Abstract

We investigate the influence of different Walsh-Hadamard (WH) code allocation techniques on the performance of multi-carrier code division multiple access (CDMA) systems in the presence of high power amplifier (HPA) non-linearities. We consider two different multi-carrier CDMA schemes: multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) and multi-carrier direct sequence CDMA (MC-DS-CDMA) and analyse their performance in terms of total degradation and spectral spreading for different numbers of active users.
