Abstract
In the multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access with repetition code system, decreasing the code rate can result in greater frequency diversity. However, to keep the same transmit bit rate, the spreading factor in each subcarrier needs to be reduced. In this paper, we use the outage probability as a criterion for these two system parameters' design. We first examine the condition on code rate for the uncorrelated fading channel assumption. The system performance is derived and the outage probability is obtained in closed forms for equal and unequal transmit bit energy scenarios. The relation between the spreading factor and the rate of the repetition code is investigated by observing the outage probability equation.
