Three kinds of PPDU signal frame formats of 802.11n are as shown in Fig. 1, believed below with the HT_Mixed format of 802.11n
For number frame, the SIG sequence of the HT_Mixed format signal frame includes L_SIG, HT_SIG1 and HT_SIG2 totally 3 SIG words
Section, SIG sequence are total m training field (m=N+1) that HT_STF field and N number of HT_LTF field are constituted later, followed by
Data field.The method of ofdm system frequency plot tracking is carried out for receiving the HT_Mixed format signal below detailed
Explanation.
Phase-tracking method the following steps are included:
1, residual frequency deviation in an OFDM symbol time interval is calculated according to L_SIG field (i.e. first SIG field) to produce
Raw phase deviation, as the phase deviation value added θ of first OFDM symbolrm_pers(1), and then initial second is obtained
The compensation accumulated phase θ of a OFDM symbol (HT_SIG1 field)com(2).Specific implementation step is following (1)-(5).
(1) signal strength that each subcarrier is judged according to channel estimation results, therefrom chooses NsA strongest sub- load of channel
Wave remembers that its collection is combined into Smax。
(2) in hard decision L_SIG field these sub-carrier frequency domain signals polarity, set be denoted as Sp。
(3) set of computations SmaxInterior sub-carrier frequency domain signal superimposed phase deviation angle in the same direction:
(4) digital baseband input signal of each OFDM symbol is initialized,
θrm_pers(1)=δ θsig(1),
Wherein δ is the weight coefficient less than 1.
(5) the corresponding benefit of initial HT_SIG1 field (second OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field)
Repay accumulated phase are as follows:
θcom(2)=2 θrm_pers(1)。
2, phase deviation is carried out to HT_SIG1 field (second OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field)
Angle, θcom(2) compensation carries out residual phase estimation of deviation according to compensated information:
Then the phase deviation value added θ of HT_SIG1 field is updatedrm_pers(2):
θrm_pers(2)=θrm_pers(1)+δ1θsig(2)
Calculate the compensation accumulated phase of HT_SI2 field (the third OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field)
θcom(3):
θcom(3)=θcom(2)+θrm_pers(2)。
3, phase deviation is carried out to HT_SIG2 field (the third OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field)
Angle, θcom(3) compensation carries out residual phase estimation of deviation according to compensated information:
Update the phase deviation value added θ of HT_SIG2 fieldrm_pers(3):
θrm_pers(3)=θrm_pers(2)+δ1θsig(3),
Calculate the compensation accumulated phase of HT_STF field (the 4th OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field)
θcom(4)。
θcom(4)=θcom(3)+θrm_pers(3)。
4, for HT_STF field and N number of HT_LTF field, phase tracking loop is compensated without phase deviation and remnants
Phase estimation only compensates the cumulative of phase.Then
The phase deviation value added of i-th of OFDM symbol remains unchanged,
θrm_pers(i)=θrm_pers(i-1),
The compensation accumulated phase of next OFDM symbol is calculated,
θcom(i+1)=θcom(i)+θrm_pers(i)。
Then first OFDM symbol (m+3+1 started counting by first SIG field of following data fields
OFDM symbol) corresponding compensation accumulated phase are as follows:
θcom(m+3+1)=θcom(m+3)+θrm_pers(m+3)=θcom(3)+(m+1)*θrm_pers(3)。
5, a to the jth of data field (j >=1), i.e., i-th of the OFDM symbol started counting by first SIG field into
The residual phase deviation of the OFDM symbol is estimated in the compensation of row residual phase according to the symbolic information after phase compensation,
Update the phase deviation value added of i-th of OFDM symbol:
θrm_pers(i)=θrm_pers(i-1)+δ2θpilot(i),
The compensation accumulated phase of i+1 OFDM symbol is calculated again:
θcom(i+1)=θcom(i)+θrm_pers(i),
Until a frame data terminate, Phase Tracking is completed.
