Technical field
The present invention relates to the wireless messages transmission field, particularly a kind of air time transmission system and method that is used for the asynchronous amplification forward collaboration communication of broadband wireless sensor network trunk node.
Background technology
Transmission technology is meant the technology that all adopts many antennas at transmitting terminal and receiving terminal when empty, and it can significantly improve the quality of capability of communication system and wireless transmission link, thereby it has become a research focus in the wireless communication field.Yet owing to be subjected to terminal equipment price, and the influence of factors such as volume, the many antennas of configuration not too gear to actual circumstances on the node of wireless sensor network.In order to address this problem, these two notions of collaboration communication and virtual multi-antenna are arisen at the historic moment.
The collaboration communication technology is a kind of method with distributed form developing space diversity.Utilize the wireless signal characteristics that energy is received by via node on every side in the process of transmission, can communicate information to receiving terminal with cooperating as the transmitting terminal of information source node, thereby reach the purpose of space diversity as the transmitting terminal of via node as information destination node.So, can make the shared antenna each other of each a single aerial system form virtual multi-antenna by certain agreement and come cooperation transmission information, thereby can improve systematic function effectively.And according to the transmitting terminal mode of operation to received signal as via node, the cooperation scheme can be divided into amplifying transmits, deciphers forwarding etc., wherein amplify the forwarding scheme because its complexity is lower, and only need via node to transmit the signal of handling through linearity simply and do not need to decode, therefore be subjected to people more and pay close attention to.
Because these via nodes work in the free space with distributed form, the shortage of the time block that the overall situation is unified and different spatial transmissions are introduced time delay apart from meeting between different via nodes, and promptly these via nodes will work in asynchronous mode.The intersymbol interference that how to resist the timing error introducing is a very important research topic.Although some prior art schemes are considered this situation, some distributed air time transmission system and methods based on asynchronous cooperation have been proposed, these prior art schemes have only been considered the cooperation scheme that decoding is transmitted.And the via node that the cooperation scheme that decoding is transmitted needs cooperation is at random deciphered cooperation transmission again knowing under the code book situation of information source node, and the radio link quality between information source node and via node is had relatively high expectations.In addition, in order to satisfy the requirement of system to broadband connections, the cooperation scheme must overcome the frequency selective fading influence that multipath channel is brought.Consider the low complex degree of amplification forward collaboration scheme, characteristics such as communication system is broadband, transmission problem has become the problem that those skilled in the art need to be resolved hurrily when how to solve under the frequency selective fading channels based on the distributed space in the wireless sensor network of the asynchronous amplification forward collaboration communication of via node.
