Abstract(in English) This paper elucidates the throughput performance, i.e., the number of simultaneously multiplexed codechannels of OFCDM(Orthogonal Frequency and Code Division Multiplexing), when employing a MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) combining scheme based on SIR estimation in a broadband channel to achieve maximum throughput above 100 Mbps. In the proposed MMSE combining scheme, the combining weights of each sub-carrier are derived from the channel gain, noise power, and number of multiplexed codes, which are estimated using the time-multiplexed common pilot channel and the coded data channel. Simulation results results elucidate that the required average received E_b/N_0 for the average packet error rate(PER)=10^<-2> can be improved by 0.6 and 1.2 dB using MMSE combining instead of a conventional equal gain combining(EGC) in a 24-Path Rayleigh fading channel(exponentially distributed path model, maximum delay time is approximately 1μsec) in a single cell environment, when the number of multiplexed codes=8 and 32, respectively, with the spreading factor of SF=32. Furthermore, when the average received E_b/N_0=10 dB, the number of multiplexed codes for the average PER=10^<-2> in the MMSE combining is increased by approximately 1.3 fold that of the conventional EGC.
