First Claim
1. An apparatus for transmitting digital data within a network made up of a plurality of the appratus, said apparatus comprising:
- a clock;
first means for coding the digital data to be transmitted;
second means for monitoring the transmissions within the network and for determining unused code words;
third means for selecting a code word from the set of unused code words determined by said second means;
fourth means for defining a carrier frequency, a jitter-insertion timing delay and a phase based on the code word selected by said third means, said fourth means synchronized to the clock;
fifth means for generating a representative signal representing the digital data having a phase corresponding to the phase defined by the fourth means and having a sync pulse with a timing delay corresponding to the timing delay defined by the fourth means, and for modulating the respresentative signal onto the carrier signal; and
sixth means for transmitting the modulated carrier signal.

Abstract
A CDMA format is used within a network to permit communication between members of a network. Network members are synchronized to each other and are each aware of a predetermined set of code words which has been established. A member desiring to transmit data selects a code word from the predetermined set. If there are unused code words, one of the unused words is randomly selected. If all words are being used, the code word of the farthest user is selected. Since all members are synchronized in time to stable clocks, the range of each user is known. All members of the network are always listening and keeping track of detections of other users and code words. Transmitted signals are a series of pulses with a jitter or sync pulse inserted within each series. The number and location of sync pulses is unique for each code and defines the CDMA code of the signal. A pseudorandom noise generator synchronized to the clock is gated with coded data pulsed with appropriate jitter insertion and transmitted over a frequency determined by the pseudorandom number at any instant in time.
