Total outage capacity of randomly-spread coded-CDMA with linear multiuser receivers over multipath fading channels

Abstract

We address in this paper the derivation and analysis of the outage spectral efficiencies achievable with linear multiuser receivers over randomly-spread multipath fading time-varying coded-CDMA channels. The basis of the derivations is the use of non-asymptotic average eigenvalue densities of random crosscorrelation matrices. The analyses give important clues on the achievable capacity with linear multiuser receivers under non-ergodic transmission situations.
