Abstract

Statistical mechanics-based approach to studying wireless communication systems is useful not only in analyzing theoretical performance of a given model, but also in optimizing design of a class of system models. In this paper, we demonstrate usefulness of statistical-mechanics approach in the problem of optimizing a spreading sequence set of randomly-spread code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication systems. It has been shown that the optimal spreading sequences of a randomly spread CDMA channel in the large-system limit are Welch-bound-equality sequence sets, even when a non-Gaussian input distribution is assumed.
