MC-CDMA and OFDMA for indoor communications: the influence of multiple receiving antennas

The influence of multiple receiving antennas on the bit error rate is considered for MC-CDMA and OFDMA. It is shown that in a frequency-selective environment reception with a general multiuser/multiantenna receiver the performance of both schemes tend to become similar with an increasing number of antennas. As an example, this is demonstrated for an indoor scenario.
