Abstract
This paper considers the choice of optimal codes for code division multiple access in direct sequence spread spectrum systems. In particular it questions the frequently-made assumption that codes with bounded maximum correlation, such as Gold codes and Kasami sequences, are always best in this application. The paper considers in addition to the maximum correlation the mean square correlation for various code sets, and shows that this parameter is nearly the same for all code sets considered. The performance of spread spectrum multiple access systems is then discussed, especially in terms of the signal to interference ratio, and it is shown, contrary to the original assumption, that for moderately large code lengths, the use of bounded correlation code sets does not give any increase in the maximum possible number of users.
