Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as one of the new hot topics in wireless communications. WMNs have been suggested for use in situations in which some or all of the users are mobile or are located in inaccessible environments. Unconstrained transmission in a WMN may lead to the time overlap of two or more packet receptions, called collisions or interferences, resulting in damaged useless packets at the destination. There are two types of collisions; primary collision, due to the transmission of the stations which can hear each other, and hidden terminal collision, when stations outside the hearing range of each other transmit to the same receiving stations. For a WMN, direct collisions can be minimized by short propagation and carrier sense times. Thus, in this paper we only consider hidden terminal collision while neglecting direct collisions. To reduce or eliminate hidden terminal collision, code division multiple access (CDMA) protocols have been introduced. The collision-free property is guaranteed by the use of spread spectrum communication techniques and the proper assignment of orthogonal codes. Such codes share the fixed channel capacity allocated to the network in the design stage. Thus, it is very important to minimize the number of codes while achieving a proper transmission quality level in CDMA WMNs. In this paper, an efficient heuristic code assignment algorithm for eliminating hidden terminal collision in CDMA WMNs with general topology.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of the PN code acquistion system which has some shared blocks in order to reduce the hardware complexity. The proposed system has an energy calculation block which is shared by two active correlators. Our system is designed suitable for IS-95 based CDMA PCS. The new architecture was designed and simulated using VHDL. Also, We implemented it with Altera FPGA, and verified our system. The gate count is about 7,500. Our proposed architecture is also useful for multi-carrier system which uses the multiple searcher.

This paper presents a comparative evaluation of a modified version (A-Protocol) of the Distributed-Queueing Request Update Multiple Access (DQRUMA)Multi-Code Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) protocol and an enhanced version (P-Protocol) of the DQRUMA/MC-CDMA protocol with a lattice pool for request accesses (LPRA) scheme in a packet-based voice traffic environment. Analytical results agree with the simulation ones and show that the P-Protocol outperforms the A-Protocol in terms of the packet loss rate for voice traffic.

Multiple access interference (MAI) and multi path interference(MPI) degrades the system performance in the DS-CDMA(direct-sequence code-division multiple- access)systems .0 this paper, a generalized construction method fer 2$\^$n/(n=1,2,3) phase preferred pairs(PP) with zero-correlation duration (ZCD) of (0.5N+1) chips is proposed. 2$\^$n/(n=1,2,3) phase ZCD code sets with ZCD and enlarged family sizes are generated by carrying out a chip-shift operation of the preferred pairs . The properties of the proposed codes are effective for the cancellation of MAI and MPI in DS-CDMA Systems.

The powerful benefits of multi-antenna systems can be obtained by cooperative communications among users in multiple access environments without the need for physical arrays. This paper studies a novel cooperative signaling strategy that achieves high performance and low implementation complexity for synchronous code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless mobile networks. The validity of the proposed strategy under slow flat Rayleigh fading channel plus additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) is verified through closed-form error probability expressions and MonteCarlo simulations. A variety of analytical results reveal that the new cooperative strategy significantly outperforms direct transmission subject to the same spectral efficiency and transmit power constraint.

In this paper, an improved detection method is proposed by supplementing various types of Multi-Path gam for a MMSE Multi-User detecter. This method is proposed to complement the shortcomings of the conventional detection method which is used for multiuser detection in STBC(Space-Time Block Code) CDMA system. We analyzed the improved method in bit error probability viewpoint and compared the result with that of the conventional method. In this result, we showed that the improved method obtains better performance of bit error probability than the conventional method when parameters such as delay, number of user and SNR are changed.

MAI(Multi-Access Interference) and fast channel variation due to the fading environment are the major problems in the mobile CDMA communication systems. Recently, interest has been increasing in applying the Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector to MAI cancellation in the CDMA reverse link. In this paper, we propose a modified Adaptive Linear MMSE Detector structure which can be used in Long-duration code CDMA system in the presence of independent Rayleigh fading. We use independent multiple tap-weight vector structure to cope with the variation of spreading sequence pattern between neighbor symbols because of the Long-duration code. In this case, more exact channel parameter estimation is required. To solve this problem, we use coherent CDMA structure which can track the channel parameters like amplitude and phase by employing the low power pilot channel in the CDMA reverse link.

The satellite channel with a line-of-sight signal component is modeled by a shadowed Rician fading channel. We adopt a direct-sequence / code division multiple access (DS / CDMA), which has the advantage to suppress the multipath effect and increase the user capacity. The performance which is evaluated by bit error probability is subjected to the influence of branch number, multi-user number, and spreading code-length. As the result of the analysis, performance advance is achieved with multi-user number decreasing, number of brnaches increasing, and spreading code-length increasing as chip duration is constant. To use both of diversity combining scheme and channel coding is more efficient for performance improvement than the case using diversity combining scheme only. The use of BCH coding and convolutional coding shows better consequence than Hamming coding. Totally, the performance degradation for heavy shadowing is much larger than that for light and average shadowing as heavy shadowing decreases LOS signal.

The intermodulation distortion(IMD) due to laser diode nonlinearity of an asynhcronous direct sequence code diviion multiple access(DS/CDMA) system in wireless-optical transmission system model is analzed. A third order polynomial is used to represent laser diode nonlinearity. In DS/CDMA system, only one harmonic of the third-order intermodulation term falls on the signal frequency band and influences the system performance characteristics. To cancel multi-user interference and nonlinear distortion in a DS/CDMA wireless-optical transmission system model, the simple transversal filter structure with N-taps of (N-1) tap delay of 1 chip time delay line is used. It is necessary to select an optimal modulation index that provides a maximum signal-to-noise ratio and the results are useful for CDMA system design.

Multicarrier code division multiple access(MC-CDMA) Is a scheme that combines multicarrier modulation with CDMA. It offers robustness to frequency selective fading and can support higher rate data transmission with higher spectral efficiency. The objective of this article to proposed a new asynchronous ME-CDMA system to implement multiple data rate communications. It can be accomplished by changing the number of parallel branch(.p). For the analysis of average BER performance, numerical method and computer simulation were used. After MAI power of received signal calculated, the average BER can be acriuired using Gaussian approximation to MAI. We also compare the system performance with that of a single rate MC-CDMA system.
