Embodiment
In connection with accompanying drawing, one exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described hereinafter.All features of actual execution mode are not described for clarity and conciseness, in specification.Yet, should understand, in the process of any this practical embodiments of exploitation, must make a lot of decisions specific to execution mode, to realize developer's objectives, and these decisions may change to some extent along with the difference of execution mode.In addition,, although will also be appreciated that development is likely very complicated and time-consuming, concerning having benefited from those skilled in the art of present disclosure, this development is only routine task.
At this, also it should be noted is that, for fear of the details because of unnecessary fuzzy the present invention, only show in the accompanying drawings with according to the closely-related apparatus structure of the solution of the present invention, and omitted other details little with relation of the present invention.
As mentioned in background technology, neighboring cell search generally includes two stages.In the second stage of neighboring cell search, conventionally adopt relevant detection to detect SSCH.Wherein, use the first stage to detect the PSS obtaining PSCH is carried out to channel estimating the channel estimating using the channel estimation results of this PSCH as SSCH.
For example, Fig. 1 shows the indicative flowchart that obtains the method for auxiliary synchronizing information of the prior art.
As can see from Figure 1, in step 110, utilize candidate's main synchronizing information to generate master sync signal PSS, wherein this main synchronizing information comprises PSS ID and slot timing, in LTE system, this slot timing is for example 5ms slot timing.
In step 120, the signal R of the master sync signal PSS based on generating and the PSCH through frequency domain filtering receiving pSCHpSCH is carried out to channel estimating.
In step 130, the channel estimating of the PSCH based on obtaining in step 120 signal R with the SSCH through frequency domain filtering receiving sSCHdetermine auxiliary synchronizing information, wherein this auxiliary synchronizing information comprises cell group identification Group ID, and circulating prefix-length CP_type and frame are regularly.As can see from Figure 1, in order to determine auxiliary synchronizing information, channel estimating that can be based on PSCH with signal R sSCHbe concerned with and detect tentatively to obtain candidate's auxiliary synchronous signals SSS, and the correlation of the SSS based on these candidates and theoretic each SSS carrys out computing metric in step 150, last in step 160 the auxiliary synchronizing information of relatively carrying out finally to determine candidate of availability value and predetermined threshold value.
It should be noted that, in order to reduce random disturbances, improve signal to noise ratio, PSCH channel estimating in can repeatedly carry out step 120 to the reception signal of continuous a plurality of time slots and/or a plurality of antennas and the relevant detection in step 130 by the result of detection add up (step 170), this dots in Fig. 1, wherein N rthe number that represents antenna.
Finally, output candidate's synchronizing information, this synchronizing information comprises main synchronizing information and auxiliary synchronizing information.
Inventor notices, owing to there are differences between PSCH and SSCH, this relevant detection can bring performance loss, and especially, under tdd frame structure and High-speed Circumstance, performance loss is obvious especially.Another more common application scenarios is different-frequency measure.Measurement space (Gap) based on 5ms while carrying out neighboring cell search under different-frequency measure scene, and PSCH and the interval between SSCH at this, measured in space may be larger, so the difference between them also may be brought performance loss.Although also may adopt incoherent detection algorithm, such as difference correlation is relevant with part, these incoherent detection algorithms can bring the loss of signal to noise ratio (SNR).
the first embodiment
As mentioned above, exactly because there are differences between PSCH and SSCH, so utilize the channel estimation results of PSCH to obtain auxiliary synchronizing information, will inevitably cause error, and in the situation that the difference between PSCH and SSCH is larger, this error is more obvious.Therefore,, in order to overcome this defect, the present invention proposes a kind of method of obtaining improved auxiliary synchronizing information.
Fig. 2 shows the flow chart that obtains the method for improved auxiliary synchronizing information according to an embodiment of the invention.
In step S210, utilize main synchronizing information and auxiliary synchronizing information to generate auxiliary synchronous signals.One skilled in the art will appreciate that in the situation that learning main synchronizing information PSS sign and slot timing and auxiliary synchronizing information CP length, frame timing and cell group identification, can generate the auxiliary synchronous signals SSS corresponding with this main synchronizing information and auxiliary synchronizing information.It should be noted that, this main synchronizing information and auxiliary synchronizing information can be to be generated by additive method step above, or also can for example by user, be inputted from outside input, etc.
In step S220, the auxiliary synchronous signals SSS based on generating estimates auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH, thus the channel response of the estimation of acquisition SSCH.For auxiliary synchronization channel is estimated, can use several different methods.At this, for the purpose of illustrating, to each subcarrier of auxiliary synchronization channel, utilize least square (LS) channel estimation methods to obtain the estimated result of auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH.For example, for k subcarrier of the signal receiving on SSCH channel, its channel estimating can be calculated by following formula:
H ~ SSCH , i ( k ) = R SSCH ( k ) d i ( k ) = R SSCH ( k ) · d i * ( k ) - - - ( 1 )
R wherein sSCH(k) be the signal receiving on k the subcarrier of SSCH, d i *(k) be k element d of corresponding i candidate SSS signal i(k) conjugation.For current LTE system, k=0 for example, 1 ..., 61.
The impact bringing in order to eliminate as far as possible noise, preferably, averages the estimated result of described auxiliary synchronization channel for a plurality of subcarriers of auxiliary synchronization channel, thereby obtains improved estimated result.
For example, can carry out by following formula the channel estimating of computed improved:
H ~ ′ SSCH , i ( k ) = 1 k L + k H + 1 Σ m = k - k L k + k H H ~ SSCH , i ( m ) - - - ( 2 )
K wherein l=min{k, N ave, k h=min{61-k, N ave, and 2 * N aveequal can be used for the maximum number of average subcarrier.In above formula, owing to also having utilized the individual sub-carrier wave of k k around l+ k hthe estimated result of the auxiliary synchronization channel of individual subcarrier is estimated the auxiliary synchronization channel of k subcarrier, thereby has reduced noise effect.Preferably, can further improve (2) formula, to the estimated result of the auxiliary synchronization channel of each subcarrier, give different weights as the case may be, thereby obtain improved estimated result.
After obtaining the estimated result of auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH, in step S230 based on the estimated result of auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH is detected to auxiliary synchronizing information, thereby determine improved auxiliary synchronizing information.
Owing to having utilized in the method the estimated result of SSCH rather than the estimated result of PSCH to detect auxiliary synchronizing information, therefore the estimated result that has overcome the PSCH of utilization of the prior art detects the larger defect of auxiliary synchronizing information time error, has advantageously improved testing result.
Fig. 3 further shows the details of the step S230 of the auxiliary synchronizing information of detection in the method shown in Fig. 2.
In step S2301 first based on to the estimated result of auxiliary synchronization channel to the detection that is concerned with of the reception signal of auxiliary synchronization channel, thereby obtain relevant detection signal.By relevant, calculate, in this relevant detection signal, eliminated the impact of auxiliary synchronization channel.
For example, can calculate relevant detection signal with following formula:
Y SSCH , i ′ ( k ) = R SSCH ( k ) · H ~ * SSCH , i ( k ) , k = 0,1 , . . . 61 - - - ( 3 )
R wherein sSCH(k) be the signal receiving on k the subcarrier of SSCH, it is identical with the reception signal using in (1) formula. it is the channel estimation results for the auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH of k subcarrier conjugation.
In order further to eliminate the impact of noise effect and random fluctuation, preferably, for continuous a plurality of time slots, repeat relevant detection, and/or repeat relevant detection for the reception signal of a plurality of antennas, and by the corresponding relevant testing result obtaining add up, thus the relevant testing result being improved
In step S2303 subsequently, the relevant detection signal obtaining in the auxiliary synchronous signals based on obtaining in step S210 and step S2301 carries out cross-correlation to obtain cross correlation value, and calculates corresponding metric based on cross correlation value.
For example, for i candidate's SSS, can for the even subcarrier SSCH1 in SSCH and strange subcarrier SSCH2, carry out descrambling and associative operation respectively, thereby obtain corresponding correlated results C 1, iand C 2, i.For this reason, for example can utilize fast hadamard transform conventional in this area to realize fast correlation operation.About concrete computational process, belong to technology well known to those skilled in the art, introduce no longer in detail here.
Afterwards, according to the correlation C of the SSCH1 obtaining and SSCH2 1, iand C 2, idetermine associating correlation.Associating correlation can obtain by several different methods, for example, can utilize following formula to obtain associating correlation | C i|, be also about to C 1, iconjugation and C 2, ithe real part of the result that obtains of multiplying each other is asked absolute value, using this absolute value as associating correlation:
|C i|=|Re{C * 1,i·C 2,i}| (4)
Can utilize this associating correlation | C i| as the metric of auxiliary synchronizing information corresponding to i candidate's SSS signal.Yet preferably, calculate the mean value C of the cross correlation value of the relevant detection signal obtaining in a plurality of or whole auxiliary synchronous signals and relevant detecting step ave, i, and the ratio degree of certainty value based on described cross correlation value and mean value.
For example, can utilize the result C of following formula ratio, imetric as auxiliary synchronizing information corresponding to i candidate's SSS signal:
C ratio , i = 10 lg | C i | C ave , i - - - ( 5 )
Here it should be noted that, those skilled in the art can determine different metrics by several different methods as required, and do not affect essence of the present invention.
After obtaining metric, in step S2305, according to metric, determine improved auxiliary synchronizing information.For this reason, obtained metric and predetermined threshold T H can be compared, if metric is greater than (may be to be also less than according to the selection of metric) threshold T H, auxiliary synchronizing information corresponding to corresponding auxiliary synchronous signals is defined as to the auxiliary synchronizing information of improved candidate.

Square frame 430 is corresponding to the step S230 in Fig. 2, wherein the estimated result based on auxiliary synchronization channel and the signal R that receives sSCHdetermine improved candidate's auxiliary synchronizing information.Wherein square frame 440, corresponding to the step S2301 in Fig. 3, utilizes the estimated result of auxiliary synchronization channel and the signal R receiving sSCHthe detection that is concerned with, to eliminate channel effect.Square frame 450 and 460 subsequently corresponds respectively to step S2303 and the S2305 in Fig. 3, for computation measure and definite auxiliary synchronizing information.
For example, owing to may (being assumed to N in Fig. 4 with the signal that a plurality of reception antennas receive auxiliary synchronization channel rindividual), so as can see from Figure 4 respectively to this N rthe signal of individual antenna reception has carried out corresponding calculating (dotting), and adds up in square frame 470.It should be noted that, here cumulative equally also can comprise a plurality of continuous time slots are added up except adding up for a plurality of antennas, as described above.
