To be example with the LTE downlink system below, and describe the present invention in detail and in the LTE downlink system, carry out frequency offset estimating and process regularly.Those skilled in the art are to be understood that; Below the application process of Miao Shuing only is used to set forth scheme of the present invention; And be not used in qualification the present invention; The present invention goes for various employing multicarriers and signal has the wireless communication system of repetitive structure, and reaches the purpose of accurately carrying out frequency offset estimating and timing.
As shown in Figure 2, in the LTE downlink system, the method for the employing embodiment of the invention carries out frequency offset estimating and process regularly is following:
Step 21 is carried out the thick timing of OFDM symbol according to formula (1) and formula (2).In this step, can carry out thick timing based on CP, the CP symbol regularly belongs to auto-correlation processing; Can adapt to certain channel variation; Though the relevant peaks regularly is sharp-pointed inadequately, carry out thick timing offset statistics through adding up of some symbols, can be with timing error Δ T

CP.In order to reduce The noise, after handling, can carry out M symbol according to formula (2) and add up according to formula (1), get maximum, the pairing time location of this maximum is thick timing results K.
Step 22 is accomplished fractional part of frequency offset according to formula (3) and is estimated.In order to remove the influence of timing error in the formula (1), when carrying out the fractional part of frequency offset estimation, can remove the sampled point in the timing error scope through formula (3).
Formula (3)
By means of formula (3), through the error sampled point in the error range is removed, can effectively improve the precision that fractional part of frequency offset is estimated, and then can accurately estimate the frequency deviation result under the situation of decimal frequency bias.The influence that causes when frequency deviation surpasses one-period, that is, exist under the situation of integer frequency offset between LTE OFDM receiving and transmitting signal; Only estimate to obtain correct estimated result through fractional part of frequency offset; Therefore need to continue to carry out subsequent step, that is, carry out integer frequency offset and estimate.

That is to say that search window should comprise the whole error range of thick timing results.
Step 24 is confirmed the maximum search window according to the peak distance of integer frequency offset.Owing to exist under the situation of integer frequency offset, the IFFT conversion that constitutes the ZC sequence of LTE PSS is the ZC sequence of circulation weighting displacement, adds frequency deviation and is equivalent to it is carried out cyclic shift; At this moment; The correlation of PSS is destroyed, and produces secondary lobe, can't distinguish different integer frequency offsets.But because under different integer frequency bias, the position of ZC sequence relevant peaks is different, so can adopt the position difference of relevant peaks to distinguish integer frequency offset.
Suppose when no integer frequency bias; Relevant peaks is positioned at the original position of symbol; Exist under the situation of integer frequency bias; The false relevant peaks distance nearest apart from the symbol original position is D sample value; Wherein, The relevant peaks that D obtains for three ZC sequences that constitute LTE PSS adopt maximum likelihood method to detect when different integer frequency offset (, false peak) and the position, can be through obtaining through calculating and statistics in advance.

In above-mentioned processing, step 22 and step 23 can independently of one anotherly be carried out to 25, that is, step 22 and step 23 also can be that sequencing is carried out to 25 being executed in parallel.And step 24 can also be carried out before step 21.
Step 23,24 and 25 is to confirm the step of search window, and Fig. 3 shows the detailed process of confirming search window, as shown in Figure 3, confirms that the mistake of search window is as follows old:
Step 31 is carried out thick timing based on Cyclic Prefix;
Step 32 is carried out thick timing offset statistics, obtains the error range of thick timing results;
Step 33 according to the error range of thick timing results, is confirmed minimum search window (minimum search window should comprise error range);
Step 34 is carried out integer frequency offset time domain peak distance and is calculated, and, confirms the position at false peak that is;
Step 35 is confirmed the maximum search window according to the position at false peak;
Step 36 is confirmed the actual search window according to minimum search window and the definite maximum search window of step 35 that step 33 is confirmed, and this actual search window can comprise minimum search window, and is contained in the maximum search window.
Wherein, step 31 can independently of one anotherly be carried out to 35 with step 34 to 33, that is, step 31 to 33 with step 34 to 35 being executed in parallel, also can be that sequencing is carried out.
