Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of wireless pilot signals searching method and systems, belong to mobile communication technology field.
Background technique
With the development of mobile communication technology, application content such as voice, short message and data transmission etc. are more and more deep
Into people's lives and work, become a part indispensable in various fields.
In mobile communication system, the service of access to communication networks generally is provided for mobile terminal device by base station.For side
Just mobile terminal device accessing mobile communication network, (3rd-Generation, the 3rd generation mobile communication technology) base station 3G can weeks

Pilot signal, to access different base stations.
Generally, a part of the PN sequence of 0 biasing can be used such as starting in the pilot search of cdma system
1024 chips are as locally associated sequence, come to the aerial signal over-sampling sequence { x receivedn| n=0,1,2 ..., N-1 } into
Row pilot search, wherein the multiple of over-sampling is 4, i.e. 4.9152Msample/s, and the time window of pilot search is one short
The PN sequence period corresponding period, i.e., since sometime, until postponing in the 32768 chips corresponding time, local sequence
Column carry out related operation with 4 times of down-sampled signals for receiving oversampled signals, by relevant result and preset threshold T HR0
It is compared, whether contains copy identical with local sequence in signal therefore, it is determined that receiving;Pilot tone relevant search each time
Later, the step-length for receiving signal sliding sampling point is 1, successively calculates and receives in signal sequence with the presence or absence of identical with local sequence
Copy, therefore, it is determined that whether with the presence of pilot tone in this period.
In order to reduce the operand during search for pilots, it is sliding that the present embodiment increases the oversampled signals in search process
Dynamic step-length, is set as 3, the scheme of search for pilots is divided into three kinds: not increasing the search plan of correlation length, increases correlation length
Search plan and serial hybrid pilot search plan, the present embodiment set the value of K as 3, and the value of correlation length is 1024, M's
Value is 4.
One, the search of correlation length is not increased
The correlation length that aerial signal and local sequence is arranged is 1024 chips, determines that the thresholding for capturing pilot tone is
THR0, and assume that the object search of pilot signal is a segment signal of memory block;
As shown in fig. 7, the 701 ({ x of signal sequence formed to sampled point 702n| n=0,1,2 ..., N-1) i-th of phase
Bit sequence carry out sliding step be 3, the sliding pilot search that correlation length is 1024, until the volume of first signal value of taking-up
Number be greater than N-1-1023*4;Wherein the starting point set of i-th of phase sequence is combined into { xn| n=i, i+3, i6 ..., i+N3)}(0≤i
≤ 2), whereinElement in the starting point set 603 of i.e. the 0th phase sequence is 0,3,6
Deng element in the starting point set 604 of the 1st phase sequence is the starting point set 605 of 1,4,7 etc., the 2nd phase sequences
In element be 2,5,8 etc.;
The decision parameter that signal correlation obtains if it exists is not less than threshold T HR0, then it is judged to searching pilot signal,
Output obtain pilot tone signal initial point position and the pilot search such as pilot tone characteristic as a result, and terminate entire pilot search process,
The operand of search for pilots is smaller by sampling point slip scan scheme than existing at this time;
If the decision parameter that signal correlation obtains fails to reach threshold T HR0, then determine in this i-th of phase sequence not
Pilot signal can be searched, signal sequence { x is carried outn| n=0,1,2 ..., N-1 next phase sequence pilot search;
After searching for the signal of all phase sequences, still fails to search pilot tone, then terminate this search, search at this time
The operand of pilot tone with it is existing consistent by sampling point slip scan scheme.
Then, search parameter is reset, the pilot search of a new round is carried out.
When the object search of pilot signal is the data of flowing, i-th of phase sequence of signal sequence is (it is assumed that i is corresponding
Sequence valve be that starting point set 2) becomes: { xn| n=W+i, W+i+3, W+i+6 ..., W+i+N3) (0≤i≤2) wherein W
=32768*4*2=262144,As shown in figure 8, the 0th phase sequence set
In 801, the relevant initial signal 803 of each pilot tone is the integral multiple for being 3 at a distance from the starting point for receiving signal with this
Sampling point (802 be search time), and with other sampling points 804 for the signal sequence of starting point, then it not will do it pilot search;1st
A phase sequence set 805, the 2nd phase sequence set 806 is similarly.
Do not increase the search plan of correlation length is applicable in scene: the coarse search of stronger pilot tone, all pilot frequency intensities it is thick
Search;Wherein, the threshold value when coarse search of stronger pilot tone needs to exceed the threshold value when coarse search of all pilot frequency intensities.
Two, the search of correlation length is increased
The correlation length that aerial signal and local sequence is arranged is 1.5*1024, determines that the thresholding for capturing pilot tone is
THR1。
For 0 to 2 this 3 numbers, arbitrarily take a value as the i value of pilot search process;
To signal sequence { xn| n=0,1,2 ..., N+2047 i-th of phase sequence carry out sliding length be 3, it is related
The sliding pilot search that length is 1536;
The decision parameter obtained if there is signal correlation is not less than threshold T HR1, then it is judged to searching pilot tone letter
Number, output obtains the pilot search such as signal initial point position and the pilot tone characteristic of pilot tone as a result, and terminating entire pilot search mistake
Journey, the operand of search for pilots is smaller by sampling point slip scan scheme than existing at this time;
If the decision parameter that signal correlation obtains fails to reach threshold T HR1, then determine in this i-th of phase sequence
Fail to search pilot signal, and then determines in entire signal sequence { xn| n=0,1,2 ..., N+2047 in fail to search
Pilot tone then terminates this search, and the operand of search for pilots is smaller by sampling point slip scan scheme than existing at this time.
Then, search parameter is reset, the pilot search of a new round is carried out.
Increase the search plan of correlation length is applicable in scene: the coarse search of stronger pilot tone, the thick of all pilot frequency intensities are searched
Rope;Wherein, the threshold value when coarse search of stronger pilot tone needs to exceed the threshold value when coarse search of all pilot frequency intensities.
Three, serial Hybrid Search scheme
On the basis of increasing the search plan of correlation length, serial hybrid pilot search is carried out, can be obtained fine
Pilot search result:
As shown in figure 9, for the 901 ({ x of signal sequence of inputn| n=0,1,2 ..., N+2047 }), it is divided into two points

It obtains in first branch not less than threshold T HR1Correlation after, first branch can with interruption of work,
Enable signal 904 is provided for second branch simultaneously, wherein interruption of work time span is τ sampling point of Δ corresponding time;The
After two branches receive enable signal 904, multipath is searched within the time of τ sampling point of 2* Δ later, i.e., to search
Start the second pilot searcher 905 of corresponding pilot tone in front and back τ sampling point of each Δ centered on the signal location of pilot tone, and provides
Pilot search result 906.Wherein pilot searcher 2 is using the module of the pilot search of the prior art, correlation length L0, letter
Number sliding step is 1 sampling point, threshold value THR2, wherein THR2For the threshold value in pilot signal multipath search process.
Serial Hybrid Search scheme is applicable in scene: the essence search of most strong/stronger pilot tone, all pilot frequency intensity essences are searched
Rope, specified PN is biased and the search of search window.
