초록

본 논문에서는 공간 다중화 방식과 다중안테나 다이버시티 기법에 대한 안테나 선택 및 스위칭 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은, 공간적 상관도가 존재하는 채널에서, 안테나 선택을 통해 공간적 상관도를 극복하고 다이버시티와 공간다중화의 스위칭을 통해서 시스템의 오차확률을 개선시킨다. 즉, 제안된 시스템은, 4×2 안테나 환경에서 2개의 전송 안테나를 선택하고, STTD와 BLAST를 순시 채널 정보에 따라 비교하여, 안테나를 선택하고 두 기법을 스위칭 하는 시스템을 제안한다. 모의 실험을 통해, 제안한 안테나 선택 및 스위칭 기법이 2×2 시스템에서 안테나 스위칭 기법보다 낮은 상관도에서 약 2.3㏈, 높은 상관도에서 약 3㏈의 성능 향상이 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper proposes an antenna selection and switching system between spatial multiplexing and diversity techniques. The proposed system overcomes spatial correlation by using antenna selection method and improve bit error performance with switching encoding nudes between a spatial multipexing encoder and a diversity encoder. Therefore, in a 4 transmit and 2 receive antenna system first, the proposed system selects 2 transmit antennas, and next, switches encoding modes between Space-Time Transmit Diversity and BLAST according to instantaneous channel information. Computer simulations showed that the proposed system improves about 2 or 3 ㏈ SNR in low correlated channel and about 3 ㏈ SNR in highly correlated channel rather than a 2 by 2 antenna switching system.
