Abstract

A transmission method in a communications system having an orthogonal code vector for transmitting message signals. A first vector matrix is formed using a first series of cyclic shifts of a sequence having a characteristic polynomial wherein the characteristic polynomial of the sequence is a primitive polynomial having a degree r. A second vector matrix is formed using a second series of cyclic shifts in accordance with whether r is odd or even. The first vector matrix is permuted to provide an orthogonal code. The permuting operations are determined. The determined permuting operations are applied to the second matrix to provide a binary quasi orthogonal code vector. The binary quasi orthogonal code vector is applied to a message signal to provide an encoded message signal for transmission in the communications system.

Claims

1. A transmission method in a communications system for transmitting message signals, comprising the steps of:

(a) forming a vector matrix using a series of cyclic shifts of a sequence wherein the sequence has a characteristic polynomial that is a primitive polynomial;

(b) permuting the vector matrix to form an orthogonal code and thereby provide a permutation matrix;

(c) applying the permutation matrix to a message signal to provide an encoded message signal; and

(d) transmitting the encoded message signal within the communications system.
