Description

OFDM symbol sync bit searching method and synchronizer thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, particularly relate to OFDM (OFDM) the sign synchronization position search method of second generation European terrestrial digital TV (DVB-T2).The invention still further relates to a kind of OFDM symbol synchronizer for described method.
Background technology
OFDM technology is widely used in Modern Communication System.As the second generation terrestrial digital TV standard in Europe, DVB-T2 (" DigitalVideoBroadcasting (DVB); Framestructurechannelcodingandmodulationforasecondgenera tiondigitalterrestrialtelevisionbroadcastingsystem (DVB-T2); " ETSIEN302755), inherit the OFDM technology of first generation standard DVB-T, the elementary cell of its data is called T2 frame.Be illustrated in figure 1 the structure chart of T2 frame, every frame comprises P1 leading symbol, P2 leading symbol and data symbol following closely.The P1 sign synchronization of DVB-T2 system is the first step of DVB-T2 system synchronization.The every frame of P1 symbol occurs once, and at the initial position of every frame, it indicates the beginning of each T2 frame or each FEF frame.P1 sign synchronization mainly can complete:
(1) whether what receiver was determined rapidly to receive is DVB-T2 signal;
(2) confirm that present frame is T2 frame or FEF frame;
(3) signaling message S1, S2 decoding, obtains, as parameters such as FFT length, possibility GI combinations, facilitating subsequent module to receive process;
(4) detect and compensate initial carrier frequency deviation.
Be illustrated in figure 2 the pie graph of P1 symbol, P1 symbol comprises three parts: part A, is the OFDM symbol of 1K; C part, by front 542 sampled points of part A through frequency displacement f sHobtain; Part B, is obtained through frequency displacement by rear 482 sampled points of part A.P1 symbol lengths is fixed, not by FFT length or GI effect length.And due to the design feature of P1 symbol self, namely the front end C part of P1 symbol and rear end part B are obtained by the part A frequency displacement of P1 symbol respectively, and this Data duplication through frequency displacement, even if can make P1 symbol also be easy to be detected under large frequency deviation.
As shown in Figure 3, be usual receiver schematic diagram.It comprises P1 symbol detection (P1_DET), FFT window adjusting device, and FFT, P1 symbol confirms (P1_VALID) and P1 symbol substitution device (P1_DEC).Wherein, P1_DET calculates the correlation peak of input P1 symbol; If correlation peak is greater than predetermined threshold, namely show the existence of P1 symbol, in predetermined scope, then search for the position of maximum correlation peaks, this position is P1 sign synchronization position.Further, according to obtained maximum correlation peaks, estimate fractional frequency deviation, line frequency of going forward side by side compensates.According to P1 sign synchronization position, determine the initial of FFT window, then carry out FFT conversion.Due to P1 symbol carry information in multiple subcarrier, P1_VALID identifies whether incoming symbol meets distribution of carriers.Do correlation computations by the subcarrier distribution of the signal that will receive with desirable CDS (Carrier-DistributionSequence, distribution of carriers sequence), if the correlation obtained is greater than predetermined threshold, show really there is P1 symbol.Meanwhile, according to the subcarrier sequence of input signal and the relative position of desirable subcarrier sequence, the integer carrier frequency deviation in input signal is calculated.After frequency compensation being carried out to the signal after FFT with this frequency departure, send into P1_DEC and carry out decoding, finally obtain signaling message S1 and S2 entrained by P1 symbol.
The correlation peak method of above-mentioned P1 symbol detection, can resist various serious interference and noise, but its shortcoming is: the error of sync bit is very large.J.G.Doblado (" CoarsetimesynchronizationforDVB-T2; " IEEElec.letters, Vol.46, No.11, May2010) innovatory algorithm proposed can improve synchronous error performance, but it is under heavy multipath interference channel, particularly interference footpath is the two footpath channels of 0dB, and synchronous error performance sharply worsens.M.Rotoloni, (" Oncorrelation-basedsynchronizationforDVB-T2; " IEEEComm.Letters, vol.14, No.3, pp.248-250, Mar.2010) propose Edge Detection, tackle severe jamming channel, two footpath Signal averaging problems when particularly two footpath channel disturbance are 0dB.But this algorithm has following point:
1) positive correlation peaks can not ensure the Shi Qian footpath, footpath (in like manner, negative correlation can not ensure rear footpath) of detection;
2) Pre/PostEcho (namely D/U is not equal to the two footpath channels of 0dB) cannot be processed;
3) correlation peak can not be distinguished and whether really contain synergistic effect.
How to improve the performance of P1 symbol synchronization error, the performance particularly under heavy multipath interference channel, remaining one has problem to be solved.

Embodiment
As shown in Figure 4, be OFDM symbol synchronizer structural representation of the present invention, comprise:
P1 symbol correlation unit, using a kind of existing P1 symbol correlator as shown in Figure 5 as the P1 symbol correlation unit of the embodiment of the present invention, delayer, conjugation multiplier and moving average filter form a correlator jointly, detect the C after frequency displacement and part B respectively.C, part B branch road be corresponding upper and lower two correlators respectively.This creates the terminal two correlators and export pulse, they are trapezoidal pulse, and the total duration of pulse equals (T a+ T x).Wherein, the duration of trapezoidal hypotenuse is T x, the duration on trapezoidal upper top is (T a-T x).Corresponding to C, B branch road, T xvalue be T respectively cand T b.Then, the output of upper correlator is again through a time delay T a, make it align in time with the output of lower correlator, latter two pulse is multiplied, obtains final result.Fig. 6 shows the waveform of correlation computations process.The output of what wherein left figure showed is two correlators, right figure is that they align and the result be multiplied in time domain.When channel is the two footpath channels of 0dB and the phase place in two footpaths is contrary, due to two footpath synergistic effects, after two trapezoidal superpositions, become two triangles, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 8 shows that difference averaging unit.P1 symbol correlation output is sent into difference engine and is carried out difference, and differential delay is the preferred span of L is 64 ~ 512, its representative value 256.Differential signal sends into rolling average, rolling average length M=L.The Edge check function utilizing difference average, the waveform obtained is such as shown in Fig. 9, and in figure, positive peak corresponds to rising edge, and negative peak corresponds to trailing edge.
Further, two kinds of representative average output waveform figures of typical difference of Fig. 9 display.Wherein, when the multipath of two footpath channels delay much larger than 512 time, the distance=512+256=768 between positive negative peak, wherein 512 is the length of trapezoidal top in Fig. 7, and 256 is rolling average length.And when to delay be 512 to multipath (or near), synergistic effect as shown in Figure 7, two trapezoidal distortions are two triangles; After difference is average, between positive negative peak, distance is rolling average length 256; Meanwhile, the distance=multipath in rear footpath and front footpath delays+512.Therefore, any peak value, can be summarized as one of following four kinds of situations:
Positive peak:
One, peak=synchronous point position (the front footpath of DELAY512, DELAY2000)
Two, peak-512=synchronous point position (the rear footpath of DELAY512)
Negative peak:
Three, peak-256=synchronous point position (the front footpath of DELAY512)
Four, peak-768=synchronous point position (the rear footpath of DELAY512, DELAY2000)
No matter which kind of channel, any one peak as shown in Figure 9, always can calculate the sync bit in the main footpath (maximum diameter) of multipath channel.
Peak search element can adopt embodiment as shown in Figure 10 to realize its function (its execution mode is not limited only to content shown in this embodiment); First, after difference is average, the absolute value of signal compares with the synchronous predetermined threshold P1_DET_TH that detects, and when being greater than synchronous detection predetermined threshold, shows to search P1 symbol.Next, in follow-up 5760 (corresponding maximum GI+896) scope, maximum is searched for.Finally, obtain maximum (peak value) position m, m ∝ { n, n+5760}.Further, according to the polarity of D (m), peak is chosen further.When peak value is positive polarity, obtaining two synchronous point candidates is: sync bit=m or sync bit=m-512; When peak value is negative polarity, obtaining two synchronous point candidates is: sync bit=m-256 or sync bit=m-768.
Two sync bits that peak search element obtains, as sync bit candidate point, obtain the Received signal strength synchronously, send into sync bit determining unit at twice.Sync bit determining unit adopts embodiment as shown in figure 11 to realize its function (its execution mode is not limited only to content shown in this embodiment); According to common practise CDS relevant treatment, do correlation computations by from the subcarrier distribution that obtains in Received signal strength with desirable CDS (Carrier-DistributionSequence, distribution of carriers sequence), obtain correlation; Next carry out maximum value search, obtain correlation peak.Next step, take absolute value correlation side lobes and be averaged, obtaining noise level.Finally, with correlation peak divided by noise, obtain peak noise ratio (PNR:Peak-Noise-Ratio).Carry out same process with the Received signal strength corresponding to two sync bit candidate points, obtain two peak noise ratios.And select peak noise to be final synchronous point position than large synchronous candidate point.
Above by specific embodiment to invention has been detailed description, but these are not construed as limiting the invention.Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art also can make many distortion and improvement, and these also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
