Abstract

In this paper, we propose a FD USE (frequency domain minimum mean square error) equalizer algorithm for MBOK DS-UWB (M-ary bi-orthogonal keying direct sequence UWB) systems considered as a PHY proposal for high-speed wireless communication in IEEE 802.15.TG3a. The conventional FD MMSE equalization scheme has a structural limit due to insertion of the cyclic prefix (CP) in all transmit packets, but the proposed scheme is able to equalize the channel effect without CP. In order to overcome channel estimation error by multipath delay, we introduce a moving FFT and a moving average scheme. Compared with conventional FD MMSE equalizer and the traditional TD (time domain) MMSE-RAKE receiver, the proposed FD MMSE equalizer has better BER performance and we demonstrate this result by computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 고속 무선 통신을 위한 IEEE 802.15.TG3a PHY proposal 중에서 MBOK DS-UWB (M-ary bi-orthogonal keying direct sequence UWB) 시스템의 수신기를 위한 개선된 방식의 FD MMSE (frequency domain minimum mean square error) equalizer 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘에서는 모든 전송 패킷에 CP (cyclic prefix)를 삽입해야 하므로 일반적인 SC (single carrier) 시스템에 적용할 경우 구조적인 제한이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 CP를 사용하지 않는 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 보다 정확한 채널 추정 및 보상을 위하여 MAF (moving average filter) 및 moving FFT 기법을 사용하여 수신 성능의 안정성을 증대시킴으로써 실내 무선 채널 환경에 보다 적합하도록 설계하였다. IEEE 802.15.TG3a 무선 채널 모델 환경에서의 성능 평가를 수행하고 일반적인 FDE 및 TD (time domain) MMSE-RAKE 수신기와의 성능 비교를 통해, 제안한 FD MMSE equalizer 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하였다.
