A satellite system can be avoided these problems, and wherein every satellite is as a base-station node, and constitutes Cellular Networks.But the relatively large transmitter of required power in these systems is because satellite is normally operated in 22,500 miles places, earth top.In addition, unless satellite is geosynchronous, otherwise must provide a kind of device be used for when they through on the earth during certain specified point in the inter-satellite switching signal.In addition, the same with ground node, when the calling party roams in the minizone, need a kind of switching device shifter.
In addition, the cost of satellite system aspect emission is high, and is actually and can not repairs.
Therefore, consider above-mentioned situation, the present invention relates to a kind of wireless communication networks system, it is made up of a plurality of communication nodes that are positioned on the sub-orbit plane.Each node comprises the device that is used for transmitting and receiving broadband, digital wireless communication signal on a radio communication channel.Signal of communication is through the CDMA bandspread technology modulation.
The device that transmits and receives the radio digital communication signal comprises a plurality of antennas that are used to receive from the more weak signal of communication of information source.The device of the signal of communication decoding that each described antenna is received also is provided, make node can discern information source, antenna and code translator are used to improve the sensitivity of node, make it to detect and receive relative more weak signal of communication, thereby signal of communication can use frequency spectrum uninterruptedly to greatest extent.
