Abstract

The throughput enhancement of Space-Time Spreading (STS)-based Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) system is investigated in this paper. Adaptive Modulation is utilized to improve the data throughput of the system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel. In this contribution, an analytical approach is proposed to compute a new expression for the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and the output Signal-to-Interference-and-Noise Ratio (SINR) of the RAKE receiver-assisted STS-based CDMA system for QAM data, considering multipath and multiuser interferences. The other contribution of the paper is deriving a new closed form expression for computing the throughput enhancement and the BER performance of the adaptive modulated STS-based CDMA system over multipath fading channel. Simulation and analytical results demonstrate that using adaptive modulation method in this system improves the average throughput by keeping the BER performance at a target level. The novel expressions presented in this paper bring out the facility of evaluation of the proposed system with no need to more calculations and simulations.
