Abstract
We consider transmitter and receiver optimization in multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems under Rayleigh fading channels. Receiver optimization is performed in a decentralized manner, while transmitter optimization can be performed through either centralized or decentralized control of the powers of different carriers. Results show that when the number of users is smaller than or equal to the number of carriers, each transmitter often tends to concentrate its power on a different carrier which does not suffer deep fading. The MC-CDMA system then tends to a frequency-division multiple-access system with near-optimal frequency assignment. When the number of users gets large, each user tends to choose more than one carrier, which do not suffer deep fading, while interference suppression is performed across the chosen carriers by the corresponding receiver.
