Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with space-time coding (STC) is a promising technology for future wireless communication systems. However, MIMO-OFDM systems are greatly impaired by large cochannel interference (CCI) from the multiple transmitters. In this paper, we propose pre-fast Fourier transform (FFT) multibeamforming based on MMSE(minimizing the mean squared error) for a MIMO-OFDM system to preserves the STC diversity and to remove the CCI. The improvement in bit error rate is investigated through computer simulation of a MIMO-OFDM system in a multipath channel with CCI.

시공간 부호화기법을 가진 MIMO(Multiple-input multiple-output)-OFDM(Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing)은 미래의 무선통신 시스템에서 성능향상을 위한 약속된 기술이다. 그러나 다중 송신기를 가진 다른 사용자에 따른 간섭과 다중경로의 지연신호에 따른 영향으로 성능이 크게 감소된다. 이 논문에서는 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에서 시공간 다이버스티를 유지하면서 이와 같은 간섭신호와 다중경로 지연신호를 효율적으로 제거하기 위하여 MMSE(minimizing the mean squared error) 기반의 pre-FFT 다중 빔형성기법을 제안한다. MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 제안된 다중 빔형성기법을 적용할 경우 성능 개선 효과를 CCI(Cochannel interference)를 가진 다중경로 채널환경에서 모의실험을 통하여 확인한다.
