- With the rapid development of the wireless communication techniques, the wireless broadband and high speed data transmission has been a primary requirement of the next generation mobile communication system. For these objects, the space resource will be employed (i.e. multiple antennas are used at the transmitting end and the receiving end to improve the system performance). Therefore, it is very important to discuss the related multi-path, multi-input, multi-output channel and develop the Space-time Processing algorithm. On the other hand, multi-wave orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation transmission is an extremely preferable technique for resisting the frequency selective fading resulted form outdoor multiple path effect. But since the OFDM technique means composing all subcarrier data transmissions, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the dynamic range are too large, causing the problems of quantization distortion of analog/digital converter, digital/analog converter and radio frequency power amplifier, which influence the performance.
- In view of the above, the present invention is directed to a MIMO-CDMA wireless communication equipment, which has a higher range of dynamic flexible adjustment based on the change of the environment, and provides higher power efficiency and low transmitter complexity.
- The present invention is further directed to a pre-verifying method for software/hardware design of communication system, to verify the correctness of the algorithm developed for communication system rapidly.
- The present invention provides a MIMO-CDMA wireless communication equipment including a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes an encoder for receiving and encoding a plurality of transmission data, and then sending them to a QPSK unit. The QPSK unit conducts QPSK modulating to an output of the encoder and sends it to a space-time block coding (STBC) unit to conduct space-time coding. Furthermore, a plurality of data frame generating modules generate a data frame respectively based on the output of the STBC unit, a plurality of preamble codes generated by a preamble code spreading unit, a pilot code and a cyclic prefix (CP). The data frames are sent to the receiver via a transmitting antenna respectively.
- From another point of view, the present invention further provides a MIMO-CDMA wireless communication equipment including a transmitter and a receiver as the same. The transmitter also includes an encoder for receiving and encoding a plurality of transmission data, and then sending the data to a QPSK unit, except that the QPSK unit conducts QPSK modulating to an output of the encoder and sends it to a space multiplexer to conduct space coding. Then, a plurality of data frame generating modules generate a data frame respectively based on the output of the space multiplexer, a plurality of preamble codes generated by a preamble code spreading unit, a pilot code and a cyclic prefix. The data frames are also sent to the receiver via a transmitting antenna respectively.
- In the embodiment of the present invention, the receiver includes a plurality of receiving antennas for receiving the data frames from each corresponding transmitting antenna respectively, and sending them correspondingly to a plurality of radio frequency units respectively, to conduct frequency reducing to the received data frames. Furthermore, a plurality of estimation modules are coupled correspondingly to the radio frequency units respectively, for estimating a time parameter, a frequency parameter and a channel parameter of the frequency reduced data frame, and removing the cyclic prefix. And a decision demodulating module receives the output of each estimation module to conduct data spreading to the data frame passed through the estimation module, so as to conduct space-time block decoding or interference eliminating, and send the data frame to a decoder to revert the original transmission data.
- From another point of view, the present invention provides a pre-verifying method for software/hardware design of communication system adapted to verify the communication system having a transmitter and a receiver. The present invention includes simulating the process of sending a data frame from the transmitter to the receiver with a transceiver algorithm meeting a preset specification, so as to obtain plurality of simulation parameters; and then, planning the transmitter hardware platform to send the data frame via an antenna. The transmitter hardware platform has programs meeting the above preset specification. Furthermore, the receiver hardware platform is planned to receive the echo signal of the data frame and compare each parameter of this echo signal to the above simulation parameters. At this time, verifying the result of comparing various parameters of the above echo signal and the simulation parameters is within a desired range or not. When the result of comparing various parameters of the above echo signal and the simulation parameters is not in a desired range, the above transceiver algorithm will be adjusted. Otherwise, if the result of comparing various parameters of the above echo signal and the simulation parameters is in a desired range, the transceiver algorithm will be converted to a hardware program language format to be written in a programmable module to perform the action of the transmitter and the receiver.
- Since the wireless communication equipment provided in the present invention employs the MIMO-CDMA technique, and it is a single wave time-space domain spreading technique, the signal dynamic range is not large, and the occupancy to digital/analog converter or digital/analog converter bit number is not large, therefore, a high dynamic flexible adjustment range can be obtained according to the change of the environment. Furthermore, since the single wave is not sensitive to the non-linearity of the radio frequency power amplifier, the present invention has the advantage of higher power efficiency and low transmitter complexity.

decision unit 601 will be sent to theQPSK demodulation unit 603, to convert the output of thedecision unit 601 back to the QPSK symbol.

Tool Box, and after the simulated base frequency signal is sampled and pulse shaped, the transmission signal of band-pass radio frequency is simulated under the equivalent base frequency I/Q model.

- After the step S701 is completed, the present invention proceeds to step S703, that is, planning the transmitter hardware platform, to actually send out the data frame via an antenna. Then, as described in step S705, plan the receiver hardware platform to receive the echo signal of the data frame sent by the transmitter, and compare each of the parameters of the echo signal and the above simulation parameters, so as to verify whether the result of comparing each of the parameters of the echo signal and the above simulation parameters is within a desired range or not, as described in step S709.
- When the result of comparing each of the parameters of the echo signal and the above simulation parameters does not fall within the desired range (“NO” indicated in step S709), the content of the above transceiver algorithm needs to be adjusted such that it can meet the desired better effect, as described in step S711.
- Contrarily, When the result of comparing each of the parameters of the echo signal and the above simulation parameters fall in the desired range (“YES” indicated in step S709), the transceiver algorithm is converted to a hardware language, e.g. Verilog or VHDL and the like as described in step S713, such that it can be written into a programmable module to perform the action of the transmitter and the receiver as described in step S715.
