Abstract

Recently, a multi-core system is studied for single terminal's operations on various service networks for mobile systems. Therefore, it is expected that mobile systems capable of supporting WCDMA, MC-CDMA, CDMA and WiBro would be developed. Mobile systems for supporting various service networks is able to be implemented on a single chipset via SoC(System one Chip) technology, thus a noble modem design proper for SoC technology is necessary. For high speed data transmission of 4G mobile communication services, OFDM scheme has to be applied. But, an OFDM signal consists of a number of independently modulated subcarriers, and superposition of these subcarriers cause a problem that can give a large PAPR. In this paper, a noble modem design for 4G mobile communication services and PAPR reduction method for solving the PAPR problem are proposed.

최근 모바일 시스템은 하나의 단말로 다양한 서비스망에서의 운용을 위한 Multi-core 시스템 형태로 연구되고 있다. 따라서 하나의 단말로 WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), MC-CDMA(Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access), CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), WiBro(Wireless Broadband)를 지원할 수 있는 모바일 시스템들이 출현할 것으로 예상된다. 다양한 서비스망을 지원하기 위한 모바일 시스템은 SoC(System one Chip) 기술과 더불어 하나의 칩셋으로 구현이 가능하며 그에 따른 모뎀 구조가 필요하다. 4세대 이동통신 서비스를 위한 시스템은 고속데이터 전송을 필요로 하므로 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식은 필수적으로 적용 되어야 한다. 그런데, OFDM 신호는 독립적으로 변조된 많은 부반송파들로 구성되므로 이들이 동 위상으로 더해질 때 신호의 진폭이 증가하여 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 4세대 이동통신 서비스를 위한 모뎀 구조를 제안하고 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위한 PAPR 감소 기법을 제안한다.
