Theory of Code Division Multiple Access Communication

A comprehensive introduction to CDMA theory and application Code division multiple access (CDMA) communication is rapidlyreplacing time- and frequency-division methods as the cornerstoneof wireless communication and mobile radio. Theory of Code DivisionMultiple Access Communication provides a lucid introduction andoverview of CDMA concepts and methods for both the professional andthe advanced student. Emphasizing the role CDMA has played in the development of wirelesscommunication and cellular mobile radio systems, the author leadsyou through the basic concepts of mobile radio systems andconsiders the different principles of multiple access-timedivision, frequency division, and code division. He then analyzesthree major CDMA systems-direct sequence (DS) CDMA systems,frequency hopped (FH) CDMA systems, and pulse position hopped (PPH)CDMA systems. Other topics covered include: * Spread spectrum (SS) technology * Forward error control coding * CDMA communication on fading channels * Pseudorandom signals * Information theory in relation to CDMA communication * CDMA cellular networks Complete with useful appendices providing analyses of the momentsof CDMA system decision statistics, Theory of Code DivisionMultiple Access Communication is a ready reference for everyengineer seeking an understanding of the history and concepts ofthis key communications technology.
