A wireless communications system with a transmission speed of 18 Mbit/s is presented using the 2.4 GHz ISM band. This system employs the Carrier Frequency Offset-Spread Spectrum (CFO-SS) scheme and the Dual-Polarization Staggered Transmission (DPST) scheme. The 18 Mbit/s CFO-SS system (named CFO-SS18) was developed and its performance evaluated in fields. In this paper, the detailed operating principle of CFO-SS and DPST schemes, together with the specifications and structures of CFO-SS18, are presented. Results of indoor and field tests obtained by using CFO-SS18 are also presented.

We have proposed an intracell uplink of a spread-spectrum code-division multiple-access (SS-CDMA) flexible wireless network based on approximately synchronized (AS) CDMA. Since the AS-CDMA has no co-channel interference, complicated transmission power control (TPC) is not required. A modem of the AS-CDMA has been designed and implemented for the Japanese 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band. Using the implemented modem, the degradation of Eb/N0 from the theoretical limit is 1.0 dB at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-3. Under 2-user environment, the degradation of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) is 0.5 dB at a BER of 10-3 when the desired-to-undesired signal ratio (DUR) is -20.3 dB. We have evaluated BER performances in cases of varying carrier frequency offset and median DUR with computer simulation. Under 8-user environment, at the carrier frequency offset of 0.3 ppm, the BER with the DUR of -16 dB is found to be 10-3. Using the AS-CDMA with a 4-step open-loop TPC technique, the design of intracell uplink is available.

Design of wireless communications systems with a transmission rate of 6 and 10 Mbit/s is presented for the 2.4 GHz Japanese ISM band, in which a spread spectrum technique named "CFO-SS (Carrier Frequency Offset-Spread Spectrum)" scheme is employed. In the CFO-SS system, a single PN code is commonly assigned to all the synchronized multiplexed carriers, and the frequency separation between carriers is determined by the transmission rate of each carrier. To realize the CFO-SS system, a timing acquisition and tracking scheme, an important part of the design, is presented first. Next, bit and packet error performance is investigated under severe multipath environments with/without a RAKE receiver. Degradation by channel bandwidth limitations, frequency inaccuracy of the hardware and co-channel interference (CCI) is also investigated by computer simulation. Simulation results presented confirmed sufficient performance of the CFO-SS system for wireless LAN systems using the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

A wireless communications system with a transmission rate of 10 Mbit/s using Japanese ISM band (2471-2497 MHz) is presented. This system employs a novel spread spectrum multiple access method named "CFO-SS (Carrier Frequency Offset-Spread Spectrum)" method. In the CFO-SS system, a single PN code is commonly assigned to all the multiple carriers, and the frequency offset between the carriers is determined by the information symbol rate, which is small as compared with the spread bandwidth of the signal. Bit error rate performance of the proposed CFO-SS system under multipath environments is investigated by computer simulation, and the performance of the CFO-SS method is confirmed for wireless LAN systems using the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
