Direct sequence spread spectrum system with enhanced forward error correction code feature

摘要

A direct sequence spread spectrum system in which a plurality of substantially redundant second blocks are derived from a first block of data. Each of the second blocks is spread using a distinct spreading sequence, and one or more signals representing each of the spread blocks is modulated and transmitted over a wireless interface. The transmitted one or more signals are received, and estimates of one or more of the second blocks derived therefrom. The first block is then estimated from one or more of the estimated second blocks.
