Description

Apparatus and method for detecting a desired signal in CDMA receiver

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for detecting a code division multiple access (CDMA) receiver, and more particularly, to improving the performance of a parallel interference canceller (PIC), which is promising to be applied as a multi-user detector for a next generation mobile communication system. In particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for detecting a multi-user CDMA signal by a weighted parallel interference canceller (WPIC) having a weight determination method using channel decoding in a convolutional coded CDMA system.

As conventional CDMA detectors, a matched filter detector, an optimal multi-user detector, a correlation cancellation detector, a parallel interference canceller, and the like have been proposed. Among these, the matched filter detector and the parallel interference canceller related to the present invention will be described. .

For convenience of explanation, the description is made by adopting a symbol synchronous and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel model between users. Thus, the elements of the amplitude matrix are all real and positive. A typical CDMA channel is symbol asynchronous, where symbol delay between users occurs arbitrarily, and the amplitude matrix has complex elements. However, for convenience of explanation, a real model is adopted.

First, the matched filter detector will be described as the simplest receiver.

The matched filter detector output of user k in K multi-user channels may be represented by Equation (1) below.

,

(Where h is amplitude, d is data symbol, γ is correlation, and n is noise)

Then, the symbol decision value is given by the following equation (2).

1 shows a structure of a simple matched filter receiver having two users. Such a matched filter receiver has a result that the value of the second term acts as an interference signal to the value of the first term as shown in Equation (1). Therefore, no matter how small the background noise n _k of the channel is, the performance of the receiver is affected by the interference signal caused by the presence of multiple users. It is easy to see that the value of the second term depends a lot on the correlation value γ between user codes. The smaller the correlation value between different user codes, the smaller the second term of Equation (1), which is a multi-user interference signal, and thus the better performance is obtained. However, even if a code having a small correlation value is selected, the interference signal increases as the number of users increases, so that the performance of the matched filter receiver becomes worse. The smaller the size of the user has a problem that the interference signal is larger. The matched filter detector has been adopted as the receiver of most CDMA systems that have been operated until now due to its simple structure, but the problem of the classic matched filter receiver has been solved in the next generation mobile communication system that requires more subscribers and requires higher quality services. You must improve.

Therefore, in order to improve the problem of the matched filter receiver, a parallel interference canceller has been proposed as a multi-user detector.

The parallel interference canceller will be described below.

The interference canceller estimates and reproduces an interference signal using the symbol determination value and the signal amplitude of another user signal, removes the reproduced interference signal from the received signal, and then obtains the symbol determination value again. Such interference cancellers include a parallel interference cancerller and a successive interference canceller. In the implementation of interference cancellation, a reference signal to which interference cancellation is implemented may be a narrowband signal, that is, a matched filter output, or a wideband signal, that is, a received signal. The former method is called narrowband interference canceller and the latter method is called broadband interference canceller. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. Interference cancellers can also be implemented in multiple stages. The symbol decision value used for reproducing the multi-user interference signal in the interference canceller may be a hard decision or a soft decision. If a flexible output is used, it is easy to implement because the output of the matched filter is used as it is. However, if the amplitude of the user signal is properly estimated, it is generally better to use a rigid output. In the present invention, the narrowband interference canceller using the hard output has been described as a reference.

The parallel interference canceller simultaneously obtains symbol determination values of all interference signals and simultaneously removes the reproduced interference signal using the determination values. Next, the operation of the parallel interference canceller is expressed by the following equation (3), and the two-level parallel interference canceller is illustrated as an example for two users in FIG. 2.

The conventional parallel interference canceller as described above has a structure suitable as a multi-user interference canceller in a base station because the complexity of hardware implementation is proportional to the arithmetic function of the number of users and the processing speed is fast. The parallel interference canceller performs parallel interference cancellation by estimating and reproducing a multi-access interference signal using a symbol decision value of another user and subtracting the reproduced interference signal from the received signal. This parallel interference canceller can be implemented in multiple stages. When implemented in multiple stages, the interference signal is reproduced using the symbol decision value from the previous stage. Therefore, more accurate interference cancellation is achieved as the stage progresses, but it is not necessarily proportional considering the number of stages and the degree of performance improvement. There is a case where performance improvement is no longer performed. That is, after a certain step, an error layer occurs. This is the result of not fully estimating the signal amplitude and phase delay of each user in practical situations. Here, we present a method for improving the performance of the simplest two-stage parallel canceller. A parallel interference canceller is generally used as a first stage detector, as shown in Fig. 2, to match a matched filter detector. use. The interference signal is reproduced and parallel interference cancellation is performed by using hard symbol decision and estimated amplitude estimation, which are outputs of the matched filter detector. The performance of the parallel interference canceller depends heavily on the detector performance in the first stage. If the first stage detector generates a lot of errors, the second stage detector can increase the error by parallel interference cancellation. In order to improve the performance of the parallel interference canceller, the error in the first stage is minimized. To do this, it is difficult to apply the inverse of the correlation matrix to the matched filter output because it increases the complexity. A detector that performs channel decoding in the first stage and removes parallel interference is called a parallel interference canceller after decoding. After decoding, the parallel interference canceller means a method of performing parallel interference cancellation after improving the accuracy of data by performing channel decoding on the first stage to improve the performance of the parallel interference canceller. Another way to improve the performance of a parallel interference canceller is to introduce a weighted parallel interference cancellation detector (WPIC). That is, if a large number of errors occur, only a part of them is removed by giving an appropriate weight without removing all of the interference signals reproduced by the symbol decision value including the error.

Performance improvements of weighted parallel interference cancellers have been reported in previous studies. However, since the problem of optimally determining the weight requires considerable complexity, the method of determining the weight optimally has been used until now. However, the experimental weight determination method is a method of selecting a weight value of the average bit error rate while varying the weight in a given channel environment, so that the weight determined by this method has the same value for every user and each symbol. It has a weight. That is, the conventional weighted parallel interference canceller adds the same weight to both the symbol reliability value with high reliability and the symbol reliability value with low reliability, so that unnecessary weight is added to the symbol decision value including an error. There was a disadvantage in that performance is reduced.

The present invention has been made to improve the performance of a CDMA receiver by solving the problems of the conventional weighted parallel interference canceller as described above. It is an object of the present invention to provide a demodulation apparatus and method for a code division multiple access receiver configured to implement more reliable data demodulation by implementing a symbol weighted parallel interference cancellation technique having a variable weight value for each.

Hereinafter, a detection apparatus and a method of a code division multiple access receiver according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, a transmitter model of a channel coded CDMA system having K users and symbol synchronization between users is shown in FIG. 3. Here, the information bit b _k ∈ {-1,1}, k = 1 .... of the k-th user, k is the generation function g ₀ = (101), g ₁ = (111) and the code rate 1/2. Assume that it is convolutional coded. Each code symbol d _k ∈ {-1,1} is modulated with binary phase shift keying (BPSK) and spread with a normalized spreading code s _k . This assured signal is transmitted over a frequency-nonselective Rayleigh fading channel. Where the Rayleigh fading coefficient Represented by

When the received signal at the receiver input is represented as a baseband signal,

Is given by Where n is additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Assuming coherent demodulation on the assumption that the channel estimation is accurate, the matched filter receiver output for user 1

Is given by Γ _1j is a cross-correlation value between the diffusion codes s ₁ and s _j . And z ₁ is the additive Gaussian noise given by the correlation between n and s ₁ .

This. Performing parallel interference cancellation gives:

In Equation (6), if the symbol decision value d ^* _j is an error, the power of the interference signal is increased rather than decreased. As described above, weighted parallel interference cancellation is introduced as follows to reduce the negative effect of increasing the power of an interference signal due to an error symbol.

Appropriately choosing the weight w in this weighted parallel interference cancellation will reduce the power of the interference signal on average and improve the overall performance. When the weight is experimentally determined as in the past, the weight is selected as one value that minimizes the bit error rate in a given channel environment. You can expect better results by accessing each symbol unit for removal. Observing Equation (7), the same weight w is used for all symbol decision values. Instead, the symbol decision value with higher reliability is eliminated and the symbol decision value with relatively lower reliability is used. Reducing the weight may further reduce the power of the overall interfering signal. That is, instead of using the same weight as a whole, different weights are applied according to the reliability of each symbol decision value.

As described above, in order to perform weighted parallel interference cancellation using symbol reliability, symbol reliability must be obtained. In a CDMA system coded with convolutional code, the symbol reliability can be obtained by using a soft-output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA) as a decoder. Therefore, in the present invention, since channel decoding must be performed at the stage before parallel interference cancellation, a parallel interference cancellation scheme is adopted after decoding and a soft output Viterbi algorithm is used as the decoder.

In FIG. 4, a demodulation device for a CDMA receiver according to the present invention includes a plurality of matching means for separately extracting and extracting a reception signal r despread by a spreading code s ₁ -s _k for each channel into signals for each channel. Matched filters (MF) 120 ₁ -120 _k ; In the channel signal extracted by the plurality of matched filters _{(120 1 -120 k) (y} 1 -y k) delay (Delay) (130) that delays for the time of the target signal (y ₁₎ pre-set; Each of the signals other than the target signal _{(y 1) (y 2 -y} k) of the channel signals extracted by the plurality of matched filters _{(120 1 -120 k) (y} 1 -y k) for each channel also input to decoding the input signal as well as a plurality of decoders to generate the reliability information of the decoded signal _{(SOVA) (140 2 -140 k} ); Said plurality of decoders (140 ₂ -140 _k) a signal (b ^* ₂ -b ^* _k) a plurality of re-re-encoding unit _{(Re-encoder) (150 2} -150 k) for encoding respectively decoding by; A plurality of conversion to convert the reliability information unit (Translator) of said reliability information of the decoded signal and the re-encoded signal (160 ₂ -160 _k); Weight to determine the weights to be assigned to the signal of the re-encoded on the basis of the reliability information of the re-encoded signal determiner _{(Weight Estimator) (170 2 -170} k); A base encoder (150 ₂ -150 _k) the re-encoded signal by ^{_{(d * 2 -d * k)}} , weight (w _d2 -w _dk) determined by said weight determination section (170 ₂ -170 _k), Interference included in the delayed signal y ₁ based on the correlation value γ ₁₂ -γ _1k between the delayed target signal and the corresponding channel signal, and the estimated amplitude h ₂ -h _k of the channel signal. calculating estimates the signal, and rejected by the delayed output signal (y _1), the weighting parallel interference to remove the basis of the weighted remove the interference signal calculated in parallel interference method (180); And a demodulator 190 which demodulates the output signal of the weighted parallel interference canceller 180 to determine and extract the target data b ^* ₁ .

The decoder _{(SOVA) (140 2 -140 k} ) is a soft output Viterbi algorithm: channel decoder, and the re-encoding unit (150 ₂ -150 _k), based on (Soft-Output Viterbi Algorithm SOVA) is a convolutional encoder the which will re-encoded to code symbols on the basis of the determined information bits to a generator polynomial of the convolutional encoder, the conversion unit (160 ₂ -160 _k) is reliability information of the re-encoded code symbols by using the reliability information of the determined information bits To generate a.

Referring to Figure 4, illustrating the operation of the invention in a view to detecting the signal of the user 1, the first output of each of the matched filter (120 ₁ -120 _k) for a signal from the user 2 to K which acts as an interference signal this is decoded by the soft output Viterbi algorithm for each decoder (140 ₁ -140 _k). From the flexible output Viterbi algorithm, reliability information of bits is generated together with the determined value b ^* _k of the information bits. The reliability information may be expressed as an error probability of a bit or as a log-likelihood ratio between a probability of a decoded bit being correct and an error probability. Interference cancellation is done at the area of the code symbols to generate a code symbol information bits are to be re-encoded as a generator polynomial of the encoder gimssam (150 ₂ -150 _k). At this time, the same time through the conversion unit (160 ₂ -160 _k) by using a reliability information bit of information should be generated reliability information of the code symbols. By using the reliability information of the code symbols to determine a weight in the weight determining unit (170 ₂ -170 _k) and perform a parallel interference cancellation weight, as follows: in the weighting parallel interference remover 180.

Here, w _j is a weight to be determined to vary depending on the reliability of the decision value d ^* _j of the code symbol.

Next, a process of determining weights using error probability or probability log ratio of the information bits generated by the soft output Viterbi algorithm of each decoder 140 _{1 to} 140 _k will be described in detail.

First, the weight determination process using the error probability is as follows.

Error Probability of Information Bits by Known Flexible Output Viterbi Algorithm Can be estimated and its value is 0≤ ≤ 0.5. The method of determining the weight using this error probability is divided into two steps.

First, the error probability of the sign symbol Should be obtained. The error probability output from the flexible output Viterbi algorithm is the error probability of the information bits. Using the structure of the convolutional encoder 150 generation function is used to find the error probability of the code symbol. Since the generation functions are selected from g ₀ = (101) and g ₁ = (111), the error probability of the code symbol is estimated by the following equation (9) (10).

here, Is the error probability of the jth information bit of user k.

Second, weights are determined using the error probability of the code symbol. In general, in a system with K users, the problem of determining the optimal weight by considering the error probability of all interfering users at the same time becomes very complicated. Therefore, the same method is applied to K users by calculating the weights of two users. do. For two users, displaying the matched filter output of user 1 without considering Gaussian noise

Is given by In this case, if you perform weighted parallel interference cancellation,

Is given by When a known minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion is applied to the received signal, the weight is given by Equation (13) below.

If the same method is adopted in a system of three or more people, the weighted parallel interference canceller is represented by the following equation (14).

As described above, a weight determination method using an error probability is shown in a flowchart in FIG. 5, and as shown in the drawing, first, using a soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA), together with a determined value b ^* _k of an information bit. An information bit error probability is estimated and generated as reliability information of the bit (S501), and the information bit error probability is converted into a code symbol error probability (S502). Subsequently, after determining the weight for each symbol based on the code symbol error probability (S503), weighted parallel interference elimination (Weighted PIC) may be performed based on the determined weight.

Next, the weight determination process using the probability log ratio will be described.

In the weighting method using the error probability mentioned above, the signal-to-interference power ratio of the received signal must be measured to estimate the error probability of the information bit. Many CDMA systems measure the signal-to-interference power ratio for power control, but if the accuracy of the measurement decreases, it also affects the accuracy of the estimated error probability. This also affects the accuracy of the error probability value as reliability information of the code symbol. Instead of using the error probability as the reliability information of the protection symbol, it is possible to use the log-likehood ratio between the probability that the code symbol is correct and the error probability as the reliability information of the code symbol. In other words, the exact probability of the code symbol And the probability that the code symbol is an error In this case, the probability log ratio is given by the following equation (15).

In order to approximate this probability log ratio, branch metrics are defined as in the following equation (16).

here Is the ψ of the Ψ bits above the mth branch at time i, assuming the trellis diagram of the Viterbi algorithm. And Is the received signal at the same position. E _s / (I _o + N _o ) is the ratio of received signal to noise power. Since noise power is a multiuser system, it is equivalent to noise including background Gaussian noise No and interference signal Io. The probability log ratio for branch metrics defined as described above is approximated by the following equation (17).

However, in the present invention, in order to reduce the complexity of the calculation, the branch metric from which the Es / (No + Io) term is removed is redefined as in Equation (18) so that the signal-to-interference power ratio is not calculated.

The probability log ratio obtained using the redefined branch metric is closer to the Gaussian distribution with the average value as the signal-to-noise ratio increases. In other words, as the signal-to-noise ratio increases, the Gaussian distribution decreases. If the probability probability ratio is increased, the error probability decreases exponentially as the probability probability ratio is increased. In an environment where the signal-to-noise power ratio is large, it can be assumed that most information bits are distributed around an average value, and that an information bit having a probability log ratio above the average value rarely generates an error. The statistical method of the probability log ratio is used to derive the weighting method.

However, as in the error probability, the flexible output Viterbi algorithm generates a probability log ratio for information bits, and thus, a technique for obtaining a probability log ratio for a code symbol is required. In the process of re-encoding the decoded information bits, the probability ratio of the re-coded code symbol is most affected by the information bits having the smallest probability ratio among the information bits in the memory of the encoder and the input bits of the encoder. The probability log ratio of the recoded code symbol is determined as in Equation (19).

Here, b _k ⁱ is the i-th information bit of the user k. By converting the probability log ratio of the information bits to the probability log ratio of the code symbol by this method, statistical characteristics other than the average value become slightly smaller are maintained.

The weight is determined using the probability log ratio of the code symbols. First, the error probability of the code symbols having the distribution of the probability log ratio and the characteristic probability log ratio decreases exponentially with the probability log ratio. That is, most code symbol errors occur for code symbols having a value near zero as the probability log ratio. There is little error in the mean and probability log ratio values above. In the part where error occurs a lot, the weight is reduced to remove the interference, and for the symbols that do not occur in error, the weight is increased to perform the interference cancellation, as shown in Equation (20) below. The linear weighting method is used in the meantime, and the weight of 1 is determined above the mean value of the probability log ratios.

,

here Is the sign symbol probability log ratio for user k Is the mean value of the probability log ratios.

As described above, a weight determination method using an error probability is shown in a flowchart in FIG. 6, and as shown in the drawing, first, with a determined value b ^* _k of an information bit using a soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The information bit probability log ratio is estimated and generated as reliability information of the bit, but the measurement of the signal-to-interference power ratio of the received signal is excluded (S601). The information bit probability log ratio is converted into a code symbol probability log ratio (S602). Next, after analyzing and estimating the meaning of the code symbol probability log ratio (S603), the weight for each symbol is determined based on the estimation of the code symbol probability log ratio (S604), and then weighted parallel interference is removed based on the determined weight. Weighted PIC).

As described in detail above, the effects of the demodulation device and method of the code division multiple access receiver according to the present invention will be described.

First, a simulation was performed to evaluate the performance. Several assumptions have been made as simulation parameters. In the spreading sequence, a random sequence was assigned to each user. The spreading factor was 24. The demodulation at the receiver assumes that the channel is fully known and performs coherent demodulation.

7 shows the distribution of the probability log ratios. Here, it can be seen that as the signal-to-noise power ratio increases, the distribution approaches the Gaussian distribution. In FIG. 8, the bit error rate is measured and displayed as a function of the probability log ratio and the probability log ratio. It can be seen that the bit error rate decreases exponentially as the probability log ratio increases. It can be seen that the bit error rate becomes very small above the mean value of the probability log ratio, and thus has little effect on the weight determination value. In FIG. 8, LLR represents a log-likelihood ratio.

9 and 10 show the performance in the additive white Gaussian channel and Rayleigh channel, respectively. First, it can be seen that the performance of the parallel interference canceller in the Gaussian channel is worse than that of the matched filter detector. This is a characteristic of the parallel interference canceller, which means that the performance of the first stage symbol decision becomes poor when there are many errors. In the Gaussian channel model used, all the user's signals reach the receiver in the same phase, which is the worst channel in terms of interference signals. After decoding, the performance of the parallel interference canceller (Elezabi: 95) and the weighted parallel interference canceller (Shan: 98) with experimental weights is greatly improved compared to the matched filter detector. In the low signal-to-noise ratio environment, the parallel interferometer after decoding and the weighted parallel interference canceller with experimental weights are similar, but the weighted parallel interference canceller using probability log ratio is excellent at E _b / N _o = 7dB or higher. It can be seen. 9 and 10, conventional is a conventional detector, PIC is a parallel interference cancellation detector, WPIC is a weighted parallel interference cancellation detector, PDPIC is a post-decoding parallel Post-decoding parallel interference cancellation detector, SWPIC-EP is symbol-by-symbol weighted parallel interference cancellation detector based on error probability, SWPIC-LLR is probability It represents a symbol-by-symbol weighted parallel interference cancellation detector based on log-likelihood ratio.

In the Rayleigh channel, the method using the error probability is slightly better than the method using the probability log ratio. In terms of complexity, there is a problem that the signal-to-interference power ratio must be measured when the error probability is used, and a mean value of the probability log ratio has to be measured by using the probability log ratio.

As a whole, when evaluating the performance, the weighted parallel interference canceller that determines the weight according to the symbol reliability in the channel deteriorated by the interference signal, that is, the present invention is superior to the performance of the conventional post-decoding parallel interference canceller and obtained experimentally. Better or similar to weighted parallel interference canceller with weight.
