Description: A Framing Method and the Synchronous Wireless System therewith Field of the Invention: The present invention relates generally to a framing method and wireless system therewith, particularly to a framing method for physical layer and the synchronous wireless system therewith, and more particularly, to a system and method that reduces interferences and combines code division multiple access with time division multiple access. Background of the invention: In a CDMA system, each remote unit modulates the data that it sends to a base station by a spreading code that is unique to the remote unit. The spread spectrum, coded signals transmitted by different remote units may overlap in both time and frequency. When these signals arrive at the receiving base station, the data sent by a remote unit are obtained by correlating the received signal with the unique spreading code of the remote unit. It is well known that the capacity of a CDMA system is limited by the interferences. The interferences include Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) among multipath signals from a same remote unit, Multiple Access Interferences (MAI) among signals from different remotes units in the service area of a same base station, and Adjacent Cell Interference (ACI) among signals from neighboring base stations and the remote units that they serve. In prior art, to reduce the adjacent cell interference, different base stations in different, nearby cells have to use different spreading codes at a certain time. Thus the code length of spreading codes have to be very long to provide enough spreading codes. This greatly increase the complexity of the system. Existing CDMA systems use pseudo-random spreading codes that result in nonzero interferences. Even when orthogonal spreading codes such as Walsh codes are used that give zero interference, the orthogonal property can be destroyed when there are multipath signals from a same remote unit or the signals from different remote units are not synchronized, resulting in interferences among different signals. In PCT application PCT/CN98/00151, invented by Li Daoben and entitled "A Spread Spectrum Multiple Access Coding Method," a coding scheme called Large Area code (LA code) was disclosed, wherein spread spectrum access code consists of basic pulses that have normalized amplitude and duration of 1 and polarity, the number of basic pulses is ascertained by such practical factors: the requested number of users, the number of usable pulse compression codes, the number of usable orthogonal carrier frequencies, system bandwidth and system maximal information rate, the intervals between these basic pulses on time axis are various, and coding just utilizes the dissimilarity of pulse positions and orders of pulses' polarities. Hereinafter such codes will be called LA codes or LA-CDMA codes, which have the same meaning. Table 1 shows a primary LA-CDMA code with 16 pulses with its corresponding sequence of 16 time slots with different lengths. Table 1 Primary LA-CDMA code When relaxing the restriction of orthogonality, i.e. to adopt quasi-orthogonality which uses imperfect orthogonal codes, to increase the number of users. For example, considering an LA code with N pulses, as the order of N basic intervals has no affect on its auto-correlation and cross-correlation functions, it can be arbitrary. When a code group with various orders of basic intervals is exploited at the same time, the number of users will increase enormously. Table 2 shows 16 LA-CDMA codes that are obtained by permuting the time slots in the primary LA-CDMA code. Table 2 List of LA-CDMA Codes The orthogonal characteristic or quasi-orthogonality of the LA codes can serve as a solution for reducing interference of adjacent service areas or channels. Summary of the invention: A object of the present invention is a framing method for physical layer and a wireless system therewith, which can provide a high capacity and high performance communications system using spread spectrum modulation. Another object of the present invention is a framing method for physical layer and a wireless system therewith, which uses orthogonal codes that have a zero- correlation window.

Detailed Description of the Invention: A preferred embodiment of a communications system of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a cellular system comprising multiple cells that serve a geographic area, a base station in each cell providing a downlink signal to remote units in the cell, and a plurality of remote units in each cell. , FIG. 2 shows a base station and a plurality of remote units in a cell. The base station includes transmitters and receivers and appropriate processors for implementing the methods of the present invention. Each of the plurality of remote units includes a transmitter, a receiver, and- an appropriate processor for implementing the methods of the present invention. As a preferred embodiment, the present invention can use the frequency band of the Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) or the Personal Communications Systems (PCS) band with frequency division duplex (FDD). As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 illustrates the 20 ms frame structure of the downlink with a chip rate of 1.2288 MHz, and the 20 ms frame structure of the uplink with a chip rate of 1.2288 MHz. The same principles and methods can be applied to different chip rates, such as multiples of 1.2288 MHz. In FIG. 3, the 20 ms frame on the downlink consists of a Forward Sync Channel (FSCH) that is 1545 chips in length, followed by nine time slot (TSO) - sub-frame (SF1, SF2, ..., SF9) pairs. Each time slot (TSO) is 136 chips in length and each sub- frame is 2423 chips in length. The Forward Sync Channel is used by a base station to provide synchronization and system information to remote units. The time slots (TSO) and the sub-frames (SF1, SF2, ..., SF9) are used to provide control and traffic channels from a base station to remote units. These time slots and sub-frames provide time division multiple access since different control and traffic channels can be transmitted at different times. The 20 ms frame on the uplink from remote units to a base station consists of a Reverse Sync Channel (RSCH) that is 1545 chips in length, followed by nine time slot (TSO) -- sub-frame (SF1, SF2, ..., SF9) pairs. The Reverse Sync Channel is used by remote units to establish reverse synchronization with a base station. The time slots and sub-frames are used to provide control and traffic channels from remote units to a base station. These time slots and sub-frames provide time division multiple access since different control and traffic channels can be transmitted at different times. The separation of the Reverse Sync Channel from the sub-frames in the time dimension minimizes the interference between the random access during reverse synchronization of remote units with a base station and transmission of control and traffic from remote units to a base station. In a slightly different but equivalent terminology, each time slot (TSO) - sub- frame (with 16 time slots) pair can be considered a sub-frame with 17 time slots and with TSO always at the front of the sub-frame. Such a change in terminology does not change the content of the frame structure on the downlink or the uplink. The present invention separates TSO from a sub-frame in its terminology. The structure of a sub-frame on the uplink can be the same as that on the downlink. FIG. 4 illustrates the structure of a sub-frame, comprising 2423 chips divided into 16 time slots (TS1, TS2, ..., TS16) of different lengths. Each sub-frame is filled with one LA-CDMA code of length 2423 chips, which determines the lengths of time slots in the sub- frame. Different base stations from different, nearby cells shall be assigned different LA-CDMA codes to reduce the adjacent cell interference. Wherein the pulse polarity of the said LA codes can be transformed, and the polarity of the said time slot can be also transformed corresponding to it. In a PCT Application with inventor, number and title of it respectively as Li Daoben, PCT-CN00/00028 and "A Scheme for Spread Spectrum Multiple Address Coding with Interference Free Window", disclosed a kind of complementary orthogonal codes referred to here as LS codes. The LS codes have a "Interference Free Window" property, which is also referred to as "zero correlation window" property. As an illustration, consider the following four LS codes of length 8: (Cl, SI) = (++-+, +-) (C2, S2) = (+++-, +-++) (C3, S3) = (-+++, -+-) (C4, S4) = (-+-, -+) The cross-correlation of any two of these codes is zero when the time shift between the two codes is within the (inclusive) window [-1, +1], and the autocorrelation of any of these codes is zero except when there is no time shift. Thus these four codes have a Interference Free Window of [-1, +1]. Similarly the following LS codes of length 16 have a Interference Free Window of [-3, +3]: (Cl, SI) = (++-++4+-, +—+-++) (C2, S2) = (++-+—+, + — +-) (C3, S3) = (+++-++-+, +-+++—) (C4, S4) = (+++—+-, +.++.+4-+) If we consider only (C1,S1) and (C2,S2), they have a Interference Free Window of [-7,+7]. Thus when remote units transmit to a base station signals that are modulated using a set of LS codes that have a Interference Free Window of [-n, +n], these signals will not interfere with each other as long as they arrive at the receiving base station within n chips with respect to each other. This eliminates inter-symbol interferences and multiple access interferences when multipath signals from a same remote unit and signals from different remote units arrive within an Interference Free Window. Wherein the selected orthogonal spread spectrum codes can be LS codes. And such a framing method, frame, or system will be referred to as LAS-CDMA. In the preferred embodiment of LAS-CDMA, ISI and MAI can be reduced to zero for all signals within a zero-correlation window, i.e., a time window within which there is zero-correlation, while ACI can be reduced to a marginal level. As long as multipath signals from a same remote unit and signals from multiple remote units are synchronized within a zero-correlation window, the ISI and MAI can be reduced to zero. Thus, using LAS-CDMA technology, high system performance and capacity can be ideally achieved. Preferably, the said LS codes fill the said time slot in form of an LS frame, which has a certain length and further includes C component for C code and S component for S code, while the C code and the S code of the LS code are filled in the said C component and S component separately. Preferably, when the length of the said allocated LS codes is shorter than length of the said C component plus the said S component, multiple LS codes can be used to fill the said C component and the said S component of the said LS frame. In case that the selected orthogonal spread spectrum codes are LS codes, the number of the said LS codes is determined by the required zero correlation window of the said LS codes. Wherein the said frames can be downlink frame. The said downlink frame includes: Frame head, used for providing forward synchronous channel of base station to mobile station and transmitting the synchronous and system information sent by the base station to the mobile station; A plurality of sub-frames, used for providing the control and traffic channel of base station to mobile station; Wherein the said frame head is divided into a plurality of time slots, in which each time slot is filled in by modulation with spread spectrum codes; the number of the said sub-frame is determined by the periodicity of the selected LA codes; each sub-frame is formed by a plurality of time slots, the number of the said time slots is determined by the number of pulses of the said LA codes, and the said time slot length varies with the variation of the pulse interval of the said LA codes; each time slot is filled in by modulation with spread spectrum codes. And the said plurality of time slots may possesses an equal length. Wherein the said frames can be downlink frame. The said uplink frame includes: Frame head, used for providing reverse synchronous channel of mobile station to base station and establishing and keeping reverse synchronization between mobile station and base station; A plurality of sub-frames, used for providing the control and traffic channel of mobile station to base station; Wherein the said frame head is divided into access time slots in order to send out the access signals modulated by orthogonal spread spectrum codes to base station, in which the length thereof lies on the. length of the access signals and the maximum time delay at the time of reverse synchronization between mobile station and base station; the number of the said sub-frame is determined by the periodicity of the selected LA codes; each sub-frame is formed by a plurality of time slots, the number of the said time slots is determined by the number of pulses of the said LA codes, and the said time slot length varies with the variation of the pulse interval of the said LA codes; each time slot is filled in by modulation with spread spectrum codes. The said plurality of time slots may possesses an equal length. FIG. 4 illustrates the structure of a time slot (TSO) or a time slot within a sub- frame (TS1, ..., TS16) according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The length of time slot TSO is always 136 chips, and the time slots within a sub-frame (TS1, ..., TS16) may vary depending upon the LA-CDMA code used in the sub-frame and are at least 137 chips. Each time slot (TSO, TS1, ..., TS16) has a similar structure, with a 4-chip gap, followed by a 64-chip C code, and then a 4-chip gap, and then followed by a 64-chip S code, and then followed by a gap whose length is 0 for TSO and can vary for a time slot within a sub-frame depending upon the LA-CDMA code used for the sub-frame. FIG. 5 illustrates the structure of the Forward Sync Channel on the downlink. It is divided into a number (N) of slots of equal length, followed by a gap. Each slot is spread by using a spreading code. To reduce the adjacent cell interference, different base stations in different, nearby cells should use different spreading codes for the Forward Sync Channel. For example, the Forward Sync Channel can be divided into 12 slots of 128 chips each, followed by a gap of 9 chips, and each slot can be spread by using an LS code of length 128 or some transformation of an LS code as disclosed in an PCT Application with inventor, number and title of it respectively as Li Daoben, PCT-CN98/00028, and "A Scheme for Spread Spectrum Multiple Address Coding with Interference Free Window". As a preferred embodiment, let the Forward Sync Channel be divided into 53 slots (N=53) with 29 chips in each slot, 4-chip gap in the front and 4-chip gap in the end. The said orthogonal spread spectrum codes can be transformed equivalently. The spreading codes for the Forward Sync Channel can be derived using a method comprising the following steps: 1. Let,4 0 = (a 00 , a 0 .... a 0 _ L _,) = (+ + + + + - + 0 + 0 - + + - 0 0 + - 0 - - ), and A, = (a 1 0 , a u .... a 1 L .j) = ( - + + - 0 0 + - 0 - - + + + + + - + 0 + 0), where L = 21. 2. The patent titled "An Orthogonal Transformation Method", inventor Daoben Li, PCT Number PCT/CN00/00092, disclosed an orthogonal transformation method to derive new codes from an existing code. An orthogonal transformation of a 21 -chip code is defined by ,k = [ a i,^ ~ i,ι 'JΦk > >*t t -ι- J{L~λ) k J> where Φ k = 2πklL , k= 0, 1, .. E-l. 3. Extend each code A i k of length 21 chips to a code of length 29 by adding the last 4 chips of the 21 -chip code to the front and adding the first 4 chips of the 21 -chip code to the end. 4. Different nearby base stations are assigned different 29-chip codes for their Forward Sync Channel to reduce the adjacent cell interference. Other embodiments of the Foreword Sync Channel are also possible by using different lengths of slots and different spreading codes in the slots, which should be covered by the present invention. FIG. 6 illustrates the structure of the Reverse Sync Channel on the uplink. It is divided into a number (M) of access slots (AS) of equal length, followed by a gap. Each access slot is used by remote units to send access signals to a base station for reverse synchronization. As illustrated in FIG. 6, an access slot contains an access signal, with gaps on both sides of an access signal to provide room for adjusting the transmission time of an access signal in order for a remote unit to achieve reverse synchronization with a base station. An access signal can be a spread spectrum signal using an orthogonal code, such as an LS code or any transformation of an LS code. FIG. 6 illustrates a preferred embodiment of an access signal that is spread using an LS code with some gap between the C code and the S code. The length of an access slot is determined according to the length of an access signal and the maximum delay from a remote unit to a base station when the remote unit attempts to establish reverse synchronization with the base station. To reduce the adjacent cell interference, different, nearby base stations should use different spreading codes for access signals on the Reverse Sync Channel. Different arrangements of the frame on the downlink and of the frame on the uplink are also possible. For example, the time slots (TSO's) in front of each sub- frame can be merged with the Forward Sync Channel to provide a Forward Sync Channel of length 2769 chips, or they can be re-arranged to create another sub-frame of length 2423 chips and a Forward Sync Channel of length 346 chips. Similarly, on the uplink, the time slots in front of each sub-frame can be merged with the Reverse Sync Channel to provide a Reverse Sync Channel of length 2769 chips, or they can be re-arranged to create another sub-frame of length 2423 chips and a Reverse Sync Channel of length 346 chips. Due to the combination of time division multiple access and code division multiple access, remote units in the preferred embodiment of the system of the present invention may not transmit signals continuously. When considering the arrival time of a signal from a remote unit that transmits in only designated time slots and sub-frames, the arrival time is normalized to the beginning of the 20 ms frame on the uplink. FIG. 7 illustrates the arrival times of signals from four different remote units that are normalized to the beginning of a 20 ms frame. Remote units RUl, RU2, and RU3 are currently connected to a base station and are transmitting control and traffic signals within their allocated time slot and sub-frame using their allocated spreading codes. The transmissions from RUl and RU3 overlap in time, but they use different spreading codes. Remote unit RU4 attempts to establish reverse synchronization by transmitting an access signal, where the access signal is always considered to be in the middle of an access slot when normalizing the arrival time of an access signal to the beginning of a 20 ms frame on the uplink. A set of remote units are considered to be synchronized with each other with respect to a zero-correlation window [-n, +n] if the time difference between the arrival times of any two remote units in the set is no more than n chips. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 illustrate the different time slot allocations per LS code for a pilot channel and a power control channel. FIG. 10 illustrates the different sub-frame allocations per LS code for a fundamental channel. A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a method to support speech and data communications by creating various channels, comprising the following steps: • Creating a cellular system to serve a geographic area by putting one base station in each cell; • Assigning to each base spreading codes for its Forward Sync Channel, spreading codes for its Reverse Sync Channel, and an LA-CDMA code to be used in each sub-frame on both the downlink and uplink; • Each base station transmitting a Forward Sync Channel in the designated time duration of FSCH to provide synchronization and system information to remote units; • Allocating LS codes/sub-frames to common and dedicated data channels to be transmitted by a base station, such as paging channels, forward common control channels, forward fundamental channels, forward dedicated control channels, and forward packet channels for packet data; • Allocating LS codes/time slots to common and dedicated control channels to be transmitted by a base station, such as pilot and power control channels; • A plurality of remote units accessing the base station by transmitting in slots in the Reverse Sync Channel in the designated time duration of RSCH to establish reverse synchronization with a base station; • Allocating LS codes/sub-frames to common and dedicated data channels on the uplink, such as access channels, reverse common control channels, reverse fundamental channels, reverse dedicated control channels, and reverse packet channels for data; • Allocating LS codes/time slots to common and dedicated control channels on the uplink, such as reverse pilot channel and reverse power control channel; For modulation, the present invention introduces an enhanced 16QAM, whose state diagram is illustrated in FIG. 11. Other modulations such as QPSK can also be used. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the present cell selection method without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. It is intended that the present invention covers modifications and variations of the systems and methods provided they fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents. Further, it is intended that the present invention cover present and new applications of the system and methods of the present invention.
