The orthogonal encoding is removed from the encoded transmitted signals and corresponding ones of the repeated symbols are added in successively received repeated blocks after the orthogonal encoding is removed.

This is achieved by orthogonal encoding of the two data streams and coherent orthogonal decoding of the received frequency modulated carrier.

The input data vector (204) consists of data samples of a received orthogonal coded signal (202).

Subscriber units transmit an orthogonally coded signal over a reverse link to the base stations.

A method and apparatus for decoding an orthogonally encoded data signal in a noncoherent receiver system.

Finally, an estimate of the power of the received orthogonal coded signal is generated (208) as a nonlinear function of the set of output values.

Joint channel estimation and maximum likelihood decoding method for Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (COFDM) systems are presented.

The method includes: Network sends a paging message to terminal device, and the paging message includes orthogonal code information to assign terminal device.

Method and apparatus for generating orthogonally encoded communication signals for communication system subscribers using multiple orthogonal functions for each orthogonal communication channel.
