Abstract :
It is shown that B-CDMA (broadband code division multiple access) does not suffer from fading. As a result, the same technology can be used on post, for a secure WPBX, secure wireless access or secure cellular communication. Thus, secure, wireless, reliable voice and data (i.e., multimedia) communication can be achieved on post without wiring the post. The same system can be moved onto the battlefield to provide secure, wireless, cellular service to a moving base station. Mobility, in this case, also means flexibility since if a base station is destroyed, the mobile users can, within 1 bit, handoff to an alternate moving base station. The authors show that a commercially developed technology, B-CDMA, used for cellular telephony, wireless PBX and wireless access can, simply, by changing the PN code (TRANSEC) and adding encryption (COMSEC), be changed into a highly secure military system for use on-post and in the moving battlefield of the future. Thus, B-CDMA is the perfect NDI system for use by the DoD
