A method is provided for estimating a number of digital subscriber line nodes ( ) required to supply, from a line supply source ( ), a geographically distributed network of substantially sequentially numbered twisted pair lines with digital subscriber line service. The method comprises the steps of: storing, in number order, data entries for every twisted pair line of the network, each data entry comprising a pair number and a line length of the respective twisted pair line in relation to the line supply source ( ); sorting the entries stored in the database by line length; isolating those sorted entries whose twisted pair lines have a line length greater than a predetermined maximum line length in relation to the line supply source ( ); sorting the isolated entries by number; and discriminating, from the sorted isolated entries, the presence of discrete groupings of substantially contiguous entries.

Apparatus for indicating the end of an acquisition procedure between a transmitter and receiver in a direct sequence spread spectrum communications system. A transmitter generates a first acquisition code having a first acquisition code period and comprised of digital bits at a first bit rate. A circuit modulates the first digital acquisition code by a pseudo-noise code repeating at a pseudo-noise code period and consisting of a sequence of chips at a chip rate greater than the first bit rate. The first acquisition code period is an integer multiple of the pseudo-noise code period. A circuit modulates a carrier by the first digital acquisition code modulated by the pseudo-noise code. The carrier modulated by said first digital acquisition code modulated by said pseudo-noise code is transmitted for a first period of time. A circuit synchronizes a receiver to the chip rate and carrier frequency.

Circuit for recovery of a plurality of multipath direct sequence spread spectrum signal components received over a time span, wherein the multipath signal components are components of a signal generated from digital data comprised of data bits at a data bit rate modulated by a pseudo-noise code, consisting of a sequence of chips having a chip rate greater than the data bit rate, wherein the sequence of chips is a code repetition period equal or greater than the received time span of the multipath signal components. A plurality of correlators is provided. Each correlator has a first input for coupling to the multipath signal components, a second input, and an output. A pseudo-noise code generator generates a duplicate of the pseudo-noise code. A time delayer is coupled between the second inputs of a mulitiplicity of the correlators and the pseudo-noise code generator for delaying the duplicate of the pseudo-noise code by a multiple of a time delay equal to the time of a chip duration or less. A signal combiner is coupled to the plurality of phase correcting devices.

Method for indicating the end of an acquisition procedure between a transmitter and receiver in a direct sequence spread spectrum communications system. At a transmitter, a first acquisition code having a first acquisition code period and comprised of digital bits at a first bit rate is generated. The first digital acquisition code is modulated by a pseudo-noise code repeating at a pseudo-noise code period and consisting of a sequence of chips at a chip rate greater than the first bit rate, and wherein the first acquisition code period is an integer multiple of the pseudo-noise code period. A carrier frequency is modulated by the first digital acquisition code modulated by the pseudo-noise code. The carrier is modulated by the first digital acquisition code modulated by the pseudo-noise code is transmitted for a first period of time. A receiver is synchronized to the chip rate and carrier frequency, then to the pseudo-noise code period, next to the period of the data bit rate, and then to the first acquisition code period.

A correlator for processing a direct sequence spread spectrum communication system signal, wherein digital data comprised of data bits at a data bit rate is modulated by a first pseudo-noise code comprised of a sequence of chips having a pseudo-noise chip rate greater than the data bit rate, each chip having a chip period, the sequence repeating at a code period, and the pseudo-noise modulated data modulates a carrier resulting in the signal. A sampler produces digital samples of the signal. A pseudo-noise code generator produces a second pseudo-noise code replicating the first pseudo-noise code. Circuity time syncronizes the second pseudo-noise code to maximize a combined value of correlated signal energy, thereby time locking the first pseudo-noise code and the second pseudo-noise code.
