为了改善多跳传感器网络的性能,提出了一种基于三种空间分集技术的异步协作传输模式.该模式是考虑非同步网络传输,多个传感器通过共享天线,形成虚拟多天线发送/多天线接收(MIMO)的协作通信,并利用空时编码、发射天线选择和信号空间分集三种空间分集技术,有效抵制传输信道的衰落,提高了系统的分集增益.通过蒙特卡罗仿真,结果表明,对比传统的单发单收传输模式和异步空时协作传输模式,该传输模式获得了更高的分集增益,提高了系统的性能,从而节省了网络的能量损耗.     

多通道分组SFBC-OFDM传输方案

空频分组编码(SFBC)结合正交频分多路复用(OFDM)的发射分集方案(SF-OFDM)利用空间分集可以有效克服快衰落信道造成的不利影响,提高系统性能。对SF-OFDM发射分集方案做了简要分析,提出了一种多通道分组SFBC-OFDM发射分集方案。在发射端采用分组结构的SFBC结合OFDM技术,在接收端利用OFDM中子载波选择矩阵进行分组干扰抑制,然后对每一通道SFBC进行传统的空频分组码解码。这种传输方案克服了发射天线数目较大时传统SFBC编码非常复杂的缺点,极大地降低了编码的复杂度。分析和仿真结果验证了该方法的有效性。     

基于OFDM系统的空时频分组编码方案

提出了一种空时频分组编码方案,其设计思路是:接收端通过子信道的相关特性确定不相关子载波组,并反馈给发射端;发射端基于反馈信息,利用星座旋转预编码矩阵和空时分组编码技术构建空时频分组编码。该方案只反馈子信道的相关性而无需反馈整个信道信息,可应用于任意数量的发射/接收天线,能获得极高的分集增益和带宽效率,且只有较低的解码复杂度。在瑞利衰落环境下的仿真结果证实了此方案的鲁棒性。     

多天线系统中BLAST算法和STBC算法的结合

提出了一种BLAST与STBC结合的算法,本算法适用于所有接收天线大于等于发射天线数的天线阵列.对于STBC的发射矩阵,每次只传榆矩阵的一行,在接收端对已接收的每行数据都进行检测.如果解码成功,发射端则停止发送矩阵数据;如果失败,就继续发射下一行.这样在发送第一行时等效于发送BLAST,可以获得空间复用增益,而在传输完最后一行时是完整的STBC,可以获得空问分集增益,在中间状态则可以获得部分的分集增益和部分的复用增益.本算法结合了BLAST和STBC的优势,相对于BALST算法有更低的误码率,而相对于STBC算法则有更高的传输速率.分别对基于正交空时码和准正交空时码的推荐算法进行了仿真,仿真结果支持了理论分析的结果.

基于时频对偶特性,提出了时变Doppler衰落信道下空频多普勒OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)编码的一种新方案。在时变信道Doppler基扩展(BEM,Basis Expansion Model)模型的基础上,利用时频对偶性及循环矩阵的对角化处理,实现了时变Doppler衰落信道的线性化变换。通过OFDM调制,利用矩阵分块方法对OFDM子载频分块并按块进行复正交编码设计,实现了一般性MIMO系统中的空频多普勒OFDM编码。采用前端星座预处理与空频多普勒OFDM编码级联的方法,从而实现了包括信道Doppler分集在内的系统全分集增益。理论分析及实验仿真表明,新编码方案能稳健有效地对抗信道Doppler衰落,具有更高的频带利用率及更低的误比特率。     

超宽带通信中空时分组码的一种闭式盲解码法

针对应用于超宽带(UWB)通信中的正交空时分组码提出了一种计算复杂度较低的盲解码方法。利用正交空时分组码的特性,估计出信道矩阵,并将该信道矩阵用于最大似然接收机,从而得到发送信号的估计。平坦衰落环境中的仿真表明,该方法能够实现和相关接收相同的分集增益;并且随着信道相关时间的增加,性能逐渐接近于相关接收。     

空时频分组码的设计和GLRT解码算法

基于多输入多输出(MIMO)天线和正交频分多路复用(OFDM),提出了空时频分组编码方法,发射端的编码和接收端的解码都不需要信道状态信息(CSI)。利用广义似然比检验(GLRT)解码算法,导出了成对符号错误概率(PEP)上限和码的设计准则。分析表明,在频率选择性MIMO信道中,这种码能充分利用空间分集和频率分集,而且只有较低的编解码复杂性。仿真结果证实,在频率选择性MIMO信道中,提出的非相干空时频码相对空时分组码性能有很大提高。     

天线相关条件下空频码的分集特性分析

已有空频码设计的文献分析了在天线不相关假设下一个MIMO-OFDM系统的最大分集阶数,而在实际系统中,发送端和接收端的天线之间的相关性总是很难避免的,已经有理论分析指出这种天线相关性将最终影响系统容量,但并没有明确指出相关性对系统分集特性的影响.通过一种等效的信号模型,通过该模型将频率选择性衰落信道下系统的分析等效为平衰落信道下的分析,并导出了存在天线相关情况下码字的成对错误概率,并通过对码字成对错误概率的分析给出了存在天线相关情况下系统能提供的最大分集阶数以及码设计的一些特性.

Lattice-reduction-aided MMSE precoding for correlated MIMO channels and performance analysis

The lattice-reduction (LR) has been developed to improve the performance of the zero-forcing (ZF) precoder in multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems. Under the assumptions of uncorrelated flat fading channel model and perfect channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT), an LR-aided ZF precoder is able to collect the full transmit diversity. With the complex LenstraLenstra-Lova′sz (LLL) algorithm and limited feedforward structure, an LR-aided linear minimum-mean-square-error (LMMSE) precoder for spatial correlated MIMO channels and imperfect CSIT is proposed to achieve lower bit error rate (BER). Assuming a time division duplexing (TDD) MIMO system, correlated block flat fading channel and LMMSE uplink channel estimator, it is proved that the proposed LR-aided LMMSE precoder can also obtain the full transmit diversity through an analytical approach. Furthermore, the simulation results show that with the quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation at the transmitter, the uncoded and coded BERs of the LR-aided LMMSE precoder are lower than that of the traditional LMMSE precoder respectively when E b / N0 is greater than 10 dB and 12 dB at all correlation coefficients.     

Performance of MC-CDMA Systems with Orthogonal Transmit Diversity over Rayleigh Fading Channel

Transmit diversity has been recently proposed to reduce the effects of fading channels in various wireless applications. Orthogonal transmit diersity (OTD) is one of the standardized techniques in 3G systems. In this paper, we apply orthogonal transmit diversity technique to multicarrier CDMA systems. Andlysis and simulation results show that performance benefits can be achieved compared with conventioal MC-CDMA systems in multipath fading channels.     

Equivalent Joint Space-Time Multiuser Detection for Uplink ISI-Corrupted Multicarrier CDMA Systems with Arbitrary Antenna Arrays

The multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems without cyclic prefix (CP) hold a fine spectral efficiency though they are unavoidably corrupted by the intersymbol interference (ISI) over the finite impulse response (FIR) channel. We call MC-CDMA systems without CP the ISI-corrupted MC-CDMA systems in some sense. Considering the fact that combining antenna arrays with so-called ISI-corrupted MC-CDMA systems is advantageous in suppressing cochannel interference in cellular communication systems, this paper investigates ISI-corrupted MC-CDMA systems with base station antenna arrays. Joint space-time multiuser detection (MUD) schemes for DS-CDMA systems with antenna arrays have drawn much attention recently. Based upon them, we can derive the equivalent joint spatial-temporal MUD scheme for ISI-corrupted MC-CDMA systems with antenna arrays. In order to achieve this goal, an equivalent space-time estimation method of uplink vector channel is first derived for the ISI-corrupted MC-CDMA syste     

Throughput-based mode switching for MIMO ARQ systems in presence of transmit correlation

The mode switching between spatial multiplexing(SM) and space-time block code(STBC) diversity is investigated for the multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) automatic repeat request (ARQ) system.Five important practical factors are considered in the proposed switching scheme:transmit correlation,ARQ technique, packet loss probability(PLP) constraint,discrete rate transmission (DRT) and channel coding.Under the spatially correlated channel,the distributions of the post signal-to-interference-plusnoise ratio(SINR) for the SM mode and the STBC mode are obtained by using Gamma approximations.Then this paper derives the closed-form expressions of the PLP and the throughput for different modes when the ARQ technique is employed,based on which the mode switching algorithm is proposed to improve the spectral efficency.In the simulation,the correction of the expressions is first verified.Then,the significant gain observed by the proposed algorithm is presented.Since the switching point is the key parameter to implement the mode switching,this paper also shows how the switching point is affected by the practical factors considered.     

Application of transmit diversity for improved robust watermarking

Many common multimedia signal processing, including cropping, filtering, and perceptual coding, make watermark signal fading-like modification. A scheme that applies transmit diversity technique to improve robustness of digital watermarking is presented. First, the scheme decomposes the original image using wavelet pyramid algorithm and chooses the middle-frequency band for transmission channel that the watermark will be embedded into. Then the watermark is pseudo-randomly permuted. The scheme makes use of space-time coding and differential detection technique to embed and extract watermark. The extracting process has access to neither the original image nor channel state information. Experimental results demonstrate that the scheme improves the performance of robust watermarking.
