摘要:
An encoder for a wideband CDMA communications system comprises an outer Reed-Solomon code encoder and an inner parallel concatenated convolutional code (PCCC) or turbo code encoder. An iterative PCCC decoder, for decoding the inner code, includes summing functions in forward and feedback paths for producing extrinsic information to enhance soft decoding decisions by first and second decoders in successive decoding iterations. An outer code decoder connected following the PCCC decoder also can provide serial feedback information for enhancing iterative decisions by the PCCC decoder.

In a transmitter of a wireless communications system having M transmit antennas (10), each transmit antenna is supplied with a respective combined signal comprising a respective one of M groups each of N data sub-streams, orthogonally spread by N Walsh code sequences (W1 to WN). The N orthogonal code sequences used for each of the M groups comprise a respective one of M different combinations of N from Nw orthogonal code sequences, where Nw>N. M and N are integers greater than one. The combined signals can also include orthogonally spread pilot signals (WP) for channel estimation at a receiver. Orthogonality of the signals transmitted from the transmit antennas is increased, so that transmit signal power can be decreased and/or the receiver can have fewer than M receive antennas.

Space-time diversity using a plurality of transmit antennas is provided with a turbo coding arrangement comprising two recursive systematic convolutional coders, to one of which input bits are supplied directly and to the other of which the information bits are supplied after interleaving of bit groups for respective symbol intervals. Symbols produced by the coders and comprising systematic and parity information are supplied to paths to the antennas alternately in successive symbol intervals to provide the space-time diversity. Arrangements are described for 2 and 4 antennas and for various convolutional codes, and an iterative decoder is also described.
摘要:
Systems and methods of optimizing communication channels in multi-user communication systems are provided. Coding weights are determined based on communication channel state information for communication channels between a transmitter and multiple receivers. The coding weights are applied to communication signals to be transmitted from the transmitter to the receivers. Each receiver decodes received signals using inverses of the coding weights. Embodiments of the invention support multi-user MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) where each receiver has fewer antennas than the transmitter, and enhance system performance if the total number of antennas at all of the receivers exceeds the number of antennas at the transmitter.
