Effect of repetition coding on the BER performance of interleave-division multiple access systems

摘要

This paper investigates the bit error rate (BER) performance of interleave-division multiple access (IDMA) schemes to show the effect of repetition coding on the system performance. The considered system is tested in the presence of repetition coding by varying system parameters such as number of simultaneous users, data length, spread length, iteration number, and code rate over additive white Gaussian noise channels. In addition, the performance of the considered system is also illustrated in Rayleigh flat fading channels for a more realistic scenario. Our simulation results show that the BER performance of IDMA systems with repetition coding can achieve significant performance gains over existing uncoded IDMA schemes.
