For ease of understanding, describe with the process of an instantiation below channel estimating of the present invention, see also Fig. 5:
(1), on frequency domain, at first the OFDM channel is carried out the LS channel estimating, obtain the LS estimated result H that N is ordered LS(0)~H LS(N-1);
(2), the LS estimated result carried out IFFT handle, obtain the time domain channel impulse response h of N sampled point on the time domain LS(0)~h LS(N-1);
(3), carry out the selection in zero setting interval according to the time domain channel impulse response of each sampled point;
The selection in concrete zero setting interval sees also Fig. 6, the figure as a result that time domain channel impulse response schematic diagram shown in Figure 6 is based on parameter that following table 1 describes after handling, and sample rate is 10MHz:
Table 1
Figure BDA0000039977140000081
Figure BDA0000039977140000091
In Fig. 6, the number N of sampled point is 64, i.e. 0~63 shown in the figure, and the length L of Cyclic Prefix is 32, the abscissa of Fig. 6 is represented sampled point, total coordinate representation normalization amplitude, and this normalization amplitude can characterize the energy size, the normalization amplitude is big more, and then energy is big more, and vice versa.
As seen in Figure 6, though most concentration of energy on some sampled points of front, several sampled points at end also have more intense energy, and energy leakage has promptly taken place.
In the channel estimation methods of prior art based on DFT filtering, L sampled point before only getting, the equal zero setting of the numerical value of remaining sampled point, as shown in Figure 6, have only the numerical value of 0~No. 31 sampled point to keep in the prior art, and the numerical value zero setting of 32 to No. 63 sampled points, zero setting promptly of the prior art interval is [32 to 63].
Present embodiment determines that in the maximized mode of energy the zero setting interval is that example describes:
Since No. 0 sampled point, calculate continuous 32 sampled points that begin from each sampled point the time domain channel impulse response can duration set.
In the present embodiment, can obtain 64 sampling intervals altogether, 32 sampled points are arranged in each interval, concrete, sampling interval is [0 to 31], [1 to 32], [2 to 33], ... [32 to 63], [33 to 63,0], [34 to 63,0,1], [35 to 63,0 to 2] ... [62 to 63,0 to 29], [63,0 to 30].
From 64 above-mentioned sampling intervals as can be seen, each sampled point all can become the starting point of a sampling interval.
At above-mentioned 64 sampling intervals, calculate the energy sum of the time domain channel impulse response of 32 sampled points in each sampling interval respectively, thereby obtain 64 energy duration sets.
Again 64 energy duration sets are compared afterwards, determine the energy duration set of energy maximum, and determine the pairing sampled point of this energy duration set, in the present embodiment, because some sampled points at end have stronger energy, so when calculating energy is gathered, the energy that includes the sampling interval of end sampled point can be bigger, the sampling interval of supposing the energy duration set of energy maximum is [59 to 63,0 to 26], then remaining 32 sampled points, i.e. [27 to 58], then for treating the sampled point of zero setting, then the interval of the zero setting in the present embodiment is [27 to 58].
Present embodiment is determined the zero setting interval in the maximized mode of energy, is understandable that, in actual applications, can determine the zero setting interval in the mode of energy minimization equally, and detailed process is similar, repeats no more herein.
N the result who obtains after the zero setting is hDFT (0)~hDFT (N-1), and the numerical value that N-L result arranged among this N result is 0.
The process of the zero setting interval selection in the present embodiment can be realized that concrete false code can be as follows by software:
h_improved_dft_matrix=[];
for?ii=1:CP
H_improved_dft_matrix=[h_improved_dft_matrix; [h_improved_dft (1:ii) h_improved_dft (end-(CP-ii)+1:end)]]; // be starting point with each sampled point, calculate the time domain channel impulse response
end
Tmp=sum (abs (h_improved_dft_matrix) .^2,2); // selection ceiling capacity
[val, idx]=max (tmp); // determine the starting point of ceiling capacity correspondence
H_improved_dft=[h_improved_dft (1:idx) zeros (1, N-CP) h_improved_dft (end-(CP-idx)+1:end)]; // zero setting is handled
H_improved_dft=ffh (h_improved_dft); // carry out the FFT processing to obtain channel estimation results
Need to prove that the above-mentioned false code that provides in the present embodiment only is a concrete example, be understandable that, in actual applications, can adopt the false code of other types or the process that program realizes the zero setting interval selection equally, do not do qualification herein.
(4), carry out FFT and handle, obtain OFDM channel estimation results H DFT(0)~H DFT(N-1).
