A traffic channel transmission device for a CDMA communication system using a plurality of coding rates and orthogonal codes, determines a present channel condition and adaptively selects a coding rate and an orthogonal code according to the determination. In the device, a channel receiver receives a channel signal and a controller analyzes the received signal to decide an environment of a channel in service and generates a coding rate select signal and orthogonal code information according to the decision result. A channel transmitter includes a channel encoder for encoding transmission data at a coding rate selected according to the coding rate select signal and an orthogonal modulator for generating an orthogonal code according to the orthogonal code information to spread the encoded data with the generated orthogonal code, whereby the channel transmitter adaptively encodes and spreads the transmission data according to the channel environment. The orthogonal code information includes a number and a length of the orthogonal code.

A forward link device of a multicarrier CDMA communication system with an overlay scheme in which a multicarrier system and an IS-95 system share same frequency bands. In the forward link device, four encoders encode input data of corresponding rates with a 1/3 coding rate, respectively. A first repeater repeats two times full rate symbols output from the first encoder, and second to fourth repeaters repeat symbols output from the second to fourth encoders, respectively, according to a predetermined number of times, to match the number of corresponding output symbols to the number of full rate symbols. First to fourth interleavers interleave the symbols output from the first to fourth repeaters, respectively, to uniformly distribute the symbols of the same data bit to the carriers.

A device and method for locating a mobile station (MS) in a mobile communication system. In the MS locating device, a first antenna and a second antenna of a base station (BS) are spaced from each other by a distance equivalent to a wavelength of an MS transmission channel multiplied by a predetermined coefficient, such as one half. A first frequency downconverter and a second frequency downconverter convert signals received from the first and second antennas to baseband signals and digitize the baseband signals to chip sample data. A first channel demodulator and a second channel demodulator recover the chip sample data received from the first and second frequency downconverters and output information about the symbol start and PN code of a specific MS signal. A controller outputs a PN code for identifying the specific MS and finger position information based on the symbol start and PN code information received from the first and second demodulators. In addition, the controller may be supplied with orthogonal code information from the demodulator; in this case, the controller will output information concerning the specific Walsh code. A symbol data extractor extracts two symbols of the specific MS from the chip sample data received from the first and second frequency downconverters based on the PN code and finger position information. An incident angle estimator estimates the incident angle of the received signal from the phase difference between the extracted two symbols. A location estimator estimates the location of the specific MS based on the estimated incident angle and the round trip delay (RTD) measured for the MS.
