Description

Space-time separation soft input and soft output detection method based on spatial domain pre-whitening combination
Technical Field
The invention discloses a space-time separation soft input and soft output detection method based on space domain prewhitening combination in a multi-antenna wireless communication system, and belongs to the technical field of high-speed wireless transmission and reception.
Background
Using multiple antenna transmission and multiple antenna reception in a wireless communication system, the transmission capability of the communication system can theoretically be multiplied. However, at the receiving end of a multi-antenna wireless communication system, there is signal interference in the spatial domain, i.e., between antennas. In the case of multicarrier transmission using a single carrier of a wide band or a wide subband, a radio channel of each carrier becomes a frequency selective channel, that is, intersymbol interference at different times exists. Therefore, in the environment of frequency selective channel, the receiving end of the multi-antenna system has both signal interference between different antennas and signal interference at different times, and also has additive white gaussian noise. Therefore, at the receiving end, it is necessary to suppress interference signals and additive noise in two dimensions of the spatial domain and the time domain to obtain an estimate of the transmitted signal, and soft information is obtained by soft demodulation in an error control coding system of soft decision decoding and sent to a decoder.
The detection method in the environment with both symbol interference between antennas and symbol interference at different time is mainly based on the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) criterion algorithm and the detector based on the linear filtering and interference elimination method such as Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion. MAP detection performs optimally, but is the most complex, with complexity that is not achievable in the case of a large number of antennas or multipaths. In the rayleigh fading channel environment with small spatial correlation, the detector of the MMSE criterion can also obtain the performance close to the MAP detection, but in the environment with large spatial correlation of the channel, the performance difference between MMSE and MAP detection is large. By utilizing the characteristics of different correlation characteristics of a frequency selective MIMO channel space domain and a time domain, a space-time separation detector can be adopted to perform different processing on interference signals at different moments and signals of different antennas at the same moment, soft interference elimination is performed on the interference signals at different moments, and higher-performance detection based on MAP or MMSE and the like is performed on the signals on different antennas at the same moment.
Generally, before performing space-time separation detection, a receiving end first performs space-time matching on a received signal. And part of information amount is often lost in the space-time matching and combining process, and especially, ideal performance cannot be obtained under the condition that the spatial correlation factor of the MIMO channel is large. The design of the detection method which can approach a soft-input soft-output detector based on the MAP criterion in various channel environments, especially in the channel environment with large spatial correlation factors and/or serious direct path components, and keeps relatively low complexity is a key problem for determining whether the multi-antenna technology can be finally applied to a practical system.
