Abstract

In this paper, a soft-decision method for initial PN code acquisition in pilot-channel aided Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) systems is proposed in order to improve the acquisition performance. We apply this technique to the conventional hybrid search algorithm and analyze it in terms of mean code acquisition time. For the analysis, we present mathematical model of proposed algorithm and also perform the simulation under IMT-2000 channel models. Numerical results show that our proposed scheme outperforms the conventional one by 0.2 - 0.4 sec with respect to the mean code acquisition time because the soft decision technique can mitigate the possible decline in search performance caused by the use of a hard-decision technique.

본 논문에서는 파일롯 채널(pilot channel)이 존재하는 직접확산 코드분할 다중접속 방식(DS-CDMA)에서 PN 코드의 초기 동기획득 성능을 개선하기 위해 연판정 기법을 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 연판정 기법을 하이브리드 동기획득 알고리듬에 적용하고, 평균 동기획득 시간 측면에서 분석한다. 분석을 위해, 제안된 방식의 수학적 모델을 제시하고, IMT-2000 채널모델에서 시뮬레이션을 수행한다. 수식적인 분석 결과, 제안된 방식이 한 쌍의 임계치를 사용하는 기존 방식에 비해 평균 동기획득 시간에서 약 0.2초 내지 0.4초 정도의 성능향상을 가져오는 것을 보여준다. 이것은 연판정 기법이 기존의 경판정 기법의 사용으로 인한 성능열화를 보상함으로써 생기는 이득이라고 볼 수 있다.
