Abstract

Cellular OFDMA systems may suffer from various amounts of inter-cell interferences according to subcarriers. If it is possible to estimate the interference level of each subcarrier, the performance can be improved by adjusting the magnitude of channel decoder input signals inversely proportional to the interference amounts. While conventional cellular systems prefer to use interference averaging techniques for mitigating inter-cell interferences, this paper shows that localizing inter-cell interferences to the reduced number of subcarriers can significantly improve the system performance assuming thatinterference estimation can be employed. If interference estimation is not used, it is more favorable to use interference averaging techniques to avoid excessive interference levels to certain subcarriers. On the other hand, if interference estimation can be employed, interference localization is more beneficial than interference averaging.

셀룰러 OFDMA 시스템에서는 인접 셀 간섭이 각 부반송파별로 다른 값을 가진다. 만일 각 부반송파의 간섭의 양의 추정이 가능하다면 채널 복호기에 입력되는 데이터의 크기를 간섭의 양에 반비례하도록 조절함으로써 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 전통적인 셀룰러 시스템들이 셀간 간섭의 영향을 완화시키기 위하여 간섭의 평균화 기술을 선호하는데 반해서 본 논문에서는 셀간 간섭 추정이 가능하다고 가정할 때 적은 수의 부반송파에 간섭을 집중시킴으로써 시스템 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다. 셀간 간섭의 추정이 이루어지지 않는 경우, 특정 부반송파에 큰 간섭이 오지 않도록 간섭을 평균화하는 것이 유리한 반면, 셀간 간섭의 추정이 가능한 경우에는 간섭의 평균화를 사용하는 것보다 간섭의 집중화를 사용하는 것이 더 이득을 얻을 수 있다.
