Abstract
A system for maintaining orthogonality among a plurality of spread-spectrum signals arriving at a base station from a plurality of remote units. Each spread-spectrum signal of the plurality of spread-spectrum signals from each remote unit of the plurality of remote units is transmitted as a packet having a header followed by data. A base station sends a plurality of adjustment signals over a communications channel to the plurality of remote units, respectively. At each remote unit, a circuit selects, from the plurality of adjustment signals, a received-adjustment signal designated for each remote unit. A chip-sequence generator, located at each remote unit, generates a chip-sequence signal assigned to a respective remote unit and, responsive to the adjustment signal, adjusts timing of a chip-sequence signal generated by the chip-sequence generator. A remote spread-spectrum spreader processes, using the chip-sequence signal generated by the chip-sequence generator, a header-symbol signal and a data-sequence signal as an RU-spread-spectrum signal. An RU-transmitter section, time synchronized responsive to the adjustment signal, sends the RU-spread-spectrum signal over the communicati…
