Abstract

LTE-A (long term evolution advanced) uplink selected SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access) to maintain low PAPR for a low price and tiny terminal. Recently, the application of codebook-based preceding to LIE-A uplink is discussed. This paper shows that PAPR can be increased when various preceding schems are applied to the SC-FDMA as an LTE-A uplink. When, considering nonlinear power amplifier model to the transmitter, BER performances of preceded schemes degrade. But equal gain transmission scheme does show very low PAPR. So the link-level performance of EGT is superior to those of any other preceding schemes. Computer simulations also confirm the anticipated link-level performances.

LIT (long-term evolution) 상향링크 송신부는 소형, 저가 단말기를 구현하기 위해 낮은 PAPR을 유지하는 SC-FDMA 변조 방식을 채택하였다. 최근 LIT-A 상향링크에서는 SC-FDMA 변조방식에 MIMO 기법 중 하나인 코드북을 이용한 preceding을 적용하는 것을 논의하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SC-FDMA에 다양한 precoding을 적용하면 PAPR이 증가할 수 있음을 보인다. 따라서 비선형 전력 증폭기를 송신부에 고려한 채널 모델에서 선부호화를 적용하면 링크레벨 성능이 감소하게 된다. 그러나 동 이득 전송 기법을 채택하면 성능 감소가 거의 없으므로, 비선형 증폭기를 고려한 성능은 다른 기법보다 매우 우수하다 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결과도 이러한 성능을 보여준다.
