Abstract

Spatial Multiplexing techniques, which is a kind of Multiple antenna techniques, provide high data transmission rate by transmitting independent data at different transmit antenna with the same spectral resource. OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is applied to MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) system to combat ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference) and frequency selective fading channel, which degrade MIMO system performance. But, orthogonality between subcarriers of OFDM can't be guaranteed under high-mobility condition. As a result, severe performance degradation due to ICI is induced. In this paper, both ICI and CAI (Co-Antenna Interference) which occurs due to correlation between multiple antennas, and performance degradation due to both ICI and CAI are analyzed. In addition to the proposed CIR (Channel Impulse Response) estimation method for avoiding loss in data transmission rate, HIC (Hybrid Interference Cancellation) approach for guaranteeing QoS of MIMO-OFDM receiver is proposed. We observe the results on analytical performance degradation due to both ICI & CAI are coincide with the simulation results and performance improvement due to HIC are also verified by simulation under SCM-E Sub-urban Macro MIMO channel.

다중 안테나 기술의 공간 다중화 방식은 다수의 송신 안테나가 서로 다른 데이터를 전송함으로써 시스템의 동일한 대역폭을 이용하여 높은 데이터 전송률을 제공하는 기술로서, 심볼간 간섭 (ISI : Inter-Symbol Interference)과 주파수 선택적 페이딩 (Frequency Selective Fading)에 강인한 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)과 함께 사용된다. 하지만, OFDM은 고속 이동환경에서 서브 캐리어간의 직교성이 유지되지 않아 서브캐리어간의 간섭 (ICI : Inter-Carrier Interference)으로 인하여 시스템의 성능 열화가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 ICI와 다중 안테나간의 상관도에 의한 CAI (Co-Antenna Interference)의 발생 원인과 그에 따른 성능 열화를 해석적으로 분석하고, 고속 이동환경에서 MIMO-OFDM 수신기의 QoS를 만족시키기 위한 ICI의 제거 방법으로 저복잡도의 HIC와 데이터 전송률을 저하시키지 않는 CIR (Channel Impuse Response) 추정 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 SCM-E Sub-urban Macro MIMO 채널에서의 모의 실험을 통해, ICI와 CAI에 의한 성능 열화 분석 결과와 모의 실험 결과가 일치하는 것을 검증하고, 고속 이동환경에서 HIC를 적용한 MIMO-OFDM 시스템의 성능이 향상되는 것을 보인다.
