一种时空频分组码编码方案和检测算法

空时编码作为对抗多径衰落的有效方法，近年来已经成为热门研究领域。空时分组码(STBC)的正交设计可以在接收端进行线性最大比合并解码，实现了高编码增益、大分集度和低译码复杂度。这种空时分组码在单个载波多个不同天线和时间上编码，实现了空间和时间的分集，但并没有实现频率的分集，分集度有限。本文将单载波的STBC扩展到多个载波，提出了一种时、空、频分组码(STFBC)的编码方案。这种编码在相同的码速率下，实现了比STBC更大的分集度和更高的编码增益。给出了基于这种编码方案的两种检测算法一线性合并最大似然检测(MLD)算法和线性合并解相关检测(DD)算法。仿真结果表明这种时空频分组码的编码方法和检测算法较STBC具有更好的性能。

短波单载波空时分组码的频域均衡研究

短波通信受多径衰落、干扰复杂等影响严重。空时分组码(Space Time Block Code,STBC)技术在无需增加频谱资源和天线发射功率的前提下,可以利用多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)信道提供的分集增益提升传输可靠性。分析短波MIMO研究现状,提出短波单载波STBC频域均衡(Frequency-Domain Equalization,FDE)系统架构,针对短波信道引入的码间干扰研究MIMO MMSE-FDE均衡技术,并将单载波STBC频域均衡与时域均衡及短波现有波形进行仿真对比。仿真结果表明,相较于短波现有波形,单载波STBC频域均衡系统的可靠性有较大幅度提升,且性能与STBC时域均衡接近,但计算复杂度远低于STBC时域均衡。     

自适应算法在DSSS信号分集接收中的应用

分集接收技术由于能够获得分集增益,可提高多径信号的接收质量,因此在直接序列扩频系统中被广泛采用。常用的信号分集合并方法主要有选择性合并、等增益合并和最大比合并三种,其中最大比合并效果最佳,但需要准确地计算每路信号的信噪比,而采用自适应算法有效解决了准确计算信噪比的问题。因此,提出一种将RLS自适应算法与多径信号分集接收相结合的方法,它首先将接收到的多径信号分离为多路不同延时的信号,然后应用RLS自适应算法根据最小方差准则计算每一路信号的加权系数,通过对加权系数的更新获得最大分集增益,通过对不同的信号合并方式在多径信道下的性能进行仿真比较可知,采用RLS自适应算法的信号合并方式取得的性能最好。

On decoding algorithm and performance of space-time block codes

In this letter, we present a unified mathematical expression for the decoding algorithm of space-time block codes (STBC). Based on the unified expression, we make a comparison of the STBC transmit diversity and the maximal-ratio combining MRC receive diversity, and analyze the symbol error probability for the STBC transmissions. The effects of the channel correlation and the number of transmit and receive antennas on the performance of the STBC are discussed.     

On the nonexistence of rate-one generalized complex orthogonal designs

Orthogonal space-time block coding proposed recently by Alamouti (1998) and Tarokh et al. (1999) is a promising scheme for information transmission over Rayleigh-fading channels using multiple transmit antennas due to its favorable characteristics of having full transmit diversity and a decoupled maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding algorithm. Tarokh et al. extended the theory of classical orthogonal designs to the theory of generalized, real, or complex, linear processing orthogonal designs and then applied the theory of generalized orthogonal designs to construct space-time block codes (STBC) with the maximum possible diversity order while having a simple decoding algorithm for any given number of transmit and receive antennas. It has been known that the STBC constructed in this way can achieve the maximum possible rate of one for every number of transmit antennas using any arbitrary real constellation and for two transmit antennas using any arbitrary complex constellation. Contrary to this, in this correspondence we prove that there does not exist rate-one STBC from generalized complex linear processing orthogonal designs for more than two transmit antennas using any arbitrary complex constellation.

A general scheme for equalization of space-time block-coded systems with unknown CSI

Recently, space-time block codes (STBCs) have gained much attention as an effective transmit diversity technique to increase the capacity of wireless communication systems. In this paper, we consider a general technique for direct equalization of space-time block-coding systems with unknown channel state information (CSI). This technique is suitable for several existing hybrid STBC schemes, such as STBC/orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (STBC-OFDM) and STBC/code-division multiple access (STBC-CDMA). We show that by exploiting the redundancy in the structure of STBC, a zero-forcing equalizer can be constructed without channel estimation. The conditions for the identifiability of the zero-forcing equalizer are also derived to ensure correct equalization. To further improve the performance of the proposed method, a new iterative algorithm is developed by incorporating the finite alphabet property of information symbols. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms can outperform comparative schemes in most simulation conditions.     

Performance Analysis of Space-Time Block Codes with Transmit Antenna Selection in Nakagami-m Fading Channels

In this paper, multiple-input multiple-output systems employing space-time block codes (STBCs) with transmit antenna selection (TAS) are examined for flat Nakagami-m fading channels. Exact symbol error rate (SER) expressions for M-ary modulation techniques are derived by using the moment generating function based analysis method. In the SER analysis, the receiver is assumed to use maximal ratio combining whereas a subset of transmit antennas that maximizes the instantaneous received signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is selected for STBC transmission. The analytical SER results are validated by Monte Carlo simulations. By deriving upper and lower bounds for SER expressions, it is shown that TAS/STBC schemes achieve full diversity orders at high SNRs.     

Antenna selection with superposition for 4 x 2 DSTTD systems

From 1820 4 x 4 binary matrices, 253 binary preprocessing matrices are designed for double space-time transmit diversity (DSTTD) systems with two 2 x 2 space-time block code (STBC) encoders. Among them, six matrices yielding the highest average minimum-post-processing SNR are proposed from numerical experimentation under uncorrelated channel conditions. The proposed preprocessing performs a superposition of the first and second (second and first) STBC symbols and a selection of two transmit antennas. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides 1.7 dB (1.8 dB) SNR improvement in uncorrelated (correlated) channel environment at 10?3 bit error rate over the conventional antenna shuffling method.

Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal and Quasi-Orthogonal STBCs over Frequency-Selective Wireless and Power-Line Channels

In recent years, combination of single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) and space-time block coding/code (STBC) techniques to exploit the advantages of both, has received a great attention. In this paper we propose new techniques for combining SC-FDE with orthogonal and Quasi-orthogonal STBCs applicable to any number of transmit antennas. For Quasi-orthogonal STBC we first propose a new structure for codes with four transmit antennas and then extend it to higher numbers. We convert Quasi-orthogonal system to two equivalent orthogonal subsystems and equalize and decode these subsystems based on our proposed procedure for orthogonal codes. Finally, we present our simulation results for different frequency-selective wireless and power-line channels and show that a significant SNR gain is achieved when SC-FDE is combined with diversity techniques.     

Decision feedback detection with error compensation for hybrid space-time block codes

Spatial division multiplexing (SDM) techniques increase the total throughput by transmitting independent information streams through multiple transmit antennas whereas space time coding (STC) techniques utilize diversity gain. Hybrid space-time block code (STBC) schemes proposed combine the above two techniques to maximize the link performance. We propose a decision feedback detection method to improve the performance of the hybrid STBC scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). In this scheme, we take the error propagation effect into account to enhance the detection performance. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the conventional hybrid STBC detection algorithm by more than 3dB at 1% frame error rate for frequency selective fading channels.
