Abstract

In this paper, we propose a grouping technique for the SDD(Synchronous Digital Duplexing) based on OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access). The SDD has advantages of increasing data efficiency and flexibility of resource since SDD can transmit uplink signals and downlink signals simultaneously by using mutual time information and mutual channel information, obtained during mutual ranging process. However, the SDD has a disadvantage of requiring additional CS to maintain orthogonality of OFDMA symbols when the sum of mutual time difference and mutual channel length between AP(access point) and SS(subscriber station) or among SSs are larger than CP length. In order to minimize the length of CS for the case of requiring additional CS in SDD, we proposes a grouping technique which controls transmit timing and receive timing of AP and SS in a cell by classifying them into groups. Performances of the proposed grouping technique are evaluated by computer simulation.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 기반 동기식 디지털 이중화(Synchronous Digital Duplexing) 방식에 적합한 그룹핑 기법을 제안한다. SDD 방식은 상호 레인징(mutual ranging) 과정을 통해 획득한 상호 시간 정보와 상호 채널 정보를 이용하여 상 하향링크 신호를 동시에 전송 가능하기 때문에 자원 할당의 유연성과 데이터 전송 효율이 증가하는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 AP(access point)와 각 SS(subscriber station), SS와 다른 SS 사이의 상호 시간 지연과 상호 채널 길이의 합이 CP(cyclic prefix) 길이보다 긴 경우에는 OFDMA 심볼의 직교성을 유지하기 위해 추가의 CS(cyclic suffix)를 삽입해야하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 SDD 방식에서 추가의 CS가 필요한 경우에 CS 길이를 최소화하기 위하여 셀 내에 존재하는 AP 혹은 SS를 그룹으로 구분하여 송수신 시간을 제어하는 그룹핑 기법을 제안하며, 모의실험을 통해 성능을 비교 분석한다.
