Abstract

In this paper, we propose robust relay and destination filter design methods for the multi-user peer-to-peer amplify-and-forward relaying systems while taking imperfect channel knowledge into consideration. Specifically, the relay and destination filter sets are developed to minimize the sum mean-squared-error (MSE). We first present a robust joint optimum relay and destination filter calculation method with an iterative algorithm. Motivated by the need to reduce computational complexity of the iterative scheme, we then formulate a simplified sum MSE minimization problem using the relay filter decomposability, which lead to two robust sub-optimum non-iterative design methods. Finally, we propose robust modified destination filter design methods which require only local channel state information between relay node and a specific destination node. The analysis and simulation results verify that, compared with the optimum iterative method, the proposed non-iterative schemes suffer a marginal loss in performance while enjoying significantly improved implementation efficiencies. Also it is confirmed that the proposed robust filter design methods provide desired robustness in the presence of channel uncertainty.

본 논문에서는 부정확한 채널 정보가 주어진 환경에서 multi-user peer-to-peer 증폭 및 전달 릴레이 시스템에 대한 robust 릴레이 및 수신기 필터 설계 방법을 제안한다. 구체적으로, 평균 자승 오류율 합을 최소화 하는 관점에서 릴레이 및 수신기 필터를 구한다. 우선 iterative 연산이 필요한 joint 최적화 필터 설계 방법을 제시한다. 그리고 iterative 방법의 연산 복잡도를 개선하기 위해 릴레이 필터의 분해능에 기반을 둔 두 가지 robust non-iterative 부최적화 방법을 제안한다. 또한 릴레이와 특정 수신기 간의 local channel state information 만을 이용하는 변형된 수신기 설계 방법을 추가적으로 제안한다. 연산 복잡도 분석과 평균 자승 오류율 합 및 비트 오류율 성능을 확인하는 실험을 통해, 제안하는 robust non-iterative 부최적화 방법이 robust iterative 최적화 방법과 비교해 연산량 감소 효과는 크면서 성능 열화는 제한적임을 확인하였다. 그리고 채널 정보의 부정확함이 존재하는 시스템 환경에서 제안하는 방법의 상당한 robustness 를 확인하였다.
