Multi-antenna wireless relay MIMO system and transmission method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a multi-antenna wireless relay MIMO system based on orthogonal space modulation and a transmission method thereof.
Background
Spatial Modulation (SM) to improve transmission performance in wireless communication systems[1-3]The antenna can not only transmit information by using modulation symbols, but also transmit information by using the spatial position of the antenna, which is a transmission scheme that people pay more and more attention to. Quadrature Spatial Modulation (QSM)[4]Is a novel space modulation technology which can eliminate the correlation of channels so as to improve the performance of the MIMO communication system[5-7]. The orthogonal space modulation divides a group of information bit stream into three parts in each transmission time slot, one part is mapped into corresponding M-QAM modulation symbols according to the adopted modulation mode, and the other two parts are respectively used for mapping the antenna positions of the real part and the imaginary part of the transmitted modulation symbols.
In wireless communication network, relay transmission mode can extend wireless coverage[8]Can improve the reliability of the wireless network[9]To improve transmission performance of a relay MIMO communication system [10]]A multi-relay AF-MISO communication system based on orthogonal spatial modulation is researched in a multi-relay wireless communication system; document [11]In order to improve the error code performance of a wireless relay system with a direct route between receiving and transmitting, a DF-MISO communication system based on orthogonal space modulation is researched; and document [12 ]]The error code performance of the two-way relay cooperative communication system based on orthogonal space modulation under the decoding forwarding protocol is researched. In the relay transmission system based on orthogonal spatial modulation in the wireless communication network, the relay node is a single antenna.
