Abstract

The invention aims to provide a method for carrying out OFDM time synchronization by utilizing a superposed training sequence, which enhances the correlation performance of time synchronization by designing a training sequence structure and a corresponding synchronization algorithm. The OFDM synchronous training sequence adopts a method of being superposed on the cyclic prefix of the transmission data, does not increase extra transmission cost, and further reduces the interference between the training sequence and the transmission data because 0 is inserted into the training sequence.

Description

Utilize overlying training sequence to carry out the OFDM method for synchronizing time
Technical field
The present invention relates to the OFDM technical field, particularly relate to a kind of overlying training sequence that utilizes and carry out method for synchronizing time.
Background technology
OFDM is a kind of special multi-carrier modulation technology, and it utilizes the orthogonality of intercarrier further to improve the availability of frequency spectrum, and can resist narrow band interference and multipath fading.The subcarrier of OFDM by a plurality of quadratures can increase the width of code element with the data parallel transmission of serial, reduces the frequency band that single code element takies, the frequency selective fading that the opposing multipath causes; Can effectively overcome intersymbol interference, the reduction system is applicable to the high speed data transfer in multi-path environment and the fading channel to the requirement of balancing technique; And channel utilization is very high, and this point is particularly important in frequency spectrum resource limited wireless environment.
But, realize that there is technical difficult point in ofdm system, wherein very important one is that system is very high to synchronous requirement because it to timing error than the single-carrier technology sensitivity many.The if symbol timing offset is excessive, makes the length of the length sum of side-play amount regularly and maximum delay expansion less than Cyclic Prefix, can produce intersymbol interference, destroys the integrality of OFDM symbol, reduces the performance of system.We can say that the estimation of symbol timing offset accurately is the key that realizes ofdm system.
Fig. 1 is the block diagram of a general purpose O FDM baseband system.Row modules such as preface are trained in transmitting terminal serial to parallel conversion among Fig. 1, source encoding, mapping, OFDM baseband modulation and stack, represent the process of OFDM baseband modulation; The serial to parallel conversion of receiving terminal among Fig. 1, synchronously, OFDM base band demodulating, channel estimating and modules such as channel compensation, inverse mapping and parallel serial conversion, represent OFDM base band demodulating process; Channel is a multipath channel among Fig. 1; Synchronization module among Fig. 1 promptly is the part that realizes the OFDM time synchronized.
Common OFDM time synchronized scheme has two kinds:
(1) training sequence is synchronous as the OFDM of pilot tone.This method takies a data transmitting element with training sequence separately as data message, and receiving terminal obtains the purpose that correlation peak is realized time synchronized by the related operation to pilot tone.Utilize the method for pilot tone can guarantee to obtain good synchronization performance, but, reduced the efficiency of transmission of system because pilot tone has taken transmission resources.
(2) OFDM that training sequence is superimposed upon on the data is synchronous.These class methods are transmitted with the stack of OFDM symbol after training sequence being multiply by a power division factor (having reduced energy) more simultaneously, reduced the needed transmission resources of pilot tone, improved efficiency of transmission, but the problem that this method exists training sequence and transmission data to interfere with each other.Referring to document: Tufvesson F., Faulkner M., Hoeher P., Edfors O..OFDM time and frequency synchronization by spreadspectrum pilot technique[J] .Commun.Theory Mini-Conference.Jun, 1999.vol.5:115-119.The someone proposes training sequence is superimposed upon method on the Cyclic Prefix again subsequently, has reduced the interference of training sequence with the transmission data.Referring to document: Tang Youxi, Yan Chunlin. a kind of OFDM time, frequency synchronization method [P]. 02133996.1 open day on June 14th, 2006 of number of patent application, publication number CN1259780C.But this series methods is owing to reduced the energy of training sequence, and the performance of anti-multipath interference aspect descends to some extent.
Summary of the invention
Order of the present invention provides a kind of training sequence structure and corresponding synchronization algorithm thereof at the deficiencies in the prior art.OFDM synchronous training sequence of the present invention adopts the method that is superimposed upon on the transmission datacycle prefix, does not increase extra transport overhead, and the structure of combined training sequence is divided into time synchronized synchronously thick and synchronously thin.
, may further comprise the steps based on described training sequence structure according to method for synchronous of the present invention:

B. training sequence m (k) is superimposed upon on the Cyclic Prefix of baseband OFDM signal, and sends into channel.
C. receiving terminal is sought the position of correlation peak with the signal that the receives related operation that is shifted.Wherein, received signal at first will be carried out shift transformation in correlation window, carries out related operation with known training sequence m (k) again after the conversion.
Described steps A comprises:
With coded sequence a get negative, get conjugation, get computing such as negative conjugation after, according to structure shown in Figure 2, form training sequence.Wherein, choosing of coded sequence a has generality, chooses the sequence of correlated performance excellence usually.

With training sequence m[k] multiply by ρ is the power division factor, and the definition power division factor equals the energy of overlying training sequence and the ratio of gross energy (that is: the energy sum of the energy of training sequence and burst), and the Cyclic Prefix with superposed positions multiply by again
Figure B2009101414357D0000042
After, the two addition is finished the process of overlying training sequence.
Described step C comprises:
Received signal is carried out as shown in Figure 4 reconfiguration according to formula (1) and formula (2) in correlation window.
r1(n)=-1×r*(n) (1)
a ( n ) = r 1 ( n + G / 2 ) 0 < n &le; G / 2 r 1 ( n - G / 2 ) G / 2 < n &le; G - - - ( 2 )
Wherein, the time domain data of r (n) for receiving, r1 (n) is the negative conjugation of r (n), and G is the length of Cyclic Prefix, and * is a conjugate operation.
Data are through carrying out related operation with known training sequence m (k) according to 3 formulas after the deformation process.
