Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described in further detail.
Embodiment one
The present embodiment provides a kind of channel estimation methods that is used for amplitude-limiting OFDM system based on virtual pilot frequency, the nonlinear distortion information in the data estimator symbol of this channel estimation methods iteration, and this nonlinear distortion information is used for data decision; Then general's partial data symbol subsequently as virtual pilot frequency, obtains more accurate channel estimated value again, estimates simultaneously the nonlinear distortion information of more accurate data symbol; At last, with above-mentioned channel again estimated value and more accurate nonlinear distortion information feed back to the reception signal processing unit, re-start channel equalization and symbol judgement.
The specific implementation process of the channel estimation methods that is used for amplitude-limiting OFDM system based on virtual pilot frequency of the present invention is as follows:
If the time-domain expression of OFDM symbol is:
The frequency domain presentation of supposing x (n) is X (k), and frequency domain signal X (k) is independent identically distributed stochastic variable, when sub-carrier number N is very large, according to central-limit theorem, approximate multiple Gaussian Profile, its whose amplitude obeys rayleigh distributed of obeying of its time-domain signal x (n).
For suppressing the peak-to-average force ratio of ofdm signal, usually transmitted signal is carried out limit filtration, the limit filtration expression formula is:
The equal inhibiting rate in definition peak is
According to the Bussgang theorem, through the stationary Gaussian process of a memoryless nonlinear system, the decay that can be expressed as inputting and incoherent distortion component sum.The output through the OFDM of limit filtration symbol can be expressed as:
x
g(n)=αx(n)+d(n) (3)
Wherein, α is the constant that depends on the equal inhibiting rate γ in peak, and d (n) is the nonlinear distortion of signal, and x (n) and d (n) are incoherent mutually, wherein
Limit filtration comprises interference two parts in out-of-band radiation and band to the impact of useful signal.Out-of-band radiation can pass through the low pass filter filtering; And the impact of disturbing in band is embodied in two aspects: amplitude fading and nonlinear noise disturb.Traditional receiver can't compensate the hydraulic performance decline that causes due to this nonlinear noise.
The fundamental block diagram of ofdm system as shown in Figure 1.Supposes that ofdm system is Time and Frequency Synchronization, and without intersymbol interference (ISI), become when the channel in single OFDM symbol period is non-, and the channel between the OFDM symbol becomes when being, remove Cyclic Prefix, and the reception signal that carries out after the FFT conversion is:
Y=diag(αX+D)H+Z (5)
Wherein, X is data to be transmitted, and D is the nonlinear distortion that amplitude limit causes, and H is the multipath channel frequency domain response in symbol period, and Z is additive white Gaussian noise, and X and D are incoherent.
OFDM receiving end signal handling process as shown in Figure 1, at first the reception signal after synchronous removes Cyclic Prefix, implements the FFT conversion, then carries out Amplitude Compensation; Then extract pilot frequency information the signal after Amplitude Compensation, carry out initial channel estimation.Receive signal through after channel equalization, enter nonlinear distortion compensation unit elimination nonlinear distortion noise, and send into and carry out symbol judgement in decision device.Data after judgement are reformulated the OFDM symbol, and again experience the limit filtration identical with transmitting terminal after the IFFT conversion.At last, utilize pilot frequency sequence and partial data symbol to carry out the estimation again of channel, estimate simultaneously the nonlinear distortion information of data symbol.Estimate that again the channel information that obtains is used for carrying out channel equalization in next circulation, nonlinear distortion information is used for the nonlinear noise of offset data symbol.Along with the increase of iterations, the channel information of estimation and nonlinear distortion information will be more and more accurate, and data decision also will be more and more reliable.Concrete channel estimation process can be divided into initial estimation and iterative estimate two parts.
Initial channel estimation procedure is as follows:
There is certain amplitude fading in OFDM symbol after limit filtration.Before signal processing and channel estimating, at first to carry out Amplitude Compensation, the reception signal after compensation is:
Y
c=α
-1Y=diag(X+α
-1D)H+α
-1Z (6)
In following formula, α is constant, and it is relevant with the equal inhibiting rate in peak.
Initial channel estimation adopts the LS algorithm, then calculates the response of all subchannels by interpolation algorithm.Through the LS algorithm for estimating, the channel response at pilot sub-carrier place is:
The channel response at expression pilot sub-carrier place, subscript p represents traditional pilot tone, X
pExpression pilot sub-carrier sequence.By interpolation algorithm, the channel estimation value that obtains all subcarriers places is:
In following formula, the interpolation algorithm that FLTR () expression is common comprises the DFT interpolation, linear interpolation, polynomial interopolation etc.
The iterative channel estimation process is as follows:
The mean square error of channel estimation value is relevant with the number p of pilot frequency carrier wave.Along with the increase of p, the mean square error of the channel estimation value trend that tapers off.Therefore, the number of suitable increase pilot sub-carrier in amplitude-limiting OFDM system can effectively reduce the evaluated error of channel.But in real system, the number of pilot sub-carrier is limited, has restricted the performance of channel estimating.In order to increase the number of pilot tone, to promote channel estimating performance, the present invention has introduced the concept of virtual pilot frequency.After initial channel estimation was completed, the present invention utilized the initial channel information of estimation to carry out channel equalization, then adjudicated the data symbol that obtains transmitting.And some or all of data symbol will be for the estimation again of current channel.The present invention is called virtual pilot frequency with this data symbol.Traditional pilot tone (actual pilot) number of supposing current system is p, and the virtual pilot frequency number of estimating again for channel is P
v, total number of pilots of system is:
P′=P+P
v (9)
If traditional pilot frequency sequence of system is X
p, the virtual pilot frequency of estimating again for channel is
The new pilot frequency sequence that is comprised of both is X '
pIf
For the nonlinear distortion information of hybrid pilot sequence (comprising traditional pilot tone and virtual pilot frequency) of estimation, utilize the LS algorithm to carry out channel and estimate again, the response that obtains hybrid pilot carrier wave place is:
In formula (10),
Be non-linear residual noise, Δ X
pBe the residual noise of hybrid pilot sequence, it is that error diffusion by virtual pilot frequency causes.Work as P
vDuring=N-P, all data symbols all are used for channel estimating, and channel response only is subjected to the impact of the error diffusion of virtual pilot frequency.And work as P
v=0 o'clock, data symbol did not participate in channel estimating, and channel response only is subject to the impact of the remaining nonlinear noise of pilot frequency sequence.
Suppose that virtual pilot frequency is desirable, namely do not have error diffusion, formula (10) can be reduced to:
But in real system, data symbol is might be misjudged.If in last iterative cycles, the virtual pilot frequency symbol of judgement is wrong, can draw error diffusion, causes the convergence rate of Iterative Method even can't restrain slowly.Especially when system works during at the higher environment of the error rate, algorithm performance reduces even more serious.In order to reduce the impact of error diffusion, accelerate convergence of algorithm speed, the present invention has further improved the channel estimation method based on virtual pilot frequency.As shown in Figure 2, the channel response at virtual pilot frequency subcarrier place is by virtual pilot frequency with traditional pilot tone is common determines.
Limit in the width ofdm system, the nonlinear distortion of traditional pilot frequency sequence is
If utilize merely traditional pilot frequency sequence to carry out channel estimating, the channel response at pilot sub-carrier place is:
Wherein,
Be the traditional pilot frequency sequence after amplitude limit of estimating,
Nonlinear distortion for traditional pilot frequency sequence of estimating.By interpolation algorithm, the channel response that interpolation obtains hybrid pilot subcarrier place is
And the channel response at the hybrid pilot subcarrier place that is derived by virtual pilot frequency
By the formula mistake! Do not find Reference source.Determine the channel estimating at the virtual pilot frequency place after improving
For:
In following formula, c (k) is the confidence level parameter of virtual pilot frequency, and k is the sequence number of pilot tone.When c (k) was 1, virtual pilot frequency was fully believable; And when c (k) was 0, virtual pilot frequency was fully insincere, and channel estimation value depends on traditional pilot tone fully.By adjusting the value of confidence level parameter c (k), the channel estimation value that can be optimized.In the present invention, c (k) can get c (k)=| X
d(k) |
2/ (| X
p(k) |
2+ | X
d(k) |
2), X wherein
d(k) expression data subcarrier.
At last, according to the channel estimation value at hybrid pilot subcarrier place
Interpolation calculation obtains the channel value of all carrier waves, simultaneously, further estimates the nonlinear distortion information of more accurate data symbol.And the nonlinear distortion information of the channel value that estimates and data symbol together feeds back to the reception signal processing unit, is used for obtaining more reliable data decision in next circulation.
At first the method for the invention eliminates the nonlinear noise in data symbol, and carries out the symbol hard decision.And the partial data symbol after judgement is taken as virtual pilot frequency, and channel response is reappraised.While is data estimator symbol nonlinear distortion information further, and feed back to the reception signal processing unit.This process will continue circulation always goes down, until iteration finishes.
The performing step of the described channel estimation methods that is used for amplitude-limiting OFDM system based on virtual pilot frequency of the present embodiment can be summarized as:
