Theory of Code Division Multiple Access Communication / IEEE Press Series on Digital & Mobile Communication (PDF)

A comprehensive introduction to CDMA theory and application

Code division multiple access (CDMA) communication is rapidly
replacing time- and frequency-division methods as the cornerstone
of wireless communication and mobile radio. Theory of Code Division
Multiple Access Communication provides a lucid introduction and
overview of CDMA concepts and methods for both the professional and
the advanced student.

Emphasizing the role CDMA has played in the development of wireless
communication and cellular mobile radio systems, the author leads
you through the basic concepts of mobile radio systems and
considers the different principles of multiple access-time
division, frequency division, and code division. He then analyzes
three 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 moments
of CDMA system decision statistics, Theory of Code Division
Multiple Access Communication is a ready reference for every
engineer seeking an understanding of the history and concepts of
this key communications technology.
