Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of digital communications. It concerns the way to efficiently decode digital data transmitted on a frequency-selective MIMO channel while optimizing the performance / complexity compromise.
- a global frequency-selective transmission method 300 MIMO is illustrated, between a transmitter 100 with multiple transmission antennas (T number), delivering signals x [n] at the moment n, and a receiver 200 with multiple receiving antennas (R in number), receiving signals y [n] at time n.
- CDMA specific spreading codes
- transmission over a channel capable of generating other sources of interference is envisaged, such as spatial interference from multiple antennas on transmission (denoted MAY) and interference between symbols (denoted ISI) introduced by the frequency selectivity of the channel.
- SI interference between symbols
- LIC-ID detectors use the following functionalities: linear filtering, weighted interference regeneration (of whatever nature), subtraction of the regenerated interference from the received signal. They issue decisions on the modulated data (or symbols) transmitted, the reliability of which increases monotonically with each new attempt.
- the LIC-ID detectors which are intended to suppress the ISI (by block) asymptotically achieve the performance of an optimal detector ML with a calculation complexity similar to that of a linear equalizer.
- the LIC-ID detectors which are intended to combat MUI approach the performance of the optimal ML detector with a computational complexity comparable to that of a simple linear detector.
- a remarkable point of the LIC-ID detectors is that they can be easily combined with the hard or weighted decisions delivered by the channel decoder, thus carrying out a detection and a decoding of the data in a disjoint and iterative manner.
- LIC-ID detectors have been studied separately for the ISI case and for the MUI case in document [1] (see below), in the ISI and MUI case in [2] (see below).
- the present invention takes advantage of the existence of this algorithm, by adapting it to a completely different context.
- the invention provides, according to a first aspect, a reception method according to one of claims 1 to 22.
- the invention provides, according to a second aspect, a transmission system according to claim 23.
- the invention proposes, according to a third aspect, a reception method according to one of claims 24 to 29.
- This receiver is based on a combination of simple techniques and mechanisms, with a view to obtaining the best possible quality of service with spectral efficiency and SNR (ie signal-to-noise ratio) fixed, or, as a corollary, the best possible useful bit rate, with quality service, band and
- the invention proposes an iterative equalization and decoding device comprising a data detector receiving the data coming from the different transmitting antennas comprising: • A single linear filtering generating statistics on the K-dimensional symbolic vectors transmitted taking into account the spatial diversity offered by the R receiving antennas; • Means for, prior to any linear filtering, subtracting from the signal received the interference regenerated from estimates of the K-dimensional symbolic vectors transmitted at disposal; • Means for processing the K-dimensional output of the inary filter 1 in order to generate probabilistic information on bit usable by external decoding; • An external decoding with weighted inputs and outputs, capable of generating so-called extrinsic probabilistic information, relevant for the calculation of the estimates of the transmitted data (within the meaning of the criterion of minimization of the mean square error, or MMSE); • Means for recursively concatenating the output of the external decoding with the interference regenerator.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a general concept of transmission over a frequency-selective MIMO channel
- FIG. 2 illustrates a first part of a transmission method including an external channel coding of the digital information, an interleaving, and a demultiplexing in K streams (one per potential user);
- - Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the transmission method according to Figure 2, including a spatio-temporal (or spatio-frequency) spreading then a multiplexing on T transmitting antennas;
- FIG. 4 illustrates a first part of a variant of a transmission method, including an external channel coding of digital information, an interleaving, a first demultiplexing in T stream (spatial demultiplexing) followed by a second demultiplexing in U stream (demultiplexing in codes);
- FIG. 5 illustrates the second part of the transmission method according to FIG. 4, including a time (or frequency) spreading and an independent multiplexing by antenna, compatible with the HSDPA mode of UMTS;
- FIG. 6 illustrates an equivalent flat ergodic or fading block channel obtained by a decomposition of the frequency-selective MIMO channel in the Fourier base and which is commonly used as a model for multicarrier modulations;
- FIG. 7 illustrates the architecture of a LIC-ID receiver according to the invention, where only the functional blocks are indicated, necessary for understanding the reception process.
- FIGS. 8a and 8b represent two equivalent implementation methods of the LIC-ID receivers, the implementation method of FIG. 8a representing the filtering and regeneration interference parts of the global detector illustrated in FIG. 7.
- Reception is closely linked to the transmission mode, which can be defined by a modulation / coding scheme with high spectral efficiency, and high adaptability, based on the use of spread spectrum modulations and on the use of multiple antennas in transmission and reception.
- the proposed solution is relevant under the assumption of a lack of knowledge of the channel on transmission (no CSI) and a perfect knowledge of the channel on reception (CSI).
- the communication model is briefly described below, with a view to introducing a preferred form of the present invention.
- the useful digital data are collected and grouped into a message m of K 0 bits constituting the source 101 of the digital data in transmission.
- N 0 KxLxq
- K denotes the total number of potential users
- L the length of the packets (in symbol time)
- q the number of bits by modulation symbol.
- the code can be of any type, for example a convolutional code, a turbo-codes, an LDPC code, etc.
- the message m consists of a plurality of messages from different and multiplex sources. Coding is carried out independently on each component message.
- the code word v results from the concatenation at 103 of the different code words produced.
- the code word v is sent to an interleaver 104 (operating at the binary level and, where appropriate, provided with a particular structure).
- the interleaving acts in pieces on the different code words placed one after the other.
- the output of this interleaver is broken up into KL q-tuples of bits, called integers.
- the integer stream is subjected to a demultiplexing process 105 on K distinct channels, K being able to be chosen arbitrarily so as to be strictly greater than the number T of transmitting antennas.
- the output of this operation is a matrix of integers D of dimensionZxZ.
- This generating matrix is also called spreading matrix.
- this matrix is constructed from N orthogonal spreading codes of spreading factor N.
- This linear internal coding therefore corresponds, in this case, to a spatio-temporal spreading (or spatio -frequential) of spreading factor N.
- the vector z [n] of the N chips emitted at the symbolic instant n can always be organized in the form of a vector of chips x [n] resulting from the juxtaposition of the vectors of chips emitted on the T antenna
- N TxS F S F e ⁇
- the recovery of the spatial diversity is carried out through the code Go (in 102) and the external binary interleaving in 104.
- the overload capacity known to increase with the length of the spreading codes, is less.
- the emission shaping filter has a non-zero overflow factor ⁇ (roll-off).
- a filter adapted to this transmission filter is applied for all the reception antennas. It is assumed that the functions of channel estimation and of synchronization of rhythm and of carrier are performed in such a way that the coefficients of the impulse response of the channel are regularly spaced by a value equal to the chip time (band equivalent channel of discrete base at chip time). This hypothesis is legitimate, the Shannon sampling theorem requiring sampling at the rate (1 + ⁇ ) / T c which can be approached by 1 / T C when ⁇ is small.
- Channel model The transmission is carried out on a frequency-selective multiple-input B-block (MIMO) channel: HD ⁇ H (1) , H (2) , ..., H (5) ⁇
- MIMO frequency-selective multiple-input B-block
- the matrix of chips X can be segmented into B matrices of distinct chips X (l) , ..., X (B) , of dimension TxL x (supplemented on the right and on the left by physical zeros or guard time if need be), each matrix X (é) seeing the channel H (A) .
- TxL x supplied on the right and on the left by physical zeros or guard time if need be
- the P coefficients of the impulse response are matrices complexes of dimension RxT, the inputs of which are Gaussian independent identically distributed, of zero mean and of covariance matrix satisfying the global constraint of power normalization: in the case of a power system equally distributed between the different transmitting antennas.
- the eigenvalues of the correlation matrices of the various coefficients of the MIMO channel follow a Wishart distribution. It is emphasized that an equal distribution of the power on the transmitting antennas is a legitimate power allocation policy in the case of a lack of knowledge of the channel at the transmitter (no CSI).
- H (6) is the Sylvester matrix for the channel:
- ⁇ (è) represents the convolution matrix of the channel with the spreading codes: ⁇ w DH w (*) WeD (L s + M) RS F xL s K
- ⁇ b) represents the convolution matrix of the channel with the spreading codes: ⁇ ( ⁇ ) DH (i) W e D L "' RS ⁇ ' + ⁇ ) ⁇
- bit rate is very high and that the coherence time of the channel is large, so that DS F ⁇ > L s D 1.
- the spreading (or even the linear internal coding) is here spatio-frequency or frequency.
- FIG. 6 it is well known to those skilled in the art that the introduction of an IFFT in transmission 120 and an FFT in reception 220 (apart from the interleaving) gives an equivalent non-selective channel in frequency (channel modeled by a circulating matrix thanks to the use of cyclic prefixes, then made diagonal in the Fourier base).
- each carrier sees a flat MIMO channel.
- receiver 200 implements LIC-ID vector equalization.
- Two types of linear front end are derived as examples: MMSE unconditional and SUMF. In the rest of the description, we will omit defining the index b of the block considered in the channel model, the processing being identical for all.
- the invention suggests replacing the optimal detection of K-dimensional symbols s [n] (in the sense of the MAP criterion) by an estimation in the sense of the MMSE criterion (biased), derived on the basis of the sliding window model, the complexity of which is polynomial in system parameters and no longer exponential.
- the filter F ⁇ e D K * L " , RSF is calculated in 202 which, from an updated observation (relating to a portion of the block of the determined channel) removes the ISI corrupting the symbol K- dimensional s [n] and produces an evaluation s [n] of the modulated data (or symbols) transmitted minimizing the mean square error (MSE): E - tvE (s [n] -a [n]) (â [n] -s [n] f
- the modified version is defined in 210, comprising a 0 in position Z, +1, which is used for the regeneration of the interference for the K-dimensional symbol s [n]: siM ⁇ rs 't / i + Zjf s' [ n + lf 0 T s '[»-l] T ••• ⁇ ' [nL 2 -M e D (l 1v + M) K
- An interference estimate is thus regenerated in 210, by multiplying this last vector, with said “channel convolution matrix with spreading codes” codes.
- the K-dimensional vector of residual interference and noise ⁇ '[n] can be whitened by Cholesky decomposition.
- ⁇ ' ⁇ LL f
- FIG. 8b a variant of one or the other of the detections detailed in chapters 5.2 and 5.3 is shown.
- This variant relates to a different way of implementing the filtering 202 ′ and the interference regeneration 210 ′, which is to be compared to the filtering 202 and to the interference regeneration 210 of FIG. 8a (representing these two corresponding detection steps to part of the overall detection shown schematically in Figure 7).
- the filtering 202 ′ is done here upstream of the subtraction of interference 201 regenerated at 210 ′, and not downstream as is the case with reference to FIG. 8a.
- MAP Maximum A Posteriori
- vector processing 203 is replaced according to a MAP criterion, by vector processing 203 using a list sphere decoding algorithm, the complexity of which is less since it is polynomial in K (and not exponential in K, as is the MAP criterion ).
- Variant 2 Here, the vector processing 203 is an iterative linear cancellation derived from an MMSE criterion, or from a criterion of maximization of a signal to noise ratio (also called MAX SNR) being carried out by suitable filters (SUMF) .
- SUMF signal to noise ratio
- Variant 3 The vector processing 203 here comprises the successive implementation of several different vector processing from given iteration (s), each of these vector processing being one of those discussed previously in this chapter. For example, a “MAP” processing is carried out up to iteration i, then a “list sphere” processing up to iteration i + M, then a “MMSE” processing. This 3 rd variant is made possible thanks to the additional degree of freedom available for carrying out vector detection, at a given iteration i.
- a priori information on the bits of the various symbols, coming from the channel decoder 206 is available and usable in the form of logarithmic a priori probability ratios, previously introduced and the expression of which is recalled:
- the extrinsic information on each bit delivered by the vector detection intended for the channel decoder 206 is delivered by a demodulator 203 with weighted output, in the following form: 5] 0] - * i] It is noted ⁇ in the figure 7.
- All the logarithmic reports of extrinsic information on bits are then collected for all the blocks, then properly multiplexed and deinterleaved in 205, bound for the channel decoder 206.
- the latter observes a single vector ⁇ 'eu "", composed of N 0 logarithmic intrinsic probability ratios on bit (one per bit of code word v).
- the decoding 206 uses an algorithm, such as a flexible matching Viterbi algorithm, to deliver the logarithm ⁇ of a posteriori information probability ratio on bits of the modulated data (or symbols) transmitted.
- Reception according to the invention relates not only to a method allowing its implementation, but also to the system capable of executing it, as well as any transmission system integrating this reception system.
