Hybrid Carrier CDMA Communication System Based on Weighted-Type Fractional Fourier Transform

Recently, an approach based on carrier scheme convergence was proposed based on the weighted-type fractional Fourier transform (WFRFT). Meanwhile, in the high-speed wireless communication systems, code division multiple access (CDMA) is an efficient technique for interference in the frequency-selective fading channels. In this letter, we combine the hybrid carrier (HC) scheme with CDMA and frequency domain linear equalization. The proposed system can not only provide the compatibility with single carrier (SC) CDMA and multi-carrier (MC) CDMA systems, but also achieve a smooth and seamless transition between the two. The proposed system can switch to single carrier or multi-carrier scheme under the specific conditions. Moreover, HC-CDMA outperforms SC-CDMA and MC-CDMA systems over the frequency-selective fading channel and single frequency jamming channel.
