The authors study a multiple chip-rate DS/CDMA system and its spreading code dependent performance. The multiple chip-rate technique is useful in some CDMA applications needing extra divisions among users in addition to code division to support variable data rate applications, such as multimedia systems. The study is applicable to both synchronous and asynchronous multiple chip-rate CDMA systems. A co-channel interference model based on correlation statistics for deriving bit error rate of a dual-chip-rate CDMA system is introduced considering various spreading codes, such as m-sequence, Gold, Gold-like, Kasami and Walsh codes. The results show that Gold code families are most suitable for the use in the dual-chip-fate CDMA system
The authors propose a novel multiuser detection scheme for synchronous DS/CDMA systems, the orthogonal decision-feedback detector (ODFD), which performs equally well as the decorrelating decision-feedback detector (DDFD) but with a much reduced complexity. The ODFD employs a match filter bank matching to a set of orthonormal sequences which are generated by the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation procedure based on spreading codes. The ODFD algorithm involves only the orthonormal coefficient matrix which requires no frequent recalculations even when system parameters change. Successive decision-feedback detection is performed immediately at the output of the ODFD match filter bank without the transform matrix which is required in the DDFD
