Embodiment
For ease of understanding the present invention, illustrate the physical layer frame structure of TD-SCDMA system with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 first.Wherein,
Fig. 1 is the physical layer frame structure of TD-SCDMA system, and Fig. 2 is DwPTS example format.
The TDMA frame length that 3GPP is defined is 10ms.TD-SCDMA for realize fast power control and timing advance compared with
It is accurate and employ new technology (smart antenna etc.), 10ms frame is divided into two completely identical in structure subframes, the frame length of subframe
It is as shown in Figure 1 for 5ms, its structure:Each subframe is by three special time slots (DwPTS, GP, UpPTS) and 7 regular time slots
(TS0-TS6) form, DwPTS and UpPTS are used separately as down-going synchronous and uplink synchronous, do not carry user data.Such as Fig. 2 institutes
Show, DwPTS time slot includes two parts:64chips descending synchronous code SYNC_DL and 32chips protection interval GP.
DwPTS duration is 75us, the protection for downstream-to-upstream conversion.UpPTS time slot includes 128chips uplink synchronous
The protection interval of code and 32chips.GP is used as the propagation delay protection during uplink synchronous, common 96chips;Regular time slots
(TS0-TS6) it is used as transmission user data and control information, what TS0 was fixed believes as descending time slot transmission broadcast message with control
Breath, what TS1 was fixed is used as ascending time slot.Other regular time slots (TS2-TS6) can be configured to upstream or downstream according to demand
To support asymmetry business, the structure of time slot of regular time slots divide into four domains, two data fields, a training sequence
(midamble, referred to as " MA ") domain and a protection interval for being used as time slot protection.
No matter actually symmetry business or asymmetry business, DwPTS and UpPTS position are fixed, in
Between only protection interval GP (96chips), the transmission power that uplink synchronous is so carried out according to downlink synchronous signal intensity setting
It is proper to put, because the possibility very little of the change of signal intensity therebetween.
TD_SCDMA Physical Frame Structure and DwPTS example format are illustrated above, below in conjunction with shown in Fig. 3
Method 300 according to the cell blind Detecting DCM of the present invention come to being described.
After method 300 starts, step S302 is entered first, and DwPTS phases are carried out to one or more of broadcast frequency
Close, so as to obtain one or more DwPTSs of the strength of correlation more than a certain threshold value for each frequency.Those skilled in the art
, it should be understood that step 1) can for example be included by carrying out the related steps of DwPTS in step S202 to one or more of broadcast frequency
According to the frequency point information of Web broadcast, current DCM frequency point information tables are generated;Step 2) is to each in DCM frequency point information tables
Frequency does DwPTS correlations respectively, chooses top n DwPTS (this N number of DwPTS correlations that may be present according to certain algorithmic rule
Property intensity should generally exceed a certain threshold value, to ensure it as effective DwPTS.Threshold value can be empirical value, can also be by being
System or user's setting);And step 3) obtains the information such as related timing (timing), AGC (Auto Gain Control).
Next, method 300 enters step S304, for each in one or more DwPTS for being obtained, at it
Comprising training sequence MA in the most strong MA of selection signal quality, cell corresponding with the MA that the signal quality is most strong is made
For candidate cell.
Specifically, due to corresponding to a DwPTS in TD-SCDMA system be 4 candidates MA, one kind is realized logical
Often include the 4*N MA found under each frequency corresponding to all DwPTS extracting one cell blind Detecting of generation
Candidate cell information table;Then MA421 mistakes are carried out in same frame to all MA for belonging to same frequency in candidate cell information table
Journey, Signal quality assessment then is carried out to belonging to lower 4 MA of same DL, most what a cell selected.Thus find out some
N number of cell is there may be under frequency.
So far, method 300 terminates.
It should be noted that abovementioned steps S302 to S304 is that each frequency is carried out, so as to complete frequency
The cell blind Detecting of all frequencies in point information table.In addition, in the preferred implementation of the present invention, method 300 is in physics
(automatic) progress of layer.
It is according to periodic schedule in DCM scheduling in the preferred implementation of the present invention.Because its arrangement also occupies
TSO, DwPTS resource, and the measurement in TD systems and timing synchronization process may be carried out on the two time slots.When with TD systems
When measurement arrangement has time slot collision in system, flexible strategy dynamic adjustment priority can be used under various scenes.It is and right
It can support dynamically to be adjusted in design dispatching cycle in DCM, mainly consider that user may move in a small range here
It is dynamic, it is also possible to the situation that High-speed Circumstance quickly moves.But generally speaking, because DCM measurement periods can be unlike in TD systems
Arrange local area or nearby region measurement arrangement so frequent.Therefore the change before and after local area signal receiving quality is for example may be referred to enter
Row is certainly adjudicated:
If 1) find that ambient network environmental change is violent, promptly start cell blind Detecting, while shorten its cycle.
2) if it find that ambient network environment is more stable, its cycle can be increased.
The advantages of above-mentioned variable cycle practice, is to be advantageous to standby lower power saving, because DCM arrangements after all can be to system band
Carry out extra expense.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the practice of the variable cycle is only a preferred exemplary, and not as right
The limitation of various aspects of the present invention.
By the present invention, the strong inter-frequency interference cell found is configured in channel estimation, so as to improve cell
The accuracy of measurement result.Also, the interfered cell of common signal channel reception is carried out using the cell detected, it is possible to increase
The demodulation performance of the common signal channels such as BCH/FACH.
Further describe and shown according to an embodiment of the invention to cell progress blind check referring next to Fig. 4
