Abstract

In multi-path wireless channels with time-variant delay profile, a mobile station measures the received signal strength and report it to network which performs network control function such as handover. In order to improve the maximum ratio combining (MRC) gain, it also should search the strongest signal paths and measure their time offsets fast and exactly. This paper proposes some methods of fast and exactly measuring the multi-path signal strength and time offset. Since the W-CDMA system adopts antenna diversity technique for the next generation high speed packet access (HSDPA) service, we derive the optimum design parameter values for the proposed methods through computer simulations under the HSDPA conditions o( low speed of mobile, of no power control, and of multi-path wireless environment with transmit and receive antenna diversity. Finally, we prove the validity of the proposed methods by showing the improvement of the bit error rate (BER) performance.

時變 多重經路 無線채널 環境下에서 移動局은 受信信號를 測定하여 網에 報告함으로써 綱이 핸드오버와 같은 網의 制御技能을 修行하도록 한다. 또한, 最大比結合利得 (maximum ratio combining gain, MRC gain)을 最大化하기 위해서 移動局은 信號세기가 가장 큰 經路를 찾아내고 그 時間옵셋 (time offset)을 빠르고 正確하게 測定해야 한다. 본 論文은 移動局이 채널經路의 信號세기를 測定하는 方法과 채널經路의 時間옵셋을 찾는 方法을 提案한다. 또한 W-CDMA 시스템에서는 次世代 高速 패킷 서비스를 目標로 하고 있으므로, 이 때의 性能 分析하기 위하여, 高速 패킷 서비스 環境에 맞도록 低速의 移動體 環境, 無電力制御, 送受信 안테나 다이버시터를 포함한 多重經路 環境下에서 컴퓨터 模擬實驗을 修行하여 最適의 設計 變數값을 導出하고 그 때의 性能 改善量을 비트誤率韻點에서 보인다.
