20080225927 | Transmission method - In a transmission method of the present invention, when transmitting an information bit from a transmitter to a receiver, an encoder of the transmitter firstly inputs and encodes the information bit, and a modulator then modulates the encoded information bit to create a modulation symbol. A spreader spreads the obtained modulation symbol using a rotation orthogonal code having a rotation angle that is appropriate to a combination of the modulation method and the coding rate, and transmits it to a transmission path. The receiver performs a reverse operation of the transmitter, and decodes the information bit. In QPSK modulation where the coding rate of an error-correction code is ½, when a rotation angle that obtains a same signal point as OFDM is 0°, spreading is performed using a rotation orthogonal code having a rotation angle of between 17° and 45°, or between −17° and −45°, thereby reducing bit error and enabling highly-reliable communication to be achieved. | 09-18-2008 |

20090110033 | MULTICARRIER SUB-LAYER FOR DIRECT SEQUENCE CHANNEL AND MULTIPLE-ACCESS CODING - Carrier Interferometry (CI) provides wideband transmission protocols with frequency-band selectivity to improve interference rejection, reduce multipath fading, and enable operation across non-continuous frequency bands. Direct-sequence protocols, such as DS-CDMA, are provided with CI to greatly improve performance and reduce transceiver complexity. CI introduces families of orthogonal polyphase codes that can be used for channel coding, spreading, and/or multiple access. Unlike conventional DS-CDMA, CI coding is not necessary for energy spreading because a set of CI carriers has an inherently wide aggregate bandwidth. Instead, CI codes are used for channelization, energy smoothing in the frequency domain, and interference suppression. CI-based ultra-wideband protocols are implemented via frequency-domain processing to reduce synchronization problems, transceiver complexity, and poor multipath performance of conventional ultra-wideband systems. CI allows wideband protocols to be implemented with space-frequency processing and other array-processing techniques to provide either or both diversity combining and sub-space processing. CI also enables spatial processing without antenna arrays. Even the bandwidth efficiency of multicarrier protocols is greatly enhanced with CI. CI-based wavelets avoid time and frequency resolution trade-offs associated with conventional wavelet processing. CI-based Fourier transforms eliminate all multiplications, which greatly simplifies multi-frequency processing. The quantum-wave principles of CI improve all types of baseband and radio processing. | 04-30-2009 |

A Direct Spatial Antenna Modulation (DSAM) system makes use of the spatial characteristics of a radiating antenna structure to directly alter a signal transmitted or received by the radiating structure. When used for transmitting data, a data stream maps a carrier to different spatial points of excitation in the antenna structure, where each chosen configuration has different radiating characteristics including phase, amplitude, and polarization, which can be used represent data symbols. A code spreading sequence is applied to switch the output of the DSAM antenna to spatial points in the antenna to spread an input signal. The code spreading sequence is applied to a receive antenna to de-spread a previously spread signal. This abstract is not to be considered limiting, since other embodiments may deviate from the features described in this Abstract. | 08-19-2010 |
