Abstract

Abstract A CDMA receiving apparatus which can perform coherent detection in multi-code transmission with high accuracy by using a pilot signal, and can be easily produced. The apparatus demodulates data multi-code-transmitted through a plurality of channels, wherein in each of systems for demodulating reception signals of the respective channels, there are provided spread code generating units (151, 153, 155 and 157) for generating spread codes allocated to the channels, spread code generating units (152, 154, 156 and 158) for generating spread codes in which a pilot signal is spread, and despreading units (131 to 134) for despreading the reception signal on the basis of the spread codes generated by those spread code generating means, so that the transmission condition of line is estimated on the basis of the pilot signal extracted by despreading and coherent detection of the reception signals of the respective channels is corrected on the basis of the result of the estimation. Because the transmission condition of line can be estimated by the respective systems, information of the transmission condition need not be distributed to the respective systems.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
A CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) receiving apparatus for demodulating data multi-code-transmitted through a plurality of channels, said apparatus comprising in at least one part of systems for demodulating reception signals of the respective channels: first spread code generating means (151, 153, 155, 157) for generating spread codes allocated to the channels for demodulation; second spread code generating means (152, 154, 156, 158) for generating spread codes in which a pilot signal is spread; and despreading means (131, 132, 133, 134) for despreading the reception signal on the basis of the spread codes generated by said first and second spread code generating means, whereby channel condition is estimated on the basis of the pilot signal extracted by despreading so that the reception signals of the respective channels are subjected to coherent detection on the basis of a result of the estimation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 37 words
A CDMA receiving apparatus according to Claim 1, wherein: said pilot signal is spread on the basis of one spread code; and said second spread code generating means (152, 154, 156, 158) generates said one spread code.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 63 words
A CDMA receiving apparatus according to Claim 1 or 2, wherein: each of said systems includes said despreading means, and selection means (141, 142, 143, 144) for selecting said spread codes generated by said first and second spread code generating means (151, 153, 155, 157, 152, 154, 156, 158) and supplying the selected spread code to said despreading means (131, 132, 133, 134).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 77 words
A CDMA receiving apparatus according to Claim 3, wherein: said selection means (141, 142, 143, 144) supplies the spread code generated in each pilot signal reception period by said second spread code generating means (152, 154, 156, 158) to said despreading means (131, 132, 133, 134) and supplies the spread code generated in each information data reception region by said first spread code generating means (151, 153, 155, 157) to said despreading means (131, 132, 133, 134).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 52 words
A CDMA receiving apparatus according to Claim 1, wherein: said pilot signal is spread while being shifted in time on the basis of spread codes allocated to the respective channels so that said second spread code generating means (152, 154, 156, 158) successively generate the spread codes allocated to the respective channels.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 128 words
A CDMA receiving apparatus according to Claim 5, wherein: each of said systems includes a first despreading means (631, 633, 653) for despreading the reception signal on the basis of the spread code generated by said first spread code generating means (651, 653, 655), and a second despreading means (632, 634, 636) for despreading the reception signal on the basis of the spread code generated by said second spread code generating means (652, 654, 656); and the transmission condition of line is estimated on the basis of the pilot signal extracted by despreading in said second despreading means (632, 634, 636) so that the signal despread by said first despreading means (631, 633, 653) is subjected to coherent detection on the basis of a result of the estimation.
