Abstract

The authors derive close upper and lower bounds on the average bit error probability for hybrid direct-sequence/slow-frequency-hopped spread-spectrum multiple-access (DS/SFH-SSMA) systems with noncoherent DPSK demodulation, using predetection diversity (selection combining and equal gain combining) in conjunction with interleaved channel coding (Hamming (7,4) code and BCH (15,7) code) operating through indoor radio channels. A multipath Rayleigh fading model is assumed for the indoor radio channel. The results show that the DS portion of the modulation combats the multipath interference, whereas the FH portion is a protection against large multiaccess interference. It is shown that, for the considered types of channel coding, the use of predetection diversity is still essential for obtaining satisfactory error performance
