Abstract

Code division multiple access is a technique in which several users access a common medium, by modulating their symbols with designed spreading sequences. This article describes and analyzes a model for the discrete-input continuous-output Gaussian multiple access channel, that uses spread spectrum techniques. The relationship between the capacity of such system and the associated probability of error is also presented
