Adaptive Feedback Interference Cancellation Using Correlations for WCDMA Wireless Repeaters

WCDMA 용 무 선중계기에서 상관도를 이용한 적응적 궤환 간섭 제거

As the mobile communication service is widely used, the demand for wireless repeaters is rapidly increasing because of the easiness of extending service areas. But a wireless repeater has a problem that the output of the transmit antenna is partially fed back to the receive antenna, which results in feedback interference. In this paper, we propose a new varable step-size LMS algorithm, which utilizes correlation between reference and error signals to adjust the step sizes, for cancelling the feedback interference signals in the WCDMA repeater under time-varying multi-path channels. The proposed algorithm was investigated through computer simualation by being applied to the time-varying channels. The simulation results demonstrated that the proposed one is superior to the conventional ones in terms of cancelation perormance.
