Abstract

In this paper, a novel transmission scheme with spatial modulation is proposed for coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). The multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique, so-called spatial modulation (SM), divides input data into antenna index and data signals, transmitting data signals through the specific antenna chosen by the antenna index. In order to retrieve data stream at the receiver, SM needs to detect the antenna index which means that data signals are transmitted via a certain antenna. For this reason, it should be guaranteed that channel matrix is orthogonal. For the real environment, a MIMO channel has difficulty in maintaining orthogonality due to spatial correlation. Moreover, the receiver of the conventional SM is operated by hard decision, so that this scheme has a limit to be adopted for practical systems. Therefore, soft-output demappers for the conventional and proposed schemes are derived to detect antenna index and data stream by soft decision, and a novel transmission scheme combined with spatial modulation is proposed to improve the bit error rate (BER) performance of the conventional scheme.

본 논문에서는 채널 부호회된 OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) 시스템을 위한 공간 변조를 이용한 새로운 전송 기법을 제안한다. 공간 변조라 불리는 개루프 (open-loop) 방식의 다중 안테나 기술은 업력 데이터를 안테나 인텍스(index) 신호와 데이터 신호로 나누고, 안테나 인텍스 신호에 따라 다수의 송신안테나 중 하나의 송신안테나를 선택하여 데이터 신호를 전송한다. 공간 변조는 수신기에서 송신된 신호가 어떤 안테나로부터 보내졌는지를 의미하는 안테나 인텍스를 검출해야 하는데, 이를 위해서 채널 행렬의 직교성이 보장되어야 한다. 실제 채널은 무시하지 못할 정도의 채널 상관도로 인해 직교성을 유지하지 못한다. 또한 기존 공간 변조를 위한 수신기는 경판정 방식을 취하고 있으므로, 실제 시스템에 이를 활용하기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 공간 변조 기법이 연판정 수신을 할 수 있도록 소프트 출력 디맵퍼 (soft-output demapper)를 유도하고, 기존 기법의 수신 성능을 개선하기 위해 새로운 구조의 전송 기법을 제안한다.
