The frequency-domain equilibrium method of system and device.
Background technology
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) is a kind of special
Different MCM (Multi-carrier Modulation, multi-carrier modulation) technology, its thought is the data stream of a high speed
Resolve into the sub-stream data of many low rates, and upload defeated at many sub-channels in a parallel fashion, it is provided that allow data with relatively
High speed is in a kind of approach of the channel of bigger delay.MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output, multi input
Multi output) system by sending and receiving end configure multiple antennas, utilize space channel to realize diversity gain or spatial multiplexing gain, do not increasing
In the case of adding system bandwidth, greatly improve capacity and the spectrum efficiency of communication system, be Next-Generation Wireless Communication Systems

Utilize identical running time-frequency resource to communicate, improve the performance of system.
Although by multiuser MIMO, OFDM achieves certain one-tenth in terms of increasing by wireless link transmission data volume
Merit, but, owing to transmitting signal by radio wave, therefore in typical operating environment, the signal that base station receives exists
Multipath, and then owing to multi-path problem result in delay extension.Meanwhile, signal in the transmitting procedure from transmitting terminal to receiving terminal,
Also can receive the various impacts such as non-linear, rain declines, multipath, make the signal of transmission be distorted, cause wave distortion, thus cause
Intersymbol interference.The most general employing balancing technique solves intersymbol interference, thus compensates the signal caused by channel parameter change
Distortion, offsets channel signal transmission decay, can be effective against intersymbol interference simultaneously, reduce error code, improve transfer rate.Equilibrium
Mainly having two Basic Ways, frequency domain equalization and time domain equalization, frequency domain equalization is to make whole system frequency transfer function meet nothing
The condition of distortion transmissionAnd time domain equalization is directly to consider from time response, make to include equilibrium model
Block meets the bar without ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference, intersymbol interference) at the impulse response of interior whole system
Part.
Currently, the research carried out frequency domain equalization (FDE) is the most.Generally by by the operational transformation in time domain to frequency domain
In carry out, to compensate there is the infringement that the multipath channel of long shock response is brought, the complexity of receiver can be reduced simultaneously.
But meanwhile, use which to result in longer equilibrium treatment delay time, and then reduce user's experience.
