Abstract
A system and a method for transmitting coded information bits using multitone techniques on a frame-by-frame basis. For transmission, coded information bits are mapped into differential phase signals and absolute phase signals are generated based on differential phase signals. N complex symbols are then generated and inverse discrete Fourier transformed into N complex, time-domain samples, which are augmented with a cyclic prefix and suffix. The augmented N complex, time-domain samples are then separated into two real samples and converted into first and second baseband signals. The first and second baseband signals are impressed into quadrature carrier components to form in-phase and quadrature signal components which are combined into an RF signal prior to transmission. For reception, a received RF signal is non-coherently quadrature demodulated into first and second quadrature baseband signals. First and second quadrature sample sequences are generated by sampling the quadrature baseband signals in parallel. The added cyclic prefix and suffix are discarded, and N complex numbers are generated from the first and second quadrature (real) sample sequences. N channel-weighted tones are generated by performing a discrete Fourier transform on the N complex numbers. N phase difference signals are generated which are demapped into coded information bits according to a predetermined phase constellation.
Description
CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 An FFT-Based Multitone DPSK Modem 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and a method for digital modulation and demodulation using FFT-based multitone concepts.
2. Description of the Related Art Intersymbol interference distorts the signal content of a transmitted signal, possibly resulting in severe information tr~n~mi~ion errors. Intersymbol interference arises from channel distortion, multipath spread, and/or sampling offset, and places 15 significant design constraints on transmitting and receiving filters. The effects of intersymbol interference increase with increasing tr~n~mi~sion speed and, consequently, cause a major impediment for broadband high-speed transmission, especially for wireless multimedia in which multipath signal components are frequently produced.
Multipath components are combined in a Code Division Multiple Access 2 0 (CDMA) rake receiver used for wireless communications, but frequently the spread of the multipath components is comparable to, or larger than, the symbol interval, thus giving rise to substantial intersymbol interference. Another conventional approach for minimi7ing intersymbol interference is by using sophisticated channel equalization techniques.
What is needed is a way to avoid intersymbol interference without using 2 5 channel equalization in high-speed broadband networks.
CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 SUMMARY OF T~F INVE~TION
The present invention provides a system and a method providing intersymbol interference free communication without using a channel equalizer. In so doing, the present invention relaxes design constraints with respect to transmitting and 5 receiving filters, as well as with respect to receiver timing accuracy. The present invention effectively separates overlapped symbols caused by channel distortion occurring, for example, in wired media, and caused by multipath spread occurring, for example, in wireless environments. Coded information is carried by a plurality of tones thusalleviating frequency selective fading. The present invention elimin~tes baseband filter 10 introduced intersymbol interference and provides desirable signal characteristics, such as a small out-of-band spillover and a fast tail decay. Transmitting and receiving filter design constraints are eased because the respective filter impulse responses can span several symbols in numerous forms. Receiver timing sensitivity is also greatly reduced. Carrier phase estimation and/or channel response estimation is not necessary because the present 15 invention uses differential phase detection. And since multitone modulation and demodulation is realized through a fast Fourier transform, hardware implementation is relatively simple. The invention is especially useful for packetized broadband high-speed tr~ncmicsion, which most notably experiences the detrimental effects noted above.
The advantages of the present invention are provided by a system and a 2 0 method for transmitting coded information bits using multitone techniques. According to the invention, coded information bits are transmitted on a frame-by-frame basis. Each frame of the coded information bits is mapped into N differential phases by parsing the frame into N groups of bits, with each group of bits having a predetermined number of coded information bits. An absolute phase set is generated for each frame based on the 2 5 differential phase set for the current frame and the absolute phase set for the preceding frame. A serial stream of N complex symbols is generated for each frame based on the sequence of N absolute phases for the frame. N complex, time-domain samples are further generated for each frame by applying an inverse discrete Fourier transform to the N
complex symbols for the frame. The N complex, time-domain samples in each frame are augmented with a cyclic prefix and a cyclic suffix. Preferably, the cyclic prefix has a 5 length that is equal to the length of the cyclic suffix plus the dispersion of the digital channel connected to the multitone modem. The cyclic suffix can be either one or two samples in length. The augmented complex samples are then separated into first and second data sequences for each frame. The first data sequence is a sequence of real samples that are the real part of the complex samples in each frame. The second data 10 sequence is a sequence of real samples that are the im~gin~ry part of the complex sarnples in each frarne. The first and second data sequences are converted into first and second baseband signals, respectively, by a pair of identical D/A converters. In-phase and quadrature signals are formed by performing quadrature modulation with the first and second baseband signals, respectively. The in-phase and quadrature signals are then 15 combined into an RF signal prior to transmission.
To receive coded information bits, a received RF signal is non-coherently quadrature demodulated into first and second quadrature baseband signals. First and second quadrature sample sequences are generated by sampling the first and second quadrature baseband signals in parallel. Any prefix and suffix included with the first and 2 0 second quadrature sarnple sequences in each frame are removed and N complex numbers are generated for each frame by pairing remaining corresponding samples of the first and second quadrature sample sequences. N channel-weighted tones are generated for each frarne by perforrning a discrete Fourier transforrn on the N complex samples in the frame.
A stream of N phase difference signals is generated for each frame based on a comparison 2 5 of the N channel-weighted tones for the frame and a frame preceding the frame. The stream of phase difference signals is then demapped into coded information bits according CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 to a predetermined phase constellation.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the basic functional elements of an FFT-based multitone DPSK modem configured as a transmitter according to the present invention; and Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the basic functional elements of an FFT-based multitone DPSK modem configured as a receiver according to the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The present invention provides a modulation-demodulation (modem) system and method that overcomes intersymbol interference caused by channel distortion and/or multipath spread, or that is intentionally introduced through the transmitting and receiving filter designs for achieving other desired signal characteristics. The present invention does not use channel equalization, as is required for conventional modem 2 0 techniques for preventing severe performance degradation. Moreover, the present invention uses non-coherent quadrature carrier demodulation and converts signals bet~veen carrier and baseband frequencies without requiring an estimate of the carrier phase.
The FFT-based multitone DPSK modem of the present invention transmits coded information sequences frame by frame. Each frame is divided into N groups of bits 2 5 that are first differentially phase encoded and then transformed into N complex symbols on a complex signal plane. The N symbols are carried over the channel by N discrete tones, CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 as realized by an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) performed on the N symbols producing N complex (temporal) samples. Cyclic prefix samples are added to the Ntemporal samples for allowing for time dispersion of the overall communication channel, including any time dispersion introduced by the transmitting filter, the receiving filter, and 5 the transport medium, while at the same time achieving intersymbol interference free signal characteristics. The prefix and suffix samples also permit mistiming in frame synchronization and sampling at a receiver. The complex samples are separated into real and imagin~ry parts, and then impressed into quadrature carrier components prior to RF
tr~n~mi~sion.
A reverse procedure is applied to the received signal. That is, the received signal is down-converted to a baseband signal using non-coherent quadrature demodulation, and then the extended frames are reprocessed using quadrature baseband sampling. The reprocessing removes the cyclic prefix and suffix samples, and theremaining quadrature samples are recombined into N complex numbers. The N
15 multitones, which have been distorted by phase non-coherence, channel response and noise, are recovered using a discrete Fourier transform (DFT). Distortion is essentially elimin~ted by comparing the differential phases of the corresponding tones between two consecutive frames. The transmitted coded information is decoded using the extracted differential phase information. Preferably, both the DFT and IDFT are implemented by an 2 0 N-point fast Fourier transforrn (FFT) algorithm.
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the basic functional elements of an FFT-based multitone DPSK modem according to the invention that is configured as a transmitter for a single bit stream. In Figure 1, a sequence of (trellis) coded information bits 10 are input to an MPSK mapper 11. MPSK mapper 11 maps groups of data bits onto 2 5 M PSK (phase shift keying) constellation points. In particular, the coded information bits are segmented into frames of M bits. (In this case, the size of constellation (M) and the CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 number of bits (M) per frame coincidently use the same symboi M. For purposes of the present invention, the size of constellation M can be different from the number of bits M
per frame.) Each frame of M bits is then parsed into N groups, where the k-th group is assigned m(k) bits, and M = m(O) + m(l) + ... + m(N-1). Each group is separately mapped 5 into a differential phase ~l(k), where k = O, 1,..., N-l, according to a predetermined PSK
constellation.
A differential phase encoder 12 operates on two consecutive frames, i.e., a current frame and a preceding frame, to generate an absolute phase ~,(k) for each group in the current frame. Each absolute phase ~,(k) is then used by a symbol (tone) encoder 13 for 10 generating a complex symbol X,(k), or a discrete tone, on the complex signal plane. A
complex symbol X~(k) equals X~(k)exp~l~,(k)]. The amplitude of X~(k) is chosen for maximi7ing the overall channel capacity or for achieving desired signal-to-noise ratios across the tones. Next, N complex symbols within each frame pass through a serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter 14 and are applied to an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) 15 discrete multitone modulator 15. The N complex syrnbols within each frame are inverse discrete Fourier transformed into N complex samples in the time domain via an FFT.
The N parallel samples in each frame are converted to a serial sequence by a parallel-to-serial (P/S) converter 16, which also adds a cyclic prefix and suffix to each frame and further converts the enlarged complex sample sequence into two real data 2 0 sequences by separating each complex sample into a real part and an im~gin~ry part (RII).
The length of the cyclic suffix is one or two samples, while the length of the cyclic prefix is the length of the cyclic suffix plus the unit-sample response of the overall digital channel including the transmitting and receiving filters as well as the transport medium between the transmitting and receiving filters. The one or two samples added for both prefix and suffix 2 5 allow for a large timing offset in synchronization and sampling at the receiver, while the CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 other samples appended to the prefix enable interframe-free interference, and thus intersymbol-free interference, over a time dispersive channel.
The two real sequences are then passed through two identical lowpass filters 1 7a and 1 7b for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion. Two baseband signals are thus 5 generated, and subsequently they modulate two quadrature carriers at mixers 1 8a and 1 8b.
After quadrature multiplexing, appropl iate power amplification and bandpass filtering at 19, successive (extended) frames are transmitted. The modem of Figure l processes multiple bit streams that have each been associated with distinct tone sets in a similar fashion.
Figure 2 shows a block diagram of the basic functional elements of an FFT-based multitone DPSK modem configured as a receiver according to the present invention.
A received RF signal 20 is bandpass filtered, power arnplified, and split into two components at 21 for non-coherent quadrature demodulation (i.e., frequency down-conversion) at mixers 22a and 22b and lowpass filters 23a and 23b. The resulting15 quadrature baseband components are sampled in parallel by analog-to-digital (A/D) converters 24a and 24b. The output of A/D converters 24a and 24b are input to an S/P &
R/I converter 25, where the two real sample sequences are converted to a complex sample sequence by treating each pair of the real samples as the real part and the imaginary part (R~I) of a complex sample. The samples at the two ends of the extended frame that are 2 0 associated with the added prefix and suffix are discarded here, and the resulting N complex samples within each frame are further organized into a parallel format by a serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter.
The N parallel complex numbers within each frarne are then discrete Fourier transformed via an FFT by discrete multitone demodulator 26 to yield N complex symbols.
2 5 The N complex symbols are the transmitted tones weighted by the exponential of the difference of the locally generated and received carrier phases and by the frequency CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 response of the overall channel at the corresponding tones, and further corrupted by noise.
The N complex symbols pass through a parallel-to-serial (P/S) converter 27, having a serial output that is sent to a frame delay device 28 and a differential phase comparator 29. The output of frame delay device 28 is the input delayed by one frame. Differential phases 5 between the corresponding symbols of two consecutive frames, i.e., the current frame and the preceding frame, are evaluated by differential phase comparator 29 in a well-known manner without having to determine the received carrier phase or the channel frequency response. The extracted differential phase values are mapped back to coded bits by an MPSK demapper 30 for subsequent channel decoding (not shown). Alternatively, the10 MPSK demapper and the channel decoder, such as a Viterbi decoder, may be combined for soft-decision decoding.
While the present invention has been described in connection with the illustrated embodiments, it will be appreciated and understood that modifications may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention.
Multipath components are combined in a Code Division Multiple Access 2 0 (CDMA) rake receiver used for wireless communications, but frequently the spread of the multipath components is comparable to, or larger than, the symbol interval, thus giving rise to substantial intersymbol interference. Another conventional approach for minimi7ing intersymbol interference is by using sophisticated channel equalization techniques.
What is needed is a way to avoid intersymbol interference without using 2 5 channel equalization in high-speed broadband networks.

Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the basic functional elements of an FFT-based multitone DPSK modem according to the invention that is configured as a transmitter for a single bit stream. In Figure 1, a sequence of (trellis) coded information bits 10 are input to an MPSK mapper 11. MPSK mapper 11 maps groups of data bits onto 2 5 M PSK (phase shift keying) constellation points. In particular, the coded information bits are segmented into frames of M bits. (In this case, the size of constellation (M) and the CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 number of bits (M) per frame coincidently use the same symboi M. For purposes of the present invention, the size of constellation M can be different from the number of bits M
per frame.) Each frame of M bits is then parsed into N groups, where the k-th group is assigned m(k) bits, and M = m(O) + m(l) + ... + m(N-1). Each group is separately mapped 5 into a differential phase ~l(k), where k = O, 1,..., N-l, according to a predetermined PSK
constellation.
A differential phase encoder 12 operates on two consecutive frames, i.e., a current frame and a preceding frame, to generate an absolute phase ~,(k) for each group in the current frame. Each absolute phase ~,(k) is then used by a symbol (tone) encoder 13 for 10 generating a complex symbol X,(k), or a discrete tone, on the complex signal plane. A
complex symbol X~(k) equals X~(k)exp~l~,(k)]. The amplitude of X~(k) is chosen for maximi7ing the overall channel capacity or for achieving desired signal-to-noise ratios across the tones. Next, N complex symbols within each frame pass through a serial-to-parallel (S/P) converter 14 and are applied to an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) 15 discrete multitone modulator 15. The N complex syrnbols within each frame are inverse discrete Fourier transformed into N complex samples in the time domain via an FFT.
The N parallel samples in each frame are converted to a serial sequence by a parallel-to-serial (P/S) converter 16, which also adds a cyclic prefix and suffix to each frame and further converts the enlarged complex sample sequence into two real data 2 0 sequences by separating each complex sample into a real part and an im~gin~ry part (RII).
The length of the cyclic suffix is one or two samples, while the length of the cyclic prefix is the length of the cyclic suffix plus the unit-sample response of the overall digital channel including the transmitting and receiving filters as well as the transport medium between the transmitting and receiving filters. The one or two samples added for both prefix and suffix 2 5 allow for a large timing offset in synchronization and sampling at the receiver, while the CA 02213~9 1997-08-21 other samples appended to the prefix enable interframe-free interference, and thus intersymbol-free interference, over a time dispersive channel.
The two real sequences are then passed through two identical lowpass filters 1 7a and 1 7b for digital-to-analog (D/A) conversion. Two baseband signals are thus 5 generated, and subsequently they modulate two quadrature carriers at mixers 1 8a and 1 8b.

The resulting15 quadrature baseband components are sampled in parallel by analog-to-digital (A/D) converters 24a and 24b. The output of A/D converters 24a and 24b are input to an S/P &
