Maximum Ratio Combining
- class MaximumRatioCombining
Bases:
hermespy.precoding.symbol_precoder.SymbolPrecoder,hermespy.core.factory.SerializableMaximum ratio combining symbol decoding step
Symbol Precoder initialization.
- yaml_tag: str = 'MRC'
YAML serialization tag.
- encode(symbol_stream)
Encode a data stream before transmission.
This operation may modify the number of streams as well as the number of data symbols per stream.
- Parameters
symbol_stream (np.ndarray) – An MxN matrix of data symbol streams feeding into the precoding step to be encoded. The first matrix dimension M represents the number of streams, the second dimension N the number of discrete data symbols.
- Returns
A matrix of M’xN’ encoded data symbol streams. The first matrix dimension M’ represents the number of streams after encoding, the second dimension N’ the number of discrete data symbols after encoding.
- Return type
np.ndarray
- Raises
NotImplementedError – If an encoding operation is not supported
- decode(symbol_stream, stream_responses, stream_noises)
Decode a data stream before reception.
This operation may modify the number of streams as well as the number of data symbols per stream.
- Parameters
symbol_stream (np.ndarray) – An MxN matrix of data symbol streams feeding into the precoding step to be decoded. The first matrix dimension M represents the number of streams, the second dimension N the number of discrete data symbols.
channel_state (ChannelStateInformation) – The channel state estimates for each input symbol within input_stream.
stream_noises (np.ndarray) – The noise variances for each data symbol within symbol_stream. Identical dimensionality to input_stream.
- Returns
- A matrix of M’xN’ decoded data symbol streams.
The first matrix dimension M’ represents the number of streams after decoding, the second dimension N’ the number of discrete data symbols after decoding.
- ChannelStateInformation:
Updated channel state information after decoding.
- np.ndarray:
A matrix of M’xN’ data symbol noise estimations after this decoding step.
- Return type
np.ndarray
- Raises
NotImplementedError – If a decoding operation is not supported
- property num_input_streams: int
Required number of input symbol streams for encoding / number of resulting output streams after decoding.
- Returns
The number of symbol streams.
- Return type
int
- property num_output_streams: int
Required number of input symbol streams for decoding / number of resulting output streams after encoding.
- Returns
The number of symbol streams.
- Return type
int
