PN Sequences - Part 2
How PN Codes are used in IS-95 CDMA Systems
By Dr. Ernest Simo


1.0 Using the Short PN Code



How the Short PN Code is Used
Let us assign the Short PN Offsets PN(t- t A) and PN(t- t B) to cell A and cell B respectively. The signal from cell A to Mobile A is of the form di(t)• PN(t- t A). Likewise the signal from cell B to Mobile B is of the form dj(t)• PN(t- t B).

The received signal at Mobile A is the composite signal from cell A and cell B. (Both cells are on the same 1.25 MHz Frequency band.). Likewise, the received signal at Mobile B is the same composite signal from cell A and cell B. The composite signal received by each Mobile can be represented as:

Rx = di(t)• PN(t- t A) + dj(t)• PN(t- t B)

Here, we have ignored the propagation delay which can be readily resolved by the synchronization process at the Mobiles.
