초록

본 논문에서는 개방 지역 혹은 위성 채널과 같이 직진파 (Line-Of-Sight; LOS) 성분이 존재하는 라이시안 (Rician) 다중경로 페이딩 채널 하에서의 광대역 부호 분할 다원 접속 (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access; W-CDMA) 시스템에 적합한 단순한 형태의 개방루프 전송 다이버시티 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 송신기에서 어떠한 사전 처리 과정도 필요하지 않기 때문에 기존의 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티 기법인 TxAA (Transmit Adaptive Array)나 개방루프 시공간 전송 다이버시티 (space-Time Transmit Diversity; STTD)에 비하여 간단한 구조를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안 기법의 수신단 출력 신호대잡음비 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio; SNR)에 대한 확률밀도함수 및 비트오율 (Bit Error Rate; BER)을 유도한다. 또한 전형적인 라이시안 페이딩 채널 환경에서 모의 실험을 통해 해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하고 기존의 전송 다이버시티 기법들과의 성능 비교 결과를 제시한다. 모의실험 결과, LOS 성분이 매우 작은 경우에는 기존의 개방루프 STTD 기법 보다 약간의 우위를 유지하는데 그치지만 LOS 성분이 커질수록 기존의 개방루프 STTD 기법보다 월등히 우수해지며 이상적인 폐쇄루프 TxAA 시스템의 이론적인 성능에 근접함을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a simple open loop transmit diversity (TD) scheme for the wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) systems in Rician multipath fading channels such as rural area or satellite channels where line-of-sight (LOS) paths are in presence. The proposed scheme does not require any pre-processing of transmit data, resulting in simpler structure as compared to conventional closed loop transmit adaptive array (TxAA) and open loop space-time transmit diversity (STTD). We analytically derive the probability density function of signal-to-noise ratio at the Rake receiver output and the uncoded bit error rate performance of the proposed scheme. Extensive simulation is Performed to verify the analytical performance of the proposed scheme under typical Rician multipath fading channel environments. Moreover, comparative results with the conventional TxAA and STTD are also provided. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme shows slightly better performance than the conventional open loop STTD under the channels with very weak LOS components, however, it significantly outperforms the STTD under the channels with dominant LOS components, and achieves a close performance of ideal closed loop TxAA.
