Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new CL-OSTBC (Closed Loop Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code) scheme for four transmit antennas and compare the scheme with existing closed loop schemes on the performance of BER (Bit Error Rate). In the proposed scheme, a transmitter receives channel feedback information and combines modulated symbols by the symbol combiner, and transmits the symbols encoded by the space-time block encoder. As a result, the proposed scheme achieves full-rate and maximal channel gains by more efficient utilization of the channel feedback information. Moreover, the scheme can reduce computation complexity by using a linear detector. Simulation results on the BER performance show that the proposed CL-OSTBC scheme outperforms existing CL-OSTBC schemes.

본 논문에서는 4개의 송신 안테나를 사용하는 새로운 폐루프 직교 시공간 블록 부호 (Closed Loop Orthogonal Space-Time Block Code) 기법을 제안하고 기존의 폐루프 기법들과 비트오율 (Bit Error Rate; BER) 성능을 비교한다. 제안된 기법은 송신기에서 폐루프 기법을 통하여 채널 정보를 귀환받고 심벌 결합기를 통해 변조 심벌들을 결합한 후 시공간 블록 부호화하여 송신 안테나로 전송한다. 그 결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 폐루프 시공간 블록 부호 기법에 비해 귀환된 채널 정보를 보다 효율적으로 이용함으로써 최대의 채널 이득을 획득하는 동시에 full-rate을 만족한다. 또한 채널 행렬이 직교하므로 수신 심벌에 대한 선형적인 복호가 가능하며 수신기는 낮은 복호 복잡도를 갖게 된다. 모의실험 결과, 제안된 기법은 기존의 폐루프 기법들과 비교하여 성능 향상을 보임을 알 수 있다.
