The terminal synchronization method of TD-SCDMA system repeater and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to terminal synchronization method and the device of repeater in the wirelessmobile communication system, specially refer to terminal synchronization method (claiming that again base band demodulating is synchronous) and the device of Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access wirelessmobile communication system (referred to as the TD-SCDMA system) repeater.
Background technology
In wirelessmobile communication system, wireless signal is propagated between network and user terminal (referred to as UE) by base station (referred to as Node B).Yet because the impact of natural conditions, the zone that wireless signal covers can exist weak signal area or blind area.And to some remote districts and the few blind area of number of users, the cost that sets up the base station is too high, and economic benefit is uneconomical.Therefore, occurred a kind of cost lower and set up simple, and the equipment with small base station basic function, i.e. so-called repeater.The basic role of repeater in wirelessmobile communication system is that forward direction and reverse signal are amplified again, under the condition that does not increase base station number, has increased the area coverage of network, has reduced the blind area of wireless signal.
Obviously, in the TD-SCDMA system, the most basic function in repeater is to realize signal transmission between base station and the portable terminal, namely forward direction and reverse signal are amplified again, make portable terminal can receive in the larger context the signal of base station, equally, also make the base station can receive in the larger context the signal of portable terminal, thereby increase the area coverage of network, reduce the blind area of wireless signal.Meanwhile, for guaranteeing the smooth realization of repeater basic function, the repeater also must possess following functions:
1, receives the Operation and Maintenance information that webmaster sends;
2, receive the TD-SCDMA frame synchronizing signal that the base station down signal produces;
3, the corresponding uplink and downlink control in generation and base station sequential;
4, the normal operation of control uplink and downlink link;
5, the operating state of monitoring peripheral control circuit, and the result that will monitor reports webmaster.
As everyone knows, the TD-SCDMA system is a tdd systems, and each subframe comprises 7 conventional time slots, 3 special time slots and two time slot transfer points.For making the uplink and downlink signal smoothly, intactly pass through the repeater, the repeater must keep synchronized relation with the base station, to guarantee fast and accurately sending and receiving conversion.If repeater and base station step-out can make correctly restituted signal of UE, occur staggered time slot between the base station, even cause whole network paralysis.According to the time-division characteristic, as long as the repeater is implemented between first transfer point and second transfer point synchronously and only processes upward signal, between first transfer point of second transfer point and next subframe, only process downstream signal, just can avoid uplink and downlink two cover treatment systems to work simultaneously, realize the normal process to the uplink and downlink signal.Can therefore, can the repeater keep synchronous accurately with the base station, is the repeater, even the whole network key that work.
The method of existing techniques in realizing repeater and base station synchronization mainly contains two kinds, and a kind of to be called GPS synchronous, and another kind is called detection synchronizing.
For the synchronous mode of GPS, because domestic each base station signal and GPS are synchronous, be that phase difference between base station signal and the GPS pulse per second (PPS) trailing edge is invariable, GPS pulse per second (PPS) trailing edge and the phase difference of descending pilot frequency between the finish time are at first measured in the repeater, by the enable signal of adjustment repeater uplink and downlink switch and the phase difference between the GPS pulse per second (PPS) trailing edge, so that descending enable signal can be closed is descending, also namely determined the position of first transfer point when descending pilot frequency finishes.Because the repeater of the GPS method of synchronization can't demodulate baseband signal, second transfer point can only simply be defaulted as between TS3 and TS4 (perhaps other time slots), namely adopts the mode of acquiescence to determine second transfer point.The repeater of the GPS method of synchronization need install the GPS synchronizer additional, and the repeater must be arranged on the place of gps signal, so that the scope that arranges of repeater is restricted.In addition, if the base station is adjusted the phase place of signal, the repeater will reset the phase difference between GPS pulse per second (PPS) and the switch enable signal so, and as seen there is certain defective in its method of synchronization.
The detection method claims again the power detection method, and the method at first detects fast to radio-frequency power, and then the response time, compares detected value and threshold value, if detected value is higher than threshold value generally in nanosecond.Then explanation has signal to pass through, and opens immediately down link; If being lower than threshold value, detected value opens up link.Although the method is simple, owing to only can not tell the uplink and downlink signal according to the power detection value, is mainly used in the occasion of wired coupled modes, and can not be used in the occasion (as being used for the wireless discharging-directly station of outdoor cover) of wireless coupling mode.In addition, although the power response time very fast (reaching nanosecond), the enable signal of switch also may lag behind signal, and this will cause the damage of source signal, cause the index such as error vector level (referred to as EVM) to descend, serious even can make the terminal access failure.In addition, the method can only be judged according to the time span that signal passes through the position of two transfer points, and second transfer point of the method also can only adopt the mode of acquiescence to determine.
In addition, because the useful signal the coverage whether repeater can work and have influence on whole network, in order to guarantee the normal operation of network, network is in the urgent need to carrying out remote operation and maintenance to numerous repeaters, in time process the information such as fault alarm of repeater, and adjust as required the running parameter etc. of repeater.Because the repeater of prior art does not possess the ability of remote maintenance, it is safeguarded it can only is the mode that adopts on-site maintenance, inevitably cause the expensive and inefficient of maintenance.
The spreading rate of TD-SCDMA system is 1.2Mc/s, and the carrier frequency bandwidth is 1.6MHz, and the downlink information in the system and uplink information data are that the different time-gap in same frequency transmits.The subframe that in the TD-SCDMA system, the wireless data frame of 10ms is divided into two 5ms; there are 7 conventional time slots (to be respectively TS0~TS6 in each subframe; wherein TS0 always distributes to down link; and TS1 always distributes to up link) and 3 special time slots, be respectively descending pilot frequency time slot (referred to as DwPTS), protection time slot (referred to as GP) and uplink pilot time slot (referred to as UpPTS).Separated by transfer point between UpPTS and the DwPTS.In the TD-SCDMA system, two transfer points are arranged in the subframe of each 5ms: first transfer point is from the down link to the up link, the GP of position between DwPTS and UpPTS, and first transfer point was fixed with respect to the time started of each subframe; Second transfer point is from the up link to the down link, and the position determines that second transfer point is variable according to the needs of network in system in different uplink and downlink time slot proportion relations.In the TD-SCDMA system, the chip of identifying cells is called descending synchronous code (referred to as SYNC-DL), be included among the descending pilot frequency time slot DwPTS and launch, UE generally adopts the position of so-called characteristics window search and definite DwPTS, realizes preliminary synchronously (namely so-called synchronously thick) between UE and base station.Then, the autocorrelation of recycling SYNC-DL, make the slip relevant treatment with receiving the SYNC-DL place data segment of roughly determining in advance in the signal with the corresponding basic SYNC-DL that UE local code maker generates, the synchronous position of chip-level has namely been indicated in the correlation peak position, thereby realizes the chip-level synchronous (being that so-called essence is synchronous) between UE and base station.Include training sequence intermediate code (referred to as the midamble code) among time slot TS0~TS6, UE utilizes the midamble code to estimate this user's channel impulse response, then channel impulse response is carried out interpolation processing, carry out again peak value searching and obtain the synchronism deviation estimation, utilize at last this synchronism deviation control synchronised clock, make realize between UE and base station chip-level following synchronously.
Summary of the invention
Restricted for solving the set-up site that the prior art repeater exists, original signal there is injury and needs the defective such as gps signal, the present invention proposes a kind of wireless signal that utilizes the base station to send, by adopting the position of characteristics window search and definite DwPTS, realize preliminary synchronously (namely so-called synchronously thick) between repeater and base station, pass through again the slip relevant treatment of SYNC-DL code, implement the chip-level synchronous (namely so-called synchronously smart) between repeater and base station, recycling midamble code book is estimated the repeater channel impulse response and obtains synchronism deviation to estimate, make between repeater and base station realize chip-level following synchronously, thereby guarantee the method and apparatus that the repeater various functions is realized smoothly.Because the method for synchronization of repeater of the present invention is very similar to the method for synchronization of mobile radio terminal, so be called " terminal synchronizes " method.And adopt the repeater of terminal synchronization method design also namely to be called " terminal synchronizes repeater ".Because the terminal synchronization method of TD-SCDMA system is adopted in terminal synchronizes of the present invention repeater, therefore, is easy to realize wireless telecommunications between webmaster and the repeater.
