Abstract :
For original paper see Panicker, J. and Kumar, S., ibid., vol.45, p.622-30 (1996). For comments see Xie, J. et al., ibid., p.1414-15. In our original paper, a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) system with imperfections in power control, channel parameters, and spreading code-phase estimation was analyzed. Xie, J. et al. noted three errors and omissions in the paper. Our responses to each of the three cases are provided.
