Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
First, a downlink multi-antenna transmission system in the embodiment of the present invention includes a signal transmitting end and a signal receiving end. The signal sending end can process multi-user data based on a mode of combining a PDMA technology and an SFBC MIMO mode, and therefore, the PDMA technology distinguishes multiple users by combining an encoding domain, a power domain and a space domain of time-frequency resources, and compared with the existing SFBC mode, the mode of combining the PDMA technology and the SFBC MIMO mode can further improve the number of access users. The signal receiving end mainly corresponds to the detection of a user (i.e., a user terminal).
Next, a procedure of processing multi-user data by combining the PDMA technology and the MIMO mode of SFBC at the signal transmitting end is described with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2.
Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of processing multi-user data by a signal transmitting end based on a combination of a PDMA technology and an SFBC MIMO mode in the embodiment of the present invention is shown. The process of processing the multi-user data by the signal sending end comprises the following steps:
step1, at the signal sending end, after the multi-user data is channel coded, PDMA coding modulation is carried out; the PDMA coded modulation can adopt the traditional modulation constellation mapping, and can also carry out new coded modulation according to the used PDMA coding pattern;
step2, performing PDMA power distribution on the channel data of each channel by taking the PDMA code word as a unit; wherein, the power of each user data can be adjusted according to the power control indicated by the base station, and different powers can be allocated to the user data corresponding to each PDMA pattern by one user;
step3, mapping the PDMA code word modulation symbol of each channel data to the MIMO layer; the PDMA code modulation symbols after power adjustment are mapped to one or more transmission layers (layers), where the total number of transmission layers is L, and the mapping can be performed according to the existing LTE rule;
step4, after mapping is finished, MIMO pre-coding based on SFBC is carried out; in this precoding procedure, the same SFBC-based MIMO precoding matrix is used on all frequency domain resources, corresponding to that in FIG. 2
Step5, after MIMO pre-coding based on SFBC, PDMA resource mapping is carried out on channel data of each channel; in the PDMA resource mapping, the PDMA code word is mapped to a corresponding time frequency Resource (RB) of the PDMA time frequency resource group according to the indication of the PDMA coding matrix, as shown in fig. 2; for example, the PDMA coding matrix may be
2 time frequency resources are adopted to transmit 3 users, wherein '1' represents mapping, and '0' represents non-mapping;
step6, performing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation on each path of data after resource mapping, generating and transmitting an OFDM signal; i.e. OFDM signals for each antenna port are generated.
Compared with the traditional orthogonal SFBC-based MIMO mode, the introduction of the PDMA technology needs to add PDMA coding modulation, PDMA power allocation, PDMA code modulation symbol to MIMO layer mapping, PDMA resource mapping and the like to a signal sending end. Wherein the PDMA codeword corresponds to the PDMA coding momentArray of arrays, the PDMA encoding matrix being denoted
N represents the total resource number for PDMA resource mapping, and K represents the number of users multiplexed on N resources.
It should be noted that fig. 2 is a block diagram of an implementation of PDMA and SFBC-based MIMO precoding in the embodiment of the present invention. For the open-loop SFBC transmission mode, the data layers of K users using different PDMA code words are superposed on N time-frequency resources, and the power p of the data layer of each PDMA code word is adjustedkThe purpose of sending data to a plurality of user terminals at the same time can be achieved.
After the description of the processing procedure at the signal transmitting end, the following description will be made of the detection procedure at the signal receiving end.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the signal receiving end mainly corresponds to the detection of the user terminal, including but not limited to the following two detection methods: a detection method based on a belief propagation BP detector and a detection method based on a belief propagation-iterative decoding BP-IDD detector.
Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal detection method, applied to a signal receiving end, including the following steps:
step 301: determining an equivalent channel response matrix of PDMA (data packet access) combined with SFBC (pseudo-wideband code block code) of all users on all actual physical resource units, wherein the PDMA is obtained by the target user from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna on each actual physical resource unit;
step 302: determining PDMA received signal vectors received by the target user on all receiving antennas and all actual physical resource units according to the received signals of the target user on each actual physical resource unit from the transmitting antennas to the receiving antennas;
step 303: performing joint detection according to the PDMA combined with an equivalent channel response matrix of SFBC and a PDMA received signal vector to obtain a log-likelihood ratio LLR of the target user;
step 304: and decoding the LLR to obtain the information source bit information of the target user.
Thus, the signal detection method of the embodiment of the invention obtains the LLR of the target user by determining the PDMA combined with the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix and the PDMA received signal vector, and performing joint detection according to the PDMA combined with the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix and the PDMA received signal vector to obtain the LLR of the target user, and decodes the obtained LLR to obtain the information source bit information of the target user, so that the signal receiving end can utilize multi-beam information to realize user detection on the premise that the signal transmitting end processes multi-user data based on the PDMA technology and the SFBC MIMO mode combined mode, and the detection performance of the downlink multi-antenna transmission system is improved.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the process of determining the equivalent channel response matrix of the PDMA combined with the SFBC obtained by the target user by the signal receiving end specifically includes:
determining an SFBC equivalent channel response matrix of the target user on all receiving antennas and two basic actual physical resource units according to the channel response of the target user from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna on each actual physical resource unit;
and determining the equivalent channel response matrix of the PDMA combined with the SFBC obtained by the target user according to the PDMA coding matrix, the PDMA power distribution matrix and the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix.
The physical resource units are components of time-frequency resources, and each time-frequency resource generally corresponds to two physical resource units. The basic actual physical resource unit is specifically a set standard of all actual physical resource units, and a fixed frequency offset exists between the basic actual physical resource unit and the non-basic actual physical resource unit. For example, for the basic actual physical resource unit 2i and the non-basic actual physical resource unit 2j, the corresponding relationship between the two may be 2 j-2 i +2 × dela _ F, where 2 × dela _ F represents a fixed frequency offset, and the value of dela _ F is an integer greater than or equal to 1.
The SFBC equivalent channel response matrix is related to an SFBC-based MIMO precoding matrix in the encoding process of a signal transmitting end, namely the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix is obtained byDescribed in
And (4) obtaining.
And the signal receiving end determines the mode of combining the PDMA obtained by the target user with the equivalent channel response matrix of the SFBC according to the PDMA coding matrix, the PDMA power distribution matrix and the equivalent channel response matrix of the SFBC specifically as follows:
according to the PDMA coding matrix, the PDMA power distribution matrix and the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix, determining the equivalent channel response matrix of the PDMA combined with the SFBC according to the following formula I:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,

the direct product is represented by the direct product,
PDMA coding matrix representing K users on N time frequency resources, each time frequency resource comprises two actual physical resource units,
a PDMA power allocation matrix representing K users, where only the main diagonal elements have values.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the PDMA may be represented by the following formula two in combination with the correspondence between the SFBC equivalent channel response matrix and the PDMA received signal vector:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the PDMA representing the target user k receives the signal vector,

PDMA,SFBCAnd representing SFBC equivalent transmission modulation signal vectors of all users, wherein the modulation orders of all users are embodied, and N represents interference signals and additive white Gaussian noise AWGN of the adjacent cells.
In the embodiment of the invention, due to the particularity of the equivalent channel response matrix after combining the PDMA coding matrix and the SFBC, the modulation order and the specific constellation mapping mode of the target user, the LLR of the target user obtained after the joint detection usually has a difference with the real LLR, and in order to obtain the real LLR, the negative sign operation needs to be carried out on the LLR of the corresponding bit position. For example, for QPSK and 16QAM modulation, when Gray mapping is used, the LLR corresponding to the second bit position of the modulation symbol takes a negative sign.
Therefore, the signal detection method according to the embodiment of the present invention, after obtaining the LLR of the target user and before decoding the obtained LLR, further includes:
and carrying out negative sign taking processing on the corresponding bit position of the LLR according to the modulation order and the constellation mapping mode of the target user.
And decoding the obtained LLR to obtain the information source bit information of the target user, specifically:
and decoding the processed LLR to obtain the information source bit information of the target user.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the method for performing joint detection at the signal receiving end specifically includes:
and inputting the PDMA combined with an equivalent channel response matrix of the SFBC and a PDMA received signal vector into a BP detector or a BP-IDD detector for joint detection to obtain the LLR of the target user.
Further, in order to improve the detection accuracy, when the signal receiving end performs the joint detection, the interference noise power may be considered in addition to the PDMA combining the equivalent channel response matrix of the SFBC and the PDMA received signal vector. Namely, when the signal receiving end performs joint detection, joint detection can be performed according to the PDMA in combination with the equivalent channel response matrix of the SFBC, the PDMA received signal vector and the interference noise power, so as to obtain the LLR of the target user.

Each downlink user respectively experiences different channels, and BP multi-user iterative detection processing is respectively carried out on own received signals. Without loss of generality, the signal detection process in the first example is illustrated by taking user k (k ═ 1,2,3) as an example.

Step3, carrying out minus sign processing on the bit position corresponding to the output LLR of the user k; because the PDMA coding matrix and the SFBC are combined to obtain the equivalent channel response matrix, i.e. the odd and even subcarriers are distinguished, the data modulation symbol input to the BP detector is unchanged at the odd subcarriers, and the data on the even subcarriers are conjugated and then sent to the BP detector, the output LLR is processed correspondingly before being sent to the Turbo decoder.
For example: two consecutive data modulation symbols for

Such as: in the case of QPSK modulation (b represents a bit), the data modulation symbol is x ═ I + j × Q, where I and Q represent the real part and imaginary part of the data modulation symbol, respectively;
thus, after the data modulation symbol is conjugated, the second bit corresponding to the symbol is inverted. Thus, the LLR value corresponding to the second bitbit,(i,2)The inverse can be obtained to correspond to the true value.
And Step4, inputting the processed LLR into a Turbo decoder to obtain information source bit information actually sent to the user k by the base station.

As each downlink user respectively experiences different channels, BP-IDD multi-user iterative detection processing is respectively carried out aiming at the received signal of the user. Without loss of generality, the signal detection process in example two is illustrated by taking user k (k ═ 1,2 … 5, 6) as an example.
