Embodiment
The embodiment of the invention provides a kind of method and device of definite maximum multipath time delay, in order to obtaining maximum multipath time delay more accurately, thereby improves the channel estimating effect and the demodulation performance of system, makes systematic function improve greatly.
The said tap of the embodiment of the invention is meant the channel estimation value on each sampled point in the time domain channel estimating window, and said tap comprises effective diameter and noise path.
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the embodiment of the invention is described.
Referring to Fig. 1, the method for a kind of definite maximum multipath time delay that the embodiment of the invention provides totally comprises step:
S101, confirm the time domain channel estimated value of channel.
S102, the power threshold of the time domain channel estimated value of channel with the channel effective diameter that is provided with in advance compared, and confirm the maximum effective diameter of time delay in the channel according to comparative result.
S103, utilize the maximum pairing time delay of effective diameter of time delay in the channel, confirm the maximum multipath time delay of channel.
Preferably, the method for definite maximum multipath time delay that the embodiment of the invention provides is to carry out in the cycle, can be that every frame carries out once, also can be that every separated some frames carry out once.Promptly before step S101, further comprise the step of monitoring predetermined period, when the cycle arrives, execution in step S101.And; Preferably; After step S103 has confirmed the maximum multipath time delay of channel in the current period; Further calculated the maximum multipath time delay of channel in the current period and the mean value of the maximum multipath time delay of this channel in last one-period, and upgrade the maximum multipath time delay of the interior channel of current period with this mean value.
Step S101 confirms that the method for the time domain channel estimated value of channel can have multiple; For example, generally speaking, in ofdm system in order to reduce overhead; Pilot signal is inserted at frequency domain; So can try to achieve the frequency domain channel estimated value earlier, again it is transformed on the time domain, thereby obtains the time domain channel estimated value.
Prior art has mainly been considered the influence of pilot tone point density degree to channel estimating performance, and has not been considered the application of pilot tone point in measuring maximum multipath time delay when the design pilot tone.Therefore; Preferably, utilize the maximum multipath time delay that CP length or the one-period of lasting of system confirm in the embodiment of the invention, the target window of setting time domain channel estimating window is long; And when this target window length be less than or equal to time domain channel estimating window that the pilot interval that utilizes frequency domain channel to estimate calculates when front window is grown; Can again its method that is transformed into time domain be obtained the time domain channel estimated value through at interval extracting the frequency domain channel estimated value, so just avoid pilot tone point density degree and the unmatched problem of channel maximum multipath time delay, time delay expand than hour; Avoid because pilot interval is too little; Chosen too much and counted, thereby caused having increased insignificant operand, described below in conjunction with specific embodiment.
As shown in Figure 2, the concrete grammar of a kind of definite maximum multipath time delay that the embodiment of the invention provides comprises step:
S201, utilize following formula that the frequency domain channel of carrying out of the OFDM symbol that comprises pilot signal in the channel is estimated:
Figure GSB00000816743800051
Wherein,
Figure GSB00000816743800052
Represent n the channel estimating on the OFDM symbol the i ' number of sub-carrier, R N, i 'Represent n the reception signal on the OFDM symbol the i ' number of sub-carrier, S N, i 'Represent n the transmission signal on the OFDM symbol the i ' number of sub-carrier, the position of pilot sub-carrier on the i ' expression OFDM symbol, and, i ′ = 1 , N p + 1 , . . . , ( N Occupy N p - 1 ) N p + 1 , Wherein, N pThe pilot interval that the expression frequency domain channel is estimated is used for frequency domain channel and estimates; N OccupyThe number of effective subcarrier in the bandwidth of expression pilot distribution.
S202, utilize the CP length N of system Cp, or definite maximum multipath time delay N ' of last one-period τ max, the target window of setting the time domain channel estimating window is long, and the pilot interval N that utilizes frequency domain channel to estimate pCalculate the long when front window of time domain channel estimating window, concrete grammar comprises following two steps:
Step a, make N τ=a*N ' τ maxOr N τ=N Cp
Wherein, use N τThe target window of expression time domain channel estimating window is long; The frequency domain channel estimated value of a plurality of pilot tone points that are used for step S201 is obtained is carried out interpolation; A representes to lose the long parameter that suitably strengthens of the target window with the time domain channel estimating window that is adopted for fear of multipath, and a>1.
Also do not obtaining N ' τ maxBefore, when promptly initial, can adopt N τ=N CpDispose.
In the embodiment of the invention, the operation of confirming maximum multipath time delay is to carry out in the cycle, therefore, before the step S201, also comprises the step of monitoring predetermined period, execution in step S201 when the cycle arrives.
The target window length of above-mentioned setting time domain channel estimating window is in order to reduce amount of calculation; The embodiment of the invention adopt CP length or the one-period of lasting definite maximum multipath time delay to set the target window of time domain channel estimating window long; Can guarantee time domain channel estimating window long enough; Make effective multipath can not fall outside window, counting that the participation frequency domain channel is estimated is abundant, but can too much not cause the increase of amount of calculation.
Therefore, the value of above-mentioned parameter a is greater than 1, makes that the long change of target window of current time domain channel estimating window is big, means and can seek effective multipath in the larger context, thereby avoid definite maximum multipath time delay N ' of one-period τ maxEstimate inaccurate and multipath that bring is lost.
If the window of time domain channel estimating window is long too small, then can not estimate the maximum multipath time delay outside the time domain channel estimating window, therefore, preferably,, N can be set periodically for fear of error τ=N CpCalibrate.
Step b, utilize N pValue calculate the time domain channel estimating window when front window long, promptly
Figure GSB00000816743800061
Wherein, N IFFTThe number of the sampled point that expression participation system inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT, Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) is handled is promptly long through the window that the frequency domain channel estimated value is carried out the time domain channel estimating window that conversion obtains.N IFFTBe typical ofdm system parameter, in ofdm system, utilize subcarrier in frequency domain to carry data, send after transforming to time domain through IFFT at last.
S203, when the target window length of time domain channel estimation window be less than or equal to time domain channel estimating window that the pilot interval that utilizes frequency domain channel to estimate obtains when front window is grown; The multiple k that the frequency domain channel estimated value that calculating obtains step S201 extracts, and according to the value of k the frequency domain channel estimated value is extracted.
Concrete, judge whether to satisfy following formula:
N τ ≤ N IFFT N p
If satisfy, then according to the value of computes k:
Figure GSB00000816743800071
When the target window length of time domain channel estimation window is excessive, multipath will concentrate on before the time domain channel estimating window, and after the time domain channel estimating window is noise path entirely; And long excessive meaning of the target window of time domain channel estimating window participated in inverse discrete Fourier transformer inverse-discrete (IDFT; Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform) frequency domain channel estimated value can be many, and too much frequency domain channel estimated value there is no need, so in order to reduce operand; The frequency domain channel estimated value being carried out k here doubly extracts; For example, calculate 100 frequency domain channel estimated values among the step S201, and the value of the k that calculates is 5; Then from 100 frequency domain channel estimated values, extract the 5th, the 10th, the 15th, the 20th respectively ... the frequency domain channel estimated value extracts 20 frequency domain channel estimated values at last altogether.
S204, the frequency domain channel estimated value that k is doubly extracted are carried out the IDFT conversion, obtain the time domain channel estimated value.
S205, according to the sequential search of last tap in the long scope of the target window of the time domain channel estimating window of confirming from step a to first tap, when first time domain channel estimated value that finds greater than the tap of the power threshold of channel effective diameter as the maximum effective diameter of time delay.
Need to prove; The operation that embodiment of the invention step S205 searches the maximum effective diameter of time delay is a kind of preferred implementation, and purpose is to save and searches the time, because in the time domain channel estimating window; Each effective diameter is according to from small to large tactic of time delay; Therefore, can pick up speed according to from back to front sequential search tap, because what search is the maximum tap of time delay.Certainly, also can search from front to back, with last time domain channel estimated value that finds greater than the tap of the power threshold of channel effective diameter as the maximum effective diameter of time delay, still, can waste the time of searching like this.
In the embodiment of the invention, with the noise power η of channel nMultiply by factor beta, with β * η nPower threshold as the channel effective diameter.
Wherein, the method that noise power is obtained is many, and the value of β also can have multiple, preferably, can be 4.5dB.
In addition, can also there be other modes that the power threshold of channel effective diameter is set, for example, in the long scope of the window of time domain channel estimating window, find maximum tap power, it multiply by a coefficient, as the power threshold of channel effective diameter.
S206, the maximum pairing time delay N of effective diameter of time delay that step S205 is confirmed O_tmaxCarry out conversion by the systematic sampling frequency, obtain the corresponding maximum multipath time delay of a certain antenna of channel in the current period.
Particularly, according to following formula to N O_tmaxCarry out conversion by the systematic sampling frequency:
N τ max = N O _ τ max × N IFFT N occupy
Because pilot tone point does not in most cases take whole bandwidth, can cause the interval of the time-domain signal sampled point after IDFT handles to change in this case.Therefore, need carry out conversion, thereby guarantee the N that step S206 obtains by the systematic sampling frequency τ maxWith the systematic sampling frequency is unit.
Preferably, in order to make measurement result more accurate, can further carry out following two steps:
S207, all try to achieve N to step S206 according to step S201 for the OFDM symbol that comprises pilot tone on each antenna τ max, and to N corresponding on these antenna τ maxGet average, obtain the maximum multipath time delay more accurately of channel in the current period.
S208, the maximum multipath time delay that estimates is carried out between subframe level and smooth.
Suppose that maximum multipath time delay that a last subframe measures for the maximum multipath time delay of the channel of
Figure GSB00000816743800082
then current subframe after level and smooth is:
N τ max n = ( 1 - α ) N τ max + α N τ max n - 1
Wherein, α is a smoothing factor, and smoothing factor should be the amount that changes along with the variation of the translational speed of user terminal, but in real system, the translational speed of user terminal is difficult to obtain, and therefore can adopt fixed value, and is preferable, can be 0.5.
