Abstract
本文公开了一种时间提前量的估计方法和装置,其中,该方法包括:获取PUCCH的频域数据;对所述频域数据进行以下至少一种处理:根据频域数据计算目标用户的信道估计向量,并根据所述信道估计向量对所述频域数据进行抗衰弱处理,和,根据所述频域数据计算目标用户的干扰噪声协方差矩阵,并根据干扰噪声协方差矩阵对频域数据进行抗干扰处理;以及对处理后的频域数据进行傅里叶反变换,以得到TA。
Description
本公开涉及通讯领域,例如涉及一种时间提前量(Timing Advance,TA)的估计方法和装置。
在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)***中,TA是表征演进基站(evolved NodeB,eNodeB)接收到用户设备(User Equipment,UE)所发送的数据的定时偏差的参量。为了保持上行同步,eNodeB指示UE在规定的时间点发送上行解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,DMRS)或探测参考信号(Sounding Reference Signal,SRS),经过定时测量得到TA,eNodeB通过物理下行共享信道将TA调整命令下发给UE进行调整,以保持UE与eNodeB的上行同步。
应用场景中,如果不传输SRS和DMRS,就没有办法进行实时TA估计。但是如果此时有上行的物理上行链路控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,PUCCH)传输,可以使用PUCCH进行上行TA估计。
相关技术中的TA估计的算法基于时域滑动相关法或频域相关法。以下是SRS频域相关法中的TA估计流程(参见图1):
eNodeB每毫秒采样空中接口的数据30720点,每两采样点间隔记为Ts,去循环前缀(Cyclic Prefix,CP),再经过傅里叶变换后,得到N点频域数据,根据高层信息提取相应的SRS频域数据DR(m),R表示接收(Receive),m=0,1,2...M-1,M为SRS数据的长度。同时本地序列经过傅里叶变换后得到相应的本地(local)SRS频域数据Dlocal(m),m=0,1,2...M-1,DR(m)和Dlocal(m)进行频域共轭乘运算PF(m)=DR(m)*(Dlocal(m))*,(Dlocal(m))*是(Dlocal(m)的共轭,m=0,1,2...M-1。对PF(m)补(L-M)个0后得到总共L点的PF(k),k=0,1,....L-1,L为正整数。其中,PF(k)=0,k=M,M+1...,L-1,经过L点的傅里叶反变换变换到时域,在L点的时域数据中寻找峰值最大点,并以此峰值最大点作为TA,也就是峰值和第一个点的时间距离。另外对于PUCCH来说,eNodeB高层可以告知物理层当前子帧当前资
源块(Resource Block,RB)上所有存在用户的PUCCH资源序号(Resource Index),及待做TA估计目标用户的PUCCH资源序号(以下简称目标用户码道)。而根据协议,一个PUCCH的RB上对于格式1最多可以复用36个PUCCH资源序号,对于格式2最多可以复用12个PUCCH资源序号。对于不存在的用户的PUCCH资源序号,以下简称空闲用户码道。以下是基于PUCCH的TA估计的流程(参见图2):
eNodeB每毫秒采样空口的数据30720点,每两采样点间隔记为Ts,去CP,再经过傅里叶变换,得到N点频域数据,根据高层信息提取相应的PUCCH频域数据,如格式2天线p的频域数据符号每个资源单元(Resource Element,RE)数据记为其中表示一个RB上的子载波(Subcarrier,SC)的数目,n表示符号编号,n=0,1,2...13,i表示子载波编号,i=0,1,2...11,p表示天线序号。对每个用户(包括目标用户码道和所有的空闲用户码道)数据符号和导频符号做去基本序列(abase sequence )运算和消除每个符号的循环前缀操作:
其中,参考信号基序列对应《3rd Generation Partnership Project Technical Specification Group Radio Access Network Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access(E-UTRA);Physical Channels and Modulation》(版本V11.6.0)5.5章节
ns表示无线帧内时隙的序号,l表示时隙内小区参考信号所在的正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号的序号,为上述文章的5.4.2章节中的小区cell级循环移位,CS为循环移位(Cycle Shift)的简称,n’(ns)为用户级的循环移位,p表示天线序号。
对rUser(n,i)补(L-M)个0后得到总共L点的数据,对补0后的数据rUser(n,i)进行L点的反傅里叶变换。把符号间的信号进行合并。在合并后的L点的时域数据中寻找峰值最大点,并以此峰值最大点作为TA。
DMRS和PUCCH也可以通过相同流程估计得到TA。但是,由于PUCCH就一个RB,能量峰值相对SRS和DMRS小,所以TA估计精度容易受衰弱信道和干扰的影响。当信道衰弱严重或存在干扰时,TA估计精度会急剧变差。
