In this paper, we investigate the application of M-ary orthogonal modulation for multicarrier spread spectrum (MC-SS) uplink transmission over a Rayleigh fading indoor channel. Different coherent detection strategies with perfectly known channel coefficients are analyzed. Furthermore, we present a decision-directed estimation receiver to apply channel phase estimation. With decision-directed estimation no redundancy like training data is required to be transmitted. Simulation results show no performance loss for low EbINo and only a moderate degradation for high Eb/No in comparison to ideal phase equalization. Moreover, the results are always contrasted with BPSK performance. Applying M-ary orthogonal modulation reveals to outperfom BPSK with respect to bit error rate and spectral efficiency, even if ideal equalization is considered for BPSK and decision-directed estimation for M-ary orthogonal modulation. The results are generally valid, whereas in this paper, they are based on the European HIPERLAN/2-~tandardization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
