Definitions
- the present invention relates to a wireless communication system with multiple antennas. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adaptive transmission and receiving method and device in a wireless communication system with multiple antennas.
- the MIMO (multiple input multiple output) method which is a transmission and receiving method using a plurality of antennas at a transmitter and a receiver, is one of the most noteworthy techniques in the wireless/mobile communication systems because of its performance improvement possibilities in increasing spectral efficiencies and diversity of transmission and reception.
- One method for increasing data rates from among the transmission and receiving methods with multiple antennas is an SM (spatial multiplexing) method, in which a symbol sequence is divided into a plurality of sequences and transmitted to different transmit antennas.
- the symbols transmitted through the different antennas according to the SM method can be detected by using an OSIC (ordered successive interference canceller) receiver, a linear receiver based on ZF (zero forcing) or the MMSE (minimum mean square error) criterion, or an optimal ML (maximum likelihood) receiver.
- OSIC ordered successive interference canceller
- ZF zero forcing
- MMSE minimum mean square error
- ML maximum likelihood
- the transmit diversity method by the Alamouti scheme in the case of two transmit antennas is widely applied to 3 rd generation mobile communication systems and broadband radio-access systems, because the transmit diversity method provides simple configurations of the transmitter and the receiver and enables acquisition of diversity of transmit and receive channels.
- the Alamouti antenna transmit method is an orthogonal STBC (space time block code) for two transmit antennas.
- an orthogonal code exists only when two transmit antennas are provided, and hence, pseudo orthogonal STBCs have been proposed for other numbers of transmit antennas.
- SFBC space frequency block code
- the SM method transmits a different symbol for each transmit antenna, its performance is substantially changed according to features of elements of an MIMO channel, but since the performance of an STBC method is determined not by each element of the MIMO channel but by the summation of the elements, the STBC method is less sensitive to the MIMO channel features, and hence, a desired antenna transmit method can be differentiated according to the channel environments.

- (a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a wireless communication system with multiple antennas. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adaptive transmission and receiving method and device in a wireless communication system with multiple antennas.
- (b) Description of the Related Art
- The MIMO (multiple input multiple output) method, which is a transmission and receiving method using a plurality of antennas at a transmitter and a receiver, is one of the most noteworthy techniques in the wireless/mobile communication systems because of its performance improvement possibilities in increasing spectral efficiencies and diversity of transmission and reception.
- One method for increasing data rates from among the transmission and receiving methods with multiple antennas is an SM (spatial multiplexing) method, in which a symbol sequence is divided into a plurality of sequences and transmitted to different transmit antennas. The symbols transmitted through the different antennas according to the SM method can be detected by using an OSIC (ordered successive interference canceller) receiver, a linear receiver based on ZF (zero forcing) or the MMSE (minimum mean square error) criterion, or an optimal ML (maximum likelihood) receiver.
- Meanwhile, antenna diversity schemes are widely used to reduce a multi-path fading effect without increasing the data rates. In particular, the transmit diversity method by the Alamouti scheme in the case of two transmit antennas is widely applied to 3rd generation mobile communication systems and broadband radio-access systems, because the transmit diversity method provides simple configurations of the transmitter and the receiver and enables acquisition of diversity of transmit and receive channels. The Alamouti antenna transmit method is an orthogonal STBC (space time block code) for two transmit antennas. However, an orthogonal code exists only when two transmit antennas are provided, and hence, pseudo orthogonal STBCs have been proposed for other numbers of transmit antennas. When such codes are applied in the frequency domain as in the OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) transmission, they are called as SFBC (space frequency block code).
- As described, since the SM method transmits a different symbol for each transmit antenna, its performance is substantially changed according to features of elements of an MIMO channel, but since the performance of an STBC method is determined not by each element of the MIMO channel but by the summation of the elements, the STBC method is less sensitive to the MIMO channel features, and hence, a desired antenna transmit method can be differentiated according to the channel environments.
- A prior art for improving performance such as capacity and quality in the multiple antenna system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,351,499 by lospan which varies a number of transmit antennas for SM according to characteristics of the MIMO channel. However, since the number of the transmit antennas is varied, functions of a receiver become complicated, and the prior art does not exploit the advantages of an STBC.
- Together with this, an actively applied method for increasing the data throughput in the current state is the adaptive modulation coding method which selects a modulation order and a code rate suitable for desired performance according to an instantaneous state of fading and background noise intensity of a wireless channel, and transmits them variably, thereby increasing the data throughput. The above-noted adaptive modulation coding method is applied to the HSDPA and the 1 xEV-DV which are evolved 3rd generation mobile communication systems, and to the wireless LAN system and to the broadband radio access system, and it has been currently developed and commercialized.
- However, selection references for channel state information and a modulation and coding method used by the conventional adaptive modulation coding methods are difficult to directly apply to wireless communication systems with multiple antennas that use spatial multiplexing, performance of which is greatly varied according to characteristics of the MIMO channel.

- Next, it is determined whether the transmit modes IB and IM found through the steps S10 and S20 satisfy that IB>IM or satisfy that I=IB=IM and ΔB,l>ΔM,l in step S30.
- If IB>IM or if I=IB=IM and ΔB,l>ΔM,l, the
sub-transmit mode 0 of the main transmit mode IB is selected in step S40, or else thesub-transmit mode 1 of the main transmit mode IM is selected in step S50. - In the step S30, a main transmit mode for supporting high data rates from among the data rates supported according to sub-transmit modes, that is, a value having a large main transmit mode index is initially selected, and when the data rates respectively supported by the sub-transmit modes are the same, a mode for requiring less transmit power, that is, a sub-transmit mode for further decreasing the transmit power, is selected.
- When the number of the transmit antennas is M according to the preferred embodiment, the STBC performance parameter SB is given as
Equation 3. -
- is an MIMO channel response,
ES is a transmit symbol energy, and N0 is the variance of complex additive white noise. - Meanwhile, the SM performance parameter SM can be given as
- Equation 4 for having the minimum value of the post-processing SNR as a reference or
Equation 5 for having the geometric mean of the post-processing SNR as a reference. -
- From
Equations 4 and 5, SNRSM,q is a post-processing SNR of the symbol transmitted to the q-th transmit antenna, Equation 4 is found based on the fact that the performance before a channel decoding depends on the minimum SNR, andEquation 5 is for introducing a performance improvement caused by a well-performed symbol after the channel decoding, and hence, usage ofEquation 5 generates improved performance after channel decoding. - Equation 6 shows an SM post-processing SNR calculated based on a linear reception is processed, when the number of the transmit antennas is M.
-
- where hq is the q-th column vector of H, and gq is the q-th column vector of the linear equalization matrix G.
- The linear equalization matrix G is differentiated according to the linear equalization criterion, and it uses Equation 7 when using the ZF criterion, and it uses
Equation 8 when using the MMSE criterion. -
- After this process, the SNR can be used in any case when the receiver uses any method for the antenna/symbol demodulator on the SM. The threshold value TM,l and Tl for determining the transmit mode are modified according to the antenna/symbol demodulation method and the SM post-processing SNR calculation method.
- Equation 9 shows the SNR after processing the SM method calculated based on the ZF criterion when the number of the transmit antennas is 2, and the number N of the receive antennas is greater than 2. From Equation 9, Equation 4 can be given as Equation 10, and
Equation 5 can be given as Equation 11. -
- where Aqq −1 is the (q,q)-th element of A−1,
-
- is a channel power ratio of the q-th transmit antenna,
-
- is a channel correlation between two transmit antennas, and ||v|| is a norm of v.
-
Equation 10 -
S M=10log10 (αmin (1−ρ2))+S B - where αmin=minq αq.
-
Equation 11 -
S M=10log10 (√{square root over (α1α2)} (1−ρ2))+S B - where α1 and α2 are channel power ratio for each transmit antenna, and ρ is a channel correlation of the transmit antenna.
- Therefore, the channel power ratio for each channel transmit antenna can be calculated from the MIMO channel, and (SB-SM) can be calculated from the channel correlation of the transmit antenna instead of directly calculating the SM performance parameter SM.

comparator 650 selects thesub-transmit mode 0 of the main transmit mode IB when l B>lM, and selects thesub-transmit mode 1 of the main transmit mode IM when l B<lM, as shown in the step S30 ofFIG. 4 . - In addition, in the case that l=lB=lM, the
comparator 650 selects thesub-transmit mode 0 of the main transmit mode I when ΔB,l>ΔM,l, and selects thesub-transmit mode 1 if not, thereby outputting finally selected transmit mode and sub-transmit mode information. - According to the present invention, the main transmit mode for transmitting specific data rates using the adaptive transmit method is configured with the transmit and receive method based on the SM antenna transmit method and the transmit and receive method based on the STBC antenna transmit method so as to adaptively select a desired method depending on the MIMO channel environment in the wireless communication system with multiple antennas, thereby more effectively handling the MIMO channel environment to further increase the data rates in the given transmit power, and reduce transmit power consumption in the given data rates.
