Both m-sequences and Gold sequences have been applied as the pseudonoise (PN) code in the code division multiple access (CDMA) scheme to enable distinct users to simultaneously share the available capacity of a common channel, which is called direct sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA). However, this scheme does not provide the required ideal periodic cross-correlation function property among various members of sequences within the same set. This paper proposes a new perfect Gaussian integer sequence (PGIS)-based CDMA scheme called PGIS-CDMA; in this scheme, the PN code of DS-CDMA is replaced by a set of PGISs. The intrinsic orthogonal property of PGIS can be applied to a CDMA system to achieve perfect cochannel interference separability under the ideal synchronism; it can also be adapted at the receiver to obtain diversity gain and improve the carry-to-interference ratio. These two concepts are further developed to implement two PGIS-CDMA configurations, and they can outperform DS-CDMA on the basis of Gold sequences that possess a favorable cross-correlation property for the CDMA scheme.
