The similarities between rotated spreading and signal space diversity are outlined. In a multiuser MC-CDMA system possible performance improvements are based on the chosen detector the channel code and its Hamming distance. By applying rotated spreading in comparison to a standard Walsh-Hadamard spreading code a higher throughput can be achieved. As combining the channel code and the spreading code forms a concatenated code the overall minimum Hamming distance of the concatenated code increases. This asymptotically results in an improvement of the bit error rate for high signal-to-noise ratio. Higher convolutional channel code rates are mostly generated by puncturing good low-rate channel codes. The overall Hamming distance
