Abstract

In this paper we propose a Pre-rake system applied with a frequency domain equalizer in TDD/CDMA multi-code transmission. The Pre-rake system has been well known technique in TDD/CDMA to make a receiver simple. However, it still has residual losses of path diversity and signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, gathering all the residual paths demands an additional hardware such as a rake combiner at the receiver. For the reason Pre/Post-rake system has already been proposed at up/downlink correlated channel conditionunder the assumption of noisier channel. There is a trade-off between the first purpose of Pre-rake that makes hardware simple at the receiver and the performance improvement. From the point the frequency domain equalizer (FDE) can be considered in Pre/Post-rake to supply the receiver with the flexible equalizing methods with rather reduced complexity compared with time domain rake combiner or equalizers. Pre-rake itself increases the number of multipath, which results from the convolution of Pre-rake filter and wireless channel, and FDE must be well matched to Pre/Post-rake, while it considers the relationship of hardware complexity and the performance. In this paper, the Pre-rake/Post-FDE system is introduced at TDD/CDMA multi-code transmission. In addition, the cyclic prefix reduction method in the proposed system is introduced, and the theoretical analysis to the proposed system is given by assuming Gaussian approximation, and finally the numerical simulation results are provided.

본 논문에서는 SC-CDMA/TDD (Single Carrier CDMA/Time Division Multiplexing) 다중코드 전송에 있어서 송신단에서의 Pre-rake와 수신기에서 주파수 도메인 등화기를 결합한 Pre/Post-FDE (Frequency Domain Equalizer)를 제안하고, 무선 채널 환경 및 사용되는 멀티 코드들의 수에 따라 Post-FDE, Pre-rake, Pre/Post-FDE와 같은 모드들이 선택적으로 구동해야 함을 제안한다. 또한, Pre-rake가 적용되는 시스템에서 Cyclic Prefix의 길이를 최소화 하는 방법이 소개된다. Pre-rake로 전송되는 신호는 수신기에 부가적인 Signal to Noise ratio(SNR)를 제공할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 수신기에서는 시간 도메인에서의 rake combiner를 고려할 수 있다. 그러나, 기존의 Pre-rake만을 고려하는 단말에 비하여 rake combiner와 같은 더 많은 하드웨어를 요구하게 된다. 한편 SC-FDE(CP-CDMA)와 같은 광대역 싱글 케리어 전송 시스템에서 채용되고 있는 주파수 도메인 등화기는 시간 도메인에서의 하드웨어 복잡성을 피하고, 다양한 등화 방법을 고려할 수 있는 특징이 있다. 본 논문에서는 주파수 선택적 특성을 갖는 무선 채널과 사용되는 멀티코드 수에 따라 제안하고자 하는 Pre/Post-FDE와 기존의 Post-FDE와의 성능을 보여 주고자 한다. 제안하는 시스템의 검증을 위하여 멀티 코드 전송에서 가우지안 모델을 이용한 이론적인 분석 및 Pre/Post-FDE와 Post-FDE의 성능을 비교 분석한다.
