文摘For Multi-Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access （MC-CDMA） systems, it is usually assumed that the fading of the subcarriers is frequency non-selective and independent of each other. This paper shows that the two assumptions are incompatible. In fact, the MC-CDMA signals at each subcarrier undergo fading that are highly correlated. Based on this observation, this paper develops a simulation algorithm for Rayleigh fading channels via frequency-domain correlation functionl which incorporates the Doppler effect simultaneously. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new algorithm, with the conclusion that the independence assumption of subcarrier fading overrates the system performance.
