Detailed Description

The inventor finds that the preamble symbol receiving method and apparatus in the prior art do not specifically describe and optimize the preamble symbols of a plurality of three-segment structures, especially the first one is CAB, and the latter is all the BCA structure.

In view of the above problems, the inventors have studied and provided a timing synchronization method using delay relationship matching and/or predetermined mathematical operations based on a three-segment relationship between a plurality of time domain symbols, which improves performance to the maximum and is general and low in complexity.

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in detail below.

The sending end applicable to the method for receiving the preamble symbol of the invention needs to meet the rule of the predetermined three-segment structure, the sending end utilizes at least one time domain with the predetermined three-segment structure to transmit signaling information, and the time domain symbol can adopt any one of a first predetermined three-segment time domain structure (CAB) or a second predetermined three-segment time domain structure (BCA). The time domain structure that needs to be satisfied in the originating side is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

Fig. 1 is a schematic time domain structure diagram of a physical frame in an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1, a physical frame transmitted by a transmitting end of the present embodiment includes a preamble symbol and a data area, respectively, where the preamble symbol is located before the data area.

The data area is used for transmitting data information such as TS packets or IP packets.

The preamble symbol is used for fast detection to determine whether the signal transmitted in the channel is a signal expected to be received, and provides basic transmission parameters (such as FFT point number, frame type information, etc.), so that the receiving end can perform subsequent receiving processing; detecting initial carrier frequency deviation and timing error for achieving frequency and timing synchronization after compensation; emergency broadcast wakeup, etc.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a physical frame structure including a format control portion and a content control portion in an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 2, the physical frame structure includes a preamble symbol and a data area, wherein the preamble symbol includes: the part PFC and the part PCC are controlled by the physical layer format. Of course, the preamble symbol involved in the present invention is not limited to include the PFC part and the PCC part.

The format control part PFC consists of one or more time domain symbols (indicated by a hatched box in the figure), each OFDM time domain symbol being of the same size. In this embodiment, the time domain symbol is an OFDM symbol, and as can be seen from fig. 2, in this embodiment, the format control portion PFC of the sending end includes four time domain symbols.

FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of a first three-stage structure in an embodiment of the invention; and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second three-stage configuration in an embodiment of the present invention.

The format control part PFC of the preamble symbol includes at least one time domain symbol, and since the time domain symbol in this embodiment adopts the following first three-segment structure or second three-segment structure, the time domain symbol included in the preamble symbol may also be referred to as a three-segment structure time domain symbol. However, without limitation, the time domain symbols satisfying the above-mentioned preamble symbol may also adopt other structures other than the three-segment structure.

As can be seen from fig. 3 and fig. 4, in the first embodiment, the time domain symbol has the following three-stage structure: a first three-stage structure as in fig. 3: the method comprises the steps of firstly, generating a time domain main signal (A section), generating a prefix (C section) based on the rear part of the time domain main signal, and selecting a part of generated suffix (B section) in the prefix range based on the time domain main signal; a second three-stage structure as in fig. 4: the method comprises the steps of generating a time domain main signal (A section), generating a prefix (C section) based on the rear part of the time domain main signal, and selecting a part of generated prefix in a prefix range based on the time domain main signal (B section).

A time domain main body signal (denoted by a in the figure) is used as a first part, a part is taken out from the tail end of the first part according to a preset acquisition rule, the first part is processed and copied to the front part of the first part to generate a third part (denoted by C in the figure) to be used as a prefix, meanwhile, a part is taken out from the back part of the first part according to a preset acquisition rule, the predetermined processing is processed and copied to the back part of the first part or processed and copied to the front part of the prefix to generate a second part (denoted by B in the figure) to be respectively used as a suffix or a super prefix, and therefore, a first three-segment structure (CAB structure) with B as a suffix and a second three-segment structure (BCA structure) with B as a super prefix shown in fig. 3 are respectively generated, and the second three-segment structure (BCA structure) shown in fig.

Based on the time domain symbol having the three-segment structure, the preamble symbol generated in this embodiment may include: a time domain symbol having a first three-segment structure; or a time domain symbol having a second three-segment structure; or a plurality of time domain symbols with the first three-segment structure and/or a plurality of time domain symbols with the second three-segment structure which are not arranged in sequence are freely combined. That is, the preamble symbol may only contain CAB or BCA, or may be several CABs or several BCAs, or may be any arbitrary combination of several CABs and several BCAs without limitation in number. It should be particularly noted that the preamble symbol of the present invention is not limited to a structure containing only C-a-B or B-C-a, but may also contain other time domain structures, such as a conventional CP structure.

The section A is obtained by performing IFFT transform of 2048 points, for example, on the basis of a certain frequency domain main body sequence, the section C in the three-section structure is directly copied to one part of the section A, the section B is a modulation signal section of one part of the section A, and the data range of the section B does not exceed the data range of the section C, namely, the range of the part A selected to the modulation signal section B does not exceed the range of the part A intercepted as the prefix C. Preferably, the sum of the length of B and the length of C is the length of a.

Let N_ALet Len be the length of A_CIs the length of C, Len_BIs the length of the modulation signal segment B. Let the sampling point number of A be 0,1, … N_A-1. setting N1 as the choice to copy to the second part of the modulated signal segmentB, and N2 is the sample point number of the first part a selected to be copied to the end of the second part B of the modulated signal segment. Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

N2＝N1+Len_B-1 (formula 1)

In general, the modulation applied to the second part B segment is modulation frequency offset, modulation M sequence or other sequences, etc., in this implementation, taking modulation frequency offset as an example, if P1_ a (t) is a time domain expression of a, the time domain expression of the first common preamble symbol is

Wherein, the modulation frequency deviation value f_SHCan be selected as the frequency domain subcarrier interval corresponding to the time domain OFDM symbol, namely 1/N_AT, or 1/(Len)_B+Len_c) T where T is the sampling period, N_AIs the length of a time domain OFDM symbol, e.g., N_AIs 1024, take f_SH1/1024T, and the modulation frequency offset may be arbitrarily chosen for the initial phase. To sharpen the correlation peak, f_SHCan also be selected to be 1/(Len)_BT) or a value close to its value.

In the structure of B-C-A, the modulation frequency deviation value is just opposite to that of the structure of C-A-B, and the modulation can be arbitrarily selected as an initial phase.

Setting the serial number of a first sampling point corresponding to the first part (A) and selecting the starting point of the second part (B) in the first three-segment structure (CAB) as N1_1, setting the serial number of a second sampling point corresponding to the first part (A) and selecting the starting point of the second part (B) in the second three-segment structure (BCA) as N1_2, wherein the serial numbers of the first sampling point N1_1 and the second sampling point N1_2 need to satisfy the following formula

N1_1+N1_2＝2N_A-(Len_B+Len_c) (formula 4)

The benefit of satisfying such a relationship is that the same content delay relationship from segment C to segment B in the C-A-B structure is as in the B-C-A structureThe delay relation from the section B to the same content of the section A is the same, and the delay relation from the section A to the same content of the section B in the C-A-B structure is the same as the delay relation from the section B to the same content of the section C in the B-C-A structure, so that the realization of a receiver is facilitated. And in the C-A-B structure and the B-C-A structure, if the modulation adopted for the B section is modulation frequency offset, the frequency offset values f of the two structures_SHBut just the opposite, facilitates the receiver implementation.

In addition, N1_1+ Len is usually taken_B＝N_A。

The symbol of C-A-B structure is represented by the symbol No. 1, and the symbol of B-C-A structure is represented by the symbol No. 2. Then, let P1_ A (t) be the time domain expression of A1, P2_ A (t) be the time domain expression of A2, and then the time domain expression of the C-A-B three-segment structure is

The time domain expression of the three-section structure of B-C-A is as follows

The first three-segment structure and the second three-segment structure which are not arranged in sequence can respectively form different leading symbols formed by self-combination of a plurality of first three-segment structures and/or a plurality of second three-segment structures according to different sequences. The time domain expression of the first preamble symbol, which is 1C-a-B and 1B-C-a in order, and the time domain expression of the second preamble symbol, which is 1B-C-a and 1C-a-B in order, are given below by way of example.

Then, the time domain expression of the first preamble symbol is:

the time domain expression of the second preamble symbol is:

other combinations of C-A-B and B-C-A can be deduced according to the time domain expression of the first preamble symbol and the second preamble symbol, and repeated description is omitted here.

As in the above case, when the C-a-B structure and the B-C-a structure are cascaded, the problem of small bias estimation failure under a dangerous delay can be solved. When the critical delays cause the cancellation of the C and a segments, the CB segment of the first structure and the BC segment of the second structure can still be used for timing synchronization and estimation bias.

The number of at least one time domain symbol contained in the preamble symbol is set to transmit four symbols, and several preferred four time domain symbol structures are given below and are arranged in sequence as any one of the following structures:

(1) C-A-B, B-C-A, C-A-B, B-C-A; or

(2) C-A-B, B-C-A, B-C-A, B-C-A; or

(3) B-C-A, C-A-B, C-A-B, C-A-B; or

(4) C-A-B, B-C-A, C-A-B, C-A-B; or

(5) C-A-B, C-A-B, C-A-B, B-C-A; or

(6) C-A-B, C-A-B, C-A-B, C-A-B or

(7)C-A-B，C-A-B，B-C-A，B-C-A。

Among them, the structure of four time domain symbols, such as (1) C-A-B, B-C-A, maximizes the effect of concatenation. For example, (2) the structure of four time domain symbols, C-A-B, B-C-A, B-C-A, B-C-A, lengthens the guard interval of the subsequent symbol A portion, and typically the first symbol is a known signal, so C-A-B is used.

One preferred embodiment of a three-stage structure, N_A2048, let Len_CIs 520, Len_BWhere P1_ a (t) is the temporal body a expression, 504, N1_1 is 1544, N1_2 is 1528, it can be derived that the temporal expressions of C-a-B and B-C-a are the same

And

further, f_SHIt can be selected as 1/(1024T) or 1/(2048T).

Further, the emergency broadcast system may be identified by selecting a different starting point for the second part B from the first part a, i.e. by selecting a different N1, or N1_1 and N1_2, by copying to the starting point of the B segment. A symbol of a three-segment structure such as C-a-B, N1_ 1-1544 identifies a general system, and N1_ 1-1528 identifies an emergency broadcast system. For another example, in the notation of the three-segment structure of B-C-a, N1_2 ═ 1528 identifies a general system, and N1_2 ═ 1544 identifies an emergency broadcast system.

The method for generating the preamble symbol of the transmitting end comprises the following steps:

the method comprises the steps of generating frequency domain subcarriers based on a frequency domain main body sequence, carrying out inverse Fourier transform (IFFT) on the frequency domain subcarriers to obtain a time domain main body signal A, and forming a time domain symbol with a three-section structure of C-A-B or B-C-A by the time domain main body signal A, so that a preamble symbol with at least one time domain symbol in the embodiment is formed.

The above description, with reference to fig. 1 to fig. 4, describes at least one time domain symbol with a predetermined three-segment structure in an applicable transmitting end for the preamble symbol receiving method of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the provided method for receiving a preamble symbol includes, for at least one time domain symbol having a first predetermined three-segment time domain structure or a second predetermined three-segment time domain structure, the following steps:

step S1: processing the physical frame to obtain a baseband signal and judging whether a preamble symbol expected to be received exists in the baseband signal;

step S2: determining the position of the received preamble symbol in a physical frame; and

step S3: and when the signaling information exists, the signaling information carried by the preamble symbol is solved.

Wherein, the step of judging whether the preamble symbol expected to be received exists in the baseband signal comprises a preliminary timing synchronization mode, and the preliminary timing synchronization mode comprises the following steps:

carrying out necessary reverse processing and/or signal demodulation on a baseband signal by utilizing a processing relation and/or a modulation relation which are specific to a first preset three-section time domain structure and/or a second preset three-section time domain structure, and then carrying out delay sliding self-correlation to obtain one or more groups of accumulated correlation values; and

performing delay relation matching and/or specific predetermined mathematical operation based on one or more groups of accumulated correlation values, using the operation values for initial timing synchronization, preliminarily determining the positions of preamble symbols in a physical frame,

when the preamble symbol comprises a plurality of three-segment structures, three accumulated correlation values, namely U, between the third part C and the first part A, between the first part A and the second part B, and between the third part C and the second part B in the plurality of groups of three-segment structures can be obtained respectively_ca'(n)，U_cb'(n)，U_ab' (n) or at least two of them, performing delay relationship matching and/or a predetermined mathematical operation based on one or more of the plurality of sets of accumulated correlation values to obtain final operation values, and using the final operation values for initial synchronization.

The preliminary timing synchronization method for the time domain symbols with the first CAB structure and the subsequent BCA structure will be described below.

Wherein, the formula N1_1+ N1_2 ═ 2N is satisfied_A-(Len_B+Len_c) And N1_1+ Len_B＝N_A。

In particular, N_A2048, let Len_CIs 520, Len_B＝504,N1_1＝1544，N1_2＝1528, f_SH1/(2048T) for example.

When the preamble symbol has a time domain structure of C-A-B or B-C-A, the baseband signal is subjected to necessary inverse processing and/or signal demodulation and then is subjected to delay sliding autocorrelation by utilizing the processing relation and/or modulation relation specific to C-A-B and/or B-C-A to obtain 1 or more groups of accumulated correlation values, delay relation matching and/or specific mathematical operation are carried out on the basis of the one or more groups of accumulated correlation values, and then the operation value is used for initial timing synchronization, so that the position of the preamble symbol in a physical frame is preliminarily determined. For example, the formula for obtaining the accumulated correlation value by the delayed sliding auto-correlation is as follows:

can select the U pair₁' (n) normalizing the energy to obtain U_1s'(n)。

Namely, it is

Other methods of energy normalization are also possible, U₁The conjugation in (N) can also be performed by r (N), and r (N-N)_A) Conjugation is not taken.

In the structure of each C-A-B or B-C-A, three accumulated correlation values of CA, AB and CB based on the same content can be obtained respectively.

The same part of the section C and the section a is used for the sliding delay correlation, and it is noted that the above energy normalization step can be added, and is not described here again. Three correlation values can be obtained for each 1C-A-B or B-C-A structure: u shape_ca'(n)，U_cb'(n)，U_cb'(n)

And performing sliding delay correlation by using the same part of the B section and the C section, which only modulates the frequency offset:

when the structure is C-A-B,

when the structure of B-C-A is shown,

and B, performing sliding delay correlation by using the same part of the B section and the A section, which only modulates the frequency offset:

when the structure is C-A-B,

when the structure of B-C-A is shown,

wherein corr _ len can take 1/f_SHT to avoid continuous wave interference, or Len_BSo that the peak is sharp.

When the preamble symbol comprises a plurality of time domain symbols and the time domain symbols all adopt a three-section structure, a plurality of groups of three accumulated correlation values of CA, AB and CB, namely U, can be obtained_ca'(n)，U_cb'(n)，U_ab' (n) using the U_ca'(n)， U_cb'(n)，U_ab' (n) obtaining a set of accumulated correlation values, performing delay relationship matching and/or mathematical operations based on one or more of the sets of values to obtain final operation values, and using the final operation values for initial synchronization.

For example, for the preferred K time domain symbols with three-segment structure, the arrangement is C-A-B, B-C-A, B-C-A, B-C-A, …, B-C-A, i.e. the first symbol is C-A-B structure, and the subsequent K-1 symbols are all B-C-A structure, so as to obtain the final product

It should be noted that any one or at least two of K time domain symbols having a predetermined three-segment time domain structure may also be used to obtain an accumulated correlation value, and the present invention does not limit the number of the time domain symbols used, and may be used in all or in part.
