Introduction 9<strong>Multi</strong>-<strong>Carrier</strong> <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Spectrum</strong>Since 1993, various combinations of multi-carrier modulation with the spread spectrumtechnique have been introduced as multiple access schemes. It has been shown thatmulti-carrier spread spectrum (<strong>MC</strong>-SS) offers high spectral efficiency, robustness, <strong>and</strong>flexibility [31]. Two different philosophies exist, namely <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA (or <strong>OFDM</strong>-CDMA)<strong>and</strong> <strong>MC</strong>-DS-CDMA (see Figure 4 <strong>and</strong> Table 6).<strong>MC</strong>-CDMA is based on a serial concatenation of direct sequence (DS) spreadingwith multi-carrier modulation [10, 20, 27, 56].
