Definitions

- FIG. 14 is a flow diagram illustrating operations performed between the base station and user equipment, according to some embodiments.
- a method to generate truncated Zadoff-Chu sequences modifies the existing methodology for generating truncated Zadoff-Chu sequences, with the result being an increased number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences for distribution in a wireless neighborhood.
- Zadoff-Chu sequences are described herein as being in conjunction with the transmission of reference signals to a base station by a wireless mobile device.
- the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method described herein may be used for other transmissions and should not, therefore, be construed as being limited to the reference signal application.
- the Zadoff-Chu function is a type of spreading function used in LTE to optimize signal transmissions through a wireless neighborhood.
- the Zadoff-Chu sequences are generated using the following formula:
- the truncated Zadoff-Chu generation method 100 modifies the existing Zadoff-Chu sequences used in the LTE environment to increase the number of reference signals that are available to be used in the wireless neighborhood.
- Reference signals are transmitted, in part, to estimate the transmission channel. So, suppose the channel is a 10 MHz channel and there are 48 resource blocks available for distribution to different users. Suppose also that the channel is populated by a single user and a single base station (known in LIE parlance as eNodeB).
- the LTE specification defines the following valid resource block sizes for sounding reference signals: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40 and 48.
- the single user may be allocated all 48 resource blocks, and could transmit in those allocations four resource blocks at a time, for a total of 12 transmissions, to the base station. This would be one way to cover the entire 10 MHz band.
- the user may send a single transmission using all 48 resource blocks.
- the user may send multiple transmissions using eight resource blocks at a time, twelve resource blocks at a time, and so on.
- the base station will allocate the 48 resource blocks to the users based on other criteria. Practically, the base station may allocate four resource blocks, eight resource blocks, and so on to a given user. Further, the base station determines which of the 48 resource blocks to allocate to the user, based on reference signals periodically received from the user. The user may send the reference signals at different frequency sub-bands within the 10 MHz band, because, initially, neither the base station nor the user knows which frequency sub-band is optimal for transmission for that user.
- the reference signal itself is a signal known to the base station.
- the received signal includes not just the reference signal, but additional channel characteristics. From this received signal, the base station is thus able to do channel estimation.
- the number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences equals one less than the prime number that is used in its generation.
- the prime number used in Zadoff-Chu sequence generation is the largest prime number less than or equal to the length of the sequence.
- the smallest resource block size is three resource blocks. Each resource block has twelve subcarriers, so the smallest resource block size would have 36 subcarriers. One less than the largest prime number less than or equal to the length of the sequence is thus 30.
- thirty sequences are available for a resource block sire of three.
- FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 , according to some embodiments.
- the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 increases the number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences, by starting with a larger resource block sire.
- the method 100 assumes that 48 resource blocks, or 576 subcarriers, are to be used for transmissions.
- the largest prime number less than or equal to 576 is 571.
- One less than 571 is 570. Therefore, according to the method 100 , the total number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences increases front 30 to 570, denoted ZC 1 -ZC 570 .
- the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 thus takes a resource block of size 48 and generates 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 .
- X i (u) is the Zadoff-Chu sequence, with root sequence u and 1 ⁇ i ⁇ 576.
- a resource block of size smaller than 48 resource blocks is needed (which characterizes many if not most transmissions)
- a smaller set of Zadoff-Chu sequences is also needed.
- the 48-resource block Zadoff-Chu sequence is truncated to the desired size.
- the Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 takes a Zadoff-Chu sequence, X(u), having 571 subcarriers, and truncates the Zadoff-Chu sequence to a sequence of size 36: X j (u), . . . , X j+36 (u), where 1 ⁇ j ⁇ 535 (the upper limit on j ensures that the 36 selected subcarriers are within the 571 available subcarriers of the Zadoff-Chu sequence).
- PAPR low peak-to-average power ratio
- FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram schematically depicting a 10 MHz channel 26 divided into 48 resource blocks 22 , according to some embodiments.
- two of the resource blocks are dedicated to control channels.
- the 10 MHz channel has 48 resource blocks dedicated to data subcarriers.
- Each resource block 22 has twelve subcarriers 24 , indicated as upward facing arrows.
- the 10 MHz channel 26 is allocated 48 ⁇ 12, or 576 subcarriers.
- LTE supports several different channel bandwidths, with the wider bandwidths having greater channel capacity.
- LTE supports channel bandwidths of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz.
- the number of resource blocks varies with the channel bandwidth.
- a 10 MHz bandwidth is used.
- the principles described herein may readily be applied to other channel bandwidths.
- each sequence has the 571 subcarriers of the 10 MHz channel available.
- the 571 subcarriers are then cyclically extended to 576 subcarriers. Because of this extension, the resulting sequences are said to be quasi-orthogonal rather than completely orthogonal.
- the resource block size of the user will determine how many subcarriers are used to send the Zadoff-Chu sequence for that user.
- FIG. 3 shows a wireless neighborhood 50 having 57 sectors, according to the prior art.
- Each hexagon represents a cellular region 30 consisting of a base station 90 (not shown) serving three sectors 40 A, 40 B, and 40 C (collectively, sectors 40 ).
- the wireless neighborhood 50 is a cellular network consisting of nineteen cellular regions 30 , each cellular region containing three sectors 40 .
- Each sector 40 includes a two-part number. The first part indicates the base station 90 and the second part indicates the sector 40 being served by the base station.
- a cellular region 30 at the center of the wireless neighborhood 50 is a cellular region 30 ), with three sectors 40 , denoted “1.0”. “1.1”, and “1.2”, which means. “base station 1 services sectors 0, 1, and 2”.
- An adjacent cellular region 30 denoted “3.6”, “3.7”, and “3.8”, indicates, “base station 3 services sectors 6, 7, and 8”, and so on, until all 57 sectors 40 have been assigned to a base station.
- the nineteenth cellular region denoted “19.54”, “19.55”, and “19.56” indicates, “base station 19 services sectors 54, 55, and 56”.
- the cellular regions 30 of the prior art wireless neighborhood 50 are color-coded to denote how the Zadoff-Chu sequences may be practically allocated so as to avoid interference.
- base stations 6, 8, and 11 each have a yellowish/whitish cellular region 30 , and each is allocated the same three Zadoff-Chu sequences, one for each of its three sectors.
- base station 6 allocates the same Zadoff-Chu sequence for its sector 15 as does base station 8 for its sector 21, which is also the same Zadoff-Chu sequence allocated by base station 11 for its sector 30 (all three sectors featuring a light yellow color in FIG. 3 ).
- Base station 6 allocates a different Zadoff-Chu sequence for its sector 16 (darker yellow) than for its sector 15, but that same Zadoff-Chu sequence is going to be reused by the base station 8 for its sector 22 and by the base station 11 for its sector 31. Note that this is just an example of deployment in the prior art. Other examples may have different arrangements of Zadoff-Chu sequences, but nonetheless bear the same limitation of availability of only thirty Zadoff-Chu sequences per LTE specification when the index of the base sequence selection is set to zero.
- each base station will need to service multiple users within each of its three allocated sectors 40 . It is not difficult to imagine, for example, each base station servicing thirty users simultaneously, ten in each of its three sectors.
- the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 solves the above problem by generating 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 , with each ZC sequence having all subcarriers of the wireless channel available for transmission. For transmissions that are smaller than all 48 resource blocks 22 (most transmissions), the ZC sequence 60 is truncated, as needed, and the base stations within the wireless neighborhood 50 do not have to reuse Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 that are assigned to nearby base stations.
- FIG. 4 shows a wireless neighborhood 50 A, according to some embodiments.
- the wireless neighborhood 50 A features nineteen cellular regions 30 , each cellular region having three sectors 40 , for a total of 57 sectors.
- this enhanced wireless neighborhood 50 A there is no reuse of Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 .
- each sector 40 of each cellular region 30 represented by a unique color, is assigned its own set of Zadoff-Chu sequences.
- FIG. 5 shows one possible assignment of the 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences among the 57 sectors, according to some embodiments.
- each sector is receiving 10 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 .
- the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 appear to be allocated “in order”, with sector 0 receiving the first ten Zadoff-Chu sequences, sector 1 receiving the second ten Zadoff-Chu sequences, and so on, the figure is merely illustrative, as the distribution of Zadoff-Chu sequences may assume many different arrangements.
- the distribution of the new Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 is determined either by agreement between the base stations or by a network backbone entity.
- each sector is indicated using a unique color.
- FIG. 6 is a simplified diagram of one cellular region 30 , serviced by base station 3, sectors 6, 7, and 8.
- a single UE entity 80 is shown being serviced by a base station 90 .
- the UE 80 may be a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant, or any other device having wireless capability to communicate with the base station 90 .
- Sector 6 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC 61 -ZC 70
- sector 7 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC 71 -ZC 80
- sector 8 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC 81 -ZC 90 .
- the Zadoff-Chu sequences may be distributed differently than is shown.
- FIG. 7 is a simplified drawing of the cellular region 30 , according to some embodiments in which the cellular region consists of a single sector, sector 7, which is serviced by base station 3, of the wireless neighborhood 50 A of FIG. 4 .
- Sector 7 includes UE entities 80 , such as mobile phones, laptop computers, and so on, denoted UE 1 -UE 12 .
- Each of the twelve UEs uses the first of ten Zadoff-Chu sequences allocated to that sector ( FIG. 6 ), denoted ZC 71 , one of ten Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 that was assigned to sector 7 of the third cellular region 30 ( FIG. 6 ).
- each UE 80 is using a different set of the 48 resource blocks that are available for communicating over the 10 MHz channel 26 with the base station 90 .
- the resource block size is determined by the base station 90 , and is based on a number of factors, such as the power capability of the UE, the distance of the LTE from the base station, and other factors. In this example, the UEs conform to the LTE specification, which also specifies valid resource block sizes.
- the first six UEs 80 , UE 1 -UE 6 use all of the 48 resource blocks 22 .
- the assignment of resource blocks may also include cyclic shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences.
- a sequence is cyclic shifted when there is a translation (usually, a rotation) of the arrangement of the sequence elements in the time domain.
- a translation usually, a rotation
- Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 have the property of quasi-orthogonality, UEs using a set of resource blocks will not interfere with UEs using the cyclic-shifted version of the Zadoff-chu sequences 60 .
- FIG. 7 is hut one of several allocations by the base station 90 ) of the resource blocks among mobile devices UE 1 -UE 12 . Further, the resource block assignment may not be contiguous (and the subcarrier allocation within resource blocks may be distributed or contiguous). FIG. 7 is merely illustrative of how many UEs may be serviced by the 48 resource blocks using a single Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 . The particular arrangement of the resource blocks 22 by the base station 90 is beyond the scope of this disclosure.
- the twelve UEs 80 of FIG. 7 are capable of using a single Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 (ZC 71 ) and the resource block assignment shown, in some embodiments. Because the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 generates the 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 with the desired properties of good cross-correlation between all sequences and cyclic shifted sequences, improved channel estimation performance, and low PAPR, the likelihod of interference taking place between the UEs is quite low, in some embodiments. Thus, the base station 90 that is servicing sector 7 of the wireless neighborhood 50 A is successfully able to receive reference signals (or other signals) with much less interference compared to the prior art deployment.
- the third base station 90 and sector 7 are assigned ten Zadoff-Chu sequences, ZC 71 -Z 80 .
- ZC 71 -Z 80 there are up to eight cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences available, according to the current LTE spec.
- the cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences enable simultaneous transmission from different antennas, such as when the user equipment 80 and base station 90 each have multiple antennas.
- Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 , ZC 71 , . . . , Z 80 a first set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZC C 71 , . . . , ZC C 80
- a second set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZC C2 71 , . . .
- a third set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZC C3 71 , . . . , ZC C3 80 , and so on, up to eight times.
- ZC C3 71 a third set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60
- ZC C3 80 a third set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60
- ZC C3 71 cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60
- the principles described herein may be applied to different channel widths.
- the LTE specification supports several different channel widths, any one of which may use the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method 100 described herein.
- the UEs 80 within the sector 40 are assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 with different resource blocks 22 and/or different cyclic-shifted values, successful transmissions of reference signals from the UEs are possible.

Abstract
A method to generate truncated Zadoff-Chu sequences is disclosed. A large Zadoff-Chu sequence is generated, based on a maximum transmission bandwidth, then the sequence is truncated based on the actual transmission bandwidth. The Zadoff-Chu sequence is cyclicly extended, as needed, to maintain a quasi-orthogonal characteristic. The result is that there is an increased number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences for distribution in a wireless neighborhood and the rate of interference is reduced.
Description
- This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/523,080, filed on Aug. 12, 2011.
- This application relates to Zadoff-Chu sequences and, more particularly, to a method to increase the number of reference signals.
- BACKGROUND
- A Zadoff-Chu sequence is a mathematical sequence that is applied to radio signals to improve the properties of the radio signals as they are transmitted through the air in a wireless neighborhood. The Zadoff-Chu sequences are complex numbers, each one having a real portion and an imaginary portion. Orthogonality is one of the desired characteristics of radio signals coupled with Zadoff-Chu sequences. Such radio signals are considered less likely to cause interference in the wireless neighborhood.
- Other characteristics also make radio signals coupled with Zadoff-Chu sequences desirable. Zadoff-Chu sequences have good auto-correlation properties and can be searched for in both the time and frequency domains. All Zadoff-Chu points have a constant amplitude of one.
- Despite these characteristics, the number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences limits the number of entities that may use the sequences in the wireless neighborhood.
- Thus, there is a continuing need for a method to use Zadoff-Chu sequences that overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art.
- The foregoing aspects and many of the attendant advantages of this document will become more readily appreciated as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description, when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the various views, unless otherwise specified.

FIG. 14 is a flow diagram illustrating operations performed between the base station and user equipment, according to some embodiments. - In accordance with the embodiments described herein, a method to generate truncated Zadoff-Chu sequences is disclosed. The method modifies the existing methodology for generating truncated Zadoff-Chu sequences, with the result being an increased number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences for distribution in a wireless neighborhood.
- In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which show by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the subject matter described herein may be practiced. However, it is to be understood that other embodiments will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading this disclosure.
- For simplicity, in describing the truncated Zadoff-Chu generation method herein, reference is made to the long-term evolution, or LTE, standard, (also known as the 3rd generation partnership project, or 3GPP), which is known to employ Zadoff-Chu sequences for several applications. However, it is to be understood that the truncated Zadoff-Chu generation method may be employed with other wireless standards. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be construed in a limiting sense, as the scope of the subject matter is defined by the claims.
- Further, the Zadoff-Chu sequences are described herein as being in conjunction with the transmission of reference signals to a base station by a wireless mobile device. However, the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence generation method described herein may be used for other transmissions and should not, therefore, be construed as being limited to the reference signal application.
- The Zadoff-Chu function is a type of spreading function used in LTE to optimize signal transmissions through a wireless neighborhood. The Zadoff-Chu sequences are generated using the following formula:
-
- for 0≦n≦NZC−1 and NZC=the length of the sequence. In some embodiments, the truncated Zadoff-
Chu generation method 100 modifies the existing Zadoff-Chu sequences used in the LTE environment to increase the number of reference signals that are available to be used in the wireless neighborhood. - Reference signals are transmitted, in part, to estimate the transmission channel. So, suppose the channel is a 10 MHz channel and there are 48 resource blocks available for distribution to different users. Suppose also that the channel is populated by a single user and a single base station (known in LIE parlance as eNodeB). The LTE specification defines the following valid resource block sizes for sounding reference signals: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 36, 40 and 48. Thus, the single user may be allocated all 48 resource blocks, and could transmit in those allocations four resource blocks at a time, for a total of 12 transmissions, to the base station. This would be one way to cover the entire 10 MHz band. Or, the user may send a single transmission using all 48 resource blocks. Or, the user may send multiple transmissions using eight resource blocks at a time, twelve resource blocks at a time, and so on.
- It is likely that the wireless neighborhood will have more than one user, so the base station will allocate the 48 resource blocks to the users based on other criteria. Practically, the base station may allocate four resource blocks, eight resource blocks, and so on to a given user. Further, the base station determines which of the 48 resource blocks to allocate to the user, based on reference signals periodically received from the user. The user may send the reference signals at different frequency sub-bands within the 10 MHz band, because, initially, neither the base station nor the user knows which frequency sub-band is optimal for transmission for that user.
- The reference signal itself is a signal known to the base station. When the user periodically transmits the reference signal to the base station, the received signal includes not just the reference signal, but additional channel characteristics. From this received signal, the base station is thus able to do channel estimation.
- The number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences equals one less than the prime number that is used in its generation. The prime number used in Zadoff-Chu sequence generation is the largest prime number less than or equal to the length of the sequence. In the current 3GPP LTE standard, the smallest resource block size is three resource blocks. Each resource block has twelve subcarriers, so the smallest resource block size would have 36 subcarriers. One less than the largest prime number less than or equal to the length of the sequence is thus 30. Thus, according to the traditional rule for generating Zadoff-Chu sequences, thirty sequences are available for a resource block sire of three.
-
FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, according to some embodiments. The truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, by contrast with the prior art, increases the number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences, by starting with a larger resource block sire. In some embodiments, themethod 100 assumes that 48 resource blocks, or 576 subcarriers, are to be used for transmissions. The largest prime number less than or equal to 576 is 571. One less than 571 is 570. Therefore, according to themethod 100, the total number of available Zadoff-Chu sequences increasesfront 30 to 570, denoted ZC1-ZC570. The truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 thus takes a resource block ofsize 48 and generates 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60. - Assume Xi(u) is the Zadoff-Chu sequence, with root sequence u and 1≦i≦576. In some embodiments, when a resource block of size smaller than 48 resource blocks is needed (which characterizes many if not most transmissions), a smaller set of Zadoff-Chu sequences is also needed. In this circumstance, the 48-resource block Zadoff-Chu sequence is truncated to the desired size.
- For example, to generate a Zadoff-Chu sequence for a resource block of size three, the Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100 takes a Zadoff-Chu sequence, X(u), having 571 subcarriers, and truncates the Zadoff-Chu sequence to a sequence of size 36: Xj(u), . . . , Xj+36(u), where 1≦j≦535 (the upper limit on j ensures that the 36 selected subcarriers are within the 571 available subcarriers of the Zadoff-Chu sequence). - In some embodiments, to ensure that the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence is good, the following properties are maintained:
- good cross-correlation between all sequences and cyclic shifted sequences (
FIG. 8 ) - improved channel estimation performance
- low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR)
-
FIG. 2 is a simplified block diagram schematically depicting a 10MHz channel 26 divided into 48 resource blocks 22, according to some embodiments. In fact, there are fifty resource blocks assigned to a 10 MHz channel under LTE. However, two of the resource blocks are dedicated to control channels. Thus, for purposes of this discussion, the 10 MHz channel has 48 resource blocks dedicated to data subcarriers. Eachresource block 22 has twelvesubcarriers 24, indicated as upward facing arrows. Thus, the 10MHz channel 26 is allocated 48×12, or 576 subcarriers. - The LTE specification supports several different channel bandwidths, with the wider bandwidths having greater channel capacity. LTE supports channel bandwidths of 1.4 MHz, 3 MHz, 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 15 MHz, and 20 MHz. The number of resource blocks varies with the channel bandwidth. In illustrating the truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100, a 10 MHz bandwidth is used. However, the principles described herein may readily be applied to other channel bandwidths. - When the 570 Zadoff-
Chu sequences 60 are generated by the method 100 (FIG. 1 ), each sequence has the 571 subcarriers of the 10 MHz channel available. The 571 subcarriers are then cyclically extended to 576 subcarriers. Because of this extension, the resulting sequences are said to be quasi-orthogonal rather than completely orthogonal. When distributing a Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 to a user (known as user equipment, or UE, in LTE parlance), the resource block size of the user will determine how many subcarriers are used to send the Zadoff-Chu sequence for that user. -
FIG. 3 shows awireless neighborhood 50 having 57 sectors, according to the prior art. Each hexagon represents acellular region 30 consisting of a base station 90 (not shown) serving threesectors wireless neighborhood 50 is a cellular network consisting of nineteencellular regions 30, each cellular region containing three sectors 40. Each sector 40) includes a two-part number. The first part indicates thebase station 90 and the second part indicates the sector 40 being served by the base station. - Thus, for example, at the center of the
wireless neighborhood 50 is a cellular region 30), with three sectors 40, denoted “1.0”. “1.1”, and “1.2”, which means. “base station 1services sectors cellular region 30 to its left, denoted “2.3”, “2.4”, and “2.5”, indicates, “base station 2services sectors cellular region 30, denoted “3.6”, “3.7”, and “3.8”, indicates, “base station 3services sectors base station 19services sectors 54, 55, and 56”. - With the limited number of Zadoff-Chu sequences available under the 3GPP/LTE standard, the
cellular regions 30 of the priorart wireless neighborhood 50 are color-coded to denote how the Zadoff-Chu sequences may be practically allocated so as to avoid interference. Thus, the arrangement ofFIG. 3 ,base stations cellular region 30, and each is allocated the same three Zadoff-Chu sequences, one for each of its three sectors. Thus,base station 6 allocates the same Zadoff-Chu sequence for itssector 15 as doesbase station 8 for its sector 21, which is also the same Zadoff-Chu sequence allocated bybase station 11 for its sector 30 (all three sectors featuring a light yellow color inFIG. 3 ).Base station 6 allocates a different Zadoff-Chu sequence for its sector 16 (darker yellow) than for itssector 15, but that same Zadoff-Chu sequence is going to be reused by thebase station 8 for itssector 22 and by thebase station 11 for its sector 31. Note that this is just an example of deployment in the prior art. Other examples may have different arrangements of Zadoff-Chu sequences, but nonetheless bear the same limitation of availability of only thirty Zadoff-Chu sequences per LTE specification when the index of the base sequence selection is set to zero. - Other base stations in the
wireless neighborhood 50 similarly share the limited available Zadoff-Chu sequences, as indicated by the color-coding inFIG. 3 . With the limited sequences available, reuse of the Zadoff-Chu sequences is needed to service all 57 sectors. The allocation is done so as to spread the shared Zadoff-Chu sequences as far apart as possible, so as to minimize the chance of interference. Nevertheless, interference may still occur. - Further, with the popularity of wireless technology, it is likely that each base station will need to service multiple users within each of its three allocated sectors 40. It is not difficult to imagine, for example, each base station servicing thirty users simultaneously, ten in each of its three sectors.
- In some embodiments, the truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100 solves the above problem by generating 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60, with each ZC sequence having all subcarriers of the wireless channel available for transmission. For transmissions that are smaller than all 48 resource blocks 22 (most transmissions), theZC sequence 60 is truncated, as needed, and the base stations within thewireless neighborhood 50 do not have to reuse Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 that are assigned to nearby base stations. -
FIG. 4 shows awireless neighborhood 50A, according to some embodiments. Like thewireless neighborhood 50 of the prior art (FIG. 3 ), thewireless neighborhood 50A features nineteencellular regions 30, each cellular region having three sectors 40, for a total of 57 sectors. In thisenhanced wireless neighborhood 50A, however, there is no reuse of Zadoff-Chu sequences 60. Instead, each sector 40 of eachcellular region 30, represented by a unique color, is assigned its own set of Zadoff-Chu sequences. -
FIG. 5 shows one possible assignment of the 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences among the 57 sectors, according to some embodiments. InFIG. 5 , each sector is receiving 10 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60. Although the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 appear to be allocated “in order”, withsector 0 receiving the first ten Zadoff-Chu sequences,sector 1 receiving the second ten Zadoff-Chu sequences, and so on, the figure is merely illustrative, as the distribution of Zadoff-Chu sequences may assume many different arrangements. The distribution of the new Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 is determined either by agreement between the base stations or by a network backbone entity. InFIG. 5 , as inFIG. 4 , each sector is indicated using a unique color. -
FIG. 6 is a simplified diagram of onecellular region 30, serviced bybase station 3,sectors single UE entity 80 is shown being serviced by abase station 90. TheUE 80 may be a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a personal digital assistant, or any other device having wireless capability to communicate with thebase station 90.Sector 6 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC61-ZC70,sector 7 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC71-ZC80, andsector 8 is assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences ZC81-ZC90. Again, the Zadoff-Chu sequences may be distributed differently than is shown. -
FIG. 7 is a simplified drawing of thecellular region 30, according to some embodiments in which the cellular region consists of a single sector,sector 7, which is serviced bybase station 3, of thewireless neighborhood 50A ofFIG. 4 .Sector 7 includesUE entities 80, such as mobile phones, laptop computers, and so on, denoted UE1-UE12. Each of the twelve UEs uses the first of ten Zadoff-Chu sequences allocated to that sector (FIG. 6 ), denoted ZC71, one of ten Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 that was assigned tosector 7 of the third cellular region 30 (FIG. 6 ). However, eachUE 80 is using a different set of the 48 resource blocks that are available for communicating over the 10MHz channel 26 with thebase station 90. - Some of the
UEs 80 employ fourresource blocks 22, while others use eight and twelve resource blocks. The resource block size is determined by thebase station 90, and is based on a number of factors, such as the power capability of the UE, the distance of the LTE from the base station, and other factors. In this example, the UEs conform to the LTE specification, which also specifies valid resource block sizes. - The first six
UEs 80, UE1-UE6, use all of the 48 resource blocks 22. The assignment of resource blocks may also include cyclic shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences. As used herein, a sequence is cyclic shifted when there is a translation (usually, a rotation) of the arrangement of the sequence elements in the time domain. Thus, for example, suppose a sequence has elements, a, b, c, and d, denoted, seq {a, h, c, d}. Following a cyclic shift, the sequence becomes {b, c, d, a}, then, {c, d, a, b}, and finally, {d, a, h, c} before returning to its original arrangement, {a, h, c, d}. One of the properties of a Zadoff-Chu sequence is that, when cyclic-shifted, the resulting sequence is orthogonal to the original Zadoff-Chu sequence. The remainingUEs 80, UE7-UE12, utilize a cyclic-shifted version of the Zakdoff-chu sequences, denoted ZCC N, for integer N. Because the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 have the property of quasi-orthogonality, UEs using a set of resource blocks will not interfere with UEs using the cyclic-shifted version of the Zadoff-chu sequences 60. -
FIG. 7 is hut one of several allocations by the base station 90) of the resource blocks among mobile devices UE1-UE12. Further, the resource block assignment may not be contiguous (and the subcarrier allocation within resource blocks may be distributed or contiguous).FIG. 7 is merely illustrative of how many UEs may be serviced by the 48 resource blocks using a single Zadoff-Chu sequence 60. The particular arrangement of the resource blocks 22 by thebase station 90 is beyond the scope of this disclosure. - The twelve
UEs 80 ofFIG. 7 are capable of using a single Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 (ZC71) and the resource block assignment shown, in some embodiments. Because the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 generates the 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 with the desired properties of good cross-correlation between all sequences and cyclic shifted sequences, improved channel estimation performance, and low PAPR, the likelihod of interference taking place between the UEs is quite low, in some embodiments. Thus, thebase station 90 that is servicingsector 7 of thewireless neighborhood 50A is successfully able to receive reference signals (or other signals) with much less interference compared to the prior art deployment. - Recall from
FIG. 6 , however, that thethird base station 90 andsector 7 are assigned ten Zadoff-Chu sequences, ZC71-Z80. For each generated sequence, there are up to eight cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences available, according to the current LTE spec. In some embodiments, the cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences enable simultaneous transmission from different antennas, such as when theuser equipment 80 andbase station 90 each have multiple antennas. - Therefore, on the top of the ten sequences available per section, eight cyclic shifts per Zadoff-Chu sequence may be made. Thus, in addition to the ten Zadoff-
Chu sequences 60, ZC71, . . . , Z80 being available, a first set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZCC 71, . . . , ZCC 80, a second set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZCC2 71, . . . , ZCC2 80, a third set of cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 would be available, denoted ZCC3 71, . . . , ZCC3 80, and so on, up to eight times. Thus, for a single sector in thecellular region 30, up to ninety unique Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 are available, with each of these unique sequences being quasi-orthogonal. Thus,UEs 80 occupying the sector are able to operate without interference, in some embodiments, using the unique Zadoff-Chu sequences. - The principles described herein may be applied to different channel widths. For example, the LTE specification supports several different channel widths, any one of which may use the truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100 described herein. As long as theUEs 80 within the sector 40 are assigned Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 with different resource blocks 22 and/or different cyclic-shifted values, successful transmissions of reference signals from the UEs are possible. -
FIG. 8 is agraph 210 plotting the cross-correlation versus the cumulative distribution function of a transmission using the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 generated by the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, according to some embodiments.FIG. 8 shows that, within 95% of all possible pairs of the new truncated sequences, cross-correlation is less than 0.135. This indicates that the truncated sequences generated by themethod 100 maintain the desired low cross-correlation properties of existing Zadoff-Chu sequences. -
FIG. 9 is agraph 220 plotting the signal to interference plus noise (SINR) ratio against the mean of the normalized mean square channel estimation error (NMSE) between an original set of Zadoff-Chu sequences and the truncated sequences generated by the Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, for a fixed bandwidth of eight resource blocks over 57 sectors, according to some embodiments. NMSE is a known metric used in channel estimation. Thegraph 220 shows the original sequence plotted in green and the truncated sequence plotted in red. An average of a 3 dB gain is observed, in some embodiments. -
FIG. 10 is agraph 230 plotting SINR against the mean of the NMSE of an original Zadoff-Chu sequence versus a truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence, with the latter being generated by the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, according to some embodiments. Since base stations assign different bandwidths to the reference signal transmission of each UE device, for this plot, a scenario in which a random bandwidth is selected for each sector is simulated. The graph inFIG. 9 shows only the NMSFE for eight resource block sequences. The graph inFIG. 10 shows variable bandwidth selection, i.e., 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 48 resource blocks. A 2 dB gain is observed in some embodiments. -
FIG. 11 is agraph 240 plotting the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of both an original Zadoff-Chu sequence and a truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence, with the latter being generated by the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, according to some embodiments. After the 570 Zadoff-Chu sequences are generated, the PAPR of each is calculated, and those having a PAPR above 6.5 dB are removed. In thegraph 240, 72 Zadoff-Chu sequences are removed, leaving 498 to be plotted inFIG. 11 . A 0.2 dB loss is observed at the 10−1 point for the new truncated sequences after removing the sequences that have a PAPR of greater than 6.5 dB, in some embodiments. About 12.6% of the total sequences are removed. - The truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100 is thus useful for the transmission of reference signals, and is also suitable for uplink random access procedures. Compared to the original Zadoff-Chu sequences, nineteen times more sequences are available using the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100, in some embodiments. Experiments show good cross-correlation among all possible pairs of sequences. A two- to three-dB gain in NMSE channel estimation performance is observed in expense of a 0.2 dB loss in PAPR. Overall, this scheme increases the number of available sequences without forfeiting performance. In some embodiments, the Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 is well-suited for future (fourth and fifth generation) heterogeneous networks (HetNet). - Currently, the LTE specification defines, at most, sixty sequences available in two groups of thirty sequences. To compensate for performance loss due to interference generated by reuse of sequences, LTE defines complicated sequence and group hopping, which are avoided when using the truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100, in some embodiments. - In some embodiments, the truncated Zadoff-Chu
sequence generation method 100 is implemented in thebase station 90 receiver equipment as well as in theuser equipment 80.FIG. 12 is a simplified block diagram of thebase station 90 ofFIG. 1 . Thebase station 90 includes amemory 180 in which the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 is stored, and aprocessor 160 for executing the method. In some embodiments, the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 is implemented in software. Thebase station 90 may further include a lookup table 170 for storing the Zadoff-Chu sequences. Atransceiver 190 is coupled to one ormore antennas 150. The transceiver performs both transmit and receive operations on behalf of thebase station 90, and may include a power amplifier, a digital-to-analog converter, an analog-to-digital converter, a variable gain amplifier, and a low noise amplifier, to name just a few components. Similarly, theuser equipment 80 includes amemory 280 in which the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 is stored, and aprocessor 260 for executing the method. Theuser equipment 80 may further include a lookup table 270 for storing the sequences. Theuser equipment 80 also includes atransceiver 290 and one ormore antennas 250. -
FIG. 13 is a flow diagram illustrating operations performed by the truncated Zadoff-Chusequence generation method 100 ofFIG. 1 , according to some embodiments. The transmit portion of theuser equipment 80 and the receive portion of thebase stations 90 in thewireless neighborhood 50 will perform the operations ofFIG. 13 . The maximum channel bandwidth, and its corresponding maximum resource block size and the number of subcarriers per resource block are known to the base station 90 (and/or the UE 80) a priori via an association procedure. While the ahove examples assume a 10 MHz channel, other channel bandwidths may be employed. The base station 90) determines the largest prime number smaller than the maximum number of subcarriers for a given channel bandwidth (block 102). Based on the prime number, the Zadoff-Chu sequences are generated (block 104). - Once the Zadoff-Chu sequences are generated, the
method 100 removes sequences in which the PAPR doesn't meet a required threshold. For example, as shown inFIG. 11 , if threshold is set to 6.5 dB, then 72 of sequences have PAPR above 6.5 dB and they are removed from the pool of available sequences. Thus, of the generated sequences, a Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 is selected (block 106). If the PAPR of the selected Zadoff-Chu sequence exceeds the predetermined threshold (block 108), then the sequence is discarded from the group (block 110). This query is repeated for all Zadoff-Chu sequences (block 112), until all sequences have been evaluated with respect to their PAPR. Of the undiscarded Zadoff-Chu sequences 60, themethod 100 then generates cyclic shifted sequences of the Zadoff-Chu sequences (block 114). In some embodiments, the undiscarded Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 and the cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences are stored in one or more lookup tables 170, 270. - In some embodiments, the generation of the Zadoff-Chu sequences 6), the removal of the Zadoff-Chu sequences having high PAPR, and the cyclic-shifting of the Zadoff-Chu sequences are performed as separate and distinct operations, with each iteration being stored in a lookup table, in some embodiments. Thus, for example, the lookup tables 170 and 270 (
FIG. 12 ) may each store three different tables of Zadoff-Chu information. Note that the required PAPR of the Zadoff-Chu sequence and hence the desired threshold value are determined by other factors, and are defined in the LTE specification. An exact value of the threshold is beyond the scope of this disclosure. - The actual assignment of Zadoff-Chu sequences to
particular base stations 90 in thewireless neighborhood 50 are done separately via control channels and are beyond the scope of this disclosure. -
FIG. 14 is a block diagram illustrating operations performed by theuser equipment 80, according to some embodiments. Thebase station 90 tells theuser equipment 80 which Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 (or which cyclic-shifted Zadoff-Chu sequences) to use (block 122), as well as the resource block assignment for that user (block 124). In some embodiments, the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 are generated in theuser equipment 80, as described above (FIG. 13 ) (block 128). In other embodiments, theuser equipment 80 retrieves the Zadoff-Chu sequences 60 from one or more lookup tables 270 (block 130). In either case, theuser equipment 80 truncates the assigned Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 (from step 122) to match the resource block assignment (from step 124) (blocks 128 or 130). Once obtained, theuser equipment 80 transmits the signal coupled with the truncated Zadoff-Chu sequence 60 (block 132). The signal may be a reference signal or other type of signal. - While the application has been described with respect to a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate numerous modifications and variations there from. It is intended that the appended claims cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the true spirit and scope of the invention.
