In general, as the amplitude and phase information of the physical layer channel impulse response change rapidly in time and frequency according to the high-speed movement of the vehicles in V2X communication systems, it is difficult to accurately estimate these channels at the receiving end. In order to effectively overcome this problem, midamble-based channel estimation methods in which mid-ambles are periodically inserted into a packet have been recently considered. However, as the number of midambles increases, we suffer from the spectral efficiency loss. To relieve such a loss, in this paper, we propose a new bidirectional averaging channel estimation method that combines the existing data pilot-based channel estimation methods and the mid-ambles. Finally, through the simulation results, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the existing mid-amble method in terms of packet error rate with fewer number of mid-ambles.

현재 IEEE 802.11p 규격은 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격을 기반으로 하여 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 기존의 IEEE 802.11a 규격은 무선랜 (WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network) 규격으로서 고속으로 이동하는 차량 통신환경 즉 WAVE (Wireless Access for Vehicular Environment) 환경에 그대로 작용할 경우 수신 성능이 급격히 떨어지게 되 는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 긴 훈련 심볼 (LTS: Long Training Sequence)을 이용하는 기존의 채널 추정 기법을 기반으로 하되 WAVE 채널처럼 빠르게 변화하는 채널에 대응하기 위해 일정한 심볼 주기 마다 미드엠블 (Mid-Amble)을 삽입하는 전송구조를 제안한다. 또한, 미드엠블 사이의 심볼들의 위상과 크기를 3차원 스플라인 보간법을 적용하여 추정하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬의 성능실험을 위해 WAVE 채널을 모델링하였으며 이러한 채널에서 성능실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 제안된 알고리듬은 빠른 시변 채널에서도 매우 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있다.

A combined opportunistic multiple beamforming method is presented that the first beam is designed with an aid of channel state information using uplink mid-amble and other beams are orthogonally generated to the first beam sequentially. The power allocation with SINR feedback increases overall throughput for the decentralized systems. The advantages of the proposed scheme is that the first beam is not interfered by other beams guaranteeing quality of service (QoS) and other orthogonal beams are operated opportunistically to obtain multi user diversity. The computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed scheme is effective at a small number of users, which is common in cellular systems, and outperforms conventional spatial division multiple access (SDMA) opportunistic beamforming methods.
