Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Multi-Strata Space Time Code(MSSTC) for MIMO retransmissions. Since MSSTC is constructed by superimposing two OSTBC matrices, there are no intra-stratum interferences, but there exist inter-strata interferences. In MIMO retransmission environment, the transmitter switches adaptively the phases of strata at each transmission by using 1-bit feedback sent from the receiver in order to reduce the inter-strata interferences efficiently. We also propose a power allocation scheme between strata to improve error performance. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance than other conventional schemes.

본 논문은 다중 안테나 시스템을 통한 재전송 환경에 적합한 Multi-Strata Space Time Code(MSSTC) 부호화 기법을 제안한다. MSSTC는 두 개의 직교 시공간 블록 부호(OSTBC)가 각 계층을 이루고 이들이 중첩되어 구성된 부호이기 때문에, 각 계층 내에는 간섭이 존재하지 않으나, 계층 간에는 간섭이 존재한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 각 계층을 구성하는 OSTBC의 위상과 전력을 전송순서 마다 적응적으로 바꾸어 할당해 줌으로써 계층 간 간섭이 재전송에 의해 빠른 속도로 완화되는 효과를 보인다. 제안된 기법에서는 수신단이 1 bit의 정보를 송신단으로 피드백하고 송신단은 이 피드백 정보를 이용하여 두 계층 중 한 계층만이 위상을 두 값 중 하나로 선택하도록 하므로 매우 효율적이다. 또한 본 논문은 제안된 기법에 적합한 계층 당 전력할당 비율을 해석적으로 구하여 적용하였다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법이 간섭 완화 효과로 인하여 기존 기법 들을 재전송환경에 적용한 방식들에 비해 우수한 성능을 보여줌을 확인하였다.
