초록

폭발적으로 증가하고 있는 모바일 데이터 트래픽을 수용하기 위하여 셀 간 간섭을 제어할 수 있는 향상된 수신기에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project) 에서는 인접 셀의 간섭 신호를 억제 및 제거하여 수신기의 SINR(Signal-to-Noise-plus-Interference Ratio)을 향상시켜 수신 성능을 올리는 NAICS(Network Assisted Interference Cancellation and Suppression)가 표준에서 논의되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이웃셀로 부터 간섭의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 연판정 기반의 향상된 수신기를 제안한다. 제안한 수신기는 MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) 또는 IRC (Interference Rejection Combing) 수신기를 통해 간섭 신호의 불편 추정 (unbiased estimation) 값을 계산 하고 간섭 신호를 억제 및 제거한다. 간섭 신호는 LLR (Log-Likelihood Ratio)로 표현되는 소프트 정보를 통해 업데이트 한다. 시스템 레벨 시뮬레이션은 3GPP LTE-Advanced 하향링크 시스템의 20MHz 대역을 기반으로 이루어 졌으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 제안한 수신기를 통해 기존 수신기보다 SINR, 전송률 및 스펙트럼 효율 측면에서 성능 향상을 가져다주는 것을 확인하였다.

An advanced receiver which can manage inter-cell interference is required to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has discussed network assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) to improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) and receiver performance by suppression or cancellation of interference signal from inter-cells. In this paper, we propose the advanced receiver based on soft decision to reduce the interference from neighbor cell in LTE-Advanced downlink system. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by calculating the unbiased estimation value of interference signal using minimum mean square error (MMSE) or interference rejection combing (IRC) receiver. The interference signal is updated using soft information expressed by log-likelihood ratio (LLR). We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-Advanced downlink system. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can improve SINR, throughput, and spectral efficiency of conventional system.
