Abstract

In this paper, we propose an improved analysis of transmission power of BTHP applied into the downlink multi-user (MU) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system. On the contrary to the conventional analysis that adopts the strong interference assumption for every users in the system, the proposed analysis approximates the characteristics of the actual interference components so that provides more accurate approximation of the transmission power than that from the conventional analysis. By computer simulations, it is observed that the proposed approximation is more accurate than the conventional one, especially in the case of 4-QAM modulation.

본 논문에서는 하향링크 다중사용자(multi-user, MU) 다중입출력(multi-input multi-ouput, MIMO) 시스템에 블록 Tomlinson-Harashima 전처리기(block Tomlinson-Harashima precoder, BTHP)를 적용했을 때, 시스템의 송신 전력에 대한 정확한 분석 결과를 제공하였다. 각 사용자별로 상위 사용자들로부터 전달되는 간섭신호를 BTHP를 통해 제거하는 과정에서 큰 간섭신호 가정을 이용한 기존의 분석과는 달리, 실제로 전달되는 간섭신호의 통계적 특성을 분석함으로써 향상된 정확도를 갖는 분석 방법을 제안하였고, 모의실험을 통해 제안한 분석 결과가 기존 결과보다 정확함을 확인하였다.
