In some exemplary embodiment, each FL superframe comprise super-frame preamble with and subsequent a series of FL frame (seeing Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B).Fig. 7 be frequency on the longitudinal axis 702 to the Figure 70 0 of the OFDM notation index on the transverse axis 704, it comprises exemplary superframe lead code 706.Exemplary superframe lead code 706 comprises 8 OFDM symbols (708,710,712,714,716,718,720,722), is used for size and is 512 and bigger FFT.As shown in Figure 7, these symbols are indexed as 0 to 7.
The exemplary superframe lead code in certain embodiments, comprises 16 OFDM symbols, is used for the situation of 256 FFT.Another exemplary superframe lead code comprises 32 OFDM symbols, is used for the situation of 128 FFT.
For simplicity, below describing at size is 512 and bigger FFT.For other situation, the channel of respectively forming of super-frame preamble carries out convergent-divergent (repeating in time) according to the appropriate factor of comparing with the situation of 512 FFT (factor is 2 under the situation of 256 FFT, and the factor is 4 under the situation of 128 FFT).
Last three OFDM symbols (718,720,722) (being indexed as 5,6 and 7 symbol) in the super-frame preamble 706 are the TDM pilot tones that is used for initial acquisition.These symbols also can be called TDM pilot tone 1, TDM pilot tone 2 and TDM pilot tone 3.Wherein first forms bid (F-ACQCH), and latter two is reused, so that launch other sector interference channel (F-OSICH).At OFDM symbol 7
722) go up emission TDM pilot tone 1.On OFDM symbol 5 and 6 (718,720), launch TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 respectively.
Example T DM pilot tone 1 is described now.TDM pilot tone 1 is the OFDM symbol that comprises the time domain PN sequence with 4 cycles.The structure of TDM pilot tone 1 depends on bandwidth and is lower than 5MHz or is higher than 5MHz.
In bandwidth 5MHz or deployment still less, this OFDM symbol passes through N FFT/ 4 length of PN sequence are carried out FFT and are constructed with per four subcarriers of FFT value assembling (getting rid of the protection subcarrier).Carrying out IFFT and additional Cyclic Prefix and windowing interval then, just looks like such in each other OFDM symbol.The PN sequence that is used for this purpose does not rely on the sector, therefore can not use TDM pilot tone 1 identification sector.Yet the PN sequence does not rely on bandwidth.Different PN sequences is used for each of following three kinds of situations: BW≤1.25MHz, 1.25MHz<BW≤2.5MHz and 2.5MHz<BW≤5MHz.
In being higher than the bandwidth of 5MHz, bandwidth is divided into the section that respectively has the 5MHz bandwidth.Emission TDM pilot tone 1 on the section of sector in any given superframe.Yet the section that the sector is launched pilot tone thereon changes between superframe.Differently select section with two kinds of different synchronous modes.The time domain sequences that is used to modulate does not rely on the sector yet and depends on the total bandwidth and the index of section.
TDM pilot tone 1 can be used to catch superframe estimation regularly.For example, AT can be relevant with respect to known TDM PN sequence with the waveform that receives, and value after will being correlated with and threshold, so that determine whether TDM pilot tone 1 exists in any given period.In case identify regularly, AT just can use TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 to carry out sector identification.TDM pilot tone 1 can also be used for frequency correction.
Exemplary TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 is described now. TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 is used for carrying out sector identification after using TDM pilot tone 1 to catch one or more strong paths. TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 is used the time domain sequences structure, this time domain sequences be one group by one in 1024 walsh sequences after the scrambling of PN sequence.512 elements that walsh sequence begins are used to construct TDM pilot tone 2, and back 512 elements are used to construct TDM pilot tone 3.Walsh sequence depends on the Pilot PN of sector, and does not change between superframe and superframe.In 1024 sequences, 512 sequences are that half synchronous mode keeps, and 512 sequences in addition are that synchronous mode keeps.The PN sequence depends on system bandwidth under the situation of the deployment of bandwidth≤5MHz, and in bandwidth〉depend on system bandwidth and section index under the situation of the deployment of 5MHz.It is identical with the section of launching TDM pilot tone 1 thereon with 3 section to launch TDM pilot tone 2 thereon.
Synchronous mode is described now.System supports two kinds of patterns, and promptly half synchronously with asynchronous, TDM pilot tone generation difference in both cases.
Half synchronous mode is described now.For some application, for example range finding (ranging), it is useful detecting weak especially sector.Therefore, it is important allowing at an enterprising line correlation of above super-frame preamble.In order to obtain processing gain on an above super-frame preamble, it is very favourable that interference signal (being the TDM pilot tone of adjacent sectors) changes between a super-frame preamble and next super-frame preamble.In order to make this available, for each sector definition is called auxiliary quantity PilotPhase, that change between superframe.PilotPhase is 9 bit quantity, and it is defined as PilotPhase=(PilotPN+SuperframeIndex) mod512, and wherein SuperframeIndex is the count value that increases progressively to next superframe from a superframe, and is defined globally in each sector.PilotPhase is used to two TDM pilot tones to generate scramble sequence.Further, at BW〉in the deployment of 5MHz, launch the section of TDM pilot tone thereon and selected by pseudorandom ground as the function of PilotPhase.
When the skew of identical sequence was used in different sectors, pilot configuration had the synchronous of some degree between two sectors.Or rather, if all probable values of PilotPN all are possible, any two sectors of this structural requirement are synchronized within half superframe so, but are not in symbol level or chip level.Otherwise, can infer, two sectors with different PilotPN can be launched identical acquisition pilot (identical PN sequence) simultaneously.This pattern can, and really sometimes, be used to improve performance (reduce capture time, fast handoff sectors, estimate to disturb etc.).
Asynchronous mode is described now.In some cases, can not accurately synchronous two sectors.In order to support this scene, there is a kind of pattern not have synchronous requirement in the system.In this pattern, the TDM pilot tone is directly used the PilotPN scrambling, rather than uses auxiliary quantity PilotPhase.For bandwidth≤5
The system of MHz, the TDM pilot tone is identical between superframe and superframe.For bandwidth〉system of 5MHz, the TDM pilot tone is the circulation of certainty ground within one group of available section.
Exemplary acquisition procedure is described now.Preceding 5 OFDM symbols (708,710,712,714,716) in the super-frame preamble are used to carry two primary broadcast channels, i.e. F-pBCH0 and F-pBCH1.First OFDM symbol 708 comprises F-pBCH0 part 724 and F-pBCH1 part 726.Second to the 5th OFDM symbol (710,710,712,714,716) carrying F-pBCH1 information.These channel bearings AT needed the configuration information that has before demodulation PHY frame.In addition, F-pBCH1 channel bearing call information also.
In this exemplary embodiment, F-pBCH0 wraps on 16 superframes and is encoded, and occupies that 1/4 OFDM symbol in each super-frame preamble---this is very little expense.F-pBCH0 carries the static parameter in the whole deployment, for example Cyclic Prefix duration, protection number of sub carrier wave, and superframe index, and needs when initially waking up only.
F-pBCH1 wraps on the single superframe and is encoded, and occupies 43/4 OFDM symbol in each super-frame preamble.The bandwidth cost of this channel is about 2%.The enough information of F-pBCH1 carrying make AT can demodulation from the FL data of PHY frame, described information is for example about the information of FL frequency hopping pattern, pilot configuration, control channel structure, transmitting antenna etc.These information are launched every a superframe; Other superframe is as bearing call, for example Quick paging.Remaining Overhead uses the routine data channel radio in the predetermined superframe, and this carrying is about the information of RL frequency hopping pattern, channel Mapping, transmitting power, power contorl parameters and access parameter etc.
These channels make flexibly physical layer possibility that become, the flexible configuration of permission Cyclic Prefix, number of antennas, pilot configuration etc.They also support to have the FL and the RL control channel of flexible expense, and this makes described expense to be complementary with active user's load.Equally, can enable or close such as the feature of sub-band scheduling, FFR etc.
When initially waking up, AT at first uses TDM pilot detection sector and reaches the time and Frequency Synchronization.In half synchronous mode, AT is known the value of PilotPhase variable at the end in this stage, and in asynchronous mode, AT is known the value of PilotPN variable at the end in this stage.Then, AT continues demodulation F-pBCH0 and F-pBCH1 channel.The F-pBCH0 channel bearing low 9 bits of SuperframeIndex, this makes AT can find the value (PilotPN=PilotPhase-SuperframeIndex mod 512) of PilotPN under half synchronous situation.Therefore, in half synchronous mode and asynchronous mode, at this stage end, AT is known PilotPN and SuperframeIndex variable, and these two variablees one are used from and aid in the various randomizer of using when generating the FL waveform (for example frequency hopping, scrambling etc.).
In one embodiment, (the ternary amount of (F-OSICH) carrying, this three-state amount is modulated to the phase place on TDM pilot tone 2 and 3 to other sector interference channel.Because finish in case catch, the TDM pilot waveform is exactly known, so the overlapping performance degradation that can not cause OSICH.One of characteristic is that it is used in by AT in the sector of closing on, promptly should be able to be with low-down SNR decoding.This is by providing very large spreading gain to realize for this channel, and promptly whole OFDM symbol is used as the information of emission less than dibit, and perhaps two OFDM symbols are as the information of emission less than dibit.
