Abstract

OFDMA systems solves frequency selective fading problem and provides improved performance by optimal allocation of subcarriers and transmit power. Two-way relay systems provide improved spectral efficiency compared to that of the conventional half-duplex relay using bidirectional communications. In legacy OFDMA system such as WiBro, two-way DF relay utilization causes pilot re-assignment and impossibility of channel estimation and decoding at relay nodes by self-interference. In this paper, resource allocation schemes for legacy OFDMA systems with two-way DF relay are proposed. The proposed schemes allocate subcarriers considering destinations nodes which are connected to relay nodes as individual nodes which are directly connected to a base station. Subsequently, the proposed schemes compensate bandwidth loss due to orthogonal allocations by overlapped allocating unused subcarriers at other noes. Numerical simulations show that the proposed resource allocation schemes provide improved performance compared with orthogonal allocation.

OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) 시스템은 주파수 선택적 페이딩 문제를 효율적으로 해결하며 최적의 부반송파 및 송신 전력을 할당함으로써 보다 향상된 성능을 얻는다. Two-way 릴레이는 양방향 통신을 통해 기존의 반이중 릴레이보다 향상된 주파수 효율을 제공한다. WiBro와 같은 레거시 OFDMA 시스템에 two-way DF (decode-and-forward) 릴레이를 적용 시 파일롯 재배치 문제와 자가 간섭으로 인한 채널 추정 및 수신 신호 복호가 어려운 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 WiBro와 같은 레거시 OFDMA 시스템에 적합한 two-way DF 릴레이 자원 할당 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 릴레이와 연결된 노드를 기지국과 직접 통신하는 노드로 간주하여 부반송파를 할당한다. 그리고 다른 노드가 사용하지 않는 부반송파를 중첩 할당함으로써 직교 할당으로 발생하는 대역폭 손실을 보완한다. 전산모의실험을 통해 제안된 자원 할당 기법의 성능 향상을 검증한다.
