Spread spectrum communication device and spread spectrum communication method
First Claim
1. A communication method applied to a mobile communication system in a code division multiple access system for continuously transmitting frames in a normal mode and intermittently transmitting compressed frames in a compressed mode, in accordance with transmission power being controlled with a transmission power control step size, said method comprising:
- at a base station, transmitting transmission power control information indicating increase or decrease of transmission power to a mobile station;
at a mobile station, receiving transmission power control information from the base station;
selecting one of a first transmission power control step size for the normal mode, and a second transmission power control step size for the compressed mode, the second transmission power control step size being greater than the first transmission power control step size;
adjusting transmission power with the transmission power control step size selected in the selecting step, based on the transmission power control information received in the receiving step;
performing interleaving on a frame in bit units in the normal mode and in the compressed mode, the frame being a unit of a transmission data stream; and
in the normal mode, transmitting the interleaved frame continuously in accordance with the transmission power adjusted in the adjusting step with the first transmission power control step size, and in the compressed mode, compressing the interleaved frame, dividing the interleaved and compressed frame into a first portion including front edge of a frame timing and a second portion including rear edge of the frame window, the frame window being the same as a frame window in the normal mode, and transmitting the divided frame intermittently, in accordance with the transmission power adjusted in the adjusting step with the second transmission power control step size.

Abstract
In a compressed mode, a spread spectrum communication device interleaves bit units across multiple frames using an interleaver, reduces the spreading factor using a framing/spreading unit, outputs the compressed mode frames at a predetermined compressed mode frame timing, and increases the average transmission power in the compressed mode at a radio frequency transmitter. Furthermore, a handover between different frequencies is carried out by establishing synchronization to another frequency carrier, based on a first search code and a second search code which have been detected, and moreover, a handover between different communication systems is carried out by establishing synchronization to a GSM, based on an FCCH and a SCH which have been detected.
