Abstract
A method for communicating using a plurality of spread spectrum codes. A plurality of spreading codes are generated by use of one or more linear feedback shift registers configured with feedback taps. The spreading codes may be maximal or non-maximal. A plurality of code portions are selected, one from each of the spreading codes. The code portions each have the same length and are selected for low cross-correlation and favorable auto-correlation and spectral properties. Each of the code portions is associated with a data symbol representing a unique group of data bits. An input data stream is divided into groups of data bits and, in response thereto, the code portion associated with each group of data bits is transmitted. At the receiver, the transmitted signal is captured in one or more receive shift registers. The receive shift register or registers have tap locations matching the tap locations of the transmitter, and simultaneously detect for each code portion by combining the incoming signal with each of the taps for a given code portion. When a code portion is recognized, a sequence of consecutive ones is output. More than one code portion may be sent and received using offse…
