Abstract

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a attractive modulation scheme for high data rate transmission in frequency-selective channels. However, the time selectivity of wireless channel introduces intercarrier interference (ICI), and consequently degrades system performance. In this paper, we first propose a novel recursive algorithm for minimum mean squared error (MMSE) with successive interference cancellation (SIC). The proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the complexity of the MMSE-SIC scheme and achieve the same performance when optimal ordering is known. Also, the further reduced scheme of the proposed algorithm can be developed based on ICI properties, while preserving performance.

OFDM 방식은 주파수 선택적(frequency-selective) 채널 환경에서 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 효과적인 변조 기술이지만 시간 선택적(time-selective) 채널 환경에선 인접 채널간의 간섭(intercarrier interference) 현상으로 인해 시스템 성능이 저하되게 된다. 본 논문에선 먼저 MMSE(minimum mean squared error) 등화기와 직렬 간섭 제거방식(successive interference cancellation)이 결합된 MMSE-SIC 등화기법을 위한 새로운 recursive 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 최적의 검출 순서가 알려져 있을 경우 기존 MMSE-SIC 등화 방식의 복잡도를 크게 낮추면서도 동일한 성능을 나타낸다. 또한 ICI의 특성을 이용하여 어느 정도 성능을 유지하면서도 제안된 알고리즘의 복잡도를 보다 개선할 수 있다.
