1Reliability
If high code rate encoding is used to combine multiple analog signals, then signal reliability and interference resistance are improved, but hardware and software processing speed requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the high code rate signal processing into multiple lower-rate parallel processing paths by using code division multiplexing. Multiple analog signals are encoded with orthogonal codes and processed separately at lower rates, then combined at the output, avoiding the need for high-speed processing of a single high code rate signal stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces orthogonal codes as an intermediary mechanism that enables multiple signals to share the same transmission medium at different code rates. The orthogonal codes act as a mediator that allows lower-speed processing paths to achieve the equivalent of high-speed combined signal processing through code-based signal separation and combination.
2Reliability
If high code rate encoding is used to combine multiple analog signals, then interference resistance is improved, but power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the power consumption burden by segmenting the signal processing into multiple lower-rate parallel paths using orthogonal codes. Each processing path operates at a lower rate and consumes less power, while the orthogonal code structure maintains the interference resistance benefits of high code rate encoding through code-based signal separation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the processing parameter from high code rate to multiple lower code rates by using code division multiplexing. This parameter change allows the system to maintain interference resistance through orthogonal code structure while reducing the processing speed and power consumption requirements of individual processing paths.
3Productivity
If high sampling rate ADCs are deployed to process high code rate signals, then signal processing capability is improved, but hardware complexity and resource strain increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the high sampling rate requirement into multiple lower sampling rate ADCs by using orthogonal code division. Each ADC processes a lower-rate signal path, reducing individual ADC complexity and resource requirements while maintaining overall signal processing capability through parallel processing of multiple coded signal streams.
