Exact bit error probability with application to spread-spectrum multiple access communications
Abstract
A method for evaluating the average bit error probability in spread-spectrum multiple-access communication systems is expounded. Various forms of direct-sequence spread-spectrum modulation are considered including binary phase-shift keying, quadriphase-shift keying, and minimum shift keying. Unlike other methods, the analysis of the multiple-access interference does not entail the second-moment characterization alone, but uses a number of moments sufficient to evaluate the error probability with a high degree of accuracy. The transformation from the moments to the average bit error probability is carried out by means of Gauss-type numerical integration formulas. Finally, some results and comparisons are reported.
