Abstract

Asynchronous OFCDM(Orthogonal Frequency and Code Division Multiplexing) systems must have a cell search process necessarily unlike synch개nous systems. this process is hewn initial synchronization and a three-step cell search algorithm is performed for the initial synchronization in the following three steps: OFCDM symbol timing, i.e., Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) window timing is estimated employing guard interval (GI) correlation in the first step, then the frame timing and CSSC(Cell Specific Scrambling Code) group is detected by taking the correlation of the CPICH(Common Pilot Channel) based on the property yielded by shifting the CSSC phase in the frequency domain. Finally, the CSSC phase within the group is identified in the third step. This paper proposes a modification group code with two or three block of the conventional CPICH based cell search algorithm in the second step which offers MS(Mobile Station) complexity reductions. however, the effect of the reduction complexity leads to degradation of the performance therefore, look for combination to have the most minimum degradation. the proposed block type group code with suitable combinations is the nearly sane performance as conventional group code and has a complexity reduction that is to be compared and verified through the computer simulation.

비동기 OFCDM 시스템은 동기 시스템과 달리 반드시 셀 탐색과정을 가져야 한다 이 과정을 초기 동기라고 하며 초기 동기를 위한 셀 탐색 방법이 다음과 같이 3단계 방법으로 수행된다. 셀 탐색 1 단계에서 보호구간의 상관을 이용한 OFCDM 심볼 동기 즉, FFT 윈도우 타이밍 추정과 탐색 2 단계에서는 주파수영역에서 CSSC(Cell Specific Scrambling Code) 위상 천이성질을 이용한 CPICH(Common Pilot Channel)의 상관을 획득함으로써 프레임 타이밍 및 CSSC 그룹을 검출하고 마지막으로 탐색 3 단계에서 그룹 안에 속한 CSSC 위상 즉, 최적의 CSSC를 얻게 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 CPICH를 기반으로 하는 3단계 셀 탐색과정 중 2단계에서 그룹을 나타내는 그룹코드를 블록형태로 변형하여 이동국의 복잡도를 줄인다. 그러나 복잡도를 줄이면 성능에 영향을 주지만 블록형태로 구성했을 때 최소의 성능열화를 가지는 조합을 찾는다. 제안된 적절한 조합을 가지는 블록형태의 그룹코드는 모의실험 통하여 기존의 그룹코드와 거의 동일한 성능을 유지하면서 복잡도를 줄일 수 있음을 비교 검증하였다.
