124 Hybrid <strong>Multi</strong>ple Access SchemesThe design of a future air interface for broadb<strong>and</strong> mobile communications requiresa comprehensive comparison between the various multi-carrier based multiple accessschemes. In Section 2.1.10, the performance of <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA, <strong>OFDM</strong>A, <strong>and</strong> <strong>MC</strong>-TDMAhas been compared in a Rayleigh fading channel for scenarios with <strong>and</strong> without FECchannel coding, where different symbol mapping schemes have also been taken intoaccount. It can generally be said that <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA outperforms the other multiple accessschemes but requires additional complexity for signal spreading <strong>and</strong> detection. The readeris referred to Section 2.1.10 <strong>and</strong> to References [15, 17, 23, 26], <strong>and</strong> [29] to compare theperformance of the various schemes directly.In the following, we show a performance comparison between <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA <strong>and</strong> <strong>OFDM</strong>Afor the downlink <strong>and</strong> between SS-<strong>MC</strong>-MA <strong>and</strong> <strong>OFDM</strong>A for the uplink. The transmissionb<strong>and</strong>width is 2 MHz <strong>and</strong> the carrier frequency is 2 GHz. The guard interval exceedsthe maximum delay of the channel. The mobile radio channels are chosen according tothe COST 207 models. Simulations are carried out with a bad urban (BU) profile <strong>and</strong> avelocity of 3 km/h of the mobile user <strong>and</strong> with a hilly terrain (HT) profile <strong>and</strong> a velocityof 150 km/h of the mobile user. QPSK is chosen for symbol mapping. All systems arefully loaded <strong>and</strong> synchronized.In Figure 3-13, the BER versus the SNR per bit for <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA <strong>and</strong> <strong>OFDM</strong>A systemswith different channel code rates in the downlink is shown. The number of sub-carriers is512. Perfect channel knowledge is assumed in the receiver. The results for <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA areobtained with soft interference cancellation [20] after the first iteration.
