Abstract

In this paper, we study vertical sectorization techniques in multiple-input single-output (MISO) downlink active antenna systems (AAS). In the AAS, antenna beam patterns can be adjusted in each sector and multiple vertical beams can form the vertical sectorization. Since an exhaustive search based vertical sectorization algorithm requires high computational complexity to find the optimal tilt angles, we propose two vertical sectorization algorithms to reduce the complexity. First, we provide an asymptotic sum rate based algorithm which utilizes a large system approximation of the average sum rate based on the random matrix theory. Next, by using the result in the single sector transmission, the single sector based algorithm is proposed. In the simulation results, we confirm that the proposed algorithms are close to the performance of the exhaustive search algorithm with much reduced complexity.

이 논문에서는 MISO 하향 능동 안테나 시스템에서 수직 분할 기법을 연구하였다. 능동 안테나 시스템에서는 각 섹터에서 안테나 빔 패턴을 조절 가능 할 뿐만 아니라 복수의 수직 안테나 빔을 통해 수직 섹터분할도 가능하다. 수직 섹터 분할을 위한 최적 빔 기울기를 구하기 위해 기존의 전역 탐색 기법은 매우 높은 계산 복잡도를 요구하기 때문에 이 논문에서는 이러한 계산 복잡도를 낮추기 위해 두 가지 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저 불규칙 행렬이론에서의 광범위 시스템 근사치를 이용하여 근사 전송률 합에 기반을 둔 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 기존의 하나의 섹터 전송 기법에서의 결과를 이용한 폐쇄 형태 표현을 가진 알고리즘도 제안하였다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘들이 기존의 전역 탐색 알고리즘에 비해 복잡도를 매우 감소시킴에도 불구하고 거의 비슷한 성능을 가짐을 확인하였다.
