Abstract
In this paper, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing-code-division multiplexing (OFDM-CDM) is presented and investigated as alternative to conventional OFDM for high rate data transmission. An additional multipath diversity gain can be obtained with OFDM-CDM by spreading each data symbol in frequency and time. The optimum reliability information for the Viterbi (1979) decoder is derived for OFDM-CDM systems, and the tradeoff between spreading and channel coding in OFDM systems is presented. By using efficient interference cancellation or joint detection techniques, it can be shown that OFDM-CDM outperforms conventional OFDM with respect to bit error rate (BER) performance and bandwidth efficiency.

Adaptive spread-spectrum multicarrier multiple-access over wirelines

TL;DR: A new loading algorithm that dynamically handles the system configuration in order to maximize the data throughput is derived and it is shown that SS-MC-MA combined with the proposed loading algorithm achieves higher throughput than DMT in a multiuser PLC context.

A new ICI matrices estimation scheme using Hadamard sequence for OFDM systems

TL;DR: A lower bound for the mean-square estimation error among the least-square ICI matrix estimators is derived using different training sequences and it is proved that the minimum mean- square error (MMSE) optimality is attained when the training sequences in different OFDM blocks are orthogonal to each other, regardless of the sequence length.
