Definitions

  • the present invention relates to wireless mobile communication, and particularly to a transmission method and apparatus for multi-antenna retransmission.
  • HARQ is an error control technique also known as Hybrid Automatic Repeat request, the purpose of which is to guarantee information reliability.
  • a receiving end firstly performs forward error correction (FEC). If correct modulation still cannot be implemented, a transmitting end is required to retransmit data.
  • FEC forward error correction
  • the HARQ therefore avoids shortcomings that the FEC requires complicated decoding equipment and that information consistency is poor in Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and can set a bit error rate of the whole system to a very low level.
  • ARQ Automatic Repeat reQuest
  • Constellation Remapping also plays an important role in high order modulation HARQ.
  • M-QAM quadrature amplitude modulation
  • high order modulation itself is a type of unequal error protection modulation.
  • BER bit error rate
  • Inner points in the constellation have small energy and are susceptible to fading.
  • Bits that constitute these symbols have poor bit reliability.
  • bits that constitute outer points have good bit reliability.
  • CoRe is just intended to avoid the problem that some bits are always subject to fading. Constellation positions corresponding to respective symbols in retransmission are changed so that the bit reliability after demodulation and combination at the receiving end tends to be even and is improved as a whole, thereby improving system throughput.
  • a characteristic of multi-antenna space diversity should also be utilized in the CoRe. That is, if the second transmission is performed, after multi-antenna bit mapping, the same transmission bit is placed on a different antenna from that in the first transmission.
  • the first one consists in steps of adjusting, based on Table 1, the order of the bits to be sent, and adopting the same constellation in each transmission to modulate the bits and then send them.
  • the second one consists in firstly allocating the respective bits to respective antennas without the need to adjust the order of the bits, wherein such adjustment is performed by adjusting the constellation, wherein the constellation is adjusted based on bit mapping relationship between the two transmissions, and in adopting in each transmission a different constellation to modulate symbols and then send them.
  • the CoRe as described below applies to both of the approaches.
  • remapping version No.0 corresponds to the constellation mapping mode at the first transmission
  • remapping version No.1 corresponds to the constellation mapping mode at the second transmission.
  • the bit transmitted by an antenna 1 is b 0 b 1
  • the bit transmitted by an antenna 2 is b 2 b 3 .
  • the antenna 1 transmits b 3 b 2 whose order is opposite to that of the bits sent by the antenna 2 in the first transmission
  • the antenna 2 transmits b 1 b 0 and maps it, according to Fig.1, in the order of b 1 b 0 whose order is opposite to that of the bits sent by the antenna 1 in the first transmission.
  • a transmission method for multi-antenna retransmission comprising steps of:
  • a transmission device for multi-antenna retransmission comprising:
  • a constellation remapping bit generator for generating the bits to be transmitted by respective antennas
  • a constellation remapping modulator for mapping the adjusted bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas into symbols
  • the vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas is multiplied by a constant, wherein the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas, and the orthogonal symbols are transmitted.
  • the remapped symbols transmitted by the respective antennas and the symbols previously transmitted by the respective antennas constitute a matrix.
  • This matrix has an orthogonal property.
  • the orthogonal property can be used to effectively detect signals.
  • the method has a reception algorithm with low complexity and brings about significant performance gains over conventional methods.
  • the present invention provides a structure of multi-antenna CoRe, which has following features: performing CoRe on a set of bits for transmission, remapping the bits transmitted by respective antennas in the n th transmission to obtain a symbol row vector, multiplying this row vector by a coefficient, and then placing the multiplication result as the n th row of a matrix, wherein the matrix thus constructed has an orthogonal property.

  • the orthogonal symbols are transmitted.
  • the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the multiple antennas may be the vector constituted by the symbols transmitted by the multiple antennas in the previous transmission.
  • the previous transmission refers to a transmission which is temporally prior to the present transmission by one or more transmissions.
  • the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the plurality of antennas is the matrix constituted by the symbol vectors transmitted by multiple antennas in the previous N transmissions.

If the meathod of adjusting the order of the allocated bits is adopted and the adjusted bits are mapped, the same constellation is adopted in respective transmissions. If the meathod of adjusting constellation bit mapping is adopted, the constellation needs to be reconstructed.
  • a method for reconstructing the constellation is shown in Fig.4, comprising: firstly 401 finding an antenna k that transmits the same bit in the first transmission as that transmitted by an antenna j in the i th transmission, and then 402 reconfiguring the constellation based on relationship between the antenna j in the i th transmission and the antenna k in the first transmission to obtain a mapping graph.
  • the processing of reconstruction consists in adjusting the order of constellation bits or performing a reverse operation on the constellation bits.
  • QPSK is used as an example to explain the constellation reconstruction.
  • the mapping for QPSK is shown in Fig.5.
  • the mapping order of bits is i 0 i 1 , where i 0 being 0 and 1 respectively corresponds to a constellation point in the right half plane and in the left half plane and i 1 being 0 and 1 respectively corresponds to a constellation point in the upper half plane and in the lower half plane. It is assumed that in the CoRe rules the bits transmitted by the antenna k in the first transmission are b 0 b 1 and the bits transmitted by the antenna j in the i th transmission are b 0 . Then, after the constellation reconstruction, the mapping order of the constellation bits is , where the upperline denotes reversion. The constellation as shown in Fig.6 is thus obtained.

  • the construction method comprises firstly 901 finding, by a CoRe bit matcher, an antenna k that transmits the same bit in the first transmission as that transmitted by an antenna j in the i th transmission, and then 902 reconfiguring the constellation, by a constellation reconstructor, based on relationship between the antenna j in the i th transmission and the antenna k in the first transmission to obtain a mapping graph.

Description

TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MULTI-ANTENNA RETRANSMISSION
The present invention relates to wireless mobile communication, and particularly to a transmission method and apparatus for multi-antenna retransmission.
HARQ is an error control technique also known as Hybrid Automatic Repeat request, the purpose of which is to guarantee information reliability. In the HARQ, a receiving end firstly performs forward error correction (FEC). If correct modulation still cannot be implemented, a transmitting end is required to retransmit data. The HARQ therefore avoids shortcomings that the FEC requires complicated decoding equipment and that information consistency is poor in Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and can set a bit error rate of the whole system to a very low level.
Constellation Remapping (CoRe) also plays an important role in high order modulation HARQ. In order not to increase a bandwidth and thereby to increase a data transmission rate, Mth-order quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) solutions are often adopted in a mobile communication system. However, high order modulation itself is a type of unequal error protection modulation. For M>4, respective bits mapped onto M-QAM symbols have different performances of bit error rate (BER). Inner points in the constellation have small energy and are susceptible to fading. Bits that constitute these symbols have poor bit reliability. In contrast, bits that constitute outer points have good bit reliability. CoRe is just intended to avoid the problem that some bits are always subject to fading. Constellation positions corresponding to respective symbols in retransmission are changed so that the bit reliability after demodulation and combination at the receiving end tends to be even and is improved as a whole, thereby improving system throughput.
For a multi-antenna system, in addition to considering the bit reliability for the high order modulation, a characteristic of multi-antenna space diversity should also be utilized in the CoRe. That is, if the second transmission is performed, after multi-antenna bit mapping, the same transmission bit is placed on a different antenna from that in the first transmission.
We now explain this with two-antenna QPSK as an example. It is assumed that the bit sequence to be transmitted is b0b1b2b3 and constellation mappings at the first transmission and the retransmission are performed in accordance with Table 1.
There are 2 approaches for implementing this mapping method. The first one consists in steps of adjusting, based on Table 1, the order of the bits to be sent, and adopting the same constellation in each transmission to modulate the bits and then send them. The second one consists in firstly allocating the respective bits to respective antennas without the need to adjust the order of the bits, wherein such adjustment is performed by adjusting the constellation, wherein the constellation is adjusted based on bit mapping relationship between the two transmissions, and in adopting in each transmission a different constellation to modulate symbols and then send them. The CoRe as described below applies to both of the approaches.
In Table 1, remapping version No.0 corresponds to the constellation mapping mode at the first transmission, and remapping version No.1 corresponds to the constellation mapping mode at the second transmission. In the first transmission, the bit transmitted by an antenna 1 is b0b1 and the bit transmitted by an antenna 2 is b2b3. In the second transmission, the antenna 1 transmits b3b2 whose order is opposite to that of the bits sent by the antenna 2 in the first transmission, and the antenna 2 transmits b1b0 and maps it, according to Fig.1, in the order of b1b0 whose order is opposite to that of the bits sent by the antenna 1 in the first transmission.

When the existing method is used for the multi-antenna remapping, only antenna diversity is taken into consideration. Through the CoRe, an antenna different from that used in the first transmission is employed to send the bits. In such CoRe, only diversity is considered, but signals are not constructed from the view of two dimensions of space and time.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmission method and apparatus for multi-antenna retransmission.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a transmission method for multi-antenna retransmission is provided, comprising steps of:
generating the bits to be transmitted by respective antennas;
mapping the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas into symbols; and
multiplying by a constant the vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas, wherein the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas, and transmitting the orthogonal symbols.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a transmission device for multi-antenna retransmission is provided, comprising:
an encoder for encoding information bits;
a constellation remapping bit generator for generating the bits to be transmitted by respective antennas;
a constellation remapping modulator for mapping the adjusted bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas into symbols; and
a symbol allocation and transmission unit for transmitting the mapped symbols,
wherein the vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas is multiplied by a constant, wherein the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas, and the orthogonal symbols are transmitted.
According to the method of the present invention, the remapped symbols transmitted by the respective antennas and the symbols previously transmitted by the respective antennas constitute a matrix. This matrix has an orthogonal property. The orthogonal property can be used to effectively detect signals. In addition, the method has a reception algorithm with low complexity and brings about significant performance gains over conventional methods.
The present invention provides a structure of multi-antenna CoRe, which has following features: performing CoRe on a set of bits for transmission, remapping the bits transmitted by respective antennas in the nth transmission to obtain a symbol row vector, multiplying this row vector by a coefficient, and then placing the multiplication result as the nth row of a matrix, wherein the matrix thus constructed has an orthogonal property.

One implementation method of the present invention is shown in Fig.1, comprising: 101 generating the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas and then 102 mapping the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas into symbols. The vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas is multiplied by a constant, and the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas. The orthogonal symbols are transmitted. The matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the multiple antennas may be the vector constituted by the symbols transmitted by the multiple antennas in the previous transmission. The previous transmission refers to a transmission which is temporally prior to the present transmission by one or more transmissions. The matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the plurality of antennas is the matrix constituted by the symbol vectors transmitted by multiple antennas in the previous N transmissions. The previous N transmissions refer to consecutive or inconsecutive N transmissions temporally prior to the present transmission. For example, for the 4th transmission, the previous N transmissions may refer to the 2 transmissions of the 1st and 3rd or to the 3 transmissions of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
101 Generation of the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas can be implemented by using two methods. A first method for generation is shown in Fig.2, comprising: 201 allocating to multiple antennas the bits to be transmitted, and then 202 adjusting the order of the allocated bits. A second method for generation is shown in Fig.3, comprising: 301 adjusting the order of bits, and then 302 allocating the adjusted bits to multiple antennas.
In the first method, adjusting the order of the bits comprises adjusting the order of the allocated bits or adjusting the order of constellation bit mapping. If the meathod of adjusting the order of the allocated bits is adopted and the adjusted bits are mapped, the same constellation is adopted in respective transmissions. If the meathod of adjusting constellation bit mapping is adopted, the constellation needs to be reconstructed.
A method for reconstructing the constellation is shown in Fig.4, comprising: firstly 401 finding an antenna k that transmits the same bit in the first transmission as that transmitted by an antenna j in the ith transmission, and then 402 reconfiguring the constellation based on relationship between the antenna j in the ith transmission and the antenna k in the first transmission to obtain a mapping graph. The processing of reconstruction consists in adjusting the order of constellation bits or performing a reverse operation on the constellation bits. Here, QPSK is used as an example to explain the constellation reconstruction. The mapping for QPSK is shown in Fig.5. The mapping order of bits is i0i1, where i0 being 0 and 1 respectively corresponds to a constellation point in the right half plane and in the left half plane and i1 being 0 and 1 respectively corresponds to a constellation point in the upper half plane and in the lower half plane. It is assumed that in the CoRe rules the bits transmitted by the antenna k in the first transmission are b0b1 and the bits transmitted by the antenna j in the ith transmission are

b0. Then, after the constellation reconstruction, the mapping order of the constellation bits is
Figure PCTKR2010002658-appb-I000002
, where the upperline denotes reversion. The constellation as shown in Fig.6 is thus obtained.
A device for implementing the present invention is shown in Fig.7, comprising: an encoder 701 for outputting the information bit sequence to be transmitted, a CoRe bit generator 702 for generating the bits to be transmitted by the respective antennas, a CoRe modulator 703 for mapping the bits generated by the respective antennas into symbols, and a symbol allocation and transmission unit 704 for allocating and transmitting the mapped symbols. The vector constituted by the mapped symbols transmitted by multiple antennas is multiplied by a constant, and the resulting vector is orthogonal to the matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by multiple antennas. The orthogonal symbols are transmitted. The matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the multiple antennas is the vector constituted by the symbols transmitted by the multiple antennas in the previous transmission. The previous transmission refers to a transmission which is temporally prior to the present transmission by one or more transmissions. The matrix constituted by the symbols previously transmitted by the multiple antennas is the matrix constituted by the symbol vectors transmitted by multiple antennas in the previous N transmissions. The previous N transmissions can be consecutive or inconsecutive N transmissions temporally prior to the present transmission. The module 702 can be implemented by the following two types of devices.
A first device for generation is shown in Fig.8, comprises: a CoRe bit allocator 801 for allocating to the respective antennas the bits to be transmitted and a CoRe bit interleaver 802 for adjusting the order of the bits, wherein the step of adjusting comprises adjusting the order of the allocated bits or adjusting the order of constellation bit mapping. If the measure of adjusting the order of the allocated bits is adopted and the adjusted bits are mapped, the same constellation is adopted in respective transmissions. If the measure of adjusting constellation bit mapping is adopted, a construction method is shown in Fig.9. The construction method comprises firstly 901 finding, by a CoRe bit matcher, an antenna k that transmits the same bit in the first transmission as that transmitted by an antenna j in the ith transmission, and then 902 reconfiguring the constellation, by a constellation reconstructor, based on relationship between the antenna j in the ith transmission and the antenna k in the first transmission to obtain a mapping graph. The processing of reconstruction comprises adjusting the order of constellation bits or performing a reverse operation on the constellation bits.
A second device for generation is shown in Fig.10, comprises: 1001 adjusting, by the CoRe bit interleaver, the order of the bits and 1002 allocating, by the CoRe bit allocator, to the respective antennas the bits to be transmitted.
