Provided are multiuser communication methods and devices for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). N modulated symbols which are obtained by modulating a code block coded by a channel coder are acquired, where N is a positive integer more than or equal to 2. The N modulated symbols are spread according to N spread sequences with a specified length, and there may be at least two different spread sequences in the N spread sequences with the specified length. The spread modulated symbols are transmitted.

A fixed communication network is disclosed in which a plurality of transmitters feed signals via tributary transmission lines of different lengths onto a shared network component. A timing reference signal is distributed to the transmitters. The shared network component in some embodiments takes the form of a transmission line. In order to enable the sharing of the capacity of the shared network component, each of the plurality of transmitters codes data for transmission in accordance with a code division multiple access scheme. The efficiency of usage of the shared network component is improved by synchronizing the arrival of the encoded bits at the shared network component. This is achieved by populating a store within each transmitter with a pre-set timing offset, and timing the transmission of data in accordance with the timing reference signal received by the transmitters and the pre-set timing offset.

An apparatus for wireless communication in a millimeter wave (mmW) mesh network is described. The apparatus may include a processor, memory in electronic communication with the processor, a radio component including a plurality of mmW radios in electronic communication with the processor, each mmW radio configured to establish a mmW connection with a node in the mmW mesh network, and a pole mount component coupled with a first section of the radio component.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for exploiting Radio Access Technology (RAT) system information blocks for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning. The method may include processing, by a mobile device with carrier aggregation, a voice call via a first RAT, the processing of the voice call causing second RAT capabilities of the mobile device to go out of service. The method may also include accessing a communications network using the second RAT with an available receiver of the mobile device during the voice call via the first RAT. The method may also include obtaining, with the available receiver, timing information from one or more broadcast system information blocks of the second RAT, and determining a time based, at least in part, on the obtained timing information.

Wireless communications systems and methods related to synchronization signal (SS) transmission coordination among base stations (BSs) and restricted SS measurements at user equipments (UEs) are provided. A first BS transmits a first SS burst in a first SS transmission period of a plurality of SS transmission periods. The first SS transmission period is designated to the first BS. A second SS transmission period of the plurality of SS transmission periods is designated to a second BS. The first SS transmission period and the second SS transmission period are different. The first BS receives, from a UE, a first signal in synchronization with the first SS burst. The first signal includes a SS measurement of the first SS burst.

A cellular communication system comprising a plurality of geographically spaced base stations (2) each of which comprises an antenna arrangement (4, 6, 8) per base station sector, each of which antenna arrangements has an antenna element for generating an array of narrow beams (10, 12, 14) covering the sector. Timeslots are simultaneously transmitted over each of the beams so as to generate successive sets of simultaneously transmitted timeslots per sector. The timeslots are each split into multiple orthogonal codes, for example Walsh codes. The communication system additionally comprising a scheduling device (31) for allocating for successive sets of timeslots common overhead channels, including a common pilot channel, which are allocated to the same sub-set of codes of each timeslot in the set. For successive sets of timeslots different data traffic is allocated to the same sub-set of codes of each timeslot in the set. This effectively generates a sector wide antenna beam carrying the common overhead channels and a plurality of narrow beams each of which carry different data traffic. Inter-beam interference is addressed by the application of Adaptive Modulation and Coding and by an inter-beam handoff scheme. The handoff scheme ensures that when an end user equipment is located in a cusp region between adjacent beams the antenna arrangement simultaneously transmits data traffic to that mobile station on at least both of the adjacent beams.

Processes and device configurations are provided for navigation using communications signal observables and using differential and non-differential frameworks. Communication signals, such as cellular communication signals may be used to obtain position estimates of a device such as a rover or unmanned aerial vehicle. Frameworks are provided for determination of position estimates with and without the use of a base station device. Processes can include use of position estimates to aid navigation.
