초록

다중 안테나는 송신부가 채널상태정보(CSI : channel state information)를 알고 있으면 높은 채널용량을 제공할 수 있다. 프리코딩(precoding)이란 송신부 측에서 CSI를 이용하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 HMP (hybrid multiple-input multiple-output precoding)라 부르는 적응적인 프리코딩 방법을 제시한다. HMP 는 선형과 비선형 프리코딩을 조합한 기술이다. 기존 안테나 선정방법은 4개 이하의 안테나를 사용하나 HMP 방법은 5개 이상의 안테나를 사용한다. 채널 용량을 극대화시키기 위해 주어진 채널 중에서 반드시 선택 되어야하는 채널을 좋은 채널 (good channel)이라 하며, 나쁜 채널 (bad channel) 은 나머지 채널을 의미한다. HMP 방법에서는 좋은 채널에 비선형 프리코딩을 사용하고, 나쁜 채널에 선형 프리코딩을 사용한다. 비선형 프리코딩으로서 고려되고 있는 것은 널리 알려진 THP(Tomlinson-Harashima precoding)이다. 기존 방법인 BD(block diagonalization), antenna selection 및 THP와 제안한 HMP 방법의 성능을 비교하기 위해 이 시스템이 달성할 수 있는 throughput MSE (minimum square error)를 제시하였다.

Multiple antennas can provide huge capacity gains when the transmitter knows the channel state information (CSI). Precoding is a technique that exploits CSI at the transmitter side. In this paper, an adaptive precoding scheme is proposed, called a hybrid multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) precoding (HMP). HMP is a combination of linear and nonlinear precoding. The number of transmit antennas less than or equal to four is as same as the conventional antenna selection scheme. Therefore, the HMP scheme uses more than four transmit antennas. The good channel means that the channels must be selected to maximize the channel capacity among the given channels, and the rest channels are called bad channel. In HMP scheme, we use the nonlinear precoding in the good channels and the linear precoding in the bad channels. The well-known Tomlinson-Harashima precoding (THP) is considered as nonlinear precoding. The system throughput and MSE (minimum square error) are shown for the performance of HMP scheme compared to the conventional schemes which are BD (block diagonalization), antenna selection and THP.
