Abstract :
The reverse-link performance of synchronous DS-CDMA is investigated in Rician multipath fading environments. The numerical results show that the performance benefits of synchronous transmission depend on the specular path´s power as well as on the multipath intensity decay factor of the channel. The achievable bit-error-rate reduction may become as high as an order of magnitude in comparison to the corresponding asynchronous system
