Abstract

We consider an adaptive bit-loading technique for bit interleaved coded modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(BICM-OFDM) systems. By adjusting transmission parameter of each subcarrier adaptively depending on the subchannel state, the performance of OFDM system can be improved dramatically. In this paper, the number of bits for each subcarrier is allocated to minimize bit error rate keeping the constant throughput for the adaptive transmission technique of BICM-OFDM system which can be applied to real time transmission. Also, We use the discrete Lagrange multiplier method to get the optimum solution under the integer bit allocation constraint. Simulation results show that computational amount of the proposed bit allocation technique is not high and BICM-OfDM system using the proposed technique can get the SNR gain by 2$\~$3 dB over nonadaptive one.

이 논문에서는 BICM-OFDM(Bit Interleaved Coded modulation-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템을 위한 비트 할당 기법에 대하여 연구한다. 부채널의 상태에 따라 부반송파의 전송 매개 변수를 조절하면 OFDM 시스템의 성능을 크게 개선시킬 수 있다. 여기서는 BICM-OFDM 시스템을 위한 적응 전송 기법으로 데이터 전송률을 일정하게 유지하면서 비트 오류율이 최소가 되도록 부반송파에 비트를 할당한다. 또한, 할당하는 비트 수가 정수인 제한 조건 하에서 최적의 해를 얻기 위해 이산 라그랑지 승수 방법을 사용한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 비트 할당 기법의 계산량이 크지 않으며, BICM-OFDM 시스템에 제안한 기법을 사용하면 약 $2\~3$ dB의 신호대 잡음비의 이득을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.
