Abstract

In this paper, the new technique combing power control with Pre-FFT beamforming is proposed for MIMO(multi-input multi-output)-OFDM(orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system. As combining the proposed power control with beamforming, we can iteratively control the transmittingpower and update the weight of beamformer together. And then, the beam is formed toward the desired direction and SNIR of each subcarrier is converged to target SNIR. Therefore, the performance of MIMO-OFDM system is very improved. BER performance improvement of the proposed approach is investigated through computer simulation by combining power allocation algorithm with MIMO-OFDM system using Pre-FFT beamformer

이 논문에서는 Pre-FFT 빔 형성기를 가진 MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Out)-OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)시스템 구조에 적합한 적응 빔 형성기법과 결합된 전력제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 전력제어 기법과 적응 빔형성기법이 결합되어 송신전력을 제어하는 과정과 빔형성기 계수를 갱신하는 과정이 시간적으로 함께 iterative하게 이루어져서 수렴하게 되면 원하는 방향으로 빔이 형성되고 각 부반송파별로 원하는 SNIR 값에 수렴하게 되어 다중 사용자 환경에서 성능개선 효과를 얻을 수 있다. Pre-FFT 빔 형성기를 가진 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 전력 제어기법을 결합할 경우 시스템의 성능 개선 효과를 모의 실험을 통하여 확인한다.
