Efficient implementation of a MC-CDMA transmission system for the downlink

This article presents the effective implementation of a MC-CDMA modulation scheme. It is shown how the spreading operation and the multi-carrier modulation can be combined in order to carry out computation savings. According to the target component (hardware or software), various structures are proposed. Computation times are also given in the two cases.
