Introduction 11<strong>and</strong> broadb<strong>and</strong> wireless access (F/BWA). In addition to system-level analysis, a multitudeof research activities have been addressed to develop appropriate strategies for detection,interference cancellation, channel coding, modulation, synchronization (especially uplink),<strong>and</strong> low cost implementation design.The Aim of This BookThe interest in multi-carrier transmission <strong>and</strong> in multi-carrier spread spectrum is stillgrowing. Many researchers <strong>and</strong> system designers are involved in system aspects <strong>and</strong> theimplementation of these new techniques. However, a comprehensive collection of theirwork is still missing.The aim of this book is first to describe <strong>and</strong> analyze the basic concepts of multi-carriertransmission <strong>and</strong> its combination with spread spectrum, where the different architectures<strong>and</strong> the different detection strategies are detailed. Concrete examples of its applicationsfor future cellular mobile communications systems are given. Then, we examine otherderivatives of <strong>MC</strong>-SS (e.g. <strong>OFDM</strong>A, SS-<strong>MC</strong>-MA, <strong>and</strong> DFT-spread <strong>OFDM</strong>/interleavedFDMA) <strong>and</strong> other variants of the combination of <strong>OFDM</strong> with TDMA, which are todaypart of LTE, WiMAX, WLAN, <strong>and</strong> DVB-RCT systems. Basic <strong>OFDM</strong> implementationissues, valid for most of these combinations, such as channel coding, modulation, digitalI/Q generation, synchronization, channel estimation, <strong>and</strong> effects of phase noise <strong>and</strong>nonlinearity are further analyzed.Chapter 1 covers the fundamentals of today’s wireless communications. First a detailedanalysis of the radio channel (outdoor <strong>and</strong> indoor) <strong>and</strong> its modeling are presented. Thenthe principle of <strong>OFDM</strong> multi-carrier transmission is introduced. In addition, a generaloverview of the spread spectrum technique, especially of DS-CDMA, is given. Examplesof applications of <strong>OFDM</strong> <strong>and</strong> DS-CDMA for broadcast, WLAN, <strong>and</strong> cellular systems(IS-95, CDMA-2000, WCDMA/UMTS, HSPA) are briefly presented.Chapter 2 describes the combinations of multi-carrier transmission with the spread spectrumtechnique, namely <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA <strong>and</strong> <strong>MC</strong>-DS-CDMA. It includes a detailed descriptionof the different detection strategies (single-user <strong>and</strong> multi-user) <strong>and</strong> presents their performancein terms of the bit error rate (BER), spectral efficiency, <strong>and</strong> complexity. Here acellular system with a point to multi-point topology is considered. Both downlink <strong>and</strong>uplink architectures are examined.Hybrid multiple access schemes based on <strong>OFDM</strong>, <strong>MC</strong>-SS, or spread spectrum areanalyzed in Chapter 3. This chapter covers <strong>OFDM</strong>A, being a derivative of <strong>MC</strong>-CDMA,<strong>OFDM</strong>-TDMA, SS-<strong>MC</strong>-MA, DFT-spread <strong>OFDM</strong>/interleaved FDMA, <strong>and</strong> ultra wideb<strong>and</strong>(UWB) schemes. All these multiple access schemes have recently received wide interest.Their concrete application fields are detailed in Chapter 5.The issues of digital implementation of multi-carrier transmission systems, essentialespecially for system <strong>and</strong> hardware designers, are addressed in Chapter 4. Here, thedifferent functions such as digital I/Q generation, analogue/digital conversion, digitalmulti-carrier modulation/demodulation, synchronization (time, frequency), channel estimation,coding/decoding, <strong>and</strong> other related RF issues such as nonlinearities, phase noise,<strong>and</strong> narrowb<strong>and</strong> interference rejection are analyzed.In Chapter 5, concrete application fields of <strong>OFDM</strong>A, <strong>OFDM</strong>-TDMA, <strong>and</strong> <strong>MC</strong>-SS forB3G cellular mobile (LTE <strong>and</strong> WiMAX), 4G (IMT-Advanced), wireless indoor (WLAN),
