Performance Analysis of Spread Spectrum Codes For Multimedia Data Transmission

Spread spectrum technology has become fundamental in wireless systems, from cellular to wireless LANs. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum significantly improves protection against interference by spreading a signal's energy over a bandwidth 100 times the information bandwidth, making it less detectable. It also provides security if the code is unknown. DSSS was first used by the military in the 1940s and can be used for multiple access through different spreading codes, known as CDMA. While DSSS provides 11 Mbps capacity, it is sensitive to factors like multipath; FHSS provides more robust 3 Mbps links suitable for large, noisy areas through frequency hopping.

DATA  TRANSMISSION 

Spread spectrum technology has blossomed from a military technology into one of fundamental
building blocks in current and next-generation wireless systems. From cellular to cordless to
wireless LAN (WLAN) systems, spectrum is a vital component in the system design process
Spread-spectrum signals are hard to detect on narrow band equipment because the signal's
energy is spread over a bandwidth of maybe 100 times the information bandwidth.

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum DSSS significantly improves protection against interfering (or
jamming) signals, especially narrowband and makes the signal less noticeable. It also provides
security of transmission if the code is not known to the public. These reasons make DSSS very
popular by the military. In fact, DSSS was first used in the 1940s by the military. DSSS can also
be used as a multiple access technique, whereby several different pseudo random spreading
codes are being used simultaneously. This multiple access technique is better known as Direct
Sequence CDMA.

DSSS provides 11 Mbps capacity links, but it is a sensitive technology (collocation, multipath,
near/far, Bluetooth). The most limiting factor, multipath, may be minimized by using the
technology for short distances or in point to point applications. FHSS[5] provides only 3 Mbps
capacity links, but it is a very robust technology, with excellent behavior in harsh environment
characterized by large areas of coverage, multiple collocated cells, noises, multipath, Bluetooth
presence, etc. The technology allows easy cellular point- to multipoint deployment, providing
excellent reliability.
