Abstract
A method of reducing computation in spread spectrum signals in which a spread spectrum signal sent by a transmitting station (SS1) includes a group and an individual identity code. A receiver (10, 12) stores the received signals based on their group codes and analyses the stored signals on a group by group basis. This greatly reduces this computation required when recovering individual messages from a number of simultaneously transmitted spread spectrum signals. Optionally the transmitting station may send the group and individual identity code signals simultaneously as quadrature signals.
