Masini Received 30 April 2007 Revised 24 August 2007 Accepted 2 November 2007 Recommended by Arne Svensson This paper investigates the impact of several equalization techniques for multicarrier code division multiple access systems on the performance at both lower and upper layers . physical and TCP layers . Classical techniques such as maximal ratio combining equal gain combining orthogonality restoring combining minimum mean square error as well as a partial equalization PE are investigated in time- and frequency-correlated fading channels with various numbers of interferers. Their impact on the performance at upper level is then studied. The results are obtained through an integrated simulation platform carefully reproducing all main aspects affecting the quality of service perceived by the final user allowing an investigation of the real gain produced by signal processing techniques at TCP level.

INTRODUCTION Multicarrier code division multiple access MC-CDMA techniques have achieved considerable attention and owing to their efficiency in counteracting both multiuser interference and frequency selective fading are also .
