본 논문에서는 협력 빔형성(Coordinated Multi-Point Coordinated Beamforming : CoMP CB) 시나리오에서 인접한 사용자들 때문에 발생되는 간섭(Inter User Interference : IUI)을 제거하기 위해 사용된 Block Diagonal Geometric Mean Decomposition(BD-GMD)기반의 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 Successive Signal to Leakage plus Noise Ratio(SSLNR) 환경에서의 ZF(Zero-Forcing)에 적용하여 누출 전력을 제거한다. 또 IUI 제거 알고리즘을 사용했을 시 문제가 되는 원하는 신호 전력(Desired signal power)의 크기를 크게 보장할 수 없다는 점을 보완하기 위해 적절한 채널 열 순열(Channel ordering)을 수행하여 원하는 신호의 전력을 높인다. IUI 제거 알고리즘 사용과 적절한 채널 열 순열을 통해 기존의 SSLNR-Zero-Forcing Tomlinson Harashima precoding(ZF-THP) 기법보다 더 나은 비트오류확률(Bit Error Rate : BER)성능을 낼 수 있다.

In practical wireless systems, the erroneous channel state information (CSI) sometimes deteriorates the performance drastically. This paper focuses on robust design of coordinated set planning of coordinated multi-point (CoMP) transmission, with respect to the feedback delay and link error. The non-ideal channel models involving various uncertainty conditions are given. After defining a penalty factor, the robust net ergodic capacity optimization problem is derived, whose variables to be optimized are the number of coordinated base stations (BSs) and the divided area's radius. By the maximum minimum criterion, upper and lower bounds of the robust capacity are investigated. A practical scheme is proposed to determine the optimal number of cooperative BSs. The simulation results indicate that the robust design based on maxmin principle is better than other precoding schemes. The gap between two bounds gets smaller as transmission power increases. Besides, as the large scale fading is higher or the channel is less reliable, the number of the cooperated BSs shall be greater.

Coordinated multi-point transmission is a candidate technique for next-generation cellular communications systems. We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information, which mitigates inter-cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method that considers both ICI and intra-cell orthogonality. Due to the influence of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method, by an average of 0.55bps/Hz for different numbers of total users per cell.

In this paper, we investigate the scheduling and power allocation for coordinated multi-point transmission in downlink long term evolution advanced (LTE-A) systems, where orthogonal frequency division multiple-access is used. The proposed scheme jointly optimizes user selection, power allocation, and modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection to maximize the weighted sum throughput with fairness consideration. Considering practical constraints in LTE-A systems, the MCSs for the resource blocks assigned to the same user need to be the same. Since the optimization problem is a combinatorial and non-convex one with high complexity, a low-complexity algorithm is proposed by separating the user selection and power allocation into two subproblems. To further simplify the optimization problem for power allocation, the instantaneous signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and the average SINR are adopted to allocate power in a single cell and multiple coordinated cells, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the average system throughput and the cell-edge user throughput significantly compared with the existing schemes with limited feedback.

본 논문은 저전력 통신을 위하여, 압축 센싱에 적용한 QAPM 변조 방식을 제안한다. QAPM 변조 방식은 QAM 변조 방식과 PPM 변조 방식을 결합한 방식으로써, 자리(PPM의 posion) 개수가 늘어날수록 심볼 간의 거리가 멀어져 BER 성능과 전력 효율을 향상시킨다. 또한, 자리개수를 늘릴수록 대역이 손실 발생될 수 있으나, 성김(sparsity) 특성은 증가된다. 이러한 높은 성김 특성은 Nyquist 속도 이하의 샘플링으로도 완전하게 신호를 복원할 수 있는 압축 센싱에 적용하기에 매우 적합하다. 따라서 본 논문은 압축 센싱에 적용된 QAPM 시스템이 수신기에 있는 ADC(Analog Digital Converter)의 부담을 줄이면서도 BER 성능을 향상시키는 저전력 시스템임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.
