Base station apparatus of mobile communication system

USPTO Application #: 20070121706
Title: Base station apparatus of mobile communication system
Abstract: A spreading and/or despreading mechanism in which the inphase component and a quadrature component of a signal are to be transmitted by using a short code and a long code. The long code has an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other. The spreading and despreading operations carry out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is a continuation of commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/673,658, filed Sep. 29, 2004 and also entitled "Base Station Apparatus of Mobile Communication System", which application is incorporated hereinto by reference in its entirety. That patent application is a divisional application of commonly assigned, co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/403,161, filed Jan. 31, 2000 and also entitled "Base Station Apparatus of Mobile Communication System", which application is also incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. The Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to a base station in a mobile communications system, and more particularly to a base station capable of carrying out communications with mobile stations through high speed digital communication channels using CDMA.

[0004] 2. The Relevant Technology

[0005] Recently, base stations in mobile communication systems have become increasingly faster owing to the development of novel communications methods such as CDMA (code division multiple access), which become possible with recent advances in digital communications techniques. In addition, fixed stations are also digitized, and come to use new switching networks such as ATM networks.

[0006] Thus, new base stations are required which meet such advances in technology.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] In the first embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a transmission apparatus comprising: spreading means for spreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of a signal to be transmitted by using a short code and a long code, the long code having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other, wherein the spreading means is further for carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code; and transmission means for transmitting the signal whose inphase component and quadrature component have been spread. Here, the spreading means may spread the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal by using a same short code for the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal. In either case, the complex-to-complex operation may be a complex-to-complex multiplication.

[0008] In the second embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a reception apparatus comprising: reception means for receiving a spread signal; and despreading means for despreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of the received signal by using a short code and a long code, the long code having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other, wherein the despreading means is further for carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the received signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code. Here, the quadrature component of the long code may be obtained by shifting a phase of the inphase component of the long code. Furthermore, the despreading means may despread the inphase component and the quadrature component of the received signal by using a same short code for the inphase component and the quadrature component of the received signal. In any case, the complex-to-complex operation may be a complex-to-complex multiplication.

[0009] In the third embodiment of the present invention, a transmission method comprises: spreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of a signal to be transmitted by using a short code and a long code at least by carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code, the long code having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other; and transmitting the signal whose inphase component and quadrature component have been spread. Here, the complex-to-complex operation may be a complex-to-complex multiplication.

[0010] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, a reception method comprises: receiving a spread signal; and despreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of the received signal by using a short code and a long code at least by carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the received signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code, the long code having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other. Here, the complex-to-complex operation may be a complex-to-complex multiplication.

[0011] In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, a communication system comprises a transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus, wherein the transmission apparatus comprises: spreading means for spreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of a signal to be transmitted by using a short code and a long code of the spreading means, the long code of the spreading means having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other, wherein the spreading means is further for carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the signal to be transmitted and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code; and transmission means for transmitting the signal whose inphase component and quadrature component have been spread. The reception apparatus comprises: reception means for receiving the spread signal; and despreading means for despreading an inphase component and a quadrature component of the received signal by using a short code and a long code of the despreading means, the long code of the despreading means having an inphase component and a quadrature component that are different from each other, wherein the despreading means is further for carrying out a complex-to-complex operation between a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the received signal and a combination of the inphase component and the quadrature component of the long code. Here, once again, the complex-to-complex operation may be a complex-to-complex multiplication.

[0012] Additional embodiments are also described herein.
