spread-spectrum transmission • Three advantages over fixed spectrum • Spread-spectrum signals are highly resistant to noise and interference. The process of re-collecting a spread signal spreads out noise and interference, causing them to recede into the background. • Spread-spectrum signals are difficult to intercept. A Frequency-Hop spread-spectrum signal sounds like a momentary noise burst or simply an increase in the background noise for short Frequency-Hop codes on any narrowband receiver except a Frequency-Hop spread-spectrum receiver using the exact same channel sequence as was used by the transmitter. • Spread-spectrum transmissions can share a frequency band with many types of conventional transmissions with minimal interference. The spread-spectrum signals add minimal noise to the narrow-frequency communications, and vice versa. As a result, bandwidth can be utilized more efficiently.

Direct Sequence (DS)-CDMA • It phase-modulates a sine wave pseudo-randomly with a continuous string of pseudo-noise code symbols called "chips", each of which has a much shorter duration than an information bit. That is, each information bit is modulated by a sequence of much faster chips. Therefore, the chip rate is much higher than the information signal bit rate. • It uses a signal structure in which the sequence of chips produced by the transmitter is known a priori by the receiver. The receiver can then use the same PN sequence to counteract the effect of the PN sequence on the received signal in order to reconstruct the information signal.
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) In CDMA, the narrowband message signal is multiplied by a very large bandwidth signal called spreading signal (code) before modulation and transmission over the air. This is called spreading. CDMA is also called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum). DSSS is a more general term. Message consists of symbols Has symbol period and hence, symbol rate Spreading signal (code) consists of chips Has Chip period and and hence, chip rate Spreading signal use a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence (a pseudo-random sequence) PN sequence is called a codeword Each user has its own cordword Codewords are orthogonal. (low autocorrelation) Chip rate is oder of magnitude larger than the symbol rate. The receiver correlator distinguishes the senders signal by examining the wideband signal with the same time-synchronized spreading code The sent signal is recovered by despreading process at the receiver.
CDMA Advantages Low power spectral density. Signal is spread over a larger frequency band Other systems suffer less from the transmitter Interference limited operation All frequency spectrum is used Privacy The codeword is known only between the sender and receiver. Hence other users can not decode the messages that are in transit Reduction of multipath affects by using a larger spectrum Random access possible Users can start their transmission at any time Cell capacity is not concerete fixed like in TDMA or FDMA systems. Has soft capacity Higher capacity than TDMA and FDMA No frequency management No equalizers needed No guard time needed Enables soft handoff
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Unique code to differentiate all users Sequence used for spreading have low cross-correlations Allow many users to occupy all the frequency/bandwidth allocations at that same time Processing gain is the system capacity How many users the system can support

Processing Gain • Main parameter of CDMA is the processing gain that is defined as: Gp: processing gain Bspread: PN code rate Bchip: Chip rate R: Data rate • IS-95 System (Narrowband CDMA) has a gain of 64. Other systems have gain between 10 and 100. • 1.228 Mhz chipping rate • 1.25 MHz spread bandwidth
Near Far Problem and Power Control • At a receiver, the signals may come from various (multiple sources. • The strongest signal usually captures the modulator. The other signals are considered as noise • Each source may have different distances to the base station • In CDMA, we want a base station to receive CDMA coded signals from various mobile users at the same time. • Therefore the receiver power at the base station for all mobile users should be close to eacother. • This requires power control at the mobiles. • Power Control: Base station monitors the RSSI values from different mobiles and then sends power change commands to the mobiles over a forward channel. The mobiles then adjust their transmit power. B pr(M) M M M M

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum • Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) is a spread-spectrum method of transmitting radio signals by rapidly switching a carrier among many frequency channels, using a pseudorandom sequence known to both transmitter and receiver. • Military, bluetooth
Hybrid Spread Spectrum Techniques FDMA/CDMA Available wideband spectrum is frequency divided into number narrowband radio channels. CDMA is employed inside each channel. DS/FHMA The signals are spread using spreading codes (direct sequence signals are obtained), but these signal are not transmitted over a constant carrier frequency; they are transmitted over a frequency hopping carrier frequency.
Hybrid Spread Spectrum Techniques Time Division CDMA (TCDMA) Each cell is using a different spreading code (CDMA employed between cells) that is conveyed to the mobiles in its range. Inside each cell (inside a CDMA channel), TDMA is employed to multiplex multiple users. Time Division Frequency Hopping At each time slot, the user is hopped to a new frequency according to a pseudo-random hopping sequence. Employed in severe co-interference and multi-path environments. Bluetooth and GSM are using this technique.
