Description

一种空时编解码方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种空时编解码方法和 装置。 发明背景
随着无线通信技术的发展,对无线通信系统的通信质量和传输速 率提出了更高的要求。 在无线通信系统中, 时间和频率资源有限, 因 此产生了多天线系统 ( MIMO, Multiple Input Multiple Output ) , 其 具有优越的信道容量性能, 从而受到广泛的关注。
在 MIMO系统中, 通常采用分集技术实现更好的信号传输质量。 但是, 由于移动终端的体积的受到限制, 没有足够的空间设置多个天 线以保证通信信道的独立性, 使得下行信道中无法实现接收分集。 由 于基站具有多天线处理能力, 在多天线无线通信系统中, 通常由空时 编码技术实现发射分集。
目前, STBC (空时分块编码) 以其较低的实现复杂度, 成为实 现发射分集的主流技术。
但是, 使用现有的 STBC算法时, 系统的误码率仍然较高, 导致 系统的接收性能较差, 限制了多天线无线通信系统的发展。
另外, 当系统中待传输的发射信号是两个或两个以上的复数时, 系统的传输速率较低。
以两天线的 STBC为例, 该算法的发射信号矩阵为:
χι), 其中, ^和 ^分别表示基站两个待传输的发射信号, *表示共轭运算。
该算法的系统结构如图 1所示, 下面对该算法的具体实现进行说 明。
在时刻 1 , 基站的天线 1和天线 2分别向移动终端发射 和 ·¾ , 此 时, 移动终端的接收信号为:
在时刻 2, 基站的天线 1和天线 2分别向移动终端发射- 和 , 此 时, 移动终端的接收信号为:
其中, 和 分别表示基站上的天线 1和天线 2到移动终端的平坦衰落 信道参数,即信道状态信息, 和 分别表示移动终端在时刻 m(m = l,2) 接收到的信号和加性高斯 (Gaussian ) 白噪声。
接收端对被检测信号 和 的计算分别如下:
K ;
= ^h _
最后,移动终端可以利用最大似然准则对基站所发射的两个原始 信号 和¾分别进行检测判决 (detection ) 。
下面以四发射天线的系统为例, 对 STBC算法的实现方式进行说 明。 这时, 系统的发射矩阵结构为: JC^ "^ ,
JC^ "^"3 其中, 四个待传

输的发射信号, *表示共轭运算。
具体来说, 移动终端在相邻 8个时刻对应的接收信号如下: rx = xx + h2x2 + ^^+^^+^ι '

其中, 表示基站上的天线 m(m = 1,2,3,4)到移动终端的平坦衰落信道 数, rm和 nm分别表示移动终端在时刻 m(m = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)接收到的信号 和力口性 Gaussian白噪声;
四发射天线系统对于被检 'J信号 的计算分别为: χλ— νγ^ h2r2 + h r + h4r4 + r5 + h2r6 + h r7 + h4rs
x2 = h2rx— r2 h4r3 + h3r4 + h2r5 ― rk h4r7 + h3rs
x3 = }ι^νγ + h:r2 h*r3 h*r4 + h3 r5* + h4r: h2r^;
x4 =—h^ h r2 + h r3 h^r4 h4r h3r: + h2r; 。 不难看出, 当待传输的发射信号为复数信号时, 如果发射天线数 目多于两个, 则系统的等效传输速率只能达到单天线系统(SISO )系 统传输速率的一半, 降低了 MIMO系统的等效传输速率。
可见, 使用现有的 STBC算法时, 系统的误码率较高。 另外, 当 系统中的待传输的发射信号是两个或两个以上的复数时, 系统的传输 速率较低。 发明内容 本发明实施例提供了一种多天线无线通信系统中的空时编解码 方法及装置, 可以降低系统的误码率。

由上述技术方案可以看出, 在本发明实施例中, 利用发射端获取 的信道状态信息, 对待传输的发射信号进行空时编码, 降低了系统的 误码率, 提高了系统的误码性能。
另外, 本发明实施例利用发射端获取的信道状态信息, 对待传输 的发射信号进行空时编码, 避免了对待传输的发射信号进行共轭运 算, 当待传输的发射信号为两个或两个以上的复数信号时, 显著的提 高了系统的传输速率。 附图简要说明

其中, ^为发射端的第 m(m = 1,2, · · · , M)个发射天线到接收端的平坦 衰落信道参数,作为信道状态信息。上述矩阵均满足最大比合并原则。
步骤 203 : 将正交矩阵 X左乘系数矩阵, 使正交矩阵中的各个元 素与其对应的系数矩阵中的元素相乘, 生成发射信号矩阵。 在本实施 例中, 发射信号矩阵为:
Figure imgf000009_0001
其中, 发射信号矩阵中的行对应同一时刻 M个发射天线上发射的 信号, 发射信号矩阵中的列对应同一发射天线在相邻 M个时刻发射的 信号。
步骤 204: 根据发射信号矩阵, 进行信号发射。
M个发射天线在 M个相邻的时刻分别将发射信号矩阵中的信号发 送到无线信道。 其中, 不同发射天线上所发射的信号依次对应发射信 号矩阵中的行中的不同元素; 同一发射天线在相邻时刻所发射的信号 依次对应发射信号矩阵的列中的元素。
在本发明实施例中, 可以预先对待传输的发射信号进行分组, 形 成待发射信号组, 进而针对每个待发射信号组进行空时编码操作。
接收端接收到发射信号后执行下述步骤。
步骤 205: 获取接收信号, 根据接收端已知的信道状态信息以及发 射信号矩阵具有的正交性, 对 M个相邻时刻的接收信号进行加权合并。
在本实施例中, 可以根据信道状态信息, 利用最大比合并的原则 计算接收信号的加权系数, 之后, 利用加权系数及发射信号矩阵的正 交性对接收信号进行加权合并。
步骤 206: 对加权合并后的接收信号分别进行检测判决, 获取与 接收信号对应的发射信号的估计值。
在本发明实施例中, 接收端同时接收来自发射端的训练序列, 用 于估计信道状态信息, 并将信道状态信息反馈给发射端。
下面分别以发射天线数目不同的系统为例,分别对本发明实施例 的最佳实施方式进行描述。
实施例一: 系统设置两发射天线, 接收端为单天线移动终端。 根据图 2所示实施例中的发射信号矩阵, 当 M的值为 2 , 即两发射 天线系统中的发射信号矩阵如下:

其中, 、 23、 x4分另 ll表示四个待传输的发射信号, hm表示 基站的第 m (m = 1,2,3,4)个发射天线到接收端的平坦衰落信道参 数, 即信道状态信息。
该发射信号矩阵中每一行的 4个元素分别对应于在该行对应的时 刻 4个发射天线上发射的信号,发射信号矩阵中的每一列的 4个元素分 别对应于该列对应的发射天线在相邻 4个时刻发射的信号。
这样一来, 移动终端在相邻四个时刻的接收信号分别如下:
Figure imgf000012_0002
其中, r\、 r2、 r3、 r4和/ ^、 "2、 n3、 "4分另 ll表示移动终端在时刻 1 时刻 2、 时刻 3、 时刻 4接收到的信号和加性 Gaussian白噪声。
在移动终端中, 对接收信号进行加权合并, 得到信号 、 χ2. χ3
Figure imgf000013_0001
最后, 移动终端可以利用最大似然准则对 _¾、 _¾和 分别进 行检测判决, 得到来自发射天线的四个发射信号的估计值。
图 4示出了本发明实施例应用于四发射天线系统的实施例的误码 率仿真结果, 如图 4所示, 虚线表示现有 STBC算法在四发射天线系统 中的误码率性能,实线表示本发明实施例在四发射天线系统中的误码 率性能。 从图 4可以看出, 在四发射天线系统中, 本发明实施例提供 的空时编码方案与传统的 STBC算法相比, 其信噪比增益约为 2dB。也 就是说, 在误码率相同的情况下, 本发明实施例较之 STBC算法, 节 约了约 2dB的发射功率, 在发射功率相同的条件下, 本发明实施例提 供的方法具有较低的误码率。
实施例三: 系统设置八发射天线, 接收端为单天线移动终端 根据图 2所示实施例中的发射信号矩阵, 当 M的值为 8, 即八发射 天线系统中的发射信号矩阵如下:
Figure imgf000014_0001
其中, 分别表示八个待传输的 发射信号, ^表示基站的第 m(m = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)个发射天线到接收端 的平坦衰落信道参数, 即信道状态信息。
该发射信号矩阵中每一行的 8个元素分别对应于在该行对应的时 刻 8个发射天线上发射的信号,发射信号矩阵中每一列的 8个元素分别 对应于该列对应的发射天线在相邻 8个时刻发射的信号。
在本实施例的八天线系统中, 移动终端在八个时刻的接收信号, 以及移动终端获得的来自发射天线的八个发射信号的估计值均可以 依据之前描述的两发射天线系统和四发射天线系统的处理方式类推 获得, 故不再赘述。
