Self-encoded multi-carrier spread spectrum with iterative despreading for random residual frequency offset

In this study, we investigate the multi-carrier spread spectrum (MCSS) communication system which adopts the self-encoded spread spectrum in a downlink synchronous channel. It is very difficult to completely eliminate the frequency offset in practical channel scenarios. We demonstrate that the self-encoded MCSS (SE-MCSS) with iterative despreading manifests a remarkable immunity to residual frequency offset. The SE-MCSS can be an excellent candidate for the future generation of wireless services.
