A survey of two kinds of complementary coded CDMA wireless communications

Abstract

In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of existing literature in the area of complementary coded CDMA (CC-CDMA) technique for wireless communications to provide an introduction and overview to the field. According to the kinds of independent sub-channels, we divide the existing CC-CDMA solutions into two categories: time division multiplex (TDM) and frequency division multiplex (FDM) CC-CDMA systems. Then we compared them in terms of resistance of multiuser interference and multi-path interference, implementation complexity and spread and spectrum efficiency.
