The uniform linear array (ULA) is investigated at the base station of macrocell synchronous multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems in a frequency-selective fading channel environment. The resultant space-frequency channel model is described. In order to resolve the joint estimation problem of both uplink space-frequency channel and DOA information is constructed. Based on subspace methods, by performing eigen decomposition on this auxiliary matrix, the closed-form solution of both space-frequency channel and DOA can be obtained simultaneously for all active users within one macrocell. By contrast with schemes like estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT), the proposed scheme can elegantly avoid the joint diagonalization problem of multiple matrices. The estimated uplink space-frequency channel can further be used for individual active user to implement the joint space-frequency multiuser symbols detection. Simulation results demonstrate that the novel scheme can well mitigate the multiple access interference in multi-user scenarios superior to the synchronous MC-CDMA system with a single antenna at base station.
