Abstract
A preamble for a reverse access channel (RACH) of a CDMA (code division multiple access) communications system comprises a pair of constituent Golay sequences A and B concatenated with at least one pair, and preferably a plurality of different pairs, of transformed sequences which are also constituent Golay sequences, each pair of transformed sequences comprising a permutation of elements of the pair of sequences A and B. The permutations can include a reversed order of elements in the sequences, a reversed order of some or all of a set of address bits identifying locations of elements in the sequences, a concatenation of subsets of elements in odd and even locations of the sequences A and B, and combinations of these permutations. A method for providing the preamble, and related apparatus using a bidirectional counter and an address permutation unit, are described.
