Abstract
A new adaptive receiver design for the Multicarrier (MC) DS-CDMA is proposed employing successive interference cancellation (SIC) architecture. One of the main problems limiting the performance of SIC in MC DS-CDMA is the imperfect estimation of multiple access interference (MAI), and hence, the limited frequency diversity gain achieved in multipath fading channels. In this paper, we design a blind adaptive SIC with new multiple access interference suppression capability implemented within despreading process to improve both detection and cancellation processes. Furthermore, dynamic scaling factors derived from the despreader weights are used for interference cancellation process. This method applied on each subcarrier is followed by maximum ratio or equal gain combining to fully exploit the frequency diversity inherent in the multicarrier CDMA systems. It is shown that this way of MAI…
