Description

A kind of method that is used to estimate the noise power of ofdm signal
Technical field
The present invention relates to mobile radio system parameter Estimation field, be specifically related to a kind of method of estimating the noise power of ofdm signal.
Background technology
OFDM (OFDM) is a kind of multi-carrier modulation; It turns to the high-speed bit circulation of serial the parallel bit stream of low speed; The inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) that utilization is simplified; With needing the information transmitted symbol-modulated to each mutually orthogonal subchannel, make the channel in broadband be transformed into more smooth narrow band channel, thereby suppressed intersymbol interference.Owing to can resist frequency selective fading channels, and have the high and balanced advantage such as simple of spectrum efficiency, therefore a lot of communication standards all adopt OFDM to modulate with system, and are used as the key technology of the 4th third-generation mobile communication.Noise power is an important parameters of ofdm system as a kind of index of tolerance channel quality.The document of research ofdm system noise power estimation at present is many, mainly can be divided into two big types, and a kind of algorithm for estimating that is based on synchronous head or pilot tone, another kind are the blind estimations technique.Though blind estimation does not need given data, its algorithm need be than intensive, and convergence rate is slow, so great majority research all is based on synchronous head or pilot tone.
The OFDM synchronous head, be present in front in each OFDM frame one or several to sending and receive all known OFDM symbol of both sides, it is mainly used in synchronously and channel estimating, also can be used for estimating noise power.During Project Realization, OFDM symbol both sides be several 0, as boundary belt, prevent adjacent band interference.Pilot tone then is the subcarrier that is distributed in some ad-hoc location in the OFDM data symbol, and the data on these aspects of transmitting terminal are known.Pilot tone is divided into Comb Pilot and block pilot tone; And synchronous head also is divided into single synchronous head and many synchronous heads, under the situation of single synchronous head, also can be divided into time domain symmetry and the asymmetric situation of time domain.
In ofdm system, the data of a frame of transmitting terminal are following at frequency domain representation:
c 0,0 L c 0 , n L c 0 , N - 1 M M M c m , 0 L c m , n L c m , N - 1 M M M c M - 1,0 L c M - 1 , n L c M - 1 , N - 1
Wherein, N is the number of ofdm system subcarrier, also is counting of FFT, IFFT; M is the OFDM symbolic number that a frame contains; c M, nBe the data on m OFDM symbol, the n number of sub-carrier.
Adding the Cyclic Prefix long enough and the fully synchronous prerequisite of system under, signal is added additive white Gaussian noise advancing multipath channel, then receives signal and can be expressed as at frequency domain:
Y m,n=H m,nc m,nm,n
Wherein, H M, nBe the frequency domain response of channel, η M, nBe additive white Gaussian noise, c M, nSignal for energy normalized.
The frequency domain response of channel is obtained by following formula:
H m , n = Σ p = 1 P h p ( mT s ) e - j 2 π nτ p NT s
Wherein, h p(mT s) be the gain of p paths, τ pBe path delay, T sBe the OFDM symbol period.
In the prior art, mainly be how in Boumard algorithm and REN algorithm, to have mentioned the noise power of estimating ofdm system based on synchronous head and pilot configuration.
The Boumard algorithm is S.Boumard the author, and thesis topic is, and " Novel noise variance and SNR estimation algorithm for wireless MIMO OFDM systems " is published in Global Telecommunications Conference; 2003.GLOBECOM ' 03.IEEE, 2003, above the paper of pp.1330-1334vol.3; And the author appoints light, Luo Meiling, Chang Yilin; Thesis topic is " an ofdm system SNR estimation new method ", is published in above the paper of Xian Electronics Science and Technology University's journal (natural science edition) in October, 2007 (34 volume, the fifth phase); Write up is all arranged, comprises following step:
Step 1:, mainly may further comprise the steps to receiving the preliminary treatment that termination is collected mail and ceased:
Step 1-1: it is N that each OFDM symbol is removed the sequence front end length CpCyclic Prefix (CP) obtains time-domain information, and is following with matrix notation:
X = x 0,0 L x 0 , n L x 0 , N - 1 M M M x m , 0 L x m , n L x m , N - 1 M M M x M - 1,0 L x M - 1 , n L x M - 1 , N - 1
Step 1-2: will be carried out N point FFT computing by the time-domain information that step 1-1 obtains, N is that FFT counts, and the frequency domain information that obtains is following with matrix notation:
Y = y 0,0 L y 0 , n L y 0 , N - 1 M M M y m , 0 L y m , n L y m , N - 1 M M M y M - 1,0 L y M - 1 , n L y M - 1 , N - 1
Step 1-3: from the frequency domain information that step 1-2 obtains, take out the information in the synchronous head, be divided into following 2 steps:
Step 1-3-1: from the matrix that step 1-2 obtains, take out the N that belongs to synchronous head pIndividual OFDM symbol:
Y = y i 0 , 0 L y i 0 , n L y i 0 , N - 1 M M M y i m , 0 L y i m , n L y i m , N - 1 M M M y i N p - 1 , 0 L y i N p - 1 , n L y i N p - 1 , N - 1
Step 1-3-2: respectively from the N of step 1-3-1 pIn the row sequence, remove left side boundary belt N B1Individual point, the right boundary belt N B2Individual point and Y I, n/2(0 frequency) to one group of new sequence, is expressed as following matrix form:
Z = y i 0 , N b 1 L y i 0 , N / 2 - 1 y i 0 , N / 2 + 1 L y i 0 , N - N b 2 M M M M y i m , N b 1 y i m , N / 2 - 1 y i m , N / 2 + 1 y i m , N - N b 2 M M M M y i N p - 1 , N b 1 L y i N p - 1 , N / 2 - 1 y i N p - 1 , N / 2 + 1 L y i N p - 1 , N - N b 2 = z 0,0 L z 0 , j L z 0 , J - 1 M M M z i , 0 L z i , j L z i , J - 1 M M M z N p - 1,0 L z N p - 1 , j L z N p - 1 , J - 1
Equality the right Z matrix is the redetermination symbol, and J is the length of each synchronous head useful data, J=N-N B1-N B2-1.
Step 1-4: according to the sampling mode of step 1-3, take out the useful sequence the synchronous head, represent following matrix from known transmitting terminal data:
D = d 0,0 L d 0 , j L d 0 , J - 1 M M M d i , 0 L d i , j L d i , J - 1 M M M d N p - 1,0 L d N p - 1 , j L d N p - 1 , J - 1 = c i 0 , N b 1 L c i 0 , N / 2 - 1 c i 0 , N / 2 + 1 L c i 0 , N - N b 2 M M M M c i m , N b 1 c i m , N / 2 - 1 c i m , N / 2 + 1 c i m , N - N b 2 M M M M c i N p - 1 , N b 1 L c i N p - 1 , N / 2 - 1 c i N p - 1 , N / 2 + 1 L c i N p - 1 , N - N b 2
The D matrix is the redetermination symbol, the useful data of expression transmitting terminal.

The above-mentioned noise power calculation formula of Boumard algorithm has used assumed condition: adjacent sub-carrier channel frequency response approximately equal, i.e. H M, n-1≈ H M, n, the prerequisite that it is set up is that the time delay expansion is less.But the multipath number of a lot of wireless channels is many, and the time delay expansion is bigger, at this moment can not obtain H M, n-1≈ H M, n, this can cause the Boumard algorithm performance sharply to descend.
The REN algorithm is to appoint light, Chang Yilin the author, and thesis topic is " SNR estimation algorithm based onthe preamble for OFDM systems in frequency selective channels, "; Be published in Communications; IEEE Transactions on, vol.57, pp.2230-2234; 2009. paper above write up is arranged, comprise following step:
Step 1: to receiving the collect mail preliminary treatment of breath of termination, identical with aforesaid Boumard algorithm steps 1;
Step 2: two the new matrix Z and D that obtains from step 1, choose the wherein data of first row and second row, even i=0,1, the noise power of computing system:

Work as d I, j=0 o'clock, Y ' I, j=v I, j
Figure BSA00000627483700045
Expression is to d I, jGet conjugation.
The utilization of REN algorithm has two restrictive conditions, one of which, and it need use two synchronous heads that structure is identical, because it need subtract each other with the Y ' on the same sub-carrier of different cycles, i.e. Y ' I, j, Y ' I+1, j, with the cancellation channel frequency response; Its two, the channel frequency response at different OFDM symbol same sub-carrier place is wanted approximately equal, i.e. H M, n≈ H M+1, n≈ H nBut the structure of two synchronous heads maybe be inequality when practical application; In addition, the REN algorithm has two weak points: one of which, and along with the increase of channel maximum doppler frequency, it is big that the time selective fading of channel becomes, and the channel coefficients of different OFDM symbol same sub-carrier can change, and at this moment they can not approximately equal; Its two, if two synchronous heads other OFDM symbol at interval then still can exist between their channel coefficients than big-difference, also can influence the performance of REN algorithm.
We find through a large amount of experiments: the difference of two channel frequency responses of different OFDM mark space same sub-carrier is comparatively approaching, and the difference of the adjacent sub-carrier of adjacent OFDM symbol is minimum, i.e. (H M, n-H M, n+1)-(H M+1, n-H M+1, n+1) ≈ 0, we just can offset the error amount of sub-carrier channels frequency response with such 4 points of adjacent sub-carrier same or the two adjacent OFDM symbol like this, and the error that it brings is littler.
