Interleave division multiple-access

摘要

This paper provides a comprehensive study of interleave-division multiple-access (IDMA) systems. The IDMA receiver principles for different modulation and channel conditions are outlined. A semi-analytical technique is developed based on the density evolution technique to estimate the bit-error-rate (BER) of the system. It provides a fast and relatively accurate method to predict the performance of the IDMA scheme. With simple convolutional/repetition codes, overall throughputs of 3 bits/chip with one receive antenna and 6 bits/chip with two receive antennas are observed for IDMA systems involving as many as about 100 users.
