Background technology
Fast development along with mobile communication, in 2G and the 3G communications field, the application of multicarrier system is comparatively extensive, be compared to single-carrier system, multicarrier system is owing to there being a plurality of carrier signals to superpose on time domain, has higher PAPR (papr, Peak to Average Power Ratio is referred to as peak-to-average force ratio or PAPR).and for the system of 3G standard, comprise WCDMA, the system of CDMA2000 and three kinds of standards of TD-SCDMA, the PAPR of single-carrier signal itself is just higher, if multicarrier system, PAPR will be higher, therefore, in the 3G system, signal for undistorted these PAPR of transmission, linearity to some parts requires very high, PA (PA:Power Amplifier for example, power amplifier), if the excursion of signal exceeds the range of linearity of device, will produce obvious inband distortion and out-of-band radiation, thereby cause the rising of the error rate, reduce systematic function, the size of PAPR has direct impact to the multicarrier system performance.Therefore, effectively reduce the PAPR of system, just seem very necessary, this is directly connected to performance and the cost of whole system.
Thus, for the demand to the PAPR that reduces system, one of technology of following the 3G system applies is exactly peak clipping CFR (Crest Factor Reduction, crest factor reduces) technology, this be because, if signal not being carried out CFR processes, can't avoid the non-linear and efficiency of PA, for the performance that promotes the 3G system and the efficient of PA, must pass through in conjunction with the CFR technology, to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of signal, reduce the non-linear mis-behave that causes and Efficiency Decreasing problem due to PA.
In present application, use more CFR technology and mainly contain two kinds: Peak Window CrestFactor Reduction (is called for short: PW-CFR) (be called for short: PC-CFR) with Peak Cancellation Crest Factor Reduction.For the PW-CFR technology, it need not to obtain corresponding carrier frequency point information, and because the inner filter order that uses of CFR is low, the time delay of introducing is also fewer, has certain using value for the lower occasion of ask for something, but due to its peak clipping performance a little less than, reduction PAPR that can only be less, and easily cause out of band spectrum to be revealed, therefore, less use in present application.
And for the PC-CFR technology, due to its peak clipping better performances, be applicable to all standards, and comprise 2G and 3G, applicable too to single carrier and multicarrier, therefore, in present practical application, use more extensively, be one of technology of 3G VS .NET Prerequisites.But the PC-CFR technology also has some to use drawback, it need to know the frequency point information of corresponding carrier wave accurately, so that the form of the filter coefficient combination of adopting in definite PC-CFR, otherwise, if it is improper that the filter coefficient combination is adopted, to produce the channel that there is no carrier wave and disturb, reduce systematic function.
In the Combination application of BBU-RRU, CFR holds for RRU, and be the device that produces signal due to BBU, can know exactly the carrier frequency point information of the signal that self produces, thereby can be by the host-host protocol between BBU and RRU with the carrier frequency point communication to RRU, the RRU end obtains corresponding carrier frequency point information, and the needed filter coefficient combination of CFR can be set accurately, realizes correct CFR function.And for the occasion beyond BBU-RRU, for example: digital RF far-drawing system, digital direct discharging station or digital radio repeater, because the relay of digital high-frequency amplification station or digital radio repeater generally can't obtain corresponding carrier frequency point information, cause can't be correct the combination of the needed filter coefficient of CFR is set, thereby also cause greatly reducing the performance of CFR, directly affect the overall performance of system.
