A two-layer spreading code scheme for dual-rate DS-CDMA systems

摘要

This letter considers multiuser detection in variable-spreading-length multi-rate direct-sequence code-division multiple-access systems. A two-layer spreading (TLS) code scheme is proposed which facilitates the low-complexity adaptive implementation of linear minimum mean-square error multiuser receivers in a dual-rate system. It is demonstrated via large system analysis and simulation that imposing a TLS structure does not incur loss in terms of the output signal-to-interference ratio performance.
