Performance of SFH/MC DS-CDMA system using transmit diversity with space-time block coding

Multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access (MC DS-CDMA) has emerged recently as a promising candidate for the next generation broadband mobile networks. FH can be invoked for each user in order to occupy the whole system bandwidth to utilise efficiently the system's frequency resources. Transmitter diversity with space-time block coding (STBC) is an attraction transmission scheme that improves the performance of systems.
