Abstract

We propose a new beamforming algorithm, which is based on simplex downhill optimization method in the presence of pilot channels in cdma2000 reverse-link, for the rake structure antenna array in DS/CDMA communication system. Our approach uses the desired signal(pilot) covariance matrix and the interference covariance matrix. The beamforming weights are made according to maximum SINR criteria using simplex downhill optimization procedure. Our proposed scheme provides lower computational load, better convergence speed, better performance than existingadaptive beamforming algorithm. The simplex downhill method is well suited to finding the optimal or sub-optimal weight vector, since they require only the value of the deterministic function to be optimized. The rake beamformer performances are also evaluated under several set of practical parameter values with regard to spatial channel model. We also compare the performance between conventional rake receiver and the proposed one under same receiving power.

본 논문에서는 CDMA2000 역방향 링크에서 DS/CDMA 용 rake structure antenna away에 적용되는 새로운 방식의 simplex downhill 최적화 기법 빔포밍 알고리즘을 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법은 요구되는 신호(파일럿) 분산 행렬과 간섭 분산 행렬을 사용하고 있으며, 빔포밍 가중치들은 simplex downhill 최적화 알고리즘을 사용하여 최대 SINR 기준에 따라 만들어 졌다. 본 논문에서 제안한 구조는 기존의 적응 빔포밍 알고리즘보다 더 적은 계산량, 개선된 수렴 속도와 성능을 제공한다. Simplex downhill 방법은 최적화되기 위한 결정함수의 값만을 요구하기 때문에 최적화되거나 준최적화된 가중치 벡터를 찾기에 적합한 방식이다. 또한 rake beamformer 성능을 공간 채널모델에서의 여러종류 파라미터 값에 대하여 분석하였으며, 기존 방식의 rake 수신기와 제안된 방식을 동일한 수신 전력에서 비교 분석하였다.
