Abstract

In OFDMA or SC-FDMA systems one can generate time varying channels or frequency selective channels using multiple transmit antennas to achieve diversity without special space-time processing at the receivers. While low channel coding rate needs to be used for distributed-allocation SC-FDMA systems with a phase rolling technique to produce time fluctuation, relatively high channel coding rate can be used when cyclic delay diversity is used to increase frequency selectivity assuming quasi-static channel. On the other hand, for block-hopping SC-FDMA systems there is no significant difference between two diversity techniques in terms of optimal channel coding rates.

OFDMA 및 SC-FDMA 시스템에서, 수신기에서 특별한 시공간 처리를 하지 않으면서 다이버시티를 얻기 위해서, 다수 안테나를 이용하여 시간축의 변화를 일으키거나 주파수 선택적 채널을 만들 수 있다. 분산할당 SC-FDMA 시스템에서 시간 변화를 발생하기 위해 위상 회전 기술을 사용하기 위해서는 낮은 채널부호화율을 적용하는 것이 필요하지만, 시간 변화가 적은 채널을 가정할 때 주파수 선택적 특성을 증가시키기 위하여 순환지연 다이버시티를 적용할 때에는 상대적으로 높은 채널부호화율을 적용하여도 무방하다. 이에 반해서 블록호핑 SC-FDMA 시스템에서는 두 개의 다이버시티 기술이 최적의 채널부호화율 측면에서 큰 차이를 가지지 않는다.
