Abstract

In the noncoherent methods for UWB-IR (ultra-wideband impulse radio), block coded modulation (BCM) is better than the transmitted reference (TR) systems in terms of the energy efficiency and data rate. However, even BCM suffers from the performance degradation in the presence of strong inter-frame interference and inter symbol interference. We propose the transmitted reference based on the BCM (TR-BCM) which is the hybrid system of TR and BCM. Performance evaluation shows that the performance of TR-BCM is better than that of BCM in the high SNR range.

광대역 통신을 위한 비동기 (noncoherent) 수신기인 CMSA (codeword matching and signal aggregation) 방식을 이용한 BCM (block coded modulation) 방식은 TR (transmitted reference) 방식보다 에너지 효율적인 방식으로 알려져 있다. 그러나, 프레임간 간섭/심볼간 간섭 (IFI/ISI : interframe interference/inter symbol interference)가 존재하는 채널 환경에서는 신호대 잡음비 (SNR : signal to noise ratio)가 증가하더라도, 수신 신호의 전력이 증가하는 것과 동시에 인접한 코드간의 간섭의 증가로 인하여 비트오율 (BER : bit error rate) 등과 같은 성능향상이 제한적으로 이루어진다. 제안하는 방식은 BCM의 부호 정합 (code matching) 대신에 TR 신호를 기반으로 블록 부호화된 기준틀 (block coded template)을 구성한 후, 수신신호에 상관기 (correlator)를 통과하여 송신신호를 추정하는 방식이다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안하는 방식이 BCM보다 우수한 성능을 확인할 수 있다.
