ABSTRACT

One important challenge for future wireless networks is the design of appropriate transceivers that can reliably transmit high data rates at a high bandwidth eciency. Multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems in particular have received considerable attention, because they have the attractive feature of high spectral eciency and because they can be easily implemented using fast Fourier transform (FFT) without signicantly increasing the transmitter and receiver complexities [1, 2].
