Abstract

We propose a hybrid system comprising of fixed-assignment FDMA and multi-carrier (MC) CDMA for supporting statistical multiplexing in a wireless multiple-access environment. The FDMA portion is used to support minimum fixed transmission rate requirements, and the CDMA portion is used to support the variable transmission rate requirements. This system fully utilizes the efficiency of FDMA to provide fixed-rate access and of multi-carrier CDMA to provide shared, and possibly non-contiguous bandwidth. We show that the total number of users that can be accommodated, while maintaining low blocking rate, is increased over a benchmark system
