Abstract:
1. A communication system comprising: a base station that is configured to communicate messages in a plurality of frame slots within a message cycle, wherein the base station is configured to transmit the messages based on a single DSS spreading code; and a plurality of transceivers, each transceiver being configured to be activated at an assigned frame slot offset and at an assigned frame slot interval within the message cycle, to facilitate communication of messages between the base station and the transceiver during a number of frame slots within the message cycle based on the offset and interval, at least two of the transceivers having different frame slot offsets and frame slot intervals, wherein each of the transceivers are configured to decode the messages based on the single DSS spreading code and a substantially fixed code-phase that is associated with each transceiver, and wherein a common code-phase is concurrently associated with multiple transceivers.
