Synchronous multi-user multi-carrier CDMA communication system with decorrelating interference canceler

Abstract
Multi-carrier (MC) multi-user CDMA is a new transmission method in which every user bit is sent simultaneously over multiple subcarriers (or multiple tones), each of which has a time-constant 0 or /spl pi/ phase offset. The offsets corresponding to each user form a unique code signature sequence, orthogonal to those of any other user, or pseudo orthogonal as with Gold codes or Kessami code sequences. We address a moderately dispersive channel in which each user-subcarrier channel has a different random amplitude and phase. We estimate the performance of a receiver matched to such a multicarrier, multi-user scheme. Then we implement a decorrelating interference canceler at the output and examine its effect on performance.
