In this paper, we first analysed the ability of DSSS resistance against noises, which are main interferences to the four types in power line communications. Based on the characteristic of these noises, we made a noise source of power line which is similar with the result measured, in practice. We simulated and analysed the BER performance of BPSK with DSSS over this noise model and one without the DSSS, for comparison. Result showed that the BPSK with DSSS system has improved by 8 dB, as compared to those without the DSSS, as against power line noises.

In this paper, an advanced ZigBee (AZB) system for internet-of-things (IoT) applications is proposed which can support various data rates from 31.25 Kbps to 2 Mbps, and the implementation results of the AZB baseband processor are presented. Repetition coding for 32-chip direct-sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) symbol is applied for low rates under 250 Kbps to extend the coverage. Convolution coding, puncturing, and interleaving for non-DSSS symbol are performed for high rates from 500 Kbps to 2 Mbps for multi-media services. Simulation results show that the coverage increases at the rate of 51.8-77.3% for various environments compared with IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee. AZB baseband processor was implemented in 180 nm CMOS process and total gate counts are 260K with the size of $5.8mm^2$.

In this Paper, the matched filter for searching initial synchronization in DSSS (direct sequence spread spectrum) receiver is studied. The matched filter with a single data flow path is described which can be presented by HDL (Hardware Description Language). In order to improve the processing time of operations for the filter, equations are arranged to represent two data flow paths and the associated hardware model is proposed. The model has an architecture based on parallelism and pipeline for fast processing, in which two data flow paths with a series of memory, multiplier and accumulator are placed in parallel. The performance of the model is analyzed and compared with the matched filter with a single data flow path.

The pattern recognition of automobile and parking line for the automatic car parking system was processed based on statistical method for reducing the processing time. The command of driving for parking at the vacant parking lot was transmitted from processor to motor driven actuator using direct sequence spread spectrum communication, which enables the multiple transmission in CAN(controller area network). The test-bed which has CCD camera, processor, radio transceiver and FPGA was implemented and demonstrated to be operated well.

Covertness and performance are very important design goals in the underwater communications. To satisfy both of them, we proposed efficient underwater communication model which combined multiband and direct sequence spread spectrum method in order to improve performance and covertness simultaneously. Turbo coding method with 1/3 coding rates is used for channel coding algorithm, and turbo equalization method which iterately exchange probabilistic information between equalizer and decoder is used for receiver side. After optimal threshold value was set in Rake processing, this paper analyzed the performance by varying the number of chips were 8, 16, 32 and the number of bands were from 1 to 4. Through the simulation results, we confirmed that the performance improvement was obtained by increasing the number of bands and chips. 2~3 dB of performance gain was obtained when the number of chips were increased in same number of bands.

Spreading sequence play an important role in wireless communications, such as in a CDMA(code division multiple access) communication system and multi-carrier spectrum communication system. Spreading sequences with low cross-correlation, in a direct-sequence spread spectrum communication system, help to minimize multiple access interference and to increase security degree of system. Analysis of cross-correlations between the sequences is a necessary process to design sequences. However it require lots of computing time for analysis of cross-correlations between sequences. In this paper we propose a method which is possible to compute effectively cross-correlation using subfield in the process of practical computation of cross-correlation between nonlinear binary sequences.

This paper proposes a novel non-coherent TOA estimation scheme using multiple correlation process on the existence of multiple simultaneously operating piconets (SOPs). Impulse radio-ultra wideband (IR-UWB) based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) using Gold sequence is employed in order to discriminate each piconet. In order to enhance the characteristic of correlation, this paper presents the method of multiple mask operation (MMO). The time of arrival (TOA) of direct line of sight (DLOS) path is estimated via two step coarse/fine timing detection. To verify the performance of proposed scheme, two distinct channel models approved by IEEE 802.15.4a Task Group (TG) are considered. According to the simulation results, it could conclude that the proposed scheme have performed better performance than the conventional method well even in densed indoor multi-path environment as well as in the existence of multiple SOPs.

In this paper, we propose the trellis coded spread spectrum communication system with one channel signal selection of the subset by the PN code. This paper proposes the Viterbi decoder that have the squared Euclidean distance of the order phase difference as well as 1st order phase difference as the branch metrics by using the multiple symbol detection method. TCM method was developed to overcome limited power and bandwidth efficiently in digital communication. we multiply one of convolution code's output data to PN code for applying TCM to the spread spectrum. We investigated the performance of the direct sequence/spread spectrum communication system with trellis coded modulation. In this system, we could improved the coding gain in the spread spectrum.

It is well know that in the wireless communication systems the transmitted signals can suffer from multipath fading due to the wave propagation characteristics and the obstacles over the paths, resulting in serious reduction in the power of the received signals. However, it is possible to take advantage of the inherent diversity imposed in the multipath reception if the underlying channel can be properly estimated. One of the diversity reception methods in this case is Rake processing. In this paper we study the Rake receivers for the direct-sequence spread-spectrum communication systems utilizing PN (pseudo noise) sequences to achieve spread spectrum. A conventional Rake receiver can use the finite-duration impulse (FIR) filter followed by the PN sequence demodulator, where the FIR filter coefficients are the reverse-ordered complex conjugate values of the fading channel impulse response estimates. Here, we propose a new Rake processing method by replacing the aforementioned PN code sequence with a new set of optimum demodulator coefficients. More specifically, the concept of the new optimum Rake processing is first introduced and then the optimum demodulator coefficients are theoretically derived. The performance obtained using the new optimum Rake processing is also calculated. The analytical results are verified by computer simulation. As a result, it is shown that the new optimum Rake processing method improves the MSE performance more than 10 dB over the conventional one using the fixed PN sequence demodulator. It is also shown that the new optimum Rake processing method improves the MSE performance about 10 dB over the Adaptive Correlator that performs the combining of the multipath components and PN demodulation concurrently. And finally, the MSE performance of the optimum Rake demodulator is very close to the MSE performance of OPSK demodulator under the AWGN channel.

Ultra wideband (UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geolocation, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional mobile wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as WCDMA system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely a direct-sequence spread-spectrum UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a WCDMA digital transmission system. The average frame error rate degradations are presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with WCDMA terminal without causing any dangerous interference.
