Performance Analysis of Anti-CW Interference in MC-CDMA Systems

The multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA),which is the combination of direct sequence CDMA (DS-CDMA) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) techniques, offers various advantages over single-carrier CDMA system. Some of the advantages are that MC-CDMA systems possess can remove the intersymbol interference (ISI) and enhance narrow-band interference suppression capabilities. So the MC-CDMA technique becomes a focus in the field of mobile communication. The authors introduce the typical MC-CDMA system model, discuss the decision statisticalvariable in Rayleigh fading channel included the CW interference, and give the expressions of probability of error in uplink. An approach is proposed with Modified Equal Gain Combining (MEGC) to decrease the effect of CW interference. Theoretical analysis and numerical results show that the anti-CW interference performance of MC-CDMA system can be improved used the MEGC approach.     

A Subchannel Allocation Policy of Multicarrier CDMA

To attain high rate data and high quality of service in wireless communication, a subchannel allocation policy combined with subcarriers and power allocation is proposed. In the proposed system, instead of identical power over the subcarriers in parallel, each user's DS waveform is transmitted over the subchannels that have large fading amplitude among all the subchannels. The powers of the subcarriers with small fading amplitude are allocated to the subcarriers with large ones. It can effectively suppress multiple-access interference while obtaining diversity gains. The allocation policy based on fading amplitudes has the advantages of low computation and good convergence compared with the policy proposed in other papers. Thus, it is suitable for engineering.
