The embodiment of the application provides a signal processing method, a communication chip and a communication device. Each time window in a transmission cycle has a corresponding communication parameter, when a channel quality parameter of a transmission channel corresponding to a first time window changes due to a noise environment change, a first communication parameter may be assigned to the first time window, a second communication parameter may be assigned to a second time window, and adjustment trends of the first communication parameter and the second communication parameter are opposite, so that rate complementation may be performed between the first time window and the second time window, so that stability of an overall bandwidth of a transmission cycle is better.
The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," and the like in the description and in the claims of the present application and in the drawings described above, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar elements and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the application described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprises," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
The method is mainly applied to a communication scene of dividing a plurality of time windows (communication windows) based on one transmission cycle. For example, fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating a transmission cycle divided into a plurality of time windows. In the design of a protocol, the power line communication can use 2 Alternating Current (AC) periods as Medium Access Control (MAC) periods of the protocol communication according to the channel characteristics of the power line. And then, one MAC period is divided into a plurality of time windows on the time domain according to the impedance change characteristics of the electric appliance so as to maximally utilize the channel capacity. As shown in fig. 1, an AC cycle is divided into 4 time windows, each of which communicates using independent communication parameters.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of dividing time windows in a transmission period according to noise conditions. Taking the noise situation generated by the household appliance in operation as an example, the noise generated by the household appliance is different at different AC cycle positions, the time windows can be divided based on the noise situation, and different communication parameters can be used for communication in different time windows.
A signal processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced as follows:
referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of a signal processing method of the present application includes:
301. a first signal from a peer communications device is received during a first transmission period.
In this embodiment, the first transmission period includes a plurality of time windows, where the time windows are divided to ensure that each time window can transmit at least one complete data frame. It can be understood that, in practical applications, the time window may be divided in an equal-length manner or in a different-length manner within one transmission period, and is not limited herein. In addition, the type of the transmission period in the present application may be various, for example, the transmission period may be an AC period or a MAC period as shown in fig. 1, and is not limited herein.
The first signal comprises in particular data frames transmitted within at least one time window. That is, the first signal may be a data frame transmitted in a certain time window, or may be a data frame transmitted in a plurality of time windows.
It should be noted that each time window has a corresponding communication parameter, that is, the data frame transmitted in each time window is modulated by the corresponding communication parameter. And because the noise condition may be different in different periods of one transmission cycle, the communication parameters corresponding to at least two time windows in the first transmission cycle are different.
302. If the difference value between the channel quality parameter of the transmission channel corresponding to the first time window and the preset channel quality parameter is larger than the preset threshold value, generating a first communication parameter corresponding to the first time window and a second communication parameter corresponding to the second time window.
In this embodiment, the communication device may monitor the received first signal, specifically, need to acquire the channel quality parameters of the transmission channels corresponding to each time window, and determine whether the channel quality parameters satisfy the trigger condition to trigger the adjustment of the communication parameters corresponding to the time window. The first communication parameter comprises a first adjustment amount and a first adjustment trend, the second communication parameter comprises a second adjustment amount and a second adjustment trend, and the first adjustment trend is opposite to the second adjustment trend. It is to be understood that the second time window is at least one time window other than the first time window in the first transmission period.
The first adjustment amount indicates an adjustment amount for the number of bits carried by a first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window, and the second adjustment amount indicates an adjustment amount for the number of bits carried by a second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window. The first adjustment trend includes a trend of increasing or decreasing the number of bits carried by the first subcarrier, and the second adjustment trend includes a trend of increasing or decreasing the number of bits carried by the second subcarrier. In an extensible way, increasing or decreasing the number of bits carried by the subcarriers can be replaced by increasing or decreasing other parameters capable of changing the quality of the transmission channel. For convenience of description, the corresponding adjustment amount and adjustment trend are expressed by the number of up bits or the number of down bits in the following. For example, if the number of down-regulation bits of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window is determined, correspondingly, the number of up-regulation bits of the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window needs to be determined. If the number of the uplink bits of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window is determined, correspondingly, the number of the downlink bits of the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window needs to be determined.
It should be noted that the trigger conditions may be various, and the communication parameter adjustment strategies corresponding to different trigger conditions are also different, which are described below:
first, if there is a first time window with poor noise condition in the first transmission cycle and there is a second time window with good noise condition, then bit swapping can be performed based on the first time window and the second time window.
Specifically, when the channel quality parameter of the transmission channel corresponding to the first time window meets at least one of the following three first trigger conditions, the communication device may be triggered to generate the first communication parameter corresponding to the first time window and the second communication parameter corresponding to the second time window. The three first trigger conditions are as follows:
1. the difference value of the signal-to-noise ratio threshold minus the signal-to-noise ratio of the transmission channel corresponding to the first time window is larger than the first threshold.
2. The difference between the retransmission times of the first data frame and the threshold of the retransmission times is larger than a second threshold value.
3. The difference value of the error rate of the first data frame minus the error rate threshold is larger than a third threshold value.
It should be noted that, because the noise condition of the first time window is poor, the down-regulation bit number of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window needs to be determined, and in order to make the stability of the whole bandwidth of one transmission cycle better, the up-regulation bit number of the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window needs to be determined.
Further, the communication device may generate a first Bit Allocation Table (BAT) and a first coding parameter according to a down-regulation Bit number corresponding to the first time window, and generate a second BAT and a second coding parameter according to an up-regulation Bit number corresponding to the second time window. The first bit allocation table may record the number of bits carried by the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window. The second bit allocation table may record the number of bits carried by the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window. The encoding parameters may include a modulation order, a Forward Error Correction (FEC) code rate, and the like. It can be understood that, in order to improve the noise immunity, a higher FEC code rate needs to be configured.
Optionally, the first time window may be a certain time window in the first transmission cycle, or may include multiple time windows in the first transmission cycle. That is, in practical applications, the communication parameters corresponding to each time window may be adjusted one by one, or the communication parameters corresponding to a plurality of time windows may be adjusted at a time.
It should be noted that when deploying services, it is generally required that the rate of power line communication cannot fluctuate greatly, and the goal is to maintain a stable rate, which requires that the sum of the rates of multiple time windows of a transmission period is kept constant. It can be understood that, in order to ensure that the total communication rate of the first transmission period is not changed, the number of down-regulation bits of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window should be less than or equal to the number of up-regulation bits of the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window. That is, the second time window has sufficient margin to compensate for the number of bits adjusted downward in the first time window. In this case, the communication device may determine the first bit allocation table and the second bit allocation table according to the down-adjusted bit number of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window, that is, the down-adjusted bit number in the first time window is complemented in the second time window.
For example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of bit swapping between time windows. The AC or MAC period comprises 8 time windows of A-H, the first time window comprises a C time window, a D time window and an E time window, and the second time window comprises an A time window, a B time window, an F time window and an H time window. The communication device obtains the total sum of the down-regulation Bit numbers of the C time window, the D time window and the E time window as Bit1, and obtains the total sum of the up-regulation Bit numbers of the a time window, the B time window, the F time window and the H time window as Bit2, since Bit2 is greater than Bit1, the C time window, the D time window and the E time window can be reduced by the Bit number of the total of Bit1 in the first Bit allocation table, and the a time window, the B time window, the F time window and the H time window can be increased by the Bit number of the total of Bit1 in the second Bit allocation table, as to how much each time window is increased or reduced, which is not limited herein.
In addition, in practical applications, the second time window does not occur each time, and there is enough margin to compensate the adjusted bit number in the first time window. That is, if the number of up bits is less than the number of down bits (Bit2 is less than Bit1), the sum of the rates of the time windows of the first transmission period needs to be decreased. Specifically, in order to make the magnitude of the speed reduction smaller, the communication device may compensate the number of bits adjusted downward in the first time window by using the margin of the second time window as much as possible. For example, in the first Bit allocation table, the number of bits that sum to Bit1 is decreased for the C time window, the D time window, and the E time window, and the number of bits that sum to Bit2 is increased for the a time window, the B time window, the F time window, and the H time window, and the number of bits that each time window is increased or decreased is not limited herein.
Secondly, if there is a first time window with better noise condition in the first transmission cycle and there is a second time window with worse noise condition, then the bit exchange can be performed based on the first time window and the second time window.
Specifically, when the channel quality parameter of the transmission channel corresponding to the first time window meets at least one of the following two second trigger conditions, the communication device may be triggered to generate the first communication parameter corresponding to the first time window and the second communication parameter corresponding to the second time window. Wherein the two second trigger conditions are as follows:
1. the difference value of the signal-to-noise ratio minus the signal-to-noise ratio threshold of the transmission channel corresponding to the first time window is larger than the first threshold.
2. The noise Margin (SNR Margin) of the transmission channel for the first time window is greater than the fourth threshold.
It should be noted that, because the noise condition of the first time window is better, the number of bits for up-regulation of the first subcarrier corresponding to the first time window can be determined, and even if the number of bits for the second subcarrier corresponding to the second time window needs to be down-regulated because the noise condition of the second time window is worse, the stability of the whole bandwidth of one transmission cycle can be maintained.
It will be appreciated that since the noise conditions are changing, a margin is required to allocate bits for each time window. The effect is that if the noise of a certain time window becomes large suddenly, the data transmitted in the time window can use the margin to ensure normal transmission without disconnection. The margin is referred to as a noise margin, and a larger noise margin indicates better noise in the time window.
Further, the communication device may generate a first BAT and a first coding parameter according to an up-modulation number of bits corresponding to the first time window, and generate a second BAT and a second coding parameter according to a down-modulation number of bits corresponding to the second time window.
Optionally, the communication device may further increase a noise margin of a transmission channel corresponding to the first time window due to the larger bandwidth redundancy of the first time window.
It should be noted that the present application includes, but is not limited to, the first trigger condition and the second trigger condition listed above, and other possible trigger conditions of channel quality parameter variation due to noise variation are within the scope of the present application.
Optionally, in addition to the two listed communication parameter adjustment strategies based on different triggering conditions, the communication device may also search a communication parameter template corresponding to the time window from the communication parameter database according to the monitoring condition of the noise. Specifically, the communication device may perform spectrum analysis on the signal transmitted in the time window to obtain a noise power spectrum, where the noise power spectrum includes noise powers corresponding to different frequency points of the signal. The mapping relation between the noise power spectrum and the communication parameters is recorded in the communication parameter data, and then the communication device can search the communication parameters corresponding to the input noise power spectrum from the communication parameter template library.
303. And sending the first communication parameters and the second communication parameters to the opposite-end communication device.
In this embodiment, the communication device sends the generated first communication parameter and second communication parameter to the peer communication device. Specifically, the communication device initiates a target request to the opposite-end communication device, where the target request may carry the first communication parameter and the second communication parameter. And the opposite-end communication device replies a confirmation message after receiving the target request, and then modulates and transmits the signals to be transmitted by using the first communication parameters and the second communication parameters respectively.
Optionally, the communication device may further send the first communication parameter and the second communication parameter to the opposite-end communication device in batches, for example, the communication device generates a first request and a second request, where the first request carries the first communication parameter and the second request carries the second communication parameter. Further, the communication apparatus transmits the first request and the second request to the counterpart communication apparatus.
It should be noted that, the peer communications apparatus may modulate the data frame number transmitted in the first time window of the next transmission period by using the first communication parameter, and modulate the data frame number transmitted in the second time window of the next transmission period by using the second communication parameter.
In the embodiment of the present application, each time window in one transmission cycle has a corresponding communication parameter, when a channel quality parameter of a transmission channel corresponding to a first time window changes due to a change in a noise environment, a first communication parameter may be allocated to the first time window, a second communication parameter may be allocated to a second time window, and adjustment trends of the first communication parameter and the second communication parameter are opposite, so that rate complementation may be performed between the first time window and the second time window, so that stability of the entire bandwidth of one transmission cycle is better.
