Abstract

In this paper, a space-frequency coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SFC-OFDM) scheme with dual Viterbi decoder is proposed and analyzed. Here, two independent half-rate OFDM symbols are generated after convolutional coding of the binary source code. A dual Viterbi decoder is exploited to decode the demodulated sequences independently in the receiver, and their path metrics are compared. Accordingly, the recovered binary data in the proposed scheme are composed of the combination of the sequences having larger path metrics while those in a conventional system are simply the output of single Viterbi decoder. As a result, the proposed SFC-OFDM scheme has a better performance than the conventional one for all signal-to-noise power ratio.

본 논문에서는 이중 Viterbi 복호기를 가지는 공간-주파수 부호화된 직교 주파수분할다중화 방식을 제안하고 분석한다. 여기서는 이진 정보원 부호를 컨볼루션 부호화한 후 서로 독립적인 두 개의 반을 직교 주파수분할다중화 심볼이 생성된다. 수신기는 복조된 신호를 이중 Viterbi 복호기를 이용하여 독립적으로 복호하고, 이들의 경로 메트릭을 비교한다. 따라서 기존 시스템에서의 복구된 이진 데이터는 단순한 Viterbi 복호기의 출력으로 나타나는 반면 제안된 방식에서는 분절길이 내에서 큰 경로 메트릭을 가지는 부호열의 조합이 된다. 그 결과, 제안된 공간-주파수 부호화된 직교 주파수분할다중화 방식은 기존의 시스템에 비하여 모든 신호대 잡음비 영역에서 향상된 성능을 갖는다.
