MC-CDMA performance evaluation over a multipath fading channel using the characteristic function method
Besma Smida, Charles L. Despins, Gilles Y. Delisle · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2001
This letter presents an efficient and accurate performance evaluation method for binary MC-CDMA systems with deterministic signature sequences. This method is based on a formulation of the characteristic function, and does not resort to any assumption on the statistical or spectral behavior of the interference. The accuracy of the Gaussian approximation method is also considered.
