Investigations of bit error floors for multi-carrier spread-spectrum CDMA systems with RAKE receiver in frequency-selective channels

Abstract. Multi-camer spread-spectrum (MC-SS) modulation is a new kind of spread-spectrum modulation[ I],[2].The spreading code is designed in the frequency domain. Hence, the system is dual to a direct-sequence spread-system (DS-SS) where the spreading code is given in the time domain. There exist two different views: the OFDM view and the DS-SS view. Many publications deal with the frequency domain processing. Transmitter and receiver structures are similar to OFDM. Therefore all these implementations use a guard interval to avoid ISI. The disadvantage of this guard interval is the higher hardware complexity and the waste of symbol energy. In the following paper the effect of IS1 on a MC-SS system is investigated. Both types of implementation (time or frequency domain) are compared and the dependencies of the performance from the spreading code are demonstrated. It is shown that with proper code selection and a time domain implementation without guard interval (RAKE receiver) it is possible to outperform equivalent frequency domain receivers with guard interval (MRC).
