Embodiment
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
With reference to figure 5, the rake reception device structural representation for the described a kind of transmitting power control data of the embodiment of the invention specifically comprises: descrambling and de-spreading module, channel estimation module, TPC extraction and compensating module, rake merge module.
The descrambling and de-spreading module is used to finish the descrambling and de-spreading process of channel, supports to carry out simultaneously two channels (DPCH, descrambling and de-spreading P-CPICH).The routing information that obtains according to Cell searching and route searching, and the scrambler and the spreading code of the channel of protocol stack sofeware configuration, finish the P-CPICH channel in each path and the descrambling and de-spreading of DPCH channel, obtain the P-CPICH in each path and the data symbol of DPCH respectively.The descrambling and de-spreading module comprises the scrambler generator, spreading code generator and descrambling despreader three parts.
Channel estimation module is used to use the data symbol of P-CPICH channel that channel estimating is carried out in each path, obtains the channel estimation value in each path.Channel estimation module comprises: channel estimation value calculator, channel estimation value filter, interpolation/withdrawal device.
Described channel estimation value calculator according to per two P-CPICH symbols, calculates a channel estimation value, as shown in Figure 6.Its computing formula is as follows:
Following formula is the channel estimation value computing formula of even-even symbol;
Following formula is the channel estimation value computing formula of odd number to symbol.
Wherein, a1 and a2 are respectively the channel estimation value of antenna 1 and antenna 2, and r1 and r2 are a pair of CPICH symbol of descrambling and de-spreading module output, A=1+j.When the P-CPICH channel was launched diversity for nothing, the channel estimation value of antenna 2 was 0.
For the noise effect of filtering channel estimation value, just need carry out Filtering Processing to the channel estimation value that calculates, what the channel estimation value filter described in the present embodiment adopted is the FIR filter.
Channel estimation value is carried out obtaining the precise channels estimated value in order to make TPC after the Filtering Processing, and the present invention also carries out interpolation/extraction to channel estimation value and handles.Can use zeroth order to keep interpolation or first-order linear interpolation to the interpolation of channel estimation value.After finishing interpolation/extraction, obtain final channel estimation value, make it corresponding one by one with the TPC symbol, speed is mated fully.And in TPC rake receiving course in the past, channel estimation value not being carried out interpolation/extraction process, the channel estimation value that obtains so often is not very accurate.
TPC extracts and compensating module, is used for the time slot format information according to the DPCH channel, and the DPCH channel in each path is separated channel, extracts corresponding TPC symbol from the DPCH channel, and uses current channel estimation value that the TPC symbol is carried out channel compensation.In general rake receiving course, often data are carried out buffer memory, after wait was calculated with channel estimation value constantly with it, channel data use and it were carried out channel compensation with channel estimation value constantly and are handled, channel value after the compensation that obtains like this can be more accurate, as shown in Figure 7.When TPC of the present invention compensated, because TPC needs fast processing, therefore, the channel estimation value during the TPC compensation used the output valve of current channel estimation module, rather than the channel estimation value in the same moment corresponding with TPC, as shown in Figure 8.Like this, though the channel estimation value that this moment, TPC used is not very accurate, shortened the processing time of TPC greatly.
Rake merges module, is used for the TPC symbol on each path after the compensation is merged.The present invention adopts high specific merging (MRC) to carry out the merging of TPC.Because when carrying out the UE uplink power control, a TPC order only can appear in each time slot in each path, and according to the time slot format of DPCH, each time slot has 8 TPC symbols (16bit) at most, therefore, when the present invention carried out the rake merging, the TPC data symbol that carries out time slot inside earlier added up, the high specific that carries out TPC symbol between each paths again merges, and produces a TPC symbol at last.
With reference to figure 9, be the Rake receiving method process blocks schematic diagram of the described a kind of transmitting power control data of the embodiment of the invention.Detailed process is as follows:
Step 910: descrambling and de-spreading.
Carry out the routing information that Cell searching and route searching obtain according to system, and the scrambler and the spreading code of the channel of upper-layer protocol stack configuration, P-CPICH channel and DPCH channel to each path carry out descrambling and de-spreading, obtain the P-CPICH in each path and the data symbol of DPCH respectively.
Step 920: channel estimating.
Use the data symbol of P-CPICH channel that channel estimation value calculating is at first carried out in each path, adopt the FIR filter to carry out filtering then, at last the channel estimation value that obtains after the filtering is carried out the final channel estimation value that interpolation/extraction obtains each path.
Step 930: channel compensation.
According to the time slot format information of DPCH channel, the DPCH channel in each path is separated channel, extract the TPC symbol, and use current channel estimation value that the TPC symbol is carried out channel compensation.
Step 940:rake merges.
TPC symbol to each path after the compensation carries out adding up in the time slot earlier, and the high specific that carries out again between each path merges, and obtains final TPC symbol.
Below just be treated to example with the descending digital baseband of WCDMA UE, describe the rake receiving course of TPC hardware in detail.Set that TPC is 16bit in the current DPCH time slot format, i.e. 8 TPC symbols.Always have the treatment circuit in 6 paths in the rake receiving system of TPC.With reference to Figure 10, for the descending TPC receiving system of the UE of WCDMA structural representation, by Cell searching/route searching unit, TPC hardware rake receiving system and DSP form.The rake receiving course of descending TPC symbol is as follows:
At first, dsp software is initiated a Cell searching and route searching process, and Cell searching has obtained information such as the scrambler of current area and spreading code.Feed back to dsp software.Simultaneously, begin to carry out route searching, the routing information that searches is sent to TPC hardware rake receiving system.
Then, DSP disposes corresponding scrambler for TPC hardware rake receiving system, spreading code information and DPCH time slot format information, and simultaneously, TPC hardware rake device receives the routing information that path searcher module sends over, and begins to carry out descrambling and de-spreading.Obtain P-CPICH channel data and DPCH channel data behind the descrambling and de-spreading in 6 paths.
And channel estimation module uses the P-CPICH channel in 6 paths to carry out channel estimation value to calculate, and filtering obtains the channel estimation value in 6 paths, outputs to TPC and extracts and compensating module.
The DPCH time slot format that TPC extracts and compensating module provides according to DSP carries out the extraction of the TPC data in 6 paths then, all extracts 8 TPC symbols on each path, uses the channel estimation value of the current output of channel estimation module to carry out channel compensation.8 TPC symbols after the compensation are exported in 6 paths respectively then.
Rake as last module in the rake receiving system of TPC merges module, earlier the TPC symbol in each path is handled, and the TPC symbol after the compensation in the same time slot in each path is added up, totally 8 symbols.At this moment, the TPC symbol after each path has only to add up.Then the TPC symbol after the adding up of 6 paths is carried out high specific and merge, obtain a final TPC symbol.
At last this TPC symbol is sent to dsp software, carry out subsequent treatment.
The present invention realizes that with hardware the rake of TPC data receives processing fully, processing time is short, simple in structure, and some hardware resources are (as descrambling and de-spreading, channel estimating etc.) can also share with the rake receiver module of other data, not take the DSP resource substantially, make DSP have sufficient resource to carry out other processing, perhaps can reduce the processing clock of DSP, to reach the purpose of saving power consumption.
