초록

본 논문에서는 차기 군 위성통신체계 환경에서 OTM(On-The-Move) 위성단말의 채널 blockage 신호 손실 보상을 위한 협업통신 기법을 제안하였다. 제안하는 협업기법은 인접 OTM 위성단말과 지상 무전기 체계를 통해 데이터를 공유하고 직교확산코드를 이용하여 대역확산 후 동시에 전송한다. 중첩되어 전송된 확산열은 EGC(Equal Gain Combining) 방식으로 결합한다. 성능 분석을 위해 OTM 위성단말의 blockage 채널을 2-state Markov chain으로 모델링하였으며, 이를 기반으로 협업단말들의 blockage 채널 상태에 따른 비트오류율을 도출하였다. 성능분석 결과 채널 조건이 더 나은 인접 OTM 위성단말의 협업으로 비트오류율 성능이 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 blockage 확률이 높을수록 협업을 통해 더욱 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 서로 다른 지연을 갖는 확산 열 간 중첩으로 인해 협업단말 수 증가 시 다중접속간섭으로 인한 성능상의 제약이 있음을 확인하였다.

To compensate signal loss due to the channel blockage in satellite communication link, we propose a cooperative communication scheme for OTM(On-The-Move) terminal in next generation satellite communication systems. The proposed scheme configures cooperation subnet with adjacent OTM terminal with the help of ground communication equipment. Shared data is spread by orthogonal spreading code, then the spread sequences are transmitted simultaneously. The receiver combines the power of received signals by EGC(Equal gain combining). The OTM terminal blockage channel is modeled by 2-state Markov chain. We evaluate the bit error rate according to the blockage channel of the channel state for the performance analysis of the proposed scheme. As a result, the proposed scheme shows better BER performance than traditional scheme with the help of subset members. In particular, the proposed scheme shows superior performance as the channel block probability is higher. However, as the number of subset members is increasing, there is a constraint because of the higher multiple access interference.
