Residue number system-based multicarrier CDMA system for high-speed broadband wireless access

This correspondence is concerned with a new method to enhance the bandwidth efficiency of a multicarrier CDMA system by using a residue number based representation for information symbols. The residues are mapped into a set of orthogonal sequences and are transmitted in parallel. A new modulation scheme is proposed to increase the data rate further by combining residue number representation, PSK/QAM modulation, orthogonal spreading and multicarrier modulation. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel via extensive simulations. The present correspondence discusses the design issues associated with the system together with the performance results.
