Abstract: | A spread-spectrum multiple-access (SSMA) communication system is treated for which both spreading and error control is provided by binary PSK modulation with orthogonal convolution codes. Performance of spread-spectrum multiple access by a large number of users employing this type of coded modulation is determined in the presence of background Gaussian noise. With this approach and coordinated processing at a common receiver, it is shown that the aggregate data rate of all simultaneous users can approach the Shannon capacity of the Gaussian noise channel |
