Summary :

This paper proposes a 2-dimensional linear propagation prediction (LPP) in maximal ratio combining (MRC) transmitter diversity for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) time division multiple access--time division duplex (TDMA/TDD) systems in order to overcome the degradation of the transmission performance due to the fast fading or the TDD duration. In the proposed scheme, the downlink channel condition of each sub-channel is predicted by interpolating the uplink fading fluctuation with both the amplitude and phase, and the predicted downlink channel condition is used for the weighting factor to employ MRC transmitter diversity. Numerical results obtained by the computer simulation show that the proposed 2-dimensional LPP with the second-order Lagrangeis interpolation predicts the downlink channel condition accurately under the fast fading or the long TDD duration. Moreover, in such a condition, the proposed LPP provides far better performance than the conventional 1-dimensional LPP.
