摘要

多天線系統(Multi-input Multi-output，常簡稱 MIMO) 是利用發射端的多個天線各自獨立發送信號，同時在接收端用多個天線接收並恢復原訊息；其中可利用多天線來抑制通道衰減（channel fading）。當此系統所處之傳輸環境為相當穩定，即通道以緩慢的速率改變時；若系統為分時多工系統(TDD)，則可藉由通道的交互原理或經由回授通道，使傳送端得到有關於通道的資訊，包含通道之衰減特性或其統計特性。預先編碼器(precoder)是指資料由天線被傳送之前，先將欲傳送信號進行處理，以提高傳輸品質或資料吞吐量(throughput)；系統則根據通道特性設計出適當的預先編碼器。預先編碼器根據接收端所提供的通道矩陣來調整各天線傳送功率的分布，以及將此多天線所構成之通道分解為各自獨立的子通道，以降低接收端偵測之複雜度；另外，依據輸入信號之間的相關性，做適度的調整，以提高資料吞吐量及降低傳送錯誤率。
在分解通道部份，傳統的預先編碼器是利用奇異分解 (SVD)，將通道矩陣轉為對角矩陣；但是由於奇異分解需要龐大的運算，而加大系統的複雜度。為了降低系統的負擔，我們試著找出較低複雜度的演算法來完成通道分解的部份；在本論文中，則利用LU Decomposition (LUD) 將通道矩陣轉換為對角矩陣。經由模擬的結果顯示，我們所提出的演算法相較於傳統利用奇異分解 (SVD) 的方式，擁有更好的效能且較低的複雜度。

Communications over multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels have been a subject of intense research over the past several years. For a MIMO communication system, if the communication environment is relatively stationary, the channel information is possible via feedback or the reciprocal principle when time division duplex (TDD) is used. The precoder designed by the channel information can
process the transmitting symbol before transmission. It can used to adjust the power of the singles and match the channel matrix H and the input-shaping matrix Q. The communication system can increase the transmission reliability and decrease the detection complexity by the precoder.
The conventional precoder is designed by singular value decomposition (SVD) which is exploited to diagonalize the channel matrix H. However the computational complexity of SVD is large, it will increase the cost of the system. In order to reduce the cost of the system, we try to find a novel algorithm to diagonalize the channel matrix H. In this thesis, LU decomposition (LUD) is utilized to diagonalize the channel matrix H. The simulation result shows that our proposed algorithm has better performance and lower complexity than the conventional SVD.
