Abstract
A base station transmits, in addition to a pilot channel, signals which are multiplexed with pilot symbols inserted in the respective signals in communication channels. As the transmission of the pilot channel as a reference signal for coherent detection is unnecessary with high power so as to attain high reliability, the pilot channel can be transmitted with low power by means of weight in comparison with the communication channel, so that interference with the communication channel of any other station is reduced. Moreover, accurate coherent detection can be made from the pilot symbol inserted in the communication channel on the mobile station side.
Claims6
A CDMA base station apparatus comprising:
- means for outputting a pilot channel;
- means including a spread circuit and a spread code generator for outputting a pilot channel;
- with a pilot symbol inserted therein;
- and
- transmitting means for multiplexing the pilot channel and the communication channels at the same frequency and transmitting the combination of the multiplexed pilot channel and the communication channels.
A base station apparatus comprising:
- a circuitry including a spread circuit and a spread code generator that outputs a pilot channel,
- a circuitry that outputs communication channels with a pilot symbol inserted therein;
- and
- a transmitter that multiplexes the pilot channel and the communication channels at the same frequency and transmits the combination of the multiplexed pilot channel and the communication channels.
