Abstract

We propose a cancellation algorithm based on Alamouti coded OFDM to mitigate ICI due to Frequency Offset (FO) between distributed antennas in the frequency selective fading channel. In the cancellation algorithm, the interference signal is estimated by using the initial detection symbol and then the estimated interference signal is subtracted from the received signal. As the accuracy of initial symbol increases, ICI cancellation becomes more significant. Therefore, the accuracy of the initial detection symbols is very important in the cancellation algorithm. The proposed scheme improves the accuracy of the initial detection symbol by employing an ICI self-cancellation scheme. The proposed cancellation scheme with only one iteration achieves better performance compared to the conventional cancellation schemes with many times iterations based on the conventional Alamouti coded OFDM.

선택적 감쇄채널 환경에서 분산안테나 간 주파수 오차에 의한 부반송파 간 간섭을 효율적으로 제거하는 알라무티부호화 직교주파수분할다중방식(Alamouti coded OFDM) 기반 간섭제거 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 간섭제거 방식에서는 초기검출 심볼로부터 간섭신호를 추정하고 추정한 간섭신호를 원래 수신 신호에서 제거함으로써 성능을 개선시킨다. 이때 초기 검출 심볼의 정확도가 높을수록 제거되는 부반송파간 간섭량 또한 증가하므로 간섭제거 방식에서 초기 검출심볼의 정확도는 매우 중요하다. 제안하는 방식은 초기 검출심볼을 얻는 과정에서 주파수 오차에 의한 부반송파간 간섭의 일부를 자체제거하는 알라무티부호화 직교주파수분할다중방식을 사용함으로써 그 정확도를 높인다. 따라서, 제안하는 방식은 단 1회의 제거과정을 수행함에도 수회의 반복연산을 필요로 하는 기존의 알라무티부호화 직교주파수분할다중방식을 사용한 간섭제거 방식에 비해 개선된 성능을 가진다.
