Abstract

The author investigates the performance of a bit-interleaved convolutionally encoded code division multiple access (CDMA) communication system with feedback power control over mobile radio channels. The analytical formulas for both optimal and suboptimal bit likelihood ratios, to be used as soft decision metrics for the decoder, are derived for noncoherent detection, with and without diversity reception. The resulting optimal bit soft decisions provide a decoded BER of 0.1% with 1.0-1.2 dB less power than that required for hard decisions in the proposed North American CDMA digital cellular system
