초록

본 논문에서는 AWGN 채널에서 특정 판정영역 내에 수신된 샘플들을 이용해 DD(Decision Directed) 방식으로 SNR을 추정하는 경우에 발생하는 SNR 추정 오차에 대해서 분석하였다. 수신기에서 특정 성좌점에 해당하는 기준 판정영역에 수신된 샘플들로 이상적인 수신점과의 에러벡터를 이용하여 SNR을 추정하는 경우, 다른 판정영역에 대응되는 송신심볼이 잡음의 영향으로 기준 판정영역으로 넘어온 샘플들까지 포함되므로, 추정된 신호 성좌점의 평균치가 이동함으로써 DD방식의 SNR 추정이 부정확하게 이루어진다. 이러한 현상을 변형된 확률밀도 함수를 기반으로 설명하고 실제 SNR과 추정 SNR과의 오차를 유도하여 정량적으로 분석하였다. 또한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 SNR 추정오차가 이론적으로 유도된 SNR 추정오차와 일치하고, 제안한 보정기법을 통해 SNR 추정 성능을 크게 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the SNR estimation error of Decision Directed SNR estimation method in AWGN is investigated, which uses samples received in reference decision region. In communication system receiver, when SNR estimation scheme using error vectors between ideal sample points and received sample points of reference region is adopted, the samples contain incorrectly received samples due to AWGN. Consequently, the mean of estimated reference constellation point is shifted and Decision Directed SNR estimation is inaccurately performed. These effects are explained by modified probability density function and difference between actual SNR and estimated SNR is theoretically derived and quantatively analyzed. It is proved that SNR estimation error obtained through computer simulation is matched up with derived one, and SNR estimation performance is enhanced significantly by adopting suggested correction scheme.
