Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel multicarrier spread-spectrum multiple-access system, called MC-FH-CDMA, in which the ideas behind two other multiple-access systems, namely MC-CDMA and MGM, are used to support multimedia multi-rate services, though improving or preserving the system performance without increasing complexity. We develop a unified approach for the performance analysis of these three systems in a correlated Rayleigh fading uplink channel with BPSK modulation and MRC combining, and compare the results with each other.
