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, we compared and analyzed the influence of the fading index and the number of branch of diversity in the Nakagami-m fading channel environment when the MRC diversity and the hybrid SC/MRC are applied to the DS/CDMA system. We considered that the number of branches were 2,3, and 4, respectively and applied an individual diversity type according to the number of branches, when nakagami fading index(m) were 1 and 2. We found that when the Nakagami fading index m is small, that is to say, when fading is inferior, the application of a hybrid SC/MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient; however, when the fading environment is good, the application of the MRC diversity Rake receiver is efficient. As a result, we verified that when the actual communication environment is inferior, the hybrid SC/MRC diversity that selects a strong signal to be received on an individual number of branches could replace the MRC diversity, as a method to achieve a similar performance by reducing the complexity of the system.

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 have considered the performance improvement of Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system using hybrid SC/MRC-Lc/L diversity receiving technique over multipath fading environment and compared with that of a Wideband DS-CDMA system. In the result, the PBI has caused a performance deterioration over partial bandwidth in Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system. Also, Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA system using Hybrid SC/MRC-Lc/L diversity received can determined the complexity and the performance vs the expenses for the system that select the number of input branches.

In this paper, we analyzed the DS/CDMA System with Hybrid SC/MRC diversity, as a method to achieve a good performance by reducing the complexity of system, when PLL gain value was revised a phase gulf among branches to make perfect coherent receive signal. The channel is a multipath Nakagami-m fading channel, we consider user(K), processor gain(N), number of paths(Lp) in DS/CDMA system with hybrid SC/MRC diversity. We found that PLL gain values exist to make perfect coherent receive signal. We verified that DS/CDMA system with Hybrid SC/MRC diversity can improve performance when the proper PLL gain values is used in the system. As a result, we verified that the upper limit of PLL gain value is 5dB to make perfect coherent receive signal in the DS/CDMA system with hybrid SC/MRC diversity.

In this paper, the hybrid SC/MRC technique was applied to the MC/DS-CDMA system in the Nakagami-m multi-path fading environment. The applied scheme was compared with other cases when the MRC technique was applied and then performances were analyzed. The result of analysis showed that the performance of the applied system, whose number of branches (L) for the input diversity of each carrier wave was 3 and かme selected number of branches ( Lc) was 2, was better than that of the MRC technique when the Lc of the MRC technique was 2. The performance of the applied system was lower than that of the MRC technique, then the Lc of the MRC technique was 3. However, as the fading index was lowered, which means the telecommunication environment deteriorated, the performance of the hybrid SC/MRC-(2/3) diversity technique when Lc of MRC technique was 3, was almost the same as that of the MRC technique. The hybrid SC/MRC-(2/3) diversity technique shows a similar performance to that of the MRC technique, when the Lc of the MRC technique was 4. Therefore, it was confirmed that the MC/DS-CDMA system could reduce complexity and achieve similar performance to that of the MRC by applying the hybrid SC/MRC technique, which utilized the advantages of the SC technique and high performance of the MRC scheme, rather than the MRC diversity technique that requires bit synchronization, frequency of fading, and phase synchronization for every diversity branch.

This paper presents and analyses the exact and general closed-form expression for the average bit error probability of M-ary square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) for maximal ratio combining (MRC) diversity reception in frequency-nonselective Nakagami-m fading. An L-branch Maximal ratio combining diversity technique with independent or correlated fading cases is considered. Numerical results demonstrate the error performance improvement by employing with the use of MRC diversity reception. The new expressions presented here can offer a convenient way to evaluate the performance of an arbitrary square M-W square QAM with an MRC diversity combiner for various cases of practical interest.

본 논문에서는 Hybrid $SC/MRC-{L_c}/L$ 다이버시티 수신 기법과 콘볼루션 부호화 기법을 각각 또는 함께 이용할 때의 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA시스템의 성능 개선을 구하였다. 우선 다중경로 페이딩 및 다중접속간섭의 영향을 분석하고, 두 기법에 의한 성능 개선 정도를 구하여 비교, 분석하였다. Hybrid SC/MRC-Lc/L 수신에서는 각각의 반송파에 대하여 상관을 취하고 상관기 출력들 중에서 가장 큰 신호성분을 {$L_c}$개 만큼 선택하여 최대비 합성하며, 콘볼루션 부호화는 다중경로 다중경로 페이딩 및 다중접속간섭에 의하여 발생된 오류를 정정 및 검출한다. 분석 결과, 콘볼루션 부호화 기법을 채용함으로서 성능이 현저하게 개선되는데, 보호이득과 전력제한 사이에 trade off를 고려하여 부호화 율 (r)을 선택할 필요가 있다는 것과 하이브리드 $SC/MRC-{L_c}/L$ 수신에서는 입력 다이버시티 가지의 수 (L)가 많을수록 선택의 폭이 넓어지며, 적절한 숫자의 다이버시티 가지의 선택이 시스템의 복잡성과 성능 대 배용 등을 결정한다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 부분대역간섭 (PBI : Partial Band Interference)이 존재하는 다중경로 페이딩 환경에서 하이브리드 SC/MRC-Lc/L 다이버시티 수신 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 알아보고, 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템과 비교 분석하였다. 결과적으로 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템에서 부분대역간섭에 대한 영향은 성능 열화정도가 전체 주파수 대역 중 일부대역에서만 받기 때문에 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템보다는 심각하지 않았다. 또한, 하이브리드 SC/MRC-Lc/L 다이버시티 수신 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템은 입력 다이버시티 가지의 수를 적절히 선택함으로서 시스템의 복잡성과 성능 대 비용을 결정할 수 있다.
