Abstract

UFMC(Universal-Filtered Multi-carrier) and FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-carrier) system are receiving attention as candidate waveforms for 5G mobile communication system. But, these systems have high PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) problem because these systems use a number of subcarrier. In this paper, we propose DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) spreading based DFT-s(spreading)-UFMC system and DFT-s-FBMC system in order to overcome the PAPR drawback. In order to evaluate PAPR performance of the proposed systems, we design and simulate OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), UFMC, FBMC, DFT-s-OFDM, DFT-s-UFMC, DFT-s-FBMC system. As simulation results, each PAPR performance of DFT-s-OFDM system, DFT-s-UFMC system, and DFT-s-FBMC system rise by 2.7 dB, 2.8 dB, and 1.1 dB respectively by DFT spreading technique.

5세대 이동통신을 위한 후보 변조기술들로 다수의 부반송파를 사용하는 UFMC(Universal-Filtered Multi-carrier) 및 FBMC(Filter Bank Multi-carrier)가 주목받고 있다. 그러나 이러한 변조기술들은 다수의 부반송파 신호의 중첩으로 인하여 높은 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문은 5세대 이동통신을 위한 후보 변조기술들의 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위하여 DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) spreading 기법을 응용한 DFT-s(spreading)-UFMC 및 DFT-s-FBMC 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템들의 PAPR 성능을 비교 평가하기 위하여 기존의 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing), UFMC, FBMC, DFT-s-OFDM 시스템과 제안하는 DFT-s-UFMC, DFT-s-FBMC 시스템을 설계하고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 신호 특성 확인과 PAPR 성능 평가 및 비교 분석을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션의 결과로 DFT-s-OFDM과 같이 UFMC 및 FBMC에 DFT spreading 기법을 응용할 경우, 기존의 시스템 대비 각각 OFDM은 2.7 dB, UFMC는 2.8 dB, FBMC는 1.1 dB 정도 PAPR 성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.
