Abstract
A wireless communications network including a base station ( 10) and wireless units (UE) is disclosed. The wireless units (UE) request a connection with the base station (10) by the transmission of a preamble within time slots designated by the base station (10). The disclosed preambles are Walsh Hadamard code symbols repeated a number of times so as to have the same length as a cell-specific scrambling code. The wireless unit (UE) requesting a connection pseudo-randomly selects a time slot from those available and one of the Walsh Hadamard code symbols replicates the code symbol into a spread interleaved bitstream scrambles this bitstream and transmits it to the base station (10). Upon receipt the base station (10) applies the incoming bitstream to a matched filter (98) to descramble the signal following which the symbol is de-interleaved by way of a sequence of delay lines (100). Despreaders (102) generate each bit of the symbol from corresponding taps of the delay lines (100) and the symbol is applied to a correlator (104 126 136) to determine the transmitted preamble.
