Abstract

In this paper, we present an asymptotical analysis of channel capacity of Bell labs layered space-time (BLAST) architectures based on a zero-forcing (ZF) criterion in the sense of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We begin by introducing a new relationship related to multi-input multi-output (MIMO) channel capacity. We prove that Diagonal Bell Labs Space-Time (DBLAST) attains the lower bound for MIMO channels when interference nulling is carried out based on the ZF-criterion. An exact closed-form expression for the probability density function of the channel capacity is analyzed. Based on the asymptotic behavior of the channel capacity of each layer, closed-form expressions for the asymptotic ergodic capacity are derived for BLAST. Based on the analysis presented in this paper, we gain an insight on the channel capacity behavior for a MIMO channel. Computer simulation results have verified the validity and accuracy of the proposed analysis for a wide range of antenna array sizes.

본 논문에서는 신호 대 잡음 비의 관점에서 Zero-Forcing 기반의 BLAST(Bell Labs Layered Space-Time) 구조의 채널 capacity를 점근적으로 분석하고자 한다. MIMO 채널 capacity에 관한 새로운 관계를 소개하고, ZF에 기반한 간섭 무효화를 수행할 때 DBLAST(Diagonal BLAST)에 의해 MIMO 채널의 하한값에 이름을 증명한다. 채널 capacity의 확률 밀도 함수의 정확한 최종식을 분석하고, 각 계층의 채널 capacity의 점근적 현상에 기반한 점근적 ergodic capacity의 최종식을 BLAST에서 유도한다. 본 논문에서 다뤄진 분석에 의해 MIMO 채널의 capacity 현상에 대한 통찰할 수 있다. 모의 실험의 결과를 통해서, 본 논문에서 다뤄진 광범위한 안테나 배열 사이즈에 대한 분석의 타당성과 정확성을 보여주고자 한다.
