Receiving method and receiving apparatus
View Patent ↗All data symbols used in data transmission of a modulated signal are precoded by switching between precoding matrices so that the precoding matrix used to precode each data symbol and the precoding matrices used to precode data symbols that are adjacent to the data symbol along the frequency axis and the time axis all differ. A modulated signal with such data symbols arranged therein is transmitted.
1. A reception method comprising:
acquiring a reception signal by obtaining a first transmission signal z 1 and a second transmission signal z 2 respectively transmitted from a first antenna and a second antenna at a same time at a same frequency, the first transmission signal z 1 and the second transmission signal z 2 being respectively generated by performing predetermined generation process on a first modulated symbol sequence s 1 and a second modulated symbol sequence s 2 that are each generated from an encoding block using a predetermined error correction block encoding method;
acquiring a reception quality information of the acquired reception signal;
displaying the acquired reception quality information; and
performing demodulation on the acquired reception signal according to the generation process to generate reception data in each slot, each slot being a time-frequency resource for transmitting one modulated symbol, wherein
the generation process includes:
selecting a matrix F[i] from among N matrices while switching among the N matrices, for each of N slots, the N matrices each defining precoding performed on a plurality of modulated symbols, i being an integer from 0 to N−1, each of the N matrices being selected once within an N-slot period, and N being an integer 3 or greater; and
performing, in each slot, precoding defined by the selected matrix F[i] on each of the first modulated symbol sequence s 1 and the second modulated symbol sequence s 2 to generate the first transmission signal z 1 and the second transmission signal z 2 .
2. The reception method of claim 1 , wherein
the reception method is used in a 2-Tx system.
3. A reception apparatus comprising:
a reception signal acquirer configured to acquire a reception signal by obtaining a first transmission signal z 1 and a second transmission signal z 2 respectively transmitted from a first antenna and a second antenna at a same time at a same frequency, the first transmission signal z 1 and the second transmission signal z 2 being respectively generated by performing predetermined generation process on a first modulated symbol sequence s 1 and a second modulated symbol sequence s 2 that are each generated from an encoding block using a predetermined error correction block encoding method;
a reception quality information acquirer configured to acquire reception quality information of the acquired reception signal;
a display configured to display the acquired reception quality information; and
a demodulator configured to perform demodulation on the acquired reception signal according to the generation process to generate reception data in each slot, each slot being a time-frequency resource for transmitting one modulated symbol, wherein
the generation process includes:
selecting a matrix F[i] from among N matrices while switching among the N matrices, for each of N slots, the N matrices each defining precoding performed on a plurality of modulated symbols, i being an integer from 0 to N−1, each of the N matrices being selected once within an N-slot period, and N being an integer 3 or greater; and
performing, in each slot, precoding defined by the selected matrix F[i] on each of the first modulated symbol sequence s 1 and the second modulated symbol sequence s 2 to generate the first transmission signal z 1 and the second transmission signal z 2 .
