Abstract

The uplink performance of multi-user space–time-coded code-division multiple access (STC-CDMA) system in Rician fading channel is presented. A simple and effective multi-user receiver scheme is developed for STC-CDMA system. The scheme has linear decoding complexity when compared to the existing scheme with exponential decoding complexity, and thus implements low-complexity decoding. Based on the bit error rate (BER) analysis and moment generation function, theoretical BER expressions are derived for STC-CDMA with orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal spreading code, respectively. It is shown that these expressions have more accuracy. Using these expressions and the approximation of error function, closed-form approximate BER expressions are obtained, which can simplify the calculation of the derived theoretical BER. Simulation results show that the developed low-complexity decoding scheme can achieve almost the same performance as the existing scheme. The theoretical BER are in good agreement with the corresponding simulated values. Moreover, the presented approximate expressions are also close to the simulated values due to the better approximation. Under the same system throughput and concatenation of channel code, the presented full-rate STC-CDMA system has lower BER than the corresponding full-diversity STC-CDMA systems.
