Abstract

This paper proposes an improved discrete Fourier transform spread single sideband(DFT-s-SSB) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system that solves the problems of conventional DFT-s-SSB OFDM systems. Conventional DFT-s-SSB systems use pulse amplitude modulation(PAM) for applying SSB modulation. The higher the modulation level, the worse is the BER performance. Further, transmission is possible only through the lower sideband(LSB) spectrum. When transmitting using the LSB and upper sideband(USB) spectra simultaneously, interference occurs and spectrum recovery is not performed correctly. To solve this problem, the proposed system applies the 2/3 convolution coding to improve the bit error rate(BER) performance, adjusts the DFT size, and selects the USB spectrum to utilize the remaining spectrum resources. In addition, when using this system in an environment that supports multiuser or limited bandwidth, it uses only half of the spectrum; therefore, it can utilize the remaining spectrum resources and improve the spectral efficiency.

본 논문은 기존 DFT-s-SSB(Discrete Fourier Transform spread Single Sideband) OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템이 가지는 문제점을 해결하는 개선된 DFT-s-SSB OFDM 시스템을 제안한다. 기존 DFT-s-SSB 시스템은 SSB 변조를 적용하기 위하여 PAM(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) 변조를 사용한다. 때문에 변조레벨이 높아질수록 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능열화가 심각해진다. 그리고 오직 LSB(Lower Sideband) 스펙트럼을 통해서만 송신이 가능하며 LSB와 USB(Upper Sideband) 스펙트럼을 동시에 사용하여 송신하는 경우, 간섭이 발생하고 스펙트럼 복구가 올바르게 이루어지지 않는다. 제안하는 시스템은 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 2/3 convolution coding을 적용하여 BER 성능을 개선하고 DFT 크기를 조절하고 USB 스펙트럼을 선택하는 방법을 제시하여 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있도록 한다. 또한 다중사용자를 지원하는 환경 혹은 제한적인 대역폭을 갖는 환경에서 이 시스템을 이용하는 경우 스펙트럼을 절반만 사용하기 때문에 남은 스펙트럼 자원을 이용할 수 있고 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있다.
