Abstract

This paper presents a fast and accurate ranging algorithm for the WiBro system. The proposed algorithm detects a received ranging code and estimates its propagation delay using the correlation characteristics of the PRBS (Pseudo Random Binary Sequence) and the circular shift property of the discrete Fourier transform operator. The proposed ranging algorithm was applied to array antenna systems to show how it could improve the ranging performance of an array antenna system compared to a conventional base station system, which uses only a single antenna.

본 논문에서는 와이브로 시스템을 위한 빠르고 정확한 레인징 알고리즘에 대해 소개한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 PRBS(Pseudo Random Binary Sequence)의 상관 특성과 DFT의 circular shift 특성을 이용하여 수신된 레인징 코드를 결정하고 전파 지연을 추정한다. 제안된 레인징 알고리즘을 어레이 안테나 시스템에 적용하여, 단일 안테나 시스템과 비교해 어떻게 레인징 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는지를 알아본다.
