摘要:
The present invention provides a channel estimation apparatus in which channel estimation may be made higher than heretofore in accuracy and may be used for calculating the weight for an equalization filter to achieve an optimum equalizing performance. A subcarrier copying unit 20 copies K items of end-side subcarriers, using the channel estimation obtained by a correlation processing unit 14 and K which is a subcarrier copy number. An IDFT unit 15 transforms the channel estimation obtained at the subcarrier copying unit 20 into the time domain channel response. A noise path removing unit 16 removes noise paths from the channel response output from the IDFT unit 15. A DFT unit 17 performs DFT of the channel response, from which the noise paths are removed by the noise path removing unit 16, to output a noise-suppressed frequency domain channel estimation value. A weight calculation unit 5 inputs the frequency domain channel estimation value output from the DFT unit 17 to calculate an equalizing weight.
摘要:
The present invention provides a MIMO receiving apparatus and a receiving method in which a signal carrier signal is transformed into a frequency domain signal to perform equalization by signal processing in the frequency domain, and in which an equalization performance is to be improved. A residual interference calculation unit 17 inputs noise-suppressed frequency domain channel estimation values, output from FFT units 12-1-1 to 12-M-N, equalizing weights calculated by a weight calculating unit 13, equalized signals from equalization processing by an equalization filter 14 and reference signals generated by reference signal generating units 16-1 to 16-M to calculate a residual interference. The likelihood correction units 18-1 to 18-M receive time domain equalized signal from the IDFT units 15-1 to 15-M and the residual interference calculated by the residual interference calculation unit 17 to correct the likelihood of the equalized signal ( Fig.1 ).
