Background technology
In recent years, along with the sharp increase of mobile voice service demand, the demand of wireless telecommunications also gets more and more,
Radio spectrum resources is increasingly becoming bottleneck, and increasing operator considers to dispose UMTS(Universal
Mobile Telecommunications System, UMTS)/LTE(Long Term
Evolution, Long Term Evolution) network, but the limited frequency spectrum of operator own, even some operator are also
Not getting corresponding frequency range, limited frequency spectrum resource is increasingly difficult to meet the communication need of user.Therefore,
Operator typically can more effectively reuse existing hardware resource and frequency spectrum resource to dispose UMTS or
LTE。
In 3GPP R9 standardisation process, VAMOS(Voice over Adaptive Multi-user channels
On One Slot, based on adaptive multiuser time slot multiplexing speech business) technology propose by GSM

Launching transmission on time slot, terminal and base station receiver are respectively by eliminating the interference of pairing user and combining inspection
The method demodulation target information surveyed, thus improve the voice capacity of GSM network.
Specifically, in VAMOS system, on down direction, by TSC (Train in a community
Sequence Code, training sequence code) orthogonal two users' pairings, and at GMSK (Gaussian
Minimum Shift Keying, GMSK Gaussian-filtered minimum shift keying) introduce on the basis of modulation system
Two pairings are used by QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, QPSK) modulation system
The speech data at family is modulated on orthogonal I road and Q road respectively, uses orthogonal sub-channels multiplexing to obtain two-way
VAMOS voice signal, then uses Alpha-QPSK to carry out the transmitting of downstream signal, and due to TSC
Orthogonality between sequence, two users of pairing with individual reception downstream signal and can work simultaneously.Up
On direction, use GMSK modulation mode, and distinguished by orthogonal TSC sequence so that two of pairing
User uses orthogonal TSC independent transmission upward signal, and data is sent on same time slot, receives side
The technology such as SIC (Successive Interference Cancellation, successive interference cancellation) can be used by associating
Detection, is demodulated respectively to the upward signal of two users' transmittings of pairing.
