Abstract:
Detection of a signal in a receiver of a MIMO communication system includes a transmitter for signals transmission via K antennas and a receiver for receiving the signals via L reception antennas, such that L is greater than or equal to K and the system has a K×L-dimensional channel matrix, by converting the channel matrix into a plurality of matrixes having an upper triangle structure; dividing each of the matrixes into at least two sub-matrixes having a dimension lower than that of the channel matrix; detecting transmission symbols from corresponding antennas through decoding of a) lowest sub-matrix signal received which sub-matrix is constituted of components having only the channel characteristics of two antennas among the two sub-matrixes; and b) an upper sub-matrix signal using the transmission symbols; and outputting all of the detected transmission symbols, if transmission symbols by a highest sub-matrix among at least two sub-matrixes are detected.
Abstract:
A rate matching method is provided for a mobile communication system that performs an adjustment to a code rate based on an optimal level by puncturing or repetition to respective bit streams of transport channels. The rate matching method is preferably applicable to uplink and downlink rate matching for channel coding including turbo coding, convolutional coding and the like. The rate matching method for uplink can include executing coding for bits of a transport channel, and branching off the bits into a plurality of sequences, constructing a first interleaving pattern for the plurality of sequences, constructing a virtual interleaving pattern for at least one sequence based on a mapping rule with a corresponding first interleaving pattern and calculating different bit shifting values in each column of each virtual interleaving pattern. Then, a bit position to be punctured is determined in each constructed virtual interleaving pattern using the calculated bit shifting values.

Abstract:
A method for matching a rate in a mobile communication system causes puncturing or repetition in a fixed pattern, in which puncturing or repetition is applied to each bitstream on transport channels supporting different services in a next generation mobile communication system of the W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) system. The method comprises the steps of (1) subjecting a bitstream on a transport channel for use in supporting a particular service to channel coding, (2) determining an initial error offset value for use in avoiding all the puncturing only in a particular bitstream among one or more than one bitstreams produced by the channel coding, (3) periodically subtracting a decrement from the determined initial error offset value, for puncturing a bit at a relevant position when a result of the subtraction satisfies a puncturing condition, (4) adding an update error parameter determined as the maximum bit size among TF (Transport Format) transportable during one TTI (Transport Time Interval) of the transport channel after the puncturing to a result of the subtraction, for updating an initial error offset value, and (5) periodically subtracting a decrement from the updated initial error offset value, for determining a position of a relevant bit to be punctured at the next time.
Abstract:
A hybrid forwarding apparatus and method for cooperative relaying in an OFDM network are provided. In a hybrid forwarding apparatus in a relay terminal, a forwarding scheme selector selects a forwarding scheme for transmission. An amplify and forward (AF) block amplifies data received from the forwarding scheme selector, if an AF scheme is selected. A decode and forward (DF) block decodes and encodes data received from the forwarding scheme selector, if a DF scheme is selected. A multiplexer provides the output data of the AF block and the DF block to an OFDM modulator.

Abstract:
A transmitting and receiving apparatus and method for optimizing performance of an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) in a multiple input and multiple output antenna (MIMO) communication system. When the AMC is applied to the MIMO system, the optimal scheme is different depending on the MIMO channel situation, the maximum transmission power, and the maximum modulation order. The transmitting apparatus includes an ordering selector that selects a successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme in order to obtain a maximum MIMO-AMC performance, and the receiving apparatus includes a channel quality information (CQI) generator corresponding to the SIC scheme selected at the transmitting apparatus.
