Abstract

LTE-Advanced system requires uplink multi-antenna transmission in order to achieve the peak spectral efficiency of 15bps/Hz. In this paper, the uplink MIMO system model for the LTE-Advanced is proposed and an efficient link adaptation shceme using precoding is considered providing error rate reduction and system capacity enhancement. In particular, the proposed scheme determines a transmission rank by selecting the optimal wideband precoding matrix, which is based on the derived signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) for the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) receivers of $2{\times}4$ multiple input multiple output (MIMO). The proposed scheme is verified by simulation with a practical MIMO channel model. The simulation results of average block-error-rate(BLER) reflect that the gain due to the proposed rank adapted transmission over full-rank transmission is evident particularly in the case of lower modulation and coding scheme (MCS) and high mobility, which means the severe channel fading environment.

LTE-Advanced 시스템은 최대 15bps/Hz의 주파수 효율을 달성하기 위해 상향링크 다중 안테나 전송을 지원해야 한다 본 논문은 LTE-Advanced 상향링크 MIMO 시스템 구조를 제안하고 프리코딩에 의한 링크 적응방식을 고려하여 단말당 오류율을 줄이고 시스템 용량을 향상시키는데 기여할 수 있다 특히, $2{\times}4$ MIMO 시스템에서 최적의 프리코딩 행렬을 선택하여 랭크를 결정하는 방식을 제안하고 MMSE(minimum mean squared error) 수신기에 대한 SINR(signal-to-interference and noise ratio)을 유도한다. 제안 방식의 성능 검증을 위해 실질적인 MIMO 채널 모델에서 BLER(BLock Error Rate) 시뮬레이션을 수행한다. 제안 방식이 full-rank로 고정해서 보내는 경우 보다 더 좋은 성능을 발휘하며 MCS가 낮거나 고속 이동시에 더 큰 이득을 얻을 수 있다.
