Abstract

Turbo codes of long block sizes have been known to show very good performance in an AWGN channel and the turbo code has been strongly recommended as error correction code for W-CDMA in 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project). Recently, turbo codes of short block sizes suitable for real time communication systems have attracted a lot of attention. Thus, in this paper we consider the turbo code of 1/3 code rate and short frame size of 192 bits in ITU-R channel model. We analyzed the performance of W-CDMA systems of 10MHz bandwidths employing RAKE receiver with not only MRC diversity but also SOVA-based turbo code.

긴 블럭 크기의 터보부호는 AWGN(Additive White Gaussian Noise) 채널 환경에서 매우 좋은 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 또한 3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project)의 W-CDMA(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access)에서는 터보부호를 에러 정정 코드로 강력하게 권장하고 있다. 최근 실시간 통신 시스템을 위해서 짧은 블럭 크기를 갖는 터보부호에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 ITU-R 실측 채널 모델에서 1/3의 부호화율과 192 비트의 짧은 프레임 크기를 갖는 터보부호를 고려하였다. 본 논문에서는 MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) 다이버시티와 SOVA(Soft Output Viterbi Algorithm)에 기초한 터보부호를 동시에 갖는 RAKE 수신기를 적용한 10MHz 시스템 대역폭을 갖는 W-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다.
