Description

Method, device and system for testing MIMO wireless terminal
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a system, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium for testing a MIMO wireless terminal.
Background
The purpose of an Over The Air (OTA) test of a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna is to ensure that the test result in a laboratory can truly reflect the wireless performance of a wireless terminal in various complex actual use environments and user use states.
In the related art, both the multi-probe method and the radiation two-step method need to test the performance curve of the channel model relative to each angle of the tested piece. Taking a two-dimensional multi-probe test as an example, as shown in fig. 1, in one measurement, the channel model is not changed, and the measured object needs to rotate inside a dark room to obtain the performance of each angle, and then the final result is obtained in an averaging manner. As shown in fig. 1, when the surrounding environment is fixed, the throughput performance of the dut changes when the dut rotates in any direction, so in order to evaluate the overall performance of the dut, the standard specifies that the throughput of the dut needs to be tested at each attitude (change in azimuth and pitch with respect to the channel model) of the dut. According to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and CTIA (national association of wireless communication and internet), the throughput rate test in two-dimensional space requires a resolution of at least 30 degrees of sampling angle, so that for MIMO test in two-dimensional space, at least 12 curves (corresponding to 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, 180 °, 210 °, 240 °, 270 °, 300 °, 330 ° in one phi section, respectively) need to be tested; for MIMO testing in three dimensions, at least 72 curves are required (theta axis for 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, phi axis for 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, 180 °, 210 °, 240 °, 270 °, 300 °, 330 °, 12 × 6 ═ 72 in total). According to CTIA and 3GPP regulation setting, testing a curve takes 6-10 minutes, so for a two-dimensional channel model, the MIMO test takes 72-120 minutes, and for a three-dimensional MIMO test takes 432-720 minutes.
However, for MIMO wireless terminal manufacturers, the number of wireless terminals is extremely large, and if one wireless terminal needs to face such a long test time, product inspection cannot be realized; the research and development period of the MIMO wireless terminal is relatively compact, for example, a mobile phone has short research and development time, and the performance can be rapidly tested; a wireless terminal is essentially unable to support hundreds of minutes of testing on a base power level. In sum, too long test time is intolerable for MIMO devices.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present application, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and intended to be used for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.
Firstly, it should be noted that the purpose of the OTA technology OTA test of the MIMO wireless terminal is to ensure that the test result in the laboratory can truly reflect the wireless performance of the wireless terminal in various complex actual use environments and user use states.
In order to guarantee the performance of the MIMO wireless terminal device, and to guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility and the electromagnetic safety of communication, the MIMO wireless terminal device needs to be subjected to OTA testing before release. The MIMO communication technology can realize the simultaneous transmission of multiple code streams by means of a multi-antenna system, thereby greatly increasing the communication rate. In this transmission mode, the propagation environment has a great influence on the transmission rate. In order to embody the real user experience of the wireless terminal of the MIMO terminal, the MIMO test needs to consider a channel model used by the wireless terminal, wherein, as shown in fig. 1, the channel model is a mathematical transformation of the classical usage environment of the MIMO wireless terminal, and includes factors such as signal reflection, diffraction, doppler, and the like.
Currently, the major MIMO wireless terminal testing methods provided by 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) are multi-probe Method (MPAC) and radiation two-step method (RTS). For example, as shown in fig. 2, in the multi-probe method, a plurality of antennas are built inside a darkroom and wound around an MIMO wireless terminal, and then radio frequency signals are played for all the antennas through a channel simulator, so that the radio frequency signals reaching the position of a measured piece in the center of the darkroom conform to the description of a channel model. For another example, as shown in fig. 3, the radial two-step method employs a mathematical approach to achieve simulation of the channel model. The radiation two-step process is based on the following principle: firstly, obtaining antenna directional pattern information of a tested piece, then calculating a throughput rate test signal, and finally feeding the throughput rate test signal into a receiver port in a radiation mode.
In the related art, both the multi-probe method and the radiation two-step method need to test the performance curve of the channel model relative to each angle of the tested piece. Taking a two-dimensional multi-probe test as an example, as shown in fig. 1, in one measurement, the channel model is not changed, and the measured object needs to rotate inside a dark room to obtain the performance of each angle, and then the final result is obtained in an averaging manner. As shown in fig. 1, when the surrounding environment is fixed, the throughput performance of the dut changes when the dut rotates in any direction, so in order to evaluate the overall performance of the dut, the standard specifies that the throughput of the dut needs to be tested at each attitude (change in azimuth and pitch with respect to the channel model) of the dut. According to the regulations of 3GPP and CTIA, the throughput rate test of a two-dimensional space requires the resolution of at least 30 degrees of sampling angle, so that for the MIMO test of the two-dimensional space, at least 12 curves (respectively corresponding to 0 degree, 30 degree, 60 degree, 90 degree, 120 degree, 150 degree, 180 degree, 210 degree, 240 degree, 270 degree, 300 degree and 330 degree on a phi section) need to be tested; for MIMO testing in three dimensions, at least 72 curves are required (theta axis for 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, phi axis for 0 °, 30 °, 60 °, 90 °, 120 °, 150 °, 180 °, 210 °, 240 °, 270 °, 300 °, 330 °, 12 × 6 ═ 72 in total). According to CTIA and 3GPP regulation setting, testing a curve takes 6-10 minutes, so for a two-dimensional channel model, the MIMO test takes 72-120 minutes, and for a three-dimensional MIMO test takes 432-720 minutes.
However, for MIMO wireless terminal manufacturers, the number of wireless terminals is extremely large, and if one wireless terminal needs to face such a long test time, product inspection cannot be realized; the research and development period of the MIMO wireless terminal is relatively compact, for example, a mobile phone has short research and development time, and the performance can be rapidly tested; a wireless terminal is essentially unable to support hundreds of minutes of testing on a base power level. In sum, too long test time is intolerable for MIMO devices.
To this end, the present application proposes a method, an apparatus, a system, an electronic device and a computer readable storage medium for testing a MIMO wireless terminal, and in particular, the method, the apparatus, the system, the electronic device and the computer readable storage medium for testing a MIMO wireless terminal according to an embodiment of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 4 is a flow chart of a method of testing a MIMO wireless terminal according to one embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the testing method of the MIMO wireless terminal according to the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a testing apparatus of the MIMO wireless terminal according to the embodiment of the present application, and the apparatus can be configured on an electronic device. In the embodiments of the present application, the electronic device may be a PC or a mobile terminal (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a PAD, a personal digital assistant, and other hardware devices with various operating systems).
It should be further noted that the test method for the MIMO wireless terminal according to the embodiment of the present application may be applied to an OTA test scenario of the MIMO wireless terminal, and may also be applied to a conducted test scenario of the MIMO wireless terminal.
As shown in fig. 4, the OTA testing method of the MIMO wireless terminal may include:
and S410, acquiring antenna pattern information required by the test and a channel model required by the test.
In the embodiment of the present application, the antenna pattern information includes gain information of each antenna of the MIMO wireless terminal in each direction, and related information such as phase offset information of the same signal received in each direction of any two antennas.
For example, the antenna pattern information required for the test and the channel model required for the test may be stored in the storage module in advance, so that when the MIMO wireless terminal is tested, the antenna pattern information required for the test and the channel model required for the test may be obtained from the storage module. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the antenna pattern information required for the test may be antenna pattern information of the MIMO wireless terminal, or may also be a simulated antenna pattern, or an antenna pattern obtained through actual measurement, which is not limited in this application.
In an embodiment of the present application, the antenna pattern information required for the test may be a simulation result obtained in simulation software.
And S420, determining respective channel correlation matrixes of the antenna pattern under a plurality of angles relative to the channel model according to the antenna pattern information and the channel model.
It can be understood that, since the MIMO wireless terminal rotates (or has different pointing angles) with respect to the channel model in different postures, it is necessary to count the channel correlation matrices under all conditions to be tested (angles of the directional pattern with respect to the channel) so as to determine a state to be tested for testing, and then calculate all throughput curves.
Firstly, it should be noted that both the radiation two-step method and the multi-probe method implement the signal propagation formula of the wireless antenna inside the darkroom. The signal propagation of the wireless antenna can be as shown in fig. 5, wherein the signal is received by the wireless system through spatial fading from the base station, and therefore, the factors affecting the throughput rate can be classified into three categories: channel model, antenna performance, and receiver performance. The antenna performance and the channel model together determine an electric field reaching an antenna feed point, and the antenna performance comprises all information about electromagnetic wave spatial distribution, such as correlation among antennas, antenna gain, channel fading, channel correlation and the like; receiver performance includes the sensitivity of the receiver itself and the degradation of sensitivity due to interference.
For example, for the MIMO system of SxU, the signal propagation equation can be expressed as follows:
y(t)=H(t)*x(t)+n(t) (1)
where y (t) is the received signal, x (t) is the signal from the base station, h (t) is the channel correlation matrix, n (t) is the presence of interference noise at reception, and t is time.
The (u, s) element of H (t) is recorded as hu,s(t), which represents the propagation equation for the signal from the s-th transmitter to the u-th receiver, experiences path fading, phase offset, doppler, etc.

In this step, respective channel correlation matrices of the antenna pattern at a plurality of angles with respect to the channel model can be calculated by the signal propagation formula (1) according to the antenna pattern information and the channel model.
And S430, determining a target test state, and testing the MIMO wireless terminal in the target test state to obtain a corresponding target throughput rate test curve.
In an embodiment of the present application, a target test state may be determined according to a preset target antenna directional diagram and an angle of the target antenna directional diagram with respect to a channel model, and then, an attitude of the MIMO wireless terminal located in a darkroom may be adjusted to make the attitude of the MIMO wireless terminal in the target test state, at this time, the MIMO wireless terminal in the target test state may be tested, so as to obtain a corresponding target throughput rate test curve. The throughput test curve may be understood to be a corresponding relationship for representing the throughput and the downlink power, for example, as shown in fig. 6, the throughput test curve is a schematic diagram of the throughput and the downlink power.
S440, obtaining a channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve.
As an example, when the target test state is determined according to a preset target antenna pattern and an angle thereof relative to the channel model, obtaining a channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput test curve includes: according to the preset target antenna directional diagram and the channel model, the channel correlation matrix of the target antenna directional diagram at the angle relative to the channel model can be determined by utilizing the formulas (1), (2) and (3), and the channel correlation matrix is the channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve.
S450, obtaining the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal according to the respective channel correlation matrix of the antenna directional diagram under a plurality of angles relative to the channel model, the target channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve and the target throughput rate test curve.
Optionally, after obtaining the corresponding target throughput rate test curve, the throughput rate curves of the MIMO wireless terminal at multiple angles relative to the antenna directional diagram may be obtained according to the respective channel correlation matrices of the antenna directional diagram at multiple angles relative to the channel model, the target channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve, and then the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal may be obtained according to the target throughput rate test curve and the throughput rate curves at multiple angles.
That is, according to the standard communication setting, the relationship between the throughput and the downlink power is obtained by testing in a target test state, here, only one throughput test curve is needed to be tested, for the throughput and the downlink power curve at any other angle, the throughput curve at any other angle is calculated by calculating the channel correlation matrix according to the obtained channel correlation matrix and the tested throughput test curve, and then the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal is calculated according to the throughput curves at all angles. The specific implementation process can be referred to the description of the subsequent embodiments.
According to the method for testing the MIMO wireless terminal, antenna directional diagram information required by testing and a channel model required by testing can be obtained, then according to the antenna directional diagram information and the channel model, respective channel correlation matrixes of an antenna directional diagram relative to the channel model under multiple angles are determined, then a target testing state is determined, the MIMO wireless terminal under the target testing state is tested, and a corresponding target throughput rate testing curve is obtained; and acquiring a target channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve, and acquiring the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal according to the respective channel correlation matrix of the antenna directional diagram at a plurality of angles relative to the channel model, the target channel correlation matrix corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve and the target throughput rate test curve. Therefore, only one throughput rate test curve of the MIMO wireless terminal under a certain attitude (namely one angle of the steering wheel relative to the channel model) needs to be tested, and then the throughput rate curve of any other angle can be calculated according to the throughput rate test curve and the channel correlation matrix of any other angle, so that the overall performance of the MIMO wireless terminal can be obtained, the test time of the MIMO wireless terminal can be greatly shortened, the technical problem that the test time is long due to the fact that a plurality of angles are tested is avoided, and the purpose of rapid test is achieved.

It should be noted that, through a lot of experiments, the inventor finds that the channel correlation matrix h (t) has an influence relationship on the throughput rate, and proposes the following throughput rate calculation formula for the influence relationship of the channel correlation matrix h (t) on the throughput rate:
TPm=Rm*K(Pd+ψ+Q) (5)
wherein TpmIs the throughput rate; rmThe maximum throughput rate value (unit is Mbps) that a wireless terminal can support under a fixed standard, for example, for LTE FDD 2 × 2MIMO with 10M bandwidth specified by 3GPP, the maximum throughput rate is 35.424Mbps, which is set according to 3GPP TR 37.977; k () is an operator function; pdIs the downlink power (in dBm); psi is a radio frequency parameter value, which can be calculated by using the channel correlation matrix H (t) according to the preset formula and expressed in dB; q is a constant for a fixed system.
Therefore, by using the influence relationship between the channel correlation matrix h (t) and the throughput, the radio frequency performance related parameters corresponding to the channel correlation matrices are calculated according to the respective channel correlation matrices at a plurality of angles and by using the preset formula, so that the throughput curve of the MIMO wireless terminal at each angle is calculated by using the throughput calculation formula according to the radio frequency performance related parameters corresponding to the channel correlation matrices.

As an example, the offset between the radio frequency parameter value corresponding to each of the plurality of channel correlation matrices and the radio frequency parameter value corresponding to the target channel correlation matrix may be calculated, and then, the throughput curves of the MIMO wireless terminal at a plurality of angles with respect to the antenna pattern with respect to the channel model may be calculated according to the offset between the radio frequency parameter value corresponding to each of the plurality of channel correlation matrices and the radio frequency parameter value corresponding to the target channel correlation matrix and the target throughput test curve.
It should be noted that, by performing a large number of test experiments, the inventors have calculated that the throughput curves of the MIMO wireless terminal at different angles are the same in shape but different in position according to the throughput calculation formula (5), for example, as shown in fig. 8, the throughput curves at different angles are shifted in position.
Therefore, by using the characteristic, only the throughput rate curve at one angle needs to be tested, after one throughput rate test is performed to obtain one throughput rate test curve, for the throughput rate and downlink power curve at any other angle, the corresponding radio frequency parameter values at other angles are calculated by calculating the channel correlation matrixes corresponding to the channel correlation matrixes at other angles and according to the corresponding channel correlation matrixes at other angles, the offset between the corresponding radio frequency parameter values at other angles and the radio frequency parameter values corresponding to the target throughput rate test curve is calculated, and the target throughput rate test curve is translated based on the offset, so that the throughput rate curves at other angles can be obtained.

Optionally, after obtaining respective throughput test curves corresponding to a plurality of angles, the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal may be obtained by averaging according to all the throughput curves.
For the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the present application more easily, the following calculation principle is described by taking the downlink throughput performance of a 2x2MIMO system as an example:
for a 2-path transmitting two-path receiving MIMO system, the relationship between the transmitted and received signals can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002291849340000121
wherein, the schematic diagram of the signal transmitting and receiving schematic diagram can be as shown in fig. 9.

Figure BDA0002291849340000125
Theoretically, h (t) can be obtained, as shown in equations (1), (2) and (3), then a rapid test algorithm for throughput rate can be obtained by calculating the influence of h (t) on the throughput rate of the receiver under different conditions.
Through a large number of experiments, the inventor finds that H (t) has a corresponding influence relation with the throughput rate, and proposes a calculation formula of the throughput rate as follows:
Tpm=Rm*K(Pd+ψ+Q) (7),
wherein R ismIs the maximum throughput rate (Mbps) that can be supported by the wireless terminal under a fixed standard, such as the 10M bandwidth LTE FDD 2x2MIM 0 specified by 3GPP, the theoretical maximum throughput rate is 35.424Mbps, PdIs the downlink power (unit is dBm), psi is the radio frequency parameter value corresponding to the channel correlation matrix under the current attitude, can be calculated by H (t) combined by an antenna directional diagram and a channel model, and is expressed in a dB form, and Q is a constant for a fixed system.

then, according to the calculation formula (7) of the throughput, the inventors found that the throughput curves of the MIMO wireless terminal are the same in shape and shifted in position under different postures. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, by using the above characteristics, in the process of testing the MIMO wireless terminal, the wireless terminal is in the target test state, then throughput measurement is performed on the MIMO wireless terminal in the target test state for one time, so that a target throughput test curve can be obtained, then the difference between the radio frequency parameter values corresponding to other angles and the radio frequency parameter values corresponding to the target test state is calculated, the difference can be used as an offset, then the target throughput test curve is translated according to each offset, so that throughput curves at other angles can be obtained, and finally, the overall performance value of the MIMO wireless terminal is calculated through all the throughput curves. Therefore, the MIMO performance (no matter 2D or 3D) of the whole wireless terminal can be completely obtained only by knowing an antenna directional diagram, a channel model and a throughput rate test curve, and the test time is greatly shortened. In fact, the method can achieve that only one curve needs to be tested to obtain the values of all curves, and thus, for 3D MIMO OTA testing, the method can be 72 times faster than the conventional method. The testing time is greatly shortened. And the method can be used on a multi-probe system and a radiation two-step method system.
