OFDM中结合延迟分集与空频编码的下行发射方案

正交空时／空频编码只有在发射天线数为2时才能进行满速率发射。当天线数大于2时,将循环延迟分集和空时编码相结合可在保持满速率发射的同时提高系统的性能,但是循环延迟分集和空频编码相结合却不能较好地提高系统性能。为此本文对循环延迟分集进行改进,将其和空频编码相结合在满速率发射的前提下仍能提高系统的频率分集增益。仿真结果表明,发射天线数大于2时,该方法提高了系统的分集增益,同时降低了误码率。

Multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme for multiple antenna systems

In this paper, a novel multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme is proposed to exploit transmit diversity in fading channels. In this scheme, a unique vector from a set of orthogonal vectors is assigned to each transmit antenna. Each of the output symbols from the multiple trellis encoder is multiplied with one of these orthogonal vectors and transmitted from corresponding transmit antennas. By correlating with corresponding orthogonal vectors, the receiver separates symbols transmitted from different transmit antennas. This scheme can be adopted in coherent/differential systems with any number of transmit antennas. It is shown that the proposed scheme encompasses the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation based on the optimal cyclic group codes as a special case. We also propose two better designs over the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The first design uses 8 Phase Shift Keying （8-PSK） constellations instead of 16 Phase Shift Keying （16-PSK） constellations in the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. As a result, the product distance of this new design is much larger than that of the conventional trellis coded unitary space-time modulation. The second design introduces constellations with multiple levels of amplitudes into the design of the multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit scheme. For both designs, simulations show that multiple trellis coded orthogonal transmit schemes can achieve better performance than the conventional trellis coded unitarv space-time schemes.     

Concatenated space-time block coding with trellis coded modulation in fading channels

Trellis coded modulation (TCM) is a bandwidth efficient transmission scheme that can achieve high coding gain by integrating coding and modulation. This paper presents an analytical expression for the error event probability of concatenated space-time block coding with TCM which reveals some dominant factors affecting the system performance over slow fading channels when perfect interleavers are used. This leads to establishing the design criteria for constructing the optimal trellis codes of such a concatenated system over slow flat fading channels. Through simulation, significant performance improvement is shown to be obtained by concatenating the interleaved streams of these codes with space-time block codes over fading channels. Simulation results also demonstrate that these trellis codes have better error performance than traditional codes designed for single-antenna Gaussian or fading channels. Performance results over quasi-static fading channels without interleaving are also compared in this paper. Furthermore, it is shown that concatenated space-time block coding with TCM (with/without interleaving) outperforms space-time trellis codes under the same spectral efficiency, trellis complexity, and signal constellation.     

On Trellis Coded Noncoherent Space-Time Modulation

Unitary space-time modulation (USTM) is well-tailored for noncoherent space-time modulation. Trellis coded USTM (TC-USTM) can obtain significant coding gains over uncoded USTM for the noncoherent block fading channel. Conventional TC-USTM schemes expand the signal set of uncoded USTM by a factor of two. In this letter, we propose a new TC-USTM scheme in which the size of USTM set is not limited to be just double for uncoded USTM. However, in TC-USTM schemes, because signals of the same trellis branch are transmitted over the same fading coefficients, one trellis branch can only obtain one temporal diversity. In this letter, we also propose a new trellis coded noncoherent space-time modulation scheme by interleaving space-time signals. The proposed scheme can enlarge temporal diversity at the price of increased complexity and delay. Simulation results demonstrate the excellent error performances of codes found by computer searches for both schemes.     

Concatenated multilevel block coded modulation

Encoding and decoding schemes for concatenated multilevel block codes are presented. By one of these structures, a real coding gain of 5.6-7.4 dB for the bit error range of 10^-6 to 10^-9 is achieved for transmission through the additive white Gaussian noise channel. Also, a rather large asymptotic coding gain is obtained. The new coding schemes have very low decoding complexity and increased coding gain in comparison with the conventional block and trellis coded modulation structures. A few design rules for concatenated (single and) multilevel block codes with large coding gain are also provided     

Enhanced space-time block coded systems by concatenating turbo product codes

The BER performance of a turbo product code (TPC) based space-time block coding (STBC) wireless system has been investigated. With the proposed system, both the good error correcting capability of TPC and the concurrent large diversity gain characteristic of STBC can be achieved. The BER upper bound has been derived taking BPSK modulation as an example. The simulation results show that the proposed system with the concatenated codes outperforms the one with only TPC or STBC and other reported schemes that concatenate STBC with convolutional Turbo codes or trellis codes.     

Performance evaluation of super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes using a moment generating function-based approach

A new class of space-time codes called super-orthogonal trellis codes was introduced that combine set-partitioning with a super set of orthogonal space-time block codes in such a way as to provide full diversity with increased rate and improved coding gain over previous space-time trellis code (STTC) constructions. Here, we extend the moment generating function-based method, which was previously applied to analyzing the performance of space-time block orthogonal and trellis codes, to the above-mentioned super-orthogonal codes. It is shown that the maximum-likelihood metric and expressions for the pairwise error probability previously developed for the Alamouti (1998) space-time block code combined with multidimensional trellis-coded modulation can be readily extended to the super-orthogonal case. As such, the evaluation of the pairwise error probability for the latter can be performed in a similar manner to that previously described with the specific results depending on the particular trellis code design.     

Performance of concatenated channel codes and orthogonal space-time block codes

In this paper we analyze the performance of an important class of MIMO systems that of orthogonal space-time block codes concatenated with channel coding. This system configuration has an attractive combination of simplicity and performance. We study this system under spatially independent fading as well as correlated fading that may arise from the proximity of transmit or receive antennas or unfavorable scattering conditions. We consider the effects of time correlation and present a general analysis for the case where both spatial and temporal correlations exist in the system. We present simulation results for a variety of channel codes, including convolutional codes, turbo codes, trellis coded modulation (TCM), and multiple trellis coded modulation (MTCM), under quasi-static and block-fading Rayleigh as well as Rician fading. Simulations verify the validity of our analysis.     

LOW RATE SPACE-TIME TRELLIS CODES INPOWER LIMITED WIRELESSCOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Space-time trellis codes can achieve the best tradeoff among bandwidth efficiency, diversity gain, constellation size and trellis complexity. In this paper, some optimum low rate space-time trellis codes are proposed. Performance analysis and simulation show that the low rate space-time trellis codes outperform space-time block codes concatenated with convolutional code at the same bandwidth efficiency, and are more suitable for the power limited wireless communication system.
