Comparison of two Strategies for Serial Acquisition of CDMA
Mohiedin Wainakh · 2006
Spread spectrum code division multiple access (CDMA) is rapidly becoming the most commonly used pseudorandom modulation technique for mobile communication systems wideband CDMA-WCDMA, CDMA 2000...etc. The most important problem with the communication is the reliable synchronization of transmitter and receiver. This is typically achieved in two phases: acquisition (coarse synchronization) and tracking (fine synchronization) from the work of C.A. Putnam and S.S. Rappaport (1983). In this paper we analysis two strategies and analytically obtained: the lock probability, the mean dwell time, the mean acquisition time and the mean hold time, for both strategies
