Description

Soft decision method and receiving system thereof
Technical field
Data processing method in the relevant communication system of the present invention is particularly relevant for a kind of soft decision method of communication system inverse mapping.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is the functional block diagram of existing receiving system 10, comprises signal reductor 140, inverse mapping device (demapper) 160 and decoder 180.Inverse mapping device 160 comprises mapping function corresponding intrument 164 and quantizer 167.
Signal reductor 140 receiving inputted signals also will be originally convert one group of in-phase signal corresponding to frequency domain (inphase signal is called for short I signal) and orthogonal signalling (quadrature signal is called for short Q signal) to corresponding to the input signal of time domain.Inverse mapping device 160 is according to the numerical data of star-plot (constellation) generation that is applied to input signal corresponding to I and Q signal.For example, move key (binary phase shift keying corresponding to two-phase, BPSK), four phase shift keys (quadrature phase shift keying, QPSK), 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (16quadrature amplitude modulation, 16QAM) and the star-plot of the modulation system of 64QAM have nothing in common with each other, therefore, pairing I of numerical data and Q signal also are not quite similar.At last, decoder 180 converts the digital data into dateout.
In theory, I that produced in the receiving system 10 and Q signal should be accurately corresponding to two integers of the Gray code on the star-plot (Gray code).Gray code is a kind of coded system, and it is an ordered series of numbers set, and each number uses binary system to represent, has only a place value difference between any two numbers.Yet, owing to may being subjected to I and Q signal that interference of noise makes that signal reductor 140 produced, receiving system 10 handled signals are not integer, that is, I and Q signal may be exactly corresponding to the arbitrary Gray codes on the star-plot, therefore need with other method the I of non-integer kenel and Q signal corresponding to a Gray code again.
Soft-decision (soft decision) mode is one of solution to the problems described above.Fig. 2 is existing 64QAM star-plot.Wherein abscissa is represented I signal, and ordinate is represented Q signal, and the every bit on the star-plot is all corresponding to one 6 value (0~2 6-1), wherein front three is represented the I part, represents the Q part for back three.If receiving system 10 uses the modulation system of 64QAM, (I Q) is mapped as (I for the I that this soft-decision mode can receive inverse mapping device 160 and the coordinate figure of Q signal 0, I 1, I 2, Q 0, Q 1, Q 2) one group of soft-decision coordinate figure.For example, the I coordinate figure is 5.3, corresponds to (I by mapping function to installing 164 0*, I 1*, I 2*)=(5.3 ,-1.3,0.7), the mapping function of its foundation is as follows:
I 0 * = I I 1 * = - | I | + 4 I 2 * = - | | I | - 4 | + 2
Be subject to the memory of hardware, the real work upward needs smallest number is turned to the acceptable number range of hardware, so pass through quantizer 167 with (I 0*, I 1*, I 2*)=(5.3 ,-1.3,0.7) be quantified as (I as shown in Figure 2 0, I 1, I 2)=(3 ,-2,2), with (I originally 0*, I 1*, I 2*)=(5.3 ,-1.3,0.7) widely different.Existing soft-decision mode is with the I on the star-plot 0, I 1And I 2All be divided into N five equilibrium (N=8 among Fig. 2), and do not consider I 0, I 1And I 2Three's scope difference is promptly worked as I 0The decision on the occasion of or negative value after, I 1Four corner have only I 0Half of four corner, that is, I 1Four corner have only I 0On the occasion of interval or negative value interval; In like manner, work as I 1The decision on the occasion of or negative value after, I 2Four corner have only I 1Half of four corner.More particularly, I 0=4 and I 1The absolute growth of the indivedual initial points of=4 both distances is also inequality.In fact, as shown in Figure 2, I 1=4 absolute growths apart from its initial point have only I 0=4 apart from half of the absolute growth of its initial point.Therefore, if the three is divided into the N five equilibrium, distortion in the time of can causing quantizing and influence the judgement of decoder, thereby cause coding gain (coding gain) to reduce, and understand because of the position that can't accurately correct mistakes, and the raising bit error rate (bit error rate, BER).Therefore a kind of preferable soft decision method of very ardent needs reaches relevant receiving system, to increase coding gain and to reduce bit error rate.
