Abstract

The authors present an overview of the characteristics of code division multiple access (CDMA) as it is currently being envisioned for use in wireless communications. There are many considerations in the design of such systems, and there are multiple designs being discussed. CDMA has been proposed for both terrestrial links and satellite links. However, there are key differences in the characteristics of the two types of links relative to the way they affect a CDMA system. The authors show how the ideas presented affect both terrestrial and satellite-based systems
