Method for generating soft decision measurement in Turbo-STBC system

Abstract

The invention provides a method for generating LLR soft decision measurement in a Turbo-STBC system, wherein the Turbo-STBC system is composed of two transmitting antennas and two receiving antennas. The method is achieved through the fact that an LLR generator module is designed to be arranged on an FPGA. In a Turbo-STBC cascade system, an LLR generator enables baseband signals of a receiving end to be decoded through an STBC decoder and then inputs the baseband signals to an LLR arithmetic unit for calculations, and generated LLR soft decision measurement is used as the input of a follow-up Turbo soft decision decoder for conducting Turbo decoding. When an internal arithmetic module is designed, a parallel arithmetic idea is completely used, and the throughput of the system is improved. A hardware reusing technology is used in the design of the STBC decoder, the arithmetic unit function is guaranteed to be achieved, and meanwhile the consumption to hardware resources of the arithmetic unit is saved. A simple algorithm is used in the design of the LLR arithmetic unit, and compared with a traditional algorithm, the complexity for achieving arithmetic unit hardware is lowered.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, and more particularly relates to a method for realizing the generation of LLR (Log likelihood Ratio, log likelihood ratio) soft decision metric in a Turbo-STBC (Space Time Block Code, space-time block code) system. Background technique [0002] As a channel coding scheme that can approach the Shannon limit, Turbo codes are widely used in wireless communication systems due to their excellent performance. Turbo codes organically combine convolutional codes and random interleavers to achieve random coding. The decoder passes Using soft-input and soft-output iterative decoding to approximate maximum likelihood decoding can obtain higher decoding gain. [0003] STBC is a transmit diversity coding method commonly used in MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) multi-antenna systems. There is a big improvement. In the Turbo-STBC cascaded system, the transmitting end encodes the modulated da...
