An Analysis of a Broadband Multicarrier CDMA Cellular Communications System
Abstract
The integration of land, sea, and air forces within the littoral environment will require fading resistant, high data rate, non-exploitable communications. The large volumes of video and data information, i.e. Internet access, video teleconferencing and data transfer, required to support the war fighter within a Joint Task Force demands technologies that reduce the interference imposed by poor terrestrial and atmospheric conditions. In order to minimize the effect of frequency selective fading that occurs in these conditions and to provide high data rate communications, this thesis presents the analysis of a broadband cellular system featuring a multicarrier, code division multiple access (CDMA) method. The system designed complies with Federal Communication Commission broadband cellular standards and uses CDMA to reduce the probabilities of detection and interception as well as providing for multiple access, which in conjunction with the multicarrier approach enables on demand access to high data rate communications.
