초록

본 논문에서는 4개의 송신 안테나에서 full rate를 달성할 수 있는 준직교 QOSTF-OFDM(quasi-orthogonal space-time-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 full rate를 달성할 수 있지만 full diversity를 달성할 수 없기 때문에 수신기에서 diversity손실을 보상하기 위해 DAC-ZF(diversity advantage collection with zero forcing)수신 기법을 사용한다. 동일한 주파수 효율을 가진다는 가정하에서 제안된 방식은 full rate을 달성할 수 없는 다른 선형 직교 시공간 기법과 비교할 때 full rate를 달성할 수 있기 때문에 저 레벨(low level) 변조 기법을 적용함으로써 변조 이득(modulation advantage)을 얻을 수 있다. 모의 실험 결과 제안된 방식은 변조 이득과 collected 다이버시티 이득으로 인해 다른 직교 방식과 비교하여 더 높 BER성능을 얻을 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a full rate quasi-orthogonal space-time-frequency block coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(QOSTF-OFDM) that can achieve full symbol rate with four transmit antennas. Sincr: the proposed QOSTF-OFDM can not achieve full diversity, we use diversity advantage collection with zero forcing (DAC-ZF) decoder to compensate the diversity loss at receive side. At the same frequency efficiency, compared with linear orthogonal space-time codes which can not achieve full rate with four transmit antennas over complex constellations, low level modulation can be employed by proposed scheme due to its full rate, i.e., modulation advantage can be achieved. Due to modulation advantage and collected diversify advantage, the proposed scheme exhibits better BER performance than other orthogonal schemes.
