A slotted ALOHA direct sequence spread spectrum system with random signatures is considered. The system is applicable in cases where a large number of terminals transmit to a single hub station like in cellular digital radio, personal mobile systems and wireless LANs. It is shown that significant improvements in packet throughput capacity are obtained if the adaptive receiver structures are used. Systems for the comparison are the spread spectrum slotted ALOHA system and the conventional slotted ALOHA system.
Indoor radio communications is an important component of the emerging personal communication systems service. It is also the basis for wireless local area networks. The indoor radio channel is characterized by fading multipaths as well as noise. Direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), with its inherent resistance to multipath interference is an attractive technique for this environment. To allow multiple users within the limited bandwidths available, code division multiple access is needed. This paper analyzes the performance of a DSSS scheme employing random orthogonal codes over fading multipath indoor radio channels using actual channel measurements from five different locations. A RAKE receiver is used to study the effects of power control, code length and receiver structure. The average probability of error as a function of signal-to-noise ratio or as a function of the number of simultaneous transmitters is used as the performance criteria.

We propose Polarization-Shift-Keying (POLSK) homodyne system using phase-diversity receivers and theoretically analyze its bit-error-rate (BER) performance. Since the proposed system uses polarization modulation and homodyne detection, it can cancel the phase noise and is attractive at a high bit-rate transmission. It is found that the receiver sensitivity of the proposed POLSK homodyne system is the same as that of POLSK heterodyne system and is much better than that of DPSK phase-diversity homodyne systems at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We also cosider theoretically the effect of the fluctuation of state of polarization (SOP) on the BER performance of POLSK homodyne system.
