Abstract

In cellular OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) systems, each subcarrier may suffer from different amount of interferences from neighbor cells. Suppose that it is possible to accurately estimate inter-cell interferences for each subcarrier, the performance can be considerably improved by applying SINR(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) weighting. This paper proposes an inter-cell interference estimation method for cellular OFDMA systems. The proposed method extracts amounts of noise and interferencesby eliminating the channel variation effects of pilot symbols caused by frequency offset, timing offset mobile velocity, and delay spread.

셀률러 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서는 각 부반송파별로 주변 셀에서 오는 간섭의 양이 다를 수 있다. 만일 각 부반송파에 대해서 주변 셀로부터 오는 간섭의 양을 정확히 측정할 수 있다면 SINR(Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) weighting을 통해서 성능을 대폭 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 셀률러 OFDMA 시스템에서의 셀간 간섭의 양을 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 각 파일럿 심벌들이 겪는 주파수 오차, 타이밍 오차, 단말의 이동 속도, 딜레이 스프레드에 의한 채널 변화의 영향을 제거하고 순수한 잡음 및 간섭에 의한 채널 변화를 측정한다.
