K-user parallel concatenated code for Gaussian multiple-access channel

A k-user parallel concatenated code (PCC) is proposed for a Gaussian multiple-access channel with symbol synchronization and equal power users. In this code, each user employs a PCC with M + 1 component codes, where the first component code is a rate 1/q repetition code and the other M component codes are the same rate-1 convolutional code 1/1+D. The K-user PCC achieves a larger maximum sum rate, at the high rate region, than the conventional scheme of an error correction code serially concatenated with a spreading.
