Code phase assignment DS/CDMA communications for indoor wireless Rician multipath fading channels

摘要

The technique of using a single basic signature sequence for the DS/CDMA system was investigated. All users have their sequences differed by cyclic phase shifts from a basic signature sequence. It is called Code Phase Assignment (CPA). In [1], it has been shown that the CPA DS/CDMA technique yielded better performance over conventional DS/CDMA communications by substantial reduction of the multiple access interference (MAI) and the multipath interference (MI) for a simplified channel model. This paper further investigates its performance in the indoor Rician multipath fading channel. Comparison with conventional DS/CDMA system will be made and the effect on the change of system parameters will be investigated. Higher multiple access capacity over conventional DS/CDMA will be demonstrated. Lastly, CPA could reduce the effort of exhaustive search for sequences which makes it suitable for indoor applications.
