Outage probability of a multicarrier DS/CDMA system with adaptive antenna array

The outage performance and capacity are discussed and simulated for a multicarrier DS/CDMA system in a Nakagami fading channel. It is confirmed that the adaptive antenna array is a very efficient approach to improve the system capacity of multicarrier DS/CDMA system. The results in this paper can be applicable to receiver design for future generation mobile communication systems including IMT-2000 system.
