There are many novel techniques have been invented to provide high-data rate with high quality communication services for future wireless communications systems. Recently, a novel digital modulation technology for multiple accesses, referred to as the Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA), has been proposed to support high data rate transmission; it is based on the combination of CDMA and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The MC-CDMA has been shown to be an effective technique for combating multipath fading. With MC-CDMA system, a user¡¦s spreading code can be modulated on separate subcarriers, undergo frequency-flat fading channel and offers frequency diversity advantage. But in a multi-user environment, othogonality among spreading codes is severely distorted due to multipath delay spread, such that the system capacity will be limited by the multiple access interferences (MAI). Similar situations exist due to possible narrowband interference (NBI) from other systems. Effective interference reduction will render system capacity to increase, which means interference suppression techniques are vital in improving overall system performance. In this thesis, we propose a new linearly constrained recursive least square algorithm, with diagonal loading approach, referred to as the DL-LC RLS algorithms, to further improve the system performance. The proposed diagonal loading RLS algorithm is different from conventional diagonal loading RLS algorithm, in which the diagonal loading was used to improve the robustness to pointing errors in beamforming problem. However, in this thesis, the diagonal loading approach could be used to alleviate the effect due to multiple access interference (MAI), such that under certain circumstances, better performance could be achieved. Basically, in the proposed algorithm, the power of interference plus noise of received signal will be estimated and subtracted from the diagonal terms of the autocorrelation matrix of received signal. After that instead of using the original autocorrelation matrix, the new correlation matrix, with subtracting power related to the interference plus noise, will be involved during the adaptation processes for updating the weights of the multi-user detector. Finally, computer simulation results, in terms of bit error rate, are used to demonstrate the merits of the proposed scheme compared with the conventional RLS algorithm approach without using the diagonal approaches.
