Abstract

In this paper, we propose a maximum likelihood signal detection scheme for a generalized spatial modulation system that activates only a subset of transmit antennas among multiple antennas and transmits information through the indexes of active antennas as well as through the transmit symbols. The proposed maximum likelihood receiver extracts a set of candidate solutions based on their a posteriori probabilities to lower the computational load of the robust receiver under channel information errors. Then, the chosen candidate solutions are exploited to estimate the covariance matrix of effective noise. Simulation results show that the proposed maximum likelihood detection scheme achieves better error performance than a receiver that does not take into account the channel information errors. It is also seen that it reduces the computational complexity with the same bit error rate performance as the conventional robust maximum likelihood receiver.

본 논문에서는 다중 안테나 구조 중 일부 송신 안테나만 활성화하고 활성 안테나의 인덱스를 통해 정보를 전송하는 일반화 공간변조(Generalized Spatial Modulation)시스템을 위한 최대우도 신호 검파 방법을 제안한다. 제안 최대 우도 수신기는 기존의 채널 정보 오차에 강인한 최대 우도 수신기와 비교하여 공분산 행렬을 추정할 때 후보 해 집합을 확률적으로 추출하여 공분산 행렬을 추정함으로써 시스템 복잡도를 크게 줄이도록 한다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안 최대 우도 수신기가 기존의 채널 정보 오차를 고려하지 않는 수신기보다 높은 수신 성능을 가지며, 기존 강인 최대우도 수신기와 비교하여 동일한 비트 오류율 성능을 가지면서도 큰 폭으로 계산 복잡도를 낮춤을 확인하였다.
