System and method for spread spectrum communication
View Patent ↗A spreading code generating apparatus carries out M-sequence multiplication and zero value addition of generated orthogonal codes to obtain channel identification codes, and then carries out inverse Fourier transform of the channel identification codes to generate spreading codes and inverse spreading codes. A transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus store the spreading codes and the inverse spreading codes generated by the spreading code generating apparatus, respectively, and use a single code respectively selected from the stored codes to carry out spread spectrum communication.
1. An apparatus for generating a time domain vector used in CDMA communication, the apparatus comprising:
a code outputting section configured to output a PN code selected from among a plurality of PN codes different from each other, the PN code including a predetermined number of PN code elements whose absolute values are equal to each other;
a zero value adding section configured to insert a zero value element whose value is 0 into the PN code to generate a frequency domain vector, the frequency domain vector having an unused frequency band and used frequency bands separated by the unused frequency band, the unused frequency band being a frequency band used by another communication, the PN code elements being allocated contiguously in the used frequency bands, and the zero value element being allocated in the unused frequency band; and
an inverse Fourier transforming section configured to convert the frequency domain vector into the time domain vector through an inverse Fourier transform.
