Abstract

This paper proposes symbol decoding schemes combined with channel estimation techniques for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (COFDM) systems in fading channels. sThe proposed symbol decoding schemes are consisted of a symbol decoding technique and channel estimation techniques. The symbol decoding based on Viterbi algorithm is achieved by matching the length of branch word from encoder trellis to the codeword length of symbol candidate on decoder trellis. Three combination schemes are described and their error performances are compared. The first scheme is to combine a symbol decoding technique with a training channel estimation technique. The second scheme joins a decision directed channel estimation technique to the first scheme. The time varying channel transfer functions are tracked by the decision directed channel estimation technique and the channel transfer functions used in the symbol decoder are updated every COFDM symbol. Finally, In order to reduce the effect of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) between adjacent subchannels, deinterleaved average channel estimation technique is combined. The error performances of the three schemes are significantly improved being compared with that of zero forcing equalizing schemes.

본 논문에서는 페이딩 채널환경에서 COFDM 시스템에 대한 채널 추정과 결합된 심볼 검출 방법에 대해 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 1) 심볼의 길이에 채널 부호화기의 코드워드 길이를 배합하는 기법과, 2) 세가지 채널 추정 기법과의 조합으로 나타내었다. 첫째 방법은 훈련 신호를 이용한 채널추정 기법과 제안한 심볼 검출 기법을 결합시킨 것이며, 둘째 방법은 첫째 방법에 결정지향 채널추정(Decision-Directed Channel Estimation) 기법을 결합시킨 방법이다. 마지막으로, 근접 부채널간의 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise)의 영향을 줄이기 위해 디인터리브된 평균 채널추정(Averaged Channel Estimation) 기법을 둘째 방법에 결합시켰다. 제안한 3가지 방법들은 영 강압 등화(Zero Forcing Equalizing)방법과 비교하여 커다란 성능 개선 효과가 있음을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증하였다.
