Glossary:

FDMA: In Frequency Division Multiple Access, each user is given a particular frequency which he can use at all times. Hence this technique requires very good filtering abilities and interference will be high if users are high.

· TDMA: In Time Division Multiple Access, the entire bandwidth is available for use but only at particular times for one user. Therefore this demands high degree of synchronization between the users.

· Auto-correlation: The auto-correlation for a periodic signal of period T is defined as follow:

It defines how much a function correlates with a time shifted version of itself, with respect to that time shift.

· Cross-correlation The cross-correlation for periodic signals of period T is defined as:

It measures how much two different signals, Wi and Wj, one shifted in time with respect to the other, correlate as a function of that time shift.
