The invention discloses a 16
QAM demodulation method in a time division synchronous
code division multiple access system, comprising the steps of: rotating the received
signal and the coordinates of the
constellation diagram where it is located by 45 degrees
clockwise, and calculating the possible logarithmic likelihood ratio of b0 0, 0 takes the maximum value of the calculation results, if 0 is greater than 0, then b0 is 0, otherwise b0 is 1; rotate the aforementioned
signal and the coordinates of the original
constellation diagram counterclockwise by 45 degrees, and calculate b1 according to the aforementioned method; according to b0, The
demodulation result of b1 adjusts the aforementioned
signal, and calculates 2 and 3 according to 2=x+y, 3=y-x. If the calculation result is greater than 0, the
demodulation result of the corresponding bit is 0; otherwise, the demodulation result is 1. The present invention adopts the combination of
phase rotation and segmented function, demodulation soft judgment mode, realizes 16
QAM soft demodulation conveniently, not only has less calculation amount, but also guarantees demodulation performance effectively, thereby improves 16
QAM in TD-SCDMA
system demodulation efficiency and quality.
