Description

DESCRIPTION
DETECTING APPARATUS AND METHOD IN MIMO SYSTEM
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a detecting apparatus and method in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system; and, more particularly, to a detecting apparatus that maintains desired system performance and decreases the amount of computation for decoding received signals in a MIMO system which transmits and receives a plurality of symbols simultaneously by using multiple antennas and a method thereof.
BACKGROUND ART
Generally, mobile communication terminals have a limited capacity of battery. As the amount of computation is increased, power consumption is increased, thus the amount of computation should be decreased.
Detecting methods in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system are studied similarly as multiple-user detecting methods of a Code Division Multiplexing Access (CDMA) . The detecting methods include a zero forcing (ZF) method based on channel inverse matrix, and minimum mean-squared estimate (MMSE) method considering noise amplification in the ZF method. The ZF method and the MMSE method are linear detecting method. The linear detecting methods have the small amount of computation and can be easily implemented, but performance is not better than other detecting methods.
A maximum likelihood (ML) method calculates cost functions with respect to all combinations of transmission symbols and selects a combination having a minimum cost function. Complexity of the ML method is increased according to the number of constellation dots based on a modulation method and the number of transmitting antennas. Also, a sphere decoding (SD) method has similar performance as the ML method, but the amount of computation is very large. Thus, the SD method cannot be implemented in a real system.
A hybrid probabilistic data association (PDA) -sphere decoding (SD) method is proposed in an article by L. Georgios and S Nicholas, entitled "A hybrid probabilistic data association-sphere decoding detector for multiple-input- multiple-output systems.", IEEE signal processing letters, Vol. 12, No. 4, pp. 309-312, April 2005. The first step of the PDA-SD method is to reduce the dimension of the vector decoded in SD by first running a single stage of the PDA. Herein, a bit to be decoded among the received vectors is decoded by values of rest bits based on a probability equation in the PDA method. The second step of the PDA-SD method is to decode rest elements by applying the SD where the rest elements exclude the element decoded by the PDA.
The conventional PDA-SD method has the great amount of computation due to a repetitional calculation structure.
In Korean Patent No. 10-587457 assigned to ETRI, the same as the assigner of the present invention, a method for detecting a signal in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system having a zero forcing (ZF) detector and a maximum likelihood (ML) detector is disclosed.
Particularly, the detecting method recited in the Korean patent No. 10-587457 includes: a ZF detector for estimating a transmission signal through channel information in a received signal; a first candidate determining part for determining plural constellation dots, being adjacent to the output signal of the ZF detector, as the first candidates of each transmission antenna; a first ML detector for determining the first solution for the received signal from the combination of the first candidates; a second candidate determining part for determining plural constellation dots existing in the direction of the first solution in the output signal of the ZF detector as the second candidates of each transmission; and a second ML detector for detecting the received signal after determining the second solution for the received signal from the combination of the second candidates.
However, the detecting method, recited in the Korean patent No. 10-587457, examines the plural constellation dots, being adjacent to the output signal of the ZF detector.
Therefore, when one of the output signals of the ZF detector has bad performance, the adjacent constellation dots may have nothing to do with the transmission signal. That is, total performance can be seriously decreased.

BEST MODE FOR THE INVENTION The advantages, features and aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, which is set forth hereinafter, and thus the invention will be easily carried out by those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains. Also, when it is considered that detailed description on a related art may obscure the points of the present invention unnecessarily in describing the present invention, the description will not be provided herein. Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a detecting apparatus in a Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
The detecting apparatus includes a first detector 11, a candidate elements decision unit 12, a signal eliminator 13 and a second detector 14. In the present invention, the first detector 11 having a small amount of computation is used for decoding all elements of a received signal. The first detector 11 can be a less complexity detector such as a ZF detector or a MMSE detector.
The candidate elements decision unit 12 calculates instantaneous signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for each element decoded in the first detector 11 and compares the calculated instantaneous SINR and a threshold value. Then, the candidate elements decision unit 12 decides elements having instantaneous SINR value greater than the threshold value as candidate elements or elements having instantaneous SINR value smaller than the threshold value as candidate elements.
The signal eliminator 13 generates a signal with respect to the candidate elements based on an estimation vector and a channel value of the candidate elements decided in the candidate elements decision unit 12, and outputs a modified signal by eliminating the generated signal with respect to the candidate elements from an original received signal.
The second detector 14 applies a more precise detection method to the modified signal outputted from the signal eliminator 13 and estimates rest elements excluding the candidate elements. The second detector 14 is a more precise detector than the first detector 11 such as a SD detector or a ML detector.
The detecting apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail. Herein, the multiple-antenna system is assumed as a vertical bell-labs layered space time (V-BLAST) system in the present invention. That is, the number of the transmitting antennas is nτ, and the number of the receiving antennas is nR, where nτ is equal to or smaller than nR. Also, one burst includes L symbols, and the channel value does not change for L symbols. That is, variation of the cannel value for L symbols is very small and it can be ignored. Also, a receiving block has channel state information, but a transmitting block does not have the channel state information. Under the above assumptions, a complex received signal r can be expressed as the following Eq. 1.
Figure imgf000009_0001
ϊ\ ^2 ■" *2«rJ is a complex transmission signal vector having a dimension nτxl; r = [^ 72 ■■■ T2n J is a complex reception signal vector having a dimension nRxl; A is a complex channel matrix including complex channel values atJ as elements and has a dimension of nRxnT; n is a white Gaussian circularly symmetric noise having a dimension nRxl and variance 2σ2I, where I is a unit matrix; p denotes transmission power. Also, obstacles dispersing electric waves are infinite between the transmitting antennas and the receiving antennas in the channel state. Therefore, a real part and an imaginary part for each element a^ of the complex channel matrix have of which average value is 0, and variance is 1 Gaussian independent identically distribution.
For the vectors and the matrixes as defined above, each element can be divided into the real part and the imaginary part. Therefore, vectors and matrixes having only real parts can be defined as the following Eq. 2.
s=[Re(sr) Im(sr)]r
Figure imgf000009_0002
Herein, Re(-) denotes real parts of each element; Im denotes imaginary parts of each element; and {-)τ denotes a transpose matrix.
Eq. 1 can be expressed as the following Eq. 3 having real element values based on Eq. 2.
Figure imgf000010_0001
Herein, r has a dimension 2nRxl; H has a dimension 2nRx2nT; s has a dimension 2nτxl; and n has a dimension 2nRxl. Applying a sphere decoding (SD) to estimate s, needs a large amount of computation. Therefore, the first detector 11, which is comparatively simple, and the second detector 14, which is comparatively precise, are used to estimate s in the present invention. At first step, a detection of the received signal is performed based on the first detector 11. The first detector 11 can be the ZF detector or the MMSE detector having a smaller amount of computation than the SD.
Hereinafter, the MMSE detector will be described as the first detector. However, other detectors can be used as the first detector.
After the MMSE detector is applied to the received signal based on channel state information matrix H and an output signal s^^ of the MMSE detector is expressed as the following Eq. 4.

Herein, (•) denotes an inverse matrix. The output signal of the first detector is defined as the following Equation. W = [Refe} Re&} ••■ ReKJ Irnfe} Imfe} ••• Imkjr
The candidate elements decision unit 12 calculates the instantaneous SINR value for each element of a vector decoded in the first detector 11. The instantaneous SINR value can be acquired based on the following Eq. 5.

Herein, G means the MMSE detector.
The candidate elements decision unit 12 compares a threshold value with a SINRk value of each element with respect to decoded vector sMMSE of the MMSE detector acquired based on Eq. 5, and determines the number of elements λm' which are directly used in order to estimate transmission data based on the decoded vector of the MMSE detector. There are two methods for determining λm' . First, the number of elements having SINR value equal to or greater than the threshold value can be determined as λm' . On the other hand, the number of elements having SINR value equal to or smaller than the threshold value can be determined as λm' . The m elements which are directly used in order to estimate the transmission data based on the decoded vector of the MMSE detector as above description, are defined as sD , and rest elements are defined as s^ . The received signal r is expressed as the following Eq. 6.
Figure imgf000012_0001
The candidate elements decision unit 12 compares 0 and each of m elements which are directly used in order to estimate the transmission data based on the decoded vector of the MMSE detector and estimates sD .
The signal eliminator 13 receives the estimation value matrix sD for the m elements which are directly used in order to estimate the transmission data based on the decoded vector of the MMSE detector from the candidate elements decision unit 12, generates a signal with respect to sD based on channel value HD and sD , and outputs a modified signal by eliminating the generated signal from an original received signal.
Operation of the signal eliminator 13 can be expressed as the following Eq. 7.
rD =r-HDSo Eq- 7
When the sD is estimated to be close to sD , r^ has no component of sDas the following Eq. 8.
rD =r-HD§D=HDSZ)+n E(3- 8
The second detector 14 is a more precise detector than the first detector 11, e.g., the SD detector. The second detector 14 receives the modified signal from the signal eliminator 13 and performs the detection of the modified signal. The modified signal is acquired by eliminating the vector elements decoded in the first detector from the original received signal.
That is, the second detector 14 applies a more precise detection method such as the SD to the modified signal r^ and estimates s^ . A distance d between the decoded vector sMMSE of the first detector and received vector r can be defined and expressed as d = ||r-sMMSE| for determining an initial radius C of the SD. Also, a circular with a radius C considers a diagonal points on the constellation in order to
Figure imgf000013_0001
include at least one point on the constellation, where λa' is a predetermined value based on the modulation method. The initial radius C of the SD is determined as λ ' . Therefore, a first estimation value of elements with
Figure imgf000013_0002
respect to the decoded vector detected by the first detector and a second estimation value of rest elements detected by the second detector are combined and the final vector of the received signal is determined. Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a detecting method in the MIMO system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the detecting method in accordance with the present invention.
First, a decoding vector is generated by performing a first detection of a received signal based on a ZF detection algorithm or a MMSE detection algorithm having a small amount of computation than a SD detection algorithm at step SlOl.
Then, instantaneous signal-to-interference plus noise ratios (SINR) for each element of the decoding vector generated by the first detection are calculated, and the instantaneous SINRs are sorted according to descending order at step S102.
Then, a threshold value and a SINR value for each element of the decoding vector generated by the first detection are compared and the number of candidate elements λm' is determined for estimating a transmission data based on a first detection result at step S103. Herein, the number of candidate elements Λm' can be determined as elements having the instantaneous SINR value equal to or greater than the threshold value or determined as elements having the instantaneous SINR value equal to or smaller than the threshold value.
When the candidate elements for estimating the transmission data based on the first detection result are determined, a corresponding signal with respect to the m elements is generated at step S104.
Then, a modified signal is generated by eliminating the signal with respect to the m elements from an original received signal at step S105. Therefore, reset elements whose symbol is not estimated remain in the modified signal by eliminating the signal whose symbol is estimated by the first detection.
Then, a second detection of the modified signal is performed based on a more precise detection algorithm than the first detection algorithm and rest symbols are estimated at step S106.
Dimension of signal inputted to a SD detector can be decreased based on the first MMSE detector, so the amount of computation can be decreased. That is, as the dimension of the received signal increase, computation amount of the SD detector increases by geometric progression.
Figs. 4 and 5 represent bit error rate (BER) and amount of computation, respectively, when the MMSE detector is applied as the first detector and the SD detector is applied as the second detector in the detecting apparatus of the present invention.
Fig. 4 is a graph showing the BER of the present invention and the conventional MMSE detection method and the SD detection method when each threshold value is -2OdB, -1OdB, OdB, 2OdB, 5OdB and 6OdB, respectively. A y axis represents an average SNR value for the receiving antennas and an x-axis represents the BER. Herein, small BER of the x axis presents better performance. Fig. 5 is a graph showing the amount of computation for each case of Fig. 4. A y axis represents a measurement value of simulation execution time by second unit. As the measurement value is large, the amount of computation is large. Also, λMMSE+SD 4 element fixed' and 'MMSE+SD 2 element fixed' denote the number of element for estimating the transmission data based on the MMSE results fixed with 4 and 2, respectively, while the MMSE detector is applied as the first detector and the SD detector is applied as the second detector. λHybrid (I)' represents a result when the m elements determined by element having the instantaneous SINR value equal to or greater than the threshold value, and λHybrid (2)' represents a result when the m elements determined by element having the instantaneous SINR value equal to or smaller than the threshold value. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, as the threshold value increases, the BER is good but the amount of computation is increased in case of the λHybrid (1)'. On the other hand, as the threshold value decreases, the BER is bad but the amount of computation is decreased in case of the λHybrid (2)'. Also, the detection method of the present invention has always a smaller amount of computation than the SD detection method regardless of the magnitude of the threshold value as shown in Fig. 5.
The above described method according to the present invention can be embodied as a program and be stored on a computer readable recording medium. The computer readable recording medium is any data storage device that can store data which can be read by the computer system. The computer readable recording medium includes a read-only memory (ROM) , a random-access memory (RAM) , a CD-ROM, a floppy disk, a hard disk and an optical magnetic disk.
