Description

Air interface synchronization method and system for indoor branch base station
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to an air interface synchronization method and system for an indoor division base station.
Background
With the rapid development of mobile communication and the increasing improvement of mobile terminals and network conditions, mobile services gradually transition from early pure voice services and text services to more abundantly applied multimedia services, and application scenes are also expanded from large-scale outdoor scenes to indoor coverage hotspot scenes.
Mobile communication systems have high requirements for synchronization techniques, in which uplink and downlink timeslot alignment, high-quality and reliable data transmission, and handover between cells need to be implemented by means of accurate synchronization techniques. In particular, in a tdd communication system, all cells are required to be strictly synchronized, including timeslot synchronization, system frame synchronization, and subframe synchronization, so as to avoid mutual interference between base stations and terminals. The Global Positioning System (GPS), IEEE1588v2, and air interface synchronization are currently mainstream inter-base station synchronization methods. The mobile communication system can obtain high synchronization accuracy by using GPS for synchronization, but the GPS has poor indoor signal and high failure rate. The IEEE1588v2 synchronization technology is to set a clock server at a certain node in a transmission network, inject synchronization timing information into the transmission network with the clock server as a synchronization source, and transmit the synchronization timing information to a base station as a base station synchronization reference, but the synchronization technology requires the same time delay for receiving and sending transmitted messages, and has strict application conditions and high cost. The air interface synchronization is to align time by detecting the synchronization signal of the neighboring base station, and to correct the frequency deviation by detecting the reference signal, thereby realizing the mutual synchronization of the base stations in the network. For an indoor coverage scenario of a miniaturized or miniaturized base station, conditions for using GPS synchronization and IEEE1588v2 synchronization are not usually met during equipment installation, so adopting air interface synchronization is a solution to effectively solve the synchronization problem in the scenario.
The air interface synchronization process is specifically divided into initial synchronization and synchronization maintenance. The synchronization maintenance is to continue to periodically detect the synchronization signal or the reference signal sent by the synchronization source base station to maintain the synchronization state between the base stations on the basis that the initial synchronization acquires the synchronization information of the synchronization source base station. Synchronization signals are classified into PSS (Primary Synchronization Signal) and Secondary Synchronization Signal (Secondary Synchronization Signal), and Reference signals are generally referred to as CRS (Cell Reference Signal). The 3GPP proposes two indoor air interface synchronization technologies, one is based on special subframe Guard interval (GP) transmission clock synchronization signal, and the other is based on silent subframe detection reference signal of the synchronization source cell to acquire time synchronization. Usually, a mobile operator adjusts parameters of a macro base station according to the environment change condition of a wireless network for optimizing an access network, or configures some idle periods based on energy-saving factors to reduce downlink transmission power of the macro base station, or a strong interference signal appears in a certain frequency band due to indoor environment change, and at this time, the quality of a downlink signal received by an indoor sub-miniature or micro base station is directly affected, so that air interface synchronization downlink desynchronization of the indoor sub-miniature or micro base station is caused. Especially in a time division duplex system, long-time downlink desynchronization caused by synchronous source loss can lead to larger and larger accumulated offset between the frame head of the indoor branch base station and the frame head of the macro base station, and when the offset of the frame head exceeds a certain range, a downlink signal of the macro base station can be partially overlapped with an uplink time slot of the indoor branch base station in time, so that the access of a mobile terminal is seriously influenced.
Therefore, it is an urgent need to solve the problem in the art to provide a method for improving the stability of the air interface synchronization state in the low snr environment without increasing the hardware cost of the base station and with low implementation complexity.

And then intercepting the data of the wireless frame, and intercepting N complete wireless frame data lengths from the air interface data stream received in the initial synchronization stage according to the result of successful primary synchronization, wherein N > is 1.
The invention determines the downlink timing reference in the initial synchronization stage, intercepts the wireless frame data and is used as the reference for adjusting the subsequent real-time synchronization state, and has the characteristics of convenient acquisition and no need of depending on hardware.
Based on any of the above embodiments, step S2 includes:

Specifically, when further calculating the signal-to-noise ratio at the initial synchronization stage, first, time-frequency conversion processing is performed on the N truncated complete radio frames, then, corresponding downlink reference signals are extracted and input to the channel estimation unit, noise energy (RIP) is calculated, and then, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained, and the signal-to-noise ratio threshold calculation mode is to calculate the average value after accumulating the N obtained initial signal-to-noise ratio statistics.
Taking a TD-LTE base station as an example, firstly segmenting the intercepted N wireless frame data according to the length of the system wireless frame, respectively performing cyclic prefix removal and FFT operation processing on the data of the subframe 1 or the subframe 9 in each 10ms wireless frame by using a time domain symbol as a unit, then extracting Resource Block (RB) data occupied by a downlink reference signal from the data, inputting the Resource Block (RB) data into a channel estimation unit, obtaining noise energy (RIP) through DFT channel estimation, further obtaining a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and finally obtaining a signal-to-noise ratio threshold δ by averaging after accumulating the obtained N initial signal-to-noise ratio statistics.
Here, air interface listening unit detectsThe period can be set to 2nMultiplied by 10ms, where n>0 and n<N is an integer of 5.
The invention calculates the SNR and SNR threshold of the initial synchronization stage as the basis for judging whether the system needs real-time synchronization, and has the characteristics of simple calculation, convenient implementation and the like without using extra hardware resources as support.
Based on any of the above embodiments, step S3 includes:
if the real-time synchronization state is synchronization and the signal-to-noise ratio of the synchronization maintenance stage is greater than or equal to the signal-to-noise ratio threshold, negating the frame header relative offset value to obtain a first non-zero adjustment value, adjusting the current timing reference position by using the first non-zero adjustment value as an adjustment step length, and storing the first non-zero adjustment value to a cyclic array with a preset length;
if the real-time synchronization state is synchronization and the signal-to-noise ratio of the synchronization maintenance stage is smaller than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold, accumulating the frame header relative offset value to obtain an accumulated value, when the accumulated value reaches an adjustment threshold, negating the accumulated value to obtain a second non-zero adjustment value, adjusting the current timing reference position by using the second non-zero adjustment value as an adjustment step length, storing the second non-zero adjustment value to a cyclic array with a preset length, and resetting the accumulated value;
if the real-time synchronization state is out-of-step and the signal-to-noise ratio of the synchronization maintenance stage is greater than or equal to the signal-to-noise ratio threshold, accumulating the frame header relative deviation value and not adjusting the current timing reference position;
and if the real-time synchronization state is out-of-step and the signal-to-noise ratio of the synchronization maintaining stage is smaller than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold, not processing.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the timing reference adjustment strategy according to the present invention specifically includes:
(1) when the real-time state is synchronous and the SNR is higher than or equal to the SNR threshold delta, the air interface synchronization result has the highest confidence coefficient, and the internal clock control unit has MFC for the periodically detected frame header relative deviation valueoffsetTaking the inverse as the step length to instantly adjust the currentTiming the reference position and adjusting the non-zero value (-MFC)offset) Saving to a cyclic array a with the length of L;
(2) when the real-time state is synchronous and the SNR is lower than the SNR threshold delta, the internal clock control unit MFC detects the frame head relative deviation value periodicallyoffsetAccumulating, when the absolute value of the accumulated value reaches the regulation threshold beta, the internal clock control unit will accumulate the MFCsumTaking the inverse as the step length to adjust the current timing reference position, and adjusting the value (-MFC)sum) Saving to a circulation array a, and simultaneously, returning the accumulated value to zero;
(3) when the real-time state is out of step and the SNR is higher than or equal to the SNR threshold, only accumulating the frame header relative deviation value, and not adjusting the timing reference position;
(4) and when the real-time state is out-of-step and the SNR is lower than the signal-to-noise ratio threshold delta, the air interface synchronization result has the lowest confidence coefficient, and no processing is performed at the moment.
Here, the loop array a defaults to store the latest L adjustment values, before each data write, the loop array a adds 1 to the serial numbers of all elements in the loop array a and shifts the contents of the elements backward, that is, a (L-1) ═ a (L-2), a (L-2) ═ a (L-3) · a (2) ═ a (1), a (1) ═ a (0), the original L-th element is overwritten, and finally the current data is stored to the first bit a (0) of the array.
The adjustment threshold β is set to T minimum time units, and the minimum time units are related to the sampling rate of the system, for example, in an LTE system with 20M bandwidth, the 30.72M sampling rate corresponds to β ═ T × (1/30720000) s.
The invention obtains and executes the timing reference adjustment strategy by comprehensively pre-judging the comparison result of the real-time state of the system, the SNR and the SNR threshold, and can flexibly carry out dynamic compensation aiming at the real-time state of the system by setting a plurality of adjustment values and storing the adjustment values by a circulating array.
Based on any of the above embodiments, step S5 includes:
accumulating a plurality of adjustment values in the cyclic array to obtain a first accumulated value, taking the number of the plurality of adjustment values as a first pre-compensation period, adjusting the current timing reference position based on the first accumulated value and the first pre-compensation period, and determining the current synchronization state after the first pre-compensation period is finished;
if the first accumulated value is 0, removing the last adjustment value in the plurality of adjustment values, accumulating the rest adjustment values to obtain a second accumulated value, taking the number of the plurality of adjustment values minus 1 as a second pre-compensation period, adjusting the current timing reference position based on the second accumulated value and the second pre-compensation period, and determining the current synchronization state after the second pre-compensation period is finished;
and by analogy, if the real-time synchronization state is out-of-step in the current pre-compensation period, entering the next pre-compensation period to continue pre-compensation.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the adaptive pre-compensation proposed by the present invention specifically includes:
and accumulating and summing the L adjustment values stored in the current cyclic array to obtain an accumulated value Sum0, adjusting the current timing reference position by the indoor branch base station by taking L as a period and Sum0 as a step length, detecting the current synchronization state after the current precompensation period is finished, and selecting to continue the precompensation process or quit the precompensation process according to the result.
Further, if Sum0 is 0, then continue to calculate Sum1 ═ Σ { a (0), a (1), …, a (L-2) }, change the pre-compensation adjustment step size to Sum1, and the pre-compensation period to L-1.
The invention dynamically adjusts the adjustment value in the cyclic array by adopting the self-adaptive pre-compensation processing flow and aiming at whether the current state of the system meets the synchronization requirement, thereby realizing the real-time synchronous compensation of the system offset.
Based on any embodiment above, still include:
and if the real-time synchronous states are synchronous in the continuous preset number detection periods after the current pre-compensation period is finished, closing the self-adaptive pre-compensation and recovering the timing reference adjustment mechanism.
It should be noted that, after the current pre-compensation period is over, the present invention continues to detect X periods continuously, if the real-time synchronization states are all synchronous, the adaptive pre-compensation is closed, and the indoor sub-base station recovers the timing reference adjustment mechanism to continue to maintain the air interface synchronization state. Where X is a positive integer greater than 0, the present invention assumes that X > -3 and X < L, ensuring that the detection period has a certain number but is not infinite.
According to the method, after the self-adaptive pre-compensation, the periodic detection is continuously supplemented, so that the self-adaptive pre-compensation process is closed after the system enters a stable synchronous state, and system resources are effectively saved.
