Detailed Description

Base class for N-dimensional vector (MIMO) channel modulators/demodulators with real-valued components.

This class can be used to perform modulation and demodulation for a matrix (MIMO) channel of the form

$y = Hx+e$

, where H is the channel matrix of dimension $n_r\times n_t$ , $y$ is a received vector of length $n_r$ , $x$ is a transmitted vector of length $n_t$ and $e$ is a noise vector.

The class supports soft-input soft-output demodulation. It can also be used for scalar modulation to take advantage of this feature.

Complex MIMO channels can be handled by using the Modulator_NCD class. Alternatively, if the signal constellation is separable in I/Q then the complex channel can be first transformed to a real channel

$G = \left[ \begin{array}{cc} H_r & -H_i \\ H_i & H_r \end{array} \right]$

See ND_UPAM for examples.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum itpp::Modulator_ND::Soft_Demod_Method [inherited]

Soft demodulation method.

Enumerator:

FULL_ENUM_LOGMAP	Log-MAP demodulation by "brute-force" enumeration of all points.
ZF_LOGMAP	Zero-Forcing Log-MAP approximated demodulation.

Member Function Documentation

void itpp::Modulator_NRD::demodulate_soft_bits	(	const vec &	y,
		const vec &	h,
		double	sigma2,
		const QLLRvec &	LLR_apriori,
		QLLRvec &	LLR_aposteriori
	)

Soft MAP demodulation for parallelchannels without crosstalk.

This function is a much faster equivalent to demodulate_soft_bits with $H = \mbox{diag}(h)$ . Its complexity is linear in the number of subchannels.

void itpp::Modulator_NRD::demodulate_soft_bits	(	const vec &	y,
		const mat &	H,
		double	sigma2,
		const QLLRvec &	LLR_apriori,
		QLLRvec &	LLR_aposteriori
	)

Soft MAP demodulation for multidimensional channel, by "brute-force" enumeration of all constellation points.

This function computes the LLR values

$LLR(k) = \log \left( \frac {\sum_{s:b_k=0} \exp \left( -\frac{|y - Hs|^2}{2\sigma^2} \right) P(s)} {\sum_{s:b_k=1} \exp \left( -\frac{|y - Hs|^2}{2\sigma^2} \right) P(s)} \right)$

without approximations. It is assumed that H, y and s are real-valued. Complex-valued channels can be handled using the Modulator_NCD class.

Parameters:

`[in]`	y	Received vector
`[in]`	H	Channel matrix
`[in]`	sigma2	Noise variance per real dimension (typically )
`[in]`	LLR_apriori	Vector of a priori LLR values per bit
`[out]`	LLR_aposteriori	Vector of a posteriori LLR values

The function performs an exhaustive search over all possible points s in the n-dimensional constellation. This is only feasible for relatively small constellations. The Jacobian logarithm is used to compute the sum-exp expression.

		const mat &	H,
		double	sigma2,
		const QLLRvec &	LLR_apriori,
		Soft_Demod_Method	method
	)

Soft demodulation wrapper function for various methods.

Currently the following two demodulation methods are supported:

FULL_ENUM_LOGMAP - exact demodulation, which use "brute-force" enumeration of all constellation points
ZF_LOGMAP - approximated methods with Zero-Forcing preprocessing, which sometimes tends to perform poorly, especially for poorly conditioned H

Parameters:

`[in]`	y	Received vector
`[in]`	H	Channel matrix
`[in]`	sigma2	Noise variance per real dimension (typically )
`[in]`	LLR_apriori	Vector of a priori LLR values per bit
`[in]`	method	Soft demodulation method

Returns:: Vector of a posteriori LLR values
