Description

Specification base station receiver and signal acceptance method
The present invention is general relevant with spread spectrum data transmission, and specifically directly to go up the method for reseptance of transmitting signal relevant with base station receiver and reception and synthesizing multi-path.
The present invention specifically is used in and utilizes code division multiple access, in the cellular wireless system of CDMA.
CDMA is a multipath method based on spread spectrum, and has been used for cellular wireless system recently, and wherein FDMA and TDMA are used in the past.An example of known cdma system is exactly broadband cellular wireless standard EIA/TIA IS-95.
In a typical mobile phone environment, the signal between base station and travelling carriage is multipath propagation between transmitter and receiver normally.This multipath propagation mainly is that the reflection by the outer surface signal realizes.The signal of multipath propagation is because the feasible asynchronism(-nization) that arrives receiver of different propagation delays.In CDMA, multipath propagation is used for signal as diversity mode and receives.The extended code that adopts in the transmission is revised characteristic automatically and can the delay component different with other component be made a distinction.Because cdma receiver adopts the multiple-limb Rake receiver usually, wherein the signal component of propagating on each branch and the different paths is synchronous.A digital receiving element comprises a plurality of rake branch, and each branch is a receiver section of independently finishing synthetic and demodulation received signal component.In cdma receiver, the signal of digital receiver unit different piece is synthetic well, to obtain high-quality signal.
In cdma system, also can adopt so-called soft handover, wherein utilize the grand diversity travelling carriage just can be simultaneously and several base station communications.The quality that travelling carriage connects between transfer period keeps high level, makes the user note less than the interruption in connecting.Make progress (from the base station to the terminal equipment) at downlink side, two or more base stations send identical signal.Because identical frequency is adopted in these base stations, so terminal equipment receives the signaling from a more than transmitter at one time.From different rake branch, distinguish and come as postponing component from the signal of different base station.On uplink direction (from the terminal equipment to the base station), two or more base stations receive the same signal that is sent by terminal equipment.These signals first common point place on signal path is synthetic.This soft handover can be optimized the power adjustment, and it reduces network interference level, and has increased network capacity thus.
The CDMA performance that can measure by spectrum efficiency is further enhanced by sectorization.A microzonation is divided into the sector of desired size, and these sectors are by the directional antenna service.The interference with other interstation that travelling carriage produces can obviously reduce in base station receiver.Its basis is exactly on average, and the interference between different approach axis is evenly to divide, and its quantity can reduce by sectorization as previously discussed.Sectorization can realize on the both direction of transmission naturally.The capacity advantage of being brought by sectorization is directly proportional with the quantity of sector.
In the sub-district of a sectorization, also can adopt the soft handoff of specific so-called More Soft Handoff, wherein travelling carriage is by finishing switching from a sector to another sector with two sector communication at one time.Soft handover has improved quality of connection.
Because the capacity of CDMA is directly relevant with the sensitivity of receiver, so the advantage that any deversity scheme brought will improve the entire capacity of system.Except above-described soft handover, promptly grand diversity, other deversity scheme such as the room and time diversity, also can be used for and being connected of CDMA.
The present invention is specifically relevant with the base station receiver structure of optimizing the More Soft Handoff realization.The prior art relevant with this base station receiver structure described in the IEEE personal communication to some extent, and 1994, the third phase, P.28-34, and ' based on the reverse link performance of cellular system IS-95 ', the R.Padovani works, at this as a reference.
Fig. 1 shows a diversity receiver according to prior art, for example these three sectors of receiver service.In each sector, adopt antenna diversity, i.e. two reception antennas.Antenna 122,124 services first sector, and antenna 126,128 and 130,132 is served second and the 3rd sector respectively.Receiver comprises a plurality of radio frequency unit 100-110.Each antenna is connected with their radio frequency unit of intermediate frequency and digital form that signal transition is become.Digital sample is passed to digital receiver unit 114-118 by RX bus 120.This receiver also comprises the processor controls 112 of control other parts action.A user's signal passes to each receiver unit, this signal by different antennae or even optionally receive from different sectors, what at this moment be concerned about is soft handover.Bus 120 must be a multichannel like this, so that can be used for the corrected received unit from the sampling of different radio frequency unit.
Fig. 2 shows the structure according to the digital received unit 114 of a diversity receiver of prior art.Each unit comprises the desired sampling of reception and they is passed to the demultiplexer 200 of demodulator 202-206, the at the heel and desired signal component of demodulation of these demodulators.In demodulator, frequency spectrum is by being associated to synthesize frequency spectrum with received signal with extended code, thus the signals sampling speed rate of spread that will descend.The signal of Xing Chenging is subsequently by demodulation like this.For example in IS-95, the up link demodulation means a Walsh-Hadamard conversion, in this way the quadrature signaling that adopts is decoded, and, selects related the tightest signal with input signal that is.This unit also comprises searcher 208, and it is at the heel and search for preferential signal component.The output of demodulator is added on the synthesizer 210, and it combines the unlike signal component with good form.Synthetic signal also offers decoder 212.This unit also comprises the processor controls 214 of control other parts action.
In the method for prior art, a central issue is exactly how to realize bus 120.For example in the base station according to EIA/TIA IS-95, the sample frequency that adopts among the unit 100-110 can be chip-rate (1.2288M chip/S), promptly 4,9152 of four times or octuple extended code *10 6Or 9.8304 *10 6Sampling/S.According to situation, the signal dynamics requirement, 4 or 8 sampling resolutions for example, total bit rate of each radio frequency unit is the poorest to 78.6432Mbps (sampling rates of 8 times 8 bit resolutions), preferably arrives 19.6608Mbps (sampling rates of 4 times 4 bit resolutions).These numerals must be multiplied by the quantity of the radio frequency unit 100-110 that is connected with bus 120.As a result, the realization of bus 120 is very expensive, and is that technology is desired.
One object of the present invention just provides the base station that can avoid problem in the prior art.This purpose just provides a base station that need not costliness, high power capacity bus like this.
