Description

A kind of symbol timing synchronization method of ofdm system
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, relate in particular to a kind of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, i.e. orthogonal frequency division multiplexi) symbol timing synchronization method of system.
Background technology
Ofdm system is a kind of multicarrier modulation system, and its technical essential is that channel is divided into several orthogonal sub-channels, then high-speed data signal is converted to parallel low speed sub data flow, is modulated at each subchannel again and transmits; This system has strong, the availability of frequency spectrum advantages of higher of ability of anti-multipath, therefore extensive use in communication engineering.
The data sync of ofdm system mainly comprises: sign synchronization (being frame synchronization), carrier frequency synchronization and sampling clock are synchronous.Sign synchronization is the key component of ofdm system, and the deviation of sign synchronization not only can cause intersymbol interference (Inter Symbol Interference is abbreviated as ISI usually), and may influence the normal transmission of subcarrier.
At present, the symbol timing synchronization method of OFDM mainly is divided three classes in the prior art: one is based on training sequence (Training Sequence, usually be abbreviated as TS) symbol timing synchronization method, two are based on the symbol timing synchronization method of Cyclic Prefix, the 3rd, do not use the symbol timing synchronization method of auxiliary data.In the symbol timing synchronization method based on training sequence, symbol timing synchronization method based on time-domain training sequence is most widely used, its technical essential is the autocorrelation according to time-domain training sequence, by detecting the position at auto-correlation peak, accurately orient the start-stop position of OFDM symbol, to realize the sign synchronization of OFDM.
Physical layer frame structure with the IEEE802.11a/g/n/p standard is example below, and the symbol timing synchronization method based on time-domain training sequence in the prior art is described in detail.As shown in Figure 1, adopt the STS(Short Training Sequence of 10 groups of cycles repetitions, i.e. short training sequence): t1~t10 is as the auxiliary sequencel of symbol timing synchronization method, and the length of every group of STS is 16 sampling periods; The STS that 10 groups of cycles that directly will receive repeat and the local known STS of 1 winding receiving end carry out auto-correlation computation, thereby obtain 10 auto-correlation peaks as shown in Figure 2; Just can determine the position that STS finishes by the position of detecting these 10 auto-correlation peaks, and then just can obtain the start-stop position of OFDM symbol according to the physical layer frame structure of IEEE802.11a/g/n/p standard fixed, thereby realize the sign synchronization of OFDM.
There is following shortcoming at least in above-mentioned OFDM symbol timing synchronization method of the prior art:
On hardware was realized, the maximum that detects serial input data not only very expended hardware resource, and needs logical circuit and the control circuit of more complicated.In order to save hardware resource, to simplify hardware designs, can adopt decision threshold to detect the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value, autocorrelation value is about to autocorrelation value (so-called autocorrelation value refers to the result of auto-correlation computation) and compares with decision threshold, if can assert then that greater than decision threshold this autocorrelation value is the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value; But because symbol timing synchronization method of the prior art is directly TS and the local known TS that receives to be carried out auto-correlation computation, therefore resulting autocorrelation value can be subjected to the influence of channel fading and interchannel noise and produce dynamic change, especially the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value is easy to be flooded by interchannel noise under fading channel or low signal-to-noise ratio situation, and this makes symbol timing synchronization method of the prior art to finish symbol synchronization process by setting a fixing decision threshold.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is clearly and completely described; Obviously, described embodiment only is the present invention's part embodiment, rather than whole embodiment.Based on embodiments of the invention, those of ordinary skills belong to protection scope of the present invention not making the every other embodiment that obtains under the creative work prerequisite.
At first need to prove, its scope of application of the symbol timing synchronization method of the ofdm system that the embodiment of the invention provides is not limited to the IEEE802.11a/g/n/p standard, as long as the frame head targeting sequencing has adopted the N group TS that cycle with good autocorrelation repeats, so just can adopt the symbol timing synchronization method of the ofdm system that the embodiment of the invention provides.
The symbol timing synchronization method of the ofdm system that the embodiment of the invention is provided is described in detail below.
As shown in Figure 3, a kind of symbol timing synchronization method of ofdm system specifically can may further comprise the steps:
The first step, the current sampled value that receives and the sampled value of respectively organizing correspondence position among the training sequence TS that receives are before added up, obtain the post-sampling value that adds up of current sampled value.
Particularly, comprise in the frame structure with OFDM that the N group cycle TS of repetition is example, the specific embodiments of this step can comprise:
If the current sampled value that receives is k sampled value, and this sampled value belongs to the individual sampled value of l(l among the n group TS≤L), then this sampled value and l the sampled value of respectively organizing among the TS that receive before added up, and its formula is as follows:
Figure BDA00003305858900051
Wherein, R kRepresent the post-sampling value that adds up of k sampled value, L represents the length of every group of TS; When j=0, r (k-Lj)Represent k sampled value, i.e. l sampled value among the n group TS; When j=1,2 ...,
Figure BDA00003305858900052
The time, r (k-Lj)(k-Lj) individual sampled value of receiving before the expression, n-1, the n-2 that receives before namely ..., l sampled value among 1 group of TS.Not only can effectively level and smooth additivity random noise through the accumulation process of this step, and can guarantee the accuracy of next step quantification treatment.
Second the step, the post-sampling value that adds up of current sampled value is carried out quantification treatment, obtain the quantification post-sampling value of current sampled value.
Particularly, the specific embodiments of this step can comprise: extract real part and the imaginary part of the post-sampling value that adds up from the post-sampling value that adds up of current sampled value, and judge the add up real part of post-sampling value and the magnitude relationship of imaginary part and 0 respectively:
If add up real part>0 of post-sampling value, the real part of the post-sampling value that then will add up is quantified as+and 1;
Real part<0 of post-sampling value if add up, the real part of the post-sampling value that then will add up is quantified as-1;
If add up imaginary part>0 of post-sampling value, the imaginary part of the post-sampling value that then will add up is quantified as+and 1;
Imaginary part<0 of post-sampling value if add up, the imaginary part of the post-sampling value that then will add up is quantified as-1.
For example: the post-sampling value that adds up is 1.534-0.234i, and belonging to part in fact is 1.534, and imaginary part is-0.234; Because 1.534>0, thus real part be quantified as+1; Because-0.234<0, so imaginary part is quantified as-1; Through after the quantification treatment of this step, this post-sampling value corresponding quantitative post-sampling value that adds up is 1-1i.
Need to prove, not only can effectively remove the amplitude information that receives in the signal through the quantification treatment of this step, eliminate channel fading to the sign synchronization Effect on Performance, and the resulting autocorrelation value of next step auto-correlation computation is distributed in the fixing dynamic range, this not only is conducive to the setting of fixed sentence threshold values, and can realize saving all complex multipliers at hardware, and then have saved hardware resource, simplified hardware designs.
The 3rd step, the quantification post-sampling value of the quantification post-sampling value of current sampled value and the sampled value that receives before is combined into one group of TS, and this TS and local known TS are carried out auto-correlation computation, obtain the autocorrelation value of current sampled value.
Particularly, the specific embodiments of this step can comprise:
If the current sampled value that receives is k sampled value, and the length of every group of TS is L, then with the quantification post-sampling value of k sampled value and the k-1, the k-2 that receive before ..., the individual sampled value of k-(L-1) quantification post-sampling value be combined into one group of TS, and this TS and local known TS carried out auto-correlation computation, its formula is as follows:
C k = Σ l ′ = 0 L - 1 Q k - l ′ · P L - l ′ *
Wherein, C kThe autocorrelation value of representing k sampled value, L represents the length of every group of TS, Q K-l'The quantification post-sampling value of representing k-l' sampled value,
Figure BDA00003305858900062
The complex conjugate of representing L-l' the value of local known TS; When l'=0, Q K-l'The quantification post-sampling value of representing k sampled value,
Figure BDA00003305858900063
The complex conjugate of representing L the value of local known TS; When l'=1,2 ..., during L-1, Q K-l'Represent k-1, k-2 ..., the individual sampled value of k-(L-1) quantification post-sampling value,
Figure BDA00003305858900071
Represent local known TS L-1, L-2 ..., 1 value complex conjugate.
The 4th step, the autocorrelation value of current sampled value is carried out modulo operation and square operation successively, obtain the autocorrelation value of current sampled value behind the delivery square.
Particularly, symbol timing synchronization method of the prior art is directly TS and the local known TS that receives to be carried out auto-correlation computation, then the result of auto-correlation computation is asked successively and just can carry out peak value behind modular arithmetic and the square root calculation and detect, but the extraction of square root computing extremely expends hardware resource; And the symbol timing synchronization method in this step can make the cross-correlation peak-to-peak value less than 1 littler, auto-correlation peak-to-peak value greater than 1 is bigger, thereby widened the isolation strip width between auto-correlation peak-to-peak value and the cross-correlation peak-to-peak value, this not only can further eliminate interchannel noise, and can set the fixed sentence threshold values more easily.
Whether the 5th step, the autocorrelation value of current sampled value behind the delivery square and default fixed sentence threshold values are compared, be auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position thereby determine current sampled value position.
Wherein, in actual applications, default fixed sentence threshold values can adopt following method to determine:
Because ofdm system is when initial designs, just selected specific TS as the known local TS(of transmitting-receiving two-end be transmitting terminal and receiving terminal all with this TS as the known TS in this locality), therefore with this TS and self carry out auto-correlation computation and just can obtain an autocorrelation value, this autocorrelation value is exactly the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value under the ecotopia; Behind the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value of learning under the ecotopia, can be according to the interchannel noise situation of actual estimated or measurement, with 0.80~0.90 times (preferably 0.85 times) of the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value under the ecotopia fixed sentence threshold value as this ofdm system.For example, in the IEEE802.11a/p agreement, if one group of STS comprises 16 sampled values as shown in table 1 below, so this STS and self carry out auto-correlation computation after, auto-correlation peak-to-peak value under the ecotopia that obtains is 0.2032, then under white Gaussian noise channel (being awgn channel), the fixed sentence threshold value of this ofdm system can be got 0.2032*0.85=0.1727.In actual applications, after the fixed sentence threshold value of this ofdm system is initially determined, can be by carrying out the accuracy that the test of many times signal transmits to verify this fixed sentence threshold value at channel, also can carry out the fine setting of appropriateness as the case may be, to guarantee to possess reliable sign synchronization performance after ofdm system drops into normal the use.

Particularly, last value of 1 group of TS that if the current sampled value that receives is transmitting terminal just to be sent, resulting autocorrelation value can be greater than default fixed sentence threshold values after the processing in these sampled value process four steps of the first step to the so, it is the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value that this autocorrelation value just can be regarded as, and namely Ci Shi current sampled value position is auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position.Last value of 1 group of TS that if the current sampled value that receives is not transmitting terminal to be sent, but the value of other parts of TS or the noise in the channel, resulting autocorrelation value all can be less than default fixed sentence threshold values after the processing in these sampled value process four steps of the first step to the so, in these autocorrelation value less than the fixed sentence threshold values, first is the cross-correlation peak-to-peak value for maximum.Therefore under the situation that does not have interchannel noise, when receiving terminal obtained an auto-correlation peak-to-peak value, receiving terminal just can assert that transmitting terminal begins transmission information.
The 6th goes on foot, each sampled value is all carried out according to five steps of the first step to the, auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position distribution situation is determined the original position of OFDM symbol in according to the frame structure of OFDM and the sampled value that received, thereby realizes the sign synchronization of ofdm system.
Particularly, because still there is the possibility that is subjected to the channel noise effect in an auto-correlation peak-to-peak value once in a while, and many group TS continuously that symbol timing synchronization method provided by the present invention can repeat in the employing cycle, be that receiving terminal can obtain a plurality of auto-correlation peak-to-peak values continuously in equal intervals, this has just significantly reduced the auto-correlation peak-to-peak value is the possibility that is subjected to the interchannel noise influence, thereby has greatly improved the performance of sign synchronization.Particularly, if comprise the TS that the N group cycle repeats in the frame structure of OFDM, the length of every group of TS is L, and N auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position is evenly distributed in continuous (LN) individual sampled value, there is (L-1) individual sampled value between adjacent two auto-correlation peak-to-peak value positions, (L-1) individual sampled value before first auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position is the frame head original position of OFDM frame structure so, and the sampled value of last auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position is the frame head final position of OFDM frame structure; Because the front end form of OFDM frame structure is " frame head+OFDM symbol ", the TS that the N group cycle repeats is exactly the frame head part, therefore the next sampled value that is close to frame head final position (being last auto-correlation peak-to-peak value position) is exactly that the original position of OFDM symbol (need to prove, can there be a plurality of continuous symbols in ofdm system, and what obtain is the original position of first OFDM symbol herein); Further, because the whole frame structure of OFDM all is known, therefore just can learns the start-stop position of each OFDM symbol according to the original position of first OFDM symbol, thereby realize the sign synchronization of ofdm system.
By technique scheme as can be seen, the realization of the embodiment of the invention not only can be saved hardware resource, be simplified hardware designs, and can effectively overcome channel fading and interchannel noise to the sign synchronization Effect on Performance, and then significantly promoted the net synchronization capability of this symbol timing synchronization method; Even the symbol timing synchronization method that also embodiment of the invention is provided under the situation of fading channel or low signal-to-noise ratio possesses preferable net synchronization capability.
For the content, purpose and the advantage that make technical solution of the present invention is clearer, be described in detail below by instantiation.
