“…Under this assumption, perfect channel shortening, i.e., perfect IBI removal, has been accomplished [10], [13]- [17], [22]. For multiuser systems, a method for single-carrier interleaved frequency-division multiple access (SC-IFDMA) [19] requires transmitted samples to be uncorrelated, and a method for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) [20] requires a sufficient number of null subcarriers to completely eliminate IBI. On the other hand, in multiuser MC-CDMA systems, transmitted samples are highly correlated and there are no sufficient null subcarriers.…”
