Effect of fading, diversity and interference on the performance of multitone CDMA systems

Abstract

The performance of a multitone Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system is investigated in this paper by considering the effect of multipath fading, diversity and narrowband interference. The performance is evaluated in terms of the average bit error rate when both multiple access and partial band interference are present. Results are obtained by deriving the statistics of the receiver output parameters and then tested by numerical evaluation. The bit error rate performance is analyzed as a function of bit rate, bandwidth, delay range and different diversity techniques, while considering issues relevant to system implementation. Comparisons were made between conventional single‐tone CDMA systems and multitone CDMA systems. The effectiveness of multitone CDMA in suppressing interference compared to conventional CDMA system is analyzed. Results reveal considerable performance improvement of multitone CDMA system over conventional CDMA system. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Bit error rate performance of multicarrier CDMA system with application to image transmission

“…To ensure proper comparison, it is relevant to mention some issues regarding delay range, bandwidth, bit rate and power. As indicated in [7], fair comparison requires that the delay range and bandwidth be the same for both the SC system and the MC system. For SC systems, there would be no serial-to-parallel conversion of the encoded image data.…”

“…Using a similar derivation as in [7], the variance of the noise term e N ðtÞ and interference terms I 1 , I 2 and I 3 can be obtained. In this case, the total variance is given by…”

Performance analysis of convolutionally coded multicarrier DS/CDMA system in Nakagami fading

“…Substituting (2) into (3) and omitting the double frequency terms, the above expression may be written as Using the standard techniques as in [2] and [5], the total variance can be derived. For brevity, only the result is given as [7] u$ = 6 2 2 , +& +u2, +u2,…”
