Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for operating a transmission end in a wireless communication system that supports Frequency and Quadrature-Amplitude Modulation (FQAM) are provided. The method includes dividing an information bit stream into a plurality of portions, encoding each of the plurality of portions using different encoding schemes, and generating an FQAM symbol by combining result values of the encoding of each of the plurality of portions, wherein the encoding schemes are different according to at least one of an encoding order, an encoding rate, an input size, and an encoding technique.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for generating soft-decision information in a multiple antenna system are provided. The method includes determining Q candidate symbol vectors for a first transmission symbol of a received signal vector by performing parallel detection on a received signal vector and a channel matrix, determining a candidate symbol vector having a shortest Euclidean distance to the received signal vector from among the Q candidate symbol vector, as an approximate Maximum Likelihood (ML) symbol vector, determining (Q−1) candidate symbol vectors for each of the remaining transmission symbols of the received signal vector by performing partial parallel detection on the received signal vector and the channel matrix using the approximate ML symbol vector, and calculating Log Likelihood Ratios (LLRs) of bits of the first transmission symbol using the candidate symbol vectors, wherein Q represents a modulation order.
Abstract:
A method for supporting Time-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (TQAM) in a wireless communication system includes generating a transmission symbol identified by a combination of a QAM symbol and a position of a time resource to which the QAM symbol is mapped, shifting at least one QAM symbol among QAM symbols contained in the transmission symbols with respect to a time axis, and readjusting a constellation point of the QAM symbol on the basis of a shifting quantity. A method for operating a receive end comprises receiving a reception symbol identified by a combination of a QAM symbol and a position of a time resource to which the QAM symbol is mapped, restoring at least one QAM symbol shifted in a transmit end for uniformizing of the time-axis distribution of QAM symbols contained in the reception symbols, generating decoding metrics for the reception symbol, and performing decoding the reception symbol using the decoding metric.
Abstract:
A method for generating a decoding metric in a wireless communication system includes receiving an FQAM symbol and determining transmission probabilities of FQAM symbol candidates from a received value of the FQAM symbol, wherein the transmission probabilities of the FQAM symbol candidates are determined by multiplying a probability that a QAM symbol included in the FQAM symbol is mapped to each of candidate values in one frequency and a probability that a signal is not transmitted in the other at least one frequency. An apparatus in a wireless communication system for supporting FQAM, the apparatus comprising an RF processing unit configured to receive an FQAM symbol, and a modem configured to determine transmission probabilities of FQAM symbol candidates from a received value of the FQAM symbol.
