The training sequence consists of three consecutive FBMC symbols, including two auxiliary data symbols and one pilot symbol located in the middle of the two auxiliary data symbols. The work subcarrier modulation data of the odd or even sequence number position of the pilot frequency symbol is set to zero, and the work subcarrier modulation data corresponding to the odd or even sequence number position of the two auxiliary data symbols are the same or opposite to each other, so that a sequence with conjugate symmetry property in a time domain is constructed, and the timing synchronization function can be completed through the conjugate symmetry property of the sequence. In addition, by utilizing the symmetrical characteristic of imaginary part interference on a time-frequency plane in the FBMC-OQAM system, the training sequence can be used for not only symbol timing synchronization but also frequency domain channel estimation after filtering of the FBMC-OQAM system.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method for designing a training sequence for timing and channel estimation of FBMC-OQAM.
Background
In recent years, multicarrier modulation has been widely used in various communication systems as a communication waveform technique, and its basic idea is to divide a transmission bit stream into a plurality of sub-bit streams and modulate the sub-bit streams onto different sub-carriers for transmission. Among many multicarrier modulation techniques, orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is widely used due to its advantages such as high spectrum efficiency, low transceiver complexity, simple equalization, and easy use in combination with multi-antenna techniques, for example, in the fourth generation Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, digital television Broadcast (DVB), wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and the like.
With the isomerization and asynchronization Of future communication networks, OFDM has some disadvantages such as high Out Of Band (OOB) radiation, sensitivity to synchronization error, and the like. For example, mass wireless access of the internet of things, multipoint cooperative transmission, direct communication between devices, and the like all need to reduce the requirement of modulation waveforms for accurate synchronization, so as to meet the requirements of low cost and low signaling overhead while ensuring communication performance. In addition, cognitive radio, carrier aggregation, and other technologies also require that the signal modulation waveform have lower out-of-band leakage, so as to utilize the fragmented spectrum more efficiently. To address these challenges, filter Bank Multi-Carrier (FBMC) is considered a promising waveform technology due to its advantages of extremely low OOB radiation. In the FBMC system, OOB radiation is greatly reduced due to the introduction of a Prototype Filter (PF) having a good Time-Frequency focusing (TFL), so that Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) can be effectively controlled, thereby flexibly and effectively utilizing Frequency spectrum resources and reducing synchronization requirements. FBMC has great advantages in asynchronous communication networks because it modulates very low OOB radiation. For example, in a massive internet of things, due to the number of terminals, synchronization between devices needs to consume a large amount of signaling resources, and the FBMC system can use good protection subcarriers to greatly reduce interference between asynchronous users, so that the signaling resources and the power consumption of terminal devices can be greatly saved. Meanwhile, in order to improve the spectrum utilization and cope with the non-orthogonality caused by the introduction of the prototype filter, the FBMC system usually adopts the Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OQAM) instead of the conventional QAM. In OQAM modulation, the complex data symbols transmitted by the original QAM modulation can be approximately equivalent to transmitting two real symbols in the same time, thereby keeping the spectral efficiency unchanged. That is, in the FBMC-OQAM system, the complex orthogonal property in the conventional OFDM needs to be relaxed to be the real number domain orthogonal, thereby providing a solution of the compromise of the spectrum efficiency-OOB radiation-orthogonality.
Based on the above characteristics of the FBMC-OQAM system, due to the introduction of the filter with good TFL characteristics, the FBMC symbol is partially overlapped in the time domain while the excellent OOB radiation performance is brought, which makes the synchronization sequence design of the FBMC system not as direct as in the OFDM system. Meanwhile, since the FBMC-OQAM system can only keep the orthogonality in the real number domain, the imaginary part of the received symbol will be interfered by other time frequency point symbols, which brings difficulty to the channel coefficient estimation with complex value. Therefore, the existence of the imaginary interference item makes the key of the channel estimation algorithm in the FBMC-OQAM system to solve how to eliminate the interference item or perform channel estimation by using the interference item, so as to improve the channel estimation accuracy of the FBMC-OQAM system.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of a baseband system model structure of an FBMC-OQAM system in an embodiment includes a transmitting end and a receiving end. The sending end comprises a serial-parallel conversion module, an OQAM preprocessing module, an IFFT module and a multiphase filter module, and the receiving end comprises a multiphase filter module, an FFT module, an OQAM post-processing module and a parallel-serial conversion module. Because the data to be transmitted is complex data, the data to be transmitted is firstly processed by an OQAM preprocessing module and an OQAM preprocessing module after being subjected to serial-parallel conversionThe block serves to separate input complex data into two real data and is arranged in different sub-carriers or symbol periods. The method aims to separate the real part and the imaginary part of modulation data into two real parts to meet the requirement of OQAM real part orthogonality, then alternately arranging the real part and the imaginary part into two adjacent symbol periods in time, and multiplying the symbol periods by a phase modulation factor j corresponding to the nth symbol period and the mth subcarrier m+n Data which is virtually alternated on subcarrier and symbol arrangement is generated, and finally IFFT subcarrier modulation is carried out. That is, the OQAM modulation requires separation of real and imaginary parts of input complex data, and arrangement of the real and imaginary parts in different symbol periods.
At present, the design method of the synchronization sequence of the FBMC-OQAM mainly comprises the methods of adopting a sequence block method with the same front and back, utilizing the conjugate symmetry characteristic of the FBMC-OQAM signal to carry out synchronization, constructing a constant amplitude zero auto-correlation sequence and the like.
The same sequence block method is adopted to transmit continuous same data symbols to cope with the influence of symbol overlapping so as to construct two repeated signal blocks in a time domain signal to complete synchronization. The method is simple, but the method uses a large number of training symbols, and the frequency spectrum efficiency of the system is reduced.
The synchronization method by using the conjugate symmetry characteristic of the FBMC-OQAM signal mainly aims at the synchronization problem under the condition of burst transmission at present. By utilizing the conjugate symmetry characteristic of the FBMC-OQAM single-symbol time domain signal, the synchronous blind detection can be carried out by utilizing the conjugate symmetry characteristic at the initial stage of the signal, namely the subsequent stage with less symbol interference. In addition, the frequency spectrum efficiency can be improved by a method of storing preset data, and two identical conjugate symmetrical training sequence blocks are constructed at the signal starting stage, so that the synchronization performance is improved.
The method for constructing the Constant Amplitude Zero autocorrelation sequence calculates a specific training symbol value through the FBMC symbol aliasing principle, so that two Constant Amplitude Zero Auto Correlation (CAZAC) sequences are constructed in a time domain for synchronization.
The channel estimation of the FBMC-OQAM system is mainly divided into two types, namely, pilot type and scattered pilot type. The preamble is mainly used for data burst transmission, while the distributed pilot is more applied to continuous information transmission, provides distributed channel estimation on a time-frequency plane, and completes channel estimation on the whole time-frequency plane by interpolation. The pilot channel estimation schemes mainly include three, namely a pilot pair method, an interference approximation method and an interference cancellation method. The pilot frequency pair method constructs a linear equation set related to channel coefficients at two moments at a receiving end by sending two continuous training symbols, and if the channel change is not fast, the channel coefficients at the two moments can be considered to be the same, and then solution equation solution is carried out. The pilot frequency pair method is simple to implement, but the solving process of the channel coefficient is greatly influenced by noise, so that the performance degradation is serious at low signal-to-noise ratio. The interference approximation method is based on the fact that the target pilot symbol is mainly interfered by the imaginary parts of the surrounding adjacent symbols, and if the surrounding symbol data are known as well, the exact value of the imaginary interference can be calculated to assist the channel estimation. The interference cancellation method is opposite to the interference approximation method, and the values of the symbols around the training sequence are set to cancel the respective interference, because the symbols around the scheme can still transmit data, the spectrum utilization efficiency can be improved on the premise of completing the channel estimation.
The channel estimation of the distributed pilot frequency emphasizes the utilization rate of frequency spectrum compared with the pilot mode because the number of the pilot frequencies is larger. There are two commonly used methods at present, which are an Auxiliary Pilot (AP) and a Data Spreading (DS) method. The idea of the AP method is to use a data symbol adjacent to a pilot training symbol as an auxiliary pilot symbol, and calculate the value of the auxiliary pilot symbol to cancel the imaginary interference of other data symbols around the pilot symbol. The method is simple in implementation scheme, but the power of the AP symbol is far higher than that of the ordinary data symbol, and the energy efficiency is reduced. To improve energy efficiency, the DS method is to linearly encode adjacent pilot symbols and decode them at the receiving end to calculate channel coefficients, such as the downlink of LTE.
At present, how to reduce the frequency spectrum efficiency reduction caused by the synchronous training sequence overhead is still a problem of concern, and on the premise of keeping high frequency spectrum efficiency, a training sequence design method combining synchronous channel estimation and frequency domain channel estimation is relatively limited.
In the embodiment of the invention, aiming at a continuous data transmission mode, the invention provides a training sequence pattern for joint timing synchronization channel and frequency domain channel estimation, because real number modulation data points of a training sequence comprise two columns of information data sequences and one column of pilot frequency sequences on a subcarrier-symbol coordinate of an FBMC-OQAM system, the pilot frequency sequences are arranged between the two columns of information data sequences, the training sequence with conjugate symmetry characteristics in a time domain is constructed, so that inherent imaginary part interference brought by OQAM modulation is mutually offset at the pilot frequency signal points, and the training sequence can be used for the synchronization channel and the frequency domain channel estimation after filtering.

where (m, n) represents the mth subcarrier and the nth symbol period,andreal data symbols, j, sent on even and odd subcarriers, respectively (2m+n) For the OQAM modulation phase factor term, p (T) is the prototype filter, T and F are the symbol period and subcarrier spacing, respectively, and TF =1/2 is satisfied.
If so, theSampling a baseband transmit signal s (t) for a period, where f s For the sampling rate, assume f in this patent s = MF, the discrete baseband transmit signal s (k) can be expressed as:
wherein k is a discrete sampling number.
For analytical convenience, we represent the baseband signal in matrix form, i.e., s (k) in vector form s. Referring to FIG. 6, an exemplary FBMC-0QAM polyphase decomposition scheme is shown, where s is represented by a plurality of FBMC symbols t n The shift superposition result of (2).

E=diag([1,e π/(M/2) ,e 2π/(M/2) ,...,e (M/2-1)π/(M/2) ] T ) (8)
in this case, diag (a) represents a diagonal matrix having a vector a as a diagonal element.
According to fig. 6, the signal t of the nth FBMC symbol n Can be expressed as:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,andrespectively representing the Kronecker product and the Hadamard product, t n,i Representing the ith signal data block, then:
the last nth baseband output signal data block can be regarded as being formed by overlapping 2K data blocks:
since the characteristics of the OQAM modulated input data and the nature of the fourier transform are known,andrespectively, a conjugate symmetric sequence and a conjugate negative symmetric sequence, so that the IFFT outputs a n Also has the characteristic of conjugate symmetry, please refer to fig. 7, which is a schematic diagram of conjugate symmetry of IFFT output signals of the polyphase decomposition OQAM modulation system in an embodiment, a n,1 And a n,2 Respectively a n,0 Contains two sets of sequences with conjugate symmetry about respective center points.
FIG. 8 is a schematic time-domain waveform of a prototype filter according to an embodiment, although s n The data block is formed by superposing 2K different symbol data blocks, but the energy is mainly concentrated in two adjacent data blocks. Hence in the following we will refer to s n′ ,=s n+K The approximation is:
in the above formula and hereinafter, n is assumed to be a multiple of 4, so that j in the formula (9) is omitted n A phase factor term. The factor term can change the constructed training sequence from conjugate symmetry to conjugate negative symmetry, which is called conjugate symmetry in the patent.
Please refer to fig. 9, which is a schematic diagram of a time-frequency point structure of a training sequence in an embodiment, in order to recover the conjugate symmetry of FBMC baseband signals, pilot symbols are placed on even subcarriers of an nth symbol, and odd subcarriers are left blank; the even subcarrier data symbol of the (n + 1) th symbol is equal to the even subcarrier data symbol of the (n-1) th symbol, and the odd subcarrier data symbol of the (n + 1) th symbol is set as the opposite number of the odd subcarrier data of the (n-1) th symbol. This time is:
referring to fig. 10, a schematic diagram of the time domain composition and conjugate symmetry characteristics of the training sequence in an embodiment is shown, and according to the above formula and the time domain signal structure diagram shown in fig. 10, it can be found that the IFFT outputs a of the (n + 1) th and (n-1) th symbols can be found in consideration of the conjugate symmetry of the output of the OQAM modulation IFFT n+1 And a n-1 The head and the tail are conjugated and symmetrical with each other. And the IFFT output a of the nth symbol n A in (a) n,1 And a n,2 And are mutually in conjugate symmetry. Thus, the training sequence generates a block s of time domain signals n‘ And s n‘-1 Comprising two signal blocks of length M/2-1 which are in conjugate symmetry with each other. And the symmetric sequence of the time domain conjugate can be used as the timing synchronization of the receiving end.
Similarly, the operations on the odd and even subcarriers are interchanged, that is, pilot symbols are placed on odd subcarriers and the auxiliary data on both sides of the pilot symbols are the same, pilot symbols on even subcarriers are null, and the modulated data on the odd subcarriers of the auxiliary data symbols on both sides are opposite, so that training sequences with the same properties can be obtained.
The timing synchronization detection method for such a time-domain conjugate symmetric training sequence will be described below. Specifically, assuming r (k) is the received time domain signal, the autocorrelation timing metric function W (g) can be expressed as:
wherein | is a get amplitude operation, and
Wherein the content of the first and second substances,the parameter g is calculated to maximize W (g).
In addition to the above-mentioned conjugate symmetry property, the training sequence can also be used as a channel estimate. Due to the particularity of OQAM real-quadrature modulation, inherent imaginary part interference exists between time-frequency point symbols at a receiving end. Taking a Hermite filter as an example, assume that a certain time-frequency signal point is taken as a center, and the influence of the surrounding signal point data on the point is given. Referring to fig. 11, which is a schematic diagram of the imaginary part interference inherent to FBMC-OQAM modulation in an embodiment, it can be observed from fig. 11 that the interference distribution of the surrounding signal points is in (positive and negative) symmetric relationship, and also since the interference is mainly concentrated on the adjacent signal points, we can approximately consider only the influence of the adjacent signal points as before. Combining the interference symmetry relationship of fig. 11 and the sequence value setting of the training region of fig. 9, it can be found that the interference from the adjacent signal points at the pilot signal points in the training region exactly cancels out positively and negatively. Thus, the pilot signal point can be considered as not being interfered, and thus it can be used as a channel estimate, i.e. the filtered frequency domain channel coefficient h at the mth subcarrier in the nth symbol m,n Comprises the following steps:
wherein x is m,n For pilot data symbol values, y m,n The received filtered frequency domain signal value is mapped to the signal point.
In the embodiment of the application, an FBMC-OQAM continuous data transmission training sequence with high spectral efficiency is provided, which is composed of a pilot symbol with null odd number sub-carriers and training symbols with same load data of two even number sub-carriers, wherein the load data of the odd number sub-carriers are opposite numbers. The training sequence has the conjugate symmetry characteristic in the time domain, the timing synchronization function can be completed through the characteristic, meanwhile, due to the numerical value relationship in the training symbols, the inherent imaginary part interference caused by the OQAM is mutually offset at the pilot signal point, and therefore the training sequence can also be used for frequency domain channel estimation after filtering.
The present invention has been described in terms of specific examples, which are provided to aid understanding of the invention and are not intended to be limiting. Numerous simple deductions, modifications or substitutions may also be made by those skilled in the art in light of the present teachings.
