Abstract

In this paper, the author presents the MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) receiver algorithm with the capability of inter-cell or inter-sector interference cancellation over multi-antenna OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) systems. As contrast with the previous research dealing with the filtering scheme at the time domain, the proposed algorithm is presented as the pre-filtering scheme which can be applicable to the frequency domain. Note that the proposed one can be implemented only by pilot symbols which are used in the channel estimation. In addition, it is analytically confirmed that the proposed scheme can be applied for either MIMO( C-SM(Collaborative-Spatial Multiplexing)) interference or SIMO(Single-Input Multi-Out) interference. The proposed receiver algorithm is verified by simulations over UL-PUSC SR off in IEEE 802.16e standard. From simulation results, it is confirmed that the proposed one can be applicable regardless of the kind of interference. Furthermore, it is verified that the performance is guaranteed even under Ole severe effect of interference and the improvement of system throughput is guaranteed.

본 논문에서는 다중안테나 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서의 인접 셀 혹은 인접 섹터 간섭제거 능력을 갖는 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) 수신 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시간축에서의 Filtering 기법에 관한 기존의 연구와는 다르게 주파수 영역에 적용이 가능한 Pre-filtering 기법을 채널 추정을 위한 파일럿 심벌만을 이용하여 구현하였다. 또한 제안된 기법은 간섭성분이 MIMO(C-SM(Collaborative-Spatial Multiplexing)) 뿐만이 아니라 SIMO(Single-Input Multi-Out)이더라도 적용이 가능함을 이론적으로 검증하였다. 그리고 제안된 수신 알고리즘을 검증하기 위하여 IEEE 802.16e 표준의 UL-PUSC SR off에서의 모의실험을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 제안된 알고리즘이 간섭 성분의 종류에 관계없이 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다. 또한 간섭 성분의 영향이 큰 경우에 대해서도 우수한 성능을 보장하여 시스템 Throughput 향상을 보장할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
