Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method and apparatus for carrying out synchronous co-division multiple access (SCDMA) communication of multiple channels of digital data over a shared transmission media (1162). The system includes modems at remote units (1164) and a central unit (1160) to receive time division multiplexed digital data arranged into timeslots or channels and uses orthogonal codes to encode each channel of multiple data and spread the energy of each channel data over a frame of data transmitted in a code domain.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed July 25, 1996 and granted November 26, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended July 25, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by July 25, 2018.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
