1. A method for communicating information between a transmitting node and a receiving node of a multi-node communication network, said method comprising:
- a) assigning blocks of bits embodying said information to corresponding subsets of a set of binary spreading-code sequences, at least one of said subsets of said set of binary spreading-code sequences containing more than one of said binary spreading-code sequences; and
b) transmitting simultaneous signals containing selected subsets of said set of binary spreading-code sequences from said transmitting node to said receiving node.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for communication in a spread spectrum network are disclosed. Blocks of bits embodying information are assigned to corresponding subsets of binary spreading code sequences and at least one of the subsets of binary spreading code sequences contains more than one binary spreading code sequence. Selected subsets of the binary spreading code sequences are then simultaneously transmitted from a transmitting node to a receiving node.

- 19. A communication network comprising a transmitting node and a receiving node, said transmitting node simultaneously transmitting signals containing individual spreading-code sequences in a designated first subset of a set of spreading-code sequences during a specified first time interval, and simultaneously transmitting signals containing individual spreading-code sequences in a designated second subset of said set of spreading-code sequences during a specified second time interval, each of said designated first and second subsets of said set of spreading-code sequences being selected from a plurality of subsets of said set of spreading-code sequences identified with one of said transmitting and receiving nodes, at least one of said designated first and second subsets of said set of spreading-code sequences containing more than one spreading-code sequence.

29. A method for communicating information between a transmitting node and a receiving node of a multi-node communication network, said method comprising:
-
a) generating a set of binary spreading-code sequences by combining contents of specified stages of a first binary shift register with contents of specified stages of a second binary shift register, said set of binary spreading-code sequences containing more than one binary spreading-code sequence; b) assigning blocks of bits embodying said information to corresponding subsets of said set of binary spreading-code sequences, each of said subsets of said set of binary spreading-code sequences containing at least one of said binary spreading-code sequences; and c) transmitting signals containing selected subsets of said set of binary spreading-code sequences from said transmitting node to said receiving node. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
