Abstract

In this paper, we present an efficient cooperative transmission scheme for high speed 60GHz WPAN system. In 60GHz, the cooperative transmission with relay is effective scheme because signals are exceedingly attenuated according to the distance and the transmission is impossible when there is no LOS between transmitter and receiver. Moreover, the reliability of signal in destination can be improved by receiving data from a relay as well as a transmitter. However, the overall data rate is reduced because transmission time is more required for relay. To solve this problem, we propose a cooperative transmission scheme with RS-CC serial concatenated codes. In the proposed cooperative transmission scheme, the relay can reduce the transmission data size because the only parity bits of systematic RS code are transmitted after encoding by CC. But the computational complexity is increased at the relay and the destination.

본 논문에서는 60GHz WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) 시스템에서 릴레이를 이용한 협력 통신 기법을 제안하였다. 60GHz 대역은 LOS (Line-Of Sight)가 보장되어 있지 않은 경우 통신이 불가능하고 거리에 따른 신호 감쇄가 심하기 때문에 릴레이를 이용한 협력 통신 기법이 효과적이다. LOS가 존재하는 환경에서도 수신단이 송신단으로부터 받은 데이터뿐만 아니라 릴레이를 통해 데이터를 수신한다면 수신된 정보의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 하지만 이 경우에 송신단이 데이터를 전송하는 시간뿐만 아니라 릴레이가 데이터를 전송하는 시간이 필요하기 때문에 정보의 전송률이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 협력 통신 시스템에 적합한 Reed-Solomon(RS) code와 convolutional code(CC)의 직렬 연접 부호 구조를 이용하여 이러한 단점을 최소화 한다. 제안하는 협력 통신 기법은 릴레이에서 systematic RS code의 parity만을 convolutional code로 인코딩하여 전송하므로, 릴레이가 전송해야 하는 데이터의 양이 매우 적어 시스템의 전송 효율을 향상시킨다.
