Description

Radio base station and the method for wherein expanding for estimating Doppler
Technical field
Embodiment herein relates to radio base station and method wherein. Specifically, embodiment herein relates to the estimation of the doppler spread in radio circuit.
Background technology
In current radio circuit, subscriber equipment by radio link in so-called up-link (UL) transmission to radio base station transmission of information, and radio base station along other direction in so-called downlink (DL) transmission to subscriber equipment transmission of information. Doppler frequency shift is the frequency displacement of the radio signal that run into by receiver in the time that conveyer and receiver move each other. Doppler spread be from conveyer to receiver multiple enter the expansion of Doppler frequency shift of office signaling ray. Doppler spread causes the variation of the propagation channel between conveyer and receiver. The knowledge of doppler spread obtains many application in GSM. The application of this class comprises: receiver algorithm, for example, for the smoothing filter of channel estimating; And radio resource management algorithms, for example selection of link circuit self-adapting, scheduling and closed loop or Open-Loop Spatial Multiplexing. The doppler spread of radio link and channel are inversely proportional to coherence time. Channel coherence time is to think that channel impulse response is the relevant duration, that is, the one other channel impulse response of carrying out during channel impulse response and channel coherence time is relevant. Long channel allows receiver, for example radio base station to follow for dispatching and the effect of the multipath fading of link circuit self-adapting coherence time, for example, for using the Closed-Loop Spatial Multiplexing in time correlation scheduling and the downlink of the GSM such as evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) system. For period from from subscriber equipment to radio base station transfer channel quality information report should be shorter coherence time than channel, be downlink channel status information accurately to provide during the report period. Similarly, the periodicity of the institute's transfer channel detection reference signal in up-link should be shorter coherence time than channel, to realize the efficient uplink channel quality estimation between sounding reference signal transmission enhancement.
Doppler spread can be estimated with doppler spread estimator according to many modes. The time character of the channel estimating of one class doppler spread estimator based on reception signal. In time domain, propagation channel can be modeled as the tapped delay line with time correlation channel tap. Suppose that channel tap C is rayleigh fading channel tap, doppler spread can be estimated from the measured level crossing rate of channel tap C. Some estimators rely on the auto-correlation function R of channel tap Cc

From the estimation of auto-correlation function and the form known of auto-correlation function, doppler spread can be for example fromTimeSecond dervativeWithRatio:
Or estimate from maximal possibility estimation,
WhereinRepresent doppler spread estimation.
Doppler spread is estimatedAlso can obtain from the auto-covariance function of the function of channel tap. The example of this function of channel tap is the squared magnitude of channel tap.
The channel estimating of certain time instance obtains from the transmission of pilot tone or reference signal conventionally. If there is the continuous or periodic transfer in fixed frequency, channel estimator is through simplifying and being more effective. The periodicity of transmission is shorter, can estimate more much higherly generally to strangle expansion or shorter channel coherence time, thereby cause the better resolution ratio of estimation.
Accurately channel estimating require the signal that transmits be known at receiver. In general, transmit with reference to or pilot signal be known, except being constant amplitude and phase place between single transmission period. In some GSMs, for example E-UTRA, travelling carriage can change the delivering power between subsequent transmission. This change changes amplitude and may also change the phase place of transmitted signal. Radio base station is estimated the composite channel being made up of conveyer gain (being amplitude and phase place) and propagation channel. Composite channel is correlated with for the compensation in receiver, but uncorrelated for the propagation of estimating transmission. The auto-correlation function of composite channel and At All Other Times character can be from the auto-correlation functions of propagation channel and character is very different At All Other Times, and therefore the doppler spread based on channel estimating estimates it may is wrong. In general, doppler spread estimator comprise with reception antenna on the time character of time correlation of reception signal, thereby cause and cause the wrong doppler spread of inefficient transmission plan to be estimated.

Subscriber equipment (UE) 10 being served by radio base station 12 communicates by radio link and radio base station 12, and wherein communication is so-called up-link (UL) transmission. Radio base station 12 communicates with subscriber equipment 10 in so-called downlink (DL) transmission. Doppler frequency shift is the frequency displacement of the radio signal that run into by radio base station 12 in the time that subscriber equipment 10 and radio base station 12 move with speed v each other. That is to say, radio base station 12 can be fixing or mobile, and subscriber equipment 10 can be static or mobile, and the difference of speed between them is v along a direction.
Subscriber equipment 10 in UL to radio base station 12 original signal. Propagated and reflex time along the route to radio base station 12 when signal, the unlike signal (i.e. the first and second signals) that derives from primary signal will receive at radio base station 12. Therefore, radio base station 12 receives first signal and secondary signal from subscriber equipment 10. The first and second signals, based on primary signal, are still separating aspect for example space, time and/or polarization. In the time that the through-put power of subscriber equipment 10 affects amplitude and phase place, the variation through-put power of subscriber equipment 10 will change as the channel automatic correlative property being obtained from single reception signal. The mechanism that current embodiment herein provides the variation through-put power that is not subject to subscriber equipment 10 to affect. Radio base station 12 is by comparing received first signal and the initialize signal that is called again known signal to estimate the first channel estimating of first signal.
