1 A RANK CRITERION FOR QAM SPACE-TIME CODES WITH APPLICATION TO TURBO CODING Youjian Liu, Michael? Fitz, Oscar I: Takeshita, and Zhongxin Han ABSTRACT SufJicient conditions to ensure QAM space-time codes achieve full space diversity in quasi-static fading channel are presented. The conditions are on code words or generator matrices instead of on every code word pair. This the check of full space diversity of a code. Based on these conditions, full space diversity parallel concatenated turbo codes are proposed to use in a multiple element antenna environment. Comparing with space-time trellis codes, the simulations show it has robust performance at both quasi-static fading channel and time varying fading channel. 1. INTRODUCTION For wireless communication, the design goal of so called space-time codes [ 11 is to take advantage of both the spatial diversity provided by multiple antennas and the temporal diversity available with time-varying fading. In quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel, each possible code word difference in a coded modulation produces a signal matrix. Increasing the rank of a signal matrix increases the amount of diversity in demodulation and reduces the pair-wise error probability [l, 21. If the code length in time, N,, is larger than the number of transmit antennas, Lt, the maximum possible rank of a signal matrix is Lt. A code is said to achieve full space diversity when the rank of every signal matrix corresponding to every code word pair is equal to Lt. While the ranks of the signal matrices are defined over the complex number field, traditional code design is usually carried out in finite fields or finite rings. This discrepancy causes a serious obstacle in the design. The paper by Hammons and El Gama1 [3] represents an important first step to bridge this discrepancy. They provided a binary rank criteria for binary BPSK codes and Z?4 QPSK This work was supported by National Science Foundation under Grant NCR Y. Liu, M. P. Fitz, and 0. Y.

More recently, the design of PSK modulated space-time codes are also addressed by Blum [4]. In [5], we provide a theory for the design of space-time codes in quasi-static Rayleigh fading channel with higher order of constellation (22k QAM), such as QPSK, 16 QAM, 64 QAM, etc. It includes the BPSK binary rank criterion in [3] as a special case. For QPSK constellation, it is applicable to GF(4) codes instead of iz4 codes as in [3]. Consequently, many traditional codes and turbo codes can be modified to be space-time codes. Some space-time trellis codes may have low level of diversity in space-time correlated fading channels [2]. Lower performance is caused by the interaction between the channel structure and the code structure. A random coding structure would reduce this interaction. Turbo coding is the current best way to build decodable random codes. The inherent rich structure of turbo codes will likely to provide robust performance in the variety of channels that will likely be encountered in wireless practice. Efforts have been made to adapt turbo codes to multiple transmit antennas environment. A discussion of other groups work can be found in [5]. In [6], the BPSK binary rank criterion [3] is used to ensure full space diversity of the parallel concatenated turbo codes. Although parallel concatenated QPSK spacetime turbo codes has been proposed in [7,8], full space diversity is not guaranteed due to the lack of proper theory. The &-rank criterion developed in [5] enables us to design full space diversity QPSK turbo codes. In Section 2, we give the signal models and explain the space-time code design criteria. Section 3 presents the theory of CO-rank criterion. As an application of the theory, the design and performance of QPSK space-time turbo codes are given in Section 4. Section 5 concludes. 2. MODELS AND PERFORMANCE CRITERIA A space-time code word J is an N, by Lt matrix with elements drawn from a finite alphabet. The code symbol matrix D is defined as D = f(j), where f(0) is an elementwise constellation mapping from the finite alphabet to points /00/$ IEEE 193
2 Definition 1 (Ring Zgk(j)) The ring &k(j) is afinite set and k is a positive integel: Each element V has the form, Figure 1: A system with 2 transmit antennas and 2 receive antennas. of a constellation on the complex plane. The element at ith column and jth row of D, Di(j), is transmitted from ith antenna at time j. Note that, in this paper, the variable in the subscript is used to indicate the column of a matrix if not explicitly specified. Let L, be the number of receive antennas. The signals transmitted from each antenna experience spatial independent quasi-static Rayleigh fading. The matched filter output of the received signal at kth receive antenna from time 1 to N, is o k = D6k + ~ k, (1) where Qk is an N, by 1 is N, by 1 complex Additive White Gaussian NoGe (AWGN) vector with one side power spectrum No, and c k is an Lt by 1 fading coefficient vector. Let Ck,l denote the P element of 6k. ck,l models a Rayleigh fading channel common in wireless communications by being zero mean complex Gaussian random variable. Ck,l's are assumed independent for different k or 1 and known to the receiver. Figure 1 shows an example of such system with 2 transmit antennas and 2 receive antennas. Considering two code symbol matrices, D" and DO, the code symbol difference matrix Z is defined as Z = D" - DO. With a goal of minimizing the pair-wise error probability, the quasi-static fading channel design criteria [ 1,2] are to maximize the rank of code symbol difference matrix Z and maximize the product of nonzero eigenvalues of ZHZ for all pairs of code words. 3. THEORY OF RANK CRITERIA In [5], sufficient conditions are provided to ensure full space diversity of a code using QAM Modulation. The main results are presented here without proof Preliminary Definitions The full space diversity rank criteria developed in [5] are for codes defined on the ring z zk(j). In the sequel, en and en are used to denote the modulo n addition and subtraction, and subscript n is dropped if the context is clear. Subscripts I and Q will be used to indicate the real part and imaginary part of a complex number or a matrix. where the real part Vi and imaginary part VQ are integers in z 2h and j2 = -1 = k. In thispapel; nonnegative integers in (0, 1,. -., 2k - 1) are used to label elements in z2k. The addition and multiplication in this ring are the addition and multiplication in complex numberjeld followed by modulo 2k operation on the real part and the imaginary part. Definition 2 (Linear &k (j) Code with 'hamlation Map- ping) A linear z 2k(j) code c is a set of code words which form an additive group. Each code word J is an N, by Lt matrix with elements in the ring Zgk(j). The linearity implies that ifj", Jp E C, then Jp E C. Each code word matrix J is mapped to a complex code symbol matrix D by the translation, D = J - ( (2k - 1)/2 + j (zk - 1 )/2). It results in a 22k QAM constellation, A linear Z 2k(j) code can be represented as a linear transformation from information sequence to code word: where f is an &k input information sequence, denotes the ith column of the code word matrix, and Gi is the Z 2k (j) generator matrix for ith antenna. Definition 3 (C,-Coefficients) Coeficients, 01, 02,..., OL, in z :ak(j) are said to be C,-coeficients ifthere exists a* such that ai* + bp is odd, where jbi. = ai*. Definition 4 (Column &-Rank) A matrix V over the ring zzk(j) has column CO-rank L ifl is the maximum number of column vectors of V, such that for any C,-coeficients, 01, 02,..., a ~. The row &,-rank can be similarly defined. Since column &-rank and row CO-rank are equal [5], they are called CO-rank. Definition5 (Full &-Rank) An m by n matrix V over ring zzk(j) is said to be offull CO-rank if it has CO-rank equal to the minimum of m and n. 194
3 3.2. CO-Rank Criterion The sufficient conditions on code words are given first. Theorem 1 (CO-Rank Criterion) Let C be a linear Zp(j) code with translation mapping to 22k QAM constellation. If every nonzero code word J E C has full CO-rank, then C achieves full space diversity. For linear codes, the conditions can be translated into the conditions on the generator matrices. Theorem 2 Let C be a linear z 2k(j) code. The ith column of the code word matrix is dejined as = Gif, (4) where Tis the information sequence in z2k(j), Gi is the generator matrix for ith antenna. Iffor all CO-coeficients, 011, 012,..., QL~, and for all nonzero information sequence, rl 0 if fd't=o,new 0 0 fd'bo. ATBT.

Thus, the code achieves full space diversity. 4. APPLICATIONS The analysis of the existing space-time codes and construction of new space-time codes using the CO-rank criterion are detailed in [5]. In this section, we present a 16 QAM example trellis code and QPSK full space diversity turbo code design Space-Time Trellis Code The &-rank criterion can reduce the computation in the search for good space-time trellis codes by identifying full space diversity codes. We give an example of 16 QAM linear %4(j) space-time trellis code with rate 4 bitdsymbol and 16 states found using the criterion. The generator polynomials with z as dummy variable are Figure 3: Space-time turbo code encoder for 2 transmit antenna system Space-Time Turbo Codes 4.2. I. Encoder Design The encoder of the proposed space-time turbo code [7] is composed of a turbo code followed by the operation of puncturing, channel interleaving and multiplexing (Figure 3). As an example, we consider a rate 2/4 turbo code [9] with 2 transmit antenna and QPSK modulation. Figure 4 illustrates the structure of the turbo code. Let H,, be the matrix correspond_ing the transfer function from 3') to?(j), where 8') and V(J) are the binary inpyt and_ output of the component code of the turbo code. If (V(l), V(2)) are mapped to QPSK symbols using the Gray mapping, then the space-time turbo code can be viewed as a linear %2(j) code with ith column of a code word as The simulation results are plotted in Figure 2 together with the performance of optimal product measure delay diversity 16 state 16 QAM code [I]. In the simulation, each frame corresponds to 260 information bits. With two receive antennas, the performance of our new code, which is the solid line in the plot, is 1 db better than the delay diversity code, which is the dash line in the plot. where matrix P corresponds to the. information interleaver and matrix Mi corresponds to the operation of puncturing, channel interleaving and multiplexing. 195

It is difficult to find a systematic method to construct the matrix P and Mi so that GI and Gz satisfy Theorem 2. However, the chance is high that a randomly picked information interleaver and channel interleaver result in a full space diversity code Decoder The optimal decoding of a space-time turbo code is complicated for the following reasons. First, the received signal is a linear combination of symbols from different transmit antennas and the noise. Secondly, the inputs of the component encoders are interleaved versions of the same information bits sequence as in turbo code. However, we can use a suboptimal iterative algorithm like that for turbo decoding to decode the code. The decoder diagram is shown in Figure 5 for the case of two receive antennas. The fading coefficients are assumed known to the receiver. The matched filter output is used to calculate the likelihood of the channel symbols. In the first iteration, channel symbols from different transmit antenna are assumed to have equal a priori probability. The turbo decoder uses the likelihood information to do one iteration of standard turbo decoding and produces a priori probability of the channel symbols. The channel symbol decoder uses the new a priori probability to refine the likelihood information about the channel symbols which is the start of the second iteration. After several iterations, hard decisions on information bits are made based on the soft information provided by the turbo decoder. Figure 6: Performance in quasi-static fading channel for 3 different cases Simulation Results The performance of the example code without puncture mentioned in Section 4.2.1, whose turbo encoder is shown in Figure 4, is evaluated by simulation. In the simulation, each frame corresponds to 260 information bits. The rate of the code is 2 bitskymbol. The performance with one receive antenna in quasi-static fading channel is shown in Figure 6. There are three cases. In the first case, the information interleaver and the channel interleaver are randomly chosen. The outputs of each component code of the turbo code are multiplexed to two transmit antennas. The code does not satisfy the CO-rank criterion and rank deficient error event did happen in the simulation. In the second case, the generator matrices satisfy the CO-rank criterion after several trials of random information interleaver and channel interleaver. Therefore, it is a full space diversity code. The third case is also a full space diversity code. But different from the first and the second case, there is no multiplexing, which means that all the outputs from one component code are transmitted only on one antenna. For comparison, the performance of a 64 state space-time trellis code in [ 11 and the outage capacity [IO] are also shown in the plot. At low SNR, all the three cases have performances close to the 64 state trellis code. When the SNR increases, the frame error rates of the first two cases do not decrease as much as that of the 64 state code. The performance of the second case showed better slope than the first case since it is a full diversity code. The performance curve of the third case has the same slope as the 64 state code and is 2.5 db away from the outage capacity at frame error rate The third case performs better than the second case. This is counter intuitive since in the second case, with multiplexing, the outputs of one component code experience spatial in- 196
5 sity [5] are presented. The conditions are on code words or generator matrices instead of on every code word pair. As an application example, a full space diversity 16 QAM trellis code is found, which has 1 db gain over the one with delay diversity [I] when two receive antennas are used. Methods are given to design full space diversity parallel concatenated turbo codes. The simulation results of an example code demonstrate that we can use very simple component codes to obtain equal performance as a space-time trellis codes with 64 states [l]. In fast fading channels, the performance improves by 8 db with the additional temporal diversity. Figure 7: Robustness of performance in slow to fast fading #, channel..i m, 0 01 mwwspnd.lgt Figure 8: Performance gain over 32 state space-time trellis code at different Doppler spread. dependent fading and should results in better performance. Further investigation is needed to understand it. Figure 7 shows the performance of case 3 with different Doppler spread. The performance improved significantly when the temporal diversity is available. At frame error rate 0.01, the performance corresponds to the independent fading has a gain of 8 db over the quasi-static fading case. The performance of case 2 is also compared with the performance of a 32 state space-time trellis code [ 111 at different Doppler spreads. At frame error rate 0.01, the performance gain in terms of E,/No per receive antenna is shown in Figure 8. The gain increases with the Doppler spread. In independent fading channel, the gain is as much as 6.4 db. These figures show that the space-time turbo code has a significantly rich structure to take advantage of both the temporal and yatial diversity. 5.
