A performance investigation of coded MC-CDM with the Chase detection algorithm

This paper presents a novel WLAN-based system configuration employing Coded Multi-Carrier Code-Division- Multiplexing technology (CMC-CDM), as a potentially superior alternative to the currently standardized Coded OFDM (COFDM) technology. To further improve the performance of the system and reduce its complexity, a new concept of Chase detection is applied at the receiver. A comprehensive investigation has shown that under the appropriate conditions, the proposed system is able to show considerable advantage over COFDM. We believe that this work will contribute to the motivation of deploying CMC-CDM as an alternative approach for Next Generation of wireless systems.
