Abstract :
The performance of a space-time block coded multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) system operating in Nakagami-m fading channels is investigated. A new explicit closed form expression for bit error probability is derived. The accuracy of the analytical method is verified by computer simulations.
