Abstract

Code division multiple access (CDMA) is an asynchronous, random access protocol. In conventional time-domain CDMAs, each data bit is encoded into a waveform which corresponds to a signature code sequence [1], [2]. We have proposed and experimentally demonstrated a space-CDMA for parallel transmission aiming at the applications to future high-throughput 2-D parallel data links connecting massively parallel processors of a number of data bits regularly aligned on two-dimensional (2-D) grids, so-called bit-planes [3], [4].
