Performance Improvement of Multi-Code CDMA Systems Using Bi-Orthogonal Modulation

Bi-Orthogonal 변조를 이용한 Multi-Code CDMA 시스템의 성능 개선

In this paper, we present an extension of the multi-code CDMA (code division multiple access) systems based on bi-orthogonal modulation by employing a convolutional encoder and an interleaver before serial-to-parallel conversion in the modulator. Bandwidth expansion by the convolutional encoder can be compensated for by the bi-orthogonal modulation, and the interleaver in the system scrambles the convolutionally encoded data bits so that, after serial-to-parallel conversion, each code channel conveys those bits far apart in time. The result is that the proposed system with several order of magnitude less implementational complexity, achieves quite close performance of the conventional systems comprised of Walsh modulation and multiple convolutional encoders and interleavers in all the code channels.
