It was shown that with an appropriate detection strategy, especially in fullload conditions (where all users are active), a high system capacity can be achieved. In theperformance analysis in Chapter 2 we assumed that the modem is perfectly synchronized<strong>and</strong> the channel is perfectly known at the receiver.The principal goal of this chapter is to describe in detail the remaining componentsof a multi-carrier transmission scheme with or without spreading. The focus is givento multi-carrier modulation/demodulation, digital I/Q generation, sampling, channel coding/decoding,framing/de-framing, synchronization, <strong>and</strong> channel estimation mechanisms.Especially for synchronization <strong>and</strong> channel estimation units the effects of the transceiverimperfections (i.e. frequency drift, imperfect sampling time, phase noise) are highlighted.Finally, the effects of the amplifier non-linearity in multi-carrier transmission are analyzed.4.1 <strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Carrier</strong> Modulation <strong>and</strong> DemodulationAfter symbol mapping (e.g. M-QAM) <strong>and</strong> spreading (in <strong>MC</strong>-SS), each block of N ccomplex-valued symbols is serial-to-parallel (S/P) converted <strong>and</strong> submitted to the multicarriermodulator, where the symbols are transmitted simultaneously on N c parallel subcarriers,each occupying a small fraction (1/N c ) of the total available b<strong>and</strong>width B.Figure 4-2 shows the block diagram of a multi-carrier transmitter.
