Description

Turbo coding/decoding method and Turbo decoder
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to code signal is carried out method and the Turbo decoder of Turbo decoding.More especially, the present invention relates to the code signal with identical initial condition and end-state is carried out method and the Turbo decoder of Turbo decoding.
Background technology
Up to the present, wireless communication system has obtained swift and violent development.Original second generation mobile communication system, be global mobile communication (GSM) system constantly to technology evolution such as GPRS (GPRS), enhanced data rates for gsm evolution (EDGE), improved significantly the data transmission capabilities of system.Have more 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), the also one after another deployment in the scope of many countries and regions, the whole world such as the technology such as Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA), CDMA2000 of high transfer rate, begin to put it into commercial operation.In the cellular telecommunication art development, some other wireless access technology, for example WLAN (wireless local area network) (WLAN) and micro-wave access to global intercommunication (WiMAX) technology have also had fast development.In addition, strengthening projects such as (3GPP LTE+) towards the IEEE 802.16m technology of the 4th Generation Mobile Communication System and third generation partner program evolution technology (3GPP LTE), third generation partner program evolution technology has also begun to start and has entered development.
The Turbo decoder is an important devices of the physical layer of above-mentioned each communication system.In data communication service, the Turbo coding/decoding is most important channel coding/decoding method.The principle of Turbo encoder is relative with implementation method fixing, and the performance of Turbo decoder then can directly affect the performance of receiver.Turbo code is proposed 1993 by people such as C.Berrou the earliest.Wherein, realize the coding of large constraint length having the characteristic near random coded by the pseudo random interleaving of component code, and by adopting iterative decoding, can obtain the medium codec complexity, the error rate remains on the 1e-5 order of magnitude, thereby has approached shannon limit.Show through various researchs and simulation result, Turbo code is not only being resisted superior performance aspect the additive Gaussian noise, and have very strong anti-fading, an antijamming capability, its error-correcting performance is near shannon limit, this is so that Turbo code has in the communication system of reality very widely uses, wherein 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), such as International Mobile Telecommunication 2000 (IMT-2000) and IEEE 802.16e system all with Turbo code as one of standard channel of its transmitting high speed data.
All the time, in the process of Turbo coding, all initial condition and the end-state with encoder is preset as a certain known value, such as initial condition or end-state all are made as 0 state, is beneficial to the decoding of Turbo.A shortcoming of this way is must add the tail bit at the afterbody of information bit, with the control end-state.The adding of tail bit has reduced the spectrum efficiency of system.About the Turbo coding/decoding detailed process can (Wiley-IEEE Press publishes in September, 2002 referring to " the Turbo Coding; Turbo Equalisation and Space-TimeCoding for Transmission over Fading Channels " that for example shown by Lajos Ha and B.L.Yeap, ISBN number: 978-0-470-84726-8), just no longer described in detail at this.
Add the tail bit for fear of the afterbody at information bit, in IEEE 802.16e standard, adopted the Turbo decoding scheme of duobinary system circular recursion system convolution (double-binary circular recursivesystematic convolutional, DBCRSC) coding.In this scheme, the initial condition of code signal and end-state equate, but are not pre-set value.Therefore, receiver needs at first to determine initial condition and end-state in the process of computing of decoding.For example, in the Turbo decoder and Turbo coding/decoding method that in U.S. Patent Application Publication US2008/0273631A1, proposes, in the each time interative computation process of carrying out the Turbo decoding, respectively some part of total code block (comprising payload piece and filling block) of the DBCRSC code signal that receives is carried out forward recursive and backward recursive, thereby calculate the forward state metric (FSM) of estimation and the backward state measurement (BSM) of estimating, then utilize respectively estimated FSM and BSM that the remainder of total code block is carried out forward recursive and backward recursive.That is to say, in the each time interative computation of Turbo decoding, all need in advance the part of receive data to be processed, calculate initial condition tolerance and the end-state tolerance of forward recursive and backward recursive.Yet such method is neither optimum solution has been brought again extra operand.
Therefore, in the each time interative computation process of Turbo decoding, how to utilize better initial condition and the end-state of code signal to equate this characteristic, determine each time initial condition tolerance and the end-state tolerance of interative computation with less operand, thereby be beneficial to the execution of Turbo decoding, remain one of problem demanding prompt solution.

Embodiment
In connection with accompanying drawing example embodiment of the present invention is described hereinafter.For clarity and conciseness, all features of actual execution mode are not described in specification.Yet, should understand, in the process of any this practical embodiments of exploitation, must make a lot of decisions specific to execution mode, in order to realize developer's objectives, for example, meet those restrictive conditions with system and traffic aided, and these restrictive conditions may change to some extent along with the difference of execution mode.In addition, might be very complicated and time-consuming although will also be appreciated that development, concerning the those skilled in the art that have benefited from present disclosure, this development only is routine task.
At this, what also need to illustrate a bit is, for fear of having blured the present invention because of unnecessary details, only show in the accompanying drawings with according to the closely-related device structure of the solution of the present invention and/or treatment step, and omitted other details little with relation of the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows and according to the embodiment of the invention code signal with identical initial condition and end-state (for example, the signal of DBCRSC coding) is carried out the indicative flowchart of the method 100 of Turbo decoding.
As shown in Figure 1, Turbo coding/decoding method 100 is initialized as 1 by the iterations i with the Turbo decoding in step S110 begins, and whether for the first time the interative computation of the Turbo decoding that then judgement will be carried out in step S120 interative computation.
If in step S120, determine to carry out the interative computation first time of Turbo decoding, then the processing of method 100 proceeds to step S130, with forward direction initial condition tolerance (namely therein, initial FSM) and backward initial condition tolerance (that is, initial BSM) be set to respectively predetermined state and measure.
In an example of Turbo coding/decoding method 100, described initial FSM comprises probability or the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of each possibility initial condition of described code signal, and described initial BSM comprises probability or the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of each possibility end-state of described code signal; And in the first time of Turbo decoding interative computation, described initial FSM and initial BSM are set up respectively as follows: probability or the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of each possibility initial condition of described code signal are set up equal, each of described code signal may end-state probability or logarithm probability likelihood ratio be set to equate, and all equal a certain predetermined value (for example 0).Wherein, described probability and logarithm probability likelihood ratio are one to one, and can mutually calculate.Yet, should be understood that principle of the present invention is not limited only to this.For example, in the first time of Turbo decoding interative computation, each that can code signal may initial condition and each may end-state probability or other arbitrary values that logarithm probability likelihood ratio is set to non-zero.
Next, as shown in Figure 1, in step S140, carry out forward recursive computing and backward recursive computing from forward direction initial condition tolerance and backward initial condition tolerance respectively, obtain thus the forward direction end-state tolerance of interative computation last time (namely, final FSM) and backward end-state tolerance (that is, finally BSM).At this, process in the process of forward recursive computing and backward recursive computing and the existing Turbo decoding is identical, for example, can be referring to " Turbo Coding; Turbo Equalisation and Space-Time Coding for Transmission over FadingChannels " of above mentioning etc., therefore, for specification for purpose of brevity, just no longer the detailed process of forward recursive computing and backward recursive computing has been described in detail at this.
Then, in step S150, will in step S140, obtain when the forward direction end-state tolerance of interative computation last time and after store to end-state tolerance so that in the next iteration computing.
Next, the handling process of method 100 proceeds to step S160, judges whether to satisfy predetermined stopping criterion for iteration.At this, described predetermined stopping criterion for iteration can be such as having reached predetermined iterations etc.Yet principle of the present invention is not limited only to this, and those skilled in the art can set stopping criterion for iteration fully according to actual needs.For example, under some specific occasion, also stopping criterion for iteration can be set as follows: each time interative computation result is carried out cyclic redundancy check (CRC) (namely, CRC check), if verification is passed through, then stop the interative computation process, and if verification is not passed through, then proceed next iteration, until reach predetermined iterations.
If in step S160, determine also not satisfy stopping criterion for iteration, then in step S170, iterations i added 1, namely, i=i+1, then handling process turns back to step S120, judges whether the current iteration that will carry out is the interative computation first time of Turbo decoding.
When determining that in step S120 the current interative computation that will carry out is not that first time of Turbo decoding is during interative computation, handling process proceeds to step S180, based on the forward direction end-state tolerance of storing, in upper once interative computation, obtain and rear to end-state tolerance, last time forward direction initial condition tolerance and the backward initial condition tolerance of interative computation are set.
For example, in an example of method 100, can with in upper once interative computation, obtain rear to end-state tolerance and forward direction end-state tolerance be set to respectively when the forward direction initial condition tolerance of interative computation last time with after measure to initial condition; Perhaps, also forward direction end-state tolerance and the backward end-state tolerance that obtains in the last interative computation can be set to respectively last time forward direction initial condition tolerance and the backward initial condition tolerance of interative computation.In this example, described forward direction initial condition tolerance can comprise probability or the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of each possibility initial condition of described code signal, and described backward initial condition tolerance can comprise probability or the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of each possibility end-state of described code signal, wherein, described probability and logarithm probability likelihood ratio are one to one, and can mutually calculate.
In another example of method 100, can in upper once interative computation, obtain rear to end-state tolerance and forward direction end-state tolerance be weighted summation and the state measurement that obtains be set to when the forward direction initial condition tolerance of interative computation last time with after measure to initial condition.
For example, suppose that described code signal is preset with four kinds of possible initial conditions and corresponding four kinds of possible end-state with it when being begun to encode by encoder, wherein, the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of four kinds of possible initial conditions is represented as respectively α 1, α 2, α 3, α 4, the logarithm probability likelihood ratio of four kinds of possible end-state is represented as respectively β 1, β 2, β 3, β 4, the forward direction end-state tolerance that obtains in upper once interative computation and rear tolerance to end-state are represented as respectively: { β 1, β 2, β 3, β 4, and { α 1, α 2, α 3, α 4, then can be according to equation γ i=a iα i+ b iβ i(a wherein iAnd b iBe weight, i=1,2,3,4) described forward direction end-state tolerance and backward end-state tolerance are weighted summation, and with resulting state measurement { γ 1, γ 2, γ 3, γ 4The forward direction initial condition tolerance and the backward initial condition that are set to interative computation last time measure.Wherein, those skilled in the art can arrange different weight a as required iAnd b iFor example, under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel condition, can think that the confidence level of the forward direction end-state tolerance that obtains through recursive operation and backward end-state tolerance is equal, like this can be with a iAnd b iAll be set to 0.5.Certainly, also can they be set to other value as required.
In another example of method 100, can in upper once interative computation, obtain rear measure to be weighted to end-state tolerance and forward direction end-state multiply each other, and product carried out normalization, the state measurement that then obtains thus is set to that last time forward direction initial condition tolerance and the backward initial condition of interative computation are measured.
For example, suppose that described code signal is preset with four kinds of possible initial conditions and corresponding four kinds of possible end-state with it when being begun to encode by encoder, wherein, the probability of four kinds of possible initial conditions is represented as respectively α 1, α 2, α 3, α 4, the probability of four kinds of possible end-state is represented as β 1, β 2, β 3, β 4, the forward direction end-state tolerance that obtains in upper once interative computation and rear tolerance to end-state are represented as respectively: { β 1, β 2, β 3, β 4, and { α 1, α 2, α 3, α 4, then can be according to following equation computing mode tolerance { γ 1, γ 2, γ 3, γ 4}:
γ i = a i α i × b i β i / Σ j = 1 4 a j α j × b j β j ,
And with the state measurement { γ that calculates 1, γ 2, γ 3, γ 4The forward direction initial condition tolerance and the backward initial condition that are set to interative computation last time measure.Wherein, those skilled in the art can arrange different weight a as required iAnd b i, and i=1,2,3,4, j=1,2,3,4.
Refer again to Fig. 1, in step S180, be provided with when the forward direction initial condition tolerance of interative computation last time and after after initial condition tolerance, in step S140, carry out forward recursive and backward recursive, and repeat the processing of each step described above, thereby code signal is carried out the loop iteration computing of Turbo decoding, until determine to have satisfied stopping criterion for iteration in step S160, the handling process of method 100 just finishes in step S190, thereby finally can obtain decoded signal.
