Abstract

In this paper, we apply the LMMSE(: Linear Minimum Mean Square Error) algorithm to overcome the Doppler effect according to the UAV(: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) velocity in multipath fading channel environment. Simulation results show that the performance difference depends on the pilot arrangement and pattern, and we confirmed that the frame structure proposed in this paper can provide a stable secondary link for high speed UAV system.

본 논문에서는 다중경로 페이딩의 무인기 채널환경에서 무인기 속도에 따른 도플러 영향을 극복하기 위해 LMMSE(: Linear Minimum Mean Square Error) 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 파일럿 배치 및 패턴에 따른 영향성을 분석하였다. 모의 실험결과 파일럿 배치 및 패턴에 따라 성능 차이를 확인할 수 있었고, 본 논문에서 제시한 프레임 구조를 통해 실제 운용 환경에서도 고속의 무인기에 대해 안정적인 보조링크를 제공할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
