The effect of fading on the capacity of a CDMA channel

Code division multiple access is a technique in which several users access a common medium, by modulating their symbols with designed spreading sequences. This article analyzes a model for the Gaussian multiple access channel, with discrete input and continuous output, that uses spread spectrum techniques. The effect of Rayleigh fading on the capacity of the channel is investigated.
