Abstract

This paper proposes an efficient scheme to track a time variant channel induced by multi-path Rayleigh fading in mobile MIMO-OFDM systems with null sub-carriers. The proposed adaptive channel tracking scheme removes in the frequency domain the interfering signals of the other transmit (Tx) antennas by using a predicted channel frequency response before starting the channel estimation. Time domain channel estimation is then performed to reduce the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The simulation results show that the proposed method is better than the conventional channel tracking method [3] in time varying channel environments. At a Doppler frequency of 300 Hz and bit error rates (BER) of 10-3, signal-to-noise power ratio (Eb/N0) gains of about 2.5 dB are achieved relative to the conventional channel tracking method [3]. At a Doppler frequency of 600 Hz, the performance difference between the proposed method and conventional one becomes much larger.

본 논문에서는 다중 채널 레이리 페이딩으로 인하여 발생하는 시변 채널 환경에서 효율적으로 채널을 추적할 수 있는 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 적응 채널 추적 방식은 채널 변화를 추정하여 채널을 예측할 수 있으며 예측된 채널 응답을 이용하여 주파수 영역에서 다른 안테나로부터 수신되는 간섭 신호를 제거한다. 그 후 AWGN 성분을 줄이기 위하여 시간영역 채널 추정을 수행한다. 제안된 방식의 장점은 매 심벌 마다 채널 추적시 역행렬을 구할 필요가 없다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 기존의 채널 추적 방식보다 시변 채널 환경에서 더 나은 성능을 보였다. 도플러 주파수 300 Hz, BER = 10-3 조건에서 기존의 Li 방식 보다 약 2.5 dB 성능이 개선되었다. 도플러 주파수 600 Hz에서 기존 방식과 제안된 방식의 성능 차이는 더욱 커졌다.
