AN ADAPTIVE CHANNEL PREDICTION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR UPLINK PRE-EQUALIZATION IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING ORTHGONAL FREQUNCY DIVISION MULTIPLEXING/TIME DIVISION DUPLEX ACCORDING TO THE QUANTITY OF DOWNLINK CHANNEL VARIATION

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for changing a channel prediction depending on the degree of downlink channel variation in predicting an uplink channel for uplink pre-equalization. N number of Doppler frequency ranges are set according to downlink channel variation degrees, and uplink channel prediction schemes corresponding to the respective Doppler frequency ranges are established. A Doppler frequency is measured from a signal received over a downlink channel, and the Doppler frequency range, within which the measured Doppler frequency is included, is determined from among the Doppler frequency ranges. The channel prediction scheme established corresponding to the determined Doppler frequency is selected, and the uplink pre-equalization is performed by using the selected channel prediction scheme. This enables uplink pre-equalization that is suitable for a channel varying with a terminal's moving speed or other channel environments.
