3GPP는 WCDMA의 3세대 이동통신 표준화 이후 HSDPA, MBMS, HSUPA 등의 기술을 지속적으로 추가하여 3세대 이동통신 시스템을 개량해 왔다. 또한 2005년부터는 OFDMA/SC-FDMA 전송방식을 기반으로 하는 LTE 표준화를 진행해 왔다. 현재는 ITU-R의 IMT-Advanced 표준을 위해 LTE를 개선한 LTE-Advanced를 준비하고 있다. LTE-Advanced는 IMT-Advanced 표준의 유력한 후보 중 하나로 사업자들의 폭넓은 지지를 받고 있다. 이에 본 고에서는 3GPP에서 추진하고 있는 LTE 표준 기술과 LTE-Advanced 표준화 동향을 살펴보고자 한다.

Relay-assisted multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technique has become a promising candidate for next generation broadband wireless communications for high speed access. In this paper, we propose channel selective relay-based MIMO transmission system. The performance of relay-based system can be improved by using the subcarriers selectively based on the channel condition between relay and mobile station. Simulation results show that the proposed relay-based system considerably outperforms the conventional relay-based system.

Recently, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed sidehaul system to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. The sidehaul system is based on single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FMDA) due to its low peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Also, antenna array is designed to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO) in a restricted space. In this paper, we design the antenna array about uniform linear array (ULA), uniform circular array (UCA) and uniform planar array (UPA), and analysis the performance in sidehaul system. In addition, we propose the novel hybrid receiver full suppression cancellation (FSC) to reduce the interference from neighbor cell in sidehaul system. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by combining interference rejection combining (IRC) with successive interference cancellation (SIC).

전 세계적으로 2세대 및 3세대 무선이동통신 서비스의 성공적인 상용화에 힘입어 현재 3.5세대 이동통신시스템의 상용화 단계까지 이르렀다. 한걸음 더 나아가 3GPP/3GPP2에서는 MT-2000 고도화시스템에 대한 표준화 작업이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 각 표준화 기구에서 제시한 향후 표준화 일정 및 현재의 기술개발 추세로 미루어 볼 때 수년 내에 무선통신시스템의 새로운 장이 펼쳐질 것으로 기대된다. 특히 3GPP에서는 기존 3G-WCDMA 무선접속기술 대신에 하향 OFDMA 및 상향 SC-FDMA 무선접속기술을 이용하는 E-UTRA/UTRAN 시스템의 표준화 작업을 진행하고 있다. 특히 이 표준화 작업에 전 세계 운영회사, 제조사, 표준화 기구 및 관련종사자들의 관심이 어느 때보다 높기 때문에 표준 기술의 논의 및 검증이 더 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이는 표준기술 완성도를 높여 향후 발간될 LTE 시스템의 경쟁력 제고에 크게 이바지 할 것으로 예상된다. 현재 LTE 표준화 작업은 3단계로 나누어 진행되어 왔으며 2006년 3월 현재 마지막 세 번째 단계를 막 시작하는 시기에 있다. 이에 즈음하여 본기고문에서는 LTE 표준기술의 이해를 돕고 및 향후 표준화에 대한 향방을 가늠하는데 일부 도움을 제공하기 위해 현재까지 진행된 물리계층 표준기술 및 향후 해결해야할 문제들에 대해서 개념위주로 기술하였다. 기고문은 LTE 시스템 요구사항 및 향후 일정을 서론부에 제시하고 이어 E-UTRAN 프로토콜 구조, 상 하향 무선접속 기술, 물리계층 기술표준 현황, 그리고 마지막으로 맺음말의 순으로 구성되어 있다.

The closed-loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system has been adopted by long term evolution (LTE) system. Many techniques are proposed to enhance the transmission of LTE's advanced version to meet the increasing requirement, in which differential codebook gains a lot of interest. Previous researches on designing differential codebooks focused on quasi-diagonal unitary matrix which cannot guarantee the equal gain property. The equal gain property is very important to uplink because the performance of uplink is very sensitive to the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In this paper, we derive the analytical expression of average bit error rate and PAPR for differential precoding MIMO system. Using the analytical results, we investigate the performances of several differential precoding schemes considering non-linear amplifier at the transmitter. Some selected simulation results indicate that the conventional differential precoding schemes have good performances without the consideration of non-linear amplifier. While considering non-linear amplifier, the proposed differential codebook outperforms other differential precoding schemes because it maintains the equal gain per transmit antenna.

While the cyclic prefix lengths of downlink OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) systems are determined based on the maximum delay spreads encountered in cellular environments, the guard interval of uplink OFDMA systems should consider the timing offsets of uplink signals as well as the delay spread lengths. Especially in the cases of initial accesses, handovers, and considerable time elapsed without data transmissions between base and mobile stations in a large cell, uplink timing offsets can be large and a very long guard interval length may be required. In order to keep the small size of the cyclic prefix in uplink OFDMA systems, the systems require a method of extending the guard intervals for users with large timing offsets without affecting the cyclic prefix length of the system. This paper proposes a method extending the guard intervals of individual users in uplink OFDMA systems.

Recently, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed device-to-device (D2D) communication to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. The D2D communication uses sidelink based on single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FMDA) due to its low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR). In addition, demodulation reference signal (DMRS) is designed to support multiple input multiple output (MIMO). In this paper, we propose the DFT-based channel estimation scheme for sidelink in D2D communication. The proposed scheme uses the 2-Dimensional Minimum Mean Square Error (2-D MMSE) interpolation scheme for the user moving at a high speed. We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-Advanced system. Simulation results show that the proposed channel estimation scheme can improve signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), throughput and spectral efficiency of conventional scheme.
