项目摘要

In this research, space-time coding and MIMO channel transmission are investigated in order to further improve the spectral efficiency of radio communication systems. In these techniques, multiple co-channel signals are transmitted at the same time from different transmitting antennas. This transmission technique offers diversity effect when the signals carry the same information; otherwise this scheme improves the spectral efficiency by simultaneous radiation of multiple signals modulated by different information. The trellis-coded co-channel interference canceller (TCC), which is proposed by our research group, is a form of space-time coding and MIMO channel transmission in multiuser communication scenarios. In this research, the number of antennas assumed in TCC is enlarged to extend the TCC to a more aggressive MIMO transmission scenario. Then the signal processing technique and coding technique areinvestigated for MIMO-TCC. Also inlab experiments using RF equipments are conducted to confirm the performance of the TCC. The major results of this research are as follows:1) In spatial multiplexing systems, TCC can outperform the well-known BLAST scheme because the TCC is based on the optimum signal processing approach, even when the complexity of TCC is reduced.2) TCC is confirmed to be robust against correlation among receiving antennas owing to its trellis coding technique.3) The coding scheme for TCC has much space to improve. In this research, new coding scheme is found to lower the bit error rate.4) The computational complexity of the TCC can be greatly reduced with a small penalty of performance.5) With channel estimation, TCC outperforms space-time coding, which offers good diversity gain by the multiple transmission of the same information.6) In-lab experiments of TCC are conducted, and the results agree well with that of computer simulations.

本研究对空时编码和MIMO信道传输进行了研究，以进一步提高无线电通信系统的频谱效率。在这些技术中，从不同的发射天线同时发射多个同信道信号。当信号携带相同信息时，这种传输技术可以提供分集效应；另外，该方案通过同时辐射由不同信息调制的多个信号来提高频谱效率。我们课题组提出的网格编码同信道干扰消除器（TCC）是多用户通信场景中空时编码和MIMO信道传输的一种形式。在本研究中，TCC中假设的天线数量被扩大，以将TCC扩展到更激进的MIMO传输场景。然后研究了MIMO-TCC的信号处理技术和编码技术。此外，还使用 RF 设备进行了实验室实验，以确认 TCC 的性能。本研究的主要结果如下：1）在空间复用系统中，TCC 可以优于众所周知的 BLAST 方案，因为 TCC 基于最佳信号处理方法，即使降低了 TCC 的复杂度。2）TCC由于其网格编码技术，被证实对接收天线之间的相关性具有鲁棒性。3）TCC 的编码方案还有很大的改进空间。在这项研究中，发现了新的编码方案可以降低误码率。4) TCC 的计算复杂度可以大大降低，而性能损失很小。5) 通过信道估计，TCC 的性能优于空时编码，这提供了相同信息的多次传输可以获得良好的分集增益。6)对TCC进行了室内实验，结果与计算机模拟结果吻合较好。
