Definitions
- Equalizer with a sequence estimation method with state reduction for a receiver in a digital transmission system.
- the invention relates to a digital transmission system comprising a receiver, which receiver includes an equalizer for estimating transmitted binary symbols from a sequence of sample values of a received signal distorted by a transmission channel by implementing a reduced-state sequence estimation method or reduced-state single symbol estimation method.
- the invention relates to a receiver which includes an equalizer for estimating transmitted binary symbols from a sequence of sample values of a received signal distorted by a transmission channel by implementing a reduced-state sequence estimation method or reduced-state single symbol estimation method.
- Such receivers are used, for example, in digital mobile radio according to the GSM standard.
- digital signals are transmitted in a TDMA method by a GMSK modulation.
- the data transmission is then influenced by a time- variant transmission channel. More particularly, multipath propagation and reflections determine differences of delay and phase shifts for the transmitted digital data symbols in the received signal and lead to a superpositioning of adjacent data symbols.
- the fact that a received signal for a data symbol is influenced by d previous data symbols is known as intersymbol interference (ISI). Then d is an integer defining the memory depth of the transmission channel.
- ISI intersymbol interference
- the receiver For the equalization of the received signal which is linearly distorted as a result of multipath propagation and transmitting-end and receiving-end band limitation filters (intrinsic impulse noise with linear demodulation of the GMSK signal), the receiver is to be adapted, for data reconstruction, to the respective time-variant transmission properties of the transmission channel. Therefore, an estimation is made of the respective impulse response of the currently distorting transmission system, which system comprises not only the transmission channel, but also the influences of the GMSK modulation and a receiver input stage which produces sample values of the received digital signal. For this purpose, a substitute system describing the transmission system is formed, with the aid of which estimated impulse response data are estimated according to the Maximum Likelihood 39550 PC17IB97/00361
- Sequence Estimation (MLSE) method via the execution of a Viterbi algorithm, more particularly, a soft-output Viterbi algorithm, or a single symbol estimation method.
- the most probable transmit sequence is determined from all possible data sequences, while taking into account the received sequence and the estimated impulse response of the transmission system. More particularly the Viterbi algorithm is suitable for estimating the data symbols according to the MLSE method.
- the Viterbi algorithm is known from "The Viterbi algorithm", G.D. Forney, Jr., IEEE Proceedings, vol. 61, pp. 268-278, 1973. Additional information to the hard-decision estimates of data symbols is produced by die Soft-Output Viterbi Algorithm, which is known, for example, from "A Viterbi algorithm with soft-decision outputs and its applications", J. Hagenauer and P.
- the manufacturing costs of the equalizer in a first approximation proportionally rise by 2 d i.e. they rise exponentially with the depth d of the memory of the transmission channel.
- the substitute system actuated by binary symbols which substitute system describes the effect of signal distortions as a result of multipath propagation and the effect of intrinsic impulse noise, is considered a so-called finite state machine or a trellis coder respectively, in whose associated trellis diagram the binary symbol sequences are represented as paths.
- the object of the sequence estimation method is to ⁇ ermine, on the basis of a sequence of sample values of the received signal, the binary symool sequence transmitted most probably.
- the implementation expenditure necessary for this purpose is proportional to the number of memory states of the finite-state machine, which number rises exponentially with the degree of the substitute system and thus with the maximum delay difference in the multipath propagation of the signal.
- the number of states is subdivided into classes for which each state class forms a so- called hyperstate with respect to the sequence estimation method.
- the reliability of the sequence estimation is reduced. More particularly, when the number of states is reduced to a degree necessary for a suitable reduction of the manufacturing costs, the reliability of the sequence estimation becomes inadequate.
- This basic impulse response estimated from the so-called midamble changes during the burst in response to the channel properties, so that the impulse response can neither be assumed to be known at the start nor at the end of the time slot.
- the basic impulse response then has a minimum phase for the forward search in an extreme condition, whereas a maximum-phase channel impulse response occurs during the backward search. In a reduced-state sequence estimation this leads to erroneous detection.
- this object is achieved in that for forming an estimate, a minimum-phase substitute system distorts the sample values received after a known training sequence in the sequence of sample values in the received order, and a maximum-phase substitute system distorts the sample values received before a known training sequence and to be processed in reverse order.
- a sequence of binary symbols is distorted by a substitute system which copies the transmission channel.
- the first coefficients of the impulse response of the substitute system have maximum energy with an unchanged frequency response value.
- the substitute system When the substitute system is determined by means of a known training sequence, it copies the transmission channel with maximum exactness at that instant. Since the time-variant transmission properties have changed, also the substitute system is to be adjusted based on decisions. For minimizing the sequence estimation error caused by a change of the impulse response until the next estimation of the impulse response, a minimum-phase substitute system makes an estimation on the basis of the training sequence starting in positive direction i.e. the sample values received later in the sequence. Therefore, the greater part of the information for the description of the transmission channel is found in the first coefficients of the substitute system.
- a maximum-phase substitute system provides an estimation of the training sequence in negative direction for the same reason i.e. the sample values received earlier are distorted in reverse order by the maximum-phase substitute system. As a result, the larger part of the information for the description of the transmission channel is found in the last coefficients of the substitute system, so that a reliability similar to that of a complete number of states is achieved in a reduced-state sequence estimate in negative direction.
- At least one all-pass filtering is effected of the transmission channel impulse response estimated on the basis of the received training sequence.
- the transformation in a minimum or maximum-phase substitute system is effected by means of an all-pass filtering.
- the noise power and the statistical independence of successive noise sample values are then unaffected. It is also possible to use an approximation of the all-pass filtering.
- the all- pass filtering may be used, for example, the method of zero-crossing detection.
- Fig. 1 shows a block circuit diagram of the receiver according to the invention of a digital transmission system
- Fig. 2 shows a block circuit diagram of a substitute system describing the transmission channel, which system produces an impulse response for channel estimation
- Fig. 3 shows the structure of a TDMA frame in GSM mobile radio with the structure of a single time slot which time slot contains a training sequence necessary for the channel estimation.
- Fig. 1 shows a receiver for a digital transmission system.
- the receiver input stage 1 it comprises a high-frequency section 2, an I/Q demodulator 3, a band-limiting filter 4 and a sampler 5.
- the sample values r k 6 are stored in a digital memory 7.
- the data from this digital memory 7 are rendered available to the channel estimator 8.
- an impulse response of the transmission system is estimated via a known training sequence in the received signal.
- an all-pass detection 9 takes place for converting the impulse response in the all-pass filter 10 in a minimum or maximum-phase system without a loss of accuracy of the estimation.
- the all-pass filter 10 first takes the sequence of the sample values 6 from the digital memory 7 and stores the filtered values again in the digital memory 7.
- the symbol estimator 11 makes a symbol estimation with state reduction according to the Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation (MLSE) method via a Viterbi algorithm. Reliability information for the symbol estimation is then additionally formed, which information is optionally processed together with the estimated data in a decoder 12.
- MLSE Maximum Likelihood Sequence Estimation
- Reliability information for the symbol estimation is then additionally formed, which information is optionally processed together with the estimated data in a decoder 12.
- a soft-decision decoding can be used in the decoder 12.
- the transmitted payload data 13 are formed therefrom.
- a transmitted signal is distorted by multipath propagation due to reflections and superpositioning of noise and further disturbing signals.
- a binary digit b k of a binary signal b transmitted at a discrete instant k is superimposed by delayed signal portions of binary digits b k _ ⁇ , b k . 2 , • • ⁇ transmitted earlier.
- This superpositioning corresponds to a signal distortion. Consequently, the signal received for a transmitted binary digit can no longer be assigned unambiguously to a low or a high level.
- the transmission channel has a memory size d, where d denotes the number of interfering adjacent symbols.
- the memory size d can also be defined as a quotient of the length of the channel impulse response of the transmission channel and a bit duration of the received signal minus 1 , where the larger integer of this result denotes d.
- the signal received from the receiver input stage 1 has an analog signal waveform as a result of these superpositionings, which waveform cannot be assigned without equalization to the originally transmitted binary value.
- the signal received in the receiver input stage 1 is sampled by the sampler 5 at equidistant instants k.
- each sample value r k 6 which can be assigned to a binary digit b k transmitted at an instant k depends on the binary digit b k which can be assigned to this sample value and d binary digits b i _ 1 , b;_ 2 b,. d immediately preceding this binary digit b k .
- a channel model which approximately describes the dispersive transmission channel by a linear finite transversal filter forms a basis for the equalization of a sequence of sample values 6 by means of the digital memory 7 which renders the sample values 6 available to the channel estimator 8 for the time interval of a transmit time slot.
- Fig. 2 shows a block circuit diagram of a substitute system 14 which corresponds to this transversal filter.
- the multiplication 16 of a binary signal 15 by j k corresponds to the ⁇ /2 shift 2PSK modulation used in mobile radio according to the GSM standard.
- An incoming sequence of binary symbols is read into the d memory cells of the substitute system 14 via delay elements 17.
- the filter coefficients of the substitute system 18 the individual binary symbols are factored and the values obtained are subsequently summed together.
- An addition 19 of white, discrete-time, complex noise forms output values of the substitute system 14 which are copied from the sample values 6 actually recovered from the dispersive transmission channel in the receiver input stage 1.
- the times of the delay elements 17 men correspond to the equidistant distances of successively sent binary symbols.
- attempts are made at die receiving end to copy the transmission properties of the transmission channel via suitable filter coefficients.
- the distortions occurring on the transmission path are copied by the substitute system 14 by the linear combinations which have memories.
- the transmission channel is copied by respectively setting the filter coefficients 18.
- the filter coefficients 18 can then be derived from the sample values 6 of an estimated impulse response of the transmission channel.
- a so- termed training sequence can be used, which comprises a binary symbol sequence known both to a transmitter and a receiver.
- the filter coefficients 18 are set so that, once the substitute system has been traversed, a copy is made of the transmission channel that has the fewest errors.
- Fig. 3 shows a structure of a TDMA frame 20 used in mobile radio according to the GSM standard.
- a frame 20 having a length of 4.615 ms are accommodated 8 information channels which have each a time slot 21, so that the channels are assigned each 0.577 ms in which 159 bits are sent.
- the middle part of the bit sequence of a time slot forms a so-called midamble 23 having 26 bits which are framed by a so-called housekeeping bit. To the exterior the two sides have each 57 information bits 22 and 24 followed each by 3 so-called tail bits. At the end of the time slot there is a guard interval 25.
- the midamble 23 contains in me middle a so-called training sequence 27 having 16 bits, which sequence is known bom in the transmitter and in the receiver.
- the training sequence 27 in mobile radio according to the GSM standard is extended on either side by five bits. For a periodic extension of the training sequence on either side, the extension is known and this is called an extended training sequence 26.
- the equalization method in the receiver according to this invention which method can be realized with hardware components and via a software solution, comprises the following components:
- Fig. 1 shows the block circuit diagram of the proposed receiver for mobile radio according to the GSM standard. This equalization method may be applied both to the base station and to the mobile stations.
- a sequence (r k ), k£Z, of complex sample values 6 in the baseband is recovered from the high-frequency input signal in similar fashion to that of the state of the art. Then, k denotes the discrete time in the clock of the binary transmit symbols 15.
- the GMSK modulation method of GSM is approximated, as usual, at the receiving end as ⁇ r/2 shift 2PSK modulation and accordingly demodulated in linear fashion.
- the substitute system 14 contains d binary memory cells which contain the amplitude coefficients ⁇ 1 and + j alternating with time. In this manner, 2 d different memory states of the delay line of the substitute system 14 are possible in each step.
- the sequence (r k ) of complex sample values 6 is stored and off-line processed in real time.
- the sequence is added to the extended channel estimation as shown in Fig. 1.
- the extended training sequence 26 of 26 binary symbols in the middle of a so-called GSM burst (midamble 26) the time position of the sample values, the degree d of the currently available distorting substitute system 14 as shown in Fig. 2, and its complex- value coefficients 18 are determined.
- G(z) ⁇ A(z) has a maximum phase.
- the degree of the resulting systems then ideally does not increase. Only, if instead of the required all-pass transfer functions, approximations thereof are used, can a (slight) increase of degree occur.
- the signal (r k ) 6 is filtered in positive direction by the system A(z) and in negative direction by the system A(z), beginning from the middle of the burst, thus starting from the training sequence 27. If a decision-based adjustment of the channel estimation is omitted, only a filtering of the total signal (r k ) 6 is needed for one burst.
- the symbol sequence is determined by means of a sequence estimation method with state reduction, preferably beginning in the middle of the burst in positive direction on the basis of the signal distorted by a minimum-phase substitute system, and in negative direction on the basis of a signal distorted by a maximum-phase substitute system.
- sequence estimation method with state reduction and detection of symbol reliability 11 in accordance with this invention can be used for this purpose, see item 4.
- a decision-supported adjustment of the channel estimation 8 may then be effected in like manner to that of the state of the art.
- the extended channel estimation is based on a channel estimation for the variable expected degree c of the substitute system 14.
- the c+ 1 components y k (c) of the vector [y(c)] are then (as usual) formed by correlation of the sequence (r k ) of complex sample values 6 from the received signal having the coefficients of a part of the (periodically extended) training sequence 26 ⁇ a k ):
- the two summation limits k u (c,k) and k o (c,k) are generally functions of the degree c and of the time index k. A possible selection of these summation limits is:
- the matrices ⁇ _1 (c) are then easy to calculate. They are preferably for 0 ⁇ c ⁇ 7 for all 8 training sequences used in GSM mobile radio stored in a ROM in the proposed receiver. In this manner, their real-time calculation is omitted.
- ⁇ P*( C ) with k ⁇ 0 and c ⁇ 5 is raised to the channel estimation.
- E 6 denotes the 6 x 6 unit matrix
- the extended channel estimation 8 is preferably as follows:
- a window can be determined for coefficients to be evaluated in the following, so that the values of estimated coefficients outside this window do not considerably exceed the computational tolerance of the estimation error (coefficient clipping).
- the expected degree c determined in the first attempt and the optimum position of the zero instant are used. In this manner, the variance of the estimation error is minimized.
- the all-pass filtering 10 achieves that with respect to the sequence estimation with state reduction 11 , a linear distortion of the data signal occurs caused by a minimum-phase or maximum-phase respectively, discrete-time substitute system 14 having degree c. Only when the energy of the difference signal when two paths in a trellis diagram are split up is maximized, which trellis diagram can be drawn similarly to Fig. 2 for binary input symbols for the system 14 (see, for example, "Trelliscod réelle in der digitalen Ubertragungstechnik -Grundlagen und füren", J. Huber, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1992), are signal-to-noise ratios caused by a state reduction in the sequence estimation negligibly small even for a drastic reduction.
- the sequence estimation 11 is in that case made separately in positive and in negative direction.
- the all-pass filtering 10 achieves that the difference signal has maximum energy at the path split ups in the trellis diagram.
- the all-pass filtering 10 can be effected with any of the linear signal transformation methods customary in digital signal processing, for example, in the time domain by means of a discrete convolution with a FIR or HR system, or by means of a discrete Fourier transformation, multiplication by the transfer function computed under item 2 in the frequency domain and, successively, inverted Fourier transformation.
- the further coefficients 18 of this system are estimated by the symbols in the path registers at the respective states in the trellis diagram.
- channel decoding 12 it is helpful not only to estimate the channel symbols, but also their reliability, to be able to carry out so-called soft-decision decoding.
- soft-decision decoding In addition to determining the respective symbol, also the probability that this decision is correct can be determined.
- a sequence estimation method with state reduction and approximate calculation of the symbol reliabilities was shown, for example, in "TCM on Frequency-Selective Fading Channels: A Comparison of Soft-Output Probabilistic
- the Bahl algorithm can be a reduced-state one similarly to the decision feedback Viterbi algorithm.
- a path register is assigned to each of the current 2 States, which path register is updated in each time window as with the DFSE algorithm, and is necessary for computing the branch metrics of the reduced trellis.
- the branch metrics are stored and used once again for the backward recursion to determine the ⁇ y ( ⁇ ).
