Abstract

We propose the use of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and discrete sine transform (DST), as well as their inverses, for spreading in multi-carrier (MC) code division multiple access (CDMA) systems. The DCT matrix works as a multi-level orthogonal (MLO) spreading code set. More generally, the DCT can be used in any spread spectrum system including single-carrier CDMA systems, MC-CDMA and MC direct sequence (DS) CDMA. The use of the DCT in MC-CDMA is shown to yield better system performance than traditional binary spreading codes.
