Abstract

SC-FDMA system uses DFT-spreading method for reducing the PAPR of OFDM signal, which improves the power efficiency. Block type pilot is used in SC-FDMA system. However, there are ICI due to the inevitable phase noise and frequency offset that can be generated from the Doppler frequency and inaccuracy between the transceiver oscillators. This ICI definitely degrades the BER performance. To overcome this problem and estimate the channel efficiently, we like to propose ICI compensation algorithm for the SC-FDMA system with comb type pilot. SLM method is additionally included for the PAPR reduction when pilot is assigned in comb type. Finally, it is confirmed that the ICI due to the phase noise and frequency offset is efficiently compensated by the suggested algorithm.

SC-FDMA(Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access)는 DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform)-spreading 방식을 사용하여 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 신호의 PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) 저감하여 전력효율을 향상시키는 방식이다. 그러나, PAPR을 저감하기 위하여 블록 type 파일럿을 사용하기 때문에 이동 환경에 따른 도플러 주파수와 송수신기 사이의 주파수 불일치로 인한 주파수 옵셋과 시간 도메인에서의 위상 잡음으로 주파수 도메인에서 ICI(Inter Channel Interference)가 발생하여 SC-FDMA 시스템의 성능은 저감된다. 그러므로 이동 환경 및 위상 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 comb type 파일럿을 고려하고, 이에 대한 PAPR을 감소시키기 위하여 SLM(Selective Mapping) 기법을 사용하며, 효과적인 채널 추정 및 ICI 제거를 위한 기법을 제안한다. 그러므로 기존 블록 type에 비해 comb type을 사용함으로써 이동 수신 성능이 향상될 수 있으며 효과적으로 주파수 옵셋 및 위상 잡음을 효과적으로 제거 가능함을 보인다.
