<em>Scrambling Techniques for CDMA Communications</em> addresses spreading, scrambling, and synchronization techniques for use in inter-cell synchronous and asynchronous CDMA systems, including the IMT-2000. It provides fundamental background material for sequences and shift register generators, and demonstrates various acquisition techniques in primitive, advanced levels, and in the third generation (3G) DS/CDMA cellular systems. In addition, it introduces the novel acquisition techniques DSA (Distributed Sample Acquisition) and CDMA (Correlation-aided DSA) that enable rapid and robust acquisition of inter-cell synchronous and asynchronous IMT-2000 CDMA systems. <em>Scrambling Techniques for CDMA Communications</em> will be invaluable to wireless communication engineers, and in particular those involved in theoretical and design works related to spreading, scrambling, and synchronization of CDMA communication systems.
