Abstract

In this paper, we compare the existing channel estimation technique for 4S (Ship to Ship, Ship to Shore) maritime communications under AWGN channel model, Rician fading channel model, and Rayleigh fading channel model respectively. In general, the received signal is corrupted by multipath and ISI (Inter Symbol Interference). The estimation of a time-varying multipath fading channel is a difficult task for the receiver. Its performance can be improved if an appropriate channel estimation filter is used. The simulation is performed in MATLAB. In this simulation, we use the popular estimation algorithms, LMS (Least Mean Square) and RLS (Recursive Least-Squares) are compared with respect to AWGN, Rician and Rayleigh channels.

본 논문에서는 4S (Ship to Ship, Ship to Shore) 해상통신을 위해 다른 채널 조건 하에서 기존의 채널 추정 기법을 비교하였다. 일반적으로 수신 신호는 다중경로나 부호 간 간섭에 의해 손상을 받게 된다. 시간 변화 다중 페이딩 채널의 추정은 수신기에서 어려운 작업이며, 적절한 채널 추정 필터를 사용함으로써 수신기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 모의실험은 MATLAB을 사용하여 AWGN (Additive White Gaussian Noise), Rician, Rayleigh 채널에서 채널 추정 알고리즘으로 주로 사용되어지는 LMS (Least Mean Square)와 RLS (Recursive Least-Squares) 알고리즘을 비교 하였다.
