no. 1 approach

[0044] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. figure 1is a block diagram of the power line communication system 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the power line communication system 1000 , a transmitting device 100 and a receiving device 200 are communicably coupled through a power line 10 .

[0045] First, the configuration of the transmitting device 100 is described. The transmitting device 100 includes a forward error correction (FEC) encoder 110, a modulator 120, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) unit 130, a cyclic prefix (CP) extension unit 140, a window function unit 150, and an analog front end (AFE) Unit 160.

[0046] The FEC encoder 110 applies an encoding process to TX data by using a preceding error correction code such as a convolutional code.

[0047] Modulator 120 applies modulation to the encoded TX data. Here, the modulator 120 performs...

[0075] The receiving device according to the second embodiment is designed to generate weighting factors by calculating the variance of the norm as a variation of the norm. Description is made below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that a description part of the configuration described in the first embodiment is omitted for clarity of the present invention.

[0076] Figure 4 is a block diagram of the demodulator 350 according to the second embodiment. In the demodulator 350 , a weighting factor generator 353 generates weighting factors based on the norm calculated in the norm calculator 252 . The weighting factor generator 353 includes a norm variance calculator 354 and a norm variance storage unit 355 .

[0077] The norm variance calculator 354 calculates the variance of the norm for each subcarrier output from the norm calculator 252 . if x k is the norm of the subcarrier signal in the kth symbol in a certain subcarrier, then the norm variance calculat...

no. 3 approach

[0090] In the second embodiment described above, the variance calculated based on the norm of each subcarrier is used as a weighting factor for weighting. Such as Figure 6 As shown in , this is because when the expected value of the norm μ is large enough relative to σ (ie, the SN is large enough), it can be approximated as μ 2 Signal power, σ 2 noise power.

[0091] However, when the expected value is close to σ (i.e., when no SN is achieved), σ 2 The approximation of the noise power does not have large deviations, while μ 2 The approximation of signal power is not true. Such as Figure 7 As shown in , this is because when the noise N is large, the ratio of elements of the phase that is folded beyond 180 degrees and added increases. Such contributions are not negligible, and therefore, there is a difference between the observed values ​​and the probability density function.

[0092] Therefore, the receiving device according to the third embodiment of the present inven...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a receiving device, a signal processing device, and a signal processing method. Specifically, the receiving device according to the present invention includes: a receiver for receiving OFDM symbols modulated by phase shift keying; an FFT processor for applying FFT processing to the received OFDM symbols to obtain subcarrier signals; demapping A unit for demapping the subcarrier signal to generate a bit string; a norm calculator for calculating the norm of the subcarrier signal; a weighting factor generator for generating a weighting factor by taking statistics of the calculated norm; and A weighting unit is configured to weight the demapped bit string based on a specific weighting factor to obtain a soft decision value. Therefore, the receiving device can obtain soft decision values ​​to achieve good decoding performance with a smaller number of known signals and processes.
