Abstract

In this paper, we perform interference cancellation in multiuser MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) relay network with improved Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF) relay protocols. The work of interference cancellation is followed by evolved NodeB (eNB), Relay Node (RN) and User Equipment (UE) to improve the error performance of whole transmission system with the explicit use of relay node. In order to perform interference cancellation, we use Dirty Paper Coding (DPC) and Thomilson Harashima Precoding (THP) allied with detection techniques Zero Forcing (ZF), Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE), Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) and Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation (OSIC). These basic techniques are studied and improved in the proposal by using the functions of relay node. The performance is improved by Decode-and-Forward which enhance the cancellation of interference in two layers at the cooperative relay node. The interference cancellation using weighted vectors is performed between eNB and RN. In the final results of the research, we conclude that in contrast with the conventional algorithms, the proposed algorithm shows better performance in lower SNR regime. The simulation results show the considerable improvement in the bit error performance by the proposed scheme in the LTE-Advanced system.

본 논문에서는 개선된 AF(Amplify-and-Forward)와 DF(Decode-and-Forward) Relay 프로토콜을 결합한 다중 사용자 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) Relay 네트워크에서 간섭 제거 기술을 논의 한다. 간섭 제거 기술은 Relay 노드가 적용된 전체 전송 시스템의 오류 성능을 향상시키기 위해 eNB(evolved NodeB), Relay 노드(RN: Relay Node)와 UE(User Equipment)에 의해 이루어진다. 간섭 제거를 수행하기 위해 ZF(Zero Forcing), MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error), SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation)와 OSIC(Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation)가 적용된 DPC(Dirty Paper Coding)와 THP(Thomilson Harashima Precoding)를 사용하였다. 이러한 기본적인 기술이 적용된 Relay 노드 기능들이 연구되고 개선된다. 협력 Relay 노드에서 두 계층 간의 간섭 제거를 강화한 DF는 성능을 향상시킨다. eNB와 RN간의 가중치 벡터를 사용하여 간섭 제거가 수행된다. 연구 최종 결과, 기존의 알고리즘과 비교하여 제안된 알고리즘이 낮은 SNR에서 더 좋은 성능을 나타냈다. 모의실험 결과 LTE-Advanced 시스템에서 제안된 기법이 오류 성능 면에서 상당한 향상을 나타냈다.
