Abstract

The invention discloses an OFDM/OQAM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) system and a time frequency synchronization method thereof. The time frequency synchronization method comprises the following steps of: a coarse synchronization estimating step for estimating an estimated frequency offset value of a received baseband receiving signal frame sequence; a frequency offset compensating step for compensating the frequency offset of the received base band receiving signal frame sequence by using the estimated frequency offset value obtained by the coarse synchronization estimating step; a fine synchronization estimating step for estimating an estimated time offset value of r2 (KTS) obtained by the frequency offset compensating step; and a time offset compensating step for compensating the time offset of the r2 (kTS) obtained by the frequency offset compensating step by using the estimated time offset value obtained by the fine synchronization estimating step so as to obtain r3 (kTS). In the invention, one-step synchronization is divided into two steps including coarse synchronization and fine synchronization; and the frequency offset of the baseband receiving signal frame sequence is first compensated by using the estimated frequency offset value obtained in the coarse synchronization and then the fine synchronization is carried out by using the compensated signal to obtain a final estimated time offset value so that the influence of CFO (Carrier Frequency Offset) during the fine synchronization is minimized and the time offset estimation accuracy and the acquisition probability are improved.

Technical field

The invention belongs to the mobile communication technology field, be particularly related to a kind of OFDM (OFDM/OQAM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing/Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) system and time-frequency synchronization method thereof of staggered quadrature amplitude modulation.

Background technology

Because wireless user's improving constantly transmission rate request, multi-carrier modulation technology has become the main flow modulation system of present radio communication, as based on conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CP-OFDM, the Cyclic Prefix-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology of Cyclic Prefix with regard to selected be key technology in the LTE standard.And for CP-OFDM, OFDM/OQAM has higher spectrum efficiency, better time-frequency focus characteristics, and for overcoming intersymbol interference (ISI, Inter-Symbol Interference) and inter-carrier interference (ICI, Inter-Carrier Interference) influence has good effect to a certain extent, the latter particularly becomes OFDM/OQAM with respect to one of main advantage of CP-OFDM.The transmission signal of OFDM/OQAM system is real-valued, takes from real part and the imaginary part of complex symbol to be passed, and with respect to traditional ofdm system, OFDM/OQAM only satisfies strict orthogonality condition in real number field; Optional usefulness has the isotropism orthogonal transform function (IOTA, Isotropic Orthogonal Transform Algorithm) that good time-frequency focuses on (TFL, Time Frequency Localization) characteristic.

Use the OFDM/OQAM system sending end structure schematic diagram of traditional time-frequency combination method of estimation as shown in Figure 1.Comprise signal source module, normal signal processing module, orthogonalization phase mapping module, N point IFFT module, shaping filter module, D/A modular converter, up-conversion module.

For the convenience of describing, at first introduce wherein used term:

(1) shaping filter function g (t) is at interval t ∈ { 0, T _s..., (N _g-1) T _sOn get nonzero value, N wherein _g=ξ T/T _sFor non-zero sample is counted, ξ is the tap number of shaping filter function, T _sBe the systematic sampling time interval, T is the symbol time interval.

(2) frequency domain synchronizing pilot symbol is by the N of continuous transmission _TRIndividual OFDM symbol constitutes (N _TRAt least bigger 2 than the tap number ξ of shaping filter function, could guarantee so partly has the repetition frequency pilot sign through the time domain pilot of transmitting terminal modulation), be about to frequency domain repetition frequency pilot sign and be expressed as a _l(p)=a _l ^TR, l=0 ..., N-1, p=0 ..., N _TR-1, wherein N represents sub-carrier number, and l represents the sequence number of subcarrier, and p represents the frequency pilot sign sequence number.Through the time-domain pilot signal s after the modulation of transmitting terminal _TR(kT _s), k ∈ 0,1,2 ..., N _TRN-1} is at transmission N _gAfter 2 sampled points of-N, at interval k ∈ { N of the moment _g-N/2 ..., N _TRN-N-1} satisfies relational expression s _TR(kT _s+ NT _s)=s _TR(kT _s).

(3) the baseband receiving signals frame sequence is r (kT _s), k ∈ 0,1,2 ..., τ ∈ 0,1 ..., inclined to one side actual value when N/4} is, For the time inclined to one side estimated value,

Be the frequency deviation estimated value,

Be correlated series, For asking phase angular operator, τ _MaxBe the multipath channel maximum delay, D is the summation window length of sliding.

At first carry out initialization process: in the register of transmitting terminal (travelling carriage) and receiving terminal (base station), store identical transmission pilot frequency sequence, and will send time domain pilot sequence s at receiving terminal _TR(kT _s) ξ N+1 to the (N _TR-1) N data save as the transmission consensus sequence, in the identical shaping filter sequence of function of transmitting-receiving two-end storage, and set up corresponding rule.Concrete treatment step is as follows:

Step 11. signal source module produces data bit and does coding through the normal signal processing module, quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), obtain complex data after, framing and to add length at front end be N _TRFrequency domain repeat frequency pilot sign a _l(p)=a _l ^TR, l=0 ..., N-1, p=0 ..., N _TR-1, then carry out real imaginary component from;

Step 12. is carried out the orthogonalization phase mapping by orthogonalization phase mapping module respectively by the real imaginary part of the data that step 11 obtains;

Step 13. is done anti-fast Fourier transform (IFFT, Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) by the data of step 12 by N point IFFT module, finishes multi-carrier modulation;

The data that step 14. is obtained by step 13 by the shaping filter module, are finished the signal moulding, and the string conversion;

Step 15. is transmitted by data process D/A modular converter, up-conversion module that step 14 obtains.

As typical multi-carrier modulation, OFDM/OQAM has the general character of a multi-carrier modulation technology, namely be subject to carrier frequency shift (CFO, Carrier Frequency Offset) and the influence of time migration, the main cause that CFO produces is because the oscillator of transmitting-receiving two-end is stable and accurate inadequately, the frequency that produces is deviation to some extent, and then has destroyed the orthogonality between subcarrier, and then has introduced ISI and ICI.And owing to do not add CP, in case synchronism deviation occurs, whole discrete Fourier (DFT, Discrete Fourier Transform) window will misplace, and causes the interference that is difficult to recover, so partially also very responsive when OFDM/OQAM is.

In order to obtain reasonable systematic function, frequency deviation is estimated all to have than higher precision in the time of just must guaranteeing.T.Fusco, A.Petrella and M.Tanda " Data-Aided Symbol Timing and CFO Synchronization for Filter Bank Multicarrier Systems[J] .IEEE Trans.Wireless Commun.; May2009; 8 (5): 2705-2715.
