초록

본 논문에서는 이동통신, 무인기 통신, 차량 간 통신 등에 이용될 수 있는 효율적인 단말 간 직접통신 (D2D: device-to-device)을 위한 동기 프리앰블 (preamble) 구조를 제안하고 성능을 비교한다. 단말 간 직접 통신을 위해서는 향상된 주파수 및 시간 동기 요구 성능을 만족 시킬 수 있어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 이를 위한 프리앰블 구조를 제안한다. 주파수 영역에서 하나 걸러 하나씩의 부반송파에는 신호를 전송하지 않는 대신, 나머지 부반송파에서는 심볼 당 에너지를 2배로 전송하는 제안하는 구조가 기존 LTE D2D 프리앰블 구조에 비해 주파수 옵셋 추정 성능은 유지하면서도 시간 옵셋 추정 성능을 크게 향상시킴을 확인하였다.

In this paper, an efficient structure of device-to-device (D2D) synchronization preamble is proposed to meet the enhanced time and frequency synchronization requirements for D2D communication. D2D communication can be applied not only for the cellular communications, but also unmaned aerial vehicle communications and vehicle-to vehicle communication. The proposed preamble structure is transmitting signals at every odd subcarriers, and empty the other subcarriers to minimize the effect of inter-carrier interference. According to the simulation results, the proposed preamble structure provides improved time offset estimation performance, without degrading frequency offset estimation performance compared to the current LTE D2D preamble.
