Abstract

셀 커버리지 확대 및 음영 지역 해소를 위하여 중계기를 활용하는 이동 통신 시스템이 널리 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 음영 지역 성능 개선을 위하여 AF(amplify-and-forward) 방식 중계기를 활용하여 다중 경로가 확보된 네트워크에서의 SC-FDE(single carrier-frequency domain equalizer)를 위한 등화 기법을 제안한다. 3-슬롯 기반 다중 경로 상황에서 중계기를 통해 수신된 신호를 MRC (maximum ratio combining) 방식으로 합쳐 MMSE (minimum mean square error) 등화 기법을 적용하면 다이버시티 이득을 획득하여 SC-FDE 시스템의 수신 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. 이를 위하여, AF 방식 중계기 기반의 다중 경로 네트워크에서 SC-FDE를 위한 MRC 계수 및 MMSE 등화 탭의 수식을 정확히 도출하여 제시하고, 실험 결과를 통해 성능 향상을 확인한다. In order to extend cell coverage and to cope with shadow areas, a relay-assisted wireless communications system has been widely studied. In this paper, we propose new equalization method for single carrier (SC) frequency domain equalizer (FDE) in amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying multi-path networks to improve the performance at shadow areas. The performance of SC-FDE system in 3-slot based multi-path networks can be improved considerably with the diversity gain which we obtain by equalizing the combined signal from relays by means of the minimum mean square error (MMSE) criteria. We find the weighting coefficients of maximum ratio combining (MRC) and the tap coefficients of MMSE equalizer for SC-FDE in AF relaying multi-path networks. Simulation results show that the proposed system considerably outperforms the conventional SC-FDE system.
