Self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) is a novel modulation technique that acquires its spreading sequence from the random input data stream rather than using the traditional pseudo-random-code generators. It has been shown that the memory in SESS can improve the system performance significantly in fading channel. In this study the authors analyse the tracking error of SESS system in the presence of multipath Rayleigh fading channels. Code Shuffling is introduced to randomise the spreading code, which in turn mitigates the effect of reflected path component and enhances the accuracy and performance of iterative detection (ID) against multipath effects. The performance comparison of SESS with C/A code is investigated with the main focus on short multipath delay scenarios. The results demonstrate that ID can significantly mitigate the pseudorange multipath error without any bandwidth expansion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
