Abstract
Message information is sent from an origination node to a destination node through a number of route-processing nodes (300). Routing/processing codes are determined for the number of route-processing nodes (300), and a destination code is determined for the destination node. Signal routes from origination nodes to destination nodes are determined in terms of multi-level paths. Different codes are used to identify the different path levels. Data that is to be sent to a particular user located at a destination node is first spread using the destination code for that destination node. This spread spectrum signal is spread a second time using a first routing/processing code. In addition, the data can be spread a number of additional times using a number of routing/processing codes. Route-processing nodes (300) receive and partially decode signals. During the transmission of the spread data, decoding processes are performed, and the decoded data is routed based on the results of these decoding processes.
