| Term | Description |
| DSSS | DSSS (direct-sequence spread spectrum) is a modulation technology used in wireless network transmissions. DSSS is used as a kind of radio transmission that distributes the signal over many frequencies. DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern (chipping code) for every bit of data to be transmitted. Data is then combined with the chipping code according to some spreading ratio. This chipping code allows for recovering lost data without retransmissions. DSSS improves pricacy, increases the signal's resistance to narrowband interference, and provides data redundancy. See also: FHSS |
