Abstract
A direct-sequences code division multiple access system has been accepted as a digital cellular standard (IS-95) in North America. This digital cellular standard employs a powerful rate 1/2, constraint length 9, convolutional code in its forward link. It is well-known that in a Rayleigh fading channel the performance of a channel code depends very heavily on the interleaving depth and the relative variations of the channel characteristics. In slow fading channels, since the input symbols to the channel decoder are highly correlated, the bit-error-rate at the output of the channel decoder may be unacceptably high. Interleavers of large dimensions can reduce the correlation of the input signal to the channel decoder at the expense of an intolerable delay. In this paper we examine the performance of the IS-95 system, at the mobile receiver, for different channel fade rates.Keywords
