Performance of turbo coded MC-CDMA with iterative multiuser detection and decoding in nonlinear fading channel

Abstract

The performance achievable with Turbo codes for MC-CDMA in fading channel has been ,recently reported [3]. Further performance gain can be achieved by jointly using Turbo decoding and multiuser detection. Turbo deccding'in combination with detection strategy for Multi Acces? Interference (MAI) cancellation has been shown to be very effective for MC-CDMA system in Rayleigh multipath fading environment. This paper reports new sim-ulation results on 'the efficacy of joint decoding and detection for MC-CDMA in a nonlinear and fading channel
