Abstract
Under the direction of Dr. Ernest L. Walker, professor of electrical engineering at Southern University and A & M College, Baton Rouge, LA, the author conducted research under the DOE-NNSA Dr. Samuel P. Massie Chair of Excellence grant, and the AFRL grant. Under these grants the author research information on Code-Division Multiple Access (CDMA) sequence for Ad hoc Wireless Sensing Networks (AWSN). The focus of this research was to simulate and analyzing CDMA code sets known as the zero-correlation zone (ZCZ) coding, and how its usage reduces multiple access interference (MAI), and the effects of the near far problem. ZCZ coding is a fairly new coding method and not a lot of analysis tools were available for the research. This presented a problem; without the proper analysis tools it was difficult to perform the desired analysis on the code. Using MATLAB and its Graphic User Interface Development Environment (GUIDE) the author designed a program that simulated and analyzed ZCZ codes with various seeds, and this is what this thesis will cover.
