Background technology
In present mobile communication system, the speed of portable terminal is a very important parameters.If the translational speed of terminal is known in the base station, in carrying out resource management, can optimize a lot of parameters, the performance of system is improved greatly.From the second generation (2G) to the third generation (3G), the 4th generation (4G) cell mobile communication systems, the speed of travelling carriage has obtained application more and more widely, especially with Long Term Evolution (LongTerm Evolution, LTE) system is in the accurate 4G system of representative, the speed of travelling carriage is a key parameter of elevator system performance, the speed of travelling carriage can be used for determine scheduling strategy, downlink transfer pattern to switch and configuration detection reference signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) cycle parameter etc.
In the cell mobile communication systems, common mobile station speed algorithm for estimating mainly is divided into three major types: parameter Estimation class algorithm, non-parametric estmation class algorithm and auxiliary estimation class algorithm.Wherein, the thought of parameter Estimation class algorithm is based on the parameter that some that calculate to receive signal comprise velocity information and calculates maximum doppler frequency, and then obtain translational speed, common parameter comprises: level crossing rate (lcr) (Level Crossing Rate, LCR), zero-crossing rate (Level Crossing Rate, ZCR), auto-correlation coefficient (ACF), auto-covariance (COV) etc.; Non-parametric estmation class algorithm is also referred to as Classical Spectrum to be estimated, it estimates maximum doppler frequency then, and then obtain translational speed by the classical power spectrum of direct method or indirect method acquisition channel; Auxiliary estimation class algorithm comprises: (Global Positioning System, optional equipment GPS) assist algorithm for estimating and assist algorithm for estimating based on the cellular network of power control commands word (TPC), switching (HO) frequency based on global positioning system.
A kind of method relatively more classical in the parameter Estimation class algorithm is LCR algorithm and ZCR algorithm.Wherein, the LCR algorithm calculates the speed of travelling carriage by the envelope level percent of pass of estimating received signal; The ZCR algorithm, the in-phase component by estimating received signal or the zero percent of pass of quadrature component calculate the speed of travelling carriage.Another kind of common method is the ACF algorithm in the parameter Estimation class algorithm.This algorithm is based on classical rayleigh fading channel power spectral density function, derive the corresponding auto-correlation function of classical Rayleigh spectrum, derive then and obtain the relational expression of speed and auto-correlation coefficient, the autocorrelation value substitution relational expression that to utilize the channel fading coefficient to try to achieve then estimates concrete velocity amplitude at last.
Non-parametric estmation class algorithm is divided into direct method and indirect method based on Fourier transform.Direct method is calculated the frequency spectrum of the direct picked up signal of Fourier transform of N data; Indirect method is to calculate the auto-correlation function of N data earlier, calculates the frequency spectrum of the Fourier transform picked up signal of auto-correlation function then.No matter be direct method or indirect method, the non-parametric estmation algorithm all is to calculate maximum doppler frequency, estimates concrete velocity amplitude then.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds to exist in the prior art following technical problem:
In the parameter Estimation class algorithm, it is more serious that the LCR/ZCR algorithm is subjected to The noise, also is subjected to the influence of power control easily, and the complexity of algorithm and precision are all undesirable; Need suppose current channel fading Rayleigh distributed based on the speed estimation algorithms of ACF, thereby measure concrete velocity amplitude, and wireless channel alters a great deal in the actual environment, the general very difficult this distribution of obeying.This method estimates that in the actual wireless channel velocity amplitude that obtains is very inaccurate.
Non-parametric estmation class algorithm requires to obtain equally spaced time-domain sampling point, and computation complexity is higher, and test the speed range limited in available time-domain sampling at interval.Auxiliary estimate in the class algorithm that be subject to the positioning accuracy of GPS itself based on the GPS positioning algorithm based, overhead is big; Relevant with the power control strategy that current system adopts based on the auxiliary algorithm for estimating of the cellular network of TPC, be subject to concrete system configuration.

Referring to Fig. 1, the method for definite moving velocity of terminal that the embodiment of the invention provides specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step 10: the CQI value of the wireless channel between measuring terminals and base station;
Step 11: the LCR value of determining each CQI value of measuring;
Step 12: according to the corresponding relation of predefined LCR value and translational speed, the translational speed of the LCR value correspondence of determining in the determining step 11 is defined as this translational speed the translational speed of terminal.
In the step 10, during the CQI value of the wireless channel between measuring terminals and base station, can be in the setting-up time section with the setting measurement cycle, the CQI value of the wireless channel between measuring terminals and base station.In order to guarantee to measure a plurality of CQI values, the length of this setting-up time section should be greater than the setting measurement cycle.
When the executive agent of step 10-step 12 was the base station, the CQI value of measurement was the CQI value of uplink wireless channel, and when executive agent was terminal, the CQI value of measurement was the CQI value of downlink wireless channel.
In the step 11, determine that the concrete mode of the LCR value of the CQI value that measures can be as follows:
At first, determine the mean value of each CQI value of measuring;
Then, pass through the number of the CQI value of this mean value in each CQI value of determining to measure with positive slope; And the LCR value of the CQI value that this number is defined as measuring.
In the step 12, the corresponding relation of predefined LCR value and translational speed can be the table of comparisons or the control curve of LCR value and translational speed, then can be by searching this table of comparisons or control curve, the translational speed that the LCR value of determining in the determining step 11 is corresponding.This table of comparisons can be concrete interval corresponding relation.The corresponding translational speed of certain LCR value interval [X, Y] km/h for example.Can determine this table of comparisons or control curve by emulation.
In the step 12, the corresponding relation of predefined LCR value and translational speed can also be the functional relation of translational speed and LCR value, then this functional relation of LCR value substitution of determining in the step 11 can be calculated the corresponding translational speed of this LCR value.Specifically can determine this functional relation according to following steps:
For each translational speed in a plurality of translational speeds that arrange, measuring terminals is under this translational speed and the CQI value of the wireless channel between the base station, determines the LCR value of the CQI value that measures;

The mode of CQI information and LCR is carried out combination to this programme and traditional LCR difference is, the mean value of the CQI that the level here refers to.Mainly can be divided into following step:
Step 1: the terminal of some and the CQI value of the wireless channel between the base station in period measurement a period of time;
Step 2: calculate the mean value of the CQI value that measures in a period of time, calculate CQI value in this section period and pass through the number of times of its mean value with positive slope, i.e. the LCR value of CQI, the mean value calculation formula of CQI value is as follows;
Step 3: according to the LCR value that step 2 obtains, determine the translational speed of terminal, its scheme can adopt following two kinds:
Scheme one: determine the translational speed relation of different LCR values and terminal by emulation, form the table of comparisons or the control curve of a LCR and moving velocity of terminal, in realization by tabling look-up or looking into the translational speed that curve can obtain terminal.This table can be concrete interval corresponding relation.Certain LCR value counterpart terminal translational speed [X, Y] km/h for example.
Scheme two: different translational speeds is set, and for each translational speed that arranges, measuring terminals is under this translational speed and the CQI value of the wireless channel between the base station, determines the LCR value of the CQI value that measures; Each LCR value and each translational speed of determining are carried out formula fitting, obtain the functional relation of translational speed and LCR value; Bring the LCR value that calculates in the step 2 into this functional relation, thereby calculate corresponding moving velocity of terminal.
In different systems, the method for measurement of CQI value can be different, are example with the LTE system, and the measurement of CQI comprises following two steps:
Step 1: calculate the signal to noise ratio of each subcarrier, this signal to noise ratio obtains by calculating each subcarrier signals power and noise power;
γ wherein
kIt is the signal to noise ratio of k subcarrier of OFDM symbol; H
kBe the channel impulse response of k subcarrier,
It is noise power;
Step 2: the signal to noise ratio of all subcarriers of corresponding bandwidth is mapped as a CQI value; Mapping method has a variety of, is example with the EESM mapping method:
Wherein, β is a parameter, and it estimates N from the link level simulation result of each link mode (modulation and coding mode)
uBe for the subcarrier number of calculating, CQI
nIt is the channel quality information that records in n cycle.
In said process, the measuring period of CQI and Measuring Time can directly influence precision and the scope of portable terminal tachometric survey, and the measuring period of CQI is more little, and the time of measurement is more long, precision is more high, and this scheme has also been avoided shortcoming affected by noise in traditional LCR and the improvement project thereof simultaneously.
