ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a technique for detecting a receiving signal in radio communication using code division multiple access (CDMA), more particularly, to an apparatus and method for adaptive CDMA detection based on constrained minimum mean squared error criterion.
A typical adaptive Minimum Mean Squared Error (MMSE) apparatus for detecting a receiving signal has a good performance in a fixed channel environment and a simple structure, while its performance is severely degraded in a fading channel environment. This is due to the fact that the adaptive filter cannot be adapted to the rapid change of a channel phase and amplitude.
There are several methods to solve the problem. Some techniques of the methods have been proposed in articles, for example, S. L. Miller and A. N. Barbosa, “A modified MMSE Receiver for Detection of DS-COMA Signals in Fading Channels”, Proc.MILCOM'96, pp.898-902; and M. Latva-abo and M. Juntti, “Modified Adaptive LMMSE Receiver for DS-CDMA Systems in Fading Channels”, Proc.PIMRC'97, pp.554-558.
The first technique relates to reducing the channel load by compensating a phase variation component of channel for an input signal of an adaptive filter. But, since the method compensates only a phase component of channel, the performance of the adaptive filter decreases in case of a large variation of an amplitude component of channel.
The second technique relates to simultaneously compensating a phase and amplitude for a reference signal for an adaptive filter. In this case, using an input signal of the adaptive filter included in a component of Multiple Access Interference (MAI) performs the channel estimation for compensation. If the channel is estimated by using a MAL removed input signal of adaptive filter and a phase and amplitude are compensated by the channel estimation, as described
FIG. 4
(see A in FIG.
4
), all the tap weights of the adaptive filter converge to zero. Thus, the receiving apparatus cannot be operated.
Accordingly, an apparatus in which a channel is estimated by using an output signal of an adaptive filter, and a phase and amplitude are compensated by the channel estimation, a tap weight of an adaptive does not converge to zero, and operates normally is requested.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide an adaptive apparatus for detecting a receiving signal employing constrained minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion as an adaptive algorithm for detecting a receiving signal in CDMA system, in which an adaptive filter can be normally operated even if compensating a phase and amplitude of a channel at the same time.
Also, the present invention is to provide an adaptive method for detecting a receiving signal employing constrained minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion as an adaptive algorithm for detecting a receiving signal CDMA system, in which an adaptive filter can be normally operated even if compensating a phase and amplitude of a channel at the same time.
Further, the present invention is to provide a recording media for implementing an adaptive method for detecting a receiving signal employing constrained minimum mean square error (MMSE) criterion as an adaptive algorithm for detecting a receiving signal in CDMA system, in which an adaptive filter can be normally operated even if compensating a phase and amplitude of a channel at the same time.
To accomplish the objects, the present invention provides an adaptive apparatus for detecting a receiving signal in CDMA communication system comprising: an adaptive filtering means for filtering a complex receiving signal according to a tap weight controlled by a predetermined period; a channel estimating means for estimating a phase component and a amplitude component of a particular user channel by using the output signal of the adaptive filtering means; a signal restoring means for restoring an original signal transmitted from the particular user by using the channel estimated signal from the channel estimating means and the filtered receiving signal from the adaptive filtering means; a selecting means for selecting and providing either the restored signal from the signal restoring means or a known training signal; a reference signal generating means for generating a reference signal by using the channel estimated signal from the channel estimating means and the selected signal from the selecting means; an error calculating means for calculating an error between the filtered receiving signal from the adaptive filtering means and the reference signal from the reference signal generating means by comparing the signals; and a tap weight controlling means for controlling the tap weight of the adaptive filtering means based on constrained minimum mean square error(MMSE) criterion.

And, the second step comprises the steps of: a pilot signal extracting step for extracting a known pilot signal with a predetermined period included in the filtered receiving signal from the first step; a first operating step for multiplying the pilot signal by a predetermined value; a second operating step for adding all the output value of the first operating step in a predetermined period; a third operating step for finding and outputting the mean by dividing the sum of the second operating step into the number of output value of the first operating step.
