Broadband wireless access based on code division parallel access

A wireless communication system comprising:

• a plurality of devices coupled to a wireline network, each device having a unique protocol address, a first device communicating frames of data comprising the unique protocol address of the first device, the unique protocol address of a second device, and a payload of data;
• a routing device for routing information over the wireline network, the routing based on the unique protocol address of the second device;
• and a World Wide Web radio subsystem comprising:
• a wireless modem coupled to the wireline network, the wireless modem comprising an apparatus for encoding the payloads of data into orthogonal Walsh codes and transmitting the frames of data over a wireless channel;
• and
• a plurality of radio devices each comprising a receiver for receiving the transmitted frames of data, each radio device additionally having a multi-orthogonal code division parallel access apparatus for decoding the orthogonal Walsh code payloads in the received frames.

A method for communicating in a code division parallel access system, the system comprising a plurality of base stations communicating with a plurality of wireless devices, the base stations and wireless devices capable of communicating multiple types of information, the method comprising the steps of:

• a first wireless device of the plurality of wireless devices requesting a predetermined number of user identification codes from a first base station in response to a type of information to be transmitted;
• the first wireless device receiving the predetermined number of user identification codes from the first base station;
• generating a plurality of Walsh codes in response to the predetermined number of user identification codes, each unique user identification code from the predetermined number of user identification codes generating a unique Walsh code from the plurality of Walsh codes;
• and
• substituting a first unique Walsh code for a predetermined sequence of input data to form a Walsh code stream.
