Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of chip waveform shaping on multiple access interference (MAI) in band-limited direct sequence code-division multiple access (DS-CDAM) systems. In particular, it concentrates on the family of band-limited waveforms with zero interchip interference (ICI) and with arbitrary excess bandwidth β in the range 0 ≤ β ≤ 1. A criterion for the performance comparison of various band-limited chip waveforms based on the elementary density function is introduced. The comparison is made among different chip waveforms, including the optimal chip waveform, the square-root raised cosine proposed for 3G wireless systems and the previously proposed "better than Nyquist" pulse. Finally, the effect of varying the roll-off factor of a band-limited chip waveform on the MAI level is also investigated.
