Abstract

Multicarrier DS-CDAM is an effective approach to realize wideband CDMA system in a multipath fading channeal. In this paper, we propose a cinvolutionally-coded overlapped multicarrier DS-CDMA system, and show the performance improvement by comparing with conventional multicarrier DS-CDMA system. We consider the case of 50% overlapping with the adjacent subband to utilize the transmission bandwidth more efficiently. In the proposed multicarrier system, each of the rate 1/M convolutionally-encoded symbols is also 1/R repetition coded and transmitted using overlapped multicarriers and we may obtain the coding gain and frequency diversity effect, simultaneously. We also analyze the possibility of reduction in total MUI by considering a raised-cosine wave-shaping filter having a roll-off factor (0< ${\beta}{\le}1$). It will be shown that the proposed system outperforms the multicarrier DS-CDMA system in $^{[3]}$.

멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA는 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서 광대역 시스템의 구현에 효과적인 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 콘볼류션 코딩을 적용한 중복된 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA 시스템을 제안하고, 기존의 멀티캐리어 시스템과 비교하여 성능의 우수성을 입증한다. 제안된 멀티캐리어 DS-CDMA 시스템을 분할된 각 서브밴드를 가용주파수 대역 내에서 보다 효율적으로 구성하기 위하여 50% 중복 (overlapping) 된 구조를 갖도록 한다. 그리고 전송률이 1/M인 콘볼루션 채널코딩과 반복율이 1/R인 반복코딩을 적용하여 채널 코딩에 의한 이득과 주파수 다이버시티 (frequency diversity) 효과를 동시에 획득하고, 또한 MUI(Multiple User Interference)를 효과적으로 감소시키기 위하여 각 서브밴드의 확산신호에 raised-cosine 칩 성형필터를 적용하였다. 사용된 칩 성형필터의 rolloff 인자 (0< ${\beta}{\le}1$)의 변화에 따른 MUI를 분석하여 기존의 멀티캐리어 시스템의 성능보다 우수함을 보인다.
