Definitions
- This invention relates to a method and apparatus for achieving transmit diversity in telecommunication systems and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for non-zero complex weighting and space-time coding signals for transmission on multiple antennas.
- Time-varying multi-path fading is an effect in wireless systems whereby a transmitted signal propagates along multiple paths to a receiver causing fading of the received signal due to the constructive and destructive summing of the signals at the receiver.
- Several methods are known for overcoming the effects of multi-path fading, such as time interleaving with error correction coding, implementing frequency diversity by utilizing spread spectrum techniques, or transmitter power control techniques.
- Each of these techniques has drawbacks in regard to use for third and fourth generation wireless systems. Time interleaving may introduce unnecessary delay, spread spectrum techniques may require large bandwidth allocation to overcome a large coherence bandwidth, and power control techniques may require higher transmitter power than is desirable for sophisticated receiver-to-transmitter feedback techniques that increase mobile terminal complexity. All of these drawbacks have negative impact on achieving the desired characteristics for third and fourth generation mobile terminals.
- Antenna diversity is another technique for overcoming the effects of multi-path fading in wireless systems.
- two or more physically separated antennas are used to receive a transmitted signal, which is then processed by combining and switching to generate a received signal.
- a drawback of diversity reception is that the physical separation required between antennas may make diversity reception impractical for use on the forward link in the new wireless systems where small mobile terminal size is desired.
- a second technique for implementing antenna diversity is transmit diversity. In transmit diversity a signal is transmitted from two or more antennas and then processed at the receiver by using e.g. maximum likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE), minimum mean square error (MMSE) receivers, Maximum-a Posteriori receivers, or their approximations. Transmit diversity has more practical application to the forward link in wireless systems in that it is easier to implement multiple antennas in the base station than in the mobile terminal.
- MSE maximum likelihood sequence estimator
- MMSE minimum mean square error
- Transmit diversity has more practical application to the forward link in wireless systems in that it is easier to implement multiple
- Alamouti has proposed a method of transmit diversity for two antennas that offers second order diversity for complex valued signals.
- S. Alamouti "A Simple Transmit Diversity Technique for Wireless Communications, " IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Communications, pp. 1451-1458, October 1998.
- the Alamouti method involves simultaneously transmitting two signals from two antennas during a symbol period. During one symbol period, the signal transmitted from a first antenna is denoted by SO and the signal transmitted from the second antenna is denoted by S1. During the next symbol period, the signal -S1* is transmitted from the first antenna and the signal SO* is transmitted from the second antenna, where * is the complex conjugate operator.
- a similar diversity transmission system may also be realized in code domain. As an example, two copies of the same symbol can be transmitted in parallel using two orthogonal Walsh codes. Similar techniques can be also used to construct a space-frequency coding method.
- This method requires an outer code and offers second order diversity due to the STTD block (Alamouti block) and a second order interleaving gain from use of the OTD block.
- Another rate 1 method is proposed in O. Tirkkonen, A. Boariu, and A. Hottinen, "Minimal non-orthogonality rate 1 space-time block code for 3+ Tx antennas," in Proc. ISSSTA 2000, September 2000. The method proposed in this publication attains high performance but requires a complex receiver. [0007] It would be advantageous, therefore, to have a method and apparatus that provided the advantage of transmit diversity on greater than two antennas while at the same time not greatly increasing the complexity of system design.
- the present invention presents a method and apparatus for non-zero complex weighting and space-time coding signals for transmission on multiple antennas.
- the method and apparatus provides expansion of an N x N' space- time block code, where N is the number of transmit paths and N' is the number of output symbols per transmit path, to a M x M' space-time block code, where M>N, generated by using repetition and non-zero complex weighting of the symbols within the N x N' space time block code, to allow transmission of the space time block code on a number M of diversity transmit paths.
- the diversity transmit paths may comprise separate antennas or beams.
- the temporal length of the larger code M' may equal the temporal length of the original code, N'.
- a transform is performed on an input symbol stream, to generate a transform result comprising a space-time block code.
- the N output streams of the space-time block code, each consisting of N' output symbols, are then repeated and at least one of the repeated streams non-zero complex weighted over time to generate M streams of N' output symbols for transmission on M diversity transmit paths.
- the non-zero complex weighting may include phase shifting.
- N is at least 2 and M is at least 3. At least two of the N streams of N' output symbols, corresponding to the original N streams of N' output symbols, are then each transmitted on a first at least one antenna and at least one of the M-N non-zero complex weighted streams of N' symbols are transmitted on one of a second at least one antenna.
- the first at least one antenna and second at least one antenna may comprise of any one of the M antennas.
- the method and apparatus may be implemented in a transmitter having common or dedicated pilot channels that enable efficient channel estimation of the coefficients that are required to decode the space-time code.
- the common and dedicated pilot channels may be implemented alone or both together in the transmitter.
- training symbols are transmitted on N transmit diversity paths, making it possible to estimate the N independent diversity transmit paths.
- a dedicated pilot channel code sequence may be multiplexed into each of the N streams of N' output symbols of the original space-time block code, to generate N streams of N' output symbols and pilot channel sequence. Repetition and non-zero complex weighting may then be applied to generate M phase shifted streams of N' symbols and pilot channel sequence.
- At least two of the N original streams of N' output symbols and pilot channel sequence are then transmitted on one of the first at least one antenna and at least one of the M-N complex weighted streams of N' output symbols and pilot channel sequence are transmitted on one of the second at least one antenna.
- Another way of enabling estimation of N channels is to transmit common pilot channels so that N common pilot channel are transmitted on each of the first at least one antenna, and M-N complex weighted copies of some of the N common pilot channels are transmitted on each of the second at least one antenna.
- the complex weighting factors used for the common channels on each of the second at least one antenna are the same as the ones used to construct the M-N additional complex weighted streams of N' output symbols from the original N streams of N' output symbols.
- the receiver may or may not know the method used to expand the N x N' space- time block code to an M x N' space-time block code, and the temporal weighting sequences employed.
- the pilot channels may be arranged to enable estimation of at least N+1 diversity transmit paths. At least one of the N streams of N' output symbols, corresponding to the original N streams of N' output symbols, are then each transmitted on a first at least one antenna and at least one of the M-N complex weighted streams of N' symbols are each transmitted on one of a second at least one antenna. Different common pilot channels are transmitted on each of the first at least one antenna and on at least one of the second at least one antenna.
- the receiver needs at least partial knowledge of the method used to expand the N x N' space-time block code to an M x N' space-time block code, and the temporal weighting sequences employed.
- Complex weighting in the various embodiments may be applied by applying a periodic or random complex weighting pattern to each of the symbol streams that are complex weighted.
- the relationship between the complex weights of the symbol streams transmitted on the various antennas may also be predefined.

- Transmitter 150 includes input 152 for receiving an input symbol stream, block code processor 154 for performing a transform on the input symbol stream to generate a transform result representable by an orthogonal space time block code and outputting 2 streams of symbols of the transform result, non-zero complex weighter 156 for non-zero complex weighting a first one of the two streams of symbols, a non-zero complex weighter 158 for non-zero complex weighting the second of the two streams of symbols, an RF transmitter 160 for transmitting the first stream of symbols on Ant. 1 , RF transmitter 162 for transmitting the non-zero complex weighted stream of symbols on Ant.
- each of the 4 transmit diversity paths includes a separate antenna, Ant. 1 - Ant. 4.
- the non-zero complex weighting may be all performed on selected ones of the transmission paths to create relative phase shifts between the transmissions on Ant. 1 and Ant. 2 or on Ant. 3 and Ant. 4.
- non-zero complex weighting could also be applied before the inputs to RF transmitters 160 and 164, creating a non-zero complex weighted version of each of the symbol streams, but maintaining a relative phase shift between the transmitted signals.
- An alternative of the embodiment of transmitter 150 may be implemented using less than 4 antennas, to implement the 4 diversity paths.
- the signals input to RF transmitters 164 or 166 may be connected together and transmitted on a single antenna.
- the non-zero complex weighing operation may be performed after RF transmitter blocks 160, 162, 164, 166, i.e., non-zero complex weighing could be implemented as a continuous phase sweep after the modulation, and baseband filtering of Space-Time coded symbols.
- the non-zero complex weighting for these transmissions on Ant. 2 and Ant. 4 may be performed according to various alternatives.
- Examples of this would be a phase pattern of shifts in degrees of ⁇ 0, 90, 180, 270 ⁇ on Ant. 2 and ⁇ 180, 270, 0, 90 ⁇ on Ant. 4 for 4PSK constellation.
- FIG. 15 shows a constellation defining another phase shifting pattern that may be used in various embodiments of the invention.
- This sequence of shifts in degrees of ⁇ 0, 135, 270, 45, 180, 315, 90, 225 ⁇ may be transmitted on antenna 2 while using the pattern of shifts in degrees of ⁇ 180, 315, 90, 225, 0, 135, 270, 45 ⁇ on antenna 4.
- the phase shifting may be periodic or random. Periodic phase shifting refers to a predefined phase pattern for e.g. complex weight W1(t) repeated periodically.
- the complex weights can be defined so that the sequence of complex weights defines a maximal length path, to make successive samples of the effective channel as independent as possible. This can make interleaving redundant and thus enable low delay transmission.
- Pseudo-random phase shifting used may be a sequence of random phase selections from a MPSK constellation.
- another non-zero complex weighting scheme where the phase difference between successive phase states is as small as possible is advantageous when estimating channel coefficients or metrics related to power control from a non-zero complex weighted channel.
- the phase states may still cover 360 degrees during the duration of one encoding block.
- Channel interleaving may be used in the embodiments as in conventional systems.
- the non-zero complex weighting sequence and the interleaver jointly, so that the symbols at the output of the interleaver are as independent as possible.
- the method can be implemented so that there is a phase shift or sweep in all antenna elements, but relative phase shifts between antennas 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 are maintained.
- phase sweep one may have a 50 Hz phase sweep on antenna 1 and -50 Hz phase sweep on antenna 2, in order to implement a 100 Hz effective sweep.
- antennas 3 and 4 may have a 50 Hz phase sweep on antenna 1 and -50 Hz phase sweep on antenna 2, in order to implement a 100 Hz effective sweep.
- the phase rotation may be changed every T seconds.
- T depends on total time duration of the data symbols and the method used for estimating the channel coefficients.
- the phase may be kept constant for the total time duration occupied by the data symbols within at least one space-time encoding block and the corresponding dedicated or common pilot sequence/training sequence can be used to enable proper channel estimation.
- the pilot sequence could be a walsh code, as used in CDMA systems, or sequence of training symbols with good correlation properties used for channel estimation in TDMA.
- the pilot symbols may apply the same non-zero complex weighting coefficients as the data within the space-time block. Alternatively, the pilots may be transmitted without phase hopping.
- the effective channel for the data can be derived jointly from the a priori known hopping pattern and the channel estimate obtained from a non-hopping channel.
- the same or different phase pattern may be applied to both data and common pilots.
- Channel estimation using non-hopping pilot or training sequences provides better channel estimates as the channel is more stationary.
