A multicode transmission (MC) system can transmit multiple data streams at one time. However, the amplitude of the transmission signal has sharp fluctuations. To avoid this problem, constant amplitude (CA) signaling schemes were studied, and some MC systems were developed such as the MC system with CA signaling (MC-CA) and the parallel combinatory MC system with CA signaling (PCMC-CA). In this paper, extension systems of PCMC-CA system are developed. In particular, two demodulation methods are discussed for the extension systems. Then, the bit error rate (BER) and data transmission rate are theoretically analyzed. The results shows that the extension systems has a better performance than the MC-CA system in both of the BER and data transmission rate.
In this paper, a parallel combinatory spread spectrum (PC/SS) system using a constant amplitude signaling scheme is proposed. The amplitude of the transmitted signal from multicode transmission systems such as PC/SS systems have a large dynamic range which requires that amplifiers have a wide linearity in the transmitter. From a view point of power efficiency, however, it is reasonable to use non-linear amplifiers rather than linear ones. In that case, the bit error rate performance must degrade because of non-linear distortion. The proposed system can avoid influence of the non-linear amplifiers by making the transmitted signal have a constant amplitude. The bit error rate performance and the data transmission rate performance are investigated. They prove that the proposed system is an attractive candidate among the constant amplitude signaling systems.

In this letter, we present a method to generate sets of sequences suitable for multicode transmission in quasi-synchronous (QS) CDMA systems. We focus on Gold code but extension to orthogonal Gold code is straightforward. We show that by appropriate classification of sequences, it is possible to have sets whose cross correlation is small in QS situations.

It is well known that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiated from industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus seriously degrades the performance of wireless communication systems. In this paper, an ISM-band wireless local area network (WLAN) which employs a direct sequence-spread spectrum (DS-SS) system is designed to be sufficiently robust and reliable to operate in the presence of this EMI. To satisfy this goal, a technique to suppress EMI in the DS-SS system using a multicode transmission and an EMI observation channel is proposed. In the study, the EMI radiated from switching-type microwave ovens (MWO interference) which are ISM apparatus is concerned, and for a tractable investigation, a statistical model to represent MWO interference based on experimental measurement results is employed. As well known that MWO interference exhibits a bursty impulsive characteristic in time, a technique to transmit multiple long spreading codes (multicode transmission) is introduced for the DS-SS system to overcome the burstness of the interference. Moreover, inspired by the broadband in frequency of MWO interference, a technique to estimate the channel MWO interference by means of observing its levels in an adjacent channel is proposed, and this technique is applied to construct a multicode DS-SS receiver which can suppress the channel MWO interference. An evaluation of the bit error rate performance of the proposed multicode DS-SS system is conducted by computer simulation, and the numerical results demonstrate that the proposed DS-SS system can operate effectively even in the presence of MWO interference.
One way of accommodating multimedia traffic having various transmission rates is to use multicode transmission in CDMA cellular systems. A multicode user, however, corresponds to locally concentrated single-code users, and the simultaneous transmission of multiple signals causes non-uniform traffic on cellular systems. We evaluate the performance of multicode transmission in CDMA systems in terms of call blocking and communications quality. We also estimate the number of receivers and searchers needed in a base station. Our previously proposed dynamic cell configuration (DCC) scheme reduces the adverse effects of non-uniform traffic in CDMA systems. In the present study, we found that the use of DCC for voice/data integrated traffic using multicode transmission reduces call blocking and improves communications quality for both voice and data users.

Experimental results of 1. 92 Mbps data transmission over a 20 MHz wideband DS-CDMA (W-CDMA) mobile radio link under frequency selective multipath fading are presented. 1. 92 Mbps data were transmitted using an orthogonal multicode transmission scheme. The combined use of antenna diversity reception, RAKE combining, and concatenated channel coding is applied to improve transmission performance. Laboratory and field experimental results demonstrated the possibility of 2 Mbps data transmission in a real fading environment.

Direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) is a promising candidate for 3rd generation mobile communications systems. We recently proposed a coherent multicode DS-CDMA (CM-CDMA) scheme that uses pilot symbol-aided coherent RAKE, interference power measurement based transmit power control, orthogonal multicode transmission, and concatenated channel coding. We have implemented a CM-CDMA test-bed for a series of laboratory and field tests using the 2 GHz band. This paper describes the test-bed system and experimental results are presented. It is confirmed that pilot symbol-aided coherent RAKE can reduce the required signal energy per bit-to-interference plus background noise spectrum density ratio (Eb/Io) by 2-3 dB from that achievable with differential detection. Also shown is that by using both RAKE combining and SIR-based power control the transmit power of mobile stations can be significantly reduced. Measurement results show that the required Eb/Io degrades only slightly when 24 code-channels (768 kbps) are used since orthogonal Gold sequences are used as short spreading codes.
