Abstract

The 3-step cell search has been considered for fast acquisition of the scrambling code unique to a cell in the W -CDMA system. In this paper, the performance of the cell search scheme is analyzed in Rayleigh fading channels. And the system parameters for cell search scheme and the design parameters for the receivers are examined. The probabilities of detection, miss and false alarm for each step are derived in closed forms based on the statistics of CDMA noncoherent demodulator output. Through the analysis, the effect of threshold setting and post detection integration for each step is investigated, and the optimal values of the power allocation for the synchronization channels are also considered. The number of post-detection integrations for each step is a design parameter for the receiver, and the optimum values may depend on not only the power allocation for each channel related to the cell search, but the false alarm penalty time. It is shown that optimal values could be determined through the analysis. Also, the cumulative probability distribution of the average cell search time is obtained.

W-CDMA 시스템에서 각 셀마다 고유하게 할당된 스크램블링 부호의 신속한 획득을 위해 3 단계 셀 탐색 기법의 사용이 고려되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 레일리 페이딩 채널에서 초기 셀 탐색 기법의 성능을 해석한다. 셀 탐색 방법에 대한 시스템 파라미터와 수신기의 설계 파라미터의 영향을 고찰한다. 각 단계마다 검파 확률과 실패 확률, 오경보 확률을 CDMA 넌코히런트 복조기 출력의 통계량을 근거로 하여 closed form으로 유도하였다. 해석을 통해 각 단계의 임계값과 사후 검파 적분의 효과를 고찰하였으며, 동기 채널들에 대한 최적의 전력비를 고찰하였다. 각 단계에 대한 사후 검파 적분의 횟수는 수신기에 대한 설계 파라미터이며, 그 최적값은 셀 탐색을 위한 채널의 전력 할당비 뿐 아니라 오경보 패널티 시간 등에 의존한다. 이들 파라미터의 최적값을 얻기 위해 본 논문의 해석이 사용될 수 있음을 보인다. 또한 해석을 통해 평균 셀 탐색 시간의 누적 확률 분포를 얻는다.
