Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/810,811, filed Mar. 29, 2004, which is based upon and claims benefit of priority under 35 USC §119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-88288, filed on Mar. 27, 2003, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a receiver that receives a radio signal including N possible symbols (where N is an integer having a value of at least two) each represented by M chips (where M is an integer having a value of at least two), and detects the degree of correlation with a symbol serving as a reference, and its receiving method.
- 2. Related Background Art
- In the CCK (Complementary Code Keying) modulation scheme adopted in IEEE802.11b, signal modulation is conducted by using 64 possible symbols each represented by 8 chips.
- An example in which a plurality of correlation processing units for detecting the degree of correlation of the symbols included in the radio signal and a symbol determination unit for determining the symbols are provided is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-open 217789/2002.
- The symbol determination unit selects the maximum output among the outputs of a plurality of correlation processing units, and detects a phase of the output of the selected correlation processing unit. Thereby, f(φ1, φ2, φ3, φ4} dependent on data bits is decided, and the symbols are determined.
- In a multipath environment in which a delay wave exists, however, cross-correlation characteristics between symbols deteriorates by the influence of the delay wave, and the output of the correlation processing unit corresponding to a transmission symbol does not become the maximum.
- For example, it is supposed that both a preceding wave w1 of a certain symbol and a one-chip delay wave of the preceding wave w1 are received by the receiver. In this case, originally, only the output of the correlation processing unit having a symbol corresponding to the preceding wave w1 should become the maximum. In a multipath environment having the preceding wave w1 and a one-chip delay wave w2 as a mixture, however, both the output of the correlation processing unit having the symbol corresponding to the preceding wave w1 and an output of a correlation processing unit having a symbol corresponding to the one-chip delay wave become large. Therefore, there is a likelihood that the transmission symbol cannot be discriminated uniquely by using only outputs of the correlation processing units.
- In order to solve the above-described problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a receiver and a receiving method capable of determining a transmission symbol accurately and simply.
- A receiver according to one embodiment of the present invention comprising:
- an antenna which receives a radio signal including N possible symbols {c1 (n), c2 (n), . . . cM−1 (n), cM (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying the
relation 1<n≦N) each symbol represented by M chips (M is an integer equal to or more than 2); - an N correlation units which are provided corresponding to said N possible symbols, respectively, each correlation unit detecting the degree of correlation with the radio signal received by said antenna; and
- a symbol determination unit which determines the symbol included in the radio signal received by said antenna based on the degree of correlation detected by said N correlation units,
- wherein said N correlation units detect the degree of correlation between the radio signal received by said antenna and the N possible symbols represented by M chips {α0c1 (n),α0c2 (n)+α1c1 (n), . . . ,α0cM−1 (n)+α1cM−2 (n),α0cM (n)+α1cM−1 (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying the
relation 1<n≦N, and α0 and α1 are non-zero constants). - Furthermore, a receiver according to one embodiment of the present invention comprising:
- an antenna which receives a radio signal including N possible symbols {c1 (n), c2 (n), . . . cM−1 (n), cM (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying the
relation 1<n≦N) each symbol represented by M chips (M is an integer equal to or more than 2); - an N correlation units which are provided corresponding to said N possible symbols, respectively, each correlation unit detecting the degree of correlation with the radio signal received by said antenna; and

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an overall configuration of a receiver according to a first embodiment of the present invention. For example, a configuration for receiving a radio signal of the CCK modulation scheme is shown. The receiver ofFIG. 1 includes anantenna 1 for receiving a radio signal including 64 possible symbols each represented by eight chips {c1 (n), c2 (n), . . . c7 (n), c8 (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying therelation 1<n≦64), an LNA (Low Noise Amplifier)unit 2 for amplifying the radio signal received by the antenna, afrequency converter 3 for converting an output signal of theLNA 2 to a low frequency signal, an A/D converter 4 for converting an output signal of thefrequency converter 3 to a digital signal, abaseband processing unit 5 for conducting demodulation on the basis of the digital signal, and adata processing unit 6 for conducting various kinds of processing on the basis of an output of thebaseband processing unit 5. - The
baseband processing unit 5 determines a certain symbol included in the radio signal. Thedata processing unit 6 performs so-called decoding processing. In the decoding processing, the determined certain symbol is converted into data sequence consisted of 0 and 1, and the kinds of data is determined by putting delimiters in the data sequence. - In the CCK (Complementary Code Keying) modulation scheme, signal modulation is conducted by using 64 possible symbols each represented by 8 chips as shown in expression (1).
C1=exp {j(φ1+φ2+φ3+φ4)}
C2=exp {j(φ1+φ3+φ4)}
C3=exp {j(φ1+φ2+φ4)}
C4=−exp {j(φ1+φ4)}
C5=exp {j(φ1+φ2+φ3)}
C6=exp {j(φ1+φ3)}
C7=−exp {j(φ1+φ2)}
C8=exp {j(φ1)} (1) - Here, {φ1, φ2, φ3, φ4) is a value depending upon data bits. If the transmission rate is 11 Mbps, {φ1, φ2, φ3, φ4} is defined with respect to 8-bit data bits {d0, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7} as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 . - A symbol is the unit of information. A chip is the unit of mark (character) included in a symbol.
- Reception processing of the CCK will now be described. In the CCK, there is a possibility that any of 256 possible symbols each represented by 8 chips is received. Since φ1 means rotation of a symbol, however, the total number of correlation processing units 31 provided in a receiver may be 64 as shown in
FIG. 10 . - In the configuration shown in
FIG. 1 , a featured portion of the present invention is thebaseband processing unit 5. Thebaseband processing unit 5 has, for example, a configuration as shown inFIG. 4 . Thebaseband processing unit 5 shown inFIG. 4 includes 64correlation processing units 11 for detecting the degree of correlation with the radio signal received by theantenna 1, and asymbol determination unit 12 for determinating a transmission symbol on the basis of an output of thesecorrelation processing units 11. - The
symbol determination unit 12 determinates a symbol corresponding to acorrelation processing unit 11 generating a maximum output level among outputs of 64correlation processing units 11, as the transmission symbol. - Each of the 64
correlation processing units 11 detects the degree of correlation between the radio signal received by theantenna 1 and {c1 (n), c2 (n)+c1 (n), . . . c7(n)+c6 (n), c8 (n)+c7 (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying therelation 1<n≦64). - By forming the
correlation processing unit 11 as shown inFIG. 4 , it becomes possible to detect the degree of correlation not only with the preceding wave contained in the radio signal received by theantenna 1 but also with the one-chip delay wave contained therein. For example, it is supposed that the a preceding wave w1 including a symbol as shown inFIG. 5 and a one-chip delay wave w2 for the preceding wave w1 have been received by the receiver. - In order to conduct symbol determination on the basis of both the preceding wave w1 and the one-chip delay wave w2 in this case, the
correlation processing unit 11 should have only a symbol equivalent to a sum of the symbol in the preceding wave w1 and the symbol in the one-chip delay wave w2 as represented by w3 inFIG. 5 . In the present embodiment, therefore, the 64correlation processing units 11 are previously provided with the symbol equivalent to the sum of the symbol in the preceding wave w1 and the symbol in the one-chip delay wave w2. - The reason why the degree of correlation is detected by taking only the one-chip delay wave among delay waves into consideration is that it is seldom that a delay of two chips or more occurs.
- In the w3 shown in
FIG. 5 , c8 (1) is not included in the correlation processing units. This is conducted to avoid interference from the next symbol. - Thus, in the present embodiment, symbol determination is conducted by taking into consideration also the degree of correlation of the one-chip delay wave, which has a high possibility of affecting the current symbol received by the receiver. As compared with the case where symbol determination is conducted by using only the preceding wave, cross-correlation characteristics can be improved. Since symbol decision is conducted without taking into consideration the degree of correlation of the component c8 (1) in the delay wave, which has a high possibility of being affected by the next symbol, among delay waves, interference from the next symbol is not caused.
- In a second embodiment, the degree of correlation is detected in the
correlation processing unit 11 by taking into consideration a channel impulse response coefficient of the preceding wave contained in the radio signal received by theantenna 1 and a channel impulse response coefficient of the one-chip delay wave contained therein. - In the second embodiment of a receiver according to the present invention, the internal configuration of the
baseband processing unit 5 is different from that in the first embodiment and other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment. -
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration according to the second embodiment of thebaseband processing unit 5. Thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 6 includes acorrelation processing unit 11 a having a configuration different from that in the first embodiment and asymbol determination unit 12 similar to that in the first embodiment. Besides, thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 6 includes a channel impulseresponse estimation unit 13. - The
correlation processing unit 11 a detects the degree of correlation between a radio signal received by theantenna 1 and {α0c1 (n), α0c2 (n)+α1c1 (n), . . . α0c7 (n)α1c6 (n), α0c8 (n)+α5c7 (n)} (where n is an integer satisfying therelation 1<n≦64 and α0 and α1 are non-zero constants). - The ratio between α0 and α1 is equal to the ratio between the transmission line coefficient of the preceding wave contained in the radio signal received by the
antenna 1 and the channel impulse response coefficient of the one-chip delay wave contained therein. The channel impulse response coefficients are estimated by the channel impulseresponse estimation unit 13. - The reason why the degree of correlation is detected by taking the channel impulse response coefficient into consideration is that there is a likelihood that the reception strength and signal delay quantity of the radio signal received by the
antenna 1 will change with time. By estimating the channel impulse response coefficients of the preceding wave and the one-chip delay wave and then detecting the degree of correlation, detection of the degree of correlation conforming to the variation of the reception environment can be conducted. Even in an environment in which the reception strength and signal delay quantity of the radio signal are apt to vary, therefore, the cross-correlation characteristics can be improved. - In a third embodiment, a two-chip delay wave is removed and then the degree of correlation is detected in the
correlation processing unit 11 a. - In the third embodiment of a receiver according to the present invention, the internal configuration of the
baseband processing unit 5 is different from that in the second embodiment and other configurations are the same as those in the second embodiment. -
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration according to the third embodiment of thebaseband processing unit 5. Thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 7 includes acorrelation processing unit 11 a, asymbol determination unit 12 and a channel impulse responseresponse estimation unit 13, which are similar to those in the second embodiment. Besides, thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 7 includes a delaywave removal unit 14. - The delay
wave removal unit 14 ofFIG. 7 removes the two-chip delay wave contained in the radio signal received by theantenna 1. The delaywave removal unit 14 has an internal configuration represented by, for example, a block diagram shown inFIG. 8 . - The delay
wave removal unit 14 ofFIG. 8 includesamplifiers delay units adders adder 26 adds a signal obtained by delaying an output of theamplifier 22 by one chip and an output of theamplifier 21. Theadder 25 adds a signal obtained by delaying an output of theadder 26 by one chip and the radio signal contained in the received signal from theantenna 1. - By setting the channel impulse response coefficient of the preceding wave equal to α0, the channel impulse response coefficient of the one-chip delay wave equal to α1, the channel impulse response coefficient of the two-chip delay wave equal to α2, a gain β1 of the
amplifier 21 equal to zero, and a gain β2 of theamplifier 22 equal to −α2/α1, the two-chip delay wave is removed on the basis of the preceding wave contained in the radio signal received by theantenna 1. By thus removing the two-chip delay wave on the basis of the preceding wave, it is possible to detect the degree of correlation with the two-chip delay wave under the minimum phase condition removed, and improve the removal performance of the two-chip delay wave. - On the other hand, if the gain β1 of the
amplifier 21 is set equal to −α2/α1 and the gain β2 of theamplifier 22 is set equal to zero, the two-chip delay wave is removed on the basis of the one-chip delay wave. By thus removing the two-chip delay wave on the basis of the one-chip delay wave, it is possible to detect the degree of correlation by removing the two-chip delay wave under non-minimum phase condition, and improve the removal performance of the two-chip delay wave. - Thus, in the third embodiment, the removal performance of the two-chip delay wave under the minimum phase condition or non-minimum phase condition can be improved by changing the setting in the delay
wave removal unit 14. - In a fourth embodiment, the setting in the delay
wave removal unit 14 is changed according to signal levels of the preceding wave and the one-chip delay wave. -
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration according to the fourth embodiment of thebaseband processing unit 5. Thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 9 includes acorrelation processing unit 11 a, asymbol determination unit 12, a channel impulse responseresponse estimation unit 13 and a delaywave removal unit 14, which are similar to those in the third embodiment. Besides, thebaseband processing unit 5 ofFIG. 7 includes alevel comparison unit 15. - The
level comparison unit 15 compares signal levels of the preceding wave contained in the radio signal received by theantenna 1 and the one-chip delay wave contained therein with each other. The delaywave removal unit 14 sets the gains β1 and β2 of the amplifiers on the basis of a result of the comparison in thelevel comparison unit 15. - Specifically, in the case where the signal level of the preceding wave is higher than the signal level of the one-chip delay wave, i.e., α0>α1, the two-chip delay wave is removed on the basis of the preceding wave by setting β1=0 and β2=−α2/α1.
- In the case where α0≦α1, the two-chip delay wave is removed on the basis of the one-chip delay wave by setting β1=−α2/α1 and β2=0.
- Thus, in the fourth embodiment, the setting in the delay wave removal unit is changed according to the signal levels of the preceding wave and the one-chip delay wave. Therefore, it becomes unnecessary to manually change the setting in the channel impulse
response estimation unit 3 and the removal performance of the two-chip delay wave can be improved certainly. - In the above-described embodiments, the example in which a radio signal of the CCK modulation scheme is received has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to M-ary modulation schemes other than the CCK modulation scheme.

Data 01→Symbol: 1 −1 1 −1 -
Data 10→Symbol: 1 1 −1 −1 -
Data 11→Symbol: 1 −1 −1 1 - In this case, one symbol is consisted of four chips, and a value of each chip is 1 or −1. The
correlation processing unit 11 detects the degree of correlation between the reception signal and the above-mentioned four symbols. - In the above-described embodiments, the example in which each symbol is formed of eight chips has been described. However, there are no special restraints on the number of chips forming each symbol.
- In the above-described embodiments, the example in which the degree of correlation is detected by taking into consideration only the one-chip delay wave besides the preceding wave has been described. However, the degree of correlation may also be detected by taking into consideration a k-chip delay wave (where k is an integer having a value of at least two).
- In this case, the
correlation processing unit 11 detects the degree of correlation between the radio signal received by theantenna 1 and N possible symbols (where N is an integer having a value of at least two) each represented by M chips (where M is an integer having a value of at least two)
