| Abstract | This study presents arr investigation into the performance of Code-Division Multiple~
Access (CDMA) for application in an indoor radio Local Area Network (LAN). Two LAN
topologies, star and distributed, were investigated with a detailed consideration of the effect of
power control on the performance. A new mathematical model for analysing CDMA in a fading
indoor radio channel is presented. This analysis was used with actual measurement data for
different categories of indoor channel to obtain Bit Error Rates (BER) as a function of system
parameters. In addition to analysis, a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) simulation was
implemented and results obtained were found to agree well with the analysis. Finally, an
investigation into selection diversity as a means of enhancing the CDMA performance in an
indoor fading radio channel was carried out. It is shown that selection diversity significantly
enhances the system performance. |
