This paper presents the design and analysis of spatially coupled low‐density parity‐check (SC‐LDPC) codes for Gaussian multiple access channel (GMAC). For two‐user GMAC, we consider that each user encodes their messages by SC‐LDPC codes while joint belief propagation decoding is considered at the receiver. We present low complexity density evolution analysis of SC‐LDPC GMAC codes and show simple optimisation procedure. For the asymptotic case, we observe that SC‐LDPC code‐based GMAC code outperforms existing irregular LDPC code‐based GMAC code.
