Abstract

In this paper, we proposes a D-STTD(Double-Space Time Transmit Diversity) communication system with AMC scheme and analyzes its performance using simulation experiments. The AMC scheme selects an optimal channel coding rate and modulation scheme based on the channel response data for signal transmission, creating a balance between error rate and throughput to improve the overall system throughput and transmission quality. The D-STTD scheme complements the conventional STTD(Space Time Transmit Diversity) scheme, yielding about twice the throughput. The simulation results show that the probability of selecting a high MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) level increased as the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) improved. Furthermore, the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme provided a more uniform throughput distribution throughout the entire SNR range compared to its counterpart which did not apply AMC scheme. Also, the maximum throughput of the D-STTD communication system with AMC scheme was twice that of a conventional AMC communication system or a STTD communication system with AMC scheme.

본 논문에서는 AMC(Adaptive Modulation and Coding)기법을 적용한 D-STTD(Double-Space Time Transmit Diversity) 통신 시스템을 제안하고, 모의실험을 통해 그 성능을 분석한다. AMC기법은 채널 응답의 정보를 바탕으로 적절한 채널 코딩율과 변조 기법을 선택하여 신호를 전송하는 기법으로 에러율과 전송률의 적절한 조화를 이끌어내어 전체 시스템의 전송률과 전송품질의 향상을 가져온다. D-STTD기법은 기존의 STTD(Space Time Transmit Diversity)기법을 전송률 측면에서 보완한 기법으로 STTD기법에 비해 약 2배의 전송률 향상을 가져온다. 모의실험 결과, SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio)이 좋아질수록 높은 MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme)레벨을 선택하는 확률이 높아지는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, AMC기법을 적용한 D-STTD 통신 시스템은 AMC기법을 적용하지 않은 D-STTD 통신 시스템에 비해 전 SNR구간에서 고른 전송률 분포를 나타냈다. 또한 AMC기법을 적용한 D-STTD 통신 시스템은 기존 AMC 통신 시스템, 혹은 AMC기법이 적용된 STTD 통신 시스템보다 2배 높은 최대 전송률을 나타내었다.
