Description

A kind of method that realizes the OFDM exact time synchronization
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical field of data transmission in the mobile communication technology, be meant a kind of method that realizes OFDM (OFDM) exact time synchronization especially.
Background technology
OFDM (OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is to utilize parallel transmission to improve a kind of mobile communication technology of communication data transmission rate.The basic thought of this technology is in frequency domain given channel to be divided into many orthogonal sub-channels, uses a subcarrier to modulate on each subchannel, and each subcarrier parallel transmission.Like this, although total channel be non-flat forms, have frequency selectivity, but each subchannel is a relatively flat, what carry out on each subchannel is narrow band transmission, and signal bandwidth is less than the respective bandwidth of channel, so the interference between the erasure signal waveform greatly.OFDM is that its allows subcarrier spectrum to overlap with respect to the difference of general multi-carrier transmission, as long as satisfy between subcarrier mutually orthogonally, just can isolate data-signal from the subcarrier of aliasing.
Because OFDM allows the subcarrier spectrum aliasing, its spectrum efficiency improves greatly, simultaneously, this technology also has the anti-multipath interference and intersymbol interference, channel estimating and equilibrium realize many advantages such as easy, that system's implementation complexity is low, thereby is a kind of modulation system efficiently.And this technology is easy to combine with various multiple access technologies, thereby generally believed it is indispensable core technology in the 4th third-generation mobile communication system.This technology is widely used in digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB), ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) (ADSL), wireless lan (wlan), wireless MAN (WMAN), Wireless Personal Network (WPAN), the unauthorized metropolitan area network of wireless high-speed many data communication systems such as (WHUMAN) at present, determined to use the OFDM technology in 802.16 agreements, 802.20 mobile wide-band wire-less accessing systems that Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers (IEEE) standardization body is being discussed at present also will adopt this modulation technique.
The OFDM symbol is made of subcarrier in frequency domain, and the number of subcarrier has determined counting of time-frequency conversion (FFT).Subcarrier has three types, and it is respectively data subcarrier, pilot sub-carrier and virtual subnet carrier wave.Wherein, data subcarrier is used for transfer of data; Pilot sub-carrier is used for eliminating residual differing at first, and along with the development of technology, the effect of pilot sub-carrier further enlarges, and can be used to carry out Frequency Synchronization and channel estimating.The virtual subnet carrier wave is meant the carrier wave that does not send any data, and ofdm system is introduced the interference of adjacent band in order to reduce.
The OFDM technology has above-mentioned numerous advantage, but it is to time synchronized, and especially the requirement of time precise synchronization is very high, could guarantee the orthogonality between the subcarrier like this.This be because: if in advance synchronously, can introduce different phase differences for different subcarriers, increase along with the mistake synchronism deviation, the performance of system also is subjected to increasing influence thereupon, can introduce bigger phase difference for the high frequency subcarriers among the OFDM especially, for high order modulation, this deviation will cause performance sharply to reduce and make high order modulation to use.If postpone synchronously, will disturb between created symbol, cause performance sharply to descend.The time mistake can influence the fractional frequency performance of (FFO) synchronously synchronously to a great extent in addition.Therefore, the exact time synchronization in the ofdm system is very important key technology in this system.
Figure 1 shows that OFDM realizes the overview flow chart schematic diagram of Time and Frequency Synchronization.
It is slightly synchronous that step 101, ofdm system are carried out the time to the received signal.Concrete grammar is: adopting leading cell is that targeting sequencing (preamble) carries out time synchronized, promptly by being correlated with the acquisition time slightly synchronous to the two sections identical data in front and back, thereby obtains the sync peaks phase information of received signal.Perhaps, utilize the time window that equates with circulating prefix-length, it is relevant to slide to the received signal, and it is slightly synchronous that the Cyclic Prefix in the dependence orthogonal frequency division multiplex OFDM symbol carries out the time, obtains the sync peaks phase information of received signal.
Step 102, the mark frequency deviation is synchronous.Concrete grammar is: carry out the mark frequency offset estimating according to the described sync peaks phase information of step 101, and revise according to the signal that this mark frequency offset estimating information butt joint is received, make only to have integer frequency bias in the revised received signal.
Step 103, the time-frequency conversion.Concrete grammar is: will be transformed into frequency domain by fast Fourier transform (FFT) or discrete time Fourier transform (DFT) conversion through the signal after step 102 is handled.
Step 104, integer frequency bias is synchronous.Concrete grammar is: at first utilize the known subcarrier information in the Preamble sequence to carry out the filtering of difference relevant matches, estimate to carry out integer frequency bias, and then carry out integer frequency bias compensation, promptly utilize the integer frequency bias information butt joint estimate to collect mail and number revise, make not have integer frequency bias in the revised received signal.
Step 105, the time precise synchronization.Concrete grammar is: the signal after utilizing leading cell and handling through step 104 carries out matched filtering, searches for and obtains multipath information, thereby directly come accurately to locate synchronization point according to head, realizes the time precise synchronization.
Step 106, mark frequency deviation second synchronization.Promptly carry out the mark frequency offset estimating once more, and revise, make only to have integer frequency bias in the revised received signal, thereby realize accurate Time and Frequency Synchronization according to the signal that this mark frequency offset estimating information butt joint is received.
In the method for the accurate Time and Frequency Synchronization of above-mentioned realization, though utilize leading cell can realize exact time synchronization, leading cell is to want additive decrementation system resource.Especially in mobile environment, every certain interval of time just must carry out one time the time precise synchronization, otherwise because the performance loss that time synchronization error brings is that system is intolerable.Like this, the time of at every turn carrying out all must send leading cell during precise synchronization, and this will cause increasing overhead, reduces the speed that data send.Yet,, also do not have effective method to finish exact time synchronization if do not use leading cell.
