Abstract

At coverage boundaries of cellular systems including the recent WiBro standard which operate with full frequency reuse for increased spectral efficiency, interference signals from the base stations(BS) of adjacent cells degrade the receiver performance. In this paper, a detection method for multiple-antenna mobile stations(MS) is proposed for downlink performance improvement at coverage boundaries of cellular systems. For the performance verification, we obtain the probability density function(pdf) of the effective signal-to-interference and noise ratio(SINR) according to the variation of the interference signals from adjacent cells as well as the number of MS antennas, and calculate the transmission efficiency. We also verify the performance of proposed method with simulation results, to demonstrate a significant performance improvement is achieved over the maximal ratio combining(MRC) and spatial demultiplexing(SD) methods in terms of the effective SINR and the spectral efficiency.

WiBro 시스템과 같은 최근 통신 시스템에서 대역폭 효율을 증가시키기 위해 모든 셀에서 주파수를 재사용하는 경우, 셀 경계에 위치하는 수신기는 인접 셀로부터 오는 간섭 신호로 인해 수신 성능이 열화된다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀 경계에서의 하향 링크 성능 향상을 위해, 다수 개의 안테나를 가진 단말기에서 활용할 수 있는 수신 방식을 제안한다. 성능 검증을 위하여 인접 셀의 간섭 신호 세기 및 단말기의 안테나 개수의 변화에 따른 유효 신호 대 간섭 잡음비의 화률 밀도 함수와 대역폭 효율을 산출한다. 제안하는 방식은 MRC(Maximum Ratio Combining) 및 SD(Spatial Multiplexing) 방식 대비 유효 신호 대 간섭 잡음비와 대역폭 효율을 큰 폭으로 향상시킴을 분석 결과로 확인할 수 있으며, 실험을 통해 그 결과를 검증한다.
