Pre-mapping Unit for SC-FDMA Multiple-Antenna Signal Processing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current multiple-antenna signal processing systems in SC-FDMA systems face challenges in maintaining low Peak Average Power Ratio (PAPR) while achieving high diversity and multiplexing gains, as non-linear multiple-antenna processing disrupts data linearity and affects PAPR characteristics.
Innovation Solution
A pre-mapping processing unit is introduced to map input data streams before the DFT processing, allowing for pre-mapping based on the current multiple-antenna processing mode, which minimizes linearity destruction and maintains PAPR characteristics by performing specific mapping modes such as CDD, weighting, or interleaving, thereby enabling larger diversity and multiplexing gains.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If non-linear multiple-antenna processing is applied between DFT and IFFT, then diversity gain and multiplexing gain are improved, but PAPR characteristics are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing the multiple-antenna processing operation before the DFT processing, rather than after. This reordering ensures that the non-linear processing occurs on the time-domain signal before transformation to frequency domain, thereby maintaining PAPR characteristics while still achieving diversity and multiplexing gains through the non-linear operation.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If linear multiple-antenna processing is applied to maintain PAPR, then PAPR characteristics are preserved, but diversity gain and multiplexing gain are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
By moving the multiple-antenna processing to occur before DFT (preliminary action), the system achieves non-linear processing effects that improve diversity and multiplexing gains, while the subsequent DFT and IFFT operations maintain the PAPR characteristics. This resolves the contradiction by achieving both goals through reordering operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple-antenna processing is added between DFT and IFFT, then system functionality is enhanced, but data linearity is destroyed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing multiple-antenna processing before DFT transformation. This ensures that the non-linear processing occurs in the time domain, and the subsequent DFT and IFFT operations restore the signal to frequency domain with preserved linearity characteristics, thus maintaining both enhanced functionality and data linearity.
