Adaptive modulation and subcarrier allocation for multiuser OFDM/CDMA systems
Published 2008“…The comparisons of the OFDM/CDMA, OFDM Interleaved-FDMA and OFDM Group-FDMA have been analyzed for the data transmission. Because of the near-unity reuse factor, one of the important merits of CDMA, the combination of OFDM and CDMA, known as OFDM/CDMA, brings substantial increase in the transmission data rate per unit bandwidth when the frequency resources are limited. …”
