Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a constellation based on positive four-pyramid splicing and a shaping design method and system thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development of communication technology, especially in the field of optical communication and wireless communication, the demand for higher data rate and lower bit error rate is increasing. In order to realize efficient data transmission, constellation design becomes a key link in the modulation scheme. Due to the limitation of space utilization, the traditional two-dimensional constellation design is difficult to further improve the anti-noise performance and spectral efficiency, so three-dimensional and higher-dimensional constellation structures are gradually introduced into the communication system. Compared with two-dimensional constellation, three-dimensional constellation can utilize more spatial degrees of freedom, and improve the anti-interference ability and transmission performance of the system by reasonably distributing constellation points. However, the complexity of three-dimensional constellation design also increases the difficulty of design and optimization, especially in improving system gain and reducing bit error rate, there are still many challenges.

[0003] In constellation design, the minimum Euclidean distance is an important indicator to measure the anti-noise performance of the constellation, and a larger minimum Euclidean distance can effectively improve the anti-interference ability of the communication system and reduce the bit error rate. Although three-dimensional constellation can increase the spatial degrees of freedom, when the number of constellation points increases, the minimum Euclidean distance between points decreases, and the reliability of the system also decreases, resulting in that the constellation figure of merit (CFM) is still not high enough, which limits the further improvement of the performance of the communication system. Therefore, how to reasonably distribute the constellation points in three-dimensional space to increase the minimum Euclidean distance becomes the key to improving the performance of the communication system.

[0004] Geometric shaping (GS) is a method of optimizing the geometric position of constellation points to improve the performance of the constellation. Through geometric shaping, the minimum Euclidean distance can be increased, and the CFM can be improved. In the existing three-dimensional constellation design, although some have combined probabilistic shaping (PS) to optimize the distribution of constellation points, the overall effect is limited, and the CFM has not reached the ideal level. In addition, there is a lack of global optimization of the overall position of the constellation, resulting in that the system performance cannot achieve the optimal. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a constellation based on positive four-pyramid splicing and a shaping design method and system thereof, which solves the problems in the prior art.

[0006] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0016] Further, the entire constellation is offset by 0.2722d and -0.0481d in x and y directions respectively.

[0017] Further, the probability distribution of the constellation point is determined by the following formula:

[0018]

[0019] In the formula, P x(x) represents the probability distribution of constellation point x, v is a non-negative scaling factor used to adjust the constellation shaping degree and the information entropy of the modulation scheme, when v = 0, the probability distribution of the constellation point is uniform, and the information entropy reaches the maximum value, and when v > 0, the probability distribution gradually converges to the low information entropy direction; |x| 2 represents the power of the constellation point x; is a normalization factor used to ensure that the sum of all constellation point probabilities is 1; X is the set of all constellation points; x represents a constellation point in the current constellation; x' represents a constellation point in the constellation set X, used for normalization calculation.

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] As shown in Figure 1 , a constellation design method based on regular tetrahedron splicing includes the following steps:

[0037] S1, constructing a regular tetrahedron splicing structure;

[0038] As shown in Figure 1 (a), four regular tetrahedrons are constructed with the origin O as the vertex, the bottom surface of the first regular tetrahedron is composed of the vertices A1, B1, B2 and A2, and the length of the bottom surface and each waist is 2d. Similarly, the other three regular tetrahedrons are also formed by different four vertices and the origin O, and the side surfaces are connected to each other to jointly form a regular tetrahedron splicing structure around the origin O. For the other three regular tetrahedrons, the structure is specifically:

[0039] The bottom surface of the second regular tetrahedron is composed of the vertices B1, B2, C2 and C1, and the length of the bottom surface and each waist is 2d; the bottom surface of the third regular tetrahedron is composed of the vertices C1, C2, D2 and D1, and the length of the bottom surface and each waist is 2d; and the bottom surface of the fourth regular tetrahedron is composed of the vertices D1, D2, E2 and E1, and the length of the bottom surface and each waist is 2d.

[0040] Through this geometric layout, two pentagons A1B1C1D1E1 and A2B2C2D2E2 are formed, which are not standard regular pentagons, the vertical distance between the origin O and the two pentagons is d, and the distance between A1 and E1 and the distance between A2 and E2 is 2.1773d.

[0041] S2, constructing the symmetry points F and G of the origin O;

[0042] As shown in (b) of FIG. 1, Figure 1 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1,

[0043] S3, constructing the symmetry points J, K, L of the O point;

[0044] As shown in (c) of FIG. 1, Figure 1 As shown in (c) of FIG. 1,

[0045] S4, offsetting the entire constellation by 0.2722d and -0.0481d in the x and y directions respectively, so that the geometric center of the constellation returns to the origin O.

[0046] The geometric shaping design of the constellation is completed through S1-S4, and through the above geometric construction, the number of point pairs satisfying the minimum Euclidean distance is maximized, a total of 47 pairs, ensuring that the constellation points are uniformly distributed in the three-dimensional space, reducing the average power of the whole, thereby greatly improving the constellation gain index CFM.

[0047] The constellation gain index calculation formula is known as:

[0048]

[0049] Where d min is the minimum Euclidean distance between constellation points, P avg is the average power of the constellation points, and the calculation method is the average of the square of the distance of all constellation points from the origin.

[0050] It can be calculated that the CFM of the traditional three-dimensional constellation with a regular hexahedron as a primitive is 0.4726, the CFM of the regular quadrangular pyramid spliced constellation structure designed by the application before overall translation is 0.8981, and the CFM after translation is 0.9138. Compared with the traditional regular hexahedron primitive three-dimensional constellation, it is improved by 0.4412, which can greatly reduce the bit error rate of the communication system under the same power.

[0051] After the positions of the 16 constellation points are determined, the constellation points are mapped in the application, and the bits carrying digital information are mapped into 16 serial numbers, and one serial number contains 4 bits. Since there are more adjacent point pairs in the constellation designed by the application, the Hamming distance of any adjacent symbols that cannot be completely Gray mapped is 1, so the total Hamming distance of the system is minimized, and the total difference between adjacent bits of the whole system is minimized, so that the bit error rate is minimized under the same symbol error rate. The system of the application also adopts probability shaping, and the probability of the points in the constellation close to the origin is greater than that of the points far from the origin, so the priority is allocated according to the distance, and the Hamming distance of the central point is minimized in priority. The mapping rule is shown in Table 1 and Figure 2

[0052] Table 1: Coordinates of constellation points and mapping bits

[0053]

[0054] S5, according to the geometric positions of the constellation points in the constellation structure, the transmission probability of the constellation points is optimized to realize probability shaping of the constellation points;

[0055] After the geometric shaping of the three-dimensional constellation is completed, the transmission probability of the constellation points is further optimized by the probability shaping technology to reduce the bit error rate and improve the transmission performance of the system. Specifically, for each constellation point in the three-dimensional constellation structure, first, based on the geometric position of the constellation point in the three-dimensional space, the influence of the constellation point on the overall system performance is evaluated. In order to better improve the system energy efficiency and increase the communication reliability, the application selectively allocates higher transmission probability to the constellation points close to the origin, thereby effectively reducing the bit error rate.

[0056] The transmission probability distribution of the constellation points is determined by the following formula:

[0057]

[0058] where P x (x) represents the probability distribution of the constellation point x. v is a non-negative scaling factor used to adjust the constellation shaping degree and the information entropy of the modulation scheme. When v = 0, the probability distribution of the constellation point is uniform, and the information entropy reaches the maximum value. When v > 0, the probability distribution gradually converges to the low information entropy direction. |x| 2 represents the power of the constellation point x. is a normalization factor used to ensure that the sum of the probabilities of all constellation points is 1. X is the set of all constellation points. x represents a constellation point in the current constellation diagram. x' ∈ X represents a constellation point in the constellation point set X, which is used for normalization calculation.

[0059] The following table lists the information entropy and constellation gain index corresponding to different v values.

[0060] ​Table 2 Influence of different probability shaping parameters on constellation information entropy and gain index

[0061]

[0062] As can be seen from Table 2, through probability shaping, the transmission probability of constellation points is reasonably optimized, and compared with the constellation without probability shaping, the system after probability shaping has higher reliability and anti-interference ability. This optimization ensures that the system is closer to the Shannon limit under the same power condition, meeting the demand of modern optical communication and wireless communication systems for efficient and reliable data transmission.

[0063] Based on the similar inventive concept, the embodiment of the application also provides a computer storage medium, which stores a readable program, and when the program runs, the operation of the above-mentioned constellation shaping design method based on the splicing of regular tetrapods can be performed.
