Abstract

The windows for achieving good multiple-access performance of multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MCCDMA) systems employing minimum mean-squared error receivers are studied. The mean-squared error (MSE) is used as the performance metric for the optimization. In a simplified two-user system, the rectangular window is found to be optimum while regarded as an inferior window in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems because of its spectral inefficiency. Necessary conditions are given for improving the performances of spectrally efficient windows by exploiting the cyclic prefix and oversampling in the frequency domain.
