본 논문에서는 블록 대각화 프리코딩 기법을 사용하는 다중 사용자 MIMO-OFDM 하향링크 시스템에서 전체시스템의 복잡도와 계산양을 감소시키기 위한 선형 보간법 기반 블록 대각화 프리코딩 근사화 기법을 제안한다. 일반적인 블록 대각화 프리코팅 기법을 다중 사용자 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에 그대로 적용할 경우 계산양이 부반송파의 수에 비례하여 증가하는 단점이 존재한다. 제안하는 선형 보간법 기반 블록 대각화 프리코딩 근사화 기법은 시스템의 복잡도와 계산양을 감소시키기 위하여 선형 보간법을 프리코딩 행렬의 근사화에 사용하여 성능을 최대한 유지하면서 계산양을 매우 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안된 선형 보간법 기반 블록 다각화 프리코딩 근사화 기법을 이용하여 시스템의 계산양을 매우 감소시킬 수 있음을 모의실험을 통해 증명했다.

Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) is considered a simple approach to exploit the frequency diversity, to improve the system performance in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Also, the linear precoding technique can significantly improve the performance of communication systems by exploiting the channel state information (CSI). In order to achieve enhanced performance, we propose applying linear precoding to the conventional CDD-OFDM transmit diversity schemes over Rayleigh fading channels. The proposed scheme works effectively with the accurate CSI in time-division-duplex (TDD) OFDM systems with CDD, where the reciprocity is assumed instead of channel state feedback. For a BER of $10^{-4}$ and the mobility of 3 km/h, simulation results show that a gain of 6 dB is achieved by the proposed scheme over both flat fading and Pedestrian A (Ped A) channels, compared to the conventional CDD-OFDM system. On the other hand, for a mobility of 120 km/h, a gain of 2.7 dB and 3.8 dB is achieved in flat fading and Vehicular A (Veh A) channels, respectively.

LLL (Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz) 알고리즘은 보다 좋은 채널 행렬의 기저를 얻기 위하여 주로 사용되는 격자 감소기법이다. 본 논문에서는 LRA (lattice reduction aided) 프리코딩 기법에서 채널 행렬의 기저 (basis) 벡터를 격자 감소시키기 위하여 LLL 알고리즘 대신 Seysen 알고리즘 (SA)을 사용하였으며, 기존의 선형 프리코딩 기법을 SA를 통하여 얻어진 변환된 채널 행렬에 적용하였다. SA를 통하여 LLL 알고리즘보다 높은 직교성을 가진 기저를 얻어낼 수 있으므로, SA 기반의 LRA 프리코딩 기법은 기존의 LLL 기반의 LRA 프리코딩 기법보다 우수한 성능을 가진다. 모의실험 결과를 통하여 LRA 프리코딩에서 격자 감소를 위하여 SA를 사용한 경우, LLL 알고리즘을 사용한 경우보다 target BER $10^{-5}$에서 0.5dB정도의 BER 성능 이득이 얻어짐을 입증한다.

Based on wideband precoding (WBP) in the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system, an adaptive nonuniform codebook is presented in this paper. The relationship between the precoder distribution and spatial correlation is analyzed at first. A closed-form expression based on overlapped isosceles triangles is proposed as an approximation of the precoder distribution. Then, the adaptive codebook design is derived with the approximate distribution to minimize quantization errors. The capacity and bit error rate performance demonstrate that the adaptive codebook with WBP outperforms the conventional fixed uniform codebook.

This paper proposes a space-polarization division multiple access (SPDMA) system that has limited feedback channels. The system simultaneously serves data streams to multiple mobile users through dual-polarized antenna arrays, by using pre-determined sets of precoding vectors that are orthogonal in both space and polarization domains. To this end, a codebook whose elements are sets of the precoding vectors is systematically designed based on the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix and considering the power imbalance of polarized channels. Throughput of the SPDMA system is evaluated and compared to that of space division multiple access (SDMA) system, according to the various parameters including cross polarization discrimination (XPD). The results show that the throughput of SPDMA system outperforms that of SDMA in the environments of high XPD with many mobile users.

We consider channel-coded multi-input multi-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission and obtain a condition on its signal for it to attain the maximum diversity and coding gain. As this condition may not be realizable, we propose a suboptimal design that employs an orthogonal transform and a space-frequency interleaver between the channel coder and the multi-antenna OFDM transmitter. We propose a corresponding receiving method based on block turbo equalization. Attention is paid to some detailed design of the transmitter and the receiver to curtail the computational complexity and yet deliver good performance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed transmission technique can outperform the conventional coded MIMO OFDM and the MIMO block single-carrier transmission with cyclic prefixing.

직교 주파수 분할 다중화 시스템에서 비중복 프리코딩을 이용한 미상 채널 추정 방식을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에서는 수신 신호에 대한 공분산 행렬을 구하고, 그 행렬의 각 원소들을 프리코딩 행렬의 각 원소로 나눔으로써 변형된 공분산 행렬을 구한다. 이 행렬의 최대 고유값에 해당하는 고유벡터를 구함으로써 채널 계수들을 추정하게 된다. 이 때, 고유 벡터를 구하기 위하여 많은 계산량을 필요로 하는 고유치 분해 기법 대신에 간단한 파워 기법을 적용함으로써 계산량을 크게 줄이게 된다. 제안하는 채널 추정 방식의 평균 제곱 오차에 대한 이론적인 값을 유도하고, 모의실험 결과와 비교함으로써 유도한 값이 실험 결과와 일치한다는 것을 확인한다. 또한, 모의실험을 통해서, 제안한 방법이 기존 방법들보다 더 우수한 채널 추정 성능과 비트 오율 성능을 나타낸다는 것을 보인다.

In this paper, we consider subcarrier-index modulation (SIM) for precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a few activated subcarriers per user and its generalization to multi-carrier multiple access systems. The resulting multiple access is called sparse index multiple access (SIMA). SIMA can be considered as a combination of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) and SIM. Thus, SIMA is able to exploit a path diversity gain by (random) spreading over multiple carriers as MC-CDMA. To detect multiple users' signals, a low-complexity detection method is proposed by exploiting the notion of compressive sensing (CS). The derived low-complexity detection method is based on the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm, which is one of greedy algorithms used to estimate sparse signals in CS. From simulation results, we can observe that SIMA can perform better than MC-CDMA when the ratio of the number of users to the number of multi-carrier is low.

ABBA codes, a class of quasi-orthognal space-time block codes (QoSTBC) proposed by Tirkkonen and others, allow full rate and a fast maximum likelihood (ML) decoding, but do not have full diversity. In this paper, a linear complex precoder is proposed for ABBA codes to achieve full rate and full diversity. Moreover, the same diversity produce as that of orthogonal space-time block code with linear complex precoder (OSTBC-LCP) is achieved. Meanwhile, the size of the linear complex precoder can be reduced by half without affecting performance, which means the same complexity of decoding as that of the conventional ABBA code is guaranteed.

In the context of effective usage of a scarce spectrum resource, emerging wireless communication standards will demand spectrum sharing with existing systems as well as multiple access with higher spectral efficiency. We mathematically analyze the sum throughput of a spectrum sharing space-division multiple access (SDMA) system, which forms a transmit null in the direction of other coexisting systems while satisfying orthogonal beamforming constraints. For a large number of users N, the SDMA throughput scales as log N at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ((J-1) loglog N at normal SNR), where J is the number of transmit antennas. This indicates that multiplexing gain of the spectrum sharing SDMA is $\frac{J-1}{J}$ times less than that of the non-spectrum sharing SDMA only using orthogonal beamforming, whereas no loss in multiuser diversity gain. Although the spectrum sharing SDMA always has lower throughput compared to the non-spectrum sharing SDMA in the non-coexistence scenario, it offers an intriguing opportunity to reuse spectrum already allocated to other coexisting systems.
