Abstract

In this paper, the new technique combining beamforming with space-time coding is proposed for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system with multi-input multi-output(MIMO). When MIMO-OFDM system is employing Nt(the number of transmitterantenna) beamfomers and one S-T decoder at Nr receiver antennas, Nt signals removed CCI are outputted at the beamformer and then diversity gain can be got through space-time decoding. As the proposed technique can reduce cochannel interference and get diversity gain in the multi-user environment, the performance of MIMO-OFDM system is very improved. BER performance improvement and convergence behavior of the proposed approach are investigated through computer simulation by applying it to MIMO-OFDM system in the multi-user environment.

이 논문에서는 다중 사용자 환경에서 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템의 성능 향상을 위해 빔 형성기와 결합된 space-time decoder를 가진 새로운 시스템 구조와 이 구조에 적합한 적응 빔 형성기법을 제안한다. MIMO-OFDM시스템에서 Nr 개의 안테나를 가진 수신기에 송신안테나 수(Nt)와 동일한 수의 빔 형성기를 설치함으로서 이 빔 형성기에 의해 CCI(cochannel interference)가 제거된 Nt개의 신호들이 출력되고 출력된 신호들은 space-time decoding 되어 diversity 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 CCI가 있는 다중 사용자 환경에서 제안된 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능은 크게 향상된다. MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 제안된 적응 빔 형성기법과 결합된 S-T coding기법을 적용할 경우 수렴특성과 성능 개선 효과를 모의 실험을 통하여 확인한다.
