Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the block linear MMSE equalization for OFDM systems in doubly selective channels by computer simulations. The block linear MMSE equalization shows somewhat unusual BER characteristics in that the BER curve drops at first as SNR increases but then rises up as SNR increases further beyond some point. In this paper, we investigate the BER characteristics of the block linear MMSE equalization by analyzing the condition number of the coefficient matrix in the linear system involved in the equalization process, and propose a new method to avoid the BER performance degradation at high SNR.

본 논문에서는 이중 선택적 채널 OFDM 시스템을 위한 블록 선형 MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error) 등화 방식의 성능을 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 분석한다. 블록 선형 MMSE 등화 방식의 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능은 SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio)이 증가함에 따라 BER이 처음에는 감소하다가 SNR이 일정 값을 넘어서면 BER이 오히려 증가하는 다소 특이한 현상을 나타낸다. 본 논문에서는 블록 선형 MMSE 등화 과정에 포함된 선형연립방정식 계수 행렬의 상태수(condition number) 분석을 통하여 이러한 블록 선형 MMSE 등화 방식의 BER 특성을 규명하고 높은 SNR 값에서의 BER 성능 저하를 개선하는 새로운 방안을 제시한다.
