Description

Communication receiving apparatus and signal processing method thereof
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a communication system, and more particularly, to an adjacent-channel interference (ACI) detection technique that can be employed by a receiving end of the communication system.
Background
In recent years, various wired and wireless communication technologies have been developed. Ensuring that the communication signal is not disturbed during the transmission is a major concern. Common external interference includes glitch, common channel interference, and adjacent channel interference. Adjacent channel interference refers to the situation where signal energy in adjacent frequency bands undesirably penetrates into a specific frequency band, and is usually due to the existence of signals with frequencies too close to each other in adjacent space. In practice, if the influence of the adjacent channel interference is not eliminated, the receiving end may not be able to correctly decode the content of the received signal. Various techniques exist for canceling adjacent channel interference. However, if there is no adjacent channel interference, the adjacent channel interference cancellation procedure applied to the received signal will have adverse effects, so that the quality of the received signal will be degraded. Therefore, how to detect whether the adjacent channel interference exists is a considerable problem.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a novel communication receiving device and a signal processing method thereof, which are used for detecting whether adjacent channel interference exists.
An embodiment of the invention is a communication receiving apparatus, which includes a spectrum generating circuit, a signal-to-noise ratio estimating circuit, and an adjacent channel interference detecting circuit. The spectrum generating circuit is used for generating a spectrum for a received signal. The spectrum includes a data band, a first guard band on one side of the data band, and a second guard band on the other side of the data band. The signal-to-noise ratio estimation circuit is used for estimating a first signal-to-noise ratio of the data frequency band relative to the first guard frequency band and estimating a second signal-to-noise ratio of the data frequency band relative to the second guard frequency band. The adjacent channel interference detection circuit is used to determine whether there is an adjacent channel interference in the received signal according to the first SNR and the second SNR.
Another embodiment of the present invention is a signal processing method applied to a communication receiving apparatus. First, a spectrum associated with a received signal is generated, wherein the spectrum includes a data band, a first guard band on one side of the data band, and a second guard band on the other side of the data band. Then, a first signal-to-noise ratio of the data band relative to the first guard band is estimated, and a second signal-to-noise ratio of the data band relative to the second guard band is also estimated. Then, according to the first SNR and the second SNR, whether there is an adjacent channel interference in the received signal is determined.

Detailed Description
An embodiment of the invention is a communication receiving apparatus, which includes a spectrum generating circuit, a signal-to-noise ratio estimating circuit, and an adjacent channel interference detecting circuit. The following mainly uses a signal processing architecture of a receiving end of an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system as an example to describe how to apply the above-mentioned circuits to implement the concept of the present invention. Please refer to fig. 1. The communication receiver 100 includes an automatic gain control circuit 110, a spectrum generating circuit 120, a channel estimation circuit 130, an equalization circuit 140, a demapping/decoding circuit 150, a signal-to-noise ratio estimation circuit 160, and an adjacent channel interference detection circuit 170. Although not shown in fig. 1, the communication receiving apparatus 100 may further include other elements such as a tuner (tuner), a down-conversion circuit, and an analog-digital conversion circuit.
The agc circuit 110 is responsible for applying an agc procedure to the received signal Y to adjust its amplitude to a magnitude suitable for subsequent circuit processing. Next, the spectrum generating circuit 120 is responsible for generating a spectrum S for the output signal Y' of the agc circuit 110. The channel estimation circuit 130 is used to generate a channel impulse response estimation value according to the spectrum S
Figure BDA0001863073030000041
Which is provided to the equalization circuit 140. Then, the equalized signal generated by the equalization circuit 140
Figure BDA0001863073030000042
Is sent to the demapping/decoding circuit 150 for subsequent processing.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the adjacent channel interference detecting circuit 170 informs the agc circuit 110 of the detection result through a control signal Z, and the agc circuit 110 selectively adjusts the gain applied to the received signal Y according to whether the adjacent channel interference exists in the received signal Y. For example, when the control signal Z indicates that the received signal Y has the adjacent channel interference, the agc circuit 110 may appropriately reduce the gain applied to the received signal Y to prevent the abnormal amplitude caused by the adjacent channel interference in the signal Y' from exceeding the dynamic range of the input signal of the equalizer circuit 140. How the adjacent channel interference detecting circuit 170 determines whether or not adjacent channel interference exists in the received signal Y will be described below.
As shown in fig. 1, the spectrum S output from the spectrum generating circuit 120 is also transmitted to the snr estimation circuit 160. FIG. 2 shows an example of a spectrum S comprising a data band BDATAAnd two guard bands (guard bands) B on both sidesGUARD_1、BGUARD_2. More specifically, data band BDATAThe frequency band in which the desired data exists in the communication receiving apparatus 100 is called a guard band BGUARDRefers to data band BDATAIs not the frequency band used to transmit the desired data. In practice, data band BDATAAnd guard band BGUARD_1、BGUARD_2The range of (a) may be clearly defined in the specification and known to the communication reception apparatus 100 in advance, or may be known from the communication reception apparatus 100 by analyzing the spectrum S. It should be noted that the SNR estimation circuit 160 obtains the data band BDATAAnd guard band BGUARDThe technical details of the frequency range are known to those skilled in the art, and are not described herein.
The SNR estimation circuit 160 is responsible for estimating the data band BDATAWith respect to the first guard band BGUARD_1Signal-to-noise ratio (hereinafter referred to as first signal-to-noise ratio SNR)_1) And estimate the data band BDATAWith respect to the second guard band BGUARD_2Signal-to-noise ratio (hereinafter referred to as second signal-to-noise ratio SNR)_2). As shown in fig. 3, the snr estimation circuit 160 may be designed to include a band selection circuit 161, a peak selection circuit 162, and a calculation circuit 163. In one embodiment, the band selection circuit 161 is used for the first guard band BGUARD_1A first out-of-band inspection range B is selectedOUT_1In the second guard band BGUARD_2Selecting a second out-of-band inspection range BOUT_2And in the data band BDATASelecting an in-band inspection range BIN. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the band selection circuit 161 can be designed to directly use the data band BDATAAs the in-band inspection range BINAnd the first guard band BGUARD_1Is regarded as the first out-of-band inspection range BOUT_1The second guard band BGUARD_2Regarded as the second out-of-band inspection range BOUT_2
In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, the band selection circuit 161 can be designed to identify the data band B in the spectrum S according to the trend of the energy variationDATAA rising edge (rising edge) and a falling edge (falling edge), and excluding the rising edge or falling edge from the in-band viewing range BINAnd an outside viewing range BOUT_1、BOUT_2And (c) out. In the example presented in FIG. 4B, data band BDATAIs shown as dashed range 410 and its energy falling edge is shown as dashed range 420. As can be seen in FIG. 4B, the in-band viewing range BINAnd an outside viewing range BOUT_1、BOUT_2Neither of the energy rising edge nor the energy falling edge is included. In practical situations, the energy rising/falling edge may fall on the data band B in whole or in partDATAIn addition, it is possible to fall wholly or partially on guard band BGUARDAnd (4) the following steps. The reason for excluding the rising/falling energy is that the energy of the transition region is not suitable for representing the data band BDATAThe overall energy level ofTo represent the guard band BGUARDThe overall energy level.
The peak selecting circuit 162 is responsible for viewing the first out-of-band viewing range BOUT_1A first out-of-band energy peak value P is selectedOUT_1In the second out-of-band viewing range BOUT_2A second out-of-band energy peak value P is selectedOUT_2And in-band viewing range BINIn which an in-band energy peak P is selectedINThat is, the highest energy value in each of the three inspection ranges is selected, as indicated in FIG. 4B.
Subsequently, the calculation circuit 163 may be based on the in-band energy peak PINWith a first out-of-band energy peak POUT_1Estimating a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)_1And according to the in-band energy peak PINAnd a second out-of-band energy peak POUT_2Estimating a second signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)_2. For example, the calculation circuit 163 may employ the following operation:
Figure BDA0001863073030000051
then, the adjacent channel interference detection circuit 170 will detect the first SNR provided by the SNR estimation circuit 160_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2And judging whether the adjacent channel interference exists in the received signal Y. Specifically, the adjacent channel interference means guard band BGUARD_1Or BGUARD_2In which abnormal energy that is not in expectation occurs. Thus, if there is no adjacent channel interference, the first SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2The absolute value difference of (d) (hereinafter denoted by the symbol diff) is usually small. On the other hand, if there is adjacent channel interference, the SNR is_1、SNR_2There is a considerable gap; the stronger the adjacent channel interference, the greater the difference diff.
In one embodiment, the adjacent channel interference detecting circuit 170 compares whether the difference diff is higher than a predetermined threshold; when the absolute value of the difference diff is higher than the predetermined threshold, it is determined that the adjacent channel interference exists in the received signal Y. In practice, the predetermined threshold is not limited to a specific value. For example, the predetermined threshold value may be determined according to the tolerance of the demapping/decoding circuit 150 for the amount of distortion. As mentioned above, the larger the difference diff is, the stronger the adjacent channel interference is, the greater the probability that the signal Y' output by the agc circuit 110 contains distortion signal is. For many decoders with error correction, when the occurrence probability of distorted signals is higher than a certain value, the decoding may fail. On the other hand, when the occurrence probability of the distortion signal is lower than the specific value, the decoder can correct the error and decode correctly even if the distortion signal exists. The circuit designer may perform experiments or simulations in advance to count how high the difference diff is, which may cause the number of distorted signals to be excessive and affect the success rate of the decoder, and accordingly determine the predetermined threshold. If the control signal Z indicates that the difference diff is below the predetermined threshold, the agc circuit 110 does not need to adjust the gain applied to the received signal Y. On the other hand, if the difference diff is higher than the predetermined threshold, the agc circuit 110 may properly adjust the gain, so as to avoid the decoding failure of the demapping/decoding circuit 150 due to excessive abnormal amplitude passing through the agc circuit 110 and exceeding the dynamic range of the input signal of the equalizer circuit 140.
It is noted that the first SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2Is not limited to the above mechanism. For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, the band selection circuit 161 may be in the data band BDATAIn the first out-of-band inspection range BOUT_1A first in-band inspection range BIN_1And in the data band BDATAIn the second out-of-band inspection range BOUT_2A second in-band inspection range BIN_2. The two in-band inspection ranges BIN_1、BIN_2Are all smaller than the data band BDATAAnd do not overlap each other. The peak value selecting circuit 162 inspects the range B in the first bandIN_1In which a first in-band energy peak P is selectedIN_1And viewing the range B in the second zoneIN_2Selecting a second in-band energy peak PIN_2. In this embodiment, electricity is calculatedThe path 163 is based on the first in-band energy peak PIN_1With a first out-of-band energy peak POUT_1Estimating a first signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)_1And according to the second in-band energy peak PIN_2And a second out-of-band energy peak POUT_2Estimating a second signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)_2For example, the following operational formula is used:
Figure BDA0001863073030000061
it should be noted that the adjacent channel interference detection circuit 170 is based on the first SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2Judging whether the adjacent channel interference exists or not according to the difference; in practice, the SNR estimation circuit 160 does not need to provide an absolutely accurate and fine SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2. With respect to viewing the entire data band BDATAThe advantage of selecting two smaller in-band inspection ranges is that the peak selection circuit 162 can inspect less data when selecting the in-band energy peak, and therefore is more efficient and generally sufficient to yield a signal-to-noise ratio SNR that allows the adjacent channel interference detection circuit 170 to make a correct determination_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2
On the other hand, if the received signal Y conforms to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) specification, the spectrum generating circuit 120 can generate a spectrum S for each of N symbols (symbols) in the received signal Yi(N is an integer greater than one, and the integer index i is 1-N), and the SNR estimation circuit 160 estimates the SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2The N spectra may be taken into account. The band selection circuit 161 is used to select the data band BDATATake the case of two in-band inspection ranges as an example. The peak selection circuit 162 provides four peaks (the first in-band energy peak P) for each analyzed spectrumIN_1_iFirst out-of-band energy peak POUT_1_iSecond in-band energy peak PIN_2_iSecond out-of-band energy peak POUT_2_i) To the calculation circuit 163. FIG. 5 presents one of the calculation circuits 163In detail, the exemplary embodiment includes four smoothing loop filters (smoothing loop filters) 163A to 163D and a ratio calculating circuit 163E.
the first smoothing loop filter 163A is used to receive the N first in-band energy peaks P in sequence according to a smoothing parameter αIN_1Adding to generate a first post-addition in-band energy peak PIN_1_addFIG. 6 shows a detailed implementation example of the first smoothing loop filter 163A. the smoothing parameter α can be selected by the circuit designer based on practical experience, for example, set to a value of 0.5 or 0.25IN_1Are sequentially fed to a first smoothing loop filter 163A. The multiplier 163A1 is responsible for dividing the ith peak P thereinIN_1_ithe smoothing parameter α is multiplied by the input signal of the adder 163A2, the other input signal of the adder 163A2 is P through the action of the delay circuit 163A3 and the multiplier 163A4IN_add_(i-1)product of the N first in-band energy peaks PIN_1Are sequentially added to obtain energy PIN_1_add_NI.e. the first post-addition in-band energy peak value PIN_1_add
Similarly, the second smoothing loop filter 163B is used to combine the N second in-band energy peaks PIN_2Adding to produce a second post-addition in-band energy peak PIN_2_add(ii) a The third smoothing loop filter 163C is used to filter the N first out-of-band energy peaks POUT_1Adding to generate a first added out-of-band energy peak POUT_1_add(ii) a The fourth smoothing loop filter 163D is used to filter the N second out-of-band energy peaks POUT_2Adding to generate a second added out-of-band energy peak POUT_2_add
The ratio calculation circuit 163E is then responsible for calculating the first post-addition in-band energy peak PIN_1_addOut-of-band energy peak P after first additionOUT_1_addAs the first signal-to-noise ratio SNR_1

The benefit of taking multiple symbols into account is that a larger time frame can be observed, avoiding short term disturbances in the communication environment affecting the signal-to-noise ratio SNR_1SNR with a second signal to noise ratio_2Overall correctness of.
In practice, the SNR estimation circuit 160 and the adjacent channel interference detection circuit 170 can be implemented as fixed and/or programmable digital logic circuits, including programmable logic gate arrays, application specific integrated circuits, microcontrollers, microprocessors, digital signal processors, and other necessary circuits. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous circuit configurations and components which can implement the concepts of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the invention.
It should be noted that the control signal Z generated by the adjacent channel interference detecting circuit 170 may also be used as a reference value for setting various system parameters, and is not limited to determining whether the gain of the agc circuit 110 should be adjusted.
