摘要:
A method and apparatus for increasing the data rate and providing antenna diversity using multiple transmit antennas is disclosed. A set of bits of a digital signal are used to generate a codeword. Codewords are provided according to a channel code. Delay elements may be provided in antenna output channels, or with suitable code construction delay may be omitted. n signals represent n symbols of a codeword are transmitted with n different transmit antennas. At the receiver MSLE or other decoding is used to decode the noisy received sequence. The parallel transmission and channel coding enables an increase the data rate over previous techniques, and recovery even under fading conditions. The channel coding may be concatenated with error correction codes under appropriate conditions.

Good transmission characteristics are achieved in the presence of fading with a transmitter that employs a trellis coder followed by a block coder. Correspondingly, the receiver comprises a Viterbi decoder followed by a block decoder. Advantageously, the block coder and decoder employ time-space diversity coding which, illustratively, employs two transmitter antennas and one receiver antenna.

An improved multi-antenna receiver is realized for detecting signals transmitted by a multi-antenna transmitter by summing signals received at the plurality of receiver antennas after multiplying each by a respective constant. The summed signal is applied to a maximum likelihood detector. The respective constants, λj, where j is an index designating a particular receiver antenna, are determined by evaluating the largest eigenivector of the matrix A, where Λ is a vector containing values λj, and A is a matrix containing elements αij, which is the transfer function between the ith transmitter antenna to the jth receiver antenna. The αij terms are determined in the receiver in conventional ways.

An electronic circuit for decoding wireless communication signals comprises: a combiner adapted to receive one of an incoming time diverse or frequency diverse signal representing blocks of encoded symbols. The blocks of symbols have been transmitted by a plurality of spatially diverse antennas. The combiner is configured to combine the received encoded symbols The received encoded symbols include negated selected symbols and conjugated selected symbols. A maximum likelihood detector is configured to receive the one of a time diverse or a frequency diverse signal. The detector receives the combined encoded signals and recovers transmitted signals using a channel transfer function.

A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only of simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the 5 transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies: Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the to same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.

The present invention is directed to apparatus and method for encoding and decoding data within a wireless network such that a MS preferably does not require multiple receivers to handle communications from BTSs with varying numbers of antennas. In embodiments of the present invention, a space-time matrix is utilized to encode the data streams being transmitted from a BTS such that a BTS with fewer antennas would simply have an encoding matrix with one or more of the columns or rows removed from the matrix. In this way, the MSs within the wireless network can be designed to decode with the use of only a single space-time encoding matrix, this space-time encoding matrix working for BTSs with various numbers of antennas.
