SINR for DS-CDMA with random spreading

Abstract

For wireless multipath fading channels, the performance of a direct-sequence codedivision multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system is degraded by the interferences, including the multipath interference (MPI) and the multiuser interference (MUI). For the downlink DS-CDMA with random spreading, we derive the variances of the interferences and obtain the signal-tointerference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). The simple and elegant expressions for the variances of the interferences provide useful insights, while the corresponding SINR representation is helpful in evaluating the bit-error-rate (BER) performance that takes the impact of the interferences into consideration. In order to demonstrate our approach, an example regarding the performance analysis of the two-input-single-output (2ISO) space-time block coded DS-CDMA with RAKE reception is also provided.

Optimal SIR for an hybrid cellular DS/SFH CDMA system

“…Previous studies of spectral efficiency of cellular systems with frequency reuse were based on a criterion introduced by Hatfield [1], Lee [2] and Prasad and Kegel [3] which only measured the traffic loading rather than the throughput intensity. However, in cellular systems, spectral efficiency is usually measured by the overall throughput per cell per second per Hz [4,5].…”
