Receiver simplification in synchronous communication systems: Simulation study

This paper presents a simulation study for code-division multiplex system over time varying channels. The scheme investigated here uses a precoding technique in the transmitter depending on the channel information, so that no need for any signal processing in the receiver rather than testing against a certain threshold. This coding technique minimizes the effect of intersymbol interference (ISI). The data itself is transmitted in the form of blocks of data symbols separated by blocks of no signal. The appropriate length of each data block depends on the channel parameters expected and the allowed complexity. The impulse response is required to be known at the transmitter which is the requirement for all systems that employ coding at the transmitter.
