一种改进的准正交空时分组码设计方案

基于MIMO天线系统的空时编码技术是改善无线通信性能、提高带限系统数据速率的一种理想选择。但是由于正交空时分组码不能保证数据全速率传输,为此提出一种改进的准正交空时分组码设计方案。该编码方法利用准正交准则,能够保证数据以全速率传输。并在此基础上具体讨论和分析了编码的编、译码算法和误码性能。该编码方法既不降低分集增益也不增加译码复杂度,并且可以获得一定的编码增益。仿真结果表明,这种方法的误比特率无论在低信噪比还是在高信噪比条件下都要优于已有的准正交空时分组码——Jafarkhani码。     

一种基于混合星座编码的全速率全分集准正交空时分组码

准正交空时分组码对发射天线数大于2的复信号能够实现全速率的发射,它在低信噪比的情况下有比较好的性能,但是由于准正交空时分组码不是全发射分集的,因而在高信噪比时性能并不优越。为了改善准正交空时分组码在高信噪比时的性能,本文采用对准正交空时分组码进行混合星座编码的形式来提高准正交空时分组码的分集度。仿真及计算结果显示,采用混合星座编码能在少量频带利用率损失的情况下大幅提高准正交空时分组码的性能。     

基于准正交空时码的最优线性预编码矩阵设计

为了充分利用信道信息改善应用准正交空时分组码的MIMO系统的性能,该文提出了将预编码矩阵和准正交空时分组码相结合的发射机制。信息在经过准正交空时分组码编码后,要经过线性预编码矩阵进行处理,才可以从发射天线发送。文中的预编码矩阵设计利用了MIMO信道的非零均值矩阵和相关矩阵,并采用成对差错概率作为其最优设计准则。仿真结果表明,相对于未经过预编码矩阵的系统,新系统的误码率性能有明显改善。     

基于随机旋转的准正交空时分组码研究

为了提高准正交空时分组码的性能,该文提出基于随机旋转的准正交空时分组码(Random-rotation QO-STBC)的发射分集方法。这种方法对每个输入信息符号序列进行随机旋转,使准正交空时分组码的符号间干扰(ISI)随机化。仿真结果表明,在41 MIMO QPSK调制系统中,采用最大似然检测方法,当误码率为10-5时,新的发射方案比传统的两种准正交空时分组码误码性能有约4dB的增益;当误码率低于10-4时,RR-J码相比于ST-LCP码,仍表现出0.51dB增益;当SNR高于16dB时,RR-J与CFR具有几乎相同的误码性能。文章讨论了实际系统中随机旋转矩阵数受限情况下性能的损失,仿真结果显示当可用随机旋转矩阵数大于16时,对系统性能的影响可以忽略。

基于预编码的全码率准正交空时分组码

针对传统八天线全码率准正交空时分组码解码复杂度高的问题,该文提出了两种基于预编码的传输方案。利用四天线正交码扩展得到新的八天线准正交码,结合两个反馈相位信息构成的预编码矩阵,使信道矩阵正交化,消除码间串扰,实现码元独立最大似然解码。发送端采用交织技术,进一步提高了性能,实现了双码元联合最大似然解码。和获得满分集增益的星座图旋转方案不同,预编码方案最大程度上减少了码间串扰,提高准正交码的性能。仿真结果表明,基于预编码的两种准正交码性能好于星座旋转准正交码,而且降低了解码复杂度。

A new full-rate full-diversity orthogonal space-time block coding scheme

In this work, we present a new space-time orthogonal coding scheme with full-rate and full-diversity. The proposed space-time coding scheme can be used on quaternary phase-shift keyed (QPSK) transceiver systems with four transmit antennas and any number of receivers. An additional feature is that the coded signals transmitted through all four transmit antennas do not experience any constellation expansion. The performance of the proposed coding scheme is studied in comparison with that of 1/2-rate full-diversity orthogonal space-time code, quasi-orthogonal code, as well as constellation-rotated quasi-orthogonal code. Our study shows that the proposed coding scheme offers full rate and outperforms the 1/2-rate orthogonal codes as well as full-rate quasi-orthogonal codes when the signal-to-noise increases. Compared to the constellation-rotated quasi-orthogonal codes (the improved QO scheme), the newly proposed code has the advantage of not expanding the signal constellation at each transmit antenna. The performance of the newly proposed code is comparable to that of the improved QO scheme.     

Low-complexity channel-adapted space-time coding scheme for frequency-selective wireless MIMO channels

By exploiting the wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel structure, a brand new space-time code design criterion is derived. Based on the new criterion, we propose one low-complexity channel-adapted space-time (CAST) coding scheme, where trade-offs among codeword error rate, data throughput, and computational complexity are very flexible. Simulation results confirm that, in the frequency-selective MIMO channels, the CAST coding scheme can perform significantly better than the existing space-time codes, e.g., Alamouti space-time orthogonal code.     

Space-time MSK Codes for Quasi-Static Fading Channels

In this paper, 4-state and 8-state space-time trellis codes with full rate, full diversity and high coding gain are proposed for MSK modulation, based on a technique similar to the super-orthogonal space-time trellis code (SOSTTC) design. Since the phase continuity requirement of MSK is the main constraint in space-time MSK code design not all the signal matrices corresponding to the trellis branches are orthogonal. The paper shows that the SOSTTC design technique can be extended to nonorthogonal coding structures. The new space-time MSK codes have frame error performances very close to those of their space-time QPSK counterparts given in [1]     

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.

Single-block coded modulation for MINO systems

This paper introduces a new class of space-time codes that achieve coding gain without a trellis or any form of inter-block dependency. The construction of the new codes starts from an existing (parent) space-time block code (STBC). Then by increasing the constellation size followed by expurgation of the expanded codebook, a better code is obtained at the original transmission rate. This method can be applied to a wide variety of space-time block codes, including orthogonal codes and quasi-orthogonal codes. A multi-stage design algorithm is presented, and for orthogonal parent codes, an efficient decoding algorithm is developed, and its decoding complexity is analyzed. Despite altering the regular structure of the orthogonal code, the decoding complexity is only affected by a constant factor.     

Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes

We introduce a new class of space-time codes called super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes. These codes combine set partitioning and a super set of orthogonal space-time block codes in a systematic way to provide full diversity and improved coding gain over earlier space-time trellis code constructions. We also study the optimality of our set partitioning and provide coding gain analysis. Codes operating at different rates, up to the highest theoretically possible rate, for different number of states can be designed by using our optimal set partitioning. Super-orthogonal space-time trellis codes can provide a tradeoff between rate and coding gain. Simulation results show more than 2-dB improvements over the codes presented in the literature while providing a systematic design methodology.     

Improving BER performance of virtual QOSTBC

In this paper, we propose a new solution for improving BER performance of virtual quasi orthogonal space-time block coding (QOSTBC). The proposed solution is compared with virtual QOSTBC and virtual orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC). One of the main disadvantages of virtual OSTBC is its code rate, while on the other side code rate of QOSTBC equals 1, but with BER performance degradation as a consequence. The scheme proposed here provides improved BER performance in comparison with QOSTBC, and has preserved code rate of 1. The considered schemes are used for creating virtual 4 × 1 multiple input-single output channel. These schemes include one base station, one relay station, both equipped with two antennas, and one mobile station with a single antenna.
