The invention concerns a radio communication terminal, comprising first means for transmitting/receiving RF signals to communicate in a cellular radio communication network, said first means being in standby mode when no communication is set up in the cellular network with another terminal or with the network itself. The invention is characterized in that the terminal comprises second means for receiving at least one carrier dedicated to collective data of multimedia contents, said second means being activated only when the first means are n standby mode. The invention also concerns a method for broadcasting and receiving collective data, as well as a system for broadcasting multimedia contents.

Radio communication terminal broadcasting et reception method and broadcasting system

A spread spectrum digital transmission system using low-frequency pseudorandom encoding of desired information, and a spectrum spreading and compression method used in such a system. In a transmitter in the system, each block of a digital signal to be transmitted is combined with a sample obtained from a low-frequency pseudorandom generator. The resulting various combinations are converted into orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal sequences which are modulated and transmitted to a receiver. The receiver demodulates the signal received and combines each sequence with a sample identical to that used for the low-frequency coding at the transmitter to recover the various blocks of the transmitted signal. Hence, low frequency spectrum spreading of a signal to be transmitted is achieved.
