Background technology
Along with developing rapidly of the communication technology, for communication systems such as WCDMA, CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA, the demand of power system capacity increases sharply.At present, increasing frequency resource is the important means of expanding system capacity.Under the prerequisite that increases frequency resource, improve the integrated level of communication system, and then reduce cost, then need to adopt multi-transceiver technology.
Be example with the TD-SCDMA multi-carrier communications systems below, the problem that current multi-carrier communications systems transmission signals exists be described in conjunction with Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is that the multi-carrier signal in the TD-SCDMA multi-carrier communications systems sends the form schematic diagram.
As seen from Figure 1; in the TD-SCDMA multi-carrier communications systems; inserted training sequence (midamble) sign indicating number in the same position of the signal that each carrier wave carried; wherein; DATA1 among Fig. 1 and DATA2 represent the data division of the signal of carrier wave 1~carrier wave K carrying, and GP is a protection time slot data division.
At present, in the TD-SCDMA multi-carrier communications systems, obtain a plurality of midamble sign indicating numbers after identical basic midamble sign indicating number is shifted, be inserted into respectively in the signal of a plurality of carriers carry in the sub-district, a plurality of carrier waves in sub-district adopt a cover transmitter installation to send signal, therefore, the signal demand of each carriers carry superposes in this transmitter and obtains intermediate frequency and close the road signal.Same midamble sign indicating number displacement obtains because the midamble sign indicating number that inserts in the signal of each carriers carry is based on, midamble sign indicating number part correlation in the signal of each carriers carry is higher, the position of inserting the midamble sign indicating number in the data of each carriers carry is identical, and each carrier wave sends the signal that it carries at synchronization, therefore, when the midamble sign indicating number part in the signal of each carriers carry is superimposed, the probability that the peak-to-peak value stack occurs is bigger, cause intermediate frequency to close the road signal and can produce bigger peak value, and, along with the increase of carrier number, the probability that intermediate frequency closes the big peak value of road signal generation also increases.Thereby the peak-to-average force ratio that the intermediate frequency of present multi-carrier communications systems closes the road signal is bigger usually.
The peak-to-average force ratio that intermediate frequency closes the road signal is big more, and this intermediate frequency closes the easy more inelastic region that enters of road signal, and this will reduce intermediate frequency is closed the efficiency power amplifier that the road signal carries out power amplification.In order to improve described efficiency power amplifier, need to reduce the peak-to-average force ratio that intermediate frequency closes the road signal.
At present, in order to reduce the method that peak-to-average force ratio generally adopts baseband coding or peak clipping, more typical despicking method has the method for hard peak clipping filtering, it realizes that principle is simple, the signal that will handle and peak clipping thresholding are relatively, be restricted on the peak clipping thresholding for sampling point greater than the peak clipping thresholding, this method can cause serious frequency spectrum diffusion, the back is suppressed frequency spectrum diffusion with filter bring very big pressure, and after the signal after the peak clipping is by filter, also may cause peak value to regenerate, make that the peak clipping effect is relatively poor, and can bring Error Vector Magnitude (Error Vector Magnitude, EVM) deterioration of index.Other despicking method such as peak value window method, the hard peak clipping pulse that will be higher than thresholding is through filter smoothing, come the expansion of inhibition zone external spectrum, though this method has suppressed out of band spectrum regeneration to a certain extent, but itself diminishes mistake signal, therefore the EVM index is had deterioration, no matter the sort of despicking method all can worsen the EVM index in the improved while of peak-to-average force ratio.All relevant with coded system with the baseband modulation mode for the method for baseband coding, though the EVM index can not worsen, it is too high that algorithm implements complexity, has problems in practical application for multicarrier system.
As seen, reduce the method for signal peak-to-average ratio in the existing multi-carrier communications systems or can cause adjacent-channel power to leak than (Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio, ACLR) deterioration of index and EVM index, perhaps algorithm complex is too high, and system realizes that difficulty is bigger.

For making purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in more detail.
Method and apparatus of the present invention is introduced after the different retardations in the signal of each carriers carry, and described signal again superposes.By introducing delay volume, can reduce the correlation of the signal of each carriers carry, thereby reduce the peak-to-average force ratio after each carrier signal stack.
The present invention can introduce described retardation in the baseband signal of each carriers carry, also can introduce described retardation in the intermediate-freuqncy signal of each carriers carry, describes below in conjunction with Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

For transmitting terminal, in the signal of each carriers carry, introduce after the different retardations, the described signal that superposes again can reduce signal peak-to-average ratio, for receiving terminal, can need not the signal that receives to be carried out the signal that special processing can detect reception with being incorporated into retardation equivalence in the signal of each carriers carry at transmitting terminal in the channel delay characteristic at receiving terminal.
With the TD-SCDMA system is example, in order to estimate the channel delay characteristic, it is long that receiving terminal has set in advance channel estimation window, the condition that the value of the retardation that the present invention introduced need satisfy is: when receiving terminal utilizes the midamble sign indicating number to do the signal estimation, the value of the retardation of introducing is within channel estimation window can estimated ranges, in other words, the actual channel time delay addition of the value of retardation and the pairing channel of carrier wave of introducing this retardation and to be not more than channel estimation window long.For being positioned at indoor multi-carrier communications systems, because it is less to be positioned at the channel delay of indoor environment itself, therefore, the delay volume value of introducing in the signal of each carriers carry is bigger, correspondingly, for being positioned at outdoor multi-carrier communications systems, because it is bigger to be positioned at the channel delay of outdoor environment itself, the delay volume value of introducing in the signal of each carriers carry is less, it is wide more to be positioned at outdoor multi-carrier communications systems coverage, the channel delay of itself is big more, and then corresponding delay volume value should be more little.For each multi-carrier communications systems, can determine the span of delay volume according to the maximum channel time delay that this multi-carrier communications systems allowed, in this span, get the concrete value of arbitrary value as delay volume.

(Peak to Average Power Ratio, effect PAR) describes below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the technical scheme (hereinafter referred carrier wave time-delay scheme) that adopts the present invention to introduce delay volume to be reduced peak-to-average force ratio after each carrier signal stack.
Generally, a signal x (n), n=0 ..., the peak value of ∞ should be its envelope | x (n) |, n=0 ..., the maximum of ∞.Because the probability that the signal amplitude maximum occurs is very little, use
Come the definition signal amplitude peak not have too big practical significance.A kind of more efficiently peak value define method is to adopt probability method, and (Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function, CCDF) curve defines PAR to promptly contrary cumulative distribution function.
For signal x (n), n=0 ..., ∞, its relative instantaneous power may be defined as:
Wherein, N is for participating in the signal number of samples of statistics.A signal x (n), n=0 ..., the relative instantaneous power of ∞ is at certain 1 P

The CCDF curve representation be at certain hour in the cycle, the ratio cumulative distribution from big to small of each time point instantaneous power and average power.
Fig. 5 is the CCDF curve synoptic diagram.Among Fig. 5, the longitudinal axis is represented cumulative distribution density, and unit is %, and transverse axis is represented power ratio, and unit is dB, generally with the signal PAR value of 0.1 ‰ distributed points.When the CCDF curve changes to curve 2 by curve 1, illustrate to have reduced PAR.
