Embodiment
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to a kind of method, apparatus of the Noise Variance Estimation of single carrier wave time domain pilot tone proposed by the present invention
And the embodiment of communication system is described in further detail.It should be understood that these embodiments be merely to illustrate the present invention without
For limiting the scope of the present invention, after the present invention has been read, the various equivalent form of values of the those skilled in the art to the present invention
Modification fall within right appended by the application.
The embodiments of the invention provide a kind of carrier wave communication system noise variance estimation method using time domain pilot, bag
Include:(1) in system transmitting terminal, transmitting bit is mapped as after constellation symbol, by the size of the single-carrier symbol block of default,
Several known time domain pilots are inserted in each symbolic blocks equal intervals;(2) in system receiving terminal, by receive when
Domain signal is transformed into frequency domain and carries out channel equalization, then the frequency-region signal after equilibrium is transformed into time domain and utilizes known pilot tone sequence
Arrange and the coupling of noise variance and frequency domain equalization to signal is estimated, the soft demodulation for system.
(the mimo system by taking the single-input single-output of 1 transmission antenna and 1 reception antenna (SISO) system as an example below
Under realization can extend to obtain with identical method), with reference to Fig. 1-3, describe the inventive method in detail and using the present invention
The communication process of the system of method.System is the system of single carrier in the embodiment of the present invention, is not had under the bandwidth that system is supported
Its corresponding data symbol block size is 240 when inserting pilot tone, and code word size when using the LDPC to encode is for 672, this implementation reality
Example supports that BPSK code check is 1/2 MCS, supports the scene of different transmission antennas and different modulating mode to change this implementation
Example in example obtains.
In the case where system supports bandwidth, 1 transmission antenna, 1 reception antenna, BPSK modulation, exemplified by a spatial flow, make
With in the system using the carrier wave communication system noise variance estimation method of time domain pilot of the embodiment of the present invention, user sends
The specific methods sent and received of data comprise the following steps:
Step 1:The data bit that user sends passes through scrambler module, and the data bit after scrambler is carried out at Error Correction of Coding
Manage, select low density parity check code (LDPC) in this example, then data bit is mapped by the map operation of constellation symbol
Into constellation symbol;
Step 2:It is big when not including pilot tone according to single-carrier symbol block as defined in system to the constellation symbol after mapping
Small, its size is:ND=240, in each NDBlock in insert NP=16 pilot tones, the mode of insertion are to be accorded with from each single carrier
The beginning of number block, every NG=16 data symbols uniformly insert a pilot tone, wherein:
It is a coupling factor α to define coupling of the single-carrier system frequency domain equilibrium to reception signal, defines frequency domain
Contain equivalent noise in signal after equalization;LLR when calculating channel decoding by receiving terminal needs to know signal after frequency domain equalization
The variance and coupling factor α of middle noise, so for the ease of receiving terminal noise variance and equivalent frequency domain equilibrium to reception signal
The calculating of the factor-alpha of coupling, the pilot value of insertion must are fulfilled for the characteristics of certain, the half pilot tone being here inserted into and another
The frequency pilot sign of half is opposite, and pilot value is:{1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1,1,-1};
Can not be more than data amount check a lot, so typically in systematic function permission in view of the pilot number in each single-carrier symbol block
Under the premise of, less pilot number is selected as far as possible.
Step 3:From step 2, the length of each single-carrier symbol block is changed into after insertion pilot tone:
NBL=ND+NP=240+16=256 (formula 2)
In a single-carrier symbol block, if the index of its symbol is k, numbering is respectively k=1,2 ..., 256, then one
In individual block, pilot toneParticular location be:
In each piece, the position of the insertion of pilot tone is all as implied above;
If the symbol being inserted into the time domain of the transmission after pilot tone is x (t), then send symbol by single carrier symbol into
Block and plus cyclic prefix operation after carry out radio-frequency transmissions, receiving terminal is sent to by wireless multipath fading channel;
Step 4:In receiving terminal, the high-frequency signal received is transformed into baseband signal by Receiver Module first, so
It is time synchronized and Frequency Synchronization operation again afterwards, after single carrier deblocks and removes the operation of cyclic prefix, if receive herein
Time domain on signal be changed into y (t), then can obtain:
Wherein h (t) is the shock response of channel, and n (t) is that variance is σ2Additive white Gaussian noise;
Step 5:Next the reception signal treated by step 4 will carry out frequency domain equalization and operate, first have to allow reception
Signal is transformed into time-domain signal on frequency domain by the module of FFT, is specially:
Wherein, TsFor the sampling time of the time-domain signal to reception, H is the frequency response of channel, and X is on corresponding frequency domain
Transmission symbol;
Step 6:Then channel is acted on and carries out equilibrium, remove influence of the channel to transmission signal, be specially:
r0=wy', w=HH(HHH+σ2I)-1(formula 6)
Step 7:Finally the signal after equilibrium is transformed into time domain by IFFT modules again, is specially:
If time-domain signal herein is changed into r (t), then:
R (t)=α x (t)+z (t) (formula 8)
Wherein, effect of the frequency domain equalization process to reception signal is equivalent to factor-alpha, z (t) is equally that equivalent variance isAdditive white Gaussian noise;
Step 8:When the reception signal in the time domain in step 7 is represented with discrete form, then have:
R (k)=α x (k)+z (k) (formula 9)
If P () represents the probability of certain chance event, then the calculation of log-likelihood ratio (LLR) can be expressed as
(BPSK):
By needed in (formula 10) α andUnderstand, the main task of noise estimation module is exactly that the two parameters are passed through
The data r (k) received is estimated;It is assumed that the frequency pilot sign inserted in the reception data of a frame is expressed as to be positive
r+(k), similarly, insert frequency pilot sign and be expressed as r for negative-(k), then they are expressed as:
So to α andEstimation can be by respectively to r in (formula 11)+And r (k)-(k) average statistical and variance be simultaneously
Mutually plus-minus can obtain.Wherein, α estimation can be calculated according to (formula 12),Estimation can be according to (formula 13)
It is calculated.
Step 9:The LLR value calculated by LLR computing modules according to (formula 10), the reception signal after solving constellation mapping
After the decoded operation that can passes through LDPC, then by descrambling operations can restore user transmission data bit.
