Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently multiuser multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) systems have attracted attention as frequency efficient systems. However, in uplink MU-MIMO systems, different frequency offsets among multiple mobile stations (MSs) significantly degrade the transmission quality especially when orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is used. In this paper, the influence of the frequency offset is first analyzed in a frequency selective fading environment. Numerical analysis shows that an error floor occurs in the bit error rate and the influence of the frequency offset becomes larger in a short delay spread environment. To overcome this problem, a new beamforming method is proposed to compensate for the frequency offset by introducing an auto frequency controller after the frequency-space equalization in each data stream. The effect of the proposed method is evaluated in a frequency selective fading environment by computer simulation.
