Description

APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CODING/DECODTNG CHANNELS IN A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to coding/decoding technology in a communication system, and in particular, to a coding/decoding apparatus and method for a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) mobile communication system using an error correcting code.
2. Description of the Related Art
An LMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication-2000) system, a future CDMA mobile communication system, transmits user data for a voice service, an image, service and a data service, along with control data for performing the services. It is important to minimize errors occurring during the transmission of such data in order to improve the quality of the services. To this end, error correcting codes for correcting data bit errors are used to minimize the errors occurring during transmission of the data. Since using the error correcting codes is aimed at minimizing the data bit errors of the transmission data, it is very important to use optimal error correcting codes.
Typically, Linear codes are used for the error correcting codes, because it is easy to analyze their performances. Hamming distance distribution for codewords of the error correcting codes serve as a measure indicating the performance of the linear codes. The "Hamming distance" is the consecutive number of non-zero symbols in a codeword. That is, for a certain codeword '0111', the consecutive number of 1 's included in the codeword is 3, so that the Hamming distance is 3. The smallest value among the Hamming distance values is called a "minimum distance", and an increase in the minimum distance of the codeword improves the error correcting performance of the codeword. In other words, the "optimal code" means a code having the optimal error correcting performance.
A paper, An Updated Table of Minimum-Distance Bounds for Binary Linear
Codes (A.E. Brouwer and Tom Verhoeff, IEEE Transactions on information Theory, VOL 39, NO. 2, MARCH 1993), discloses an intercode minimum distance, which depends on the input and output values of the binary liner codes and is adapted to generate optimal codes depending on the number of coded symbols generated by encoding input information bits.
The paper discloses a (12,5) linear code for which the number of input information bits is 5 and the number of output coded symbols is 12, and its optimal code has the minimum distance of 4. Therefore, when using the (12,5) linear code, it is necessary to consider both using the optimal code having the minimum distance of 4 and creating the optimal code having the minimum distance of 4, while at the same time, minimizing hardware complexity.
In addition, the paper discloses a (24,6) linear code for which the number of input information bits is 6 and the number of output coded symbols is 24. Its optimal code has the minimum distance of 10. Therefore, when using the (24,6) linear code, it is necessary to consider both using the optimal code having the minimum distance of 10 and creating the optimal code having the minimum distance of 10 while minimizing hardware complexity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.
The present invention provides two different embodiments. A first embodiment realizes a coding apparatus for creating an optimal (12,5) codeword and a decoding apparatus for decoding the created (12,5) codeword in a mobile communication system using an error correcting code. A second embodiment realizes a coding apparatus for creating an optimal (24,6) codeword and a decoding apparatus for decoding the created (24,6) codeword in a mobile communication system using an error correcting code. The embodiments create an optimal codeword by puncturing symbols at specific locations among the coded symbols comprising a first order Reed-Muller codeword. The first embodiment creates a first order Reed-Muller codeword comprised of 16 coded symbols by receiving an information bit stream comprised of 5 bits, and then creates a (12,5) codeword by puncturing 4 coded symbols from the 16 coded symbols. The second embodiment creates a first order Reed-Muller codeword comprised of 32 coded symbols by receiving an information bit stream comprised of 6 bits, and then creates a (24,6) codeword by puncturing 8 coded symbols from the 32 coded symbols.
First Embodiment The first embodiment of the present invention provides a scheme for creating a codeword by using a (12,5) linear code as an optimal error correcting code for the CDMA mobile communication system and then decoding the created (12,5) codeword. For example, the first embodiment uses as an error correcting code, a (12,5) first order Reed-Muller code obtained by puncturing 4 symbols from 16 coded symbols comprising a first order Reed-Muller codeword with a length 16.
Although there are innumberable ways to create the (12,5) first order Reed-Muller code, it is possible not only to minimize hardware complexity but also to create an optimal codeword by utilizing the method of creating a first order Reed-Muller code and then puncturing the created first order Reed-Muller code as in the first embodiment of the present invention. A drastic reduction in a length of the first order Reed-Muller code contributes to minimization of the hardware complexity. In addition, it is not only possible to minimize the hardware complexity but also to create a code optimized for error correcting performance, by puncturing the first order Reed-Muller codeword. As stated above, the embodiment of the present invention uses the first order Reed-Muller code as an error correcting code, and herein, a bi-orthogonal codeword is used for the first order Reed-Muller code.
As stated above, the (12,5) codeword is created by puncturing 4 symbols from 16 coded symbols (bi-orthogonal code symbols) comprising a first order Reed- Muller codeword with a length 16. A minimum distance dmin of the codeword depends upon the puncturing positions where the 4 symbols are punctured from the 16 bi-orthogonal code symbols. As previously mentioned, the minimum distance of a codeword refers to the smallest value among the Hamming distance values of the codeword, and an increase in the minimum distance improves error correcting performance of a linear error correcting code. Therefore, it is important to determine proper puncturing positions in order to create a (12,5) bi-orthogonal codeword having excellent error correcting performance in the first order Reed-Muller codeword with a length 16.
Puncturing patterns for the 4 puncturing positions needed to create an optimal (12,5) codeword can be experimentally calculated. There are 16 typical puncturing patterns: {1, 2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5, 6}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {7, 8, 9, 10}, {9, 10, 11, 12}, { 11, 12, 13, 14}, {2, 4, 6, 8} , {3, 5, 7, 9}, {6, 8, 10, 12} , {7, 9, 11, 13}, {0, 3, 6,
9}, { 1, 4, 7, 10) , {2, 5, 8, 11 ) , {4, 7, 10, 13}, {5, 8, 11, 14}, and {6, 9, 12, 15}. A first order Reed-Muller codeword is comprised of 16 coded symbols of 0th to 15th coded symbols. For example, the puncturing pattern { 1, 2, 3, 4} is a puncturing pattern for puncturing 4 consecutive coded symbols from the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword at an interval of 1 symbol, beginning at a 1st coded symbol. The puncturing pattern {2, 4, 6, 8} is a puncturing pattern for puncturing 4 coded symbols from the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword at intervals of 2 symbols, beginning at a 2nd coded symbol. The puncturing pattern {0, 3, 6, 9} is a puncturing pattern for puncturing 4 coded symbols from the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword at intervals of 3 symbols, beginning at a 0th coded symbol. In this way, the 16 puncturing patterns have their own regularities. In the 6 puncturing patterns { 1, 2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5, 6}, {5, 6, 7, 8}, {7, 8, 9, 10}, {9, 10, 11, 12}, and { 11, 12, 13, 14}, the puncturing positions of the coded symbols have an equal interval of 1. In the 4 puncturing patterns {2, 4, 6, 8}, {3, 5, 7, 9}, {6, 8, 10, 12}, and {7, 9, 11, 13}, the puncturing positions of the coded symbols have an equal interval of 2. In the 6 puncturing patterns {0, 3, 6, 9}, { 1, 4, 7, 10}, {2, 5, 8, 11}, {4, 7, 10, 13}, {5, 8, 11, 14}, and {6, 9, 12, 15 } , the puncturing positions of the coded symbols have an equal interval of 3. If a transmitter of the mobile communication system uses the puncturing patterns having the regularities during coding, a receiver associated with the transmitter should also use the puncturing patterns having the same regularities during decoding by previous agreement. This agreement is generally prescribed by a communication protocol. However, it is also possible for the transmitter to inform the receiver of the puncturing positions.
FIG. 1 illustrates a structure of a coding apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a coding apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes a (12,5) encoder 100 for outputting 12 coded symbols by receiving a 5 -bit information bit stream. The (12,5) encoder 100 includes a (16,5) bi-orthogonal encoder 110 and a puncturer 120. The bi-orthogonal encoder (Reed-Muller encoder) 110 in the (12,5) coding apparatus 100 encodes a 5-bit input information bit stream of aO, al, a2, a3 and a4 into a first order Reed-Muller codeword (a stream of coded symbols) of length 16.
The puncturer 120 receives the stream of the coded symbols of length 16, output from the bi-orthogonal encoder 110, and punctures 4 coded symbols at the puncturing positions corresponding to a predetermined puncturing pattern, from the coded symbols of length 16. As a result, the puncturer 120 outputs a stream of 12 coded symbols, an optimal (12,5) codeword.
For example, when using a puncturing pattern in which the puncturing positions have an interval of 1, the puncturer 120 punctures 4 consecutive coded symbols from the stream of 16 coded symbols comprising a first order Reed-Muller codeword, beginning at selected one of 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th coded symbols.
When the 1st coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th coded symbols. When the 3rd coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th coded symbols. When the 5th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th coded symbols. When the 7th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th coded symbols. When the 9th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th coded symbols. Finally, when the 11th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 16 coded symbols comprising. the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 120 punctures 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th coded symbols.
FIG. 2 illustrates a detailed structure of the Reed-Muller encoder 110 shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 2, the Reed-Muller encoder 110 includes an orthogonal codeword generator comprised of a Walsh code generator 210 and multipliers 230- 260; a All l 's code generator 200 and a multiplier 220; and an adder 270. The orthogonal codeword generator generates orthogonal codewords each comprised of 16 coded symbols by multiplying 4 bits out of the 5 -bit input information bit stream by associated base orthogonal codes Wl, W2, W4 and W8. The orthogonal codeword generator is comprised of the Walsh code generator 210 for generating a Walsh code, a typical orthogonal code, and the multipliers 230-260. The code generator 200 generates the All l's code and the All l's code is multiplied by the remaining one bit of the input information bit stream at the multiplier 200. The adder 270 outputs a phase inverted codeword of the orthogonal codewords, a first order Reed Muller codeword by exclusively ORing (XORing) the codewords output from the multiplier 220 and the orthogonal codewords.
The 5 input information bits aO, al, a2, a3 and a4 are provided to the multipliers 220, 230, 240, 250 and 260, respectively. The code generator 200 generates an all l's code and the Walsh code generator 210 simultaneously generates length=16 Walsh codes Wl, W2, W4 and W8. The all l 's code and the Walsh codes Wl, W2, W4 and W8 are also provided to the associated multipliers 220, 230, 240, 250 and 260, respectively. That is, the all l's code is applied to the multiplier 220, the Walsh code Wl to the multiplier 230, the Walsh code W2 to the multiplier 240, the Walsh code W4 to the multiplier 250, and the Walsh code W8 to the multiplier 260. Here, the code generator 200 generates the all l 's code in order to create a bi- orthogonal code by converting an orthogonal code to a phase-inverted orthogonal code. Other codes can also be used, if they can be used in creating a bi-orthogonal code by converting the orthogonal code to a phase-inverted orthogonal code.
The multiplier 220 multiplies the input information bit aO by the all l 's code in a symbol unit. The multiplier 230 multiplies the input information bit al by the Walsh code Wl in a symbol unit. The multiplier 240 multiplies the input information bit a2 by the Walsh code W2 in a symbol unit. The multiplier 250 multiplies the input information bit a3 by the Walsh code W4 in a symbol unit. The multiplier 260 multiplies the input information bit a4 by the Walsh code W8 in a symbol unit.
The 5 codewords each comprised of 16 coded symbols, including one codeword being the multiplication result of the remaining one bit of the input information bit stream by l 's signal and four orthogonal codewords output from the mulptiplers 220 and 260, are provided to the adder 270. The adder 270 XORs the 5 codewords each comprised of 16 coded symbols output from the multipliers 220- 260 in a symbol unit, and outputs one length=16 codeword, i.e., a first order Reed-
Muller codeword.
FIG. 3 illustrates a structure of a decoding apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 3, a length=12 coded symbol stream received from the transmitter is provided to a zero inserter 310 in a (12,5) decoder 300. The zero inserter 310 receiving the length=12 coded symbol stream inserts zero (0) bits in the puncturing positions used by the puncturer 120 in the (12,5) encoder 100 of the transmitter, and provides the zero-inserted symbol stream to an inverse fast Hadamard transform part 320. For example, if the puncturer 120 in the (12,5) encoder 100 has punctured the 0th, 3rd, 6th and 9th coded symbols, the zero inserter 310 in the (12,5) decoder 300 will insert the zero bits in the above 4 puncturing positions of the lengtlτ=12 coded symbol stream, and then output a length=16 coded symbol stream. Here, the zero inserter 310 must know the positions where the zero bits are to be inserted, i.e., the puncturing positions used by the puncturer 120. The zero inserter 310 is provided with the puncturing position information from the transmitter in a given procedure. The inverse Hadamard transform part 320 compares the length=16 coded symbol stream output from the zero inserter 310 with first order Reed-Muller codeword to calculate reliabilities therebetween, and outputs the calculated reliabilities for the first order Reed-Muller codewords and the input information bits for the first order Reed-Muller codewords. Here, all of first order Reed-Muller codewords mean 32 codewords including codewords of the length=T6 Walsh code and 16 codewords caculated by inverting the codewords of the length=T6 Walsh code. Therefore, 32 reliabilities are calculated. The reliabilities and the input information bits for the first order Reed- Muller codewords make pairs, the number of which is equal to the number of the first order Reed-Muller codewords. The pairs of the reliabilities and the input information bits, output from the inverse Hadamard transform part 320 are provided to a comparator 330. The comparator 330 selects the highest reliability among the provided reliabilities and then outputs the input information bits associated with the selected reliability as decoded bits.
The first embodiment provides 15 other puncturing patterns in addition to the above puncturing pattern {0, 3, 6, 9} for the optimal puncturing positions. When the puncturing pattern is changed, the inserting positions of the zero inserter 310 in the decoder 300 of FIG. 3 are also changed. For example, if the puncturer 120 in the (12,5) encoder 100 punctures consecutive 4 coded symbols beginning at a selected coded symbol out of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th coded symbols among the 16 coded symbols and outputs an optimal codeword (12,5), the zero inserter 310 in the
(12,5) decoder decoding a 12-bit coded symbols stream and outputting a 5-bit coded stream, performs a zero insertion operation as follows. That is, the zero inserter 310 outputs a 16-bit coded symbol stream by inserting zero(0) bits at the positions of the 12-bit coded symbol stream corresponding to positions of 4 consecutive coded symbols beginning at a selected coded symbol out of the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th coded symbols among the 16 coded symbols. Further, the puncturing positions are so determined as to maximize performance of the encoder, and have a simple regularity, so that the encoder in the transmitter and the decoder in the receiver can have low hardware complexity.
Second Embodiment
The second embodiment of the present invention provides a scheme for creating a codeword by using a (24,6) linear code as an optimal error correcting code for the CDMA mobile communication system and then decoding the created (24,6) codeword. For example, the second embodiment uses, as an error correcting code, a (24,6) first order Reed-Muller code obtained by puncturing 8 symbols from 32 coded symbols comprising a first order Reed-Muller codeword with a length 32. Although there are innumberable ways to create the (24,6) first order Reed-Muller code, it is possible not only to minimize hardware complexity, but also to create an optimal codeword by utilizing the method of creating a first order Reed-Muller code and then puncturing the created first order Reed-Muller code as described herein below in the second embodiment of the present invention. A drastic reduction in a length of the first order Reed-Muller code contributes to minimization of the hardware complexity. In addition, it is not only possible to further minimize the hardware complexity but also to create a code optimized for error correcting performance, by puncturing the first order Reed-Muller codeword. As stated above, the embodiment of the present invention uses the first order Reed-Muller code as an error correcting code, and herein, a bi-orthogonal codeword is used for the first order Reed-Muller code.
As stated above, the (24,6) codeword is created by puncturing 8 symbols from 32 coded symbols (bi-orthogonal code symbols) comprising a first order Reed- Muller codeword with a length 32. A minimum distance dmin of the codeword depends upon the puncturing positions where the 8 symbols are punctured from the 32 bi-orthogonal code symbols. As previously mentioned, the minimum distance of a codeword refers to the smallest value among the Hamming distance values of the codeword, and an increase in the minimum distance improves error correcting performance of a linear error correcting code. Therefore, it is important to determine proper puncturing positions in order to create a (24,6) bi-orthogonal codeword having excellent error correcting performance in the first order Reed-Muller codeword with a length 32. Puncturing patterns for determining the 8 puncturing positions needed to create an optimal (24,6) codeword can be experimentally calculated. There are 3 typical puncturing patterns: {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21 }, {6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 25} , and { 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 29}. A first order Reed-Muller codeword is comprised of 32 coded symbols of 0th to 31st coded symbols. For example, the puncturing pattern {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21 } is a puncturing pattern for puncturing, from the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, a 2nd coded symbol, puncturing 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 symbols beginning at the 2nd coded symbol, and also puncturing a coded symbol at an interval of 1 symbol beginning at the last symbol out of the 6 punctured coded symbols. The puncturing pattern {6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 25} is a puncturing pattern for puncturing, from the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, a 6th coded symbol, puncturing 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 symbols beginning at the 6th coded symbol, and also puncturing a coded symbol at an interval of 1 symbol beginning at the last symbol out of the 6 punctured coded symbols. The puncturing pattern { 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 29} is a puncturing pattern for puncturing, from the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, a 10th coded symbol, puncturing 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 symbols beginning at the 10th coded symbol, and also puncturing a coded symbol at an interval of 1 symbol beginning at the last symbol out of the 6 punctured coded symbols. In sum, the puncturing patterns are used to select one of 2nd, 6lh and 10th coded symbols among the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, and then puncture the selected coded symbol, 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 symbols beginning at the selected coded symbol, and a coded symbol at an interval of 1 symbol beginning at the last symbol among the 6 punctured coded symbols. If a transmitter of the mobile communication system uses the puncturing patterns having the regularities during coding, a receiver associated with the transmitter should also use the puncturing patterns having the same regularities during decoding by a previous agreement. This agreement is generally prescribed by a communication protocol. However, it is also possible for the transmitter to inform the receiver of the puncturing positions.
FIG. 4 illustrates a structure of a coding apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, a coding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention realizes a (24,6) encoder 1100 for outputting 24 coded symbols by receiving a 6-bit information bit stream. The (24,6) encoder 1100 includes a (32,6) bi-orthogonal encoder 1110 and a puncturer 1120. The bi-orthogonal encoder (Reed-Muller encoder) 1110 in the (24,6) coding apparatus 1100 encodes 6-bit input information bit stream of aO, al, a2, a3, a4 and a5 into a first order Reed-Muller codeword (a stream of coded symbols) of length 32. The puncturer 1120- receives the stream of the coded symbols of length 32, output from the bi-orthogonal encoder 1110, and punctures 8 coded symbols at the puncturing positions corresponding to a predetermined puncturing pattern, from the stream of the coded symbols of length 32. As a result, the puncturer 1120 outputs a stream of 24 coded symbols, an optimal (24,6) codeword.
For example, the puncturer 1120 selects one of 2nd, 6th and 10th coded symbols among the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed- Muller codeword, and then punctures the selected coded symbol, 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 symbols beginning at the selected coded symbol, and a coded symbol at an interval of 1 symbol beginning at the last symbol among the 6 punctured coded symbols. When the 2nd coded symbol is selected among the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 1120 punctures 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 20th and 21st coded symbols. When the 6th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 1120 punctures 6th, 9th, 12th, 15*, 18*, 21st, 24th and 25th coded symbols. When the 10th coded symbol is selected from the stream of the 32 coded symbols comprising the first order Reed-Muller codeword, the puncturer 1120 punctures 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd, 25th, 28th and 29th coded symbols.
FIG. 5 illustrates a detailed structure of the Reed-Muller encoder 1110 shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 5, the Reed-Muller encoder 1110 includes an orthogonal codeword generator comprised of a Orthogonal code generator 1210 and multipliers 1220-1270; a All l's code generator 1200; and an adder 1280. The orthogonal codeword generator generates orthogonal codewords each comprised of 32 coded symbols by multiplying 5 bits out of the 6-bit input information bit stream by associated base orthogonal codes , a typical orthogonal code, Walsh code Wl, W2, W4, W8 and W16, respectively. The orthogonal codeword generator is comprised of the Walsh code generator 1210 for generating a Walsh code, a typical orthogonal code, and the multipliers 1230-1270. The code generator 1200 generates a All l's code and the All l's code is multiplied by the remaining one bit of the input information bit stream at the multiplier 1220. The adder 1280 outputs a phase-inverted codeword of the orthogonal codewords, a first order Reed Muller codeword by exclusively ORing (XORing) the codewords output from the multiplier 1220 and the orthogonal codewords.
The 6 input information bits aO, al, a2, a3 a4 and a5 are provided to the multipliers 1220, 1230, 1240, 1250 1260 and 1270, respectively. The code generator 1200 generates an all l's code and the Walsh code generator 1210 simultaneously generates lengm=32 Walsh codes Wl, W2, W4, W8 and W16. The all l 's code and the Walsh codes Wl, W2, W4, W8 and W16 are also provided to the associated multipliers 1220, 1230, 1240, 1250, 1260 and 1270, respectively. That is, the all l's code is applied to the multiplier 1220, the Walsh code Wl to the multiplier 1230, the Walsh code W2 to the multiplier 1240, the Walsh code W4 to the multiplier 1250, the Walsh code W8 to the multiplier 1260, and the Walsh code W16 to the multiplier 1270. Here, the code generator 1200 generates the all l 's code in order to create a bi-orthogonal code by converting an orthogonal code to a phase-inverted orthogonal code. Other codes can also be used, if they can be used to create a bi-orthogonal code by converting the orthogonal code to a phase-inverted orthogonal code.
The multiplier 1220 multiplies the input information bit aO by the all l's code in a symbol unit. The multiplier 1230 multiplies the input information bit al by the Walsh code Wl in a symbol unit. The multiplier 1240 multiplies the input information bit a2 by the Walsh code W2 in a symbol unit. The multiplier 1250 multiplies the input information bit a3 by the Walsh code W4 in a symbol unit. The multiplier 1260 multiplies the input information bit a4 by the Walsh code W8 in a symbol unit. The multiplier 1270 multiplies the input information bit a5 by the Walsh code W16 in a symbol unit.
The 6 codewords each comprised of 32 coded symbols, including one codeword being the multiplication result of the remaining one bit of the input information bit stream by l's signal and five orthogonal codewords output from the multipliers 1220-1270, are provided to the adder 1280. The adder 1280 XORs the 6 codewords output from the multipliers 1220-1270 in a symbol unit, and outputs one length=32 codeword, i.e., a first order Reed-Muller codeword.
FIG. 6 illustrates a structure of a decoding apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 6, a length=24 coded symbol stream received from the transmitter is provided to a zero inserter 1310 in a
(24,6) decoder 1300. The zero inserter 1310 receiving the length=24 coded symbol stream inserts zero (0) bits in the puncturing positions used by the puncturer 1120 in the (24,6) encoder 1100 of the transmitter, and provides the zero-inserted symbol stream to an inverse fast Hadamard transform part 1320. For example, if the puncturer 1120 in the (24,6) encoder 1100 has punctured the 2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, 20th, 21st coded symbols, the zero inserter 1310 in the (24,6) decoder 1300 will insert the zero bits in the above 8 puncturing positions of the length=24 coded symbol stream, and then output a length=32 coded symbol stream. Here, the zero inserter 1310 must know the positions where the zero bits are to be inserted, i.e., the puncturing positions used by the puncturer 1120. The zero inserter 1310 is provided with the puncturing position information from the transmitter in a given procedure. The inverse Hadamard transform part 1320 compares the length=32 coded symbol stream output from the zero inserter 1310 with first order Reed-Muller codeword to calculate reliabilities therebetween, and outputs the calculated reliabilities for the first order Reed-Muller codewords and the input information bits for the first order Reed-Muller codewords. Here, all of first order Reed-Muller codewords means 64 codewords including codewords of length=32 Walsh code and 32 codewords calculated by inverting the length=32 Walsh codewords. Therefore, 64 reliabilities are calculated. The reliabilities and the input information bits for the first order Reed-Muller codewords make pairs, the number of which is equal to the number of the first order Reed-Muller codewords. The pairs of the reliabilities and the input information bits, output from the inverse Hadamard transform part 1320, are provided to a comparator 1330. The comparator 1330 selects the highest reliability among the provided reliabilities and then outputs the input information bits associated with the selected reliability as decoded bits.
The second embodiment provides 2 other puncturing patterns in addition to the above puncturing pattern {2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 21} for the optimal puncturing positions. When the puncturing pattern is changed, the inserting positions of the zero inserter 1310 in the decoder 1300 of FIG. 6 are also changed. For example, if the puncturer 1120 in the (24,6) encoder 1100 outputs an optimal (24,6) codeword by selecting a coded symbol position out of 2nd , the 6th and 10th coded symbol position among 32 coded symbols stream and puncturing the selected coded symbol, 6 coded symbol at intervals of 3 beginning at the selected coded symbol and the coded symbol at an interval of 1 beginning at the last symbol out of the 6 coded symbol, the zero inserter 1310 in the (24,6) decoder decoding a 24-bit coded symbol stream and outputting a 6-bit coded stream, performs a zero insertion operation as follows. That is, the zero inserter 310 selects a coded symbol position out of 2nd , 6th and 10th coded symbol position among 32 coded symbols stream comprising the first Reed- Muller codeword and outputs a 32-bit coded symbol stream by inserting zero(0) bits at the positions of the 24-bit coded symbol stream corresponding to the selected coded symbol, 6 coded symbols at intervals of 3 beginning at the selected coded symbol and the coded symbol at the interval of 1 beginning at the last symbol of the 6 coded symbols. Further, the puncturing positions are so determined as to maximize performance of the encoder, and have a simple regularity, so that the encoder in the transmitter and the decoder in the receiver can have low hardware complexity.
As described above, the CDMA mobile communication system according to the present invention can obtain an optimal minimum distance by optimally coding/decoding the error correcting codes, thus making it possible to improve error correcting performance. In addition, it is possible to simplify the hardware structure for coding/decoding by determining the puncturing positions with regularity, thus contributing to minimization of the hardware complexity.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to a certain preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
