Abstract

To increase throughput efficiency and improve performance, FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) method and LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) codes are employed in DVB-S3 system. In this paper, we proposed efficient turbo equalization model to minimize inter symbol interference induced by FTN transmission. This paper introduces two conventional scheme employing SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) and BCJR equalizer. Then, we proposed new scheme to resolve problems in this two conventional scheme. To make performance improved in turbo equalization model, the outputs of LDPC and BCJR equalizer are iteratively exchange probabilistic information. In fed LDPC outputs as extrinsic informa tion of BCJR equalizer. we split LDPC output to separate bit probabilities. We compare performance of proposed scheme to that of conventional methods through using simulation in AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) channel. We confirmed that performance was improved compared to conventional methods as increasing throughput parameters of FTN.

본 논문은 위성 방송 시스템 표준안인 DVB-S3(Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite)에서 전송률을 높이기 위해 제안되는 Nyquist rate 보다 빠르게 전송하는 FTN(Faster Than Nyquist) 기법과 LDPC(Low Density Parity Code) 부호간의 연접 부호기 구성 시, 인접 심볼간 간섭을 최소화하면서 전송률을 높이기 위한 효율적인 터보 등화 복호 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 FTN 복호 방식인 SIC(Successive Interference Cancellation) 기법을 이용한 복호 기법과 BCJR 등화기법에 관하여 소개하고, 두 기존 방식의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 FTN 신호를 복호하기 위해 LDPC 복호 신호를 분리된 외부 입력값을 BCJR 등화기와 연접하여 계산하여 반복 복호한다. 기존의 두 방식과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식을 AWGN(Additive White Gausiian Noise) 채널 환경에서 시뮬레이션하여 성능을 비교한 결과, 기존의 방식과 비교하면 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있다.
