Error probabilities for generalized quadriphase DS/SSMA communication systems with random signature sequences
Tat-Ming Lok, J.S. Lehnert · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1996
Methods to determine the average error probabilities in quadriphase direct-sequence spread spectrum multiple-access (DS/SSMA) communication systems are proposed. The systems being considered employ random signature sequences and arbitrary chip waveforms that are time-limited to one chip interval. The methods range from an algorithm that determines upper and lower bounds with arbitrary accuracy, to simple formulas that provide accurate estimates efficiently. Each method will find applications in different areas. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate each of the methods.
