Embodiment
To be described one exemplary embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings hereinafter.For clarity and conciseness, all features of actual execution mode are not described in specification.Yet, should understand, in the process of any this practical embodiments of exploitation, must make a lot of decisions specific to execution mode, so that realize developer's objectives, for example, meet and system and professional those relevant restrictive conditions, and these restrictive conditions may change to some extent along with the difference of execution mode.In addition, might be very complicated and time-consuming though will also be appreciated that development, concerning the those skilled in the art that have benefited from present disclosure, this development only is customary task.
At this, what also need to illustrate a bit is, for fear of having blured the present invention because of unnecessary details, only show in the accompanying drawings with according to closely-related apparatus structure of the solution of the present invention and/or treatment step, and omitted other details little with relation of the present invention.
The inventor notices, in the TDD-LTE system, the frequency band search is a complicated problems comparatively, because can there be so-called nearly allelopathy in the TDD-LTE system.Fig. 1 is schematically illustrated in the typical scene that subscriber equipment may run in the TDD-LTE system when carrying out the frequency band search.
Figure 1 illustrates a typical scene that has nearly allelopathy (Near-remote Effect).Three sub-district Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3 as can see from Figure 1, they are worked on different frequency band Band 1, Band 2 and Band 3 respectively, and the centre frequency of these three frequency bands is different each other, shown in the last figure among Fig. 2.Wherein the base station of Cell 1 and user equipment (UE) 1 are the most approaching.There is another user equipment (UE) 2 nearby among the sub-district Cell 2.Normally used frequency band searching method is to measure the signal power that receives in the UE1 place in the prior art, and the frequency band that will send maximum signal power is as the frequency band that will insert.Yet in scene shown in Figure 1, may cause problem.Normal, because the base station of UE1 distance C ell 1 is nearest, therefore the power of received Band1 also should be maximum.Yet owing to there is UE2, shown in the figure below among Fig. 2, UE1 can be with the signal of base station power addition from UE2 and Cell 2, this gross power is greater than the signal of base station power from Cell 1 as a result, make UE1 insert Band 2 mistakenly, cause UE1 can not obtain best net synchronization capability and link quality, influence communication efficiency.
First embodiment
The inventor notices that a major reason that causes UE to insert mistakenly in the prior art is interference noise, and this noise may be from other subscriber equipmenies, also may be from other noise sources.Because the signal distinguishing that this interference noise and base station is not sent in the prior art, cause carrying out the power addition of the useful signal that the frequency band search time sends the power and the base station of interference noise simply, thereby cause false judgment easily the frequency band that will insert at subscriber equipment.
The inventor notices that if the distinctive signal that can utilize the base station to send, this distinctive signal is different from noise signal, then can get rid of noise effect when judging the frequency band that will insert when subscriber equipment carries out the frequency band search.
Therefore, according to one embodiment of present invention, a kind of method that is used for the frequency band search has been proposed.Fig. 3 shows the flow chart of this method.
As shown in Figure 3, this method comprises:
S310: obtain on the search frequency band specific to signal of base station;
S330: estimate each intensity specific to signal of base station;
S350: will compare specific to the intensity and the predetermined first threshold of signal of base station;
S370: when intensity during greater than predetermined first threshold, selection intensity greater than predetermined first threshold specific to the frequency band at signal of base station place as the frequency band that will insert.
S390:, change search frequency band, and re-execute step S310 at the frequency band after changing when intensity during less than predetermined first threshold.
Owing in said method, used specific to signal of base station, and interference noise does not have sort signal, therefore judge that according to this signal strength signal intensity the frequency band that will insert got rid of the influence of interference noise, can realize inserting more accurately, improve the performance of system.
The applicant further discovers, in the TDD-LTE system, always includes in the downstream signal that send the base station specific to signal of base station, for example PSS (synchronously main) signal and SSS (subsynchronous) signal.Be that example describes with the PSS signal below.It is pointed out that following content is equally applicable to the SSS signal.
Below the PSS signal is simply introduced.
In the LTE system, one has three kinds of PSS signals, from frequency domain, is expressed as the different Zadoff-Chu sequence of parameter.The PSS signal can be represented with following formula:
PSS ( i , n ) = e - j πin ( n + 1 ) 63 n = 0,1 , . . . , 30 e - j πi ( n + 1 ) ( n + 2 ) 63 n = 31,32 , . . . , 61 - - - ( 1 )
Wherein parameter i can get 25,29 or 34.
This sequence (length is 62) can be mapped near the centered carrier on the frequency domain 62 subcarriers, and respectively mends 5 zero in both sides, takies 72 subcarriers altogether.In the TDD system, through IFFT conversion (invert fast fourier transformation), the OFDM symbol that comprises PSS can be put into subframe subframe#1, on the 3rd the OFDM symbol of subframe#6.Because the duration of subframe is 1ms, so the transmission cycle of PSS is 5ms.
More detailed description about PSS and SSS signal can not further describe at this referring to 3GPP standard TS36.211v8.7.0.
As Fig. 4 schematically shows, in actual applications, can be by plot planning so that the employed PSS signal in adjacent base station has different i values.When subscriber equipment is determined from the power of the PSS signal of first base station when maximum, because interference noise does not have the PSS signal, the frequency band that therefore can determine this first base station comparatively exactly is a candidate band preferably, and has got rid of the influence of interference noise.
Hypothesis adopts the PSS signal for to specifically describe specific to signal of base station in the method shown in Fig. 3 below.
Before implementing according to method shown in Figure 3, (i n), wherein has i=0 for the LTE system, 1,2 to have stored the copy PSS of PSS signal in subscriber equipment; N=0,1,2 ..., 127.In addition, obtained the initial center frequency in subscriber equipment, this initial center frequency can also can be the frequency that pre-sets by the outside input.
In step S310, subscriber equipment obtains the sample signal from the base station, and wherein this sample signal comprises the PSS signal.Owing in TDD LTE standard, certainly exist PSS signal in every field (corresponding to 9600 sample points) corresponding to 128 sample points.Preferably, the length of sample signal is not less than 9600+128 sample point.Particularly preferably, the length of sample signal is 9600+128 sample point, so that estimate the intensity of the PSS signal that comprises in this sample signal.Length with sample signal is that 9600+128 describes below.
In step S330, estimate the intensity of PSS signal in each sample signal.Can utilize copy PSS (i, n) intensity of coming PSS signal in the sample estimates signal with the correlation of sample signal in time domain of the PSS signal of storing in the subscriber equipment at this.
Suppose that sample signal is r, then can by following formula calculate sample signal and PSS copy correlation C (i, m):
C ( i , m ) = | Σ n = 0 127 r ( n + m ) * · PSS ( i , n ) | 2 - - - ( 2 )
Wherein C (i, m) m the sample point of expression from sample signal begin afterwards 128 sample points and PSS copy PSS (i, correlation n), m=0,1,2 ..., 9599, r (n+m) *The conjugation of respective sample point in the expression sample signal.Should be appreciated that the intensity estimation (being correlation here) that can utilize other related operation to obtain the PSS signal.
Owing to all must comprise the PSS signal in each sample signal from different base station, therefore can find corresponding i and definite starting point m by (2) formula for each sample signal, (i n) and under the situation of m can obtain maximum correlation value C at the copy PSS corresponding to this i value Max(i, m).Those skilled in the art know easily, are obtaining under the situation of maximum correlation value, and the sample point at this m value place is exactly the starting point of the PSS signal in the sample signal.Therefore obtain the PSS signal in the sample signal in this way and be stored in correlation between the PSS signal copy in the subscriber equipment, also just obtained the PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value in the respective sample signal.
In step S350, determine maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value, and should maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value and predetermined first threshold compare.If should maximum PSS signal strength values greater than first threshold, the signal strength signal intensity of frequency band that the PSS signal place of this intensity estimated value maximum then is described can be accepted, therefore in step S370 with the frequency band at the PSS signal place of this intensity estimated value maximum as the frequency band that will insert.If maximum PSS signal strength values less than first threshold, then illustrate this intensity level maximum PSS signal place frequency band signal strength signal intensity too a little less than, so execution in step S390.
In step S390, switch the frequency of the oscillator in the subscriber equipment, make and on other frequency band, obtain sample signal.Subsequently, re-execute step S310.
The inventor notices, after by the oscillator frequency in the switching subscriber equipment all frequency bands having been carried out said method, can determine the frequency band that subscriber equipment will insert by utilizing suitable first threshold usually.Yet under some extreme cases, the maximum PSS signal strength values that subscriber equipment is determined on all frequency bands may be all less than first threshold, then preferably second threshold value can be set this moment, if maximum PSS signal strength values is greater than second threshold value, then directly with the frequency band at maximum PSS signal strength values place as the frequency band that will insert, if maximum PSS signal strength values less than second threshold value, then points out the user not have frequency band to insert.
By the method that is proposed according to the abovementioned embodiments of the present invention, only considered advantageously that being used for frequency band from signal of base station inserts, and for example avoided interference noise influence to a great extent from other subscriber equipmenies.
Second embodiment
The inventor notices, though can as among above-mentioned second embodiment, directly utilize correlation to judge as the signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal, owing to may have the uplink interference signal in the sample signal that receives, therefore may influence judged result.
According to a kind of improvement project of the present invention, can utilize normalized correlation to estimate the signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal.
Normalized correlation is designated as
Figure GSA00000023510600071
, can obtain by following formula:
C ~ ( i , m ) = C ( i , m ) N ( m ) - - - ( 3 )
Wherein: N ( m ) = Σ n = 0 127 | r ( n + m ) | 2 - - - ( 4 )
Obtain normalized correlation

Afterwards, be similar to that above-described method is like that same can be provided with corresponding threshold value and to judge, this is not described further.
By utilizing the normalization correlation to estimate the signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal, advantageously overcome the influence of uplink interference signal.
Preferably, estimate for these intensity that obtained

, m=0,1,2 ..., 9599 peak-to-average force ratio M.
For example, peak-to-average force ratio M can be maximum intensity estimate with during intensity is estimated and maximum intensity estimate to adopt the ratio of the average of other intensity estimation that identical PSS sequence obtains.Particularly,
M = C ~ ( i 0 , m 0 ) 1 9600 - 1 Σ m = 0 , m ≠ m 0 9599 C ~ ( i 0 , m ) - - - ( 6 )
As an alternative, peak-to-average force ratio M can be the ratio that maximum intensity is estimated the average of all intensity estimations that identical PSS sequence with employing obtains.Particularly,
M = C ~ ( i 0 , m 0 ) 1 9600 Σ m = 0 9599 C ~ ( i 0 , m ) - - - ( 7 )
Should be appreciated that peak-to-average force ratio M can define according to other calculates.
Obtain after the peak-to-average force ratio M, be similar to that above-described method is same like that can be provided with corresponding threshold value and to judge, this is not described further.
By utilizing peak-to-average force ratio M to estimate the signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal, advantageously overcome the influence of uplink interference signal, and can further improve the accuracy of frequency band search.
The 3rd embodiment
In order further to improve the accuracy for the estimation of PSS signal, preferably, said method according to the present invention can be carried out repeatedly at each frequency band, and judges the frequency band that will insert according to the result who repeatedly carries out.
Fig. 5 shows and according to an embodiment of the inventionly is used to utilize the PSS signal to come the flow chart of the method for search frequency band.
As can see from Figure 5, this method also comprises step S360 on the basis of method shown in Figure 3: judge and whether obtain the number of times of all sample signals greater than predetermined the 3rd threshold value at the current search frequency band, if less than the 3rd threshold value, then once more execution in step S310 so that obtain sample signal r from the current search frequency band once more kIf, greater than the 3rd threshold value then execution in step S370 to switch search frequency band, so that on other frequency bands, detect.
After the sample signal obtaining step of repeatedly carrying out on the same frequency band, can estimate the signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal in the following manner:
1) directly utilizing correlation to estimate can calculate correlation for the k time repetition under the situation of signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal:
C k ( i , m ) = | Σ n = 0 127 r k ( n + m ) * · PSS ( i , n ) | 2 - - - ( 8 )
C k(i, m) in expression i main synchronizing sequence and k the sample sequence from the correlated results of the initial subsequence of m sample, wherein * represents conjugation, m=0,1,2 ..., 9599.

3) utilizing peak-to-average force ratio to estimate under the situation of signal strength signal intensity of PSS signal, can estimate according to top these intensity that obtain
Figure GSA00000023510600103
, determine that the maximum intensity in these intensity estimations is estimated (being normalized correlation here)

Need to prove that according to above-mentioned first to the 3rd embodiment, those skilled in the art can easily be applied to the SSS signal with corresponding method.Because it is more more than PSS signal that the SSS signal has, so computing cost is bigger, yet its principle and above-described method are identical, and this is not described further.
The 4th embodiment
Therefore, according to one embodiment of present invention, the frequency band searcher of a kind of TDD-LTE of being used for system terminal/subscriber unit has been proposed.Fig. 6 shows the schematic diagram of this frequency band searcher.
As shown in Figure 6, this frequency band searcher 600 comprises:
Signal deriving means 610, its be arranged to obtain on the search frequency band specific to signal of base station;
Intensity estimation unit 630, it is arranged to estimates each intensity specific to signal of base station;
Comparison means 650, it is arranged to intensity and predetermined first threshold specific to signal of base station is compared;
Insert frequency band and determine device 670, it is arranged to when intensity during greater than predetermined first threshold, selection intensity greater than predetermined first threshold specific to the frequency band at signal of base station place as the frequency band that will insert.And
Frequency band switching device shifter 690, it is arranged to when intensity during less than predetermined first threshold, changes search frequency band.
Because frequency band searcher 600 has used specific to signal of base station, and interference noise does not have sort signal, therefore judge that according to this signal strength signal intensity the frequency band that will insert got rid of the influence of interference noise, can realize inserting more accurately, improve the performance of system.
The applicant further discovers, in the TDD-LTE system, always includes in the downstream signal that send the base station specific to signal of base station, for example PSS (synchronously main) signal and SSS (subsynchronous) signal.Therefore frequency band searcher 600 can utilize PSS signal or SSS signal as carry out the frequency band search specific to signal of base station.
Hypothesis adopts the PSS signal for to specifically describe specific to signal of base station in frequency band searcher 600 below.
Before frequency band searcher 600 carried out frequency band search, (i n), wherein had i=0 for the LTE system, 1,2 to have stored the copy PSS of PSS signal in subscriber equipment; N=0,1,2 ..., 127.In addition, obtained the initial center frequency in subscriber equipment, this initial center frequency can also can be the frequency that pre-sets by the outside input.
At first, signal deriving means 610 obtains the sample signal from the base station, and wherein this sample signal comprises the PSS signal.Owing in TDD LTE standard, certainly exist PSS signal in every field (corresponding to 9600 sample points) corresponding to 128 sample points.Preferably, the length of sample signal is not less than 9600+128 sample point.Particularly preferably, the length of sample signal is 9600+128 sample point, so that estimate the intensity of the PSS signal that comprises in this sample signal.Length with sample signal is that 9600+128 describes below.
Intensity estimation unit 630 is estimated the intensity of PSS signal in each sample signal subsequently.Can utilize copy PSS (i, n) intensity of coming PSS signal in the sample estimates signal with the correlation of sample signal in time domain of the PSS signal of storing in the subscriber equipment at this.
Suppose that sample signal is r, then can by following formula calculate sample signal and PSS copy correlation C (i, m):
C ( i , m ) = | Σ n = 0 127 r ( n + m ) * · PSS ( i , n ) | 2 - - - ( 2 )
Wherein C (i, m) m the sample point of expression from sample signal begin afterwards 128 sample points and PSS copy PSS (i, correlation n), m=0,1,2 ..., 9599, r (n+m) *The conjugation of respective sample point in the expression sample signal.Should be appreciated that the intensity estimation that can utilize other related operation to obtain the PSS signal.
Owing to all must comprise the PSS signal in each sample signal from different base station, therefore can find corresponding i and definite starting point m by (2) formula for each sample signal, (i n) and under the situation of m can obtain maximum correlation value C at the copy PSS corresponding to this i value Max(i, m).Those skilled in the art know easily, are obtaining under the situation of maximum correlation value, and the sample point at this m value place is exactly the starting point of the PSS signal in the sample signal.Therefore obtain the PSS signal in the sample signal in this way and be stored in correlation between the PSS signal copy in the subscriber equipment, also just obtained the PSS signal strength values in the respective sample signal.
Comparison means 650 is determined maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated values subsequently, and should maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value and predetermined first threshold compare.If should maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value greater than first threshold, the signal strength signal intensity of frequency band that the PSS signal place of this intensity estimated value maximum then is described can be accepted, therefore insert frequency band determine device 670 with the frequency band at the PSS signal place of this intensity estimated value maximum as the frequency band that will insert.If maximum PSS signal strength signal intensity estimated value is less than first threshold, then illustrate this intensity estimated value maximum PSS signal place frequency band signal strength signal intensity too a little less than, therefore frequency band switching device shifter 690 switches the frequency of the oscillator in the subscriber equipment, makes and obtain sample signal on other frequency band.Subsequently, re-execute the frequency band search procedure.
The inventor notices, after by the oscillator frequency in the switching subscriber equipment all frequency bands having been carried out said method, can determine the frequency band that subscriber equipment will insert by utilizing suitable first threshold usually.Yet under some extreme cases, the maximum PSS signal strength values that subscriber equipment is determined on all frequency bands may be all less than first threshold, then preferably second threshold value can be set this moment, if maximum PSS signal strength values is greater than second threshold value, then directly with the frequency band at maximum PSS signal strength values place as the frequency band that will insert, otherwise point out the user not have frequency band to insert.
