Abstract

In this paper, we propose an adaptive-perturbation-aided opportunistic precoding (APOP) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To update a precoding matrix in MIMO systems, the proposed algorithm produces a random perturbation in each time slot. Then the additional adaptive perturbation is also applied, which depends on the reports of achievable data-rates from users. If the prior random perturbation increased the data rate, the adaptive perturbation is set to be the same as the prior random perturbation, otherwise the negative value of the prior random perturbation is applied for adaptive perturbation. Furthermore, to enhance the achievable data rates, the information on the stored precoding matrices in the memory as well as the currently generated precoding matrix is used for scheduling. Simulation results show that compared to conventional opportunistic precoding schemes, higher data rates are achieved by the proposed APOP scheme, especially when there are a relatively small number of users.

본 논문에서는 MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple Output, 다중입출력) 시스템을 위한 적응형 섭동을 이용한 기회적 프리코딩(Adaptive Perturbation-aided Opportunistic Precoding) 방식을 제안한다. 제안 프리코딩 방식에서는 MIMO 시스템을 위한 프리코딩 행렬을 생성할 때 랜덤한 섭동 뿐 아니라 사용자로부터 받은 전송률 정보에 의해 결정되는 적응적 변화값을 함께 이용한다. 이전 시간의 랜덤 섭동이 전송속도를 상승시켰을 경우 적응형 섭동을 이전 랜덤 섭동과 동일하게 하고, 그렇지 않을 경우 이전 랜덤한 섭동 값의 음의 값에 해당하는 값을 적용시킨다. 또한 전송 속도 최적화를 위해 스케줄링에서 현재 생성된 프리코딩 행렬 뿐 아니라 메모리에 저장된 최근 프리코딩 행렬 정보도 함께 이용한다. 모의실험 결과에서 기존 프리코딩 방식에 비해 제안한 섭동 기반 기회적 프리코딩 방식이 높은 전송속도를 얻으며, 특히 사용자의 수가 적은 환경에서 전송 속도 이득이 큰 것을 확인할 수 있다.
