Solution Overview

Problem

In navigation systems using long spreading codes, the time required for synchronization in reception devices is prolonged, which is problematic.

Innovation Solution

A transmission device that inverts part of the original code using an inversion pattern, generating a spreading code with increased randomness to prevent an increase in spreading code length, while maintaining confidentiality and improving synchronization accuracy.

1Reliability

If a long spreading code length is used to improve confidentiality and spreading gain, then the spreading rate and confidentiality are improved, but the time required for synchronization process is prolonged

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveconfidentialityVSAvoidsynchronization time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The long spreading code is divided into multiple blocks, each block containing a synchronization sequence. This segmentation allows the receiver to perform synchronization on individual blocks rather than processing the entire long code, significantly reducing synchronization time while maintaining the confidentiality benefits of the long code structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Synchronization sequences are embedded within the code blocks in advance. This preliminary placement of synchronization markers enables the receiver to quickly locate and synchronize with the transmitted signal without having to process the entire long code sequence, thus reducing synchronization time while preserving the long code's security properties

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
