ABSTRACT

Multiple inputs multiple outputs (MIMO) realized through employing

multiple antennas at both transmitter and receiver provides low bit error rate and high

transmission rate as required by future digital wireless communication systems.

Space time coding and spatial multiplexing are the two approaches in exploiting

MIMO channel. This project proposes a new multiple inputs multiple output-

orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system employing

single parity check multidimensional turbo product codes (MDTPC) that will provide

high bit rate transmission with low bit error rate over correlated frequency selective

fading channels. The initial work is developing the dimensional-based reading order

(DBRO) algorithm for generating the MDTPC codeword sequences. The MDTPC

codeword sequence is then applied to MIMO-OFDM system that exploits space,

time, and frequency diversity and provides full-rate transmission. The system

provides diversity gain of 2.5 dB in signal to noise ratio (SNR) and coding gain of 3

dB. Spatial multiplexing space-time coded MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM system with

antennas grouping (AG-SMST-SPC-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM) is then developed to

increase the transmission rate. The result shows that the system provides a high

transmission rate of 8 bps/Hz at SNR of 10 dB using two groups of four transmit

antennas. The final task is designing the accurate channel estimation for the AG-

SMST-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM system employing pilot symbol assistance and least

square estimation using mean-square error criterion. The channel estimator achieves

mean-square error of 7x10-4 which is highly accurate. The proposed system provides

high transmission bit rate of 120 Mbps with bit error rate of 10-5 at SNR of 18 dB for

two groups of four transmit antennas. It can be implemented in wireless local area

network (WLAN) and can also be deployed in any broadband wireless system.

ABSTRAK

Masukan berganda keluaran berganda (MIMO) wujud dengan penggunaan

antena berganda pada kedua-dua pemancar dan penerima bagi menyediakan kadar

ralat bit rendah dan kadar penghantaran tinggi sebagaimana yang diperlukan oleh

sistem-sistem perhubungan digital wayarles masa hadapan. Pengekodan ruang masa

dan gandaan mengikut ruang adalah dua pendekatan penggunaan saluran MIMO.

Projek ini mencadangkan sebuah sistem masukan berganda keluaran berganda-

pemultiplek pembahagi frekuensi ortogonal (MIMO-OFDM) yang baru bagi

menjalankan pemeriksaan persamaan tunggal pengekodan sejajar turbo dimensi

rantaian (MDTPC) yang akan menyediakan kadar penghantaran bit tinggi dengan

kadar ralat bit rendah sepanjang saluran berpudar berkaitan frekuensi terpilih. Kerja

awal adalah membangunkan algoritma berdasar dimensi pembacaan urutan (DBRO)

untuk menjana urutan-urutan kod MDTPC. Urutan-urutan kod MDTPC kemudian

digunakan kepada sistem MIMO-OFDM yang mengeksploitasikan kepelbagian

ruang, masa, dan frekuensi dan menyediakan kadar penghantaran penuh. Sistem ini

menyediakan kepelbagian gandaan 2.5 dB dalam nisbah isyarat hingar (SNR) dan

pengekodan gandaan 3 dB. Gandaan ruang bagi ruang-masa berkod sistem MDTPC-

MIMO-OFDM dengan antena berkumpul (AG-SMST-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM)

kemudian dibangunkan untuk meningkatkan kelajuan penghantaran. Hasil kerja

menunjukkan bahawa sistem menyediakan kadar penghantaran yang tinggi iaitu 8

bps/Hz pada SNR 10 dB dengan menggunakan dua kumpulan yang terdiri daripada

empat antena. Kerja terakhir adalah merekabentuk pengiraan saluran bagi sistem

AG-SMST-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM dengan menggunakan pembantu simbol

berpandu dan penganggaran ganda dua terkecil menggunakan kriteria purata ralat

ganda dua. Penganggar saluran memperolehi purata ralat ganda dua 7x10-4 yang

mana adalah ketepatan yang tinggi. Sistem yang dicadangkan mencapai kadar

penghantaran 120 Mbps dengan kadar ralat bit 10-5 pada SNR 18 dB untuk dua group

dari empat antena penghantar. Ianya boleh digunakan dalam aplikasi rangkaian

kawasan tempatan wayarles (WLAN) dan boleh juga digunakan dalam mana-mana

sistem jalur lebar wayarles.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) has become a popular

technique for transmission of signal over wireless channel. OFDM converts a

frequency-selective channel into a parallel collection of frequency flat channels. The

sub-carriers have the minimum frequency separation required to maintain

orthogonality of their corresponding time domain waveforms, yet the signal spectra

corresponding to different sub-carriers overlap in frequency. Based on these

advantage, OFDM has been adopted in several wireless standards such as digital

audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB-T), the IEEE802.11a

(IEEE, 1999) local area network (LAN) standard and the IEEE 802.16a (IEEE, 2003)

metropolitan area network (MAN) standard. OFDM is also being pursued for

dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) for road side to vehicle

communications and as potential candidate for fourth-generation (4G) mobile

wireless systems.

The IEEE 802.11a LAN standard operates at raw data rates up to 54 Mbps

(channel condition permitting) with a 20 MHz channel spacing, thus yielding a

bandwidth efficiency of 2.7 bps/Hz (IEEE, 1999). The actual throughput is highly

dependent on the medium access control (MAC) protocol. Likewise, IEEE802.16a

operates in many modes depending on channel conditions with a data rate ranging

from 4.20 to 22.91 Mbps in typical bandwidth of 6 MHz, translating into bandwidth

2

efficiency of 0.7 to 3.82 bps/Hz (IEEE, 2003). Recent development of OFDM

combined with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) techniques promise a

significant performance boost. Broadband MIMO-OFDM systems with bandwidth

efficiency of the order of 10 bps/Hz are feasible for LAN/MAN environments

(Stubber et al., 2004).

MIMO system is an arrangement of multiple antennas that can be used at

transmitter and receiver. A MIMO system takes advantage of the spatial diversity

that is obtained by spatially separated antennas in a dense multi-path scattering

environment. MIMO systems may be implemented in a number of different ways to

provide a diversity gain and combat signal fading in order to obtain a capacity gain.

Generally, there are three different ways in exploiting MIMO system. The first

reason is to improve the power efficiency by maximizing spatial diversity. This

approaches provides low bit error rate at low signal to noise ratio (SNR). Such

techniques include delay diversity (Wittneben, 1993), space–time block codes

(STBC) (Alamouti, 1998; Tarokh et al., 1999) and space–time trellis codes (STTC)

(Tarokh et al., 1998). The second method uses a layered approach (spatial

multiplexing) to increase capacity. One popular example of such a system is V-

BLAST suggested by (Wolniansky et al. 1998) where full spatial diversity is usually

not achieved. Finally, the third type exploits the knowledge of channel at the

transmitter to maximize the link level capacity relate to capacity gain. It decomposes

the channel coefficient matrix using singular value decomposition (SVD) and uses

these decomposed unitary matrices as pre- and post-filters at the transmitter and the

receiver to achieve near capacity (Ha et al., 2002). This approach requires a

feedback channel from receiver to transmitter to send the channel parameters

experienced by the transmitted signals.

Spatial diversity improves the MIMO system in term of link reliability and

error-rate performance of the system (Bliss et al., 2004; Ajib and Haccoun, 2005).

STTC give high transmission rate with low error-rate at the cost of receiver

complexity that increased exponentially as the number of antenna increase. STBC

require linear decoding thus it is less complex. However, STBC does not provide

coding gain. Another disadvantage of STBC is that these code decrease the

3

transmission rate when the number of transmit antenna are more than two. Both

STTC and STBC are designed for flat fading channel and are not suitable for fast and

selective fading channel (Alamouti, 1998; Tarokh et al., 1998). On the other hand,

layered MIMO techniques are addressed to provide high transmission rate but

sacrifice the error rate performance. Since the distinct symbol streams are

transmitted from multiple transmit antennas, they will interfere each other that

introduce errors during transmission. To improve the error rate performance of the

layered MIMO, powerful coding techniques have to be used, such as turbo codes

(Jameel and Yu, 2003) and turbo product code (TPC) (Du and Chan, 2004). Turbo

code has high error correction capability among the error correcting codes. The

encoder and decoder of turbo codes are very complex since they work based on the

trellis diagram (trellis-based codes). TPC warrants less competent error correction

capability compared to turbo code with less complex encoder and decoder processing.

The existing decoder of TPC experiences the local minima in the convergence region

and converges gradually at slow rate.

1.2 Problem Statement

The existing space-time codes enhance the error rate performance of the

wireless transmission system over MIMO channels at the cost of decreasing the

transmission rate. Both STBC and STTC that employ several transmit antennas

produce maximum rate of only 3/4 symbol/s/Hz. The encoding and decoding of

STBC is simple, but STBC does not grant coding gain. On the other hand, STTC

provides coding gain but its encoding and decoding is complex. Furthermore, the

performance of these codes will degrade greatly when the fading is changing rapidly

within one transmitted symbol duration since the codes were designed for slow time

varying fading channel.

The performance of spatial multiplexing MIMO system can be enhanced

through the use of robust error correcting codes (Kothandaraman, 2002; Li et al.,

2003; Lee et al., 2003; Gidlund and Ahag, 2003; Du and Chan, 2005). The

4

performance enhancement can also be obtained by applying space-time codes onto

spatial multiplexing MIMO system (Mao and Motani, 2005; Wu et al., 2002). Other

means include developing accurate symbol detection at the receiver (Artes et al.,

2003), improving the signal shaping at the transmitter (Clerckx et al., 2004), and

grouping the transmitter antennas combined with space-time coding (Chen and

Haimovich, 2004; Xia et al., 2005). These approaches usually decrease the overall

transmission rate of the system. The usage of OFDM on spatial multiplexing MIMO

system will not only mitigate the effect of frequency-selectivity of the faded channels

but also enhance the spectrum efficiency of the channel. The OFDM signal will

divide the frequency-selective channel bandwidth into narrower flat channel

bandwidth since OFDM employs several narrowband subcarriers.

The performance of the MIMO-OFDM system is highly dependent on the

accuracy of the channel estimation schemes. The task on this issue is how to design

accurate channel estimation with low complexity and low symbol overhead on the

transmission. The most accurate channel estimation is pilot-symbol assisted (PSA)

channel estimation where the known symbol sequences at receiver are distributed

along the transmitted frame. This technique introduces high overhead when applied

to MIMO system since the pilot symbols are inserted at every transmitted frame.

Finding the optimal pilot training sequences for MIMO system is another issue that

should be explored. The optimization criteria are in terms of overhead and energy

consumption.

1.3 Objective of the Research

In order to increase the transmission rate and to improve the error rate

performance of MIMO-OFDM over wireless correlated frequency-selective fast

fading channels, the challenge is how to design the coding techniques that exploit the

space, time, and frequency diversity whilst providing full transmission rate (1

symbol/s/Hz). Another challenge is how to increase the channel capacity of the

MIMO OFDM system over time varying and frequency-selective fading channel. In

5

real system, the receiver of MIMO OFDM system requires the channel information

to perform detection and decoding, therefore the channel estimation of the full-rate

space-time coded MIMO OFDM system is another issue that should be investigated.

The objective of the research is to develop a MIMO-OFDM system design

that consist of channel coding, interleaving, space-time-frequency coding, spatial

multiplexer, and channel estimation. The design should fulfill the following features.

(i) Powerful channel code with high code rate and simple encoding and decoding

processes

(ii) Exploit space, time, and frequency diversity that will provide full rate

transmission

(iii) Employ spatial multiplexing to provide high transmission rate

(iv) Deploy low complexity MIMO detector with accurate channel estimation and

low overhead

The MIMO-OFDM system should achieve low bit error rate at low power

transmission (SNR).

1.4 Scope of the Research

The research will develop the MIMO-OFDM system that will function well

in correlated multipath frequency selective fast fading wireless channel. High rate

multidimensional turbo product code (MDTPC) will be used as error correcting code

and also for granting space, time, and frequency diversity in the system. Amplitude

modulator is used to convert the coded bit to the modulated symbols and then

transform to sub-carriers in OFDM block using inverse fast Fourier transformation.

These OFDM symbols will be transmitted trough multiple transmit antenna.

Multiple antennas are also employed at the receiver with OFDM demodulator

at each branch. Fast Fourier transformation (FFT) is used to convert the OFDM

symbols (time domain) to modulated symbols (frequency domain). These modulated

6

symbols composed of transmitted symbols from all transmit antennas and MIMO

detector will be used to separate them again. After computing the soft detected

coded bits, soft iterative decoding will be performed using parallel MDTPC decoder.

The recovery information bits will be obtained by applying hard decision. These bits

will be used for investigating the behavior and performance of the system

The development of the above system consists of several phases. The first

phase is designing high rate MDTPC. Single parity check code (SPC) has been

selected to be used as component code of MDTPC to provide high code rate. The

possible codewords are generated from MDTPC and the mapping functions are

derived. The performance of MDTPC has been improved by developing parallel

iterative MDTPC decoder with weighting feedback. Mathematical analysis and

computer simulation using MATLAB has been developed to study the performance

of MDTPC over additive white Gaussian noise channel (AWGN) and Rayleigh

fading channel.

The second phase is to provide the space, time, and frequency diversity in

MIMO OFDM system by employing the possible codeword sequences of MDTPC.

Space and time diversity has been exploited by transmitting the possible codeword

sequences through different transmit antennas. Frequency diversity is obtained by

employing OFDM modulator at the transmitter. These space-time codes ST-MDTPC

provides full transmission rate (1 symbol/s/Hz). In order to increase the transmission

rate, the spatial multiplexing with antenna grouping defined as AG-SMST-MDTPC-

MIMO-OFDM has been developed. Optimum MIMO detector has been developed

using maximum likelihood (ML) decision criteria, while, sub optimum detector was

designed using zero forcing (ZF) detection. Mathematical models and computer

simulation has been expanded to investigate the system performance in frequency

selective multipath fading channel. The channel response samples are assumed to be

perfectly estimated and available at the receiver.

The final phase of the work is developing the channel estimation for AG-

SMST-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM system employing pilot symbol sequences. The

search of optimum pilot sequences for least square (LS) adaptation algorithm with

7

regard to mean square error (MSE) criteria has been performed. A recursive LS

(RLS) algorithm is used to enhance the performance of the overall system.

Mathematical model and simulation using MATLAB is extended to investigate the

channel estimation performance and the system performance. The channel is

assumed to be frequency selective fast fading channel and the response samples of

these channels are correlated and Rayleigh distributed random variables.

1.5 Significance of the Work

The proposed AG-SMST-MTDC-MIMO-OFDM system is a baseband

processing part of a transmission (and receiver) system that can be applied to any

existing standard such as the IEEE 802.11a WLAN Standard. The significant works

in this research is developing that can be stated as follows:

• Generating possible codeword sequences of the MDTPC codes and

developing the corresponding mapping functions.

• Developing the full rate space-time code using the possible codeword

sequences of MDTPC for any number of transmit antennas. When

combining with OFDM transmission, the frequency diversity will be

available at the system.

• Developing the spatial multiplexing with antennas grouping while providing

space, time, and frequency diversity.

• Developing the channel estimation by employing pilot symbol assisted

sequences for AG-SMST-MDTPC-MIMO-OFDM system in correlated and

frequency selective fading channel. Optimum pilot sequences criteria are

derived in terms of overhead and energy consumption. Recursive adaptation

algorithm is developed.

The proposed system will generate wireless transmission system with high

transmission rate at multiple the numbers of antenna groups. Furthermore, the system

will endure low bit error rate and require low power transmission at high

8

transmission rate. The system can be easily extended to be applicable to any wireless

communication system standards such as WLAN, DAB, DVB, and DSRC.
