Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of wireless communications, and relates to a design method of a MIMO-OFDM system, and in particular to a low-complexity design method of a MIMO-OFDM system with a constant peak-to-average power ratio. Background Art

[0002] Massive multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology is considered one of the key technologies in 5G. Massive antenna array technology can adapt to MIMO systems, thereby improving the spatial freedom of wireless channels and bringing higher data rates and transmission reliability. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an important multi-carrier modulation technology. By decomposing broadband channels into several independent narrowband channels, it can effectively solve the problem of frequency selective fading. Combining OFDM technology with MIMO systems can give full play to the advantages of both, achieving faster communication rates and higher spectrum utilization. This system has been identified as a reliable technology for future generations of wireless communications.

[0003] However, as a multi-carrier technology, OFDM is prone to large signal envelope fluctuations when the spectrum of each carrier is the same or similar, which in turn leads to a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the signal. High peak-to-average power ratio signals usually require power amplifiers with large feedback, which increases the complexity of analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters, and also places high requirements on the linearity of the amplifier in the transmitter, which may cause signal distortion, change the signal spectrum, and seriously deteriorate the performance of the system. When applying massive multi-user MIMO (MMU-MIMO) technology to engineering practice, base stations must use low-power RF links and low-power and power-efficient RF power amplifiers, which requires the transmitted signal to have a low PAPR. In order to meet the two requirements of using low-power and power-efficient power amplifiers and reducing interference between multiple users in MMU-MIMO technology, it is urgent to use more effective methods to reduce the PAPR of the system. Summary of the invention

After reading the present invention, various equivalent forms of modifications to the present invention by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0113] The present invention provides a low-complexity design method for a MIMO-OFDM system with a constant peak-to-average power ratio, comprising the following steps:

[0114] S1: For a given base station configuration, define the subcarrier set and signal vector used for data transmission;

[0115] Reference Figure 1 , assume that the base station is configured with M transmitting antennas to serve K single-antenna mobile users, and K<<M, the number of OFDM subcarriers is N, and the signal vector s n ∈Θ K Contains information transmitted to K users, n = 1, 2, ..., N is the OFDM carrier index, Θ is the complex-valued constellation set, s n,k ∈Θ represents the symbol sent to user k on carrier n; the subcarrier set used for data transmission is defined as Γ, and its complementary set Γ c Used for band protection, that is, when n∈Γ c When there is a signal vector s n =0 K×1 .

[0116] S2: Process the signal vector to obtain a frequency domain transmission signal;

[0117] Signal vector s n First, N precoding vectors are generated by using a precoder designed based on the mean square error minimization criterion. n∈1,2,...,N,for a n Normalization is performed to obtain the normalized precoding vector w n , reorder them according to the direction from the user to the transmitting antenna, and obtain the frequency domain transmitted signal [x1,…,x m ]=P[w1,…,w n ], where P represents the corresponding sorting matrix, and the N-dimensional vector x m It is the frequency domain signal transmitted from the mth transmitting antenna.

[0118] S3: Obtain a time domain transmit signal by performing an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) on the frequency domain transmit signal, and define a baseband transmit signal after OFDM modulation by adding a cyclic prefix (CP) to the time domain transmit signal;

[0119] Frequency domain transmitted signal x m Perform inverse discrete Fourier transform to obtain the time domain transmission signal y m , that is, y m =IDFT(x m ), for the time domain transmitted signal y m Adding CP, the frequency domain signal vector received by the receiver is expressed as: n =H n w n +b n , n = 1, ..., N, where r nis the nth received signal vector, H n represents the channel matrix of the nth subcarrier of MIMO-OFDM, b n is an independent and identically distributed complex Gaussian noise, each of which has a mean of O and a variance of N0;

[0127]

[0128] In actual systems, the complementary cumulative distribution function is used to measure the performance of PAPR, which is defined as:

[0129] CCDF(α)=Pr{PAPR>α} (4)

[0130] Among them, α represents the PAPR threshold value specified by the system, Pr represents the probability that the PAPR exceeds the threshold value, and N is the number of subcarriers of the OFDM signal. The purpose of reducing the PAPR of the transmitted signal is to make the high-power amplifier at the transmitting end always work within its linear range, thereby reducing the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier to ensure that the signal at the receiving end has a better bit error rate.

[0131] S5: By exploiting the degrees of freedom provided by the massive antenna array configured on the base station, a non-convex optimization problem including OFDM modulation, multi-user (MU) precoding, multi-user interference (MUI) and PAPR constraints is constructed and solved;

[0197]

[0198] The method of CPAPR-LADMM algorithm to solve non-convex optimization problems can be summarized as follows:

[0209] C11: End While;

[0210] C12: Output the optimal solution of optimization problem (9): x k+1 .

[0211] Based on the above scheme, in order to verify the effect of the method of the present invention, this embodiment conducts a simulation experiment of the algorithm, uses the software MATLAB to perform simulation, and verifies the theoretical analysis. The specific simulation results and analysis are as follows:

[0212] like Figure 2 The comparison diagram of reducing the PAPR of the transmitted signal under different methods and different iteration times shows that the CPAPR-LADMM algorithm designed by the present invention achieves a PAPR of 2dB. Compared with LADMM, FITRA, APGM, PADMM, ZF and MF precoding, CPAPR-LADMM can improve the performance by 0.2dB, 0.8dB, 0.8dB, 2.4dB, 11.1dB and 11.1dB respectively. More importantly, the CCDF curve of CPAPR-LADMM shows obvious cutoff characteristics, which means that based on the CPAPR-LADMM method provided by the present invention, the optimal solution to problem (9) can be solved, so as to obtain a transmitted signal with a constant PAPR (the threshold value specified by the system) and meeting the system power requirements. Therefore, this method can effectively suppress the increase of the PAPR value, thereby avoiding the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier and the degradation of SER performance caused by excessively high PAPR values. However, for other methods such as LADMM, FITRA, APGM, PADMM, ZF, and MF precoding, this cutoff feature is clearly missing in their CCDF curves.

[0213] like Figure 3 The SER effect diagram of different methods is shown. -3 When the SNR performance of the CPAPR-LADMM algorithm is about 0.05 dB compared with the ideal linear ZF precoding, the algorithm of the present invention achieves 2.55 dB, 3.15 dB, 3.35 dB and 5.15 dB improvement compared with LADMM, FITRA, APGM and PADMM, respectively. In particular, the ZF and MF precoding methods lack PAPR optimization, resulting in severe nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier and unacceptable SER performance.

[0214] From the above simulation experiments, it can be seen that the CPAPR-LADMM algorithm has lower complexity and faster convergence speed. Only a small number of iterations are needed to obtain lower SER and better PAPR suppression effect. Therefore, the CPAPR-LADMM method is more efficient than other existing methods and is more conducive to application in actual engineering.
