Abstract

In this paper, the multiband complex wavelet used as multi-carrier basis function is optimized. On the basis of analyzing the principle of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA), a new multiband complex wavelet based MC-CDMA (MBCW-MC-CDMA) system model is proposed, and space diversity combining (SDC) technique is employed to improve the system performance further. The uplink performance of proposed MBCW-MC-CDMA system with SDC technique is investigated in Rayleigh fading channel, and corresponding bit error rate (BER) analysis is given in detail. Without any cyclic prefix (CP), the system can avoid the decrease of spectrum efficiency and data rate of conventional MC-CDMA with CP. By comparison, our scheme outperforms real wavelet packet based MC-CDMA and slightly outperforms conventional MC-CDMA with CP via utilizing superior properties of the optimized multiband complex wavelet. Theoretical analysis and simulation result show that the application of SDC technique can improve the proposed system ability to combat spatial fading and various interferences effectively. Moreover, the proposed system based on SDC technique has superior BER performance over conventional DFT and SDC based MC-CDMA system and real wavelet packet and SDC based MC-CDMA system.
