This volume is dedicated to a range of CDMA and MC-CDMA transmission aspects of systems designed for communicating over fading wireless channels. Currently, a technical in-depth book on this subject, which has a similar detailed exposure of the ecent advances in CDMA, M-ary CDMA and MC-CDMA, is unavailable. A further attraction of the joint treatment of these topics is that it allows the reader to view their design trade-offs in a comparative context. Divided into five main parts: Part I – provides a detailed introduction to the subject of CDMA systems designed for employment in various application Part II – deals with the currently hot topic of genetic algorithm assisted multiuser detection Part II – gives a detailed account of new, reduced-complexity M-ary CDMA schemes Part IV – considers a range of novel MC-CDMA schemes which have the potential of supporting numerous design objectives Part V –...
