Method and device for selecting spreading parameters of an OFDM-CDMA system

摘要

The method involves determining asymptotic interference signal to noise ratio, for a set of sub-bands of sub-carriers and blocks of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols, from attenuation coefficients of a propagation channel and type of equalizer used by a receiver. A compressed interference signal to noise ratio is deduced for each block of coded information obtained by a quadrature amplitude modulation, where the ratio is given by an analytical formula depending on frequency and time spreading parameters. The parameters which maximize the compressed value are selected. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting device (2) a simulation unit for a mobile radio communications system, adapted for implementing a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting method (3) a wireless mobile telephony device for adapted for implementing a frequency and/or time spreading parameters selecting method.
