Abstract

Un réseau de communication d'accès multiple à répartition dans le temps- répartition par code synchrone (TD-SCDMA) applique une structure trame ayant un tiroir de taille constante. Des données de signalisation, comportant notamment des données de synchronisation, d'une connexion particulière sont ajoutées à un décalage prédéterminé du début d'un tiroir sélectionné dans la trame, et le décalage est transmis sur le canal de diffusion commun (BCH). Les données de synchronisation sont, de préférence, transmises dans le même tiroir par le canal d'accès aléatoire (RACH). Pour établir une liaison de télécommunications, un émetteur fonctionnant dans le réseau sélectionne un premier mot de code et une première localisation temps dans un créneau temporel montant, ajoute le premier mot de code à la première localisation temps dans le créneau temporel montant et transmet le premier mot de code à la localisation temps choisie. Un récepteur recherche une correspondance du premier mot de code dans au moins une localisation temps dans au moins un créneau temporel destiné à la liaison montante et détermine un ensemble éventuellement vide de canditats potentiels pour les mots de code et localisations. Si l'ensemble de candidats n'est pas vide, il évalue la différence de temps entre au moins un des candidats localisation temps et au moins une localisations temps prédéterminées.
