Abstract

In this paper, we propose and observe a system that adopts Independent-MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level for each layer in the combined AMC-V-BLAST (Adaptive Modulation and Coding-Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) system. In addition, we consider the throughput performance of combined AMC-V-BLAST system using STD (Selection Transmit Diversity) and Independent-MCS level. Also, comparing with the combined system using Common-MCS level, we observe throughput performance improvement. As a result of simulation Independent-MCS level case adapts modulation and coding scheme for maximum throughput to each channel condition in separate layer, resulting in improved throughput compared to Common-MCS level case. Especially, the results show that the combined AMC-V-BLAST system with Independent-MCS level achieves a gain of 700kbps in $7{\sim}9dB$ SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) range and the combined AMC-V-BLAST system with STD and Independent-MCS level achieves a gain of 350kbps in the same SNR range.

본 논문에서는 AMC-V-BLAST(Adaptive Modulation and Coding-Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) 결합 시스템에 각 레이어 별로 독립적인 MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) 레벨을 적용한 경우의 시스템 구조를 제시 후 성능을 관찰한다. 또한 AMC-V-BLAST 결합 시스템에 STD(Selection Transmit Diversity)와 독립적인 MCS 레벨을 적용 후 전송률 성능을 살펴본다. 그리고 공통적인 MCS 레벨이 적용된 결합 시스템의 성능에 비하여 어느 정도의 전송률 향상이 있는가를 살펴본다. 실험결과, 독립적인 MCS 레벨이 적용된 경우가 레이어 별로 각 채널상태에 따라 최대한의 전송률을 얻기 위한 변조 및 코딩 방식이 선택되므로 공통 MCS 레벨을 적용한 경우에 비하여 전송률 성능이 우수함을 보였다. 특히 독립적인 MCS 레벨을 적용한 AMC-V-BLAST결합 시스템의 약 $7dB{\sim}9dB$ SNR구간에서 700kbps 이득을 보였고, 동일한 SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio)구간에서 STD와 독립적인 MCS 레벨을 적용한 AMC-V-BLAST 결합 시스템은 350kbps 개선을 확인하였다.
