Abstract

An equalizer of a radio receiver for generating reliability information (q) that specifies probabilities of a received data symbol (z) being based on a particular transmitted value. The reliability information (q) is determined for each received data symbol (z) by evaluating trellis state transitions through use of a particular metric, both trellis-based symbols and decision-feedback symbols being evaluated. The decision-feedback symbols used are state-independent symbols that have previously been decided by means of a hard decision.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for generating reliability information for a channel decoder in a radio receiver, in particular a mobile radio receiver, and to a corresponding receiver. Background technique

[0002] Transmission channels in mobile radio systems are characterized by their time-dependent multipath reception, which in digital transmission systems leads to intersymbol interference. In order to be able to control such inter-symbol interference, the received data needs to be equalized at the receiving end. At the sending end, due to the rapidly changing transmission conditions, and in order to suppress the interference of adjacent channels and co-channels, the data to be sent is sent by means of interleaving and channel coding.

[0003] In order to perform channel decoding at the receiving end, it is necessary to have information specifying the reliability of the equalization performed by the equalizer. This reliability information is in...

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Relevant theoretical explanations which form the basis of the present invention can be found in the documents cited above, namely "Optimum and Sub-optimum Detection of Coded Data Disturbed by Time-Varying Intersymbol Interference" by Wolfgang Koch and Alfred Baier, 1990 IEEE, with particular reference to figure 1 The transmission model of the mobile radio system shown in figure 1 A mobile radio transmitter 1 and a mobile radio receiver 7 communicating with each other via a channel 6 are shown in .

[0018] In the transmitter 1, the information to be sent, such as speech information, is first converted into a digital signal by a source coder 2, that is, a sequence of symbols '1' and '0', and the source code data word or data vector b Form output, a single symbol or symbol has the value '1' or '0' in each case. The channel encoder 3 maps each data word into a code word C, and uses an interleaver 4 to replace, ie interleave, these symbols. Ideally interleaving is perform...
