PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF MUL TICARRIER DIRECT SEQUENCE CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS SYSTEM IN F AD!NG ENVIRONMENT

Wireless Communication channels have severe int1uence on the performance of the
mobile radio system due to the detrimental effect of multi path fading, interference and
noise. This, however, has serious impact on scarce resources such as spectrum and
power of the mobile radio systems. In this thesis, a study is conducted on the
perfom1ance of orthogonal multicarrier direct sequence code division multiple access
(MC DS COMA) system operating over generalised 11-~ fading channels. Additionally,
RAKE receiver and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system are incorporated
into the system (MC DS COMA) independently and collectively.
