The invention relates to a
signal detecting method for a multi-antenna two-way
relay channel. The method is characterized in that a
physical layer network coding technology is adopted in the multi-antenna two-way
relay channel, and the
bit error rate of a
system is reduced by adopting a combined detection and
interference elimination algorithm and a combined modulation and
demodulation scheme at a
relay node. According to the combined detection and
interference elimination algorithm, the conventional least mean-
square error detection
algorithm is applied to the multi-antenna two-way relay
system, and the estimated value of source node transmitting signals, which is obtained by detection, is subjected to parallel
interference elimination, so that mutual interference between the source node transmitting signals can be furthest reduced. In addition, a new combined modulation
constellation mapping scheme is proposed at the relay node according to the modulation
modes of two source nodes and based on the
constellation point design criteria of minimum
Euclidean distance maximization. Compared with a relay node
signal processing scheme for completing information combination by using xor operation, the method under the asymmetrical transmission mode that different modulation
modes are adopted at the two source nodes has the advantages that the minimum
Euclidean distance between relay node
broadcasting signals is prolonged, the
bit error rate of the
system is reduced, and the transmission reliability of a two-way cooperative communication system is improved.
