Cooperative Self Encoded Spread Spectrum in Fading Channels

Self-encoded spread spectrum (SESS) is a unique realization of random spread spectrum. SESS eliminates the need for the traditional transmitting and receiving PN code generators. Instead, the time varying, random spreading sequence is obtained from the data source. Cooperative diversity (CD) has been attracting increas-ing attention as a novel and promising diversity technique. This paper analyzes the cooperative SESS for Amplify and Forward CD links in Rayleigh channels. The results show that our cooperative SESS improves the system performance significantly over MRC-based cooperative systems.
