Abstract

The use of space-division multiple access(SDMA) in the downlink of multiuser multi-input/multi-output(MIMO) wireless transmission systems can provide substantial gains in system throughput. When the channel state information(CSI) is available at the transmitter, a considerable performance improvement can be attained by adapting the transmission rates to the reported CSI. In addition, to combat frequency selective fadings in wideband wireless channels, bit-interleaved coded OFDM(BIC-OFDM) modulation schemes are employed to provide reliable packet delivery by utilizing frequency diversity through channel coding. In this paper, we propose an adaptive modulation and coding(AMC) scheme combined with an opportunistic scheduling technique for the MIMO BIC-OFDM with bandwidth-limited feedback channels. The proposed scheme enhances the link performance by exploiting both the frequency diversity and the multiuser diversity. To reduce the feedback information, the proposed AMC scheme employs rate adaptation methods based on an OFDM symbol rather than on the whole subchannels. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme exhibits a substantial performance gain with a reasonable complexity over single antenna systems.

다중사용자 무선 채널 환경에서 공간분할 다중접속 기법을 사용함으로서 전체 시스템의 전송률을 대폭 증가시킬 수 있다. 송신단에서 정확한 채널정보를 알고 있는 경우, 전송률을 적절하게 조절함으로서 시스템 성능을 보다 향상시킬 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 주파수 선택적 페이딩 특성을 갖는 광대역 무선 채널에서는 채널 부호화를 통해 채널 다이버시티를 활용하여 신뢰성이 높은 데이타 전송이 가능하도록 BIC-OFDM 기술을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 궤환정보를 이용한 기회적 스케줄링 기법과 결합된 적응 변조 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 기법은 주파수 다이버시티와 다중 사용자 다이버티시를 이용하여 링크 성능을 항샹시킬 수 있다. 또한, 적은양의 궤환정보를 위해 모든 부채널 대신 하나의 OFDM심볼을 기준으로 적응 변조 기법을 사용한다. 모의 실험에서는 본 논문에서 제안한 기법이 적절한 계산복잡도를 가지면서도 상당한 링크 성능 향상이 있음을 보여주고자 한다.
