Description

The method for designing of the ofdm system of quasi-orthogonal space time frequency block encoding

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of method for designing of OFDM (OFDM) system of four antenna quasi-orthogonal space-time frequency block encodings newly, make in this way, can exchange High Data Rate for, improve the performance of ofdm system with less diversity loss.Coding techniques field when belonging to radio communication hollow.

Background technology

Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) system can improve capability of communication system exponentially under the situation that does not increase bandwidth, caused people's extensive concern.The design studies of empty time-code is one of its key technology.Alamouti has proposed a kind of multiple orthogonal space time packet of two antennas that can realize maximum rate and maximum diversity.Subsequently, people such as Tarokh Alamouti about the basis of transmit diversity research work on this transmission diversity technique in conjunction with orthogonal coding, propose the space-time block code technology (Space-Time Block Coding, STC).And then, people such as Giannakis proposed space-time frequency coding (Space-Time-Frequency Coding, STFC).Space-time frequency code is the 3-dimensional encoding on spatial domain, time-domain, the frequency domain, can overcome the influence of channel delay and Doppler frequency shift preferably, makes full use of the error rate in the three-dimensional diversity reduction communication.

Though (frequently) block code architecture is simple when empty, code efficiency is generally all lower.Current encoder efficient be 1 to be limited to and to only limit to number of transmit antennas be 2 situation, all the other are only efficient to be 1/2,3/4 three, four antenna Space-Time Block Codings, and code check is 7/11 and 3/5 five and six antenna Space-Time Block Codings.On the other hand, people such as Jafarkhani has proposed the accurate orthogonal design of Space-Time Block Coding.Quasi-orthogonal space time-code (Non-orthogonal Space-TimeCoding, NOSTC) emission matrix is to construct on the basis of orthogonal space time packet emission matrix, has certain orthogonality between its each row, but be not that any two row are all mutually orthogonal, thereby quasi-orthogonal space time block code can not obtain maximum diversity gain as orthogonal space time packet.But the transmission rate of quasi-orthogonal space time block code is than the transmission rate height of orthogonal space time packet, and when little signal to noise ratio, the performance of quasi-orthogonal space time block code is better than orthogonal space time packet.

The method for designing of the quasi-orthogonal space time block code that people such as Jafarkhani propose (H.Jafarkhani.Aquasi-orthogonal space-time block code[J] .IEEE Trans.on Commun., 2001,49 (1): 1-4) be with four 2 * 2 Alamouti Space-Time Block Coding submatrix or get conjugation or get and negatively carry out permutation and combination then, thereby construct one 4 * 4 four antenna quasi-orthogonal Space-Time Block Coding matrixes.

As establish that armed data are x in four time slots of user ₁, x ₂, x ₃, x ₄, $G_{\mathrm{ij}}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{x}_i& x_j\\ -x_j^{*}& x_i^{*}\end{array}\right),$ Can obtain following quasi-orthogonal space time block code:

$G=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{G}_{12}& G_{34}\\ -G_{34}^{*}& G_{12}^{*}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}{x}_1& x_2& x_3& x_4\\ -x_2^{*}& x_1^{*}& -x_4^{*}& x_3^{*}\\ -x_3^{*}& -x_4^{*}& x_1^{*}& x_2^{*}\\ x_4& -x_3& -x_2& x_1\end{array}\right),$ Wherein symbol ( _*) ^*The expression complex conjugate.

This accurate quadrature order of diversity that empty time-code obtained that divides into groups is 2N _r, do not reach maximum diversity degree 4N _r, N wherein _rBe the reception antenna number, but its code efficiency R=1, than number of transmit antennas be 4, the divide into groups code efficiency (being R=3/4 to the maximum) of empty time-code of the quadrature that obtains complete diversity gain is big.

In order more effectively to utilize valuable bandwidth resources, people such as Murat Uysal (Murat Uysal andCostas N.Georghiades.Non-orthogonal space-time block codes for 3Tx antennas[J] .Electronics Letters, 2002,38 (25): 1689-1691) design that code check equals even greater than the nonopiate empty time-code of 1 triantennary.For example code check is 3/2,4/3 and 1 has respectively

$\left(\begin{array}{ccc}{x}_1& x_3& -x_2\\ x_2& -x_1^{*}& -x_3\end{array}\right),$ $\left(\begin{array}{ccc}{x}_1& x_4& x_3^{*}\\ x_2& x_3^{*}& x_4^{*}\\ x_3& -x_2^{*}& -x_1^{*}\end{array}\right)$ With $\left(\begin{array}{ccc}{x}_1& x_2& x_3\\ x_2^{*}& -x_1^{*}& x_1\\ -x_3^{*}& -x_3^{*}& x_2^{*}\end{array}\right)$ Deng.Preceding two kinds of nonopiate empty time-code order of diversities are 2N _r, a kind of order of diversity in back is N _rMore than coding has obtained higher transmission rate and bandwidth efficiency, but is cost to sacrifice the maximum diversity degree all.

4, the quasi-orthogonal space time block code matrix that uses in the set-up procedure 2 utilizes Computer Simulation can obtain the ofdm system bit error rate performance of different quasi-orthogonal space time frequency codings, frequency block code in the time of therefrom can finding the quasi-orthogonal space of bit error rate performance optimum.

$G2=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{G}_{12}& G_{34}\\ {-G}_{34}& G_{12}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}{x}_1& x_2& x_3& x_4\\ -x_2^{*}& x_1^{*}& -x_4^{*}& x_3^{*}\\ -x_3& -x_4& x_1& x_2\\ x_4^{*}& -x_3^{*}& -x_2^{*}& x_1^{*}\end{array}\right),$

$\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="3"\; label="G"\; filenames="C20051002441600121.png,C20051002441600122.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">G</figure-callout>}3=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{G}_{12}& G_{34}\\ G_{34}& {-G}_{12}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}{x}_1& x_2& x_3& x_4\\ -x_2^{*}& x_1^{*}& -x_4^{*}& x_3^{*}\\ x_3& x_4& -x_1& -x_2\\ -x_4^{*}& x_3^{*}& x_2^{*}& -x_1^{*}\end{array}\right)$ With

$G4=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{G}_{12}& G_{34}\\ G_{34}^{*}& -G_{12}^{*}\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}{x}_1& x_2& x_3& x_4\\ -x_2^{*}& x_1^{*}& -x_4^{*}& x_3^{*}\\ x_3^{*}& x_4^{*}& -x_1^{*}& -x_2^{*}\\ -x_4& x_3& x_2& -x_1\end{array}\right)$ Deng, their number of transmit antennas be 4,

Diversity gain is 2N _r, code efficiency R=1.Frequency block code during quasi-orthogonal space by all quasi-orthogonal space time-code composite constructions of Computer Simulation, can therefrom search out the superior of the error rate, as the MIMO-OFDM system coding, lose and acquisition higher data transmission rate and bandwidth availability ratio with minimum diversity gain and bit error rate performance.

Therefore the method for designing that adopts the present invention to propose can be designed the ofdm system of four antenna quasi-orthogonal space-time frequency block encodings, and its advantage has three: (1) decoding complexity and quasi-orthogonal space time block code are similar; (2) overcome the shortcoming of orthogonal space time packet, promptly adopted multiple constellation modulation, when number of transmit antennas greater than two the time, utilize the orthogonal space time packet code efficiency of the acquisition full diversity gain that multiple orthogonal design obtains on the low side.The code efficiency of frequency block code can reach 1 during four antenna quasi-orthogonal spaces that the present invention proposes; (3) make full use of spatial domain, time domain, frequency domain 3-dimensional encoding, (standard) orthogonal space time packet increases frequency diversity gain under the situation of not sacrificing bandwidth, has improved bit error rate performance greatly.

The performance of the quasi-orthogonal space time block code that method of the present invention (frequently) block code and Jafarkhani with based on orthogonal design empty the time propose is compared as follows:

1, decoding complexity

Suppose all characters to equiprobability emission, and receiving terminal has complete channel condition information, (frequently) block code can adopt the maximum likelihood decision algorithm to decipher during orthogonal space:

$\hat{x}=\arg \underset{\hat{x}\&Element;A_s}{\min }\underset{m=1}{\overset{N_r}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{\left|\right|y_m-H_m\hat{x}\left|\right|}^2,\hat{x}$ Be the judgement character vector

Each row of empty time-code emission matrix are not completely orthogonal because accurate quadrature divides into groups, thereby (frequently) block code each signal is detected separately can not be when receiving terminal is deciphered the time as orthogonal space, and need simultaneously two signals to be detected, so its decoding algorithm during than orthogonal space (frequently) block code complicated slightly, but still very simple.Frequency block code adds frequency diversity and forms during the quasi-orthogonal space of the present invention design on the basis of the encoder matrix G that people such as Jafarkhani propose, deciphers same available maximum likelihood decision, so both have identical decoding complexity.

2, code efficiency

When number of transmit antennas greater than two the time, the code efficiency that adopt multiple constellation modulation, (frequently) block code can reach when utilizing acquisition full diversity gain that multiple orthogonal design obtains empty is restricted.The maximum rate that the square encoder matrix of an insertion type orthogonal design can reach is

Wherein

Refer to be not less than the smallest positive integral of x.For example, for the orthogonal space time packet of four antennas, maximum rate is 3/4.

The quasi-orthogonal space time block code that people such as Jafarkhani propose utilizes four transmitting antennas to use a subcarrier to transmit four data symbols in four time slots, so code efficiency reaches 1.

The frequency block code during quasi-orthogonal space of the present invention design, utilize four transmitting antennas in two time slots, to use two subcarriers to transmit four data symbols, so the quasi-orthogonal space time block code that people such as code efficiency and Jafarkhani proposes is similar, also can reach 1, be better than four antenna orthogonal Space-Time Block Codings.

3, bit error rate performance

Suppose receiving terminal known channel state information, and state of signal-to-noise is relatively good, the calculating of the orthogonal space time packet error rate can be represented error probability by code word:

$P(x\&RightArrow;\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x})\&le;{\left(\underset{i=1}{\overset{r}{\mathrm{\&Pi;}}}{\mathrm{\&lambda;}}_i\right)}^{N_r}{(E_s/4N_0)}^{-r{N}_r}$

Wherein x is the wrong code word that obtains from x, E _sBe the average energy of each signaling point in the planisphere, N ₀Be the noise one-sided power spectrum density of each reception antenna, r is the order of error matrix A, i.e. rank (A)=r; λ _i, i=1 ..., r is the nonzero eigenvalue of A.As seen the error rate of orthogonal space time packet depends primarily on order of diversity d=rN _r, and d _Max=N _tN _r, order of diversity is big more, and bit error rate performance is good more.And the order of diversity of space-time frequency code can reach d _Max=N _tN _r(L+1), wherein L is a channel exponent number.

Quasi-orthogonal space time block code is not because its nonorthogonality reaches the maximum diversity degree, and bit error rate performance is lost.Its calculating can obtain by finding the solution branch aggregation λ, and λ is defined as:

$\mathrm{\&lambda;}=\underset{\{x\&NotEqual;\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x}\&Element;A_s\}}{\min }\left|\det \right[{(x-\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x})}^H(x-\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x}){\left]\right|}^{1/2N_t}$

General λ is big more, and the expression code word is good more, and error performance is good more.

Similarly, the branch aggregation of frequency block code is during quasi-orthogonal space

$\mathrm{\&lambda;}=\underset{\{x\&NotEqual;\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x}\&Element;A_s\}}{\min }\left|\det \right[{(x-\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x})}^H(x-\stackrel{\&OverBar;}{x}){\left]\right|}^{1/2N_t(L+1)}$

So frequency block code is compared with the quasi-orthogonal space time block code that Jafarkhani proposes during the quasi-orthogonal space of employing the present invention design, bit error rate performance improves greatly.

Frequency block code is compared with the quasi-orthogonal space time-code that people such as orthogonal space time-code and Jafarkhani propose when proving the quasi-orthogonal space that the present invention designs, diversity gain and bit error rate performance obviously improve, and below provide the error rate simulation result of the quadrature of different code checks/accurate quadrature STC/STFC-OFDM system.

As shown in Figure 1, code efficiency or system transmissions speed are big more, and its bit error rate performance loss is big more.The order of diversity of four kinds of quasi-orthogonal space time-codes is 2, so accurate quadrature STC/STFC-OFDM has sacrificed the raising that 1 or 2 order of diversity exchanges bandwidth availability ratio for.By computer repeatedly emulation can find optimal codes, between order of diversity, code efficiency and the error rate, obtain compromisely, it is big promptly to obtain code efficiency, bandwidth availability ratio height, the accurate quadrature STC/STFC-OFDM that order of diversity and bit error rate performance loss simultaneously is minimum again.

Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 have compared the systematic function of traditional ofdm system, quadrature STC-OFDM and the accurate quadrature STC-OFDM and the accurate quadrature STFC-OFDM of single antenna respectively, and code check is 1 among Fig. 2, and code check is 3/4 among Fig. 3.Simulation result shows that accurate quadrature STC-OFDM bit error rate performance is better than quadrature STC-OFDM when signal to noise ratio during less than 23dB (code check is 1) or 25dB (code check is 3/4), and when signal to noise ratio was big, quadrature STC-OFDM bit error rate performance was better.And accurate quadrature STFC-OFDM signal to noise ratio height no matter, its performance is all relatively good.Because the slope of ber curve has been represented the order of diversity size, along with signal to noise ratio increases, the encoding scheme that diversity gain is big benefits bigger.Space-time frequency coding has made full use of the diversity that spatial domain, time domain and frequency domain provide, and has remedied the diversity loss of being introduced by accurate orthogonal design.Therefore bit error rate performance the best of accurate quadrature STFC-OFDM among Fig. 2, and not have code check be 1 four antenna orthogonal STFC-OFDM.The situation of Fig. 3 is similar.In addition, we find medium and preferably under the situation in signal to noise ratio, and the order of diversity maximum of quadrature STFC-OFDM, bit error rate performance are best, still under the lower situation of signal to noise ratio (＜7dB) than the poor performance of accurate quadrature STFC-OFDM.Notice that quadrature STFC-OFDM has reached maximum diversity gain, but its transmission rate (3/4,1/2 even littler) on the low side.Therefore, accurate quadrature STFC-OFDM has exchanged bigger transmission rate (can reach 1) for the performance loss of smaller error rate, more is applicable to the actual wireless communication service that requires high speed data transfer, as image, video and local area network applications.

In sum, the method for designing of frequency block code during the present invention proposes a kind of new four antenna quasi-orthogonal spaces, can design that decoding complexity is low, code efficiency is high and frequency block code during the little quasi-orthogonal space of error rate loss, thereby improved the MIMO-OFDM systematic function greatly, be suitable for the practical application of broadband wireless communications that data transmission rate is had relatively high expectations.
