Evaluation of DS/SSMA: a comparison of simulation results with bit error probability bounds

In this paper, a binary direct-sequence spread-spectrum multiple-access (DS/SSMA) communication system with an additive white Gaussian noise channel and a correlation receiver are considered. The signature sequences are m-sequences or random sequences when the number of users is small and are random sequences, Gold sequences, or Kasami sequences when the number of users is large. Simulation results are obtained to verify a variety of bounds provided in other literature and to compare system performance when employing different signature sequences.<
