Wireless signal transmission method and wireless communication system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit wireless communication signal processing, in particular to a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system applied to 60GHz WiFi communication and a wireless signal transmission method based on optimized Alamouti coding.
Background
The transmission rate of the 60GHz wireless communication technology can reach several Gbps, and the wireless communication system has the advantages of good confidentiality, high safety, high transmission speed, concentrated energy, good directivity, strong anti-interference capability and the like. However, the method has the disadvantages that in the process of propagation, the obstacle can generate a strong absorption effect on the 60GHz signal, the scattering effect of the 60GHz signal is very weak, and a Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology is used for the 60GHz wireless communication system, so that the larger path loss and the serious multipath fading of the 60GHz signal can be inhibited, and the performance of the 60GHz wireless communication system is improved. The MIMO technology can not only realize high-speed transmission but also improve transmission quality in a multipath fading environment. The optimized Alamouti orthogonal space-time block coding algorithm can effectively improve the channel capacity of the MIMO-60GHz wireless communication system and can effectively reduce the error rate of a communication channel.
In practical environments, for frequencies of 60GHz and above, the scattering effect is very weak due to high reflected energy loss, which results in large spatial correlation and is very unfavorable for spatial multiplexing. The 60GHz channels are often not independent of each other but correlated. In order to reduce the influence of correlation, the MIMO-60GHz wireless communication system must reasonably design the multi-antenna structure of the system, so important parameters such as antenna spacing, angle spread, central incident angle, and the like are very important for designing the multi-antenna structure.

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further specifically described by the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
Example (b): the wireless communication system of the present embodiment includes two transmitting antennas and two receiving antennas, and a system model is shown in fig. 2. The transmitting antennas of the MIMO system are two antennas, and the transmitting diversity gain can obtain the maximum value. The signals transmitted from the two antennas are orthogonal to each other, and the received signals can be distinguished independently only by maximum likelihood decoding at the receiving end, so that diversity gain can be obtained.
The structure of the transmitting part is shown in fig. 3, and the transmitting part comprises a modulator, an encoder, a transmitting antenna 0 and a transmitting antenna 1, wherein the input end of the modulator is connected with a signal source, the output end of the modulator is connected with the encoder, and the encoder is connected with the transmitting antenna 0 and the transmitting antenna 1. The binary information transmitted by the source is first modulated, i.e. mapped onto a signal constellation. Assuming that a Q-ary modulation scheme is adopted, binary information bits from a source need to be grouped into Q bits, and Q is log2And Q. One group comprises q binary information bits, two continuous groups are mapped to a signal constellation to obtain 2 modulation symbols, and then the modulation symbols are sent to an encoder, and two symbols are encoded according to the following mode:
the output of the encoder is transmitted in two transmission periods which are consecutive in time, the signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna 0 being s in the first transmission period0The signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna 1 is s1(ii) a In the second transmission period, the signal transmitted from the transmitting antenna 0 is-s1 *Hair waving deviceThe signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna 1 is s0 *。
The receiving end combines with a combiner and judges the received symbol with a maximum likelihood detector. At time slot t, the transmitting end respectively has channel parameters of h for transmitting antenna 00(t),h1(t); for the transmitting antenna 1, the channel parameters are h2(t),h3(t) of (d). Assuming that the channel fading remains unchanged for two symbol periods, i.e.
Where T is the symbol transmission period, β0,β1,β2,β3Are coefficients optimized by the algorithm. Theta0,θ1,θ2,θ3Is the central angle of incidence.
As shown in fig. 1, after the program is started, first setting an optimized Alamouti space-time block code initial parameter, such as a Sigma initial value, an antenna distance initial value, and the like, and determining an algorithm initialization condition; then modulating signals according to a set modulation mode (such as BPSK, 16QAM and the like), and coding the modulated signals according to an optimized Alamouti algorithm to form a channel data matrix; then, the channel data is transmitted, and the receiving antenna receives and demodulates the channel data, and outputs the channel data by maximum likelihood decoding. In the process, the error rate and the throughput of the channel can be calculated according to the requirement.
When receiving and decoding, because the code words of the Alamouti space-time block code have orthogonality, the received signals of different antennas at the receiving end can be easily judged through maximum likelihood decoding. It is assumed that the channel state information is unchanged in two transmission periods, and the channel state information can be updated at the receiving end at any time. The following relations are provided:
r0=h0s0+h1s1+n0(5)
r2=h2s0+h3s1+n2(7)
