Abstract

In this paper, we show that performance can be improved by using multiple antennas in the conventional orthogonal code hopping multiplexing (OCHM) scheme, which was proposed for accommodating a larger number of users with low channel activities than the number of orthogonal codewords used in code division multiple access (CDMA)-based communication systems through downlink statistical multiplexing. First, we introduce two different types of OCHM systems together with orthogonal codeword allocation strategies, and then derive their mathematical expression for log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values according to the two different schemes. Next, when a turbo encoder based on the LLR computation is used, we evaluate performance on the frame error rate (FER) for the aformentioned OCHM system. For comparison, we also show performance for the existing symbol mapping method using multiple antennas, which was used in 3GPP standards. As a result, it is shown that our OCHM system with multiple antennas based on the proposed orthogonal codeword allocation strategy leads to performance gain over the conventional system---energy required to satisfy a target FER is significantly reduced.

본 논문에서는 CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) 기반 통신 시스템에서의 가용한 직교 부호의 수보다 많은 수의 사용자 수용을 위해 제안된 하향링크 통계적 다중화 기법인 기존 OCHM (Orthogonal Code Hopping Multiplexing) 기술에 다중 안테나를 사용함으로써 성능이 향상될 수 있음을 보인다. 먼저 직교 부호 할당 방식에 따른 두 가지 다른 OCHM 시스템을 소개하고, 이를 LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio) 값 계산법에 적용 시 나타내어지는 수식 표현을 유도한다. 다음으로, 유도된 LLR 값에 기반을 두어 터보 부호기를 사용할 때, 언급한 OCHM 시스템의 FER (Frame Error Rate) 성능을 검증한다. 또한 비교를 위해 기존 3GPP 표준에서 사용되는 다중 안테나 심벌 매핑 방식의 성능도 분석한다. 결과적으로, 제안된 직교 부호 할당 방식을 적용한 다중 안테나 기반 OCHM 시스템이 기존 시스템 대비 목표 FER을 만족하는데 있어서 에너지 감소 측면에서 상당한 이득이 있음을 확인한다.
