Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the spectral efficiency of multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) scheme. First, we derive a generalized formula for the spectral efficiency according to the number of subcarriers involved in, code division multiplexing and the number of codes used (i.e., loading factor), under a given set of channel coefficients. Also, we derive a generalized formula for spectral efficiency of various reduced-complexity systems that divide the full sets of subcarriers into several groups of subcarriers for code division multiplexing. Then, through these derivations, we establish an inter-relationship between the frequency selectivity and diversity order according to the number of multipaths. From the results, we choose the smallest code length while maximizing the diversity effect, provide an optimum subcarrier allocation strategy, and finally suggest a system structure for capacity-maximizing under the smallest code length. Through numerical analyses under simulated environments, we analyze the properties of spectral efficiency of various systems with reduced complexity and choose a major contributing factors to system design and a better system design methodology. Finally, we compare the spectral efficiency of the MC-CDMA scheme and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme to make a relationship between both schemes.

본 논문에서는 다중 반송파 코드 분할 다중 접속 (MC-CDMA: multicarrier code division multiple access) 방식의 주파수 효율을 분석한다. 먼저, 코드 분할 다중화에 사용되는 부반송파 개수와 사용 중인 코드 개수 (부하율), 주파수 영역 채널 계수에 따른 MC-CDMA 방식의 주파수 효율에 대한 일반식을 유도한다. 또한, 전체 부반송파를 여러 개의 그룹으로 분할하여 다중화 복잡도를 줄일 수 있는 다양한 MC-CDMA 전송 방식들의 주파수 효율에 대한 일반식도 유도한다. 이를 통하여, 다중 경로 개수에 따른 채널의 주파수 선택도와 다이버시티 간의 상관관계를 정립하고, 이를 바탕으로 다이버시티를 최대로 얻기 위한 최소의 코드 길이와 최적 부반송파 할당 방법을 도출함으로써, 최소의 길이를 갖는 코드들을 사용하여 주파수 효율을 최대화 할 수 있는 시스템 구조를 제시한다. 모의실험 환경에서의 수치적인 분석을 통하여, 다양한 시스템 구조에 따른 주파수 효율의 특성을 분석하며, 주파수 효율에 결정적인 영향을 주는 시스템 구성 방법과 파라미터들을 도출한다. 마지막으로, 주어진 채널 환경에서 MC-CDMA 방식과 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 (OFDM: orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 방식의 주파수 효율을 비교함으로써 상호관계를 설정한다.
