Background technology
In current OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM)
In broadband system, it is to support that big bandwidth causes receiver computational processing very big, so as to bring than larger limit to realization
System, is limited to fulfillment capability, and many receivers are difficult to the more excellent algorithm of performance, simultaneously as amount of calculation is high and bring
Receiver energy consumption increases, and chip area is also greatly thing followed problem.
Specifically, OFDM is a kind of transmission method of multicarrier.Frequency band is divided into the transmission of multiple sub-channel parallels for it
Data.Due to its availability of frequency spectrum height, and can be to anti-multipath fading, so being widely used in high-speed radio (wired) communication system
In system, including ADSL/DVB/DAB (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, asymmetrical digital subscriber ring
Road/Digital Video Broadcasting, data video broadcast/Digital Audio Broadcasting, data tones
Frequency is broadcasted) etc. more ripe communication system, and by 802.11 (the Institute of of standard IEEE of WLAN
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE-USA) serial and ETSI
HiperLan (European Telecommunications Standards Institute HIPERLAN, european telecommunication mark
Zhun Hua associations WLAN (WLAN) agreement) adopt.It is believed that OFDM is a kind of very promising transmission technology.
In an ofdm system, the system based on IFFT/FFT (Fast Fourier Transform Inverse/fast Fourier transform) is realized
Flow process is as shown in figure 1, for input signal carries out serial/parallel conversion, carry out QPSK (Quadrature to the signal after conversion
Phase Shift Keying, QPSK) modulation, IFFT conversion, insertion CP (Cyclic Prefix) process, then to process after
Signal carry out parallel/serial conversion;For the signal of output, serial/parallel conversion is carried out first, the signal after conversion is carried out removing CP
Process, FFT, QPSK demodulation, then parallel/serial conversion is carried out to the signal after demodulation.
As ofdm signal is made up of multiple subcarriers of parallel transmission, so frequency domain Selective intensity and narrow-band impulse are dry
Disturb and only can destroy several subcarriers therein, most of signals remain able to correctly recover, therefore ofdm signal is not
Can be totally disrupted as single-carrier signal, most of subchannels have simply distorted a bit slightly, even if no forward error correction
(FEC) auxiliary, error performance is still better than single-carrier system.
In addition in OFDM technology using the method for insertion CP reducing intersymbol interference, and OFDM has used FFT technique
The division of subchannel is realized, therefore the equilibrium of ofdm communication system is for single-carrier system, can be simple.
The advantage of OFDM technology has:Spectrum efficiency is high, (Inter Symbol Interference, intersymbol do anti-ISI
Disturb) ability is strong.The demand of Future Data business cause necessarily use big bandwidth, now OFDM under common communication condition, than
Traditional DS-CDMA (Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access, direct sequence CDMA)
Advantageously.
At present OFDM technology has application in many fields, using the communication system of ofdm system in, locate inside receiver
Reason includes channel estimation, detects, the process such as decoding.LTE system is a typical communication system using OFDM technology, while
Due to introducing MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out, multiple-input and multiple-output) technology, the processing procedure of receiver is more
Plus it is complicated.
As shown in Fig. 2 with LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) it is descending as a example by, give in LTE system
Basic resource structures.In this structure, in time domain, the frame of each LTE is divided into 10 subframes, and each subframe is divided into 2 again
Time slot, each time slot are divided into multiple OFDM symbols again, for each OFDM symbol, are divided into multiple subcarriers in whole bandwidth, that
The single sub-carrier transmitted in each OFDM symbol is a basic resource units (RE, Resource elements),
Here, 1 time slot of time domain is defined, the Resource Block of 180KHz is a PRB on frequency domain, for the receiver of LTE system, is entered
The ultimate unit of row channel estimation and detection is single RE, in the case where descending 20M bandwidth MIMO of LTE is configured to 2*2, is received
Detection needs to process 2400 RE machine every time, and each subcarrier needs independent channel estimation, and carries out independent detection, presses
Scale after this manner, terminal receiver are very high to chip processing capabilities requirement, meanwhile, chip area, the cost that power consumption is brought are asked
Topic is all the problem for needing to face.
In current LTE system, as a result of MIMO technology, in studying at present, commonplace detection algorithm has very
It is many, detect comprising ML (maximum likelihood), ZF (Zero Forcing, ZF) detections, most MMSE (least mean-square error) detections, SD
The detection methods such as (spherical) detection.Wherein, the computational complexity of ML detection methods best performance, but ML detection method is too high, difficult
To apply in practice;And the complexity of the linearity test method such as ZF, MMSE is although relatively low, but poor-performing;It is spherical
Although the non-linear detection algorithms such as SD detections are close to ML detection methods in performance, complexity is very high.
As shown in figure 3, receiver is described by taking descending MMSE detection algorithms as an example carries out data receiver in single sub-carrier
Detailed step:
Step S301, docking collection of letters r carry out CP, obtain signal r1;
Step S302, time-frequency conversion is carried out to r1, obtain data r of frequency domain parallel transmission, the data on each subcarrier
It is expressed as rK, l, wherein k ∈ (0,1 ...., K-1), l ∈ (0,1 ...., L-1);K determined by transmission bandwidth, for example, 20M bands
Wide lower K=1200;L is the corresponding OFDM symbol number of subframe, and the lower L-value of conventional CP configurations is 14.
Step S303, channel estimation is carried out to pilot tone, obtain channel estimation H under each portP, wherein P is port number;
Step S304, row interpolation is entered to each pilot channel estimation, obtain under whole resource each in each OFDM symbol
The channel estimation of subcarrier
Step S305, carry out Data Detection in units of single RE, by taking MMSE linear detection algorithms as an example, enter according to the following formula
Row is processed:
It is step S306, rightIt is demodulated and soft bit information feeding decoder is entered into row decoding;Obtain final demodulation
Bit information b.
In above-mentioned handling process, what computation complexity was higher is channel estimation and detection part, wherein detect
Amount of calculation is maximum, account for substantially the 70% of all amounts of calculation, after adding MIMO technology, and it is multiply-add and invert to carry out matrix,
Computation complexity is higher, and it is o (N particularly to invert with the increase complexity of reception antenna3), for broadband system, if will
Substantial amounts of subcarrier is processed, it is very high to the performance requirement of hardware, also do not have effectively reduce amount of calculation simultaneously in current industry
And the less scheme of performance loss.
Specific embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of RE detection methods and device, it is determined that at least two neighbouring RE are a RE group,
And filter factor is determined by a RE in the RE groups, each RE in the RE groups is filtered using the filter factor, really
Determine testing result.So, for each RE group, all only need to determine a filter factor, reduce the complexity of RE detections.
As shown in figure 4, RE detection methods provided in an embodiment of the present invention include:
Step S401, the Resource Unit RE closed at least two are divided into one group, and in per group determine a center
RE;
Step S402, for each RE group, determine the filter factor of center RE, and according to the filter factor to every in the group
Individual RE is filtered, and determines testing result.
It is due at least including two RE in each RE group, and for each RE group, all only true according to center RE therein
A fixed filter factor, each RE in the group are filtered according to the filter factor, and then reduce amount of calculation, reduce RE inspections
The complexity of survey.
Due between adjacent RE channel difference less, so generally, the filter factor difference of the several RE in a group compared with
It is little, therefore, do not lost to detecting performance substantially using RE detection methods provided in an embodiment of the present invention under common scenarios, only
Have under more severe channel circumstance, detection performance there are some to lose.
As between adjacent RE, channel difference is less, so when RE packets are carried out, it may be determined that composition cross shape
Five RE are a RE group, as shown in figure 5, so, per group in be located at the RE at center and have four RE adjacent thereto.
Now, a center RE is determined in per group, then be specially:It is determined that in five RE of composition cross shape, with which
RE centered on its four RE adjacent RE.
When implementing, as shown in fig. 6, the method for carrying out RE detections is specifically included:
Step S601, docking collection of letters r carry out CP, obtain signal r1;
Step S602, time-frequency conversion is carried out to r1, obtain data r of frequency domain parallel transmission, the data on each subcarrier
It is expressed as rK, l, wherein k ∈ (0,1 ...., K-1), l ∈ (0,1 ...., L-1);K is determined by transmission bandwidth, such as in 20M bands
Wide lower K=1200;L is the corresponding OFDM symbol number of subframe, is 14 under conventional CP configurations.
Step S603, channel estimation is carried out to pilot tone, obtain channel estimation H under each portP, wherein P is port number;
Step S604, row interpolation is entered to each pilot channel estimation, obtain under whole resource each in each OFDM symbol
The channel estimation of subcarrier
Step S605, according to one RE group of pattern definition of cruciate flower, a cruciate flower RE group as shown in figure 5, its acceptance of the bid
Number for 5 RE centered on RE.Due to the particularity of the pattern of cruciate flower, occur that some RE cannot be with complete at the edge of Resource Block
Whole cruciate flower RE groups occur, as shown in fig. 7, specific RE components prescription is illustrated by taking 2 PRB in the range of dotted line as an example
Formula:It is divided into one group with the pattern of cruciate flower per 5 RE, it is center RE to be designated 5, it is center RE to be designated 1,2,3,4
Adjacent R E, the resource of the PRB edges that in addition UE is taken, it may appear that the center RE of some cruciate flower groups is not present in money
The RE identified with oblique line in situation in source block, such as Fig. 7.
Step S606, according to the order of time domain after first frequency domain, the cruciate flower resource group in UE resources is identified, for
Q-th cruciate flower resource group, according to formulaDetermine the filter factor w of center REq, its
In,The channel estimation value of center RE, k are sequence numbers of the center RE in frequency domain, and l is the sequence number of center RE places OFDM symbol;
Step S607, for RE in q-th cruciate flower resource group, be filtered, calculate testing result;Determine center RE's
Testing result is:
Step S608, the direct filter factor using center RE are filtered to other RE in the group, calculate testing result;
The testing result for determining other RE group Nei is:
After determining testing result, you can further testing result is demodulated and enters soft bit information feeding decoder
Row decoding, obtains final demodulation bit information.
As each cruciate flower RE groups are during filter factor is calculated, the filter factor of center RE is all only calculated, it is right
When in the group, other RE are filtered, using the filter factor, so computation complexity is effectively reduced, so as to big
Reduce greatly the computation complexity of whole receiver.
In due to a cruciate flower RE resource group, the channel estimation and adjacent R E of center RE have very strong dependency, therefore,
Thus the error very little that simplification brings, under general channel circumstance, performance is not lost substantially, only in frequency selectivity and time
Select, under all extremely strong channel circumstance, obvious difference, therefore this simplified algorithm just to be had under higher modulation system
Application is extremely strong in the implementation, and as the amount of calculation of detection part can descend to original 1/4 or so, computation complexity
Having obviously reduces, and is a kind of comparatively ideal implementation.
