MULTI-USER RECEIVERS FOR SPREAD SPECTRUM COMMUNICATIONS BASED ON CHAOTIC SEQUENCES
Abstract
Spread spectrum based on chaotic sequences is an alternative to spread spectrum based on pseudo-noise sequences. In this letter we present the application of two multi-user detection methods (parallel and successive interference cancellation schemes) to this type of code division multiple access. We demonstrate that, also for chaotic sequence-based communications, multi-user receivers significantly improve the BER with respect to single-user receivers, and that their use is practically essential with a high number of users.
