CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) plays an important role in modern wireless communications. MIMO refers to links with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver side. CDMA systems combined with multiple antennas is a promising technique, beyond 3G and 4G wireless communications. MIMO provides spatial diversity, which mitigates the fading. The usage of multiple antennas can significan...

SUMMARY We propose multitone-hopping code-division multiple access (MH-CDMA) using a feedback-controlled hopping pattern (FCHP) (FCHP/MH-CDMA). In the FCHP/MH-CDMA, part of the filter coefficients of an adaptive finite-duration impulse response (FIR) filter receiver are fed back to a transmitter, in which they are used as an updated hopping pattern. Each chip of the updated hopping pattern cons...

A fully asynchronous random wireless channel access protocol and transmission system based on CDMA with random spreading, termed Random Packet CDMA [1, 2], is presented. We show that RP-CDMA has the potential to achieve the capacity of the wireless channel. Furthermore, a novel non-linear receiver termed Partitioned-Spreading (PS) is introduced, which allows for significantly higher system load...

One of the promising wireless access techniques for the next generation mobile communications systems is multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA). MC-CDMA can provide good transmission performance owing to the frequency diversity effect in a severe frequency-selective fading channel. However, the bit error rate (BER) performance of coded MC-CDMA is inferior to that of orthogonal fr...

Direct Sequence (DS) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems are considered for a variety of wireless applications and services because DS-CDMA enables the transmission of multimedia messages such as voice, data and video.

Abstract Multi-carrier direct sequence code division multiple access (MC DS-CDMA) is a combination of time-domain spreading and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), while multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) is a combination of frequency-domain spreading and OFDM. In MC-CDMA, a good bit error rate (BER) performance can be achieved by using frequency-domain equaliz...

In this paper, we propose a hybrid pulse position modulation/ultrashort light pulse code-division multiple-access (PPM/ULP-CDMA) system for ultrafast optical communications. The proposed system employs spectral CDMA encoding/decoding and PPM with very short pulse separation. The statistical properties of the encoded ULP are investigated with a general pulse model, and the performance of the pro...

For various quasisynchronous (QS) CDMA systems such as LAS-CDMA system which emerged recently, in order to reduce or eliminate the multiple access interference and multipath interference, it is required to design a set of spreading sequences which are mutually orthogonal within a designed shift zone, called orthogonal zone. For traditional orthogonal sequences, such as Walsh sequences and ortho...

The demand for higher data rates along with variable QOS and variable bandwidths has led to the remarkable advancements in the communication technology. To meet the above-listed objectives, whereas the TDMA and WDMA require complex protocols and extensive hardware, the CDMA systems are much simpler and very easily support the above-mentioned services. Since optical CDMA systems assigns unique c...
