Abstract
Multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA), multicarrier direct-sequence CDMA (MC DS-CDMA) and multitone CDMA (MT-CDMA) are three flavors of spread spectrum multicarrier communications. Multiple access interference, inter-carrier interference, self-interference and noise are the major factors that deteriorate their spectral efficiency. A novel joint analysis of spectral efficiency is presented for asynchronous MC-CDMA, MC DS-CDMA and MT-CDMA in a frequency-selective Rayleigh fading environment. This allows us to compare performance of the three schemes in indoor and outdoor environments in the presence of interferers, carrier frequency offset, multipath fading and noise.
