下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行描述。The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
导频信号,本申请实施例中也称为导频序列,包括非零导频(non-zero pilot)和零导频(又称为空导频,null pilot)。导频序列常用于通信***的信道估计和射频失真(Radio Frequency Distortion)补偿。信道和射频失真的特性取决于环境、频率范围、***设置和收发器的实现误差等因素。因此,不同条件下的导频序列的设计也有所差异。此外,导频信号在频域传输或在时域上传输时,其设计也有区别。本申请实施例讨论在频率域上传输导频信号的情况。The pilot signal, also referred to as a pilot sequence in the embodiment of the present application, includes a non-zero pilot and a zero pilot (also known as a null pilot). Pilot sequences are commonly used for channel estimation and Radio Frequency Distortion compensation in communication systems. The characteristics of the channel and RF distortion depend on factors such as the environment, frequency range, system settings, and transceiver implementation errors. Therefore, the design of pilot sequences under different conditions is also different. In addition, when pilot signals are transmitted in the frequency domain or transmitted in the time domain, their design is also different. The embodiment of the present application discusses the case of transmitting a pilot signal on a frequency domain.
频域的导频信号主要应用于多载波***如正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)***、单载波频分多址(Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access,SC-FDMA)***和离散傅里叶变换预编码的正交频分复用(Discrete Fourier Transform-Precoded OFDM,DFT-precoded OFDM)***等。导频信号可以用于估计信道,估计射频失真的干扰,例如相噪、频偏和同相和正交相位不平衡(In-phase and Quadrature-phase Imbalance,IQI)。导频信号还可以用于其他有同样等效信道信号模型的其他多载波***,例如通用滤波多载波(Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier,UFMC)***、广义频分复用(Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing,GFDM)和单载波频域均衡***等。The pilot signals in the frequency domain are mainly applied to a multi-carrier system such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system or a Single-Carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) system. And Discrete Fourier Transform-Precoded OFDM (DFT-precoded OFDM) system and the like. The pilot signal can be used to estimate the channel and estimate interference of radio frequency distortion, such as phase noise, frequency offset, and in-phase and quadrature-phase Imbalance (IQI). The pilot signal can also be used in other multi-carrier systems with the same equivalent channel signal model, such as Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) system, Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM). And single carrier frequency domain equalization system.
现有的导频序列的设计方案主要分为无射频失真条件下的导频序列的设计和射频失真条件下的导频序列设计。由于实际***中一般都存在射频失真,本申请实施例应用于射频失真条件下的导频序列设计。现有的射频失真条件下的导频序列的设计方案主要有针对信道+IQI的导频序列设计、针对信道+相位噪声的导频序列设计和针对信道+相位噪声+频偏的导频序列设计等等。但是针对相噪引起的载波间干扰(Inter-Carrier/Inter-sub-Carrier Interference,ICI)和IQI引起的镜像干扰(Mirror Tone Interference,MTI)的导频序列设计则较少。The design scheme of the existing pilot sequence is mainly divided into the design of the pilot sequence without radio frequency distortion and the pilot sequence design under the condition of radio frequency distortion. Since radio frequency distortion generally exists in an actual system, the embodiment of the present application is applied to pilot sequence design under radio frequency distortion conditions. The existing pilot sequence design under RF distortion conditions mainly includes pilot sequence design for channel + IQI, pilot sequence design for channel + phase noise, and pilot sequence design for channel + phase noise + frequency offset. and many more. However, the pilot sequence design for Inter-Carrier/Inter-sub-Carrier Interference (ICI) caused by phase noise and Mirror Tone Interference (MTI) caused by IQI is less.
图1示出了现有的一种导频序列设计方案。该方案对于MTI和ICI对导频序列的影响均未考虑。如图所示,当RFD水平较高时,ICI和/或MTI会严重影响***性能,导频序列中各位置的信号会受到旁边子载波的干扰(ICI)和镜像干扰(MTI)。导频序列中非零导频和零导频都受到很大干扰,导致等效信道增益的估计不准确,使得***在现有的导频设计方案下无法正常工作。其中,图中的DC(Direct Current)表示直流子载波。Figure 1 shows a prior art pilot sequence design. The scheme does not consider the effects of MTI and ICI on the pilot sequence. As shown in the figure, when the RFD level is high, ICI and/or MTI will seriously affect the system performance. The signals at each position in the pilot sequence will be interfered by the adjacent subcarriers (ICI) and image interference (MTI). Both the non-zero pilot and the zero pilot in the pilot sequence are greatly interfered, resulting in an inaccurate estimation of the equivalent channel gain, which makes the system unable to work properly under the existing pilot design scheme. Among them, DC (Direct Current) in the figure represents a DC subcarrier.
图2示出了现有的另一种导频序列设计方案。该方案未考虑ICI对导频序列的影响。如图所示,当RFD水平较高时,导频序列中非零导频和零导频都受到很大干扰,使得系
统在现有的导频设计方案下无法正常工作。Figure 2 shows another prior art pilot sequence design. This scheme does not consider the impact of ICI on the pilot sequence. As shown in the figure, when the RFD level is high, the non-zero pilot and zero pilot in the pilot sequence are greatly disturbed.
The system does not work properly under the existing pilot design scheme.
图3示出了现有的又一种导频序列设计方案。该方案对于MTI和ICI对导频序列的影响均未考虑。如图所示,接收导频被数据的ICI以及其它导频的MTI破坏,导致信道估计不准确,数据解调性能恶化。FIG. 3 shows another prior art pilot sequence design. The scheme does not consider the effects of MTI and ICI on the pilot sequence. As shown, the received pilot is corrupted by the ICI of the data and the MTI of the other pilots, resulting in inaccurate channel estimation and degraded data demodulation performance.
综上所述,现有的导频序列设计方案,要么只考虑镜像干扰(MTI),要么只考虑载波间干扰(ICI),或者MTI和ICI的影响均未考虑。因此,当RFD水平较高时,ICI和/或MTI会严重影响***的性能,使得***在现有的导频设计方案下无法正常工作。In summary, the existing pilot sequence design scheme only considers image interference (MTI), or only considers inter-carrier interference (ICI), or the effects of MTI and ICI are not considered. Therefore, when the RFD level is high, ICI and/or MTI will seriously affect the performance of the system, making the system not working properly under the existing pilot design scheme.
本申请实施例针对现有方案的以上不足,提出了新的有效的导频序列的设计方案。本申请实施例中导频序列的设计可以分为两种类型。第一类导频序列,如图4所示,该类导频序列所在的OFDM符号的所有有用子载波都用来发送导频(包括非零导频或零导频)。通常,第一类导频序列所在的OFDM符号放在发送帧的最前面,或者插在发送帧的中部,或者穿插在整个发送帧里面。第二类导频序列,如图5所示,在同一个OFDM符号内同时发送数据及导频(包括非零导频或零导频)。如图6所示,第一类导频序列和第二类导频序列还可以结合在一起设计。The embodiments of the present application propose a new effective pilot sequence design scheme for the above deficiencies of the existing solutions. The design of the pilot sequences in the embodiments of the present application can be divided into two types. The first type of pilot sequence, as shown in FIG. 4, all the useful subcarriers of the OFDM symbol in which the pilot sequence is located are used to transmit pilots (including non-zero pilots or zero pilots). Typically, the OFDM symbol in which the first type of pilot sequence is located is placed at the top of the transmitted frame, or inserted in the middle of the transmitted frame, or interspersed throughout the transmitted frame. The second type of pilot sequence, as shown in Figure 5, simultaneously transmits data and pilots (including non-zero pilots or zero pilots) within the same OFDM symbol. As shown in FIG. 6, the first type of pilot sequence and the second type of pilot sequence can also be designed together.
为了方便描述,对导频序列设计过程中涉及的参数基概念进行定义。For convenience of description, the concept of parameter bases involved in the design of the pilot sequence is defined.

应理解,本申请实施例中,扩展长度是指由于干扰扩展所导致的在频域上的影响范围。具体而言,扩展长度范围内的子载波会对非零导频造成干扰。非零导频会受到旁边所有子载波的干扰,例如对于ICI,离非零导频越近的子载波,对非零导频的干扰越大。例如,ICI扩展长度是指由于ICI扩展所导致的在频域上的影响范围,具体如由于ICI扩展所导致的在频域上影响的子载波的个数。MTI扩展长度是指由于MTI扩展所导致的在频域上的影响范围,具体如由于MTI扩展所导致的在频域上影响的子载波的个数。当然干扰的扩展不仅仅以子载波个数为单位,也可以以其他方式作为单位,本申请实施例对此不作限定。It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the extended length refers to the range of influence in the frequency domain due to interference spreading. In particular, subcarriers within the extended length range can cause interference to non-zero pilots. Non-zero pilots are subject to interference by all subcarriers alongside, for example, for ICI, the closer the subcarriers are to non-zero pilots, the greater the interference to non-zero pilots. For example, the ICI extension length refers to the range of influence in the frequency domain due to ICI expansion, such as the number of subcarriers affected in the frequency domain due to ICI expansion. The MTI extension length refers to the range of influence in the frequency domain due to the MTI extension, such as the number of subcarriers affected in the frequency domain due to the MTI extension. Of course, the extension of the interference is not limited to the number of subcarriers, and may be used as a unit in other manners.

换而言之,发送设备生成导频序列,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔是根据射频失真条件下干扰的扩展长度确定的,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,所述非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波为空子载波;发送所述导频序列。In other words, the transmitting device generates a pilot sequence, where pilot intervals of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence are determined according to an extended length of interference under radio frequency distortion conditions, the pilot sequence The pilot between any two adjacent non-zero pilots is a zero pilot, and the mirror subcarrier corresponding to the subcarrier of the non-zero pilot is a null subcarrier; the pilot sequence is transmitted.
从结果上来看,该方法可以包括:确定导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔,所述导频间隔大于或等于1;根据所述导频间隔生成所述导频序列,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,所述导频序列的非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波为空子载波;发送所述导频序列。或者,该方法可以包括:生成导频序列,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于1,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,所述非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波为空子载波;发送所述导频序列。In a result, the method may include: determining a pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence, the pilot interval being greater than or equal to 1; generating the guide according to the pilot interval a frequency sequence, where pilots between any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence are zero pilots, and a mirror subcarrier corresponding to a non-zero pilot subcarrier of the pilot sequence is a null subcarrier Sending the pilot sequence.

在本申请实施例中,为***分配非零导频载波的同时,还为***分配零导频载波,
非零导频的导频间隔设计基于不被不干扰的原则,使非零导频载波和数据受到干扰的影响明显减弱,从而使得***受射频失真的影响较小,提升***的性能。In the embodiment of the present application, when the system allocates a non-zero pilot carrier, the system also allocates a zero pilot carrier.
The pilot spacing design of non-zero pilots is based on the principle of non-interference, which significantly reduces the influence of non-zero pilot carriers and data interference, which makes the system less affected by RF distortion and improves system performance.
应理解,本申请各实施例中所讨论的干扰主要涉及ICI和MTI,当然当***中存在其他干扰时也可以以考虑类似ICI和MTI的方式,将其对导频序列设计的影响考虑进来。对应上文,所述扩展长度包括载波间干扰ICI扩展长度和镜像干扰MTI扩展长度。It should be understood that the interferences discussed in the embodiments of the present application mainly relate to ICI and MTI. Of course, when other interferences exist in the system, the influence on the pilot sequence design can be taken into account in consideration of similar ICI and MTI. Corresponding to the above, the extended length includes an inter-carrier interference ICI extension length and a mirror interference MTI extension length.
ICI扩展长度又可以称为ICI扩展因子,MTI扩展长度又可以称为MTI扩展因子。ICI扩展因子和MTI扩展因子可以是单边的也可以是双边的,并且可以根据不同准则选取不同的配置,本申请实施例对此不作限定。The ICI extension length can also be referred to as an ICI spreading factor, which in turn can be referred to as an MTI spreading factor. The ICI expansion factor and the MTI extension factor may be unilateral or bilateral, and different configurations may be selected according to different criteria, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
因此,同同时考虑相噪引起ICI以及IQI引起MTI的影响。根据射频失真条件下ICI扩展长度和MTI扩展长度确定导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔,导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,由此将ICI和IQI与非零导频错开,使干扰不影响导频子载波,从而提升***的性能。应理解,本申请实施例主要针对发送设备和接收设备均存在高射频失真的***,其各个RF通道的射频失真会引起非相干的ICI和MTI。Therefore, the simultaneous consideration of phase noise causes ICI and IQI to cause the influence of MTI. Determining the pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence according to the ICI extension length and the MTI extension length under the condition of radio frequency distortion, and guiding between any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence The frequency is zero pilot, thereby shifting the ICI and IQI from the non-zero pilot, so that the interference does not affect the pilot subcarriers, thereby improving the performance of the system. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are mainly directed to a system in which both the transmitting device and the receiving device have high radio frequency distortion, and the radio frequency distortion of each RF channel causes non-coherent ICI and MTI.
具体而言,S501确定导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔,可以包括:Specifically, S501 determines a pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence, and may include:
根据所述射频失真条件下干扰的扩展长度,确定非零导频最小抗干扰距离;Determining a non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance according to the extended length of the interference under the radio frequency distortion condition;
根据所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,确定所述导频间隔,所述导频序列中的任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离。Determining, according to the non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, a pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence is greater than or equal to a minimum of the non-zero pilot Anti-interference distance.
其中,在此之前还可以获取射频失真条件下的干扰的扩展长度。具体到ICI和MTI两种干扰,则为获取射频失真条件下的载波间干扰ICI扩展长度和镜像干扰MTI扩展长度。Among them, the extended length of the interference under the condition of radio frequency distortion can be obtained before this. Specifically, the ICI and MTI interferences are used to obtain the inter-carrier interference ICI extension length and the image interference MTI extension length under the condition of radio frequency distortion.
具体地,发送导频序列的过程可以如下:Specifically, the process of transmitting a pilot sequence can be as follows:

根据所述扩展长度,确定非零导频最小抗干扰距离;Determining a non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance according to the extended length;
根据所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,生成导频序列,所述导频序列中的任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,且非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波为空子载波;Generating a pilot sequence according to the non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, where a pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence is greater than or equal to the non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference The pilot between any two adjacent non-zero pilots in the pilot sequence is zero pilot, and the mirror subcarrier corresponding to the subcarrier of the non-zero pilot is an empty subcarrier;
发送所述导频序列。The pilot sequence is transmitted.
本申请实施例中,根据RFD的水平、信道设置的不同或者***设置的不同,导频序列的设计参数也有所不同。本申请实施例针对具有频域选择性信道,发送设备和/或接收设备存在RFD的OFDM、SC-FDMA或其他多载波***提出的导频序列设计方案,包括:用于估计等效信道增益的导频序列的设计方案;用于估计I CI系数和MTI系数的导频序列的设计方案;以及用于估计等效信道增益和估计ICI系数及MTI系数的导频序列的设计方案。In the embodiment of the present application, the design parameters of the pilot sequence are also different according to the level of the RFD, the channel setting, or the system setting. The embodiment of the present application is directed to a pilot sequence design scheme for an OFDM, SC-FDMA, or other multi-carrier system having a frequency domain selective channel, a transmitting device, and/or a receiving device having an RFD, including: a method for estimating an equivalent channel gain. A design scheme of a pilot sequence; a design scheme of a pilot sequence for estimating an I CI coefficient and an MTI coefficient; and a design scheme of a pilot sequence for estimating an equivalent channel gain and estimating an ICI coefficient and an MTI coefficient.
具体地,所述方法可以包括:获取射频失真条件下的载波间干扰ICI扩展长度和镜像干扰MTI扩展长度;根据所述ICI扩展长度和所述MTI扩展长度,确定非零导频最小抗干扰距离;根据所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,生成导频序列,所述导频序列中的任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,所述导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频之间的导频为零导频,且非零导频的子载波对应的镜像

The subcarrier is an empty subcarrier; the pilot sequence is transmitted.
本申请实施例的传输导频信号的方法区别于现有的导频序列的设计方案的地方在于:为***分配非零导频载波的同时,还为***分配零导频载波,非零导频的导频间隔设计基于不被不干扰的原则,使非零导频载波和数据受到MTI和ICI的影响明显减弱,从而使得***受RFD的影响较小,提升***的性能。The method for transmitting a pilot signal in the embodiment of the present application is different from the existing pilot sequence design in that a non-zero pilot carrier is allocated to the system, and a zero pilot carrier is also allocated to the system, and a non-zero pilot is allocated. The pilot spacing design is based on the principle of non-interference, so that the non-zero pilot carrier and data are significantly weakened by the influence of MTI and ICI, so that the system is less affected by RFD and improves the performance of the system.
上文已经介绍了本申请实施例涉及的两类导频序列。具体地,本申请实施例的导频序列的设计方案可以分为4组。第一组设计方案为将第一类导频序列,用于估计等效信道增益;第二组设计方案为将第二类导频序列,用于估计ICI系数和MTI系数;第三组设计方案为将第一类导频序列,用于估计等效信道增益和估计ICI系数及MTI系数;第四组设计方案为将第一组设计方案和第二组设计方案结合起来,用于估计等效信道增益和估计ICI系数及MTI系数,成为混合类型的导频序列的设计方案。The two types of pilot sequences involved in the embodiments of the present application have been described above. Specifically, the design scheme of the pilot sequence of the embodiment of the present application can be divided into four groups. The first set of design schemes is to use the first type of pilot sequence to estimate the equivalent channel gain; the second set of design schemes is to use the second type of pilot sequence to estimate the ICI coefficient and the MTI coefficient; To estimate the equivalent channel gain and estimate the ICI coefficient and the MTI coefficient for the first type of pilot sequence; the fourth set of design schemes is to combine the first set of design schemes with the second set of design schemes for estimating the equivalent The channel gain and estimated ICI coefficients and MTI coefficients are the design of the pilot type of the hybrid type.
下面首先大致介绍本申请实施例中不同场景下导频序列的设计思路。应理解,本申请实施例中可以不使用直流子载波(DC),将其在图中用虚线标示。The following is a brief introduction to the design of the pilot sequence in different scenarios in the embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the DC subcarrier (DC) may not be used in the embodiment of the present application, which is indicated by a broken line in the figure.
图8、图9和图10示出的为第一组设计方案,用于估计等效信道增益,导频序列覆盖整个有效子载波范围。所述导频间隔使得干扰对非零导频的影响小于第一阈值,所述生成导频序列,包括:根据***的等效信道相干带宽,生成所述导频序列。本组设计方案,用于估计等效信道增益的场景,其设计使得导频序列最终等效的导频间隔使得干扰对非零导频的影响小于第一阈值,且导频序列最终等效的导频间隔小于或等于***的等效信道相干带宽。第一阈值可以是根据***对干扰的容忍程度确定的。具体而言,通过参考***中存在的干扰的扩展长度可以设计导频间隔,使之符合干扰对非零导频的影响小于第一阈值。图8对应的ICI扩展长度κ=1,MTI扩展长度ι=0。图9和图10对应的ICI扩展长度κ=1,MTI扩展长度ι=1。Figures 8, 9 and 10 show a first set of designs for estimating the equivalent channel gain, the pilot sequence covering the entire effective subcarrier range. The pilot interval is such that the impact of the interference on the non-zero pilot is less than the first threshold, and the generating the pilot sequence includes: generating the pilot sequence according to an equivalent channel coherence bandwidth of the system. The set of design schemes for estimating the equivalent channel gain is designed such that the pilot sequence of the pilot sequence is equivalent to the interference interval, so that the influence of the interference on the non-zero pilot is less than the first threshold, and the pilot sequence is ultimately equivalent. The pilot spacing is less than or equal to the equivalent channel coherence bandwidth of the system. The first threshold may be determined based on the degree of tolerance of the system to interference. Specifically, the pilot interval can be designed by referring to the extended length of the interference existing in the system so that the interference to the non-zero pilot has less than the first threshold. The corresponding ICI extension length κ=1 in FIG. 8 and the MTI extension length ι=0. The ICI extension length κ=1 corresponding to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, and the MTI extension length ι=1.
具体而言,由于每一个子载波都会受到周围子载波的载波间干扰(ICI),以及镜像位置的镜像干扰(MTI)。因此,为了使非零导频不受ICI和MTI扩展的影响,在非零导频之间***适当数量的零导频,即***零导频获得的非零导频间的导频间隔使得干扰对非零导频的影响小于一定的阈值,例如第一阈值。换而言之,发送设备在多个导频子载波上分别发送非零导频信号,任意两个相邻的非零导频子载波之间至少有一个空子载波,该空子载波不发送信号,并且非零导频位置的镜像子载波也为一个空子载波。优选地,非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波左右分别相邻的子载波也为空子载波(如图9和图10所示)。由此,可以进一步减小MTI对***性能的影响。Specifically, each subcarrier is subject to inter-carrier interference (ICI) of surrounding subcarriers and image interference (MTI) of the mirrored location. Therefore, in order to make non-zero pilots unaffected by ICI and MTI extension, insert an appropriate number of zero pilots between non-zero pilots, that is, pilot intervals between non-zero pilots obtained by inserting zero pilots. The effect on non-zero pilots is less than a certain threshold, such as the first threshold. In other words, the transmitting device separately transmits a non-zero pilot signal on multiple pilot subcarriers, and at least one empty subcarrier between any two adjacent non-zero pilot subcarriers, and the null subcarrier does not send a signal. And the mirror subcarrier of the non-zero pilot position is also an empty subcarrier. Preferably, the subcarriers adjacent to each other on the left and right of the mirror subcarrier corresponding to the subcarriers of the non-zero pilot are also null subcarriers (as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10). Thereby, the influence of MTI on system performance can be further reduced.
具体地,至少max(κ,2ι+1)个(其中,max(a,b)表示取a和b中值较大的作为输出)零导频被***非零导频之间,使得ICI和MTI的扩展落入空子载波的位置。max(κ+1,2ι+2)称为估计等效信道增益非零导频的最小抗干扰距离,也可以称为第一非零导频最小抗干扰距离,用IFDmain表示。Specifically, at least max(κ, 2ι+1) (where max(a, b) represents taking a larger value of a and b as an output) zero pilot is inserted between non-zero pilots, such that ICI and The extension of the MTI falls into the position of the null subcarrier. Max(κ+1, 2ι+2) is called the minimum anti-interference distance for estimating the equivalent channel gain non-zero pilot, and may also be referred to as the first non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, which is represented by IFD main .
其中,IFDmain=max(κ+1,2ι+2)是一种可选的实现方式,其镜像子载波占一个子载波,MTI的单边扩展长度为ι,双边扩展长度为为2ι,因此需要的空载波个数为2ι+1,非零导频的导频间隔从MTI角度看需要大于或等于2ι+2。Among them, IFD main =max(κ+1,2ι+2) is an optional implementation. The mirror subcarriers occupy one subcarrier. The MTI has a unilateral extension length of ι and a bilateral extension length of 2 ι. The number of null carriers required is 2ι+1, and the pilot spacing of non-zero pilots needs to be greater than or equal to 2ι+2 from the MTI perspective.
在一个可选的实施例中,非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波左右分别相邻的子载
波也可以为空子载波。In an optional embodiment, the subcarriers of the non-zero pilot subcarriers are respectively adjacent to the left and right subcarriers of the mirror subcarriers.
The wave can also be an empty subcarrier.
相应地,所述导频序列用于估计等效信道增益,所述ICI扩展长度为κ个子载波,所述MTI扩展长度为ι个子载波,根据所述ICI扩展长度和所述MTI扩展长度,确定非零导频最小抗干扰距离,可以包括:Correspondingly, the pilot sequence is used to estimate an equivalent channel gain, the ICI extension length is κ subcarriers, and the MTI extension length is ι subcarriers, and is determined according to the ICI extension length and the MTI extension length. Non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, which can include:
根据所述ICI扩展长度为κ个子载波和所述MTI扩展长度为ι个子载波,确定用于估计等效信道增益的第一非零导频最小抗干扰距离IFDmain=max(κ+1,2ι+2)。Determining a first non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance IFD main =max(κ+1, 2ι) for estimating an equivalent channel gain according to the ICI extension length being κ subcarriers and the MTI extension length being ι subcarriers +2).
继而,根据***的等效信道相干带宽和第一非零导频最小抗干扰距离IFDmain,可以生成导频序列。如果非零导频的导频间隔小于或等于等效信道相干带宽,由于在信道相干带宽内信道基本不变,因此,通过一个符号可以满足信道估计的需求。否则,需要多个导频符号进行联合估计,使得联合后的相邻非零导频间隔小于或等于等效信道相干带宽。Equivalent channel coherence bandwidth according to the system And a first non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance IFD main , which can generate a pilot sequence. If the pilot interval of the non-zero pilot is less than or equal to the equivalent channel coherence bandwidth, since the channel is substantially unchanged within the channel coherence bandwidth, the channel estimation requirement can be satisfied by one symbol. Otherwise, multiple pilot symbols are needed for joint estimation such that the combined adjacent non-zero pilot spacing is less than or equal to the equivalent channel coherence bandwidth.
图11和图12示出的为第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案,用于估计ICI系数和MTI系数,或用于估计等效信道增益及估计ICI系数和MTI系数。图11对应的ICI扩展长度κ=1,MTI扩展长度ι=0。图12对应的ICI扩展长度κ=1,MTI扩展长度ι=1。11 and 12 show a second set of designs and a third set of designs for estimating ICI coefficients and MTI coefficients, or for estimating equivalent channel gains and estimating ICI coefficients and MTI coefficients. The corresponding ICI extension length κ=1 in FIG. 11 and the MTI extension length ι=0. The corresponding ICI extension length κ=1, and the MTI extension length ι=1.
具体地,可以在非零导频之间***2κ+2ι+1个零导频,使得非零导频的ICI和MTI被减弱,并且不受ICI和MTI扩展的影响。2κ+2ι+2称为抗ICI和MTI的非零导频最小抗干扰距离,也可以称为第二非零导频最小抗干扰距离,用IFDICI,MTI表示。Specifically, 2κ+2ι+1 zero pilots can be inserted between non-zero pilots such that ICI and MTI of non-zero pilots are attenuated and are not affected by ICI and MTI extension. 2κ+2ι+2 is called the non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance against ICI and MTI, and can also be called the second non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, expressed by IFD ICI, MTI .
第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案与第一组设计方案的差别在于,第一组设计方案中导频间隔的选择只需要保证ICI扩展和MTI扩展不干扰非零导频,ICI和MTI可能会重合。而第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案中导频间隔的选择原则除了保证ICI扩展和MTI扩展不干扰非零导频,还需要满足ICI扩展和MTI扩展之间互相不干扰,这样才能较准确的估计出ICI及MTI。因此,以导频间隔等于非零导频最小抗干扰距离来设计导频序列时,第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案的非零导频的导频间隔大于第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案。以导频间隔大于非零导频最小抗干扰距离来设计导频序列时,第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案。The difference between the second set of design schemes and the third set of design schemes is that the selection of pilot intervals in the first set of design schemes only needs to ensure that ICI extension and MTI extension do not interfere with non-zero pilots, ICI and MTI. May coincide. In addition to ensuring that ICI extension and MTI extension do not interfere with non-zero pilots, the principle of selection of pilot spacing in the second set of design schemes and the third set of design schemes also needs to satisfy the mutual interference between ICI extension and MTI extension. Accurately estimate ICI and MTI. Therefore, when the pilot sequence is designed with the pilot interval equal to the minimum anti-interference distance of the non-zero pilot, the pilot intervals of the non-zero pilots of the second set of design schemes and the third set of design schemes are larger than the second set of design schemes and the first Three sets of design options. When the pilot sequence is designed with the pilot interval greater than the minimum anti-interference distance of the non-zero pilot, the pilot interval of the non-zero pilot of the second set of design schemes and the third set of design schemes is greater than or equal to the second set of design schemes and the Three sets of design options.
相应地,所述导频序列用于估计射频失真条件下的至少两种干扰,所述导频间隔使得所述至少两种干扰对非零导频的影响小于第一阈值,并且所述导频间隔使得所述至少两种干扰相互之间的影响小于第二阈值。第二阈值可以是根据***对干扰的容忍程度确定的。具体而言,通过参考***中存在的干扰的扩展长度可以设计导频间隔,使之符合干扰相互之间的影响小于第二阈值。Correspondingly, the pilot sequence is configured to estimate at least two types of interference in a radio frequency distortion condition, the pilot interval causing the influence of the at least two types of interference on a non-zero pilot to be less than a first threshold, and the pilot The spacing is such that the effects of the at least two disturbances are less than a second threshold. The second threshold may be determined based on the degree of tolerance of the system to interference. Specifically, the pilot interval can be designed by referring to the extended length of the interference existing in the system so that the interference between the interferences is less than the second threshold.
第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案的区别在于,第二组设计方案用于估计ICI系数和MTI系数,第三组设计方案用于估计等效信道增益及估计ICI系数和MTI系数。第二组设计方案中在发送所述导频序列的符号上,还发送数据信号。相应地,发送导频序列,可以包括:在符号上发送该导频序列;方法500还包括:在该符号上还发送数据信号。The second set of designs differs from the third set of designs in that the second set of designs is used to estimate the ICI coefficients and the MTI coefficients, and the third set of designs is used to estimate the equivalent channel gain and estimate the ICI coefficients and MTI coefficients. In the second set of designs, the data signal is also transmitted on the symbol transmitting the pilot sequence. Accordingly, transmitting the pilot sequence can include transmitting the pilot sequence on a symbol; the method 500 further comprising: transmitting a data signal on the symbol.
针对第二组设计方案和第三组设计方案,所述根据所述ICI扩展长度和所述MTI扩展长度,确定非零导频最小抗干扰距离,可以包括:

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the form of the basic pilot unit. A basic pilot unit may be optionally selected in the following description, which is described by the symbol p.

Non-zero pilot sets p R, (k) and p L, (k) respectively with Said that for the basic pilot unit one has For the basic pilot unit two The pilot vector {p R,(k) } may be a cascade of [p R,(1) , p R,(2) ,...,p R,(K) ], or may be added with several spaces. The concatenation of carriers (eg, a null subcarrier) such as [p R,(1) , 0,p R,(2) , 0,...,p R,(K-1) ,0,p R,(K ) ].
对于不同的数字通道,其非零导频索引集合有以下相关关系:(基本导频单元直接级联的情况),或(基本导频单元间加入一个空子载波的情况)。直流子载波右边的非零导频集合用pR表示,可以从获取,直流子载波左边的非零导频集合用pL表示,可以从获取。对于基本导频单元一,有对于基本导频单元二,有应理解,这里n表示符号n,在本申请实施例中仅占用一个符号,下角标处的n可以省略。For different digital channels, the non-zero pilot index set has the following correlation: (in the case where the basic pilot unit is directly cascaded), or (In the case of adding an empty subcarrier between basic pilot units). The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is denoted by p R and can be derived from Obtain, the non-zero pilot set to the left of the DC subcarrier is denoted by p L and can be obtained from Obtain.

图20为本申请实施例的一个具体的例子,其中κ=2,ι=0,K=2个数字信道,每个数字通道包含2V=4个非零导频,两个数字通道的导频之间采用直接级联的模式。两个数字通道在时间上使用相同的导频符号。因此,针对第一个数字通道,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为针对第二个数字通道,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为如此设计使得非零导频与ICI扩展及MTI扩展被减弱,可以保证数据和导频不受ICI和MTI的干扰。20 is a specific example of an embodiment of the present application, where κ=2, ι=0, K=2 digital channels, each digital channel includes 2V=4 non-zero pilots, pilots of two digital channels A direct cascading mode is used. The two digital channels use the same pilot symbols in time. Therefore, for the first digital channel, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is For the second digital channel, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is This design allows non-zero pilot and ICI expansion and MTI extension to be attenuated, ensuring that data and pilots are not interfered with by ICI and MTI.
在本场景的另外一种情况下,即仍是在针对K个数字通道***,一个导频符号可以满足所有K个数字通道导频的场景中,符号上不发送数据的情况下。假设每个数字通道使用2V个非零导频。本申请实施例应用于以下条件:2(κ+ι+1)VK<min(NL,NR)(基本导频单元直接级联的情况),或2(κ+ι+1)VK+K<min(NL,NR)(基本导频单元间加入空子载波的情况)。具体设计与发送数据的情况相类似。
In another case of this scenario, that is, in the case where one pilot symbol can satisfy all K digital channel pilots for K digital channel systems, no data is transmitted on the symbol. Assume that each digital channel uses 2V non-zero pilots. The embodiment of the present application is applied to the following conditions: 2(κ+ι+1)VK<min(N L , N R ) (in the case where the basic pilot unit is directly cascaded), or 2(κ+ι+1)VK+ K<min(N L , N R ) (in the case where a null subcarrier is added between basic pilot units). The specific design is similar to the case of sending data.
图21为本申请实施例的一个具体的例子,其中κ=2,ι=0,K=3个数字信道,每个数字通道包含2V=8个非零导频,不同数字通道的导频向量{pR,(k),pL,(k)}通过5个空载波分离开。因此,针对第一个数字通道,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pL,(1);直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pR,(1)。针对第二个数字通道,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pL,(2);直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pR,(2)。针对第三个数字通道,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pL,(3);直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为pR,(3)。如此设计使得非零导频与ICI扩展及MTI扩展被减弱,可以保证数据和导频不受ICI和MTI的干扰。FIG. 21 is a specific example of an embodiment of the present application, where κ=2, ι=0, K=3 digital channels, each digital channel includes 2V=8 non-zero pilots, pilot vectors of different digital channels {p R,(k) , p L,(k) } is separated by 5 empty carriers. Therefore, for the first digital channel, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p L, (1) ; the set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p R, (1) . For the second digital channel, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p L, (2) ; the set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p R, (2) . For the third digital channel, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p L, (3) ; the set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is p R, (3) . This design allows non-zero pilot and ICI expansion and MTI extension to be attenuated, ensuring that data and pilots are not interfered with by ICI and MTI.
其中另一种场景为***具有K个数字通道,其中,K大于或等于2,所述根据所述非零导频最小抗干扰距离,生成导频序列,可以包括:如果K个数字通道的导频序列的总长度大于一个符号上导频可用信道带宽,在T个符号上生成K个导频序列,其中,T小于或等于K,第t个符号的导频可用信道带宽上生成Kt个导频序列,t的取值为1,2,...,T,Kt小于或等于K'0,一个符号最多可传输K'0个数字通道的导频序列,所述K个导频序列中每个导频序列中任意两个相邻的非零导频的导频间隔大于或等于所述第二非零导频最小抗干扰距离,所述第t个符号上的Kt个导频序列中的任意两个导频序列的非零导频对应的子载波不同。Another scenario is that the system has K digital channels, where K is greater than or equal to 2, and the generating a pilot sequence according to the non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance may include: if the K digital channels are guided The total length of the frequency sequence is greater than the pilot available channel bandwidth on one symbol, and K pilot sequences are generated on T symbols, where T is less than or equal to K, and the pilot of the t-th symbol can generate K t over the available channel bandwidth. The pilot sequence, where t has a value of 1, 2, ..., T, K t is less than or equal to K' 0 , a symbol can transmit a pilot sequence of up to K' 0 digital channels, the K pilots a pilot interval of any two adjacent non-zero pilots in each pilot sequence in the sequence is greater than or equal to the second non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance, and K t guides on the t-th symbol The subcarriers corresponding to the non-zero pilots of any two pilot sequences in the frequency sequence are different.
本申请实施例是针对具有K个数字通道的***,一个导频符号无法满足所有K个数字通道导频的场景。假设每个数字通道使用2V个非零导频,1个导频符号最多可以为K'0个数字通道提供导频,其他子载波用来传输数据,因此,共需要个符号承载导频,其中第t个符号为Kt数字通道提供导频,K1+K2+...+KT=K,Kt≤K'0。对于每一个导频符号,采用图20类似的设计。The embodiment of the present application is directed to a system with K digital channels, where one pilot symbol cannot satisfy all K digital channel pilots. Assuming that each digital channel using pilot 2V nonzero, a pilot symbol may be provided up to the pilot to K '0 digital channels, the other subcarriers used to transmit data, therefore, a total of The symbols carry pilots, where the tth symbol provides a pilot for the K t digital channel, K 1 +K 2 +...+K T =K, K t ≤K' 0 . For each pilot symbol, a similar design to that of Figure 20 is employed.
图22为本申请实施例的一个具体的例子,其中κ=2,ι=0,K=4个数字信道,每个数字通道包含2V=4个非零导频,每个导频符号为2个数字通道的设置导频。每个
数字通道在符号上导频序列的设计如图22所示,在符号1上设计第一个数字通道的导频序列,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为在符号1上设计第二个数字通道的导频序列,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为在符号2上设计第三个数字通道的导频序列,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为在符号2上设计第四个数字通道的导频序列,直流子载波左侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为直流子载波右侧的非零导频的集合为基本导频单元所占用的位置的集合为如此设计使得非零导频与ICI扩展及MTI扩展被减弱,可以保证数据和导频不受ICI和MTI的干扰。FIG. 22 is a specific example of an embodiment of the present application, where κ=2, ι=0, K=4 digital channels, each digital channel includes 2V=4 non-zero pilots, and each pilot symbol is 2 Set the pilot for the digital channel. The design of the pilot sequence for each digital channel on the symbol is as shown in Fig. 22. The pilot sequence of the first digital channel is designed on symbol 1, and the set of non-zero pilots on the left side of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is Designing a pilot sequence for the second digital channel on symbol 1, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is Designing a pilot sequence for the third digital channel on symbol 2, the set of non-zero pilots to the left of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is Designing the pilot sequence of the fourth digital channel on symbol 2, the set of non-zero pilots on the left side of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is The set of non-zero pilots to the right of the DC subcarrier is The set of locations occupied by the basic pilot unit is This design allows non-zero pilot and ICI expansion and MTI extension to be attenuated, ensuring that data and pilots are not interfered with by ICI and MTI.
第三组设计方案中,第一类导频序列用于估计等效信道增益以及估计ICI系数和MTI系数,导频(包括非零导频和空导频)覆盖整个有效子载波范围。导频间隔的选择原则为保证ICI扩展和MTI扩展不干扰非零导频,同时满足ICI扩展和MTI扩展之间互相不干扰,因此需要在非零导频之间***2κ+2ι+1个空导频,这样,非零导频的ICI和MTI被减弱,并且不受ICI扩展和MTI扩展的影响。换而言之,发送设备在多个子载波上分别发送非零导频信号,任意两个相邻非零导频子载波之间至少有一个空子载波,该空子载波不发送信号,并且非零导频的子载波对应的镜像子载波也为一个空子载波。In the third set of designs, the first type of pilot sequence is used to estimate the equivalent channel gain and estimate the ICI coefficient and the MTI coefficient, and the pilot (including non-zero pilot and null pilot) covers the entire effective subcarrier range. The pilot interval selection principle is to ensure that the ICI extension and the MTI extension do not interfere with the non-zero pilot, and that the ICI extension and the MTI extension do not interfere with each other, so it is necessary to insert 2κ+2ι+1 spaces between the non-zero pilots. Pilots, such that non-zero pilot ICI and MTI are attenuated and are not affected by ICI expansion and MTI expansion. In other words, the transmitting device separately transmits a non-zero pilot signal on multiple subcarriers, and at least one empty subcarrier between any two adjacent non-zero pilot subcarriers, the null subcarrier does not transmit a signal, and is not a zero pilot. The mirror subcarrier corresponding to the frequency subcarrier is also an empty subcarrier.
如果非零导频间的导频间隔小于或等于等效信道的相干带宽,由于在信道相干带宽内,信道基本不变,因此,通过一个符号可以满足信道估计的需求。否则,需要多个符号进行联合估计,使得联合后的相邻非零导频间隔小于或等于等效信道的相干带宽。If the pilot spacing between non-zero pilots is less than or equal to the coherent bandwidth of the equivalent channel, since the channel is substantially unchanged within the channel coherence bandwidth, the channel estimation requirement can be satisfied by one symbol. Otherwise, multiple symbols are needed for joint estimation such that the combined adjacent non-zero pilot spacing is less than or equal to the coherence bandwidth of the equivalent channel.
可以理解,第三组设计方案可以与第一组设计方案完全类似,只是将第一组设计方案中的第一非零导频最小抗干扰距离IFDmain用第二非零导频最小抗干扰距离IFDICI,MTI代替。
It can be understood that the third set of design schemes can be completely similar to the first set of design schemes, except that the first non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance IFD main in the first set of design schemes uses the second non-zero pilot minimum anti-interference distance. IFD ICI, MTI instead.

IFD ICI, MTI = 2 (κ + ι +1), the ICI coefficient and the MTI coefficient are time-invariant or time-varying scenarios. Non-zero pilot index set J NZP, a subcarrier index is set corresponding to the defined ICI J ICI = {J NZP -κ, J NZP -κ + 1, ..., J NZP + κ} and MTI set corresponding to subcarrier index J MTI =J mirror ={J NZPM -ι,J NZPM -ι+ 1,...,J NZPM +ι}. Among them, the pilot design needs to meet This design can be designed using the basic pilot unit p (including the basic pilot unit-p 1 or the basic pilot unit 2 p 2 ). For the pilot design to the right of the DC subcarrier, p can be repeated from the l 1 (or l 1 -1) subcarriers until the last valid subcarrier N R . Similarly, the left guide DC subcarrier frequency design, can be repeated from the first p -l 1 + β subcarrier, until the last active subcarriers -N L. Wherein, for the pilot design of the first type of pilot sequence, there is For the pilot design of the second type of pilot sequence, any unused subcarriers are treated as empty subcarriers.

应理解,本申请实施例适用于时不变或时慢变的ICI和MTI的场景及即时变化的ICI和MTI的场景时,设计也可以有所不同。两种场景下导频序列设计的不同之处在于一个传输帧内传输第二类导频序列的符号的个数。对于时时不变或时慢变的ICI和MTI场景,传输第一类导频序列的符号后面只需要一个传输第二类导频序列的符号;而对于即时变化的ICI和MTI的场景,即符号之间ICI系数和MTI系数变化明显的场景,传输第一类导频序列的符号后面的每一个符号都需要设置为传输第二类导频序列的符号。It should be understood that the design of the present application may be different when applied to scenes of ICI and MTI that are time-invariant or slow-changing, and scenes of ICI and MTI that change instantly. The difference in pilot sequence design in both scenarios is the number of symbols in the transmission frame that transmit the second type of pilot sequence. For ICI and MTI scenarios that change from time to time or from time to time, the symbols transmitting the first type of pilot sequence need only one symbol for transmitting the second type of pilot sequence; and for the scenes of ICI and MTI that change instantly, ie symbols In the scenario where the ICI coefficient and the MTI coefficient change significantly, each symbol following the symbol transmitting the first type of pilot sequence needs to be set to transmit the symbol of the second type of pilot sequence.
这是由于如果信道变化很慢,可以认为在一个传输帧中所有符号的等效信道是不变的,只需要通过一个符号就能计算出ICI和MTI,可以用同样的ICI和MTI对所有符号进行估计和补偿;如果信道变化很快,每个符号的信道都是时变的,所以每个符号都要分别进行ICI和MTI的估计和补偿。This is because if the channel changes very slowly, it can be considered that the equivalent channel of all symbols in a transmission frame is constant, only ICI and MTI can be calculated by one symbol, and all symbols can be used with the same ICI and MTI. Estimation and compensation are performed; if the channel changes very quickly, the channel of each symbol is time-varying, so each symbol is separately estimated and compensated for ICI and MTI.
