Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a time-frequency offset estimation method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 1, the time-frequency offset estimation method in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes the following steps:
step S101, respectively carrying out correlation value calculation on a first half signal and a second half signal of a local synchronous signal and a received signal in a time domain to obtain a half correlation value sequence of the first half signal and the received signal and a half correlation value sequence of the second half signal and the received signal;
step S102, summing the two semi-correlation value sequences to obtain a complete correlation value sequence;
step S103, determining a time offset estimation value of the received signal according to the position of the peak value in the complete correlation value sequence;
step S104, determining a first target correlation value and a second target correlation value in the two semi-correlation value sequences according to the time offset estimation value;
step S105, calculating a frequency offset estimation value of the received signal according to the first target correlation value and the second target correlation value.
Because the time offset estimation will use the correlation value sequence of the complete synchronization signal and the received signal, assuming that the computation complexity is 10, and the frequency offset estimation will use the correlation value sequence of the first half signal and the second half signal of the synchronization signal and the received signal, respectively, assuming that the computation complexity is 5, then according to the prior art scheme, the time offset estimation is performed first, and then the data is received again for frequency offset estimation, and the computation complexity of the whole process is 20(10+5+ 5).
According to the time-frequency offset estimation method in the embodiment of the disclosure, the correlation value sequences of the first half signal and the second half signal of the synchronization signal and the received signal are calculated first, and then the complete correlation value sequence can be obtained by summing the two correlation value sequences, so that the whole process only needs to calculate the two half correlation value sequences, and does not need to calculate the complete correlation value sequence through a complex formula, the calculation complexity is 10(5+5), the calculation complexity of the time-frequency offset estimation process is greatly reduced, the time-frequency offset estimation value and the frequency offset estimation value can be quickly obtained, and the receiving performance of the communication equipment is improved.
Alternatively, in step S101, when coarse time offset estimation is performed in advance, a time interval for performing correlation value calculation may be determined near a time offset estimation value determined in the coarse time offset estimation process based on the time and speed of timing drift and the accuracy of the coarse time offset estimation, and the first half signal and the second half signal of the local synchronization signal are respectively subjected to correlation value calculation with the received signal in the time interval; or when the rough time offset estimation is not carried out in advance, the first half signal and the second half signal of the local synchronous signal are respectively carried out the correlation value calculation with the received signal within one cycle time of the synchronous signal.
It should be noted that the local synchronization signal is a pre-stored sequence used for correlation value calculation, and has no time and period, and the synchronization signal refers to a physical synchronization signal transmitted according to a certain period in the communication system, and has a time and a period, which are different from each other.
If the coarse timing offset estimation has been completed, i.e. the coarse value of the timing offset estimation is known, then to reduce the computational complexity, correlation value calculations can be performed around the coarse value of the timing offset estimation based on the time and speed of the timing drift, e.g. the range of the timing drift is determined according to the time and speed of the timing drift, then the range of the timing drift is determined as the time interval during which the correlation value calculation is performed, and then the first half signal and the second half signal of the local synchronization signal are respectively correlated with the received signal during the time interval.
For example, the correlation value calculation may be performed according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001819955370000061
Figure BDA0001819955370000071
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0001819955370000072
is a half correlation value sequence of the first half signal of the local synchronous signal and the received signal,
Figure BDA0001819955370000073
is a half correlation value sequence of the second half signal of the local synchronous signal and the received signal,
Figure BDA0001819955370000074
for receiving signals, zi(i-0, … L-1) is a local synchronization signal, t*For the estimated value of time offset determined in the course of coarse time offset estimation, L is the sequence length of local synchronous signal, T is the period of synchronous signal, n is the period number of synchronous signal, [ -O, O]Time intervals for correlation value calculation.
Accordingly, in step S102, the complete correlation value sequence cn,oComprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0001819955370000075
however, if the coarse time offset estimation is not performed in advance, correlation value calculation needs to be performed at all time points of the received signal, that is, correlation value calculation needs to be performed on the first half signal and the second half signal of the local synchronization signal and the received signal respectively within one cycle time of the synchronization signal.
For example, the correlation value calculation may be performed according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001819955370000076
Figure BDA0001819955370000077
accordingly, in step S102, the complete correlation value sequence cn,oComprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0001819955370000078
through the above manner, the half correlation value sequences of the first half signal, the second half signal and the received signal of the local synchronization signal are calculated, so that the calculation complexity in the time-frequency offset estimation process can be reduced, and the corresponding half correlation value sequences can be directly found for frequency offset estimation after the time-frequency offset estimation value is determined, so that the frequency offset estimation value can be obtained more quickly, the frequency offset estimation time is saved, and the receiving performance of the communication equipment is improved.
Alternatively, in step S101, a correlation value of the first half signal and the second half signal of the local synchronization signal and the received signal in the time domain may be calculated in N periods, and accordingly, in step S103, power of the N periods may be combined and calculated according to a preset weight parameter for each time point in a time interval corresponding to the correlation value calculation to obtain a plurality of combined calculation results, and then a time point corresponding to a maximum value in the plurality of combined calculation results may be determined as a time offset estimation value of the received signal.
The preset weight parameter may be user-defined, for example, the user may determine the weight parameter as 1/N, that is, perform average calculation on the powers of N periods, or may also determine a weight parameter according to the signal-to-noise ratio, and the like, which is not limited in this disclosure.
For example, the time interval for performing correlation value calculation is Ω, the preset weight parameter is 1/N, and in N periods, the first half signal and the second half signal of the synchronization signal are respectively correlated with the received signal in the time domain, so that the complete correlation sequence c in N periods can be obtainedn,oThen, the power of N periods is combined and calculated according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001819955370000087
according to the calculation of the above formula, a plurality of power values can be obtained, and then the time offset estimation value o of the received signal at the time point corresponding to the maximum value of the plurality of power values can be determined according to the following formula*
o*=argmax{|co|2,o∈Ω}
Through the mode, the power of N periods can be combined and calculated according to the preset weight parameters, and a more accurate time offset estimation value is obtained, so that the receiving performance of the communication equipment is improved.
Optionally, in step S105, conjugate multiplication may be performed on the first target correlation value and the second target correlation value in the same period to obtain N metric values carrying frequency offset information, and then the frequency offset estimation value is determined according to a phase corresponding to a combined calculation result of the N metric values.
For example, the time offset estimation value o*Substituting the first half of the synchronization signal into the sequence of half-correlation values of the received signal

And a half correlation value sequence of the second half signal of the synchronous signal and the received signal

In (b), the obtained semi-related sequences are respectively
Figure BDA0001819955370000083
And
Figure BDA0001819955370000084
then, the half correlation sequence is calculated according to the following formula
Figure BDA0001819955370000085
And
Figure BDA0001819955370000086
and (3) performing conjugate multiplication on two values with the same sequence number in the middle period, namely performing conjugate multiplication on a first target correlation value and a second target correlation value in the same period, and performing combination calculation on N measurement values obtained by the conjugate multiplication:
Figure BDA0001819955370000091
then, according to the following formula, based on the combined calculation result
Figure BDA0001819955370000092
Determining a frequency offset estimation value:
Figure BDA0001819955370000093
wherein, FsRepresenting a sampling rate of the sampled signal; angle (·) denotes the radian phase of the complex number.
It should be understood that if M × N synchronization signal periods are used in the time-frequency offset estimation process, M synchronization signal periods can be obtained by the above calculation

So that the M can be further processed
Figure BDA0001819955370000095
Are averaged to obtain

Then use

And carrying out frequency offset estimation to obtain a more accurate frequency offset estimation value.
In addition, if timing with higher accuracy than the current sampling rate is required, in step S103, interpolation may be performed according to the peak value and a preset number of correlation values near the peak value, and then the interpolation result may be determined as the time offset estimation value of the received signal.
The preset number may be determined according to a scheme of time offset estimation, for example, if a 1.92M sampling rate is used to receive signals, but the communication system requires a time offset estimation accuracy of 3.84M, then 2-fold interpolation is performed to meet the system requirement, and if a linear interpolation scheme is used to improve the time offset estimation accuracy, then the preset number is 2.
For example, the time offset estimate may be determined by the following equation:
Figure BDA0001819955370000098
it should be appreciated that if a 1.92M sample rate is used to receive the signal and the communication system requires that the time offset estimate be 1.92M accurate, then the time offset estimate need not be determined by interpolation.
By the above method, the precision of the time offset estimation value can be improved through interpolation calculation, so that a more accurate time offset estimation value is obtained, and the receiving performance of the communication equipment is ensured.
