Abstract

SC-FDE (Single Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization), one of physical layers of IEEE802.16, is less sensitive to nonlinear power amplifiers than OFDM while its complexity and performance is comparable. The guard interval length in SC-FDE should be greater than the maximal delay spread. While a delay spread is small in most wireless communication environments, a very large delay spread can be possibly encountered in the mountain areas or due to the repeaters. This paper proposes SC-FDE with variable-length guard intervals. In the proposed method the guard interval length can be determined per each cell or per each subscriber stations.

IEEE802.16의 물리계층 중 하나인 SC-FDE (Single Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization)는 OFDM과 비슷한 성능 및 복잡도를 유지하면서 OFDM에 비해 비선형성 전력 증폭기에 덜 민감하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. SC-FDE의 보호구간은, OFDM의 경우에서와 같이, 최대 지연확산에 의해서 결정된다. 대부분의 무선통신 환경에서 지연확산은 작은 값을 가지지만 산악지방이나 중계기의 영향 등에 의해서 매우 큰 지연확산이 발생할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 가변 길이의 보호구간을 가지는 SC-FDE를 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 라 셀에 따라 혹은 각 가입자에 따라서 보호구간의 길이를 결정할 수 있다.
