Abstract

Relay-assisted multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technique has become a promising candidate for next generation broadband wireless communications. In this paper, we propose maximum ratio combining (MRC) minimum mean-square-error (MMSE) equalization for single carrier-frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) in amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying networks. The performance of SC-FDE system can be improved considerably by achieving both the diversity gain and the MMSE equalization gain when the signals from source-destination (S->D) and source-relay-destination (S->R->D) are combined and equalized by means of the MMSE criteria. We find the weighting coefficients of MRC combining and the tap coefficients of MMSE equalizer for SC-FDE in AF relaying networks. Simulation results show that the proposed relay-based system considerably outperforms the conventional SC-FDE system.

중계기를 활용한 다중 입출력 기술이 차세대 광대역 무선 이동 통선의 유력한 후보로 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AF (amplify-and-forward) 방식 중계기 네트워크에서 SC-FDE (single carrier-frequency domain equalizer)를 위한 MRC (maximum ratio combining) MMSE (minimum mean-square-error) 등화 기법을 제안한다. 송신국과 수신국 간의 전송 신호와, 중계기를 통한 송신국과 수신국 간의 전송 신호를 MRC 방식으로 합쳐 MMSE 등화 기법을 적용하면 다이버시티 이득과 MMSE 등화 이득을 모두 획득하여 SC-FDE 시스템의 수신 성능을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다. AF 방식 중계기 네트워크에서 SC-FDE를 위한 MRC 계수 및 MMSE 등화탭의 수식을 정확히 도출하여 제시하고, 실험 결과를 통해 성능 향상을 확인한다.
