Multi-carrier code-division-multiple-access (MC-CDMA) is a promising transmission technique for high-speed wireless multimedia communication in frequency-selective fading channels. In this letter, allocations of physical transmission rate, sub-carrier, and power are proposed for a MC-CDMA system that applies multi-code (MC)/variable-spreading-length (VSL) multi-rate access to minimize total transmitted power, where we consider users have different data rate and BER.requirements and LMMSE multiuser detection is used in the receivers. We derive transmission rate capacity and propose a simple admission control criterion that linearly relates the code length, data rate and BER requests of all users. The proposed iterative allocation algorithm jointly allocates the sub-carrier power of each user and solves the sub-carrier allocation problem
