Orthogonal frequency code division multiple access (OFCDMA) system is one of the most promising multi-user wireless communications systems. It outperforms orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and multi-carrier CDMA (MC-CDMA) through utilisation of two-dimensional spreading. This study proposes a downlink air interface that targets data rate increase and bit error rate (BER) performance enhancement with low complexity receiver. The proposed system is an integration of space-time spreading (STS) and OFCDMA that exploits transmit diversity needed for BER enhancing and data rate boosting with low complexity advantage. Further BER improvement was achieved using an effective iterativeinterferencecancellation (IIC) algorithm at the receiver. Analytical and complexity analyses for the proposed system performance are presented in addition to simulation results. The proposed system attains better performance with lower complexity compared to the STS-aided direct sequence MC-CDMA that uses beamforming as a closed-loop transmit diversity. Moreover, the effect of frequency domain spreading factor with different number of iteration loops is investigated. The achieved BER performance was very close to maximal ratio receive combining system with 1Tx and 4Rx. A considerable improvement was obtained by increasing the number of IIC iteration loops. The system performance was enhanced significantly with the frequency domain spreading factor increase.
