2.5.2 Physical layer Multiuser Signaling Schemes<br />

Traditional cellular networks which primarily support voice tend to also build multiple<br />

access capabilities in the physical layer signaling. Next generation wideb<strong>and</strong><br />

networks tend to uses a variation of CDMA or OFDM, which are described next.<br />

2.5.2.1 Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access DS-CDMA<br />

In a direct sequence CDMA system, all users use the same frequency <strong>and</strong> time to<br />

communicate. User separation is achieved by modulating the bits of each user with<br />

a distinct spreading sequence. By a careful selection of these spreading sequences, it<br />

is possible to recover the bits of each user from a linear combination of their transmit<br />

sequences. In many systems, these spreading codes are generated to form an<br />

orthonormal set. Although we only discus uplink communications in this section,<br />

CDMA can also be used in downlink channels. The CDMA2000 st<strong>and</strong>ard specified<br />

by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is based on DS-CDMA<br />

technology.<br />

time, their signals collide at node A.
