OFDMA 접속방식에서는 각 사용자에게 여러 개의 부반송파를 할당하여 데이터를 전송한다. 송신 비선형 전력증폭기와 반송파 주파수편차에 의하여 부반송파 간 간섭이 발생된다. 또한 OFDM 신호가 도플러 시변 채널을 통하여 전송될 때 부반송파 간 간섭이 발생된다. 이러한 부반송파 간 간섭은 다른 사용자에게 간섭을 일으키게 되어 전송품질이 열화 된다. OFDMA 상 하향링크에서 이러한 다중 사용자 간섭을 고려하여, 데이터가 주파수 선택적 시변 채널을 통하여 전송될 때의 성능을 분석한다. 분석 결과, OFDMA 상향링크가 하향링크에 비하여 다중 사용자 간섭의 영향을 더욱 크게 받는다. 본 논문에서는 우선 그 원인을 밝히고, 우수한 비트 오류율 특성을 위하여 다중 사용자 상 하향링크에서 요구되는 비선형 증폭기의 특성과 반송파 주파수 편차의 크기를 구하며, 도플러 페이딩의 정도에 따라 결정되는 비트 오류율 특성 열화를 분석한다.

In this paper, we consider a channel ordering problem that seeks to maximize the service quality in mobile radio communication systems. If a base station receives a connection request from a mobile user, one of the empty channels belonging to the base station is assigned to the mobile user. In case multiple empty channels are available, we can choose one that incurs least interference with other channels assigned to adjacent base stations. However, note that a pair of channels that are not separated enough generates interference only if both channels are assigned to mobile users. That is, interference between channels may vary depending on the channel assignment sequence for each base station and on the distribution of mobile users. To find a channel assignment sequence that seems to generate minimum interference, we develop an optimization model considering various scenarios of mobile user distribution. Simulation results show that channel assignment sequence determined by the scenario based optimization model significantly reduces the interference provided that scenarios and interference cost are properly generated.

In this paper, a generalized blind adaptive algorithm is introduced for multi-user detection of direct sequence code division multiple access (OS-COMA) wireless communication systems. The main property of the proposed algorithm is its ability to resolve the multipath fading channel resulting in inter symbol interference (ISI) as well as multiple access interference (MAI). Other remarkable properties are its low complexity and mitigation to the near-far problem as well as its insensitivity to asynchronous transmission. The proposed system is based on the minimization of the output energy and convergence to the minimum mean square error (MMSE) detector. It is blind in the sense that it needs no knowledge of the other users' signatures, only the intended user signature and timing are required. Furthermore, the convergence of the minimum output energy (MOE) detector to the MMSE detector is analytically proven in case of M-ary PSK. Depicted results show that the performance of the generalized system dominates those previously considered. Further improvements are obtained when multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technique is employed.

In the multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, orthogonal random beamforming (ORBF) scheme is proposed to serve multiple users simultaneously in order to achieve the multi-user diversity gain. The opportunistic space-division multiple access system (OSDMA-S) scheme performs multiple weighting matrices during the training phase and chooses the best weighting matrix to be used to broadcast data during the transmitting phase. The OSDMA-S scheme works better than the original ORBF by decreasing the inter-user interference during the transmitting phase. To save more time in the training phase, a partly random multiple weighting matrices selection scheme is proposed in this paper. In our proposed scheme, the Base Station does not need to use several unitary matrices to broadcast pilot symbol. Actually, only one broadcasting operation is needed. Each subscriber generates several virtual equivalent channels with a set of pre-saved unitary matrices and the channel status information gained from the broadcasting operation. The signal-to-interference and noise ratio (SINR) of each beam in each virtual equivalent channel is calculated and fed back to the base station for the weighting matrix selection and multi-user scheduling. According to the theoretical analysis, the proposed scheme relatively expands the transmitting phase and reduces the interactive complexity between the Base Station and subscribers. The asymptotic analysis and the simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves the throughput performance of the multi-user MIMO system.

Coordinated multi-point transmission (CoMP) is a candidate technique for next generation cellular communications systems. One of the primary elements discussed in LTE-Advanced technology is CoMP, which can improve cell edge user data rate as well as spectral efficiency due to multiple input multiple output - orthogonal frequency division multiplex (MIMO-OFDM). We consider a system with multiple cells in which base stations coordinate with each other by sharing user channel state information (CSI), which mitigates inter cell interference (ICI), especially for users located at the cell edge. We introduce a new user scheduling method of ICI cancellation and the loss reduction of effective channel gain during the beamforming process, the proposed method improves the system sum rate, when compared to the conventional method by an average of 0.55bps/Hz in different number of total users per cell. It also outperforms the conventional method by approximately 0.38bps/Hz using different SNRs.

Recently, correlated superposition coding (CSC) has been proposed to implement non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) without successive interference cancellation (SIC), without loss of spectral efficiency, in contrast to conventional independent superposition coding (ISC). However, correlation between signals has reduced the average total allocated power, which results in degraded performance. Thus, in order to avoid the reduction of the average total allocated power owing to correlation between signals, this paper proposes a cross-correlated quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) NOMA scheme under Rayleigh fading channel surroundings. First, we design the cross-correlated QAM NOMA scheme. Then, simulations demonstrate that for the weaker channel gain's user, the symbol error rate (SER) performance of the proposed cross-correlated QAM NOMA improves largely, whereas for the stronger channel gain's user, the SER performance of the proposed cross-correlated QAM CSM NOMA degrades little, compared to that of the conventional QAM NOMA.

최근 유비쿼터스 환경에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 이를 위한 센서네트워크에 관한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이동 사용자의 위치 정보를 제공하는 위치인식서비스는 센서네트워크가 제공하는 대표적인 서비스이다. 그동안 이동 사용자의 위치정보를 획득하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 제시되어 왔다. 하지만 대부분의 기법들은 단일 사용자인 경우만 고려하여 연구되어 이를 다중 사용자인 경우로 확장하기에는 문제가 있다. 여러 이동 사용자들이 한 지역에서 동시에 위치인식 작업을 수행하는 경우에 센서노드들이 발생시키는 비콘이나 초음파 등이 서로 간에 간섭을 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 여러 이동 사용자들이 동시 다발적으로 위치확인 작업을 수행하고자 하는 경우에 발생 가능한 간섭을 회피하도록 하는 IAL기법을 제안한다. IAL기법은 센서노드가 위치인식 작업을 수행하기 전에 주위에 있는 앵커노드들로부터 허가를 받도록 하여 노드간의 간섭을 방지한다. 이를 위해 허가를 요청하는 LIP패킷과 요청을 인가하는 LGP패킷을 정의한다. 추가적으로 다른 노드의 위치인식 작업을 방해할 가능성이 있는 경우에는 LRP 패킷을 사용하여 노드 간에 간섭이 발생하지 않도록 한다. 실험을 통하여 이동 사용자가 다수일 경우 노드 간에 간섭이 많이 발생함을 보이며 제안하는 IAL기법이 위치인식 작업시 간섭을 방지함을 보인다.

This paper considers a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) power line communication (PLC) network where interference alignment (IA) technique is used to mitigate the interference that arises in multi-user networks. IA as a precoding technique requires perfect channel state information (CSI) to achieve maximum multiplexing gain. Due to the common-mode reception at the receiver ports, we assume imperfect CSI for the IA precoding design. Here, the CSI is quantized and sent via feedback to the transmit ports. For different levels of CSI quantization, we evaluate the performance of various IA algorithms via Monte Carlo simulations. Simulation results reveal the superior performance of the proposed scheme due to common-mode reception in IA MIMO PLC networks. It is shown that for a quantization level of 5 bits, the CM reception improves the sum-rate by up to 70%.

Separating highly correlated users can reduce the loss caused by spatial correlation (SC) in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems. However, few accurate analyses of the loss caused by SC have been conducted. In this study, we define signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) loss to characterize it in multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) systems, and use coefficient of correlation (CoC) to describe the SC between users. A formula is deduced to show the accurate relation between SINR loss and CoC. Based on this relation, we propose a user selection method that utilizes CoC to minimize the average SINR loss of users in massive MU-MISO systems. Simulation results verify the correctness of the relation and show that the proposed user selection method is very effective at reducing the loss caused by SC in massive MU-MISO systems.
