Abstract

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) communications system is very attractive for the high data rate transmission in the frequency selective lading channel. Since OFDM has high PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio), OFDM signal may be distorted by the nonlinear HPA(high power amplifier). In this paper, we propose the DSI(dummy sequence insertion) method for OFDM communication system. Some sub-carriers are inserted for PAPR reduction. They carry the specified dummy data sequence which are used for only PAPR reduction and do not work as side information like the conventional PTS(partial transmit sequence) or SLM(selected mapping) method. We use the complementary sequence and the combination of the correlation sequence as the dummy sequence. Flipping technique is used for the DSI method to get the effective PAPR reduction. It is important that BER of the proposed method is independent of the damage of the dummy data sequence. And DSI method has better spectral efficiency than the conventional block coding. On the other hand, threshold PAPR method is applied to cut down the processing time. However, this DSI method is not better than the conventional PTS method in the respect of the PAPR reduction performance. The DSI method includes the threshold PAPR lower than the PAPR of the OFDM signal, reduces the processing time and improves the BER performance.

OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 통신 방식은 무선 고속 데이터 전송에 적합한 방식이다. 하지만 높은 PAPR(peak-to-average power ratio)의 발생으로 HPA(high power amplifier)에서 비선형 왜곡된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일정량의 부반송파를 PAPR 저감을 위해 사용하지만 별도의 부가정보 전송이 필요하지 않는 DSI(dummy sequence insertion) OFDM을 제안한다. DSI 방식은 기존 PTS(partial transmit sequence)나 SLM(selected mapping) 방식에서의 부가 정보와 달리 단지 PAPR 감소에만 사용되는 특정한 더미 데이터 시퀀스(dummy data sequence)를 전송한다. 더미 시퀀스로 상보 시퀀스(complementary sequence)와 상관 시퀀스(correlation sequence)를 사용하고 좀더 효과적 인 PAPR 저감을 위해 플리핑(flipping) 방법을 사용한다. 또한 DSI 방식은 기존의 블록코딩 방식보다 나은 전송 효율(spectral efficiency)을 갖는다. 그리고 DSI 방식은 처리시간 및 계산량을 줄이기 위해 threshold 기법을 적용한다. 하지만 PAPR 저감 성능은 기존 방식보다 떨어진다. 하지만 제안한 DSI 방식의 중요한 장점은 더미 데이터 시퀀스의 손상에 의해 BER특성이 영향을 받지 않는다는 것이다. 결론적으로 DSI 방식은 OFDM 보다 낮은 PAPR을 갖고 기존의 PIS나 SLM에 비해 처리시간을 감소시키고 BER성능 개선이 이루어진다.
