Wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), high speed packet access (HSPA) and HSPA+ are third generation partnership project (3GPP) standards. These systems are the major wireless communication standards. In order to test the performance of WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal in a base station, the measurement hardware is required to the evaluation of the transmitted signals. In this paper, the algorithm for the performance measurement of the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ is proposed. Also, the performance of the measurement algorithm is used to evaluate the generated signal by the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal generator. Generally, the algorithm of normal modems cannot be applied to the measurement system because the signal measurement equipment needs to guarantee the high accuracy. So, the WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+ signal measurement algorithm for the accurate measurement is proposed. By the simulation, it is confirmed that the proposed measurement algorithm has good performance compared with the specification. Therefore, the proposed algorithm can be usefully applied to verify the performance of the measurement using the simulation.

This paper presents implementation of Air protocol analyzer and physical layer design algorithm. The analyzer is a measurement system providing real-time analysis of wireless signals between User Equipment (UE) and Node-B. The implemented system proposed in this paper consists of Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). The waveform of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) has been selected for verification of the proposed system. We designed the analyzer using equalizer algorithm and rake-receiver algorithm. Among various algorithms of designing the equalizer, we have chosen Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) equalizer that uses the inverse of channel matrix. Since the LMMSE equalizer uses the inverse channel matrix, it suffers from a large amount of computational load, while it outperforms most conventional equalizers. In this paper, we introduce an efficient procedure of reducing the computational load required by LMMSE equalizer-based receiver.

최근 모바일 시스템은 하나의 단말로 다양한 서비스망에서의 운용을 위한 Multi-core 시스템 형태로 연구되고 있다. 따라서 하나의 단말로 WCDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), MC-CDMA(Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access), CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access), WiBro(Wireless Broadband)를 지원할 수 있는 모바일 시스템들이 출현할 것으로 예상된다. 다양한 서비스망을 지원하기 위한 모바일 시스템은 SoC(System one Chip) 기술과 더불어 하나의 칩셋으로 구현이 가능하며 그에 따른 모뎀 구조가 필요하다. 4세대 이동통신 서비스를 위한 시스템은 고속데이터 전송을 필요로 하므로 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식은 필수적으로 적용 되어야 한다. 그런데, OFDM 신호는 독립적으로 변조된 많은 부반송파들로 구성되므로 이들이 동 위상으로 더해질 때 신호의 진폭이 증가하여 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 4세대 이동통신 서비스를 위한 모뎀 구조를 제안하고 PAPR 문제를 해결하기 위한 PAPR 감소 기법을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 코드분할 다중화 시스템을 위해 저자가 제안하였던 유사 역상관기를 변형하여 광대역 코드분할 다중화 시스템에 적합한 수신기를 설계하고, 백색 가우시안 채널 환경에서 성능을 분석하고 있다. 설계된 수신기에서는 판단변수에 포함되어 있는 다중사용자 간섭신호를 분석하여, 송신된 신호의 각 비트에 대응되는 상호상관행렬을 얻게 된다. 이 상호상관행렬을 역변환시킨 후, 기존의 수신기에서 얻어진 판단변수에 적용한다. 이렇게 해서 수신기의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 제안된 수신기는 연속해서 3비트를 받은 후에 바로 검출과정을 수행할 수 있다는 잇점이 있다. 지연시간이나 반송파 위상 오차가 존재하는 상황에서 설계된 수신기의 성능변화를 백색 가우시안 채널에서의 여러 가지 시뮬레이션을 통해서 확인하였다. 그 결과 여기에서 제안한 수신기가 기존 수신기나, 병렬 간섭제거기에 비해 성능이 우수하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) is one of the air interface techniques proposed for the third generation (3G) mobile communication system. WCDMA was selected because it fulfills the IMT-2000 requirements for higher data rate trans mission, support of multimedia capabilities and other flexible services due to its variable bit rates and larger bandwidth, improved capacity and coverage, efficient power control and support for advanced and improved detector structures. Performance evaluation of 3G wireless network through simulation plays an important role in the design and implementation of the actual system, aiding the wireless system designer by providing them the necessary performance conformance statistics prior to implementation. In accordance with this goal, a simulator engine was developed entirely on a MATLAB platform to emulate the behaviour of the WCDMA air interface for both the uplink and downlink in a real world fading mobile environment. This paper discuss the development of the simulator along with a brief description of its functionalities and user interface. The WCDMA air interface mode focused in this paper is in accordance to the 3GPPs frequency division duplex (FDD) mode and restricted to the physical layer description. Performance results for the selected cases for the downlink, uplink, varying mobile velocity and sampling rates are also provided.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of digital automatic gain control (AGC) for a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) receiver. The feature of the proposed architecture is simplicity, in that it does not utilize complicated mathematical functions such as log and its inverse. When the proposed algorithm is implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) device, the number of slices used to implement is 130 over the total of 5120 slices (less than 3%) with 61.44 ㎒ clock. This algorithm has been successfully applied to commercial WCDMA base stations.

This study deals with the location management in WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) networks. The new location management method is the one of the many techniques used to provide the packet switched (PS) services effectively in WCDMA networks. WCDMA introduces RA (routing area) for the PS services in addition to LA (location area) for the circuit switched (CS) services. WCDMA system also adopts the cooperative paging and the combined area update which are to decrease signaling traffic using the PS network resources for the CS services. Considering the characteristics of the WCDMA networks, this study formulate into the mathematical programming problem for the location management. Rather than the existing researches which consider the single MSC/SGSN networks, we deal with the multi MSC/SGSN networks, where both MSC area and SGSN area should be determined as well. Fairness between traffic loads of MSC/SGSN and the system cost incurred to MSC/SGSN are also incorporated into our model, which make the model more realistic. We propose greedy algorithms for the problems, which consists of the merger of two neighboring areas and the movement of an area. Extensive experiment has been done based on the realistic problem examples. Followed by the analysis of parameter effect on the final solutions and the quality of final solutions obtained by our greedy algorithms. Our proposed model and analysis result can be used to determine WCDMA system areas and to predict the system performance measures by the determination.

본 논문에서는 feedforward와 post-distortion 기법을 이용하여 평형 증폭기 내에서 발생하는 혼변조 왜곡 성분을 제거할 수 있는 새로운 왜곡 상쇄 메커니즘인 cross post-distortion 선형화 기법을 제안한다. 출력 동적 영역과 대역폭 측면에서 제안하는 선형화 방식은 기존의 feedforward 방식에 뒤지지 않는 성능을 가지고 있으면서 상대적으로 높은 효율을 제공한다. 이론적 뒷받침을 위해 제안하는 시스템과 feedforward 방식의 전력 증폭기와 오차증폭기의 전력 용량을 비교 분석하였고, IMT-2000 대역에서 실제 구현을 통하여 이를 실험적으로 뒷받침하였다. 최대 출력 전력 240 W의 기지국용 상용 대전력 증폭기에 적용했을 때, wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) 4FA 신호에 대하여 평균 출력 전력 40 dBm에서 약 18.6 dB의 개선 효과를 얻었다. 제작된 전력 증폭기는 WCDMA 신호 기준으로 feedforward 방식에 비해 약 2 % 개선된 효율을 보였다.

In this article, we proposed a new interference canceller using the adaptive algorithm. We designed constant modulus algorithm-correlation normailized least mean square (CMA-CNLMS) for wireless system. This structure is normalized LMS algorithm using correlation between the desired and input signal for cancelling the interference signals in the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system. We showed that the proposed algorithm could improve the Mean Square Error (MSE) performance of LMS algorithm. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is employed to analyze the proposed algorithm and to compare it with the experimental results. The MSE value of the LMS with mu=0.0001 was measured as - 12.5 dB, and that of the proposed algorithm was -19.5 dB which showed an improvement of 7dB.
