Abstract

In this paper the performance of multilevel trellis-coded modulations (MTCMs) for satellite mobile multimedia systems using synchronous CDMA is investigated. A model for the multiple-access interference arising from the non-orthogonality of the spreading waveforms is developed for different modulation and spreading schemes and transmission over the mobile satellite channel. Using this model, the performance of MTCMs for synchronous CDMA is analysed and compared with the Ungerboeck and Schegel-Costello trellis-coded modulation (TCM) designs. The impact on the transmission of synchronization errors between the different users is presented and the power control requirements are derived.
