[DESCRIPTION]
[Invention Title]
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BEAMFORMING USING POLARIZED ANTENNA IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
[Technical Field]
[1] The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for beamforming using a polarized antenna in a wireless communication system.
[Background Art]
[2] In the present invention, coupling between elements of a polarized antenna is considered. Coupling between antenna elements changes an antenna radiation pattern, compared to an ideal antenna radiation pattern. Accordingly, there is a need for efficiently controlling coupling between antenna elements.
[Disclosure]
[Technical Problem]
[3] An object of the present invention devised to solve the problem lies on an interference cancellation method using beamforming through a polarized antenna in a wireless communication system.
[Technical Solution]
[4] The object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a transmission apparatus in a wireless communication system, including a processor configured to process a signal, and a multi-polarized antenna including a plurality of antenna elements, configured to transmit the signal.

[5] In another aspect of the present invention, provided herein is a method for transmitting a signal using a multi-polarized antenna including a plurality of antenna elements at a transmission apparatus in a wireless communication system, including transmitting a signal in a radiation pattern generated by applying current to an electric-field dipole antenna and a magnetic-field dipole antenna in the same direction or in opposite directions, the magnetic-field dipole antenna and the electric-field dipole antenna being included in the plurality of antenna elements. [6] In the above aspects of the present invention, if the current is applied to the electric- field dipole antenna and the magnetic-field dipole antenna in the same direction, a radiation pattern of the multi-polarized antenna may include a preferred radiation pattern and a backlobe pattern in a direction opposite to a direction of the preferred radiation pattern.

[Advantageous Effects]
[8] According to embodiments of the present invention, beamforming may be performed efficiently using a polarized antenna in a wireless communication system.
[9] It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the effects that can be achieved with the present invention are not limited to what has been particularly described hereinabove and other advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[Description of Drawings]
[10] The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention.
[1 1 ] In the drawings:
[12] FIG. 1 illustrates an antenna array according to an embodiment of the present invention;
[13] FIG. 2 illustrates an antenna layout for single polarization and an antenna layout for multi-polarization;
[14] FIG. 3 illustrates a beam pattern of a single-polarized antenna array;
[15] FIG. 4 illustrates beam patterns of a multi-polarized antenna array; and [16] FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrate results, of simulations that control the direction of a beam pattern by applying a phase difference to current input to an antenna array.
[Best Mode]
[17] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
[18] The present invention provides a method for physically controlling interference between multiple users by polarization.
[19] Polarization refers to the trace of an electric field drawn on the plane perpendicular to the direction of travel of electromagnetic waves.
[20] In a polarized antenna, elements are densely arranged in a narrow space, thus being susceptible to coupling. Accordingly, it is necessary to efficiently control the coupling.
[21 ] FIG. 1 illustrates an antenna array according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[22] Referring to FIG. 1 , a base station includes a polarized antenna.
[23] When beamforming is performed using the radiation pattern of an electric field in a conventional non-polarization scenario, a backlobe opposite to an intended direction always occurs symmetrically, resulting in interference between multiple users. The present invention is intended to remove a backlobe using polarization, obtain an asymmetric radiation pattern, and control the asymmetric radiation pattern in an intended direction.
[24] First, a scattering channel model reflecting a pattern/polarization/orientation is considered. A matrix representing an electric field radiated from a polarized antenna or a radiation pattern of the polarized antenna may be expressed as the following equation.
[25] Equation 1 ]
Figure imgf000005_0001
[27] where the first row represents a ^-direction component, the second row represents a ^-direction component, and the pattern is normalized to use unit power.
[28] Then a channel model is defined in the form of an array. A matrix representing a linear array of M antennas in three-dimensional space is given as [Equation 2].
[29] [Equation 2]

Figure imgf000005_0002
[30] | exp(-; 27r(M - 1)Δ sin Θ cos φ). [3 1] where Δ js the distance between antennas in an antenna array. It is assumed that each antenna array radiates an electric field independently, without mutual coupling. An electric field radiated from this antenna array may be expressed as Β(Δ, 0, φ) = β* (Δ,θ, ) ® Α{θ, φ") based on pattern multiplication.
[32] Now, performance evaluation will be described. FIG. 2 illustrates an antenna layout for single polarization and an antenna layout for multi-polarization, FIG. 3 illustrates a beam pattern of a single polarized antenna array, and FIG. 4 illustrates beam patterns of a multi-polarized antenna array.
[33] FIG. 3 is a graph illustrating a beam pattern achieved from a single-polarized antenna (i.e. an antenna array of 4 electric-field dipole antennas) as illustrated in FIG. 2 in the case of the above-described channel model. Particularly, it is assumed in FIG. 3 that [1 1 1 1] is applied as an input.
[34] FIG. 4 is graphs illustrating beam patterns achieved from a multi-polarized antenna (i.e. an antenna array of 2 electric-field dipole antennas and 2 magnetic-field dipole antennas) as illustrated in FIG. 2 in the case of the above-described channel model. Particularly, [1 1 1 1] is applied as an input in FIG. 4(a) and [1 -1 1 -1] is applied as an input in FIG. 4(b). If the multi-polarized antenna is used, the conventional symmetric beamforming pattern may be prevented. The radiation pattern may be inversed by applying an input current to the magnetic-field dipole antennas in an opposite direction.
[35] FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrate results of simulations that control the direction of a beam pattern by applying a phase difference to current input to an antenna array. A uniform phase difference is applied to each antenna and the simulations are performed by increasing the phase difference by 30 degrees each time, starting from 0 degree.
[36] To achieve the same beam width in two cases, a single-polarized antenna is configured to be an array of 4 electric-field dipole antennas and a multi-polarized antenna is configured to be an array of 2 electric-field dipole antennas and 2 magnetic-field dipole antennas. A channel input is assumed to be [1 el3r<?) . Particularly, the input is provided to an electric dipole, a magnetic dipole, the other electric dipole, and the other magnetic dipole in this order in the multi-polarized antenna.
[37] That is, FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrate beam patterns according to changes of Φ. FIGS. 5 and
6 illustrate radiation patterns of the single-polarized antenna and FIGS. 7 and 8 illustrate radiation patterns of the multi-polarized antenna. [38] A comparison between FIGS. 5 and 6 and FIGS. 7 and 8 reveals that a radiation pattern may be inversed by applying an input current to the magnetic-field dipole antennas in an opposite direction. Therefore, when a multi-polarized antenna is used, beamforming may be performed in a beam pattern different from the conventional symmetric beam pattern and multiple users may be serviced by respective beams.
[39] The embodiments of the present invention described above are combinations of elements and features of the present invention. The elements or features may be considered selective unless otherwise mentioned. Each element or feature may be practiced without being combined with other elements or features. Further, an embodiment of the present invention may be constructed by combining parts of the elements and/or features.

The memory unit is located at the interior or exterior of the processor and may transmit and receive data to and from the processor via various known means.
