Abstract

A method and a system are described for the transmission of data between one base station and several mobile stations via radio channels, the data streams each differing in terms of a code. In a modulator, a pre-equalization of the signals is performed in which the transmission properties of all the radio channels and the different codes of all the radio channels are taken into account.

Claims

1. A method for transmitting data between a base station and mobile stations via radio channels, comprising the steps of:

spreading data of different mobile stations with different codes; and

performing, in a modulator, a pre-equalization of signals to be transmitted, the pre-equalization taking into account all of the different codes and transmission properties of the radio channels, including radio channel interference corresponding to at least one of intersymbol interference and multiple access interference;

wherein the data is transmitted between the base station and the mobile stations, and

wherein the intersymbol interference and the multiple access interference are exclusively accounted for in the base station.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

transmitting the data from the base station to the mobile stations.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

the step of:

transmitting the data from the mobile stations to the base station.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising the step of:

ascertaining, via the base station, the transmission properties of the radio channels from data transmissions from the mobile stations to the base station.

5. An apparatus for transmitting data via at least one radio channel, the apparatus being used in a system that couples a base station and mobile stations via radio channels, the data of different mobile stations being spread with different codes, comprising:

a modulator;

a code generator coupled to the modulator, the code generator providing all of the different codes; and

a channel estimator coupled to the modulator, the channel estimator providing transmission properties of all of the radio channels,

wherein the modulator performs a pre-equalization of signals to be transmitted, the pre-equalization being based on information received from the code generator and the channel estimator, and the pre-equalization taking into account radio channel interference corresponding to at least one of intersymbol interference and multiple access interference, and

wherein the data is transmitted between the base station and the mobile stations, and

wherein the intersymbol interference and the multiple access interference are exclusively accounted for in the base station.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the data is transmitted from the base station to the mobile stations.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the data is transmitted from the mobile stations to the base station.

8. A system for transmitting data via at least one radio channel, comprising:

a base station; and

mobile stations coupled with the base station via radio channels, the data of different mobile stations being spread with different codes, wherein one of (A) the base station and (B) each of the mobile stations includes;

a modulator,

a code generator coupled to the modulator, the code generator providing all of the different codes, and

a channel estimator coupled to the modulator, the channel estimator providing transmission properties of all of the radio channels, the modulator performing a pre-equalization of signals to be transmitted, the pre-equalization being based on information received from the code generator and the channel estimator, and the pre-equalization taking into account radio channel interference corresponding to at least one of intersymbol interference and multiple access interferences

wherein the data is transmitted between the base station and the mobile stations, and

wherein the intersymbol interference and the multiple access interference are exclusively accounted for in the base station.

9. The system according to claim 8, wherein the base station ascertains the transmission properties of the radio channels from data transmissions from the mobile stations to the base station.
