Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional OFDM MIMO systems with one column rotation for multiple antennas do not fully utilize diversity gain in correlated channels, and are inflexible in accommodating different channel coding and modulation schemes across spatial streams.
Innovation Solution
Implementing multiple column rotations and additional row rotations in the interleaver design, along with frequency rotation, to enhance diversity and flexibility in bit stream interleaving across spatial streams, allowing for improved separation of adjacent bits and better channel utilization.

1Ease of manufacture
If one column rotation is used for multiple antennas transmission, then the implementation is simple, but the diversity gain is not fully utilized in correlated channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the conventional single column rotation to multiple column rotations combined with row rotations, adding dimensional complexity to the interleaving process. This multi-dimensional rotation approach separates adjacent bits across both column and row indices, mapping them to more dispersed subcarriers and spatial streams, thereby fully utilizing diversity gain in correlated channels while maintaining implementation feasibility through systematic rotation patterns.
2Device complexity
If conventional block interleaver with fixed permutation is used, then the structure is simple, but it is inflexible in accommodating different channel coding and modulation schemes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces dynamic adaptability to the interleaver by allowing different rotation patterns and parameters to be applied based on the specific channel coding and modulation schemes being used. The interleaver can adjust its rotation behavior dynamically to match different spatial stream configurations, enabling flexible accommodation of various coding rates, modulation orders, and spatial multiplexing schemes without requiring complete redesign of the interleaver structure.
3Ease of operation
If adjacent coded bits are mapped to adjacent subcarriers, then the mapping is straightforward, but diversity gain is reduced in fading channels
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by separating adjacent coded bits through multiple rotation operations that distribute them across different column and row positions in the interleaver matrix. This segmentation prevents adjacent bits from being mapped to adjacent subcarriers, ensuring that bits experiencing fading on one subcarrier are not all affected simultaneously. The systematic rotation pattern achieves this dispersion while maintaining a structured approach to bit mapping.

AI summary
A MIMO wireless system includes a transmitter having a parser that parses a bit stream into multiple spatial data streams and multiple interleavers corresponding to the multiple spatial data streams, where each interleaver interleaves the bits in the corresponding spatial data stream by performing frequency rotation after an interleaving operation, to increase diversity of the wireless system. The MIMO wireless system also includes a receiver that has deinterleavers that deinterleaves spatial bit streams transmitted by the transmitter.
