Abstract

The paper focuses on the bit error rate (BER) performance of equalisation strategies for a downlink MC-CDMA based system. Simulation results utilising maximal ratio combining (MRC), orthogonal restoring combining (ORC), equal gain combining (EGC) and minimum mean square error combining (MMSEC) for a multiuser scenario are presented. In addition, we analyse the relative complexities of each scheme and discuss their suitability for implementation in future consumer products.
