Abstract

For orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), cyclic prefix (CP) should be longer than the length of channel impulse response, resulting in a loss of bandwidth efficiency. In this letter, the CP reconstruction (CPR) technique is first applied to a multi-input multi-output (MIMO)-OFDM system with insufficient CP. The intercarrier interference (ICI) from multiple transmit antennas is so large for MIMO system that it can not be sufficiently suppressed with the conventional CPR procedure used in single-input single-output (SISO) system. A new minimum mean-square error (MMSE) equalization and ordering process is proposed for MIMO system to suppress the ICI during the CPR procedure. By applying the proposed CPR algerian to MIMO-OFDM system, we can obtain both the benefits of multiplexing gai and spectral efficiency gain.

OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템에서 신호를 전송하고자 할 때, 다중 경로 채널에 의한 간섭을 없애기 위해 사이클릭 프리픽스 (CP: cyclic prefix)는 채널 충격 응답보다 길어야 한다. 그러나, 이러한 CP의 사용은 주파수 효율을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 CP 재생성 기법을 불충분한 CP을 갖는 MIMO (multi-input multi-output)-OFDM에 처음으로 적용한다. MIMO 시스템의 경우, 다중 전송 안테나로부터의 ICI (intercarrier interference)가 매우 크기 때문에 SISO (single-input single-output) 시스템에서 사용된 기존의 CP 재생성 절차를 이용하면 ICI 성분을 충분히 줄일 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 CP 재생성 과정에서 ICI 성분을 줄이기 위해 새로운 MMSE (mimum mean-square error) 등화기와 오더링 (ordering) 과정을 제안한다. MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 제안된 CP 재생성 과정을 적용함으로써, 멀티플렉싱 이득과 주파수 효율 이득을 동시에 얻을 수 있다.
