This paper describes the influence of Multiple Access (MA) interference on the performance of a non-cohcrcnt hybrid Direct Sequence Fast Frequency Hopping SSMA Communication system applying FSK-modulation. The MA-interference plays an important role in determining the total interference in a Spread Spectrum system, especially in a non-cellularenvironment, where Power Control is hardly possiblc....

A novel audio watermarking scheme based on frequency-selective spread spectrum (FSSS) technique is presented. Unlike most of the existing spread spectrum (SS) watermarking schemes that use the entire audible frequency range for watermark embedding, the proposed scheme randomly selects subband(s) signal(s) of the host audio signal for watermark embedding. The proposed FSSS scheme provides a natu...

The Bluetooth wireless communication technology provides wireless solutions applicable for a number of communications needs. In addition, multiple independent piconets are possible and likely to occur within the same location, either intentionally or by chance. Bluetooth devices utilize frequency hopping and independent piconets operate on different hopping sequences. Although the use of indepe...

The overlap of transmission ranges among multiple Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs) is referred to as coexistence. The interference is most likely to affect the communication links and degrade the performance when sensors of different WBANs simultaneously transmit using the same channel. In this paper, we propose a distributed approach that adapts to the size of the network, i.e., the number ...

The present paper focuses on the application of the base station cooperation (BSC) technique in fractional frequency reuse (FFR) networks. Fractional frequency reuse is considered to be a promising scheme for avoiding the inter-cell interference problem in OFDMA cellular systems, such as WiMAX, in which the edge mobile stations (MSs) of adjacent cells use different subchannels for separate tran...

Conventional additive spread-spectrum (SS) data embedding has a dangerous security flaw that unauthorized receivers can blindly extract hidden information without the knowledge of carrier(s). In this paper, pseudo-noise (PN) masking technique is adopted as an efficient security measure against illegitimate data extraction. The proposed PNsequence masked SS embedding can offer efficient security...

This paper proposes the use of a LoRa like chirp spread spectrum physical layer as basis for new Power Line Communication modulation scheme suited low-bandwidth communication. It is shown that robust communication can be established even in channels exhibiting extreme multipath interference, impulsive noise and low SNR (−40 dB), with synchronisation requirements relaxed compared to conventional...

With the ever-growing advancements in the field of technology, Digital communication systems are becoming increasingly attractive and flexible for a secure form of data communication. Spread Spectrum overcomes the severe levels of interference that are encountered in the transmission of the digital information and rely upon shift register codes. This paper is in accordance with the design of Sp...
