Modeling of code acquisition process in CDMA networks-quasi-synchronous systems

We present a model of serial code acquisition process in code-division multiple-access networks. The difference between this model and the existing work is in using the assumption that in each cell of delay uncertainty region the probability of false alarm, is different. This is caused by the fact that in each cell cross correlations between the local code and the codes used by the other users in the network are different. A closed-form expression for the average acquisition time is derived and discussed.
