Disclosed is an MC-CDMA scrambling system and method, and a recording
medium for storing a program thereof. A transmitter receives user's bit
streams, uses a fixed scrambling code, determined according to the user's
orthogonal code combinations or the number of users and having a length
equal to the number of subcarriers, and generates and outputs
multicarrier signals. A receiver uses the scrambling code equal to that
used by the transmitter, and receives the multicarrier signals from the
transmitter, thereby converting the scrambling codes according to the
users' orthogonal code combinations irrespective of user data, and easily
reducing the PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio).
