Abstract - Multi Carrier-Code DivisionMultipleAccess(MC-
CDMA) is a new RF technology which is becoming prominent
in the field of wireless communication. It is providing high
speed data rate in new wireless communication systems. MC-
CDMA is formed by combing two technologies: Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). MC-CDMA is used in WiMAX, Long
Term Evolution (LTE), and Digital Communications. Sinceitis
a wireless communication system therefore its generated
signal will be affected by the characteristics of the wireless
channel. In this paper Rayleigh fading channel and Rician
fading channel models with SUI channel model parameters
have been used for the analysis. The performance analysis of
the system is based on Fixed WiMAX, which isatypeofWiMAX.
The modulation techniques used are BPSK, QPSKand16-QAM.
The objective of this research is to ascertain the performance
of the system depending on Bit Error Rate (BER). The
simulation and analysis of MC-CDMA system has been done
using MATLAB.

1. INTRODUCTION
Mobile and data services have been around for a while now
since it started in 1970 and late 1980s respectively, and the
demand of interference free communication and high speed
data is always increasing. Electronics Communication
started with analog domain and then digital domain was
adopted to improve the performance of communication
system. Analog modulation techniques were replaced by
digital modulation techniques as for mobile communication
and other related communication that were concerned. The
first communicationsystem developedwasAdvancedMobile
Phone Service (AMPS) which was analog. This was the 1st
generation. The growing number of users forced the
designers to develop new system and it was called the 2nd
generation, which is a digital system. 2nd generation (2G)
provided new and better services like ShortMessageService
(SMS), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), and Global
System for Mobile System (GSM), IS-90 Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA). The next generation, the 3rd
generation (3G) gives more services to its users like faster
data rates and video services. 3G services are Universal
Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS)andCDMA2000.
But with growing number of users and the requirement of
higher data rates, it has become difficult for communication
engineers to find optimum method to satisfytheneedsofthe
users. Now the new technology has been evolved, known as
the 4th generation (4G). WiMAX is a 4G technology. One
multiple access technique proposed for the 4G wireless
communication is Multi Carrier Code Division Multiple
Access (MC-CDMA). MC-CDMA is a new wireless
communication technology formulated by combiningOFDM
and CDMA. Therefore it utilizes the advantages of both the
techniques simultaneously. MC-CDMA provides higher data
rates. The transmitter and receiver for MC-CDMA system
consists of both CDMA and OFDM system. The data signal is
converted into parallel subcarriers, modulated converted
back into single stream andthentransmitted. Thedata signal
first goes through the CDMA transmitter and then it is
processed in the OFDM transmitter. On the MC-CDMA
receiver the signal first gets through the OFDM receiver and
then through the CDMA receiver.
1.1 OFDM System
OFDM is a digital Multicarrier Modulation digital
transmission technique. It has gained popularity because it
has the ability to transmit data at high rates. In OFDM,
original data symbols are divided into N sequences and are
transmitted over N subcarriers. It is a special form of
spectrally efficient technique, which employsdenselyspaced
orthogonal subcarriers and overlapping spectrums. The use
of such subcarriers makes OFDM distinguish from
conventional FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing).
Fig -1: Block diagram of OFDM system

Figure 1 is implicating the working of transmitter and
receiver of a basis OFDM system. The transmitter of an
OFDM system consist of a modulator, serial to parallel (S/P)
convertor, IFFT block, CP (Cyclic Prefix) insertion block and
a parallel to serial convertor. The data to be transmitted is
modulated using QPSK, QAM etc. and is then converted into
parallel form by S/P convertor. This signal consists ofOFDM
symbols which are short parallel sequences. This generated
signal is in frequency domain. The discrete counterpart of
Fourier Transformi.e.InverseFastFourierTransform(IFFT)
is employed to change the domain to time domain. It also
introduces the spacing between the individual signalswhich
makes them orthogonal to each other. A circular extension
known as the CP is added at the head of OFDM symbols in
order to eliminate both ISI and ICI. To achieve this goal, the
CP length must be greater than the delay spread of the
multipath channel [13]. This CP is a kindofguardbandandit
tends to decrease the spectral efficiency of the system
because it carries no information. Therefore the selection of
CP should be considerate of this complicating factor. After
the addition of CP, parallel to serial convertor changes the
data into serial form to make it suitable for transmission
through channel.
The receiver section of the system performs the reverse
operation. Received serial signal is changed to parallel form.
The cyclic prefix or the guard time is removed. Then FFT
transforms the signal in frequency domain so that it can be
used forfurther processing after gettingconvertedintoserial
form by parallel to serial convertor. The demodulator then
converts the signal back to its original form.
1.2 CDMA
CDMA is a type of spread spectrum technique in which
frequency spectrum is spread out. It uses direct sequence
spread spectrum technique. It is a multiple access technique
which provides accessibility of same network to multiple
users. The users are able to access the network same time
and can consume the whole frequency spectrum. It uses
spreading codes, which is allotted to each user. If N number
of users are using the network then N number of distinguish
codes will be generated which will be assigned to each user.
N users communicate without interference because of
different spreading codes.
Fig -2: CDMA spectrum representation
The application of distinguish spreading codes helps
identifying each user enrolled in the system. The use of
spreading code spreads the band spectrum hence making
each subscriber’s communication secure. In the spread
spectrum model, user data signal to be transmittedisspread
when a spreading code is applied to it.
Spreading is done at the transmitter when a spread code is
multiplied with the user data. At the receiver the required
user data is extracted with the help of correlation and this
process is called descrambling. The spreading codes are one
of the major elements within the whole CDMA system. The
codes are combined with the data signal to be transmitted in
such a way that the required bandwidth is increased and
hence the advantages of spread spectrum are availed.
Spread spectrum is frequency spectrum in which energy
generated at a single frequency is spreadovera wide band of
frequencies. The frequency band for spread spectrum is
made much wider than required by the information carried
by them. This technology uses wideband, noise like signals
which are hard to detect, intercept or demodulate. For
converting a data signal into spread spectrum, each and
every data bit of the data signal which is to be transmitted, is
multiplied by a secret code called chipping code. This
chipping code is a spreading code. This process is called
spreading. At the receiver, the same chipping code used at
the transmitter is used to get the original signal.Thisprocess
is called dispreading. Dispreadingisaccomplishedbythe use
of correlation function. The received spread signal is
correlated to a synchronized replica of the spreading code
which was used to spread the data signal at the transmitter.
Fig -3: Spread and non-spread signal
The spreading codes are unique and are specifictoeachuser
who is making use of the system. These spreading codes
enable the different users to gain access of the system.
Different codes used in the CDMA system are PN codes, Gold
sequence codes, and Walsh Hadamard codes. These codes
are described below.
 PN code: PN code is coded sequence of 1s and 0s. It
is a type of deterministic code that exhibits the

properties of randomness. Hence PN code makes
the signals appear wide band and noise like
spectrum. Its outcome can be equatedtooutcomeof
tossing a coin with 1 and 0 instead of heads and
tails. If current state of PN code is known, the future
state of the code can be predicted. A PN sequence
generator consists of shift registers 1 to M and a
logic circuit, preferably EX-OR. A timing clock
regulates the shift registers. A binary sequence is
generated by shifting binary data through shift
registers. This logical data is then fed back to the
first stage. The possible states can be 2^M for M flip
flops.
 Gold sequence codes: PN sequence is not able to
generate optimum results for auto-correlation
hence new series was generated by altering some
properties of the PN sequence.SotheGoldsequence
codes are from PN code’s family. Gold sequence
codes can be produced by modulo-2 addition (EX-
OR) of 2 Maximum Length Sequence (ML). ML is a
sequence of length 2^m-1, where m is the number
of flip flops used for generation of binary sequence.
On each tick of clock two sequences are added chip
by chip. This code helps generating large numbers
of codes.
 Walsh Hadamard code: This code is used for error
detection. It is named after Jacques Hadamard. This
code has better BER performance than PN and Gold
sequences. Walsh codes are used in directsequence
spread spectrum (DSSS) systems like CDMA. Walsh
Hadamard code is generated using the Hadamard
matrix H. A Hadamard code is obtained by selecting
as codewords, the rows of the Hadamard matrix.
This matrix is of order n, i.e. (n x n) comprising of1s
and 0s such that each row differs from any other
row in exactly N/2locations.Theminimumdistance
for these codes is N/2 [17]. This matrix can only
exist if n is 1, 2 or a multiple of 4. This sequence is
orthogonal therefore the cross correlation of two
sequences should be zero.
1.3 MC-CDMA
MC-CDMA is a new modulation technique, which came
into being by using two techniques together. Those two
techniques are OFDM and CDMA. The difference between
traditional DS-CDMA and MC-CDMA is that in MC-CDMA
frequency spectrum is spread in frequency domain whereas
in DS-CDMA spectrum band is spread in time domain. OFDM
block of MC-CDMA introduces orthogonality in the signal by
applying orthogonal matrix to the user bits.Theoperation in
MC-CDMA is like frequency diversity. Every symbol is
modulated on several subcarriers to introduce frequency
diversity instead of using only onecarrierlikeinCDMA.Each
bit is transmitted simultaneously parallelly on different
subcarriers. Each subcarrier has a constantphaseoffset.The
set of frequency offsets forms code to distinguish different
users. Each bit is transmitted over N different subcarriers.
Fig -4: Block diagram of MC-CDMA
The components of a MC-CDMA system consist of the
components used in OFDM system andCDMAsystem.Figure
3, elucidates its working. For MC-CDMA, first CDMA
technique is applied and then OFDM technique is deployed.
The information signal is first spread, and then it is divided
into subcarriers. After which its domain is changed to
frequency domain by IFFT, and then cyclic prefix is added so
that the system becomes resistant to the effects of ICI (Inter
Carrier Interference). After changing it to serial and analog
form it is transmitted.
On the receiving end the received modulated signal is
changed into parallel and digital form. The CP is removed
and its domain is changed back to frequency by FFT. After
going through parallel to serial convertor, the signal is now
no longer an OFDM signal. This signal is dispread andisthen
demodulated to get the original information signal.
MC-CDMA technology provides advantages such as high
spectral efficiency with secured communications, increased
number of users and less complex receiver but it suffers
from critical problem which is inherited from OFDM system
that is Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR).
2. WiMAX
Worldwide InteroperabilityforMicrowaveAccessorWiMAX
is a wireless communication system that can provide long
distance broadband wireless access (BWA) with high data
transmission rates in a point to multipoint connection and
line of sight or non-line of sight environment. It is a 4g
wireless technology and comesunder WirelessMetropolitan
Area Network (WMAN). It also provides greater coverage
than the WiFi network. WiMAX is a technology based on

IEEE 802.16 standard which is reserved for WMAN. This
standard is designed to operate in the 10-66 GHz spectrum
and specifies the physical layer and medium access control
layer of the air interface BWA systems. WiMAX can be put to
use in a variety of spectrum bands: 2.3GHz, 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz
and 5.8 GHz, the frequency bands licensed by various
government authorities. WiMAX can support bothFixed and
Mobile broadband networks and this constitutes its two
types: Fixed WiMAX and Mobile WiMAX.
Both Fixed and Mobile WiMAX technologiesarebasedon
IEEE 802.16 standard. Fixed WiMAX is used for IEEE 802.16
technology under the nameIEEE802.16-2004.FixedWiMAX
is better known as IEEE 802.16d. It is principally used for
providing fixed wire-line services which are the services
where subscriber terminals are placed at fixed stations. It
provides services which are much the same as the services
provided by the fixed line broadband. Fixed WiMAx uses
OFDM as its physical layer where FFT size is 256.
Mobile WiMAX is provides broadband wireless approach
and facilitates the coordination of mobile and fixed
broadband networks through a common wide area
broadband radio access technology. It is also known as IEEE
802.16e-2005 and more commonly as IEEE 802.16e. It
provides higher data rates andlargercoverageareashenceit
is known as 4G technology. Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiple Access technology (OFDMA) is used as the physical
layer of Mobile WiMAX and the FFT sizes used are 128, 512,
1024, and 2048.
3. FADING CHANNEL AND SUI CHANNEL MODELS
A channel is a physical connection between transmitter and
receiver. A channel model is used approximate the way
errors are introduced in data stream when it is transmitted
over a medium.
A Fading Channel is known as communications channel
which has to face different fadingphenomenon duringsignal
transmission. In practical scenarios, theradiopropagation is
affected by the multipath distortion generated by these
fading channels. Therefore a model is necessary to predict
the effects of fading in order to extenuate its effects. Two
types of fading channel models used are:
 Rayleigh fading channel model
This channel model is useful in conditions where the signal
can be considered to get dispersed between transmitterand
receiver. In this case there is no single path but multiple
paths. This model can be used to describe the case of
multipath propagation. It is experienced in an environment
where there are a large number of reflections. The Rayleigh
fading model can be utilized for the analysis of radio signal
propagation on the statistical basics. Absence of
predominant signal can be significant to obtain the best
results for this channel. A line of sight (LOS) signal can be
considered as a predominant signal. Its envelope
distribution is identical to that of a noise signal.
 Rician fading channel model
The Rician fading channel model exists where there is one
dominant or a stationary signal component, which is usually
LOS signal component. Dominant stationary signal
component is the one which does not fades, or where a very
small fading pervades. In such cases, envelope distribution
generated is Rician. In these fading channel model random
multipath components reach at different angles are
superimposed on the stationary dominant signal. As the
power of the dominant signal decrease, a Rician distribution
starts depreciating to a Rayleigh distribution. Areas of
application where the Rician fading channel criteria can be
put into use are microcellular channels, indoor propagation,
vehicle to vehicle communication, satellite communication.
SUI is an acronym for Stanford University Interim.Theseare
channels models designed for WiMAX also called IEEE
802.16. SUI is an extension of an early work stimulated by
AT&T Wireless. These channel models are mainly for Fixed
WiMAX which is IEEE 802.16d standard. These models are
proposed for the scenarios where the cell radius is less than
10 km, the antennas usedare eitheromnidirectional antenna
or 30 degree directional antenna with base station antenna
height of 15 to 40 m and receiver antenna height of 2 to 20
m. The characteristics of a channel considered by these
channel models include multipath delay profile, the K factor
distribution and the Doppler spectrum. Other factor
considered is the antenna gain reduction factor which is the
related to the directional antenna. This model defines 6
channel models each representing three terrain types,
Doppler Spreads, Delay Spread and LOS conditions.
Table -1: Channel properties considered under SUI
channel models
Channel

LOS
SUI-1 C Low Low High
SUI-2 C Low Low High
SUI-3 B Low Low Low
SUI-4 B High Moderate Low
SUI-5 A Low High Low
SUI-6 A High High Low
These three terrain types can be explained as follows:
i. Terrain type A- Hillyterrain withmoderatetoheavy
tree densities, which results in the maximum path
loss

ii. Terrain type B- Hilly environment but rare
vegetation, or high vegetationbutflatterrainhaving
intermediate path loss conditions
iii. Terrain type C- Mostly flat terrain with light tree
densities corresponding to minimum path loss
conditions
These models use three taps. The recognizable factor for
each tap is relative delay (with respect to the first path
delay), relative power, Rician K factor, and the Maximum
Doppler Shift. There are two setsofrelativepowersspecified
for each channel model: one for an omnidirectional antenna
and another for 30 degree directional antenna. K-factor is
provided for each model, one for 90%cell coverageand75%
cell coverage each for omnidirectional antenna and 30
degree directional antenna.
4. IMPLEMENTATION OF MC-CDMA SYSTEM
MC-CDMA new technology aimed at improved performance
over multipath links. It is a modulation method using
multicarrier transmission, more precisely OFDM and a
multiple access technique, CDMA. OFDM allows the system
to have higher spectral efficiency and CDMAallowsaccessto
more users.
The performance and working of MC-CDMAsystemdepends
upon different factors such as the type of channel used, type
of equalizer used, spreading used and the use of channel
coding.
Fig -5: Block Diagram MC-CDMA system implemented
4.1 MC-CDMA Transmitter
The transmitter of MC-CDMA system consists of a
randomizer, channel encoder, interleaver and a modulator
along with OFDM and CDMA transmitter.
Randomizer is the block which is responsible for the
random arrangement of the input data presentoneachburst
for each allocation. This is done to avoid long sequence of
continuous zeros and ones. It is implemented using
pseudorandom binary sequence generator which uses a 15
stage shift register.
Although digital communication is less prone to errors
yet there is no control over the errors which couldoccurdue
to wrong data reception by the receiver. One solution to this
problem is to send the data again. But this will just create
wastage of resources. Therefore errorcorrectingcodeswere
formulated to reduce the burden on the system. This error
correcting coding is called channel coding. Channel coding
used in the implementation of this system consists of RS
encoding and convolution coding. Reed Solomonencodingis
a type of non-binary error correctingcodethatisspecifiedas
RS (n,k), where n is the size of code word generated by RS
encoder and k is the size of data input to RS encoder. It can
correct up to t errors, where t = (n-k)/2, and 2t is the
difference between the output symbols of RS encoder and
the input symbols. Convolution coding adds patterns of
redundancy to data in order to improve Signal toNoiseRatio
(SNR) at the receiving end.
Interleaver is used to performs reordering of datathatto
be transmitted. Since error correcting codes are designed to
protect against channel errorsthatmayoccurrandomlyorin
a bursty manner, interleavers scramble the time order of
source bits [17]. Source bits are the encoded bits. As a result
corrective bursts of data are distributed over a large
sequence of data to reduce the effect of burst errors. It
enhances the error correcting ability of the codes used.
4.2 MC-CDMA Receiver
At the receiver end of this system, along with OFDM
receiver and CDMA receiver, consists an equalizer that
performs equalization, de-interleaver that arranges the
received sequence back into its original form and channel
decoder that performs decoding of the de-interleaved data.
Equalization compensates for intersymbol interference
(ISI) created by multipath within time dispersive channels.
ISI causes bit errors at the receiver and is considered to be a
major factor that stands in the way of high speed data
transmissions over the wireless channels and disrupts the
smooth working of a communication system. Equalizationis
a technique used to combat intersymbol interference. [17].It
is a process that reverses the distortion incurred by a signal
transmitted through a channel in digital communicationand
helps in reducing ISI. By applying this method, the retrieval
of transmitted symbols is possible. A simple linear filter can
be used for equalization.

4.3 Performance matrices
Bit Error Rate (BER): BER is defined as the number of
error bits divided by the total number of transmitted bits
during a specific period. There are errors bits occurring
within the received bits independent of rateoftransmission.
By using MATLAB the BER is evaluated. The value of BER
depicts the performance level of the system.
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): SNR is the ratio of signal
power to the noise power, expressedindecibels.Itcompares
the level of desired signal to the level of background noise. It
also referred to as the ratio of useful information to false or
irrelevant data in a conversation or exchange.
Mathematically, SNR is represented as
SNRdb= 10log10 (Psignal/Pnoise) ………..(i)

6. CONCLUSION
MC-CDMA system for Fixed WiMAX parameters was
analyzed with BPSK, QPSK and 16-QAM modulation
schemes. Considering BER values the best performance was
generated by 16-QAM modulation when Rician channel
model with SUI-4 parameters was used. As for the SNR
values were considered, again 16-QAM was able to generate
the best result among the three modulations when used for
MC-CDMA system.
