Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the present invention will be further described, but embodiments of the present invention are not limited to this.
One, cooperation communication system model
As shown in Figure 1, native system belongs to many relay cooperatives wireless transmitting system, is made up of a source node, multiple via node and a destination node.Each node configuration individual antenna, all multi-carrier modulation/demodulation modes of the OFDM (CP-OFDM) of employing with Cyclic Prefix.
In this system, source node and destination node communicate, and its communication link is that source node is to destination node link, conventionally also referred to as tie link (Direct Link, is abbreviated as DL).Around source node and destination node, there are multiple via nodes, for cooperation transmission.In the time that the channel status of tie link is better, source node can be realized and being communicated by letter by tie link with destination node, without relay node cooperation; In the time that the channel status of tie link is poor, via node can participate in cooperation, and to forwarding the information from source node to destination node, implementation space diversity gain, improves communication quality.This system adopts amplification forwarding (Amplify and Forward, AF) and decoding to forward (Decode and Forward, DF) two kinds of conventional relay cooperative modes.
Two, system frame structure
Frame structure comprises prefix, training sequence and three parts of data sequence: prefix part detects and sign synchronization for frame; Training sequence is made up of two parts, is respectively used to Frequency Synchronization and channel estimating; Data sequence, for transmitting useful information, pilot signal can be interted in centre, for track channel change.
1, the structure of prefix
In the prefix part for carrying out time synchronized, native system adopts [P1, P2]=[A, reverse (A)] structure, the estimation of this structure is than traditional based on the obvious peak point of having of auto-correlation second-order statistics and very steep slope, thereby estimated accuracy wants high.
2, for the structure of the training sequence of Frequency Estimation
In the training sequence part for Frequency Synchronization, native system adopts following structure:
It is NS fixed sequence really that source node adopts length as training sequence, by 2 identical parts composition.CP part is taken from the last L of s cPlength part in order to ensure that under multipath interference channel environment training sequence is not subject to the interference of prefix part, the length L of CP part cPshould be greater than the length L of multipath channel h, meet L cP>L h.
The communication process of (1) three kind of transmission mode
In the digital communication system of point-to-point, as communicating by letter between base station of cellular system and certain handheld terminal, its communication process can be divided into digital end and analog end.Digital end completes the Digital Signal Processing task of base band, comprises chnnel coding/decoding, symbol-modulated/demodulation and other processing procedures of bit information; Analog end completes digital signal to the conversion of analog signal and whole processing procedures of analog signal, comprises the transmitting procedure of analog signal in wireless channel.
In the point-to-point digital communication system being illustrated in fig. 5 shown below, it is that transmitting terminal base-band digital is processed block diagram and receiving terminal base-band digital is processed block diagram that the digital end processing procedure of the digital end processing procedure of transmitting terminal and receiving terminal is distinguished abstract; By completing the transmission formed filter of digital signal to analog signal conversion, realize signal by low frequency to the carrier modulation of high frequency conversion, through physical channel, realize signal by high frequency to the carrier wave demodulation of low frequency conversion, to realize a series of procedural abstractions such as matched filter and sampler that analog signal to digital signal changes be the discrete multipath channel of Equivalent Base-Band; And then obtain the Equivalent Base-Band communication system of point-to-point digital communication system.(11) direct link transmission mode
Under direct link transmission mode, its communication process is traditional point-to-point (Point-to-Point) communication process.The Equivalent Base-Band communication system that therefore can draw the direct link transmission system consistent with Fig. 5, is illustrated in fig. 6 shown below.
The transmitting terminal base-band digital of source node is processed block diagram, as shown in Figure 7, mainly comprises the generation of prefix, training sequence and data sequence.Data sequence is made up of information sequence and pilot signal; The production process of information sequence comprises generation, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) coding (Cyclic Redundancy Check, CRC), chnnel coding, the symbol-modulated of information bit; Pilot signal is interted in the middle of information sequence, and through OFDM, modulation becomes the data sequence of time domain.Finally, prefix, training sequence and data sequence are delivered to transmission formed filter in succession.Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) coding object is whether the integrality of check bit data and conduct need one of criterion of relay node cooperation.
At destination node receiving terminal, as shown in Figure 8, carry out the digital signal sequences first elapsed time synchronization module of self-matching filter after sampling, complete frame and detect and sign synchronization; Realizing after sign synchronization, can calculate the initial sample position of training sequence and data sequence, and then extracting training sequence to complete the processing of Frequency Synchronization and channel estimating and data sequence.
The processing of data sequence comprises the processing of information sequence and pilot signal; For information sequence, after OFDM demodulation, first need to carry out the equilibrium of frequency domain channel, wherein channel parameter is provided by the channel estimation module based on training sequence and the tracking module based on pilot signal, then carry out symbol demodulation, modulation symbol is become to binary bit signal, finally enter channel decoding module and complete decoding, if any chnnel coding.Under static channel, channel parameter remains unchanged, and is provided and has been enough to channel equalization by the channel estimation module based on training sequence; If there is Frequency Estimation remainder error, also need to carry out the tracking of phase place; And moving under (time change) channel, channel parameter temporal evolution, the tracking of channel parameter is estimated to be provided by the tracking module based on pilot signal.
(12) tie link and single relay cooperative transmission pattern
Different from the point-to-point communication of direct transmission mode, under tie link and single relay cooperative transmission pattern, as shown in Figure 9, except tie link, also have the repeated link of " source node-via node-destination node " to participate in cooperation.The process of collaboration communication can be divided into cooperation stage one and cooperation stage 2 two processes.In the cooperation stage one, source node, to destination node and via node transmitted signal simultaneously, belongs to the broadcast communication of point-to-multipoint; In the cooperation stage two, source node and via node, simultaneously to destination node transmitted signal, belong to how point-to-point communication.
In the cooperation stage one, the broadcast communication of point-to-multipoint can be divided into multiple independently point-to-point communication processs.For source node, itself and destination node and via node can form respectively independently point-to-point digital communication system, therefore, it is consistent with the transmitting terminal base-band digital processing block diagram under tie link pattern that the transmitting terminal base-band digital of source node is processed block diagram, as shown in figure 10:
Under tie link and single relay cooperative transmission pattern, the main purpose of single via node is that the digital signal from source node is carried out to Alamouti coding, to complete cooperation transmission, for receiving, the signal of destination node brings space diversity gain, improve the signal reception of destination node.Via node can adopt amplification forwarding (AF) and decoding to forward (DF) two kinds of different trunk protocols.Under different trunk protocols, the signal processing difference of via node, therefore the implementation of the coding of the Alamouti under two kinds of protocol modes is also different.
Under amplification forwarding (AF) agreement, the base-band digital processing procedure of via node comprises reception and sends two links, as shown in figure 11, receiving link, via node is synchronous, Frequency Synchronization of deadline and channel estimating successively, channel estimating delivery channel estimates of parameters, the latter is for calculating the required judgement amount of relay selection.After selected participation cooperation, via node first carries out OFDM demodulation (comprise and remove CP and FFT variation) to the data sequence of time domain, draw the data sequence of frequency domain, then complete Alamouti coding (comprising information sequence and pilot signal) according to the Alamouti coded system of ofdm system, carry out OFDM and modulate again (comprising that IFFT changes and add new CP), and pass through together with prefix with training sequence frequency is compensating module againrealize with source node transmission carrier frequency and aliging, finally deliver to transmission formed filter.
Forward under (DF) cooperation mode in decoding, the base-band digital processing procedure of via node also comprises reception and sends two links, as shown in figure 12, receiving link, via node is synchronous, Frequency Synchronization of deadline and channel estimating successively, channel estimating delivery channel estimates of parameters, the latter is for calculating the required judgement amount of relay selection.Different from amplification forwarding (AF) cooperation mode, DF via node also needs the information sequence in data sequence to carry out the channel equalization of frequency, symbol demodulation and channel decoding, and the bit sequence of decoding output carries out cyclic redundancy check (CRC), with the integrality of check bit data, and inspection correctness is informed to relay selection module.For time varying channel, the pilot signal that also needs to shift to an earlier date in data sequence is carried out the tracking estimation of source node to via node channel parameter.After selected participation cooperation, via node re-starts chnnel coding and follow-up symbol-modulated to the bit sequence of channel decoding output, draws the information sequence of frequency domain, and send into Alamouti coding module together with pilot signal; Then carry out OFDM modulation and draw the data sequence of time domain, and deliver to frequency compensating module again with training sequence together with prefix, realize with source node transmission carrier frequency and aliging, finally deliver to transmission formed filter.
In the cooperation stage one, following Figure 13, destination node receiving terminal receives only the signal from source node, consistent with under tie link transmission mode of its base-band digital processing procedure, see Fig. 8, the output of channel estimation module and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) module is used for carrying out relay selection.
