Performance of Improved Channel Allocation for Multicarrier CDMA with Adaptive Frequency Hopping and Multiuser Detection

Subchannel allocation for the reverse link of multi-carrier code-division multiplex-access (MC-CDMA) system with adaptive frequency hopping (AFH) is investigated. An efficient allocation method that can be employed with the matched filter (MF) receiver as well as with multiuser detectors (MUDs) by exploiting the appropriate signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR) analysis is described. It is demonstrated that combined improved subcarrier allocation and the linear decorrelating detector (LDD) are very efficient in mitigating multiple-access interference (MAI), resulting in much larger system capacity than for a non-adaptive MC direct-sequence (DS)-CDMA system. This conclusion is confirmed for realistic fading channels with correlated subcarriers and imperfect channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter.
