Abstract

In a frequency selective fading channel, Pre-Rake diversity technique provides simple receiver structure and sufficient diversity effect for mobile terminals. However, conventional Pre-Rake systems are more severely affected than Rake systems with regard to multiple access interference since the number of multipaths received at the mobile unit is nearly twice that of the Rake systems. In order to overcome the problem, a Pre-Rake TDD-CDMA system using zero correlation duration (ZCD) spreading code is proposed. Modified ZCD codes including guard interval (GI) is also proposed and the performance is evaluated by computer simulation under the condition of various channel environment.

주파수선택성 패이딩 채널 상황에서 Pre-Rake 다이버시티 기술은 이동단말에게 충분한 다이버시티 효과를 제공하며 이동단말의 수신기가 단순한 구조가 되도록 도와준다. 하지만, 기존의 Pre-Rake 시스템은 주파수선택성 페이딩 환경에서 Rake 시스템보다 두 배에 가까운 멀티패스에 의해 영향을 받기 때문에 다중유저 간섭을 Rake 시스템보다 훨씬 더 심각하게 받게 된다. 결국 이와 같은 간섭은 사용자가 증가할수록 성능이 열화하게 되는 원인이 된다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 ZCD (Zero Correlation Code) 확산코드를 이용한 Pre-Rake TDD-CDMA 시스템을 제안한다. 또한 GI (Guard interval)를 포함하는 수정된 ZCD 코드들을 제시하고 다양한 채널환경에서 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 그 성능을 평가한다.
