Abstract

The next generation cellular wireless communication systems require high data rate transmissions and large system capacities. In order to meet these requirements, multiple antennas can be used at the base and mobile stations, forming MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) channels. This paper proposes a MIMO SDMA(Space Division Multiple Access) technique with dynamic slot allocation which allows the transmitter to efficiently transmit parallel data streams to each of multiple receivers. The proposed technique can increase system capacities significantly by transmitting a larger number of data streams than conventional MIMO techniques while minimizing the performance degradation due to the beamforming dimension reduction.

차세대 무선 통신 시스템은 현재보다 고속의 데이터 전송과 매우 큰 시스템 용량을 요구하며, 이와 같은 요구를 충족시키기 위해서 복수의 안테나를 사용하여 송수신을 하는 MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) 기술이 널리 연구되고 있다. 이 논문은 하나의 송신기에서 복수의 수신기에게 각각 복수의 데이터 스트림을 동시에 전송하면서 동적 슬롯할당을 이용하여 성능을 향상시키는 동적 슬롯할당 공간분할 다중접속 MIMO 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 기술은 빔포밍 차원의 감소로 인한 성능 감소를 최소화하면서 다른 MIMO 기술보다 많은 수의 병렬 데이터를 전송할 수 있게 함으로써 시스템 용량을 크게 증가시키는 것이 가능하다.
