Abstract :
The effect of the maximum asynchronous arrival time difference (AATD) of the delayed multipath components on the uplink performance of synchronous DS-CDMA systems is investigated, when communicating in a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. Numerical results demonstrate that the achievable user capacity gain may be as high as 64% at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-2, when the maximum AATD is sufficiently low.
