This paper presents an adaptive MC-CDMA transmission for downlink in mobile satellite system and simulation results on Ka-band mobile satellite channel. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme support a throughput of several tens of Mbit/s and a spectral efficiency range of 1 bit/s/Hz to 4.7 bit/s/Hz according to channel environments due to the adaptive broadband satellite transmission.

차세대 이동통신 시스템을 위해 활발히 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 OFDM과 DS-CDMA의 장점을 결합하여 심벌간 간섭과 페이딩에 강하고 IFFT/FFT를 이용하여 효과적으로 변조/복조부를 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 하지만, 송신 신호가 다중 레벨 진폭 특성을 갖기 때문에 손신기에서 사용되는 고출력 증폭기의 포화 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM에서 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위해 우리가 제안한 고정점 반복 기반의 사전왜곡기를 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적용하고, 이의 우수한 성능을 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에서 64-FFT/IFFT을 이용하여 변조 및 복조를 수행하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대한 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

In this paper, an adaptive beamforming algorithm, based on the Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) criterion, is devised fer adaptive antenna applied to an MC-CDMA system. A new method for updating the weight vector is derived. Computer simulations show that proposed algorithm is capable of rejecting co-channel interference that affects the MC-CDMA system. Thus, the BER performance of the MC-CDMA system is improved compared with that of the MC-CDMA system without using adaptive antenna and that of the DS-CDMA system with adaptive antenna in multi-path Ricean fading channel.

This paper presents the performance analysis of MC-CDMA system in reverse links acquired through the computer simulation. For channel estimation which is essential component of mobile communications, a modified alpha algorithm is proposed to estimate the channel sate for MC-CDMA system. In order to update the channel estimator of each subchannel, the modified algorithm uses the final hard-decision value in the receiver.

The transmission capacity of wireless communication systems may become dramatically high by employ multiple transmit and receive antennas with space-time coding techniques appropriate to multiple transmit antennas. For large number of transmit antennas and at high bandwidth efficiencies, the receiver may become too complex whenever correlation across transmit antennas is introduced. Reducing decoding complexity at receiver by combining array processing and space-time codes (STC) helps a communication system using STC to overcome the big obstacle that prevents it from achieving a desired high transmission rate. Multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) allows providing good performance in a channel with high inter-symbol interference. Antenna array, STC and MC-CDMA system have a similar characteristic that transmit-receive data streams are divided into sub-streams. Thus, there may be a noticeable reduction of receiver complexity when we combine them together. In this paper, the combination of array processing and STC in MC-CDMA system over slow selective-fading channel is investigated and compared with corresponding existing MC-CDMA system using STC. A refinement of this basic structure leads to a system design principle in which we have to make a trade off between transmission rate, decoding complexity, and length of spreading code to reach a given desired design goal.

Recently a number of multi-rate CDMA systems have been proposed for the third generation mobile communication system. Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) offers the system construction advantage of being able to use a single-rate receiver. But MC-CDMA suffers from the distortion due to the nonlinearity of the power amplifier. In this paper, we analyze the effect of the nonlinearity on the bit error rate performance of MC-CDMA systems. A polynomial model is used to represent the amplifier amplitude nonlinearities.

In this paper, we analyze the symbol error rate (SER) performance of maximum likelihood (ML) joint detection in downlink multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems by deriving a tight union bound on the symbol error rate (SER). The union bound for ML joint detection is utilized to demonstrate the performance of MIMO MC-CDMA systems quantitatively in multiuser and frequency selective Rayleigh fading environments. An analysis of the diversity order of the systems shows the effects of multiple users, spread subcarriers, and multiple antennas on the ML joint detection performance. Furthermore, the analysis shows that MIMO MC-CDMA systems without full loading can achieve more diversify than MIMO orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems.

If signal time duration of MC-CDMA method which has studied for next-generation high-speed data transmission is not sufficiently large compared to delay spread of channel, the performance is degraded by generation of intersymbol interference. In this paper, this problem will solve through serial to parallel convertor and make large sufficiently time duration of signal compared to delay spread of channel and rise variable spectral efficiency through the number of serial to parallel convertor subchannel we will add to parallel frequency diversity block for improve the performance in mobile Communication. Spectral efficiency of the proposed system is counted and compared to spectral efficiency of MC-CDMA and investigated through computer simulations by using multipath Rayleigh fading channel.

MC-CDMA(Multicarrier code division multiple access), which is based on a combination of OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) and CDMA(code division multiple access), has gained a lot of interests in wireless multimedia communications, as high speed data transmission is required for mobile services. MC-CDMA has many advantages for broadband high speed data transmission in multipath environment because it can offer both advantages of the CDMA and the OFDM. However, A high PAPR(peak to average power ratio) problem, which is a major drawback of OFDM, is also shown in the MC-CDMA. In this paper, we propose a new phase factor optimization scheme to reduce complexity in PTS(partial transmit sequence) to reduce PAPR. We also analyze the performance of the MC-CDMA with various PTS schemes to investigate the relations between PAPR characteristics and effect of nonlinear distortion of a high power amplifier. Our simulation results reveal that the proposed PTS scheme reduces PAPR about 0.2∼0.5 dB even with 25% reduced- complexity compared to the conventional scheme.

In this Paper, we discuss reducing the number of orthogonal code in Multi-Code CDMA (MC-CDMA) system. MC-CDMA system is highlighted for multi-media communication services, but conventional MC-CDMA(CMC-CDMA) system are needed many more orthogonal codes compared to traditional direct sequence CDMA(DS-CDMA) systems. in this paper, we propose the system which can reduce the number of orthogonal codes using sub-orthogonal code(SOC) technique. We certificate that the performance of the proposed system shows the almost same result under gaussian noise environment as compared to CMC-CDMA system through Monte-Curio computer simulation method.
