Uplink Power Control Scheme for Virtual MIMO Multi-Cell Systems

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 논문은 단일 송신안테나를 갖는 다수의 모바일 터미널이 가상 MIMO 링크를 구성하는 MIMO 시스템에서의 역방향 전력 제어 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 성능을 향상 시키기 위하여 전력 벌칙 항을 추가하는 게임이론 기반의 전력 제어 방식과 달리, 전체 유효 간섭 전력에 대한 제한 조건 하에서 선형 수신 빔형성을 이용한 전송율의 유틸리티 함수를 최대화 하는 방법을 고려하였다. 또한, 전력제어 과정에 이너시아를 도입하여 제안 전력 제어가 수렴함을 보였다. 모의 실험을 통하여 간섭이 지배적인 다중셀 시스템에서 제안 전력 제어 방법이 시스템의 성능을 크게 향상 시킴을 입증하였다.

This paper considers an uplink power control scheme for a virtual multi-input multi-output (MIMO) multi-cell system where multiple mobile stations with single transmit antenna form a virtual MIMO link. Unlike the conventional approach of the game theoretic formulation to add a power penalty term to improve the performance, a constraint on the total effective interference power is introduced to the maximization of the utility function of the transmission rate with linear receive beamforming. Introducing inertia, we show that the proposed power control is guaranteed to converge. The simulation results verify that the proposed power allocation can significantly improve the performance in an interference limited multi-cell system.
