Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
ITERATIVE RECEIVER AND METHOD FOR DETECTING TRANSMITTED
SIGNAL THEREOF
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an iterative receiver and a method for detecting a transmitted signal thereof.
This work was supported by the IT R&D program of MIC/IITA [2006-S-001- 01 , Development of adaptive radio access and transmission technologies for 4th generation mobile communications].
(b) Description of the Related Art
In a cellular mobile communication system, in order to overcome a service area limit and a subscriber capacity limit, the service area is divided into a plurality of small regions, that is, cells, and the same frequency bandwidth is used by two cells that are separated from each other so that the frequency may be reused spatially. In this instance, intercell interference is generated when the cell size is reduced so as to increase the subscriber capacity. Therefore, the receiver can accurately detect the signal by eliminating interference from the received signal. However, signal detection performance is deteriorated since the receiver cannot accurately estimate the interference.
Regarding prior art, to reduce the intercell interference, the techniqe of combining and detecting cell signals of a plurality of cells on the cell boundary using a maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD) scheme has been proposed .
However, since the Viterbi algorithm is used for the combination and
detection process, system complexity is exponentially increased in proportion to the entire number of users of the cells.
As another solution for the problem of calculation complexity, iterative receiver based on the turbo principle has been proposed. However, the proposal is not applicable when no channel information is given since the proposal assumes perfect channel estimation.
Further, to reduce the intercell interference, the techniqe of detecting linear multi-user has been proposed. However, it increases the complexity of operation since it calculates the number of multi-users or the inverse matrix having a dimension of a spread factor.
The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been made in an effort to provide an iterative receiver for improving performance of receiving signals from a transmitter, and a method for detecting the transmitted signals thereof.
In one aspect of the present invention, an iterative receiver includes: a signal detector for canceling interference estimated from a transmitted signal to which a soft decision process is applied from a received signal; a decoder for performing a channel decoding process by using the interference cancelled received signal; a soft decision unit for performing a soft decision process on the transmitted signal by using the channel decoded signal, and transmitting a resultant signal to the signal detector; a channel estimator for estimating a channel through which the transmitted signal is passed by using the soft decision applied
transmitted signal and the received signal; a covariance estimator for estimating covariance on the sum signal of the interference and noise by using the soft decision applied transmitted signal, the received signal, and the estimated channel; and a hard decision unit for determining the transmitted signal by using the signal output by the decoder.
In another aspect of the present invention, a method for an iterative receiver to detect a transmitted signal includes: canceling estimated interference from a received signal by using estimated channel information; channel decoding the transmitted signal by using the estimated interference cancelled received signal; performing a soft decision process on the transmitted signal by using the channel decoded signal; updating the estimated channel information by using the soft decision applied transmitted signal and the received signal; iterating the canceling, the channel decoding, the performing of the soft decision process, and the updating a predetermined number of times; and determining the transmitted signal from the channel decoded signal when the processes are iterated a predetermined number of times.

The antenna array 110 includes a plurality of receive antennas (112-1-112m), and receives a signal from a transmitter (not shown) and transmits the signal to the signal detector 120. The signal transmitted from a plurality of transmit antennas will be referred to as a transmitted signal, and the signal received through a plurality of receive antennas will be called a received signal.
The signal detector 120 cancels an interference signal from the received signal and suppresses the residual interference signal through a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) filter to detect and output a signal corresponding to a plurality of transmitted signals.
The decoder 130 calculates a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) by using the output signal of the signal detector 120, performs a channel decoding process by using the calculated LLR, and outputs a resultant signal.
The soft decision unit 140 performs a soft decision process on a plurality of transmitted signals by using the channel decoded signal output by the decoder 130.
The channel estimator 150 estimates the channel through which the transmitted signals are passed by using the transmitted signals to which the soft decision process is applied by the soft decision unit 140 and a received signal.
The covariance estimator 160 estimates the covariance on the summed signal of interference and noise by using the transmitted signals output by the soft decision unit 140, channel information estimated by the channel estimator 150, and the received signal.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a signal detector shown in FIG. 1 , and FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a decoder shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a soft decision unit shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 5 shows input and output signals of a channel estimator shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 6 shows input and output signals of a covariance estimator shown in FIG. 1. The antenna array 110 is illustrated to include ™r receive antennas. The transmitted signal is transmitted from one or more transmitters, and in this instance, it is assumed that the sum of the transmit antennas is -^s and the number of transmitted signals to be divided by the receiver 100 is ^t. Also, the transmit antenna is assumed to
