Summary:Relying on mutual orthogonality between subcarriers of different users in orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems and mutual orthogonality between spreading codes in code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems, a novel transmitter design is proposed for group layered space–frequency block code (GLSFBC)–OFDM–CDMA communication systems over frequency-selective fading channels. The proposed method is based on a three-level design of user codes: the top level (based on OFDMA) deals with group interference and intersymbol interference (ISI), the middle level (based on space–frequency block coding) results in space–frequency diversity, and the lower level (based on CDMA) handles multiuser interference. The new approach only needs one receive antenna to distinguish multiple users and suppress group interference simultaneously, so the complexity of the receiver decreases remarkably. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed technique.
