Abstract

A DS/CDMA (direct-sequence code division multiple access) system using BPSK (binary phase shift keying) modulation is simulated to determine the bit error probabilities for various numbers of users with a processing gain close to that of a cellular network. The results are compared to results obtained using the Gaussian approximation equations. The results obtained are to the feasibility of a DS/CDMA cellular network. It is concluded that DS/CDMA cellular networks appear to offer higher subscriber capacities than existing analog or TDMA (time division multiple access) formats. In addition, DS/CDMA offers additional advantages such as inherent privacy through the use of spreading codes and the ability to combat problems such as multipath fading and narrowband noise
