Description

SIGNAL TO INTERFERENCE RATIO MEASUREMENT APPARATUS FOR POWER CONTROL IN MULTI CARRIER MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to forward power control in a mobile communication system using multiple carriers, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for performing forward power control by measuring a signal of a forward pilot channel in a terminal.

Typically, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) systems use Orthogonal Codes to distinguish each channel. In an ideal channel environment where fading by multipath does not occur, interference between channels using different orthogonal codes does not occur. However, the above situation is only ideal, and in an actual channel environment, the orthogonality between the channels is not maintained due to the delay due to the multipath, and part of the signal input to each finger acts as an interference. . Such interference phenomenon is changed in inverse proportion to the strength of the received signal. That is, when the strength of the received signal is weak, many interference phenomena occur. When the strength of the received signal is large, the interference phenomena weakly occurs.

Therefore, measuring signal to interference ratio (hereinafter referred to as "signal-to-interference ratio") value using interference components may be useful information for forward and reverse power control. This is because, when the base station knows the received signal-to-interference ratio of the terminal, the base station can actively adjust the transmission power to the terminal. In other words, if the received signal-to-interference ratio of the terminal is small, the base station may increase the transmit power to a specific terminal because the current terminal is not receiving well. In addition, if the reception signal-to-interference ratio of the terminal is large, it indicates that the reception state of the terminal is good, and thus the transmission power sent to the specific terminal is lowered, thereby reducing the amount of transmission power used by the base station. When the strength of the forward signal is adjusted by the above method, the power consumption of the terminal is also reduced, thereby increasing the usage time of the terminal. The power consumption of the terminal is also reduced, thereby increasing the usage time of the terminal.

Therefore, in the conventional code division multiple access system using a single carrier, a signal to noise ratio is used to cope with interference that may occur in a base station as shown in FIG. The transmission power transmitted to the terminal can be controlled by the above method.

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a structure of a receiver of a conventional mobile communication system terminal.

In the terminal of a code division multiple access system using a conventional single carrier, a forward signal strength adjustment is briefly described below. The signal received through the antenna 30 is down-converted through the duplexer 302 through a radio frequency (RF) receiver 30 and input to the multiplier 304. In this case, the multiplier 304 undergoes a multiplication with a PN signal generated by a pseudo random noise (PN) generator and a demodulation process using an orthogonal code. As shown, the multiplier 307, the accumulator 30, and the decoder 309 are for demodulating the actual received signal, and the multiplier 310, the accumulator 311, and the squarer 312 are used for noise. The multiplier 313, the accumulator 314, and the squarer 315 are for obtaining power of a signal. The signal to noise ratio is measured by the S / N measuring unit 31 as the signal and the noise power are obtained, and the transmission power of the base station is controlled by the comparison with the reference S / N value 330. Command 317 is issued.

However, the above-described method has a problem that is not applicable to a system using a multicarrier.

In order to accurately measure the signal-to-interference ratio, it is necessary to accurately measure the interference signal power. In particular, in a system having multiple carriers, such as a 3X MC (Multi Carrier) System (system using three carriers), the interference signal power may be different for each carrier because the influence of the channel is different for each carrier. However, as described above, the method of FIG. 1 is not applicable to a system in which a plurality of carriers exist.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for forward power control in a communication system using a plurality of carriers.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for increasing the capacity of a base station.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for accurately measuring the signal-to-interference ratio of a forward signal.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus and method for measuring signal-to-interference ratio by minimizing a circuit added in a code division multiple access system terminal using a multicarrier.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a device for forward power control in a mobile communication system using a multi-carrier, the PN despreading received signal for each carrier and each finger according to the I and Q channels An interference power measurement unit for measuring the interference power of the received signal by inverse Walsh conversion, and adding the interference powers measured for each carrier and each finger, and outputting the PN despread for each carrier and each finger A signal power measurement unit configured to measure signal power of a received signal by Walsh despreading the signal according to I and Q channels, and add and output signal power measured by each carrier and each finger; and the interference power measurement unit And calculating the signal-to-interference ratio according to the output signal of the signal power measurement unit and transmitting the signal to the base station by comparison with the reference signal-to-interference ratio. It characterized in that it comprises a signal-to-interference ratio computing unit for outputting a direction of power control data.

Specific details appear in the following description, which is provided to aid a more general understanding of the present invention, and it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. It will be self explanatory. In the following description of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3 is a control flowchart for performing a forward power control by measuring a signal-to-interference ratio in a terminal of a communication system using a multi-carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The embodiment according to the present invention basically relates to an apparatus and a method for measuring a signal-to-interference ratio in a terminal of a code division multiple access method using a multicarrier, and the measured signal-to-interference ratio can be used for forward power control.

Referring to Figure 2 describes the configuration according to an embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the embodiment according to the present invention is largely composed of the interference power measuring unit 100, the signal power measuring unit 200 and the signal-to-interference ratio calculating unit 300.

The interference power measuring unit 100 measures the interference power of the received signal by Walsh inversely converting the PN despreaded received signal for each carrier and each finger according to the I and Q channels, respectively, and each of the carrier and each finger. The interference power measured by each unit is added up and output.

The signal power measurement unit 200 measures the signal power of the received signal by Walsh despreading the PN despreaded received signal for each carrier and each finger according to the I and Q channels, and measures the respective carrier and each finger. The signal power measured by each unit is added up and output.

The signal-to-interference ratio calculating unit 300 calculates the signal-to-interference ratio according to the output signals of the interference power measuring unit 100 and the signal power measuring unit 200 and transmits data for transmission to the base station by comparison with the reference signal-to-interference ratio. Output

The detailed configuration of the interference power measuring unit 100 described above is as follows.

The I PN despreader 10 and the Q PN despreader 12 receive a signal obtained by converting an analog signal received through an antenna (not shown) into a digital signal and perform PN despreading for each of I and Q channels. The PN despread signal is input to the first pilot Walsh accumulator 14 and the second pilot Walsh accumulator 16. The first and second pilot Walsh accumulators 14 and 16 Walsh despread and output the PN despread I and Q channel signals. The despread signal is input directly to the first and second subtractors 22 and 24 or to the first and second delayers 18 and 20. The first and second delayers 18 and 20 delay the input signal by one symbol and are input to the first and second subtractors 22 and 24. The first and second subtractors 22 and 24 subtract the signals output from the first and second pilot Walsh accumulators 14 and 16 and the signals output from the first and second delayers 18 and 20. Output

In general, Walsh despreading and accumulation signals using the pilot channel Walsh code have the same value in two adjacent symbols. Because the signal of the pilot channel is unmodulated data, if there is no interference, theoretically there is no difference between the two symbols, so if the adjacent two symbols are subtracted and squared, "0" appears. However, in the general case of interference, if the value of two adjacent symbols is subtracted and squared, the value does not come out as "0". Therefore, this component can be used to determine the interference signal power of the currently received signal.

The signals output from the first and second subtractors 22 and 24 are input to the first calculator 26 to be squared for each channel and summed. That is, the operation as shown in the following equation is made.

The signal output from the first calculator is normalized by the averager 28 and output. That is, the average value of the predetermined section is output.

On the other hand, if the strength of the pilot signal is large, the interference is reduced, so that the accuracy of measuring the interference power is high, and even during actual demodulation, the signal of the finger whose strong strength of the pilot signal is strong is more referenced during demodulation and demodulated. Therefore, in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the signal output from the averager is multiplied (34) by the signal multiplied by the squared and summed (32) signal output from the pilot filter 30. As a result, the interference power signal of the finger having a strong pilot signal is referred to a lot, and the interference power signal of a finger having a weak pilot signal is referred to a little.

As described above, the average interference power weighted by the multiplier 34 is summed together with the other average interference power output for each carrier and each finger by the third adder.

The first and second Walsh accumulators 14 and 16, the first and second delayers 18 and 20, the first and second subtractors 22 and 24, the first calculator 26 and the averager described above. 28, the pilot filter 30, the second operator 32, and the multiplier 34 are provided for each finger and each carrier, and only one third summer 56 is present.

A detailed configuration of the signal power measuring unit 200 described above is as follows.

The I PN despreader 10 and the Q PN despreader 12 receive a signal obtained by converting an analog signal received through an antenna (not shown) into a digital signal and perform PN despreading for each of I and Q channels. Thereafter, the output signal is input to the first and second Walsh despreaders 36 and 38 to despread the call channel. That is, the first and second Walsh despreaders 36 and 38 become despreaders of the TRAFFIC CHANNEL. The call channel despread signal is input to the symbol demodulator 40. In this case, the signals output from the I PN despreader 10 and the Q PN despreader 12 are input to the pilot filter E0 as described in the interference power measurement unit, and the pilot filtering is performed to the symbol demodulator 40. . Accordingly, the symbol demodulator 40 demodulates the signals output from the first and second Walsh despreaders 36 and 38 by multiplying the channel compensation coefficients obtained by the pilot filter 30. That is, the weight is given to the signal power calculation as if the weight of the above-described interference power is added. This is the same as the reason mentioned above. The weighted demodulated signal is input to a POWER CONTROL BIT detector 42 to detect PC bits.

The reason why the PC Bit is used to measure the signal power is that it is accurate to measure the signal power using the PC Bit rather than the other Bit because the PC Bit always has a constant value even if the data rate changes.

The detected PC bits are converted into absolute values by the first and second converters 44 and 52 and output. The output signal is input to the first summer 48 and the second summer 50 and summed by I and Q. The summed signal is outputted by the combiner 52 by adding the output signals of the first and second summers. The signal output from the combiner 52 is squared by the squarer 54 and output.

In general, depending on the call state, the PC BIT may be transmitted through the I or Q channel or simultaneously loaded on the I and Q channels. For this reason, it is possible to give reliability to the signal power calculation by using both PC bits of the I and Q channels instead of using only the value of a specific channel.

Unlike the interference power measurement, the reason why the value converted to the absolute value is summed and squared by each carrier and finger is because the hardware configuration is complicated because the multiplier must be provided for each carrier and finger when performing the square beforehand. . In addition, unlike interference power, since only a specific bit is calculated, squared by a summation is possible, unlike interference power measurement, which is previously squared and averaged.

The configuration of the signal-to-interference ratio calculating unit 300 described above is as follows.

The SIR calculating unit 58 calculates and outputs an SIR value according to the signals output from the signal power measuring unit 200 and the interference power measuring unit 100. That is, it outputs by "signal power / interference power." The comparator 60 outputs a comparison value "0" or "1" by comparing the input signal-to-interference ratio value with the reference signal-to-interference ratio value. That is, if the measured signal-to-noise ratio is greater than the reference signal-to-noise ratio, "1" is output. If the measured signal-to-noise ratio is smaller than the reference signal-to-noise ratio, "0" is output.

The reference signal-to-interference ratio is varied according to the data error of the received data. That is, it is changed by the value by the cyclic redundancy check (CRC check: CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK) of the demodulated signal. If the error of the demodulated data is large, the reference signal-to-noise ratio value is set to a large value, and if the data error is small, the reference signal-to-noise ratio value is set to be small. On the other hand, if the reference signal-to-noise ratio is small, that is, the data error is small, the output signal is "1" even if the measured signal-to-noise ratio is low.

The output data is carried on the reverse pilot signal transmitted to the base station by the transmission modulator 62. That is to say, for forward power control.

An operation according to the configuration of FIG. 2 is briefly described as follows.

After the A / D (ANALOG / DIGITAL) conversion, the data of each carrier inputted in 4 bits is first despreaded in the I and Q PN despreaders 10 and 12, and then the pilot Walsh accumulator ( Pilot Channel Walsh Despreading and Accumulation in the Pilot Walsh Accumulation Block (14, 16). The pilot Walsh spreader and accumulated values in the pilot Walsh accumulators 14 and 16 are delayed by one symbol in the delay elements 18 and 20, and then the pilot Walsh accumulators 14 and 16 in the subtractors 22 and 24. It is subtracted from the output value of. The outputs of subtractors 22, 24 are squared and added 26 to output. The output value is filtered by the averager (IIR Interference FILTER: 28) and applied to the first input of the multiplier (34).

The outputs of the PN despreaders 10, 12 are also accumulated in a pilot filter (Pilot FILTER) 30 and then squared and added to each of the I and Q outputs in the adder 32 and at the same time a symbol demodulator. : 40) to use for symbol demodulation. The output of the operator 32 is multiplied by the output of the averager (IIR Interference Filter) 28 in the multiplier 34 to add a third summation that adds all the interference values calculated at each carrier and finger. It is input to the group (Summation over all carrier Finger Block: 56).

On the other hand, the output of the PN despreading block (10, 12) is the Walsh station for the communication channel (Traffic Channel) in the first Walsh despreader and the second Walsh despreading Accumulation Block (36, 38) After spreading and accumulation, the symbol demodulator 40 performs symbol demodulation using the output of the pilot filter 30 together. The output of the symbol demodulator 40 extracts a corresponding PC bit using a long code from a PC bit detector (PC BIT Extract using Long Code Block: 42) and takes an absolute value (44, 46). And signal power values of all PC bits calculated in each carrier and finger for each I and Q in the second over-sumer (Summation over all Carrier Finger Block: 48, 50) and then combined in a combiner (Combiner: 52). The output of the combiner 52 is squared in the squarer 54 to calculate the signal power, and then in the signal-to-interference ratio calculator 58 using the interference power that is the output of the third summer 56. The signal-to-interference ratio value is calculated. The signal-to-interference ratio calculated by the signal-to-interference ratio calculator (Calculation Block: 58) is compared with the reference signal-to-interference ratio (SIR_Threshold) by the comparator 60, and the result is input to the transmission modulator (TX_Modulator: 62) to the base station. Will be sent.

Referring to Figures 2 and 3 will be described the flow of operation according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, steps 310, 320, 330, and 340 and steps 311, 321, and 331 of FIG. 3 are performed at the same time, and any operation is not performed first.

In step 320, the average interference power is calculated through the averager 28. In this case, the calculated interval may be calculated in units of PCG to obtain an average.

In operation 330, the output value of the averager 28 is weighted by the finger by the multiplier 34 by the pilot filter 30 and the second operator 32.

The weighted value calculates the total interference power by summing signal powers output for each other carrier and finger by the third summer in step 340.

In step 311, the COMPLEX multiplexing is performed through the symbol demodulator 40 by a signal Walsh despread by the first and second Walsh despreaders 36 and 38 and a signal output from the pilot filter 30. You lose.

In step 321, the PC bit is detected by the PC BIT detector 42 in the signal output from the symbol demodulator 40.

In step 331, the detected PC bits are converted into absolute values by the transducers 44 and 46 provided for each carrier and finger. The values converted for each carrier and finger are summed by the first and second summers. The summed signal is calculated and output by the combiner 52 and the squarer 54 with the total power of the PC bits.

In step 350, the signal-to-power ratio calculation unit 58 calculates and outputs the signal-to-power ratio based on the measured signal power and the interference power.

In operation 360, the operation of comparing the signal-to-power ratio and the reference signal-to-power ratio calculated by the comparator 60 is performed to output data in steps 370 and 371.

Normally, the total output power of the base station is fixed. Therefore, by minimizing the power transmitted to each terminal by the present invention, the base station can lower the total transmission power. Therefore, it is possible to secure extra power that can be transmitted to other connected terminals, thereby increasing the capacity of the base station, and minimizing the added circuit by using the configuration of a call channel demodulator and a pilot channel demodulator provided in the existing finger. In addition, the interference power according to the pilot channel is measured, and the signal power is measured by the PC bit of the communication channel, thereby increasing the reliability of the signal-to-power ratio calculation. In addition, by measuring the signal-to-interference ratio in consideration of each carrier and each finger, it is possible to apply to a communication system using a multi-carrier. Furthermore, by weighting according to the strength of the pilot signal, it is possible to measure the signal-to-interference ratio in proportion to the contribution of each finger to the actual data demodulation. In addition, the concept of variable reference signal-to-noise ratio has been introduced so that it can be associated with actual data demodulation.
