Abstract

The paper contains an analysis of the basic criteria for the selection of spreading sequences for multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) systems with spectrum spreading in the frequency domain. It is shown that the time-domain crosscorrelation function between the spreading sequences is not a proper interference measure for the asynchronous MC-CDMA users. Therefore the spectral correlation function is introduced and, together with the crest factor and the dynamic range of the corresponding multicarrier waveforms, is used for the evaluation of MC-CDMA sequences. Some well-known classes of sequences, such as Walsh and Gold sequences, as well as orthogonal Gold and Zadoff-Chu (1972) sequences, are evaluated with respect to the aforementioned basic criteria. It is also shown that the multicarrier spread spectrum waveforms based on the multilevel Huffman sequences can have a lower crest factor than a single sine wave
