Taking an antenna system adopted in an LTE (long term Evolution) system MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) transmission mode as an example, fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of an antenna system in the prior art. As can be seen from fig. 1, the main structure of the antenna system includes an antenna 1, an RRU2(Radio Remote Unit), and a BBU3(BaseBand Unit), where the RRU2 includes multiple signal channels, where each signal channel includes a transmitting channel and a receiving channel. In the process of transmitting signals by the antenna system, in order to ensure higher signal transmission quality, each transmission channel needs to meet certain transmission requirements, for example, the time delay and the phase of each transmission channel are aligned at an empty port, and for example, the ratio of the channel responses of the receiving channel and the transmitting channel of each signal channel is equal.
In an actual antenna system, due to jitter of the intermediate frequency part of a transceiving channel and inconsistency of response of a radio frequency analog device, each transmitting channel is difficult to automatically meet the transmitting requirement. In order to enable each transmission channel to meet the transmission requirement, generally, a calibration reference channel is set in the RRU2, a compensation coefficient of each transmission channel is determined by matching the calibration reference channel with a signal compensation algorithm, and then, each transmission channel is subjected to supplementary correction according to the compensation coefficient of each transmission channel.
After the transmission channel is corrected and compensated by the existing channel correction method, one data segment received from the reception channel sometimes includes Symbol samples in the next data segment, resulting in ISI (Inter-Symbol-Interference).

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
In the embodiment of the present invention, an antenna system used in an LTE system MIMO transmission mode is taken as an example, and a signal channel correction method according to the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
On the basis of the structure of the antenna system of fig. 1, fig. 2 shows another structure diagram of the antenna system.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the main structure of the antenna system includes an antenna 1, an RRU2 and a BBU3, where the RRU2 includes multiple signal channels, each of which includes a receiving channel and a transmitting channel, and the RRU2 in the antenna system shown in fig. 2 includes four signal channels, for example, the 0 th signal channel includes a transmitting channel and a receiving channel, where the transmitting channel includes a transmitting circuit TX0, and the transmitting circuit TX0 is connected to a TRX0 of the BBU3 through a Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI), and is connected to the antenna 1 through a parallel module; the receiving channel includes a receiving circuit RX0, and the receiving circuit RX0 is connected to the transceiver interface TRX0 of the BBU3 through the CPRI, and is connected to the antenna 1 through the parallel module.
In fig. 2, the combining module is an electronic device for separating the receiving channel and the transmitting channel, and may be specifically a duplexer, a switching circuit, a circulator, or the like.
The connection structure of the other signal channels included in RRU2 is the same as that of the 0 th signal channel, and is not described in detail again.
The LTE system uses the antenna system shown in fig. 2 to perform MIMO transmission in two ways, which are BF (Beamforming) transmission and CL-MIMO (Closed-Loop MIMO) transmission, and the BF transmission and the CL-MIMO transmission perform weighted transmission on the base station side, so that signals of multiple transmitting antennas 1 form coherent superposition when being received, thereby obtaining array gain and improving SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) of a user.
In both BF transmission technology and CL-MIMO transmission technology, the transmission channel in the antenna system needs to satisfy a certain transmission condition in order to obtain a higher transmission quality.
For example, the CL-MIMO transmission technology requires that the delay and phase of each transmission channel are aligned at the air interface, and the formula is as follows:
htx，0(k)＝htx，1(k)＝…＝htx，3(k)
in the above formula, htx，0(k)～htx，3(k) Respectively representing the frequency domain channel responses of a transmitting channel 0-a transmitting channel 3, k representing the frequency domain subcarrier number, and the value range from 0 to Nfft-1, wherein Nfft is the total number of the frequency domain subcarriers.
Or in the CL-MIMO transmission technology, the consistency of the response of the transmission channel is achieved by time delay or frequency domain compensation, and the formula is as follows:
βtx，0×htx，0(k)＝βtx，1×htx，1(k)＝…＝βtx，3×htx，3(k)
wherein, βtx，0～βtx，3The correction compensation coefficients of the transmission channels 0 to 3 are respectively expressed.
For another example, in the BF transmission technology, it is required that the ratio of the channel responses of each receiving channel and each transmitting channel is equal, that is, the formula is satisfied:
wherein h isrx，0(k)～hrx，3(k) Respectively representing the frequency domain channel responses of a receiving channel 0-a receiving channel 3, k representing the frequency domain subcarrier number, and the value range from 0 to Nfft-1, wherein Nfft is the total number of the frequency domain subcarriers.
Or in BF transmission technology, the response consistency of the transmission channel is achieved by compensating in time delay or frequency domain, namely according to the satisfied formula
Wherein, βtx，0～βtx，3Respectively, the correction compensation coefficients of the transmission channel 0 to the transmission channel 3, βrx，0～βrx，3The correction compensation coefficients of the reception channels 0 to 3 are shown, respectively.
Due to the jitter of the intermediate frequency part FIFO (First In First Out) of the transceiving channel and the inconsistency of the response of the radio frequency analog device, the alignment of the channel itself cannot be guaranteed under the condition of not performing frequency domain or time domain channel compensation, so a correction compensation coefficient needs to be obtained through a channel compensation algorithm and hardware design.
The method for acquiring the correction compensation coefficient in the embodiment of the invention comprises designing an additional correction reference channel 4.
As shown in fig. 3, another schematic structural diagram of the antenna system is shown, in order to obtain a correction compensation coefficient of a signal channel, a coupling circuit 5 and a correction reference channel 4 are added in the structure of the antenna system, specifically, the coupling circuit 5 is disposed inside the antenna, which belongs to an external correction method, under the correction method, a transmission channel includes a TX (transmit) circuit and a feeder 6 inside an RRU2, and a reception channel includes an RX (receive) circuit and a feeder 6 inside an RRU2, for example, the 0 th transmission channel includes a transmission circuit TX0 and a feeder 6, and the 0 th reception channel includes a reception circuit RX0 and a feeder 6, in this way, the coupling circuit 5 is disposed inside the antenna, and can complete the correction of the TX circuit and the feeder.
Fig. 4 shows another schematic structural diagram of an antenna system, and different from fig. 3, in this way, the additional coupling circuit 5 in the antenna system is disposed inside an RRU, which belongs to an internal correction method, under this correction method, a transmitting channel includes a TX circuit inside an RRU2, a receiving channel includes an RX circuit inside an RRU2, for example, the 0 th transmitting channel includes a transmitting circuit TX0, and the 0 th receiving channel includes a receiving circuit RX 0. In this way, the coupling circuit is arranged inside the RRU, and signals are led from the RRU outlet (inside) to the coupling circuit 5 to complete the correction of the TX circuit, and the external feeder can only be guaranteed by construction constraints.
In fig. 3 and 4, the coupling circuit 5 may be a circuit formed by a power splitter/combiner, wherein the coupling circuit 5 in fig. 4 is connected to the output end of each transmitting channel through a directional coupler.
In fig. 3 and 4, the calibration reference channel 4 includes a transmitting circuit TXc and a receiving circuit RXc, wherein the BBU3 sends and receives a calibration reference signal to the transmitting circuit TXc, and after passing through the coupling circuit 5 and the antenna 1, the BBU3 receives a feedback signal from each receiving channel of the RRU2, and obtains a compensation coefficient of each receiving channel according to the feedback signal.
The receiving circuit RXc in the calibration reference channel 4 is configured to receive the signal output by the coupling circuit 5, and output the received signal to the BBU3, so that the BBU3 corrects each transmitting channel in the RRU according to the received signal, and the following detailed description will be made on the correcting process of the transmitting channel, which is not repeated herein.
Although the ranges defined by the transmitting channel and the receiving channel are different in the two antenna systems shown in fig. 3 and fig. 4, the method for implementing the signal channel correction provided by the embodiment of the present invention is the same, and the signal channel correction compensation method according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below by taking the antenna system shown in fig. 3 as an example.
When the antenna system shown in fig. 3 is used for correcting the transmission channel, the BBU3 controls the start of correction, and transmits a transmission correction reference signal to each transmission channel, in fig. 3, the BBU3 transmits the transmission correction reference signal to the transmission circuit TX0 through the transceiving interface TRX0, transmits the transmission correction reference signal to the transmission circuit TX1 through the transceiving interface TRX1, transmits the transmission correction reference signal to the transmission circuit TX2 through the transceiving interface TRX2, and transmits the transmission correction reference signal to the transmission circuit TX3 through the transceiving interface TRX 3. In the method, the BBU3 may send the transmission correction reference signal to the transmission channel by using frequency division, time division, or space division.
The transmission correction reference signals sent by the BBU3 to the four transmission channels are aggregated by the coupling circuit 5 and then transmitted to the correction reference channel 4, the BBU3 receives the receiving information corresponding to each transmission channel from the correction reference channel, and it is assumed that the signals of each receiving channel are rrxc,0(k)，rrxc,1(k),rrxc,2(k),rrxc,3(k) The frequency domain channel response of each transmitting channel can be obtained by LS (Least mean Square) channel estimation, wherein LSThe formula of the channel estimation is:
wherein,estimating the response, r, for the frequency domain channel of the ith transmit channelrxc,i(k) For the i-th received signal received via the calibration reference channel 4, stx,i(k) And correcting the reference signal for the ith path transmitted by the BBU3, wherein in the antenna system shown in FIG. 3, the value of i is 0-3.
The above formula for LS channel estimation is simplified as:
wherein h isrxc(k) To correct the channel response of the reference receive channel; h istx,i(k) The channel response of the channel is transmitted for the ith path.
By for eachTaking the reciprocal to obtain the initial correction compensation coefficient, i.e. according to the formulaDetermining an initial correction compensation factor for the ith transmit channel, whereinBefore calculating the initial correction compensation coefficient, the method can be used forNoise reduction processing is performed to improve the accuracy of the acquired initial correction compensation coefficient.
Further, in order to avoid introducing extra time delay caused by the correction reference channel 4, after the initial correction compensation coefficient is obtained, a transmission channel is used as a reference to perform relative correction on each obtained correction compensation coefficient, and a channel 0 is generally used as a reference to perform relative correction, that is:
since the delay difference between the RRU2 channels is small, using channel 0 as the reference does not bring a big problem, but special consideration needs to be taken when an individual RRU2 or an RRU2 is dually combined to form a single cell.
As shown in fig. 5, which is a schematic diagram illustrating the effect of signal channel correction compensation, it can be seen from the diagram that when channel 0 is used as a reference, the correction compensation method that channel 0 can adopt includes: reciprocal compensation, minimum delay compensation and maximum delay compensation; when the maximum delay channel is used as a reference for relative correction, a symbol sample of the next OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency division multiplexing) is received in the current OFDM data at the receiving end, which results in ISI.
In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present invention provides a signal channel correction compensation method, where when obtaining a compensation coefficient of a signal channel, a transmission channel corresponding to a minimum channel delay is used as a transmission reference channel, so as to effectively avoid a situation that a next segment symbol sample point is included in a current receiving segment, and avoid ISI caused by the situation.

Step S24: and the BBU determines the channel time delay of each transmission channel according to the frequency domain channel response of each transmission channel.

Step S34: and the BBU obtains the channel time delay of each transmitting channel according to the obtained LS channel estimation value, takes the channel with the minimum channel time delay as a transmitting reference channel, and uses the initial transmitting correction coefficient of the reference channel as a normalization factor to perform relative correction processing on the initial transmitting correction coefficient, namely all the initial transmitting correction coefficients are divided by the initial transmitting correction coefficient of the reference channel to obtain a second correcting compensation coefficient.
The calculation methods of the initial correction compensation coefficient and the second correction compensation coefficient in steps S33 and S34 are the same as those listed in the second embodiment, and are not repeated.

The BBU sends and receives a correction reference signal to a transmitting channel in the correction reference channel, the correction reference signal passes through the RRU and an antenna, and is looped back to a plurality of receiving channels in the RRU from a coupling circuit (sometimes the coupling circuit is directly looped back from the inside of the RRU without passing through the antenna, the processing flow is not different, and is not separately described), the BBU performs LS channel estimation on the received signal obtained from each receiving channel in the RRU, optionally performs LS channel estimation after performing operations such as noise reduction filtering on the received signal, and the like, and then the BBU determines an initial receiving correction coefficient of each receiving channel by using an LS channel estimation result of each receiving channel in the RRU, wherein the initial receiving correction coefficient is the reciprocal of the channel estimation. (FDD System may not have this step)
Step S36: the BBU takes channel 0 (which can be taken at will) as a receiving reference channel according to the obtained LS channel estimation value, and performs relative correction processing on the initial transmitting correction coefficient by using the initial receiving correction coefficient of the receiving reference channel as a normalization factor, namely all the initial receiving correction coefficients are divided by the initial receiving correction coefficient of the reference channel to obtain a second receiving correction coefficient; (FDD System may not have this step)
