cn ch2 55
CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access• Allow each station to transmit over entire frequency spectrum all the time.
• Multiple simultaneous transmissions are separated using coding theory.
• Colliding frames may not be totally garbled.There are techniques to separate signals sent by different senders.
• Similar to a party where different conversations use different language.Extract desired signal and reject others as random noises.
• Each bit time is subdivided into m short intervals called chips, typically 64-128 chips per bit.
• Each station is assigned a unique m-bit code or chip sequence.
• To send a bit 1, a station sends its chip sequence.
• To send a bit 0, a station sends the complement of its chip sequence.
• For m=8, A is assigned 00011011. A sends 00011011 as bit 1, and 11100100 as bit 0.
cn ch2 56
Simple Analysis of CDMA• Assume 1 MHz band for 100 stations
• Use FDM, one station has 10kHz and 10 kbps (assume 1 bit per Hz)
• Use CDMA, one station has 1MHz, and 1Mchips per seconds.
• If CDMA uses less than 100 chips per bit then CDMA will be more efficient.
cn ch2 57
CDMA Coding Theory•Let’s use bipolar notation +1 for binary 1 (chip signal), -1 for binary 0.•A bit1, A send 00011011 or (-1 -1 -1 +1 +1 -1 +1 +1).•Let S be the m-chip vector for station s and for its negation.•Two chip sequence S and T are orthogonal if S•T=0.
• if S•T=0 then S• =0
• • All chip sequences must be pariwise orthogonal.• S• =-1• CDMA Example• Let S=A+ +C, S•C=(A+ +C)•C=A•C+ •C+C•C=0+0+1=1

cn ch2 62
Power Control/Assignment• For the CDMA to work, the power levels of signals from all stations should be the same (or
within certain tolerance level) when received by the receiver.• A good heuristic: Each mobile station sends signal with the power level inverse of that received
from the base station.• The base station can tell mobile station to increase/decrease its power.
