Abstract

This paper proposes a robust detection scheme for quasi-orthogonal space-time block code over time-selective fading channels. The proposed detector performs interference cancellation and decision feedback equalization to remove the inter-antenna interference and inter-symbol interference when the channel varies from symbol to symbol. Cholesky factorization is used on the channel Gram matrix after performing interference cancellation to obtain feed forward equalizer and feedback equalizer. It is shown by simulations that the proposed detection scheme outperforms the conventional detection schemes and the exiting detection schemes to time-selectivity.

본 논문은 시간 선택적 페이딩 (time-selective fading) 채널에 강인한 준직교 시공간 블록 부호(quasi-orthogonal space-time block code) 검출 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 검출 기법은 간섭 제거를 수행하고, 채널이 심벌에서 심벌로 변할 때 안테나 간 간섭 또는 심벌 간 발생하는 간섭을 제거하기 위한 decision-feedback equalization 기능을 수행한다. Feed forward equalizer와 feedback equalizer를 얻기 위해 간섭제거를 수행한 후, 채널 Gram 행렬에 대해 Cholesky 분해를 사용한다. 실험 결과에 의해 제안된 검출 기법의 성능이 time-selectivity 환경에 적용하기 위해 기존에 제안되어온 검출 기법들에 비해 개선되었음을 보인다.
