Complementary Coded Identical Code Cyclic Shift Multiple Access Under Asynchronous Frequency-Selective Fading Channels

Abstract

A complementary coded code-division multiple-access (CC-CDMA) system is built on the direct sequence (DS) spread spectrum technique, which can suppress multipath interferences and multiple-access interferences due to the ideal correlation property of complementary codes (CCs). However, the DS spread spectrum technique will cause poor bandwidth efficiency; the CC-CDMA system suffers from serious interferences due to the ideal correlation of CCs may not be reconstructed at the receiver after passing through asynchronous frequency selective fading channels. In this paper, we propose a complementary coded identical code cyclic shift multiple access (CC-ICCSMA) system under asynchronous frequency selective fading channels, which allows multiple data streams to transmit in parallel by sharing one spreading code for improving the bandwidth efficiency. Considering the impact of interferences, we propose an ICCS matched filterbank to tackle the interferences, which can decode the data under all paths and achieve a high multipath diversity gain. Simulation results show that the proposed CC-ICCSMA system can achieve higher bandwidth efficiency than that of traditional CC-CDMA and can outperform the traditional DS-CDMA schemes in terms of bit-error rates and transmission rates.
