Abstract(in English) Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is known as an effective transmission technique for achieving very high-speed data transmission in a severe frequency selective fading channel. Recently, multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) has been attracting a lot of attention. MC-CDMA can take advantage of severe frequency selective fading through the frequency-domain spreading/de-spreading and can achieve significantly better transmission performance over DS-CDMA using the time-domain spreading/de-spreading. In this paper, orthogonal multi-code MC-CDMA is considered that multiplexes as many parallel channels as the spreading factor (SF) to achieve the same data rate as OFDM. As larger SF is used, larger inter-code interference is produced due to orthogonality destruction while achieving larger frequency diversity effect. Hence, the SF is an important design parameter. In this paper, assuming minimum mean square error combining (MMSEC), we evaluate, by the means of computer simulation, the bit error rate (BER) performance of orthogonal multi-code MC-CDMA to show that the use of maximum possible SF achieves the best BER performance.
