The measurements for Multiple Access Interference (MAI) problems and the improvement of the data rate are key issues on the advanced wireless networks. In this paper, the nonorthogonal Code Shift Keying Code Division Multiple Access (CSK/CDMA) with received-power adaptive access control scheme is proposed. In our system, a user who is ready to send measures the received power from other users, and then the user decides whether to transmit or refrain from transmission according to the received power and a pre-decided threshold. Not only overcoming the MAI problems, but our system also improve the throughput performance. The throughput performance of the proposed system is evaluated by theoretical analysis. Consequently, the nonorthogonal CSK/CDMA system improves by applying received-power adaptive access control. It was also found that the throughput performance of the nonorthogonal CSK/CDMA system is better than that of the orthogonal CSK/CDMA system at any Eb/N0. We conclude that the nonorthogonal CSK/CDMA system with received-power adaptive access control scheme is expected to be effective in advanced wireless networks.

In this paper, the optimum combination of optical pseudo-noise (PN) code and modulation scheme to achieve high total data transmission rate is presented. Moreover, the bit error rate (BER) performance of a wireless OCDMA system using chip-level detection is evaluated through theoretical analysis in the multi-user case. It is shown that, in a wireless OCDMA system with chip-level detection, the total data transmission rate of a multi-pulse pulse position modulation (MPPM) systems with optical pseudo-noise code generated by an M-sequence is better than that of an MPPM system with optical orthogonal code and that of an MPPM system with an extended prime code sequence. Moreover, the total data transmission rate of an MPPM/SIK system using modified pseudo orthogonal M-sequence sets can achieve more than 1.0 [bit/chip].

A code shift keying (CSK) using pseudo-noise (PN) codes for optical wireless communications with intensity/modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) is considered. Since CSK has several PN codes, the data transmission rate and the bit error rate (BER) performance can be improved by increasing the number of PN codes. However, the conventional optical PN codes are not suitable for optical CSK with IM/DD because the ratio of the number of PN codes and the code length of PN code, M/L is smaller than 1/√L. In this paper, an optical CSK with a new PN code, which combines the generalized modified prime sequence code (GMPSC) and Hadamard code is analyzed. The new PN code can achieve M/L=1. Moreover, the BER performance and the data transmission rate of the CSK system with the new PN code are evaluated through theoretical analysis by taking the scintillation, background-noise, avalanche photodiode (APD) noise, thermal noise, and signal dependent noise into account. It is found that the CSK system with the new PN code outperforms the conventional optical CSK system.

In this paper, the low density generator matrix (LDGM) coded scheme with unequal transmission power allocation (UTPA) in optical wireless channel is evaluated by computer simulation. In particular, the bit error rate performance of the LDGM-coded binary pulse position modulation (LDGM-BPPM) with the UTPA scheme is investigated in the presence of avalanche photo diode (APD) noise, scintillation and background noise. Consequently, the BER performance of the LDGM-BPPM with UTPA is better than that of the conventional LDGM-BPPM. It is found that there is the optimum power ratio (R). The optimum R varies with scintillation and background noise. For example, when the average received laser power is -47[dBm], the variance of scintillation is 0.1, and background noise is -45[dBm], the optimum R is 3.1. Thus, the LDGM-BPPM with the UTPA scheme is superior to the conventional LDGM-BPPM system.

The objective of this paper is to propose the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) system which embeds the synchronizing signal in the information frame. In the proposed system, the frame for transmitting information is also the frame for acquiring frame timing. The data transmission rate of the proposed system is independent of the length of the synchronization signal because the proposed system does not require the synchronization frame. The data transmission rate and the synchronization performance for the proposed system are better than those of the conventional system.

In this paper, we describe a frame synchronization method for bi-orthogonal modulation systems. In bi-orthogonal modulation systems, several bi-orthogonal sequences are used for data transmission. Frame synchronization in bi-orthogonal modulation systems is difficult because transmitted sequences can change every frame. In the proposed method, each bi-orthogonal sequence consists of two different inner sequences. Each bi-orthogonal sequence has the same arrangement of two different inner sequences. A receiver can track the frame timing by observing the arrangement of inner sequences. In this paper, we analyze the bit error rate performance that takes into account the tracking performance of a system we developed based on our method. The spectral efficiency of the proposed system in code division multiple access (CDMA) systems is also investigated. As a result, we found that the proposed system is effective in synchronous CDMA systems.

In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) considering tracking performance is evaluated, by theoretical analysis and computer simulation, for a bi-orthogonal system using a synchronizing pseudo-noise (PN) sequence and co-channel interference cancellers. A system that improves on Tachikawa's system is proposed. It is found that the optimum ratio of the information signal energy to the synchronizing signal energy varies with Eb/No, and the canceller is better for small L than for large L (L = length of the sequence). Moreover, it is found that the BER considering synchronization performance improvse as the equivalent noise bandwidth Bn decreases.

In this paper, a simple frame synchronization system for M-ary Spread Spectrum (M-ary/SS) communication system is analyzed. In particular, synchronization performance, bit error rate performance, and Spread Spectrum Multiple Access (SSMA) performance are analyzed. The frame synchronization system uses the racing counters. The transmitted signal contains framing chips that are added to spreading sequences. In the receiver, the framing chips are detected from several frames. The authors have proposed the simple frame synchronization system that detects framing chips from consecutive 2 frames. In this system, as the number of framing chips increases, synchronization performance improves and bit error rate performance degrades. In this paper a frame synchronization system that improves bit error rate performance is treated and analyzed. As the rusult, when the number of reference frames is 3, the bit error rate is much improved than the conventional system.

In this paper, a new tracking method for Code Shift Keying Spread Spectrum (CSK/SS) is proposed. In the CSK/SS systems, since the transmitted sequences vary at every frame, synchronization is difficult. In the proposed method, a pair consists of the Manchester-coded PN sequence and the non-Manchester-coded PN sequence as the synchronizing sequence. The cross-correlation characteristic of the pair is used instead of the S-curve of delay lock loop (DLL). The receiver can track the signal timing by using the characteristic. The proposed method is applied to the external synchronization system whose structure is simple. The following performance in channel with the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is analyzed and evaluated; (1) the tracking error (jitter) performance and (2) the bit error rate (BER) performance that takes the jitter into account. As a result, the jitter of the proposed system is better than those of the conventional DLL systems as Eb/N0 increases. The jitter of the proposed system has less degradation than those of the conventional systems, even if the number of users increases. Moreover, BER of the proposed system is similar to that of the 1Δ-DLL system and superior to that of the 2Δ-DLL system.
