협력 다이버시티 기술은 최근 수년간 MIMO(Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) 기술의 실질적인 대안으로, 애드 혹 네트워크에서의 MIMO 기술로, 셀룰러 시스템에서의 커버리지 확장 기술로 주목을 받아 왔다. 따라서, 협력 다이버시티 기술은 응용 목표에 따라 방식이 다르게 존재하게 된다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 협력 다이버시티 기술들을 몇 가지 일관된 기준으로 분류하여 보고, 이 분야에서 미진한 연구방향으로 다중사용자 환경에서의 협력 다이버시티 기술과 다중 안테나 노드를 위한 협력 다이버시티 기술을 제시한다.

We consider the use of cooperative diversity in a multiuser wireless data network. This paper provides an analysis of the interaction between cooperative diversity and multiuser diversity on downlink channels. By using approximation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) distribution of each cooperative diversity link by Gamma distribution, an analytic expression is derived for the average throughput of a single-cell wireless system with multiple cooperative diversity links combined with a fair-access scheduler. The proposed analytic approach is verified through comparisons with simulated results and shows that cooperative diversity makes the detrimental impacts on multiuser diversity.

In this paper, we analyzed the propagation characteristics of polarization diversity in the view of diversity gain, cross correlation coefficient and average received signal strength, and compared it with those of space diversity. From the results, we could confirm that in the care of line of sight(LOS), space diversity gain is bigger than polarization diversity gain by 2 dB and the diversity gain of mobile transmitting with 90 degree is bigger than that of mobile transmitting with 45 degree by 1 dB. However, in the area of non-line of sight(NLOS), the diversity gains were all most the same in two diversity schemes and in specular cases, polarization diversity showed better performances. Also it was verified that under the NLOS conditions, diversity gain of mobile transmitting with 45 degree was at least 1 dB bigger than that of mobile transmitting with 90 degree.

IMT-2000 지상 시스템에서는 순방향 링크의 용량을 증대하기 위하여 다중 전송 안테나를 이용하는 다양한 전송 다이버시티 기법들이 연구되고 있으며, 3GPP를 위한 표준 가운데 하나인 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티 기법은 단말기에서 순방향 채널의 상태에 따라 전송 안테나의 가중치를 결정하여 궤환함으로써 여타의 기법에 비해 우수한 성능을 보인다. 하지만 지상 시스템과는 달리 IMT-2000 위성 시스템에서는 현재 전송 다이버시티에 대한 표준이 없는 상황이며 이에 대한 연구 역시 미진하다. 본 논문에서는 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티를 IMT-2000 위성 시스템에 적용한 결과를 제시한다. IMT-2000 위성 채널 모델에 대한 모의 실험 결과 2개 안테나를 이용하는 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티를 통해 단일 안테나 혹은 2개 안테나 전송 신호의 단순한 다이버시티 결합에 비해 월등한 성능 향상이 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 하이브리드 SC/MRC 다이버시티 방식을 DS/CDMA 시스템에 적용하였을 경우, 다중경로 페이딩 채널환경에서 페이딩 지수와 다이버시티의 브랜치 수가 시스템의 BER성능에 미치는 영향을 MRC 다이버시티 방식과 비교 분석하였다. 또한, 브랜치 수는 2, 3, 4인 경우를 고려하였으며, 브랜치 수에 따른 각 다이버시티 방식을 적용하였다. 실제 통신 환경이 열악한 경우 시스템의 복잡도를 줄이면서도 비슷한 성능을 얻을 수 있는 방법으로 각 브랜치 수에 수신되는 강도가 센 몇몇 신호를 가진 경로를 선택하는 하이브리드 SC/MRC 다이버시티 방식이 MRC 다이버시티방식을 대신할 수 있는 방식임을 입증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new transmit diversity scheme using window functions in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. Transmit diversity of the scheme is varied with window functions and the condition of the window function to maximize transmit diversity is derived. The proposed scheme can be considered as a generalization of the diversity schemes such as cyclic delay diversity (CDD), orthogonal transmit diversity (OTD), and frequency switched transmit diversity (FSTD).

In this paper, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity in the multipath Rayleigh fading environment is analyzed and compared with that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system. Each carriers of the number of the input diversity branches in the Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is L and among L, the branches of $L_c$ are chosen to be maximum-ratio-combined. And the diversity outputs are coherent-detected and despread by the correlator of each carrier. As the result, we have known that the structure of the Wideband DS-CDMA system with Hybrid $SC/MRC-L_{c}/L$ diversity reception becomes simple due to no synchronization of bit or phase and in terms of the error performance, the performance of Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_{c}/L$ diversity is better than that of selection diversity, but worse than that of MRC diversity. Moreover, the performance of a Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system is better than that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system in multipath Rayleigh fading channel since Hybrid $SC/MRC- L_c/L$ diversity can obtain gain from each diversity branch. In case four carriers are used and required BER is $10^{-6}$ in wireless data communication, Hybrid SC/MRC-2/4 diversity can increase more 17 users than Hybrid SC/MRC-2/3 diversity because the better input branches can be selected through increase of input branches.

In this paper, the performance of DS /SSMA BPSK communication system with maximal ratio combining microscopic diversity and selection macroscopic diversity is analyzed. The effects of Rayleigh fading and log normal shadowing on system performance are analyzed, and the validity of microscopic and macroscopic diversity to mitigate the two fading effects are estimated. The increase of the number of chips is effective for mitigating log norma; shadowing, while the increase of the order of microscopic diversity is not. And the higher the standard deviation of shadowing, the more effective the macroscopic diversity.

The balanced Tx diversity with same data on two antennas can have better or lower performance than STBC Tx diversity, depending on the difference between each phase of two channels when the received signal is processed with MRRC. Therefore, using the feedback information based on the phase estimation in each channels, the better scheme of the balanced Tx diversity and STBC Tx diversity can be selected. However, when the phase condition changes during the transmission as the selected Tx. diversity scheme, the decoded bit can be erroneous because the previously estimated phase and newly estimated phase is different. In this case, the receiver should request the re-transmission of the just received signal to the transmitter part. Through computer simulation, it is shown that the combined scheme of the balanced Tx diversity and STBC Tx. diversity has better performance than STBC Tx diversity.

We investigate BER (Bit Error Ratio) performance according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities in uplink SC-FDMA of SIMO (Single Input Multiple Output) systems. The main results of the analysis in this paper are as follows. First, we prove that performance of integrated system for considering spatial and frequency diversity combining in parallel is equivalent with the performance of sequential system for performing diversity combining in sequence. By signal modeling, it is demonstrated that the performances of both systems are the same when the frequency diversity combining technique of the sequential system is equal to diversity combining technique of the integrated system, and spatial diversity combining technique of the sequential system is performed as MRC in advance of frequency diversity combining. Secondly, it is found that effect on the BER performance is different according to the gain of spatial and frequency diversities, respectively. The frequency diversity gain increases by increasing the number of subcarrier. It might affect the performance improvement of high SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) while it maintains gap between performances of ZF(Zero Forcing) and MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) in frequency diversity combining schemes. Also, spatial diversity gain increases as the number of receiving antennas increases. It means that it can reduce performance gap between ZF and MMSE in frequency diversity combining schemes by increasing the number of receiving antennas. In addition, it might affect the performance improvement of the whole SNR. Finally, through the analysis of performance according to the spatial diversity gain, the performance of ZF in frequency diversity combining is equal to the MMSE if the number of receiving antennas is 6 or more.
