Abstract

A space domain filter detecting method in a multi-antennas wireless communication system, which processes time and space domain interference differently. The space domain filter detecting method comprises the following steps: firstly, the received signals are matched-combined in time domain and space domain; secondly, using the combined signals as an observation value, the space domain filtering is performed; thirdly, an estimated value is subtracted from the filtered signals, and the result is taken as a detection output, which is sent to a determiner in a non-error control coding system to get a hard determination output or is sent to a determiner in an error control coding system to get a soft determination output that is finally sent to a coder. The method promotes the transmission rate and the anti-interference ability and advances the spectrum efficiency.

Claims (7)

1. A space domain filter detecting method in a multi-antenna wireless communication system, which treats interference in time domain and interference in space domain differently, the method comprising:

Step 1: performing matched combination for a plurality of received signals in the time domain and the space domain to obtain combined signals;

Step 2: taking the combined signals as observation values of signals to be detected, and performing filtering in the space domain on the basis of corresponding criterions to obtain filtered signals;

Step 3: removing estimated values of interference signals from the filtered signals to obtain a detection output, and sending the detection output to a decider unit in an encoding system without error control to obtain a hard-decision output of symbols, or sending the detection output to a soft demodulator in an error control encoding system to obtain soft information of a plurality of transmitted bits, and then sending the hard-decision output of the symbols or the soft information of the plurality of transmitted bits to a decoder.

2. The space domain filter detecting method in a multi-antenna wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein, the space domain filtering is on the basis of Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion or Zero Forcing (ZF) criterion.

3. The space domain filter detecting method in a multi-antenna wireless communication system according to claim 1 , wherein, the filtering in the space domain is performed with a filter coefficient calculated according to an expectation and a variance of the interference signals.

4. The space domain filter detecting method in a multi-antenna wireless communication system according to claim 3 , wherein, the expectation and variance of the interference signals are obtained from the result of a last detection; and statistical information of the interference signals is provided by the output of the decoder.
