摘要:
A magnitude only equalizer equalizes a magnitude of a received wireless signal without regard to phase distortions introduced, and transmits the magnitude equalized signal to a timing recovery loop for improved correlation peak detection in a sync based timing recovery scheme. A channel equalizer receiving the output signal from the timing recovery loop equalizes the signal and corrects any phase distortions introduced by the magnitude only equalizer. The magnitude only equalizer includes at least one filter utilizing only real coefficients and constrained such that the direct term of the overall filter structure within the magnitude only equalizer is unity.

A system and method for a simplified Maximum Likelihood (ML) decoding (203) for MIMO systems is provided. The full ML decoding gives the lower bound of the decoding for CC coded MIMO systems. However, the computation cost is too high to be implemented in real system. Many alternative methods have been proposed for the decoding. Among them, weighted Zero Forcing (WZF) is one that can give affordable performance with reasonable computation complexity but there are several dB of performance gap for the WZF decoding and ML decoding. This present invention discloses a decoding system and method having improved performance over WZF decoding with affordable implementation complexity.

According to one aspect of the invention, a method for providing backward compatible transmitter diversity includes the steps of: receiving an input data bit stream; transforming it into an OFDM symbol stream comprised of even and odd symbols; dividing the OFDM symbol stream into a first symbol sub-stream and a second symbol sub-stream; processing the first symbol sub-stream by a first processing block to output a first processed symbol sub-stream; processing the second symbol sub-stream by a second processing block to output a second processed symbol sub-stream; transmitting the first processed symbol sub-stream from a first diversity antenna; and transmitting the second processed symbol sub-stream from a second diversity antenna and both are transmitted over non-overlapping frequencies.

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are candidates for higher data rate wireless communication systems. Currently, for a single input single output (SISO) 1802.11a system can provide a transmission data rate up to 54 Mbps. The present invention is a 2 by 2 Multiple In Multiple Out (MIMO) system having a decoding apparatus that increases the data rate to over 100 Mbps but at a computation cost about the same as for optimal decoding for a SISO system and 1/64 of the optimal decoding for a 2 by 2 MIMO system. At a bit error rate (BER) of 10-4 level, the 2 by 2 MIMO system of the present invention provides double the transmission data rate of the SISO system with approximately the same signal to noise ratio (SNR).
摘要:
Bit level, rather than symbol level, diversity combining is employed within a wireless communications receiver. Channel estimates and bit metrics are separately computed for signals received by different antenna elements. Bit metrics are calculated by determining a least squares cumulative difference between all bits within the received symbol and corresponding bits within constellation symbols as modified by the channel estimate. The separately-determined bit metrics are then combined for decoding. Performance improvements over both single antenna systems and multiple antenna systems with symbol level diversity combining are achieved.

A MIMO communication system implements an interleaver design with multiple encoders for more than two transmit antennas for high throughput WLAN communication systems. Multiple encoders are utilized in the transmitter and multiple decoders are utilized in the receiver, wherein each encoder operates at lower clock speed than would be necessary with a single encoder. In conjunction with using multiple encoders, a modified interleaving function for each spatial stream processing allows fully exploring the diversity gains. The provided interleaving function is suitable for transmitter architectures with multiple encoders. Similarly, a modified de-interleaving function is provided that is suitable for receiver architectures with multiple decoders.

A MIMO wireless system includes a transmitter having a parser that parses a bit stream into multiple spatial data streams and multiple interleavers corresponding to the multiple spatial data streams, where each interleaver interleaves the bits in the corresponding spatial data stream by performing column skip operation and frequency rotation, to increase diversity of the wireless system. The MIMO wireless system also includes a receiver that has deinterleavers that deinterleaves spatial bit streams transmitted by the transmitter.

A system and method is provided wherein channel state information assisted MIMO transmission based on singular value decomposition (SVD) (204) (304) simplifies the decoding process. The present invention is a joint source and channel coding system and method for robust wireless multimedia communication. Using the fact that SVD redistributes the channel energy in a descending way, the base layer of the Fine-Grained-Scalability (FGS) (208) is mapped to the highest signal-to-noise (SNR) path to obtain better protection, while other enhancement layers are mapped to other paths such that less important layers are mapped to lower SNR paths in the SVD-decomposed channel. A multiple description code (MDC) (207) is also used in this manner such that at least one coded stream is provided more protection because of the high SNR. This invention pertains to any MIMO based wireless multimedia communication system.
