Description
Transmitter Diversity Technique for Wireless Communications Background of the Invention This invention relates to wireless communication and, more particularly, to techniques for effective wireless communication in the presence of fading and other to degradations.
The most effective technique for mitigating multipath fading in a wireless radio channel is to cancel the effect of fading at the transmitter by controlling the transmitter's power. That is, if the channel conditions are known at the transmitter (on one side of the link), then the transmitter can pre-distort the signal to overcome 15 the effect of the channel at the receiver (on the other side). However, there are two fundamental problems with this approach. The first problem is the transmitter's dynamic range. For the transmitter t.o overcome an x dB fade, it must increase its power by x dB which, in most cases, is not practical because of radiation power limitations, and the size and cost of amplifiers. The seccand problem is that the 2o transmitter does not have any knowledge of the channel as seen by the receiver (except for time division duplex systems, where the transmitter receives power from a known other transmitter over the. same channel). Thexefore, if one wants to control a transmitter based on channel characteristics, channel information has to be sent from the receiver to the transmitter, which results in throughput degradation 25 and added complexity to bath the transmitter and the receiver.
Other effective techniques are time and frequency diversity. Using time interleaving together with coding can provide diversity improvement. The same holds for frequency hopping and spread spectrum. However, time interleaving results in unnecessarily large delays when the channel is slowly varying.

Equivalently, frequency diversity techniques are ineffective when the coherence bandwidth of the channel is large (small delay spread).
It is well known that in most scattering environments antenna diversity is the most practical and effective technique for reducing the effect of multipath fading.
The classical approach to antenna diversity is to use multiple antennas at the receiver and perform combining (or selection) to improve the quality of the received signal.
The major problem with using the receiver diversity approach in current wireless communication systems, such as IS-136 and GSM, is the cost, size and t o power consumption constraints of the receivers. For obvious reasons, small size, weight and cost are paramount. The addition of multiple antennas and RF chains (or selection and switching circuits) in receivers is presently not be feasible. As a result, diversity techniques have often been applied only to improve the up-link (receiver to base) transmission quality with multiple antennas (and receivers) at the 15 base station. Since a base station often serves thousands of receivers, it is more economical to add equipment to base stations rather than the receivers Recently, some interesting approaches for transmitter diversity have been suggested. A delay diversity scheme was proposed by A. Wittneben in "Base Station Modulation Diversity for Digital SIMULCAST," Proceeding of the 1991 2o IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC 41 st), PP. 848-853, May 1991, and in "A New Bandwidth Efficient Transmit Antenna Modulation Diversity Scheme For Linear Digital Modulation," in Proceeding of the 1993 IEEE International Conference on Communications (IICC '93), PP. 1630-1634, May 1993. The proposal is for a base station to transmit a sequence of symbols through one 25 antenna, and the same sequence of symbols but delayed - through another antenna.
U.S. patent 5,479,448, issued to Nambirajan Seshadri on December 26, 1995, discloses a similar arrangement where a sequence of codes is transmitted through two antennas. The sequence of codes is routed through a cycling switch that directs each code to the various antennas, in succession. Since copies of the same symbol are transmitted through multiple antennas at different times, both space and time diversity are achieved. A maximum likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) or a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizer is then used to resolve multipath distortion and provide diversity gain. See also N. Seshadri, J.H.
Winters, "Two Signaling Schemes for Improving the Error Performance of FDD
Transmission Systems Using Transmitter Antenna Diversity," Proceeding of the 1993 IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC 43rd), pp. 508-511, May 1993;
and J. H. Winters, "The Diversity Gain of Transmit Diversity in Wireless Systems with Rayleigh Fading," Proceeding of the 1994 ICClSLIPERCOMM, New Orleans, to Vol. 2, PP. 1121-1125, May 1994.
In still another imterestin~ approach symbols are encoded according to the antennas through which they are simultaneously transmitted, and are decoded using a maximum likelihood decoder.
More specifically, the process at the transmitter handles the information in blocks of Ml bits, where MI is a multiple of M2, i.e., M1==k*M2. It converts each successive group of M2 bits into information symbols (generating thereby k information symbols), encodes each sequence of k information symbols into n channel codes (developing thereby a group of n channel codes for each sequence of k information symbols), and applies each code of a group of codes to a different antenna.
Summary The problems of prior art systems are overcome, and an advance in the art is realized with a simple block coding arrangement where symbols are transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels and the coding comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time diversity or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas; time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times;
and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas: The novel approach does not require any bandwidth expansion or feedback from the receiver to the transmitter, and has the same decoding complexity as the MRRC. The diversity improvement is equal to applying maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) at the receiver with the same number of l0 antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas. This scheme provides the same diversity gain as four-branch MRRC.
~ 5 Brief Description of the Drawings FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a first embodiment in accordance with the principles of this invention;
FIG. 2 presents a block diagram of a second embodiment, where channel estimates are not employed;
2o FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a third embodiment, where channel estimates are derived from recovered signals; and FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment where two transmitter antennas and two receiver antennas are employed.
25 Detail Description In accordance with the principles of this invention, effective communication is achieved with encoding of symbols that comprises merely negations and conjugations of symbols (which really is merely negation of the imaginary part) in WO 99114871 PCT/US98/179b3 combination with a transmitter created diversity. Space diversity and either frequency diversity or time diversity are employed.
FIG. 1 presents a block diagram of an arrangement where the two controllable aspects of the transmitter that are used are space and time. That is, the 5 FIG. 1 arrangement includes multiple transmitter antennas (providing space diversity) and employs multiple time intervals. Specifically, transmitter 10 illustratively comprises antennas 11 and 12, and it handles incoming data in blocks n symbols, where n is the number of transmitter antennas, and in the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 1, it equals 2, and each block takes n symbol intervals to transmit. Also illustratively, the FIG. 1 arrangement includes a receiver 20 that comprises a single antenna 21.
At any given time, a signal sent by a transmitter antenna experiences interference effects of the traversed channel, which consists of the transmit chain, the air-link, and the receive chain. The channel may be modeled by a complex multiplicative distortion factor composed of a magnitude response and a phase response. In the exposition that follows therefore, the channel transfer function from transmit antenna 11 to receive antenna 21 is denoted by ho and from transmit antenna 12 to receive antenna 21 is denoted by h~ , where:
ho = a e'~°°
h, = a~e'°' (1) Noise from interference and other sources is added at the two received signals and, therefore, the resulting baseband signal received at any time and outputted by reception and amplification section 25 is r(t) = aoe~° s; + a~e~'s~ + n(t) , (2) where s; and s~ are the signals being sent by transmit antenna 11 and 12, respectively.
It is well known that in most scattering environments antenna diversity is the most practical and effective technique for reducing the effect of multipath fading.
The classical approach to antenna diversity is to use multiple antennas at the receiver and perform combining (or selection) to improve the quality of the received signal.
The major problem with using the receiver diversity approach in current wireless communication systems, such as IS-136 and GSM, is the cost, size and t o power consumption constraints of the receivers. For obvious reasons, small size, weight and cost are paramount. The addition of multiple antennas and RF chains (or selection and switching circuits) in receivers is presently not be feasible. As a result, diversity techniques have often been applied only to improve the up-link (receiver to base) transmission quality with multiple antennas (and receivers) at the 15 base station. Since a base station often serves thousands of receivers, it is more economical to add equipment to base stations rather than the receivers Recently, some interesting approaches for transmitter diversity have been suggested. A delay diversity scheme was proposed by A. Wittneben in "Base Station Modulation Diversity for Digital SIMULCAST," Proceeding of the 1991 2o IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC 41 st), PP. 848-853, May 1991, and in "A New Bandwidth Efficient Transmit Antenna Modulation Diversity Scheme For Linear Digital Modulation," in Proceeding of the 1993 IEEE International Conference on Communications (IICC '93), PP. 1630-1634, May 1993. The proposal is for a base station to transmit a sequence of symbols through one 25 antenna, and the same sequence of symbols but delayed - through another antenna.
U.S. patent 5,479,448, issued to Nambirajan Seshadri on December 26, 1995, discloses a similar arrangement where a sequence of codes is transmitted through two antennas. The sequence of codes is routed through a cycling switch that directs each code to the various antennas, in succession. Since copies of the same symbol are transmitted through multiple antennas at different times, both space and time diversity are achieved. A maximum likelihood sequence estimator (MLSE) or a minimum mean squared error (MMSE) equalizer is then used to resolve multipath distortion and provide diversity gain. See also N. Seshadri, J.H.

In still another imterestin~ approach symbols are encoded according to the antennas through which they are simultaneously transmitted, and are decoded using a maximum likelihood decoder.
More specifically, the process at the transmitter handles the information in blocks of Ml bits, where MI is a multiple of M2, i.e., M1==k*M2. It converts each successive group of M2 bits into information symbols (generating thereby k information symbols), encodes each sequence of k information symbols into n channel codes (developing thereby a group of n channel codes for each sequence of k information symbols), and applies each code of a group of codes to a different antenna.
Summary The problems of prior art systems are overcome, and an advance in the art is realized with a simple block coding arrangement where symbols are transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels and the coding comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time diversity or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas; time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times;
and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas: The novel approach does not require any bandwidth expansion or feedback from the receiver to the transmitter, and has the same decoding complexity as the MRRC. The diversity improvement is equal to applying maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) at the receiver with the same number of l0 antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas. This scheme provides the same diversity gain as four-branch MRRC.

2o FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a third embodiment, where channel estimates are derived from recovered signals; and FIG. 4 illustrates an embodiment where two transmitter antennas and two receiver antennas are employed.
25 Detail Description In accordance with the principles of this invention, effective communication is achieved with encoding of symbols that comprises merely negations and conjugations of symbols (which really is merely negation of the imaginary part) in WO 99114871 PCT/US98/179b3 combination with a transmitter created diversity. Space diversity and either frequency diversity or time diversity are employed.
FIG. 1 presents a block diagram of an arrangement where the two controllable aspects of the transmitter that are used are space and time. That is, the 5 FIG. 1 arrangement includes multiple transmitter antennas (providing space diversity) and employs multiple time intervals. Specifically, transmitter 10 illustratively comprises antennas 11 and 12, and it handles incoming data in blocks n symbols, where n is the number of transmitter antennas, and in the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 1, it equals 2, and each block takes n symbol intervals to transmit. Also illustratively, the FIG. 1 arrangement includes a receiver 20 that comprises a single antenna 21.
At any given time, a signal sent by a transmitter antenna experiences interference effects of the traversed channel, which consists of the transmit chain, the air-link, and the receive chain. The channel may be modeled by a complex multiplicative distortion factor composed of a magnitude response and a phase response. In the exposition that follows therefore, the channel transfer function from transmit antenna 11 to receive antenna 21 is denoted by ho and from transmit antenna 12 to receive antenna 21 is denoted by h~ , where:
ho = a e'~°°
h, = a~e'°' (1) Noise from interference and other sources is added at the two received signals and, therefore, the resulting baseband signal received at any time and outputted by reception and amplification section 25 is r(t) = aoe~° s; + a~e~'s~ + n(t) , (2) where s; and s~ are the signals being sent by transmit antenna 11 and 12, respectively.
As indicated above, in the two-antenna embodiment of FIG. 1 each block comprises two symbols and it takes two symbol intervals to transmit those two symbols. More specifically, when symbols s; and s~ need to be transmitted, at a first time interval the transmitter applies signal s; to antenna 11 and signal s~ to antenna I 2, and at the next time interval the transmitter applies signal - s, * to antenna I 1 and signal so * to antenna I2. This is clearly a very simple encoding process where only negations and conjugations are employed. As demonstrated below, it is as effective as it is simple. Corresponding to the above-described transmissions, in the first time interval the received signal.is r(t ) = hos; + hts~ + n(t) , (3) and in the next time interval the received signal is r(t+T)=-hose *+h~s; *+n(t+T).

The estimates developed by channel estimator 22 can be obtained by sending a known training signal that channel estimator 22 recovers, and based on the recovered signal the channel estimates are computed. This is a well known approach.
Combiner 23 receives the signal in the first time interval, buffers it, receives the signal in the next time interval, and combines the two received signals to develop signals s; =ho *r(t)+h,r*(t+T) s~ =h, *r(t)-hor*(t+T).
(S) Substituting equation (1) into (5) yields s, _ (ao + a; )s, +ho * n(t) + lz, n * (t + T ) s~ _ (ao + a; )s~ - ho n * (t + T ) + h, * n(t) , to (6 ) where ao = hoho * and a; = hth, * , demonstrating that the signals of equation {6) are, indeed, estimates of the transmitted signals (within a multiplicative factor).
Accordingly, the signals of equation (6) are sent to maximum likelihood detector 24.
In attempting to recover s, , two kind of signals are considered: the signals actually received at time t and t+T, and the signals that should have been received if s; were the signal that was sent. As demonstrated below, no assumption is made regarding the value of s~ . That is, a decision is made that s, = sx for that value of x for which 2o d2[r(t),{hosx +h,s~)]+d2[r(t+T),(-h,s~ *+hoss*)]
is less than d2[r(t),(hosk +h~s~)]+d2[r(t+T),(-h,sj *+hosk*)], ) where d2 (x,y) is the squared Euclidean distance between signals x and y, i.e., d a (x~Y~ _ 'x -YI1.
(S) Substituting equation (1) into (5) yields s, _ (ao + a; )s, +ho * n(t) + lz, n * (t + T ) s~ _ (ao + a; )s~ - ho n * (t + T ) + h, * n(t) , to (6 ) where ao = hoho * and a; = hth, * , demonstrating that the signals of equation {6) are, indeed, estimates of the transmitted signals (within a multiplicative factor).
Accordingly, the signals of equation (6) are sent to maximum likelihood detector 24.
In attempting to recover s, , two kind of signals are considered: the signals actually received at time t and t+T, and the signals that should have been received if s; were the signal that was sent. As demonstrated below, no assumption is made regarding the value of s~ . That is, a decision is made that s, = sx for that value of x for which 2o d2[r(t),{hosx +h,s~)]+d2[r(t+T),(-h,s~ *+hoss*)]
is less than d2[r(t),(hosk +h~s~)]+d2[r(t+T),(-h,sj *+hosk*)], ) where d2 (x,y) is the squared Euclidean distance between signals x and y, i.e., d a (x~Y~ _ 'x -YI1.
Recognizing that ho = ho +noise that is independent of the transmitted symbol, and that h, = h, +noise that is independent of the transmitted symbol, equation (7) can be rewritten to yield (aa + a; ~sx I z - s;ss - s, * sx ~ (ao + a~ ~sk I z - s;sk - s, * sk (g) where ao = hoha * and a; = huh, * ; or equivalently, z z (ao +a; -l~sxl +dz(s;,sx)<-(aa +a; -l~skl +dz~s;,sk~.
(9) In Phase Shift Keying modulation, all symbols carry the same energy, which 1o means that Isxl z = Is,~ Iz and, therefore, the decision rule of equation (9) may be simplified to choose signal s, = sx iff d z (s;, sx ) _< d z (s;, sk ) .
(10 Thus, maximum likelihood detector 24 develops the signals sk for all values of k, with the aid of ho and h, from estimator 22, develops the distances d z (s; , s,~ ) , identifies x for which equation (10) holds and concludes that s; = sx . A
similar process is applied for recovering s~ .
In the above-described embodiment each block of symbols is recovered as a block with the aid of channel estimates ho and h, . However, other approaches to 2o recovering the transmitted signals can also be employed. Indeed, an embodiment for recovering the transmitted symbols exists where the channel transfer functions need not be estimated at all, provided an initial pair of transmitted signals is known to the receiver (for example, when the initial pair of transmitted signals is prearranged). Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 2, where maximum likelihood detector 27 is responsive solely to combiner 26. (Elements in FIG. 3 that are referenced by numbers that are the same as reference numbers in FIG. 1 are like elements.) Combiner 26 of receiver 30 develops the signals ro = r(t) = hoso + h,s, + no r, = r(t + T ) = h, so * -ho s, * +n, r2 =r(t+2T)=hose +h,s3 +n2 r3 =r(t+3T)=h,s2 *-1~s3 *+n3, (1 1) then develops intermediate signals A and B
A = ro r3 * -r2 r, B = r2 ro * +r, r3 * , ( 12) and f rally develops signals s2 = As, * +Bso s3 = -Aso * +Bs, , (13) where N3 and N4 are noise terms. It may be noted that signal r2 is actually r2 = host + h,s3 = hose + h,s3 + n2, and similarly for signal r3 . Since the makeup of signals A and B makes them also equal to 2o A = (ao + a~ )(s2s, - s3so ) + N, B = (ao + ai )(szso * +s3s, *) + NZ , (14) where N1 and N2 are noise terms, it follows that signals s2 and s3 are equal to s2 = (ao + a; )(Iso IZ + Is, IZ )s2 + N3 s3 = (ao + a; )(Iso I Z + Isi (z )SS + Na .
(15) When the power of all signals is constant (and normalized to 1 ) equation ( 15) reduces to s2 = (ao + a; )s2 + N;
s; _ (ao + a; )s3 + N, .
5 (16) Hence, signals s2 and Ss are, indeed, estimates of the signals s1 and s3 (within a multiplicativefactor). Equation (t5) demonstrates the recursive aspect of equation (13), where signal estimates sz and s3 are evaluated with the aid ofrecovered signals so and s, that are fed back from the autput of the maximum likelihood l0 detector.
Signals s2 and s3 are.applied to maximum likelihood detector 24 where recovery is effected with the metric expressed by equation (1U) above. As shown in FIG. 2, once signals s2 and s~ are recovered, they are used together with received signals r~ , r3 , r4 , and r3 to recover signals s4 and s 5 , and the process repeats.
FIG. 3 depicts an embodiment that does not require the constellation of the transmitted signals to comprise symbols of equal power. (Elements in FIG. 3 that are referenced by numbers that are the same as reference numbers in FIG. 1 are like elements.) In FIG. 3, channel estimator 43 of receiver 44 is responsive to the output signals of maximum likelihood detector 42. Having access to the recovered signals 2o so and s, , channel estimator 43 forms the estimates ~ _ roso * -r~s, _ so no + s, n,.

Detector 24 recovers signals s2 and s3 by employing the approach used by detector 24 of FIG. I, except that it does not employ the simplification of equation (9). The recovered signals of detector 42 are fed back to channel estimator 43, which updates the channel estimates in preparation for the next cycle.
The FIGS. 1-3 embodiments illustrate the principles of this invention for arrangements having two transmit antennas and one receive antenna. However, those principles are broad enough to encompass a plurality of transmit antennas and a plurality of receive antennas. To illustrate, FIG. 4 presents an embodiment where two transmit antennas and two receive antennas are used; to wit, transmit antennas 31 and 32, and receive antennas 51 and 52. The signal received by antenna 51 is 1o applied to channel estimator 53 and to combiner 55, and the signal received by antenna 52 is applied to channel estimator 54 and to combiner 55. Estimates of the channel transfer functions ho and h, are applied by channel estimator 53 to combiner 55 and to maximum likelihood detector 56. Similarly, estimates of the channel transfer functions h2 and h3 are applied by channel estimator 54 to combiner 55 and to maximum likelihood detector 56. Table 2 defines the channels between the transmit antennas and the receive antennas, and table 3 defines the notion for the received signals at the two receive antennas.

r, r3 Based on the above, it can be shown that the received signals are ro = ltoso + h,s~ + no r, _ -hos, * +h,so * +n1 WO 99/14871 PC'TNS98/17963 rz - hzso + ~si + nz ra = _hzs~ * +h3so * +n3 (18) where no,n~,n" and n3 are complex random var~_ables representing receiver thermal noise, interfc:rences, etc.
In the FIG. 4 arrangement, combiner 55 develops the following two signals that are sent to the maximum likelihood detector:
so = ho * ro + h~ r~ * +hz * rz ~. h3r~ *
s~ = h~ * ro - hors * +h3 * rz - hzr, * .
(19) Substituting the appropriate equations results in So = (ao + a~Z + a2 + aj )so + ho * no + h~ n, * +h,~ * n2 + h3 n3 s~ _ (ao + a~ + a2 + a; )s, + h~ * no - hon, * +h3 * nz - h2 n; * , (~0) which demonstrates that the signalsso and s, are indeed estimates of the signals so and s~ . Accordingly, signals so and s, are sent to maximum likelihood decoder 56, which uses the decision rule of equation ( I 0) to recover the signals so and s, .
As disclosed above, the principles of this invention rely on the transmitter to force a diversity in the signals received by a receiver, and that diversity can be 2o effected in a number of ways. The illustrated embodiments rely on space diversity -effected through a multiplicity of transmitter antennas, and time diversity -effected through use of two time intervals for transmitting the encoded symbols. It should be realized that two different transmission frequencies could be used instead of two time intervals. Such an embodiment would double the transmission speed, but it would also increase the hardware in the receiver, because two different frequencies need to be received and processed simultaneously.
The above illustrated embodiments are, obviously, merely illustrative implementations of the principles of the invention, and various modifications and enhancements can be introduced by artisans without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention, which is embodied in the following claims. For example, all of the disclosed embodiments are illustrated for a space-time diversity choice, but as explained above, one could choose the space-frequency pair. Such a choice would have a direct effect on the construction of the receivers.
(10 Thus, maximum likelihood detector 24 develops the signals sk for all values of k, with the aid of ho and h, from estimator 22, develops the distances d z (s; , s,~ ) , identifies x for which equation (10) holds and concludes that s; = sx . A

It may be noted that signal r2 is actually r2 = host + h,s3 = hose + h,s3 + n2, and similarly for signal r3 . Since the makeup of signals A and B makes them also equal to 2o A = (ao + a~ )(s2s, - s3so ) + N, B = (ao + ai )(szso * +s3s, *) + NZ , (14) where N1 and N2 are noise terms, it follows that signals s2 and s3 are equal to s2 = (ao + a; )(Iso IZ + Is, IZ )s2 + N3 s3 = (ao + a; )(Iso I Z + Isi (z )SS + Na .
