Abstract :
Recently we have proposed a multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) scheme for the downlink of mobile communications to combat the channel blocking in flat fading multi-input single-output (MISO) channels. In this paper, the previous proposal is extended to the case of frequency-selective fading multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channels. An enhanced scheme is also proposed to obtain better bit error rate (BER) performance and to facilitate signal detection. BER performance of the proposed system using different detection methods is evaluated by numerical calculation. Without decreasing time, frequency, and transmit (Tx) power efficiencies, the proposed system allows us to extract all the Tx data with relatively good BER even when channel blocking is encountered
