Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) has become one of the main candidates for the next generation of mobile land and satellite communication systems. CDMA is based on spread spectrum techniques, which have been used in military applications for over half a century. Only recently however, has it been recognized that spread spectrum techniques, combined with some additional steps, can provide higher capacity and better flexibility for the mobile cellular radio communications. This work comprises a set of contributions from distinguished world scientists in the field. These papers review the basic theory and some of the most important problems related to spread spectrum and CDMA. The topics covered centre on the information theory aspects of CDMA, interference suppression and performance analysis. The material presented in this book summarizes the main problems in modern CDMA theory and practice and gives a solid starting point for studying this complex and still challenging field. It is intended for all researchers and designers working in mobile communication systems and provides an excellent text for a course on the subject.
