MC-CDMA and OFDM with Doppler

Contributed by Jean-Paul Linnartz

The Matlab Code used in this MC-CDMA analysis:

ici.m


 Received power P0 (green), and the variances P1, P2, and P2 of the ICI (red) versus the normalized Doppler spread l for pT = 1.

MATLAB also uses dopplernorm.m to calculate the doppler

JavaScript

 

 

 

ber.m

Calculates Local-mean BER for BPSK, versus antenna speed for local mean SNR of 10, 20 and 30 dB. Comparison between MC-CDMA and uncoded OFDM


MATLAB ber.m
uses dopplernorm.m to calculate the doppler
uses moments_crude2.m to calculte the multi-user interference in MC-CDMA, as used in various other programs

JavaScript

 

capacity.m


calculates the OFDM capacity per subcarrier per dimension as 1/2 log2(1 + V P0Ts/N0)

 

capray.m



calculates the capacity of the Rayleigh fading channel as

 

 

entropy.m

Capacity in bits per dimension for OFDM and MC-CDMA versus antenna speed.

 

 

entropy_no_doppler.m

Calculates the capacity for a fading channel with OFDM and with MC-CDMA

uses capacity.m and capray.m

 

 

mccdma_gain.m

MC-CDMA figure of merit z in dB versus the local-mean SNR on Rayleigh channel. MATLAB

 

moments_crude2.m

Calcultes the multi-user interference in MC-CDMA, as used in various other programs
