Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to communications systems, and, in particular to a receiver that performs adaptive channel equalization.
  • CDMA systems are based on a digital, wideband, spread spectrum technology which transmits multiple, independent user signals across an allocated segment of the radio spectrum.
  • each user signal includes a different orthogonal code and a pseudo random binary sequence that modulates a carrier, spreading the spectrum of the waveform, and thus allowing a large number of user signals to share the same frequency spectrum.
  • the user signals are separated in the receiver with a correlator which allows only the signal with the selected orthogonal code to be despread.
  • the other user signals, whose codes do not match, are not despread, and as such, contribute to system noise.
  • the signal to noise ratio of the system is dete ⁇ nined by the ratio of the desired signal power to the sum of all interfering signals, enhanced by the system processing gain and the ratio of the spread bandwidth to the baseband data rate.
  • LMS least-mean-square
  • Adequate training for the LMS can also be provided by a conventional RAKE receiver, as is disclosed in M. Latva-aho, Advanced receivers for wideband CDMA systems. Doctoral thesis, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Oulu, Finland, 1998.
  • ISI intersymbol interference
  • a receiver for use in a CDMA telecommunications system includes at least one antenna for receiving signals from a CDMA channel, where the received signals include a desired user signal.
  • the receiver also includes combining circuitry, for performing chip waveform filtering and maximal ratio combining, to produce mutually correlated chip estimates of the received signals.
  • the receiver further includes an adaptive separator, for adaptively separating the mutually correlated chip estimates, and a correlator, for despreading the output of the adaptive separator to obtain an estimate for data symbols of the desired user signal.
  • the receiver further includes estimating circuitry, coupled to the combining circuitry, for estimating a response of the channel, where the combining circuitry utilizes the channel response estimate as a reference.
  • Figure 1 shows a block diagram of a CDMA base station transmitter.
  • Figure 2 shows a block diagram of a receiver in accordance with an aspect of this invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the structure of an adaptive separation filter in accordance with the teachings of this invention.
  • multiple access interference is essentially caused by the multipath channel. Therefore, MAI may be suppressed by linear channel equalization.
  • a receiver using a channel equalizer algorithm is disclosed, which performs linear interchip interference cancellation by adaptive chip separation. The method is suitable for systems with long code scrambling, such as the proposed third generation wideband CDMA systems. The results are shown below to provide considerable performance gains when compared to a conventional RAKE receiver.
  • a CDMA te-rminal space-time adaptive receiver structure for the downlink of CDMA systems employing long code scrambling.
  • the receiver's ability to suppress MAI is based on equalizing the effects of the multipath channel, which essentially restores the orthogonality between different users.
  • the adaptation rule is derived from the bootstrap principle, and its applicability here stems from the observation that the downlink signal is a sequence of uncorrelated, fairly high-powered signal elements, i.e. multiuser chips.
  • An objective of the adaptive separation is to remove the correlation between the chips caused by the channel.
  • the receiver performs linear channel equalization by adaptively decorrelating consecutively transmitted chips.
  • the approach has particular application to the CDMA downlink, since the signal sent by the synchronous base station transmitter is formed by a sequence of uncorrelated multiuser chips, and it has a suitable signal-to-noise ratio for this application. Thus, the power of the entire multiple access signal can be utilized for adaptation.
  • Signals b 1; ..., bi are the complex quadraphase shift keying (QPSK) data symbols for each of 1 through K users.
  • the Walsh code for each user is represented by s ⁇ n), ... , S ⁇ (n), applied at junctions lOOi through 100 ⁇ .
  • User dependent power control amplitude is shown as a ls ..., aj and is applied at junctions 110j through 110 ⁇ .
  • the resulting signals are combined by the summation -function 120.
  • a common complex scrambling code c(n) is applied to the combined signals at junction 130.
  • the resulting signal is shown as d(n).
  • the overall multiuser chip sequence is:
  • a k is the real positive amplitude due to power control
  • bi f is the z ' t complex QPSK data symbol
  • s k is the Walsh code.
  • the period of the common complex scrambling code c(n) may extend over an entire frame of symbols. Due to the long P ⁇ code scrambling, ⁇ d ⁇ ) ⁇ nic is a sequence of uncorrelated complex signal elements, and due to the user-dependent power control, its amplitude distribution is unknown to the receiver. However, from the adaptation point of view, d( ⁇ ) represents the signal to be estimated.
  • the chips are given a transmission waveform p(t) of limited bandwidth.
  • p(t) the continuous time model for the multiple access baseband signal is:
  • Tc is the chip interval duration
  • the received chip waveform at the wth receiver antenna is:
  • ⁇ m ⁇ is the complex gain
  • ⁇ t is the relative delay of the /th path of the multipath channel. Since, compared to the chip rate, the channel parameters are slowly time-varying, they may well be assumed constant over the time interval of interest.
  • ⁇ m (f) is a process of white Gaussian background noise (AWGN) with two- sided power spectral density No/2.
  • AWGN white Gaussian background noise
  • the continuous time waveform hJt-nTc) may be discretized into a vector m (n).
  • the infinite, M- dimensional received signal may be stacked into a vector
  • FIG. 2 A block diagram of the structure of the receiver 10 is depicted in Figure 2.
  • Signals r t (t) through r M (t) are received through at least one or a plurality of antennas 140 l3 ..., 140 M which are each coupled to a corresponding chip matched filter 150 l5 ..., 150 M .
  • Each chip matched filter 150 1; ..., 150 M produces at least one sample per chip at its output.
  • the chip sample sequences pass through delays 160 1; ..., 160 M to compensate for possible channel estimation delay.
  • the coherent RAKE receiver 170 includes a unit, designated Chip MRC 175, for perforating chip maximal ratio combining (MRC) over multipath components and antenna elements.
  • MRC chip maximal ratio combining
  • the mutually correlated chip estimates are adaptively separated by the adaptive separation filter 180.
  • the output of the adaptive separation filter 180 is coupled to a correlator 190 which operates to obtain estimates for the desired users' data symbols by despreading the signal, i.e. by multiplying with a conjugated long scrambling code and user specific Walsh code, supplied by a code generator 200, and then integrating over the symbol period.
  • the output of the correlator 190 is coupled to a deinterleaver 210 which in turn is coupled to a decoder 220.
  • the deinterleaver 210 and the decoder 220 could be conventional in construction and operation.
  • nth output element of the Chip MRC 175 is:
  • the adaptive separation filter 180 Due to multipath propagation, the combined chips are mutually correlated.
  • the objective of the adaptive separation filter 180 is to remove this correlation. Since the correlation matrix P is of Toeplitz form, the separation is reduced into a filtering problem. As depicted in Figure 3, a symmetric filter v is used. Ideally, the filter is infinitely long, but in practice it may be truncated into a manageable length. A suitable filter length may be determined primarily by the channel delay spread. By denoting:
  • the output of the separation filter 180 may be expressed as
  • the adaptation is based on blind linear decorrelation.
  • the receivers are tested in a time-varying Rayleigh channel with delay spread 1 ⁇ s, with three resolvable paths of equal average powers, each independently fading according to a classical Doppler spectrum.
  • a chip rate of 4 MHz with root raised cosine pulse shape filtering, a carrier frequency of 2 GHz, and a vehicle speed of 5 km/h are used in the simulations.
  • Both single-antenna, and two-antenna receivers are simulated. In the two-antenna case, full diversity due to independent fading between the elements is assumed. Perfect estimates of the channel impulse response are given to the receivers.
  • the chip separator offers considerable gain compared to RAKE especially in heavily loaded channels.
  • the separator also seems to benefit more from the extra dimension given by the diversity antenna.
  • the simulations show that the adaptive chip separator outperforms the conventional RAKE receiver, especially at high data rates when the spreading factor is small, or when the system is heavily loaded by multiple users.
