Technical Field
The invention belongs to the wireless communication technology, and particularly relates to a spatial modulation method combining array gain control and analog beamforming, and a large-scale MIMO system based on the spatial modulation method.
Background
Compared with the traditional MIMO, the number of the antennas of the large-scale MIMO is increased by a plurality of orders, the large-scale MIMO has very high array gain, the path loss can be effectively resisted, and the robustness of the system is improved. However, in conventional MIMO systems, precoding is typically performed at digital baseband and requires dedicated baseband and rf hardware for each antenna. For large-scale MIMO systems, it is difficult to achieve all-digital communication due to the high cost and power consumption of the rf link. The use of the analog beam forming technology can effectively reduce the use number of radio frequency links, reduce the hardware implementation cost and reduce the system complexity and the power loss. In a massive MIMO downlink multiuser system, if the number of transmit antennas at the base station is much larger than the number of receive antennas of the users, the channel between the base station and each user is close to orthogonal. Because the larger the number of base station antennas is, the smaller the interference among users is, the interference among users in the massive MIMO system tends to be zero. At this time, the optimal beamforming vector can be selected to reduce the inter-user interference by performing analog beamforming based on the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio criterion to maximize the power of the target user and minimize the power leaked to the channel direction of other users.
Spatial modulation is one way to achieve multiple antenna gains. In a MIMO system based on transmit antenna spatial modulation, the transmitter transmits signals only on one antenna or on several antennas at the same time. Thus, the transmitter can realize that the bit data corresponds to the antenna transmission mode, thereby adding extra transmission information. The receiver demodulates the data by determining the mode of transmission. The invention applies the spatial modulation technology to the large-scale MIMO system with the mixed structure, and improves the transmission rate of the system.

At a certain moment, after the transmitting antenna sub-array is determined by the space information bits, in the transmitting antenna sub-array, the channel coefficient from the ith transmitting antenna to the pth receiving antenna is hp,i.

Each respective emission pattern may be in accordance withBit information is mapped, whereinIndicating a rounding down operation.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a narrowband cluster channel model is employed. If there are L transmission paths in the mm wave channel, the narrowband cluster channel model may be expressed as:

In the present embodiment, the antenna arrays of the base station and the user terminal are uniform linear antenna arrays. At this time, arl) Andcan be further respectively represented as
Wherein k is02 pi/λ, λ is the carrier wavelength, and d denotes the antenna spacing.
In this embodiment, the base station determines the transmit antenna sub-array according to the spatial information bits corresponding to the user. Assuming that the base station does not know the channel state information, the user terminal needs to transmit a signal to the base station, and the transmitting antenna sub-array of the base station estimates the arrival angle of the direct path of the uplink signal by adopting an MUSIC algorithm according to the received signal. Then, according to the reciprocity of the uplink and downlink of the channel, the transmitting angle of the signal in the downlink is obtained to form an analog beam forming vector, so that the beam direction is aligned to the direction of the optimal path.
Assuming that the estimated transmission angle of the direct signal path in the downlink is phi, the analog beamforming vector of the mth transmit antenna sub-array can be expressed as:

Assuming equivalent gain β for the receiver to know the channelmHmfmThe receiver may jointly estimate the transmission pattern and the information symbols by maximum likelihood detection based on the received signal, thereby demodulating the spatial information and determining the transmitted information symbols. Assuming that a signal is transmitted using the m-th group of antenna sub-arrays of the transmitter (corresponding to the m-th transmission pattern), an error vector is defined:

Then, the transmission pattern and the information symbols are jointly estimated according to the following criteria:
the transmission pattern and information symbols are determined from the estimates of m and n so that the spatial information and symbol information can be demodulated.
The estimate of the transmitted information symbol s is:

R=log2(N)+log2t) (10)
where N is the modulation order of the information, ΓtIs the number of transmission patterns.
Scene two: large-scale MIMO downlink transmission system with multi-user hybrid structure
Here, downlink multi-user transmission is considered, i.e. the base station transmits different data to multiple users simultaneously. As shown in fig. 2(a) and 2(b), a base station (transmitter) is configured with n for each usertA root antenna, a k user receiving end configured with nkA root antenna, K users in total. At a certain moment, after a transmitting antenna sub-array is determined by the spatial information bits of the kth user, the channel coefficient from the ith transmitting antenna to the pth receiving antenna of the kth user in the transmitting antenna sub-array isThe signal received by the kth user can be expressed as:
wherein Hk,kAnd Hk,qRespectively representing the kth of the base stationChannel matrix from transmitting antenna subarrays of users and q users to k user, fkAnd fqRespectively representing the analog beamforming vectors, x, of the kth and qth userskAnd xqSymbols, w, transmitted for the k and q users respectivelykIs a noise vector, wkSubject to a mean of zero and a variance ofComplex gaussian distribution.
In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the base station is configured with n for each usertA root antenna, and ntη mu, where η and mu are positive integers, the antennas of each user are divided into η uniform linear antenna sub-arrays, each having mu antennasA transmission pattern in whichRepresenting a combinational operation. Each respective emission pattern may be in accordance withBit information is mapped, whereinIndicating a rounding down operation.
In this embodiment, a narrowband cluster channel model is employed. Assuming that there are L transmission paths in the mm wave channel, the narrow band cluster channel model between the k-th user's transmitting antenna sub-array and the user's receiving end can be expressed as:
wherein L iskIndicates the number of paths for the k-th user,the gain factor of the ith path of the kth user is represented, and the kth user follows a complex Gaussian distribution with the mean value of 0 and the variance of 1;andrespectively representing the arrival angle and the emission angle of the ith path of the kth user, obeying (0,2 pi)]Is uniformly distributed.Andand respectively representing antenna array response vectors of a transmitting antenna sub array of a kth user of the base station and the ith path of the kth user terminal.
In the present embodiment, the antenna arrays of the base station and the user terminal are uniform linear antenna arrays. At this time, the process of the present invention,andcan be further respectively represented as
Wherein k is02 pi/λ, λ is the carrier wavelength, and d denotes the antenna spacing.
In this embodiment, for each user, the base station determines a transmit antenna sub-array according to the spatial information bits corresponding to each user. Assuming that the base station does not know the channel state information, each user side respectively sends mutually orthogonal signals to the base station, the base station receives the signals by using the transmitting antenna sub-array of each user, and estimates the arrival angle of the direct path of the uplink signal of each user by adopting an MUSIC algorithm. And similarly, acquiring the transmission angle of the signal in the downlink of each user according to the reciprocity of the uplink and the downlink of the channel. Then, for the active antenna subarray, the invention obtains the analog beam forming vector f based on the signal-to-leakage-noise ratio criterionkMaximizing the power of the target user and minimizing the power leakage to other users.
Further, the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio of the kth user can be expressed as:
wherein,a steering vector corresponding to a transmitting angle from a transmitting antenna sub-array of a kth user to a direct path of the kth user of the base station is represented,a steering vector rho corresponding to the transmitting angle from the transmitting antenna sub-array of the kth user to the direct path of the qth user of the base stationk,kAnd ρq,kRespectively representing the corresponding path gain, in denominatorThe term represents the power that leaks from the beamforming direction of the target user k to the other users. By maximizing SLNRkSo as to obtain the optimal beamforming vector f of the kth userk. By analogy, the optimal beamforming vectors of all users of the base station can be obtained.
In this embodiment, when the correlation between the antenna sub-arrays of the transmitter corresponding to a certain user is strong, an array gain control method is adopted to achieve channel differentiation, that is, in a certain frame transmission time, η groups of antenna sub-arrays of the kth user are endowed with different array gains, and the array gain corresponding to each antenna sub-array is kept unchanged in each frame transmission time and is different in the transmission time of different frames, so as to reduce the high channel correlation caused by the close spatial distance of the large-scale antenna array at the transmitting end.
Where m is an antenna sub-array (m 1, 2.., η), β, selected by spatial information bits at a timek,mIs the array gain factor of the mth group antenna sub-array in the kth user and satisfies E { | βk,m|21, array gain factor βk,mThe transmission time of each frame is kept constant and is different in the transmission time of different frames.
Assuming equivalent gain β for the receiver to know the channelmHmfmThe receiver may jointly estimate the transmission pattern and the information symbols using maximum likelihood detection based on the received signal, thereby demodulating the spatial information and determining the transmitted information symbols. Because the multi-user channels of the large-scale MIMO are gradually orthogonal, and each user carries out analog beam forming based on the signal-to-leakage-and-noise ratio criterion, the beams among all users at the transmitting end can be assumed to have strong directivity, and the interference among all users is almost zero. Similar to a single user, multiple users can be independently demodulated, respectively. Assuming that the mth group of antenna sub-arrays of the kth user transmitter transmits (corresponding to the mth transmission pattern), an error vector is defined:
εn,m=y-βmHmfmsn(17)
wherein HmTo representChannel matrix from mth transmit antenna subarray to receiver βmFor the array gain, s, of the m-th transmit antenna sub-arraynFor the information symbol corresponding to the nth constellation point in the set N-dimensional information constellation diagram, a maximum likelihood estimation method or a minimum euclidean distance estimation method may be correspondingly adopted. Then, the transmission pattern and the information symbols are jointly estimated according to the following criteria:
the transmission pattern and information symbols are determined from the estimates of m and n so that the spatial information and symbol information can be demodulated.
The estimate of the transmitted information symbol s is:
in a multi-user multi-input multi-output system, the transmission rate of the kth user in the multi-user large-scale MIMO system based on spatial modulation is as follows:
