Abstract
The performances of cyclic delay diversity and space-time block-coded multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems operating in a Nakagami-m fading channel with correlated subcarriers are investigated. By using the moment-generating function of the correlated Nakagami-m random variable, explicit closed-form formulas for the exact average symbol error rate (SER) of M-ary signals for an MC-CDMA system employing the aforementioned diversity techniques are derived with a maximum ratio combining detection technique. The average SERs are expressed in terms of higher transcendental functions, such as the Gauss and Appell hypergeometric functions. Both numerical and simulation results are presented, showing excellent agreement.
