Definitions
- the present invention relates to wireless communication systems.
- the present invention is a method and apparatus for improving channel and system performance in a wireless communication system.
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing refers to a data transmission scheme wherein user-data is split into smaller data streams and transmitted using sub-carriers that each has a smaller bandwidth than the total available transmission bandwidth.
- the efficiency of OFDM results from the orthogonality of the sub-carriers. That is to say, the sub-carriers are selected such that they do not interfere with each other during transmission, thus resulting in an efficient transmission scheme.
- MIMO Multiple-Input Multiple-Output
- a MIMO system takes advantage of the spatial diversity or spatial multiplexing options created by the presence of the multiple antennas to increase throughput.
- a continuing challenge for OFDM-MIMO systems is system performance, i.e., capacity, reliability, etc.
- An example of one such technique is referred to as "water-filling”
- another example is power control. Water-filling and power control describe processes whereby a transmitter estimates channel conditions using feedback signals from a receiver in the system.
- the transmitter attempts to transmit user data in a way that optimizes channel performance in view of the channel conditions.
- water-filling and power control rely upon knowledge of the transmission channel, via feedback signals, to optimize channel performance.
- the signaling overhead associated with these feedback signals is significant and often limits any potential increase in system performance.
- generating and transmitting feedback signals causes delays which also limit potential increases in system performance.
- the present invention is a method and apparatus for improving system performance in Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication systems.
- a transmitter generates and transmits a low rate signal to its intended receiver.
- the intended receiver Upon receiving the low rate signal, the intended receiver generates and transmits a channel sounding response (CSR), said CSR being a short burst having a predefined transmit format and carrying predetermined information.
- CSR channel sounding response
- the transmitter analyzes the CSR and determines uplink channel response, estimates downlink channel response, and determines appropriate transmit parameter settings based on the analysis and downlink response estimate. Adjustment of the transmit parameters can be made in either the MAC or PHY layer or in a combination of both.
- the transmitter After adjusting its transmit parameters and modulating sub-carriers with user-data according to the determined transmit settings, the transmitter transmits the user-data to the receiver on a preferred portion of bandwidth.
- the transmitter also generates and transmits a transmit format control (TFC) signal containing the determined transmit parameter settings, including sub-carrier modulation information, to the receiver.
- TFC transmit format control
- Figure 1 is a flow diagram illustrating a channel sounding scheme for improving system performance in Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO)
- MIMO Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output
- Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems OFDM
- Figure 2 is a MIMO-OFDM transmitter-receiver pair configured to use channel sounding pulses to improve system performance
- FIG. 3 is MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system wherein a base station and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) each comprise a transmitter-receiver pair in accordance with the present invention.
- WTRU wireless transmit/receive unit
- a wireless transmit/receive unit includes but is not limited to a user equipment, mobile station, fixed or mobile subscriber unit, pager, or any other type of device capable of operating in a wireless environment.
- a base station includes but is not limited to a Node-B, site controller, access point or any other type of interfacing device in a wireless environment.
- channel sounding pulses are used for improving channel and system performance in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems utilizing Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) equipment.
- the sounding pulses enable MIMO-OFDM transmitters, for instance, to assess current channel conditions and hence, to format transmit data packets that optimize throughput in view of the channel conditions.
- a MIMO-OFDM transmitter generates and transmits a low rate signal, such as a request for a sounding pulse (CSRq) to an intended receiver. Upon receiving this request, the receiver generates a channel sounding response (CSR) and transmits it to the requesting transmitter.
- CSRq sounding pulse
- CSR channel sounding response
- This CSR is preferably a short burst formatted with predetermined transmit parameters that assure its successful reception given the particular system configuration and environment. Included in the CSR is information known to the transmitter.
- the transmitter upon receiving the CSR, processes the information and determines current channel conditions. Based on these determinations, the transmitter modulates user data to sub-carriers and adjusts its transmit parameters to maximize channel capacity, reliability, and/or any other channel performance characteristic as required by a user, using any of the various channel optimization techniques including water-filling and power control.
- Utilizing CSR pulses to assess channel conditions, rather than conventional feedback signals, enables the transmitter to format and transmit data packets that optimize channel performance without incurring all of the overhead and delay of conventional channel-improvement approaches.
- a transmitter Prior to transmitting data, a transmitter generates a channel sounding response request in the form of a low rate signal and transmits it to a receiver (step 102).
- This request is preferably a low data rate signal, such as a data packet header, containing source (i.e., transmitter) and destination (i.e., intended receiver) information.
- the receiver Upon receiving and processing the low rate signal (step 104), the receiver generates and transmits a predefined channel sounding response (CSR) (step 106), preferably as a short burst or pulse, to the transmitter.
- CSR channel sounding response
- the CSR is preferably predefined in terms of its size, number of symbols, amplitude, etc., to assure successful reception at the transmitter given the particular system configuration and/or the receiver's allocated resources. Included in the CSR is information the transmitter may use in assessing current channel conditions.
- the CSR is received and information transmitted as part of the CSR is processed (step 108) and utilized to characterize the current channel conditions (step 110).
- This characterization includes determining uplink channel response via measuring the amplitude, phase, and quality of each received sub-carrier at each antenna; and estimating downlink channel response. If a particular sub-carrier indicates a high error rate, for instance, the transmitter will not modulate that sub-carrier with large amounts of data. Conversely, if a particular sub-carrier arrives at the transmitter with a relatively low error rate, the transmitter will more heavily modulate that sub-carrier with user data.
- the transmitter determines appropriate transmit parameter settings (step 112), (e.g., antenna selection, antenna power, bandwidth selection, earner power, carrier coding, carrier modulation, etc.), makes the appropriate parameter adjustments (step 114), and accordingly modulates its sub-carriers (step 116), preferably using a water-filling, power control, or similar technique. It should be noted that the parameter adjustments may occur in the MAC layer, in the PHY layer, or in a combination of the two.
- the formatted data packets are then transmitted on select portion of bandwidth to the receiver (step 118).
- the transmitter tracks the channel performance estimates derived from current and previous CSR measurements (step 112a), enabling the transmitter to predict future channel conditions for use in optimizing the channel performance of future data transmissions.
- the overall channel performance of a communication link remains relatively static even though the performance of a particular sub-carrier and/or antenna pair may change quite rapidly. This is particularly true if the communication link has sufficient bandwidth and spatial diversity. Accordingly, the size of the transmitted data packets may be fixed, leaving only the encoding parameters to be adjusted, which can occur in near real time based on received CSRs. Transmitting fixed-sized data packets greatly simplifies the MAC layer's complexity. There is, however, some added complexity required in the PHY layer, particularly if the PHY layer is configured to determine and implement the final encoding scheme
- the transmitter may optionally generate and send a transmit format control (TFC) signal to the receiver (step 120).
- TFC transmit format control
- This TFC signal includes information regarding the transmit parameter settings and identifies which sub- carriers have been modulated by which modulation schemes (e.g., QPSK, 16 QAM, 256 QAM, etc.), and/or which coding types and data rates have been used. Providing this type of information to the receiver as part of the TFC signal is an enhancement which simplifies overall receiver decoding complexity.
- the receiver may determine TFC information on its own via a trial and error method, hereinafter referred to as "blind TFC detection”.
- blind TFC detection the transmitter and/or receiver may monitor CSR signals emitted by other receiver(s) in the system, assess the communication link between themselves and the receiver(s) emitting the CSRs, and maintain a history of these channel conditions for use in future communications with that receiver.
- a MIMO-OFDM transmitter 202 and receiver 204 configured in accordance with the present invention are shown. Included in the transmitter 202 is a channel sounding signal processor 201 for generating low rate sounding request signals, for processing received channel sounding response signals, and preferably, for assessing channel conditions of a communication link between itself and receivers. In addition, the transmitter

- the transmitter 202 and the l'eceiver 204 shown in Figure 2 are hereinafter described as separate devices operating independently in a MIMO-OFDM system. It should be understood, however, that these devices 202, 204 are preferably configured to co ⁇ exist as inter-related components of a single MIMO-OFDM network device, such as a base station or a WTRU, as shown in Figure 3.
- the MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system 300 of Figure 3 comprises a base station 301 and WTRU 302 communicating over a wireless interface, and an RNC 250 for controlling the base station 301.
- both the base station 301 and WTRU comprise a transmitter 202 - receiver 204 pair configured in accordance with the present invention.
- a low rate channel sounding request signal is generated in the channel sounding signal processor 201.
- This sounding request is then passed to the transmit antennas 207i, 2072,...207 n for transmission to the receiver 204 via a wireless interface.
- the receiver 204 Upon receiving the low rate request, the receiver 204 processes the request and generates a channel sounding response (CSR) in its channel sounding processor 211.
- the CSR is preferably a short burst formatted to assure reception at the transmitter 202 and includes information known to the transmitter 202 for use in assessing current channel conditions.
- the CSR is sent to the receiver's antennas 209i, 2092,...209 n for transmission to the transmitter 202.
- the CSR is then received at the transmitter 202 and processed in the transmitter's channel sounding processor 201.
- the channel sounding processor 201 analyzes the information transmitted as part of the CSR and uses this information to characterize current channel conditions in the uplink, and to estimate downlink channel response. These channel characterizations are then sent to the MAC layer processor 203 and/or to the PHY layer processor 205 where they are used to set data transmit parameters including: sub-carrier allocation, transmit antenna allocation, sub-carrier transmit power, transmit antenna power, sub-carrier coding, bandwidth selection, etc.
- the transmitter 202 may comprise a separate processor (not shown) configured to operate as a bandwidth selection unit.
- the PHY layer processor 205 then formats the transmit data packets, modulates the various sub-carriers (not shown) with user data, and maps the modulated sub-carriers to the transmit/receive antennas 207i, 2072,...207 n , using a channel capacity optimization scheme, such as water- filling, a channel reliability optimization scheme, or any other channel performance optimizing scheme in accordance with the transmit parameter settings.
- the formatted data packets are sent to the transmit/receive antennas 207i, 207s, ...207 n for transmission to the receiver 204 using preferred portions of the bandwidth.
- the transmitter 202 maintains a history of channel condition estimates for use in optimally transmitting future data packets.
- the optional TFC processor 206 Prior to, after, or in parallel with transmitting the formatted data packets, the optional TFC processor 206 generates and transmits a TFC signal via the transmit/receive antennas 207i, 2072,...207 n over the wireless interface.
- This TFC signal indicates to the receiver 204 the transmit parameter settings of the transmitted data packets and identifies the location (i.e., on which sub- carriers the data bits are being transmitted), the coding schemes and the modulation schemes (e.g., QPSK, 16 QAM, etc.) used for the transmitted data packets.
- the receiver 204 receives the TFC signal and processes it in its optional TFC processor 213.
- This TFC processor 213 extracts the formatting and modulation information from the TFC signal and sends it to the data packet processor 215 for use in decoding and demodulating received data packets. Otherwise, if a TFC signal is not successfully detected by the receiver 204, the TFC processor 213 gathers available TFC information using a blind detection-type process.
- the transmitter To further improve system capacity and efficiency, the transmitter
- the 202 and receiver 204 can monitor the CSRs generated by other receivers (not shown) using their respective signal monitoring processors 208, 217 and thereafter, assess and estimate the channel conditions between themselves and the other receiver(s).
- their respective channel sounding processors 201, 211 may be configured to perform these channel assessments and estimates.
- the transmitter 202 and receiver 204 may each comprise additional processors (not shown) configured to function as a signal analyzer that assesses uplink channel conditions and as an estimator for estimating downlink channel conditions based on the channel assessments, respectively.
- This channel condition information may be utilized by both the transmitter 202 and receiver 204 to maintain a history of the channel conditions for use in determining transmit parameters of future communications with the receiver(s). This history may be stored in their respective memory components 210, 219.
- the transmitter 202 may reuse the transmit parameter settings, preferably stored in the optional memory component 210, as set by the MAC layer processor 203 and/or the PHY layer processor 205 for subsequent data transmissions such time that a future CSR indicates a change in channel conditions.
- the transmitter 202 may use historical results from previously received CSR(s), also stored in the optional memory component 210 or in a secondary memory component (not shown), to predict when a change in channel conditions will occur and at that time, adjust the transmit parameters accordingly.
- the receiver 204 may maintain a history of channel conditions in its optional memory component 219 for use in adjusting transmit parameters via its optional adjustment processor 221.
- the frequency at which a transmitter requests channel sounding information from a receiver depends on a variety of factors. Examples of such factors include, but are not limited to: system configuration, number of sub-carriers, number of spatial channels, volatility of the communication link, communication environment, and the like.
- a transmitter must request a CSR often enough to maintain accurate knowledge of the channel.
- a transmitter may begin by requesting CSRs at predetermined time intervals. As the transmitter begins to accumulate CSR data, the transmitter may use this data to estimate the rate at which channel conditions change and accordingly request CSRs according to the change frequency.
- the present invention may be implemented in any type of wireless communication system, as desired.
- the present invention may be implemented in any type of 802-type system, UMTS-FDD, UMTS-TDD, TDSCDMA, CDMA2000, OFDM-MIMO or any other type of wireless communication system.
