 Abstract

The most important goal of spreading spectrum communication system is to protect

communication signals against interference and exploitation of information by unintended
listeners. In fact, low probability of detection and low probability of intercept are two important
parameters to increase the performance of the system. In Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple
Access (DS-CDMA) systems, these properties are achieved by multiplying the data information in
spreading sequences. Proper correlation function and more freedom of choice of appropriate
codeswith chaotic sequences results in numerous applications for constructing spreading codes. In
this paper, use of two-dimensional Bernoulli chaotic sequences is proposed as spreading codes.
The performance of a multi-user DS-CDMA system will be evaluated by applying these sequences
under Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN), Rayleigh fading channel and Multiple access
interference model. Simulation results indicate improvement of the performance in comparison
with conventional spreading codes like Gold codes as well as similar complex chaotic spreading
sequences. Besides, error control coding using turbo coders gives significant improvement in
performance of the system. Turbo coding is most popular technique for error control.
