Abstract: | Abstract-Alternative code assignment policies for the forward link of a multicarrier DS-CDMA system employing the recently proposed quasi-orthogonal sequences are put forth in this letter. It is demonstrated how different allocation strategies of quasi-orthogonal codes alter the interference level suffered by active units; it is also shown how to shape the rate of interference growth as a function of the number of active users within the reference cell, implementing some specific code allocation patterns. The performance achieved by various schemes is assessed in a frequency selective fading environment, in terms of average bit error probability. |
