Description

The device and method of adaptive finite impulse response filter exponent number
Technical field
The invention relates to the device and method of distribute digital filter resource, particularly about according to the device and method of distribute digital filter resource adaptively with the relevant parameter of decision digital filter exponent number (tap number).
Background technology
The composed component of digital filter comprises adder, multiplier and/or delay element etc., is different from the composed component of analog filter such as resistance, electric capacity, inductance etc.Because digital filter has the constancy of temperature, and is not high for the sensitivity of temperature change as adder, multiplier and delay element etc., so, promptly can reach certain accuracy and stability as long as suitably determine the parameter of digital filter.。
Generally speaking, digital filter comprises finite impulse response (FIR) (finite impulse response) filter and infinite impulse response (infinite impulse response) filter, finite impulse response filter with the N rank is an example, relation between its input signal and the output signal, can represent by following difference equation (1) and transfer function thereof:
y [ n ] = Σ i = 0 N b i x [ n - i ] - - - ( 1 )
H [ z ] = Σ n = 0 N b n z - n - - - ( 2 )
Wherein, x[n-i] be input signal, y[n] be output signal, N is the exponent number (tap number) of filter or is called length, b iCoefficient for filter.In addition, shown in equation (1) was right-hand, the filter on N rank had (N+1) item altogether.H[z] be y[n] the Z transfer function.
Know as institute in the technical field herewith, illustrational N rank finite impulse response filter can be represented with calcspar shown in Figure 1.
Generally speaking, the exponent number of finite impulse response filter the more, then filter effect is better, still, exponent number the more, then cost is higher.
Fig. 2 is a calcspar, shows the framework 200 of adaptability finite impulse response filter.As known to, adaptive filter uses feedback to adjust the coefficient of filter voluntarily.As shown in Figure 2, Correction Processor 202 is according to the output of finite impulse response filter 201
Figure A200910002504D00071
With the Error Feedback of desired signal u (n) and the input x (n) of finite impulse response filter (=u (n)+i (n)), the coefficient of adjusting finite impulse response filter 201 is so that output Optimization, wherein, x (n)=u (n)+i (n), i (n) is an interference noise.Therefore, the adaptability finite impulse response filter often is used to predict in advance the interference signals processing.
The application of finite impulse response filter is very extensive.For example, in the Ethernet on-line Application, can use finite impulse response filter, disturb to eliminate various signals.In Ethernet is online, use the maskless twisted wire of many groups to the situation online as multichannel in, in a channel, when transmitting, signal can cause near-end crosstalk (near-end cross talk in the echogenicity of channel (echo) interference own and to adjacent passage, be called for short NEXT), and passage itself can be subjected to the near-end crosstalk from adjacency channel.In this case, can use finite impulse response filter to eliminate these interference sources or noise in the passage.Owing to the exponent number of finite impulse response filter is promptly looked application scenarios at circuit design stage and is designed to fixedly exponent number, so, when limited impulse response filter is actually used in different application, signal quality may can't obtain good filtering effect because of for example changing factors such as connection quality, line length or communication environment, that is, the finite impulse response filter of exponent number predetermined fixed can't also or in order to design filter order too much in response to worst-case conditions cause meaningless waste adaptively in response to the interference under the environmental change.For example, the fixing M of use rank finite impulse response filter resource is handled echo interference, when fixing in addition use M rank finite impulse response filter resource is handled near-end crosstalk, when slightly and only need being less than M rank resource, echo interference carries out filtering, in the time of need carrying out filtering more than M rank resource but near-end crosstalk is serious, promptly producing waste aspect the echo interference processing, but in the situation that occurs the filter effect deficiency aspect the near-end crosstalk processing.
Therefore, needing can be under limited filter resource, promptly under the total exponent number of filter immobilizes situation, looks applied environment and adjusts the device and method of the resource of distributing finite filter adaptively, uses to obtain to meet required excellent signal quality.

Fig. 3 is a calcspar, shows the device 300 of adjusting the FIR exponent number according to adaptability of the present invention.As shown in Figure 3, device 300 according to the present invention comprise assessment unit 302, control unit 304, a k specific FIR 3061 to 306k, a j switching circuit (Switching Circuit, for example multiplexer) 3081 to 308j, and the individual nonspecific FIR of j 3101 to 310j.Specific FIR 3061 to 306k respectively according to the signal that inputs to it producing compensation corresponding to each interference, nonspecific FIR 3101 to 310j with the exponent number of the specific FIR that extends, uses further elimination certain interference in order to be serially connected in adaptively after the specific FIR.The nonspecific FIR of control unit 304 controls makes up with the different serial connections of specific FIR, and assessment unit 302 can be eliminated the specific FIR of interference and the best of breed of nonspecific FIR according to the response intensity of different serial connection combinations well with decision.
Generally speaking, in different application, signal can be subjected to multiple different certain interference when being transmitted or handle.These specific signal are disturbed has discernible different characteristic, and when some specific interference had remarkable influence to signal quality, it can become the interference that will eliminate.Therefore, devices in accordance with embodiments of the present invention 300 can be provided with the fixing specific FIR 3061 of exponent number along with different application to 306k, responds the certain interference of eliminating in institute's transmission signals to produce.Specific FIR 3061 is to 306k, and the situation that can look application is to be used to eliminate at least a above different certain interference.For example, FIR3061 and 3062 is used to disturb A, and remaining specific FIR 3063 is used to disturb B, wherein, FIR 3061 and 3062 exponent number fix and the two the visual application of exponent number and be identical or different, be used to disturb the exponent number of the specific FIR of B also to can be identical or different for fixing and exponent number each other.Perhaps, all FIR is that specific FIR and the exponent number that is used for same certain interference all fixed.In other words, the exponent number of each specific FIR can be according to design requirement for being same to each other or different to each other.
In device 300, the exponent number of unspecific FIR 3101 to FIR 310j is identical or different for fixing and the visual demand of exponent number each other also.When the exponent number of the specific FIR that is used for certain interference as mentioned above is not enough to eliminate certain interference and can't obtains the good signal quality, among the unspecific FIR3101 to 310j at least for a moment by serial connection to the described specific FIR, be enough to eliminate the compensation of interference with generation.
Then, will to be applied to Ethernet be example to install 300, to further specify its operation.
Generally speaking, device can carry out test operation earlier 300 when being used for different application, in this test operation, and the best of breed of specific and nonspecific FIR in described applied environment in can determination device 300.
In Ethernet is online,, when in channel, sending signal, can in channel itself, causes the echo interference, and adjacency channel be caused the interference of near-end crosstalk (NEXT) if use the maskless twisted wire of many groups to the time as the online media of a plurality of channels.In other words, the signal of the transmission of the end in the passage can produce an interference source and other passage is produced another interference source in this channel.For example, have in the Ethernet of four-way A, B, C and D, the echo that channel A can suffer itself to produce is disturbed, and also is subjected to simultaneously disturbing from the near-end crosstalk of channel B, C or D.As known to as, with maskless twisted wire in connecting as the Ethernet of signaling channel, but echo is disturbed and near-end crosstalk is disturbed and is respectively the remarkable interference with different identification features.
When being applied to Ethernet that four channels connect (channel A, B, C, D) and connecting channel A in the (not shown), the specific FIR number of device in 300 be that 4 (k=4) are respectively that echo is eliminated FIR 3061 and near-end crosstalk is eliminated FIR 3062,3063,3064, nonspecific FIR 3101 and 3102 number are 2 (j=2).Echo is eliminated FIR 3061 and is used to eliminate that the echo that signal caused that passage A sends itself is disturbed and exponent number is preset as L Echo, near-end crosstalk elimination FIR 3062,3063,3064 is respectively applied for elimination and from adjacency channel B, C, D near-end crosstalk interference and the exponent number that passage A causes is preset as L NEXTThe nonspecific FIR 3101 of two adaptability configurations and 3102 exponent number are respectively L NECAnd L NEDAs known to because echo disturbs the channel response exponent number caused to disturb the channel response exponent number that is caused much larger than near-end crosstalk, so echo is eliminated the exponent number of FIR and is preferably set the exponent number of eliminating FIR much larger than near-end crosstalk for, that is, L EchoMuch larger than L NEXTIn addition, specific and nonspecific FIR as used herein is adaptability FIR.
Fig. 4 shows to have the communication device 400 of adjusting the device of FIR exponent number according to adaptability of the present invention.As shown in Figure 4, communication device 400 comprises medium access control layer (MAC), physics sign indicating number beggar layer (PCS), reduction kilomegabit Media Independent Interface layer (RGMII), reaches physical layer (PHY).Physical layer comprises signalling generator 402 and reception device 403, is located in the reception device 403 according to the device 300 of the embodiment of the invention.Reception device 403 comprises adder 405 again, reaches equalizer 406.
When device 300 is arranged in the communication device 400, and during the communication device R (not shown) connection of installing 400 the channel A in online is corresponding with another via Ethernet, before normal running, can test in advance.Communication device 400 and communication device R can be personal computer, network switch, hub, router, gateway, server, data center or similarly install.
At test period in advance, communication device 400 sends signal SA via channel A, and simultaneously, corresponding communication device R can be with primary signal S 0Be sent to communication device 400 via channel A.For communication device 400, the signal SR that is received comprises primary signal S 0, the signal SA echo of causing disturbs S EchoA, the signal SB that sends of channel B disturbs S to the near-end crosstalk that channel A is caused NextB, the near-end crosstalk that caused of the signal SC that sends of channel C disturbs S NextC, the near-end crosstalk that caused of the signal SD that sends of channel D disturbs S NextD, and other noise S NoiseThat is SR can be expressed as:
SR=S 0+S echoA+S nextB+S nextC+S nextD+S noise
Herein, S NoiseThe response that causes is not remarkable, is not object to be processed, so in explanation backward, will be ignored.
Therefore, if signal SR is cut possible maximum interference response S EchoA+ S NextB+ S NextC+ S NextD, can obtain best signal transmission news quality.
According to above-mentioned, in device 300, eliminate the various combination of FIR 3061 or near-end crosstalk elimination FIR 3062,3063,3064 as long as be connected to echo from nonspecific FIR, find out the combination that the maximum impulse response intensity is provided, can obtain best communication quality.Note, because the amplitude of the coefficient of FIR representative response, so, can represent the response intensity that produced with the coefficient of FIR in following.
In the present embodiment, with the signal quality of total incompatible this kind of the assessment serial connection mode of squared absolute value of the coefficient separately that is serially connected with the nonspecific FIR after the specific FIR, by assessing the pairing signal quality of different serial connection modes to determine best FIR combination.Certainly, the above-mentioned utilization mode of the squared absolute value sum total of coefficient separately is not restriction of the present invention, can be used as the foundation of evaluation of signal quality with absolute value sum total, noise ratio (SNR) or the predetermined critical value of for example each coefficient yet.Those skilled in the art can use any known numerical value relevant with signal quality and compute mode obtains this signal quality relevant parameter.
Now, again with reference to figure 3, illustrate the evaluation operation of decision response intensity.
When device 300 is located in the communication device 400 when being used for passage A, the input that echo is eliminated FIR 3061 receives signal SA (input 1) that communication device 400 sends, input that near-end crosstalk is eliminated FIR 3062,3063,3064 receive path B, C, and the signal SB (input 2), the SC (input 3) that send of D, and SD (input 4) respectively.
At first, at Qi Shishi, assessment unit 302 judges according to index values such as for example SNR whether present FIR configuration is enough to provide the good communication quality.If not, then carry out the test of various configurations, the impulse response intensity that is produced when eliminating FIR 3061 received signal SA by assessment unit 302 according to echo is with the exponent number L of decision FIR 3061 EchoWhether be enough to eliminate the response that echo interference is caused.If not, then under the control of control unit 304, nonspecific FIR 3101 is connected to echo eliminates FIR 3061, and with the estimation as signal quality of the summed square of the absolute value of indivedual coefficients of FIR3101 this moment.For example, if the exponent number of FIR 3101 is L NEC, in this case, its separately coefficient be b 1[0] ... b 1[L NEC-1] time, then the estimation of signal quality can be expressed as | b 1[0] | 2+ ... | b 1[L NEC-1] | 2Then, similarly, FIR 3102 is serially connected with FIR 3061 also carries out similarly processing afterwards, to obtain the estimation of its signal quality.Then, FIR 3101 and 3102 is serially connected with after the FIR 3061, and carries out and similarly handle to obtain the estimation of corresponding signal quality.
Assessment unit 302 is according to the estimation of the signal quality that so obtains, to be judged to be best of breed corresponding to the FIR 3061 of the maximum estimated value of echo cancellation and the combination of nonspecific FIR 3101 or 3102, and make control unit 304 operations according to this to choose this combination as the FIR combination that is used to eliminate interference.For example, if in all combinations, the combination that FIR 3061 and FIR 3101 and 3102 be connected in seriess mutually, its nonspecific FIR 3101 and 3102 response intensity are the maximum, then this combination just is chosen as the FIR that eliminates the interference in this four channels Ethernet application and makes up.
If, at Qi Shishi, when assessment unit 302 judges that according to index values such as for example SNR present FIR configuration is not enough to provide the good communication quality, and assessment unit 302 is judged when the exponent number of FIR 3061 is enough to eliminate the echo interference, then under the control of control unit 304, near-end crosstalk is eliminated FIR 3062 carry out and be similar to above-mentioned processing, nonspecific FIR 3101,3102 or 3101 and 3102 is connected to near-end crosstalk eliminates after the FIR 3062, to obtain corresponding response intensity.Similarly, near-end crosstalk is eliminated FIR 3063 and 3064 and carry out similar operation and processing.
Similarly, assessment unit 302 determines best near-end crosstalk FIR and the combination of nonspecific FIR according to the response intensity of so obtaining.In the above description, for brevity, in order near-end crosstalk is separately eliminated the operation that FIR carries out the nonspecific FIR of serial connection, still, should be appreciated that, also can disturb FIR to be connected in series other nonspecific FIR of branch simultaneously each near-end crosstalk to find out best of breed.For example, FIR 3101 can be connected to after the FIR 3062, simultaneously, FIR 3102 be connected to after the FIR 3064, obtaining corresponding response intensity, and obtain according to this this use in preferable combination.
In above-mentioned, assessment unit 302 is with from the impulse response of each FIR basis for estimation as various FIR configurations.But the present invention is not limited to this.For example, when being basis for estimation with SNR, assessment unit 302 can receive from the output of equalizer 406 and make up with decision FIR.
In the above description, though in passage separately, all comprise specific, nonspecific FIR, assessment unit, control unit, or the like,, each passage also can comprise specific and unspecific FIR separately, but share assessment unit, control unit, or the like.Perhaps, the specific or nonspecific FIR of the money of each passage can exchange support, that is specific FIR in A channel or nonspecific FIR can be used at least one channel of other channel when needed whole or in part.Therefore, according to the present invention, best distribution can optionally be done in unit such as specific and nonspecific FIR, relevant assessment, control, to reach resource allocation optimization and signal quality optimization.
In above-mentioned, though be that example illustrates the present invention with the Ethernet, that is the present invention can be used for network switch, hub, network router, network gateway etc., application of the present invention is not limited to Ethernet.For example, the present invention can be used for wireless communication apparatus.In addition, though above-mentioned explanation is the example explanation to eliminate different interference sources,, the invention is not restricted to this, but can be used for for example adaptability configuration of multi-channel signal device FIR.For example, be equipped with m other FIR of branch to be used for the communication device of m channel, only have k channel to be used in m channel and other m-k passage do not use, k channel that the FIR of a untapped m-k passage can be used for using then is to promote its signal processing quality.Be all practical range of the present invention so long as can use FIR resource allocation person.
