PERMISSION-BASED SECURE MULTIPLE ACCESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for selectively controlling access to multiple data streams which are communicated using a shared frequency spectrum and a shared spreading code, comprising the steps of:
- forming a global data communication signal by amplitude modulating a global data signal comprising global data symbols;
forming a phase modulated signal by phase modulating a data signal including protected data symbols;
forming a protected data communication signal by changing phase angles of said protected data symbols by a variable angle Ø and
combining said phase modulated signal with a spreading sequence;
combining said global data communication signal and said protected data communication signal to form an output communication signal having a spread spectrum format; and
transmitting said output communication signal over a communications channel.

Abstract
Systems (100) and methods for selectively controlling access to multiple data streams which are communicated using a shared frequency spectrum and spreading code. The methods involve forming a global data communication signal (134) by amplitude modulating a global data signal (130) comprising global data symbols and forming a phase modulated signal (120) by phase modulating a protected data signal. The phase modulated signal represents protected data symbols. The methods also involve forming a protected data communication signal (126) by changing phase angles of the protected data symbols using a variable angle Ø determined by a random number source and combining the protected data signal with a spreading sequence (CSC). The methods further involve combining the global and protected data communication signals to form an output communication signal (140) having a spread spectrum format. The output communication signal is transmitted over a communications channel (104).
