Description

The no inclined to one side signal interference ratio of use in Poewr control method estimated
Technical field
The present invention relates to field of wireless communications systems, relate in particular to a kind of improving one's methods of estimation signal interference ratio (SIR) that no inclined to one side SIR estimates that provide.Not having inclined to one side SIR estimates for example can be used in the uplink power control method in the W-CDMA system.
Background technology
It is very important that the interference that exists in institute's wire/wireless communication system is remained on alap level.Excessive interference can reduce communication quality, perhaps in the worst case, can interrupt an ongoing communication.Have some kinds of methods to manage control and disturb, power control is one of important means that tackles it.
The capacity of CDMA (code division multiple access) system is interference-limited, also do not lie in the time because the isolation of channel has both lain in frequency, but isolate by sign indicating number, and cochannel disturbs very strong.Consider that a plurality of users share same frequency range, other user's signal becomes interference signal and reduces a specific user communication quality thus, and therefore control is disturbed particularly important in cdma system.
In addition, when base station during simultaneously with near-end and far-end mobile communications, the high level that its receives from the near-end travelling carriage transmits, and receives transmitting from the much lower level of far-end travelling carriage.In addition, transmit and reduced by the rapid fading wireless channel.Like this, a problem appears in the communication between base station and the far-end travelling carriage: channel quality is reduced tempestuously by interference and the rapid fading from the near-end travelling carriage.Transmitting power control (TPC) is used to one of technology that solves fading problem.TPC controls transmitting power so that no matter the position of travelling carriage where, the received power of the travelling carriage that is used to receive or SIR (signal interference plus noise power than) remain on a constant level.
In order to have a correct Poewr control method of adjusting travelling carriage power, importantly want accurately to estimate sir value.Especially, importantly the sir measurement value is linear, so that the power command that sends from the base station accurately reflects the suitable adjustment of true input signal strength.Under the situation of non-linear estimations, the base station can provide the power level adjustment that has a little relation with true incoming signal level.
People's such as Tomohiro Dohi US 6,034,952 has described a kind of presently used method that is used to estimate sir value.
" SIR-based Transmit Power Controlof Reverse Link for coherent DS-CDMA Mobile Radio " (IEICE Trans.Vol.E81-B of S.Seo, T.Dohi and F.Adachi, no.7,1508-1516 page or leaf, in July, 1998) a kind of presently used method that is used to estimate sir value has also been described.
These two methods will be described in the detailed description below in more detail.
Because the multipath transmisstion and the multipath transmisstion that occur in the Rake receiver (after Rake merges) are not considered in sir measurement, then exist between the footpath and disturb or self-interference.All do not consider in the middle of the SIR algorithm of describing in the document of mentioning in the above to disturb between the footpath, and these algorithms are not linear under the situation that multipath fading is made up of footpath more than.Wherein, non-linearly cause and must be removed or proofread and correct so that obtains linear SIR estimation by disturbing between the footpath.
The open United States Patent (USP) 6,292,519 of Branislav M.Popovic has been represented immediate prior art.In this document, the measured SIR value be corrected non-linear so that the sir value of proofreading and correct.According to the sir value of current reception calculated correction function in real time, perhaps, correction function can be used to generate the question blank that is stored in the memory for the expected range of tested sir value.
, though this document has been considered internal interference, and correction function nonlinear compensation to a certain degree, and this known method is not accurately considered the actual conditions of receiver.In addition, owing to relate to interpolation method the most without doubt, the use of question blank does not provide the same accurate estimation with recursive calculation usually.Like this, need a kind of improving one's methods to be used for proofreading and correct the non-linear of sir value.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
In following explanation, use cdma system--particularly the present invention explains in the W-CDMA system.The present invention can be applied in other system too, and can be used for other application except that described up-link power control.For the following description of better understanding, control with reference to the power that Fig. 1 introduces in the communication system simply.
In the communication system of using power control, carry out two kinds of different loops.At first, a kind of outer shroud feedback control loop (not shown) is arranged, in this loop, radio network controller (RNC) is provided with target SIR or with reference to SIR, and informing base station (Node B) is about this target SIR.Then, the base station is used target SIR and is correspondingly reduced or improve the power that travelling carriage uses.In this feedback control loop, the target SIR that is provided with based on the errored block rate adjustment of expectation in case of necessity.Between base station and travelling carriage, also have a kind of loop faster--interior ring, as shown in Figure 1, in this loop, increase and decrease power based on the received power level in the receiver separately.
A task of the up link inner-loop power control among the UTRA/FDD (UMTS terrestrial radio access/Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)) is to reduce the influence of rapid fading wireless channel.The base station of W-CDMA system sends to subscriber equipment (UE) with up-link transmission power control (TPC) order.As shown in Figure 1, the TPC order is to locate estimated signals interference ratio (SIR) in the base station.SIR is defined as each data bit (E b) energy and the ratio of average received interference power (I).Therefore, SIR is the signal-to-jamming ratio of receiver input.This means under the multipath channel situation, should calculate the received signal bit energy by all received signal component power of addition.Simultaneously, should only measure input (promptly outside) disturbs.
In the US 6,292,519 that explains above and mention in the above, because therefore the multipath transmisstion that occurs in Rake receiver has self-interference.According to top definition, in sir measurement, should not consider self-interference.When the sir measurement value is linearity, will accurately reflect the suitable adjustment of true input signal strength from the power command of base station.But under the situation of non-linear estimations, the base station provides the power level that does not reflect true incoming signal level adjustment.
During random access procedure, the user sends its access and asks to network, and each follow-up access attempts is to launch than the power level of the high specified quantitative of last power level (for example 1dB).After the emission of each access attempts, travelling carriage is waited for a specific period so that receive affirmation from the base station.When receiving the confirmation, access attempts finishes, and keeps same power level in the subsequent transmission of travelling carriage on Traffic Channel.Therefore, when the base station began the traffic channel signal of receiving mobile emission, the travelling carriage emitted power can very high and very may make the sir measurement at place, base station saturated.As long as the service channel power control loop such as above-mentioned internal power loop, does not reduce the transmitting power of travelling carriage, then this may continue to become a problem., if measured SIR value is incorrect, then the power control loop road needs the more time and even may not reduce the transmitting power of travelling carriage.Therefore can provide accurate as far as possible SIR to estimate it is most important.
Below, verify current SIR algorithm for estimating (as disclosed algorithms of philtrum such as the document US 6,034,952 mentioned and S.Seo) in the above, and the more accurate SIR that provides according to the present invention estimates, propose new correction algorithm.The relatively more feasible improvement of being made between present employed method and the present invention is distinct.
The analysis of current SIR algorithm for estimating
Up link spread spectrum scheme among the UTRAN/FDD as shown in Figure 2.As shown in Figure 2, received signal y (m) can be represented as
y ( m ) = Σ n = 1 N r α ( n ) ( jβ c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ n ) + w ( m )
Despread symbols p among Fig. 2 k(i) be expressed as
p k ( i ) = Σ m = 1 + i · S c ( i + 1 ) · S c y ( m ) c * ( m - τ k )
For simplicity,
Figure C02829965D00122
Substitute
Figure C02829965D00123
Obtain then:
p k ( i ) = Σ m ( Σ n = 1 N r α ( n ) ( j β c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ n ) + w ( m ) ) c * ( m - τ k )
p k ( i ) = Σ m α ( k ) ( jβ c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ k ) c * ( m - τ k )
+ Σ m ( Σ n ≠ k n = 1 N r α ( n ) ( jβ c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ n ) ) c * ( m - τ k )
+ Σ m w ( m ) c * ( m - τ k )
Because:
c(m-τ k)c *(m-τ k)=1, Σ m C d ( m ) = 0 And w k ′ ( i ) = Σ m w ( m ) c * ( m - τ k )
So:
p k ( i ) = jα ( k ) β c GS c + Σ m Σ n ≠ k n = 1 N r α ( n ) ( jβ c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ n ) c * ( m - τ k ) + w ′ k ( i ) .
Despread symbols p k(i) therefore be expressed as
p k ( i ) = jα ( k ) β c S c G + Σ m Σ n ≠ k n = 1 N r α ( n ) ( jβ c + β d C d ( m ) ) Gc ( m - τ n ) c * ( m - τ k ) + w k ′ ( i ) - - - ( 1 )
Wherein,
w k ′ ( i ) = Σ m w ( m ) c * ( m - τ k ) ,
w(m)=w re(m)+jw im(m),
w Re(m) and w im ( m ) ∈ N ( 0 , 1 2 ) ,
Subscript k delegated path k,
τ kBe the time delay of path k,
α (k) is the channel coefficients of path k,
C d(m) be the channel code of DPDCH,
C cBe the channel code of DPCCH, it equals 1 for all subscripts, and therefore not shown in (1),
C is a scrambler,
C *Be the complex conjugate of scrambler,
S cBe the spreading factor of control channel (=256),
Nr is the number of Rake fingers that is used for the work of Rake receiver,
G is the gain factor of power control,

The gross power of channel coefficients equals 1,
Σ k = 1 N r α 2 ( k ) = 1
In this specification, suppose that α (k) is a constant on the receiving symbol.Real SIR is similar to:
For example the SIR algorithm for estimating that uses at present in above-mentioned US 6,034,952 can be represented by following equation:
SIR est = E b I - N r N s , - - - ( 3 )
E b = Σ k = 1 N r | S ( k ) | 2 , - - - ( 4 a )
S ( k ) = 1 N s Σ i = 1 N s p k ( i ) ( - j P p ( i ) ) , - - - ( 4 b )
I=(1-α)I"+α·I, (5a)
I ′ ′ = 1 N r Σ k = 1 N r N ( k ) , - - - ( 5 b )
N ( k ) = 1 N s - 1 Σ i = 1 N s | p k ( i ) ( - j P p ( i ) ) - S ( k ) | 2 , - - - ( 5 c )
Wherein:
Ns is the pilot bits number that is used to estimate,
Nr is the footpath number,
p k(i) be i despread symbols,
Pp (i) be i transmitting pilot bits and
α is the filter factor of Interference Estimation, and the value that is used for current algorithm is α = 302 303 .
By using pilot bits to estimate signal power in each footpath, after the energy of adding up then,, estimating power and spreading factor estimate bit energy, as (3), (4a) with (4b) by being multiplied each other from all footpaths.Usually, because frequency pilot sign is usually with higher power level, so the power ratio of estimating pilot frequency symbol estimates that the power of speech (perhaps data) symbol is more reliable.Certainly, estimation other symbol power except that frequency pilot sign is thought within the scope of the present invention.By between estimated signal amplitude and the received signal sample variance of difference estimate to obtain interference power, suc as formula (5a) shown in (5c).
SIR estimates the desired value E{SIR of (3) EstProvide (details is referring to final section " derivation of formula (6) ") by following formula
E { SIR est } = S c ( β c G ) 2 ( 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c 2 + β d 2 ) G 2 ) - - - ( 6 )
From (6) as seen, if N r=1, then estimated value will with the SIR that provides by (2) TrueIdentical.If but receiving more than one footpath, then described algorithm will be underestimated SIR (disturb in fact and will be made up of interference (IPI) between AWGN (average-white Gaussian noise) and footpath).If sir target too high (surpassing 10dB) is set, then this may cause problem, will be issued because the unnecessary power that causes transmitting power to increase increases order.
UE (subscriber equipment) may finish with the transmitting power of maximum permission.Two situation examples when non-linear sir measurement causes problem with the power control loop road are that sir measurement is underestimated and over-evaluated respectively.The situation of underestimating SIR will cause unnecessary power to increase order, this means that exterior ring power control will be than faster under linear sir measurement situation., UE will launch the power higher than power demand, cause like this than interference inevitable in the system more to disturb, and unnecessarily shorten the battery life of UE.Second kind of situation, SIR is by too high estimation, and more power reduce order will issue UE, and exterior ring power control will be than slow under the linear SIR estimation condition.When the sir measurement value is linearity, will accurately reflect the suitable adjustment of true input signal strength from the power command of base station.But when having non-linear estimations, as explained before, the base station can provide the power level adjustment that has a little relation with true incoming signal level.
Present employed method can be summarized as follows:
1. the signal energy Eb of each data bit is estimated as de-spread pilot symbols p k(i) mean value quadratic sum.
E b = Σ k = 1 N r | 1 N s Σ i = 1 N s p k ( i ) | 2
2. instantaneous interference I " be estimated as between the mean value of frequency pilot sign and frequency pilot sign squared difference and.
I ′ ′ = 1 N r Σ k = 1 N r 1 N s - 1 Σ i = 1 N s | p k ( i ) - 1 N s Σ j = 1 N s p k ( j ) | 2 .
3. be the filtering of instantaneous interference and last interference I when forming the average received interference power I that uses when SIR estimates.
I=(1-α)I"+α·I.
4. then, the estimation SIR ' of a SIR is calculated as E bAnd the ratio between the I.
SIR ′ = E b I .
5. then, last SIR estimates that SIR is calculated as
SIR = SIR ′ - N r N s ,
Wherein, Nr is that footpath number and Ns are employed number of pilot symbols.
According to the present invention, use a kind of algorithm of having revised, it has considered that multipath disturbs and no matter the footpath number that is receiving and provide identical estimated accuracy.
By more real SIR (2) and estimation (6), visible multiplication factor D is
D = 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c 2 + β d 2 ) G 2 - - - ( 7 ) ,
It makes the SIR estimated value have partially.This factor is formed by disturbing between additive noise and footpath.From the multiplying each other of (6) and (7), then:
E { SIR proposed } = S c ( β c G ) 2 ( 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c 2 + β d 2 ) G 2 ) D =
= S c ( β c G ) 2 .
In other words, this proofreaies and correct the SIR estimation will be identical with (2), that is, it will be no inclined to one side.
In this proofreaied and correct, gain factor G had appearred 2But G 2Not known, therefore must estimate according to some mode.E bBe defined as
E b = ( S c β c G ) 2 + S c N r N s ( 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c 2 + β d 2 ) G 2 ) . - - - ( 8 )
By separating (8), obtain
G 2 = E b - S c N r N s ( ( S c β c ) 2 + S c ( N r - 1 ) N s ( β c 2 + β d 2 ) ) - - - ( 9 )
Because E bBe the parameter that calculates, and Sc, Nr and Ns be known constant, the unique unknown parameter in (9) is gain factor β cAnd β dWhen transport-format combination indicator (TFCI) is decoded (referring to 3GGP, TS 25.212), that is, after first frame in each time transmission interval (TTI), these gain factors are known.This means for first frame among each TTI and can not correctly calculate correction term (7).A method handling this problem is to use known β recently simply cAnd β dRight, and this further analyzes below.
Because unknown β cAnd β dSo, reduced performance, and used known β recently cAnd β dTo causing the incorrect compensation of first frame among each TTI, still for other frame among the TTI, correction term will be used correct β in (7) cAnd β dValue.This illustrates in Fig. 3.
Definition
Figure C02829965D00171
For being used for the ratio in first frame of new TTI, Ratio for all the other frames uses among the TTI.For the proposed algorithm in first frame of each TTI, the reduction amount depends primarily on known β recently cAnd β dValue and new β cAnd β dDifference between the value.Usually, β cAnd β dBetween ratio in the scope of 1/15-1, but go up different spreading factors for Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH), in fact the scope of Shi Yonging is 4/15,5/15 ..., in 10/15 the scope.By using (7) and (9), the present invention who represents with dB does not have the error e between the SIR of real and estimation of inclined to one side algorithm NewFor:
e new = 10 log 10 ( 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c , old 2 + β d , old 2 ) G old 2 ) - 10 log 10 ( 1 + N r - 1 N r ( β c , new 2 + β d , new 2 ) G new 2 )
Error e between the SIR that the real of inclined to one side algorithm is arranged at present and estimate OldFor:
