Precoding in the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system is investigated. In conventional wideband precoding (WBP), only one precoder, obtained from the decomposition of the subcarrier independent channel matrix, is used for all subcarriers. With an investigation of the relationship between the subcarrier independent channel matrix and the temporal/frequency channels, an improved WBP scheme is proposed for practical scenarios in which a part of subcarriers are allocated to a user. The improved WBP scheme is a generalized scheme of which narrow-band precoding and conventional WBP schemes are special modes. Simulation results demonstrate that the improved WBP scheme almost achieves the optimum performance of a single precoder and outperforms the conventional WBP scheme in terms of the bit error ratio and ergodic capacity with slight complexity increase. The largest advantage of the improved WBP scheme on signal-to-noise ratio in simulation results is over 2.1 dB.

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.

LTE-Advanced 시스템은 최대 15bps/Hz의 주파수 효율을 달성하기 위해 상향링크 다중 안테나 전송을 지원해야 한다 본 논문은 LTE-Advanced 상향링크 MIMO 시스템 구조를 제안하고 프리코딩에 의한 링크 적응방식을 고려하여 단말당 오류율을 줄이고 시스템 용량을 향상시키는데 기여할 수 있다 특히, $2{\times}4$ MIMO 시스템에서 최적의 프리코딩 행렬을 선택하여 랭크를 결정하는 방식을 제안하고 MMSE(minimum mean squared error) 수신기에 대한 SINR(signal-to-interference and noise ratio)을 유도한다. 제안 방식의 성능 검증을 위해 실질적인 MIMO 채널 모델에서 BLER(BLock Error Rate) 시뮬레이션을 수행한다. 제안 방식이 full-rank로 고정해서 보내는 경우 보다 더 좋은 성능을 발휘하며 MCS가 낮거나 고속 이동시에 더 큰 이득을 얻을 수 있다.
