Abstract

Summary In this paper we present the performance of two uplink/downlink DS-CDMA receivers in a Nakagami wideband channel. Two detection methods were considered; namely, coherent and differential detection RAKE receivers based on maximal ratio combining technique. We consider a new physical interpretation of the Nakagami channel and the instantaneous power of the multiple access interferers. In comparison with the previous researches in the literature, which are based on Gaussian approximation, this approach results in a more accurate solution for the problem. We analyzed and derived closed form formulae for probability of bit error for DS-CDMA cellular radio system in the Nakagami wideband channel. We presented a set of numerical results for coherent downlink receivers.
