Abstract

In the CDMA Radio Multiplex Transmission, transfer function of line is inferred by using common pilot signal and synchronous detection is performed accordingly. The transmitting end transmits by periodically inserting pilot symbols into one channel only of multiplexed channels. The receiving end infers line condition (transfer function) from the received pilot symbols and, on the basis of the information thus obtained, performs synchronous detection of each channel multiplexed.

Claims

1. A base station for executing radio communication by using a direct sequence CDMA system with a plurality of channels in a single carrier, the base station comprising:

a separator that separates transmitting data into a plurality of channels;

an inserter that periodically inserts a pilot symbol into one of the plurality of channels;

a spreader that spreads said channels and said pilot symbol by spreading codes assigned to said channels and to said pilot symbol to generate spread signals;

a multiplexer that multiplexes the spread signals to generate multiplexed signals; and

a transmitter that transmits the multiplexed signals to a mobile station,

wherein a signal level of the pilot symbol is set at m times (m>

1) a signal level of the transmitting data.

2. The base station according to claim 1, wherein said pilot symbol is periodically inserted into a channel different from a channel of said transmitting data.

3. The base station according to claim 1, wherein data transmission is not executed on another channel in the transmission period of said pilot symbol.

4. The base station according to claim 1, wherein control data and information data are transmitted by a different channel when the control data and the information data are included in said transmitting data.

5. The base station according to claim 1, wherein the transmitting data and the pilot symbol separated into said plurality of channels are burst-transmitted by using one of a TDD (Time Division Duplex) transmission system and an intermittent transmission system.

6. The base station according to claim 5, wherein in one of said TDD transmission system and said intermittent transmission system, a ramping signal is transmitted only by a channel that includes the pilot symbol.

7. The base station according to claim 1, wherein data transmission is executed on another channel in the transmission period of said pilot symbol.

8. A base station for executing radio communication by using a direct sequence CDMA system with a plurality of channels in a single carrier, the base station comprising:

a separator that separates transmitting data into a plurality of channels;

an inserter that periodically inserts a pilot symbol into one of the plurality of channels;

a spreader that spreads said channels and said pilot symbol by spreading codes assigned to said channels and to said pilot symbol to generate spread signals;

a multiplexer that multiplexes the spread signals to generate multiplexed signals; and

a transmitter that transmits the multiplexed signals to a mobile station,

wherein the transmitting data and pilot symbol separated into said plurality of channels are burst-transmitted by using one of a TDD (Time Division Duplex) transmission system and an intermittent transmission system, and in one of said TDD transmission system and said intermittent transmission system, a ramping signal is transmitted only by a channel that includes the pilot symbol.

9. A radio communication method for executing radio communication by using a direct sequence CDMA system with a plurality of channels in a single carrier, the radio communication method comprising:

separating transmission data into a plurality of channels;

periodically inserting a pilot symbol into one of the plurality of channels;

spreading the channels and the pilot symbol by spreading codes assigned to the channels and to the pilot symbol to generate spread signals;

multiplexing the spread signals to generate multiplexed signals; and

transmitting the multiplexed signals to a receiving station,

wherein a signal level of the pilot symbol is set at m times a signal level of the transmitting data, where m is greater than 1.

10. The radio communication method according to claim 9, wherein data transmission is not executed on another channel in a transmission period of the pilot symbol.
