Description

interference elimination method and device
Technical Field
The embodiment of the invention relates to the field of communication, in particular to an interference elimination method and device.
Background
With the rapid development of the mobile industry, the deployment of LTE (Long Term Evolution) system has become global. The 1800MHz spectrum has become the first choice for LTE system deployment due to its excellent coverage capability. However, 1800MHz spectrum resources are scarce, and most of the spectrum resources are currently used for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) System deployment. Since the GSM system still has a considerable number of hotspots in many areas at present, operators cannot directly reschedule the 1800MHz spectrum of all GSM systems into the 1800MHz spectrum of the LTE system for full-network deployment. In addition, the 1800M bandwidth of 50% operators is 10M-25M, which cannot meet the large bandwidth requirements of the GSM system and the LTE system at the same time, so that the spectrum resources of the GSM system and the LTE system are not limited by fixed configuration any more, but the spectrum resources are distributed according to the needs, the LTE system can share the shared spectrum when the traffic of the GSM system is idle, and the GSM can share the shared spectrum when the traffic of the GSM is busy; namely, dynamic sharing of the spectrum of the GSM system and the LTE system. The dynamic sharing of spectrum for GSM and LTE systems is shown in fig. 1.
Because the GSM system and the LTE system are co-established on the 1800MHz frequency spectrum and belong to the same-frequency networking, carrier energy of the GSM system in the shared frequency spectrum may leak into the frequency spectrum of the LTE system, which may generate strong interference to the sideband frequency spectrum of the LTE system, resulting in degradation of demodulation performance of the LTE system and increase of error rate, so the LTE system needs to suppress or eliminate the interference generated by the GSM system urgently.
in the prior art, a common Interference suppression or elimination method is an Interference suppression Combining (IRC) technology, for example, the main method for inter-cell suppression or elimination in an LTE system is the IRC technology, as shown in fig. 2, the IRC technology is a diversity Combining technology that calculates a covariance matrix of an Interference signal and a white noise through a received signal or a received signal after pilot frequency is performed, and performs Interference suppression Combining on the received signal by using the covariance matrix of the Interference signal and the white noise, thereby suppressing the Interference signal.
because the GSM system is a narrowband signal, the signal power of the GSM system is stronger than that of the LTE system under the same level condition, and the strength of the interference signal power has a greater influence on the accuracy of the interference covariance matrix, when the interference generated by the GSM system is suppressed or eliminated by using the IRC technology in the situation that the GSM system and the LTE system share a spectrum, the interference signal cannot be effectively eliminated or suppressed, which may cause the increase of the error rate and the decrease of the throughput rate of the eNodeB (evolved nodeb) in the LTE system.

A1, acquiring the frequency point of the second cell;
There are various ways to acquire the frequency point of the second cell, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present invention, but are merely exemplary, and the embodiment of the present invention may acquire the frequency point of the second cell through the following two possible ways.
a first possible implementation includes:

And S4, if the energy value of the second uplink signal is greater than a first threshold, the base station of the first cell performs interference pre-elimination on the received uplink signal according to a preset strategy.
for example, when the signal quality requirement of the first cell is relatively low, the first threshold may be set to be relatively high, and when the signal quality requirement of the first cell is relatively high, the first threshold may be set to be relatively low, preferably, the first threshold in the embodiment of the present invention is-95 dBm.
because the strength of the interference signal has a large influence on the channel response estimation value of the interference signal, when the interference signal is weak, the method for eliminating the interference signal according to the channel response estimation value of the interference signal has a good effect. When the interference signal is strong, the method for eliminating the interference signal according to the channel response estimation value of the interference signal is poor in effect. By setting the first threshold, on one hand, when the energy value of the second uplink signal (interference signal) is greater than the first threshold, the embodiment of the invention can reduce the energy value of the second uplink signal and improve the accuracy of the channel response estimation value by performing interference pre-cancellation on the uplink signal through S1, so that the interference cancellation and suppression can be better performed on the second uplink signal received by the first cell; on the other hand, when the energy value of the second uplink signal (the interference signal) is less than or equal to the first threshold, the existing interference cancellation technology (for example, the IRC technology) may be directly adopted to cancel the second uplink signal, which may reduce the complexity of the interference cancellation method, reduce the cost, and improve the efficiency.
The IRC technology comprises the following specific steps: acquiring an autocorrelation matrix of the uplink signal; estimating a covariance matrix of the interference signal through an autocorrelation matrix of the uplink signal; and eliminating or suppressing the interference signal between the first communication system and the second communication system by an interference suppression combining technology according to the covariance matrix of the interference signal.
The key point of the IRC technology is to calculate the covariance matrix of the interference signal, the accuracy of the covariance matrix estimation of the interference signal can greatly affect the performance of the IRC technology, and the specific calculation formula of the covariance matrix of the interference signal is as follows:
the LTE system receives signals:
Covariance matrix of interference signal:
Therefore, the strength of the interference signal has a great influence on the accuracy of the covariance matrix estimation of the interference signal, and when the interference signal is strong, the accuracy of the covariance matrix estimation of the interference signal is deteriorated. According to the embodiment of the invention, the interference strength of the interference signal in the uplink signal is weakened after the interference pre-elimination is carried out on the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell according to the preset strategy, and then the interference covariance matrix is calculated through the IRC technology.

Wherein n iscAn index for the second cell carrier mapped to the first cell subcarrier.
H is an interference coefficient matrix obtained by using a channel estimation algorithm according to the spectral characteristic of the second cell, for example, an MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) algorithm and an LS algorithm.
In order to reduce the complexity of the interference cancellation method, in a specific implementation process, an interference coefficient matrix H corresponding to an interference signal in the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell may be calculated in advance according to a spectral characteristic of a second cell, and then the interference coefficient matrix H is stored, and when an interference signal in the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell needs to be reconstructed, the base station of the first cell may directly read the interference coefficient matrix H and reconstruct the interference signal according to a reconstruction expression Y ═ H × X.

and if the energy values of the M sub-carriers are greater than the second threshold, performing interference pre-elimination according to the second preset strategy to obtain an interference pre-elimination signal.
For example, when the signal quality requirement of the first cell is relatively low, the second threshold may be set to be relatively high, and when the signal quality requirement of the first cell is relatively high, the second threshold may be set to be relatively low, preferably, the second threshold in the embodiment of the present invention is-70 dBm.
By setting the second threshold, on one hand, when the energy value of the second uplink signal (the energy value of the interference signal) is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, the embodiment of the invention can perform interference pre-cancellation on the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell through a first preset strategy to reduce the energy of the second uplink signal in the uplink signal, thereby improving the accuracy of the channel response estimation value, and thus better eliminating the second uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell; on the other hand, when the energy value of the second uplink signal is greater than the second threshold, the base station of the first cell may perform interference cancellation and suppression on the uplink signal by using a second preset strategy.
it should be noted that, when the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell includes the second uplink signal of the base station of the second cell, the preset strategy can be selected by setting the first threshold and the second threshold, or any one of the preset strategies can be directly used for eliminating and suppressing the second uplink signal in the uplink signals, for example, the base station of the first cell may fixedly use the first preset strategy to cancel and suppress the second uplink signal in the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell, may also fixedly use the second preset strategy to cancel and suppress the second uplink signal in the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell, and may also cancel and suppress the second uplink signal in the uplink signal received by the base station of the first cell after the first preset strategy and the second preset strategy are concatenated, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Wherein, the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific value of K, and when the energy of the M subcarriers is relatively large, i.e. the interference signal of the second cell to the first cell is very strong, the specific value of K may be set to be relatively large, that is, the energy of the second uplink signal can be weakened by increasing the number of cancellation second cell subcarriers, when the energy of the M subcarriers is smaller, i.e. the interference signal of the second cell to the first cell is weak, the specific value of K may be set to be small, i.e., the energy of the second uplink signal can be attenuated by canceling the small number of subcarriers of the second cell, since the number of user equipments at the edge of each second cell is not necessarily the same, the strength of the interfering signal to the first cell is not limited, and the specific value of K may be determined according to actual situations.
In order to better eliminate the interference signal of the second cell received by the base station of the first cell at a position where the first cell is far away from the frequency point of the second cell, the embodiment of the present invention may further include:

As shown in fig. 4b, since the trapezoidal window filters a part of the useful signal at the tail of each OFDM symbol, and CP (Cyclic Prefix) is a copy of the tail, the CP after time domain windowing is added to the tail of each OFDM symbol for combination, so as to compensate the effect of the trapezoidal window on the useful signal, the embodiment of the present invention further includes:
