CDMA communication with a propagation delay between a base and a mobile station taken into account
First Claim
1. A code division multiple access communication method comprising the steps of generating at a base station a base generated spectrum spread pattern, modulating a base transmission signal by said base generated spectrum spread pattern into a downward transmission signal for reception at a mobile station as a downward reception signal, synchronizing said base generated spectrum spread pattern with an upward reception signal received from said mobile station to produce a base synchronized spectrum spread pattern, demodulating said upward reception signal by said base spectrum spread pattern into a base reception signal, generating at said mobile station a mobile generated spectrum spread pattern, modulating a mobile transmission signal by using said mobile generated spectrum spread pattern as an adjusted spectrum spread pattern into an upward transmission signal for reception at said base station as said upward reception signal, synchronizing said mobile generated spectrum spread pattern with said downward reception signal to produce a mobile synchronized spectrum spread pattern, and demodulating said downward reception signal by said mobile synchronized spectrum spread pattern into a mobile reception signal, wherein said code division multiple access communication method comprises the steps of:
- detecting at said base station a base station delay datum between said base generated and synchronized spectrum spread patterns;
inserting said base station delay datum into said downward transmission signal as an inserted delay datum; and
adjusting at said mobile station said mobile generated spectrum spread pattern into said adjusted spectrum spread pattern in response to said inserted delay datum.

Abstract
In a CDMA communication network, each base station (BS) is made to establish synchronism between a downward transmission signal directed to a mobile station (MS) and an upward reception signal received from the mobile station by adjusting in the mobile station a mobile generated SS pattern into an adjusted SS pattern of producing an upward transmission signal for reception at the base station as the upward reception signal. In order to get the adjusted SS pattern, the base station inserts in the downward transmission signal an inserted signal representative of a propagation delay t(D) between the base and the mobile stations and a propagation delay increment t(d) while the mobile station is in a prelminary state of receiving the downward transmission signal as a downward reception signal first from the base station and is in a steady state, respectively. The signals may ba propagated through at least one communication satellite. Preferably, each mobile station comprises a delay circuit (53) for synchronizing the adjusted SS pattern with an adjusted time, which is equal to t(B)-t(D) and to t(B)-t(d) in the preliminary and the steady states, where t(B) represents a base station absolute time at which a base generated SS pattern is generated for downward transmission signals directed to mobile stations covered by the base station.
