A method and apparatus used to transmit and receive weighted data transmissions over a plurality of antennas using a plurality of different pilot signals. Different pilot signals are produced and a different pilot signal of the plurality of pilot signals is transmitted on each of a plurality of antennas. Each of the pilot signals is derived from a pseudo noise (PN) sequence and a bit sequence of the PN sequence for each of the pilot signals is different. A plurality of data streams are produced in which each of the data streams has data bits combined with bits of a PN sequence. The data streams are weighted in response to weight information received from a receiving device and the plurality of weighted data streams are transmitted using the plurality of antennas.

Interference cancellation in a spread spectrum communication system

A code division multiple access communication system transmits a pilot and traffic signal over a shared spectrum. The pilot and traffic signal have an associated code and are received over the shared spectrum. The received signals are sampled and the samples are delayed to produce a window. A weighted value for each despread pilot code window sample is determined using an adaptive algorithm. Each window sample is despread with a traffic code. Each despread traffic code window sample is weighted according to a weight corresponding to its respective pilot code sample.

A code division multiple access communication system transmits a pilot and traffic signal over a shared spectrum. The pilot and traffic signal have an associated code. Signals are received over the shared spectrum. The received signals are sampled. The samples are delayed to produce a window. The window has evenly time spaced samples. Each window sample is despread with a pilot code. A weight for each despread pilot code window sample is determined using an adaptive algorithm. Each window sample is despread with a traffic code. Each despread traffic code window sample is weighted with a corresponding weight of the determined weights. The despread traffic code window sample are combined as data of the traffic signal.

Spread spectrum receiver for receiving a data signal using an adaptive algorithm

A transmitter transmits a spread spectrum pilot and data signal. Each signal has an associated chip code. A receiver receives the transmitted pilot and data signal. The received pilot signal is filtered using the pilot chip code and weights are determined for components of the received pilot signal using an adaptive algorithm. The received data signal is weighted by the determined weights and filtered with the data signal chip code to recover data from the received data signal.
