A Novel and Efficient Vector Quantization Based CPRI Compression Algorithm

The future wireless network, such as Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN), will need to deliver data rate about 100 to 1000 times the current 4G technology. For C-RAN based network architecture, there is a pressing need for tremendous enhancement of the effective data rate of the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI). Compression of CPRI data is one of the potential enhancements. In this paper, we introduce a vector quantization based compression algorithm for CPRI links, utilizing Lloyd algorithm. Methods to vectorize the I/Q samples and enhanced initialization of Lloyd algorithm for codebook training are investigated for improved performance. Multi-stage vector quantization and unequally protected multi-group quantization are considered to reduce codebook search complexity and codebook size. Simulation results show that our solution can achieve compression of 4 times for uplink and 4.5 times for downlink, within 2% Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) distortion. Remarkably, vector quantization codebook proves to be quite robust against data modulation mismatch, fading, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Doppler spread.

Improving PPM Algorithm Using Dictionaries

We propose a method to improve traditional character-based PPM text compression algorithms. Consider a text file as a sequence of alternating words and non-words, the basic idea of our algorithm is to encode non-words and prefixes of words using character-based context models and encode suffixes of words using dictionary models. By using dictionary models, the algorithm can encode multiple characters as a whole, and thus enhance the compression efficiency. The advantages of the proposed algorithm are: 1) it does not require any text preprocessing; 2) it does not need any explicit codeword to identify switch between context and dictionary models; 3) it can be applied to any character-based PPM algorithms without incurring much additional computational cost. Test results show that significant improvements can be obtained over character-based PPM, especially in low order cases.
