Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus for generating spreading codes in a CDMA system are disclosed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention wherein the system includes a pseudonoise (PN) code generator and a logic device configured to replace a portion of a PN code generated by the PN code generator with at least one zero or to add at least one zero to a PN code generated by the PN code generator. The PN code generator generates a PN code made up of chips. One or more of these chips may be replaced by zeros or one or more zeros may be inserted between chips. Thus, when combined at a chip level with a substantially orthogonal code such as a Walsh code the resulting spreading code will be less effected and in some instances not effected at all by certain time delays inserted into the system (i.e time lag from multi-path dispersive transmissions).
