Performance Analysis of MC/CDMA System with Frequency Offset
نویسندگان
چکیده
A multicarrier code division multiple access (MC/CDMA) system, which is being considered for the implementation of high data rate system in the future, offers robustness to multipath fading and high spectral efficiency. However, carrier frequency offset between the transmitter and the receiver degrades system performance. In this paper, the effects of frequency offset are theoretically analyzed and verified by computer simulations in a downlink channel. Both equal gain combining (EGC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC) are considered in combining subcarrier signals in the analysis.

Comparison of the sensitivities of MC-CDMA and MC-DS-CDMA to carrier frequency offset
In this contribution, we consider the effect of a carrier frequency offset on the performance of MC-CDMA and MC-DS-CDMA, which are both a combination of the multicarrier transmission technique and the CDMA multiple access technique. We show that both systems strongly degrade in the presence of a carrier frequency offset. Furthermore, we show that, for given spreading factor, the MC-DS-CDMA syst...

The throughput enhancement of Space-Time Spreading (STS)-based Multicarrier Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (MC DS-CDMA) system is investigated in this paper. Variable Spreading Factor (VSF) is utilized to improve the data throughput of the system. In this contribution, an analytical approach is proposed to compute a new expression for the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of t...
متن کاملThe Effect of Synchronisation Errors on MC-CDMA Performance
In this contribution, we investigate the sensitivity of MC-CDMA systems to synchronisation errors. We show that the signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) of the MC-CDMA system at the input of the decision device in the presence of a carrier frequency offset or a clock frequency offset is a rapidly decreasing function of the number of carriers. For a maximal load, carrier phase jitter and timing jitter giv...
متن کاملSensitivity of OFDM and MC-CDMA to Carrier Phase Errors
In this contribution, we investigate the effect of carrier phase errors on the performance of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA). We show that OFDM and MC-CDMA have essentially the same sensitivities to carrier phase errors. A constant carrier phase offset yields no degradation of the system performance. We show that OFDM a...
متن کاملThe Sensitivity of a Flexible Form of MC-CDMA to Synchronisation Errors
In this contribution, we propose a variant of the MC-CDMA system that offers more flexibility than the traditional MC-CDMA system. We investigate the sensitivity of this flexible MC-CDMA system to some types of synchronisation errors. This flexible MC-CDMA system is not affected by a constant phase offset or a constant timing offset, as in the proposed flexible MC-CDMA system the carriers insid...
