Abstract

셀룰러 시스템에서 언제 어디서나 높은 품질의 서비스를 제공하기에 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되는 문제점 중의 하나가 바로 셀간 간섭으로 인한 성능 저하이다. 따라서, 간섭으로 인해 셀 경계에서 발생하는 성능 저하를 해결하는 것은 차세대 통신시스템 설계에서 핵심적 요소 중 하나이며, 셀의 소형화를 통해 대역 효율성을 높이고자 하는 시도와 맞물려 더욱 중요한 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 본고는 간섭을 제어하는 수단으로 다중안테나를 이용한 셀간 협력 방식인 협력 빔형성(cooperative beamforming) 방식을 살펴보고, 최근의 연구와 LTE-Advanced 표준에서의 협력 기술인 CoMP (coordinated multipoint transmission and reception)를 함께 소개한다.
