Description

Channel simulation method, device, system, device and computer readable storage medium
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a channel simulation method, device, system, device and computer readable storage medium.
Background
Because the wireless channel test has no repeatability, the channel problem cannot be reproduced, the performance comparison is unreliable, the actual shielding room or household environment channels have great difference, and the test results of different places are difficult to compare. Thus, channel simulators have been developed. The channel simulator is an instrument for simulating a real wireless channel, and can process wireless signals through a channel model to simulate a real scene channel so as to restore test results and duplicate channel problems. And because different wireless signal interferences exist in the actual environment, the interference scene needs to be restored in the interference test so as to achieve the purpose of the actual test. Therefore, based on the channel simulator, the channel scene with interference can be simulated by injecting the interference signal.
In the related art, as shown in fig. 1, a BS (base station) port and a User Equipment (UE) port on a channel simulator are used to access a test device (device under test, DUT) and a communication Station (STA), respectively, to simulate a communication channel between the DUT and the communication STA, and an interference signal is injected into the communication channel by using an unnecessary BS port and UE port on the channel simulator to access an Access Point (AP) and/or an interference STA. Taking the example of simultaneously accessing the interference AP and the interference STA to simulate that different interference signals exist in the actual environment, because the single-side port of the channel simulator is isolated, the interference signals should generate bidirectional interference on the communication channel to the DUT and the communication STA, so that the interference signals can couple the BS port and the UE port to generate interference to the DUT and the communication STA, and the interference signals generated by the interference AP and the interference STA need to be uniformly divided into two sides which are connected to the channel simulator through external wires.
As can be seen from fig. 1, in the related art, the interference signal needs to be divided into two parts and connected to two sides of the channel simulator through external wires, and the wire structure is complex. In addition, in the related art, the interference signals occupy the BS port and the UE port of the channel simulator, which causes resource waste of high-cost ports.

In the embodiment of the application, the simulated channel has a channel coefficient, and the channel coefficient is preset, such as manually based on experience or according to the requirement of a simulation scene, or is generated by channel simulation equipment through a coefficient generation model. In the channel simulation process, a communication type channel coefficient and an interference type channel coefficient are set or defined in the channel simulation device, wherein the communication type channel coefficient comprises channel coefficients of channels from one type of port to two types of port (namely, a first communication type channel coefficient), channel coefficients of channels from two types of port to one type of port (namely, a second communication type channel coefficient), the interference type channel coefficient comprises channel coefficients of channels from three types of port to one type of port (namely, a first interference type channel coefficient), and channel coefficients of channels from three types of port to two types of port (namely, a second interference type channel coefficient).

The following describes a channel simulation method provided in the embodiments of the present application.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a channel simulation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method is applied to a channel simulation device, see fig. 5, and comprises the following steps:
501: in the channel simulation process, communication signals injected through one type of ports are coupled to two types of ports based on first communication type channel coefficients of channels between the one type of ports (BS ports) and the two types of ports (UE ports), and interference signals injected through three types of ports are coupled to the two types of ports based on second interference type channel coefficients of channels between the three types of ports (interference ports) and the two types of ports.
In the embodiment of the application, three types of ports are added to the channel simulation device, namely, an interference port is added, and the interference port can couple interference signals to two sides of the channel simulation device at the same time, namely, a BS port (namely, a type one port) and a UE port (namely, a type two port).
The channel simulation device can set or define communication type channel coefficients and interference type channel coefficients, wherein the communication type channel coefficients comprise channel coefficients of channels from one type of port to two types of port (namely, first communication type channel coefficients) and channel coefficients of channels from two types of port to one type of port (namely, second communication type channel coefficients), and the interference type channel coefficients comprise channel coefficients of channels from three types of port to one type of port (namely, first interference type channel coefficients) and channel coefficients of channels from three types of port to two types of port (namely, second interference type channel coefficients). That is, the channels between the class one port and the class two port have a first communication class channel coefficient, the channels between the class two port and the class one port have a second communication class channel coefficient, the channels between the class three port and the class one port have a first interference class channel coefficient, and the channels between the class three port and the class two port have a second interference class channel coefficient.
In the embodiment of the application, the interference signal can be coupled to the first-class port and the second-class port to generate interference on the communication between the devices connected by the first-class port and the second-class port. Based on this, in the channel simulation process, one implementation of the signal coupling process between ports in the process that the first communication device (such as DUT) sends a signal to the second communication device (such as communication STA) is: the channel simulation device couples communication signals injected through one type of ports to the two type of ports based on the first communication type channel coefficients, and couples interference signals injected through three types of ports to the two type of ports based on the second interference type channel coefficients.
The channel coefficient is defined, which is essentially defined as a radio channel between ports, the radio channel defined between the BS port and the UE port is a communication channel, and the radio channel defined between the interfering port and the BS port and between the interfering port and the UE port is an interfering channel. In the embodiment of the present application, no wireless channel is defined between each BS port, and no wireless channel is defined between each UE port.
Optionally, signals of the first class port and the second class port can also be coupled to the three classes of ports, which affects the interfering devices connected to the three classes of ports. That is, the channel simulation device further sets or defines channel coefficients of channels between the class one port and the class three ports (i.e., third interference class channel coefficients), and channel coefficients of channels between the class two port and the class three ports (i.e., fourth interference class channel coefficients). That is, the channels between the class one port and the class three ports have a third interference class channel coefficient, and the channels between the class two ports and the class three ports have a fourth interference class channel coefficient. Based on this, in the channel simulation process, the communication signals injected through the first class of ports are coupled to the three classes of ports based on the third interference class channel coefficients, and the communication signals injected through the second class of ports are coupled to the three classes of ports based on the fourth interference class channel coefficients.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a signal coupling manner in channel simulation according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 6, a BS port (X 1 ) One UE port (Y 1 ) And an interference port (Z 1 ) Signal coupling between them is exemplified by the formula

Alternatively, the signals of the BS port and the UE port can also be coupled to the interference port, using formula Z 1 out =Coef 5 *X 1 go into +Coef 6 *X 1 go into Representation, wherein Coef 5 Channel coefficient, coef, representing the channel between BS port to interference port 6 Representing the channel coefficients of the channel from the UE port to the interfering port.
From the foregoing, it can be seen that three types of ports of the channel simulation device provided in the embodiments of the present application include one or more interference ports. If the three types of ports include a plurality of interference ports, any two interference ports in the plurality of interference ports are connected inside the channel simulation device, and the interference channel coefficients further include channel coefficients of channels between any two interference ports, for example, a channel between a first interference port and a second interference port in any two interference ports has a fifth interference channel coefficient, and a channel between the second interference port and the first interference port has a sixth interference channel coefficient.
The signal coupling relation in the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking an example that the channel simulation device includes a class of ports including M BS ports, a class of ports including N UE ports, and a class of ports including K interference ports. Wherein one type of port is denoted by reference numeral X m Denoted m=1, …, M, ports of the second class are denoted by reference numeral Y n N=1, …, N, three types of ports are denoted by reference numeral Z k Denoted k=1, …, K. The output signals of the ports are represented by formulas (1), (2) and (3), respectively:
Figure BDA0002918658320000101
Figure BDA0002918658320000102
Figure BDA0002918658320000103
where cofe_nm represents a channel coefficient of a channel between an mth BS port and an nth UE port, and cofe_mn represents a channel coefficient of a channel between an nth UE port and an mth BS port. coef_nk represents the channel coefficient of the channel between the kth interfering port and the nth UE port, coef_kn represents the channel coefficient of the channel between the nth UE port and the kth interfering port. coef_mk represents the channel coefficients of the channel between the kth interfering port and the mth BS port, and coef_km represents the channel coefficients of the channel between the mth BS port and the kth interfering port. coef_kk 'represents the channel coefficient of the channel between the kth' interfering port to the kth interfering port. The channel associated with the interference port is an interference channel, the channel coefficient of the interference channel is an interference channel coefficient, and the channel coefficients of other channels are communication channel coefficients.
As can be seen from the above formula, the output signals of the first class of ports are determined by the input signals of the second class of ports and the third class of ports, the output signals of the second class of ports are determined by the input signals of the first class of ports and the third class of ports, and the output signals of the third class of ports are determined by the first class of ports, the second class of ports and the other three classes of ports.
In the embodiment of the present application, the form of each channel coefficient cofe in the above formulas (1) to (3) is plural, and two forms of channel coefficients, i.e., a complex form (convolution form) and a simple form, are described herein.
1. Channel coefficients of complex form (complex coefficients)
As shown in fig. 7, the channel coefficient cofe of the channel from one port to another is composed of one or more taps, denoted cofe1, cofe2, … …, respectively. Each tap corresponds to a delay and a tap coefficient (e.g., complex coefficient). Assuming that there are J taps corresponding to delay 1, delay 2, … …, delay J, and coefficient 1 (cofe 1), coefficient 2 (cofe 2), … …, coefficient J (cofeJ), respectively, the signal before convolution is Sin (t), that is, the input signal of one port is Sin (t), after convolution processing based on the channel coefficient cofe, the output signal coupled to the other port is Sout (t), that is, the signal after convolution is Sout (t), where t represents time, then the convolution can be represented by formula (4):
Sout(t)=coef1*Sin(t-delay1)+coef2*Sin(t-delay2)+……+cofeJ*Sin(t-delayJ) (4)
In the signal coupling process shown in fig. 7, the input signal Sin of one port is multiplied by the j-th tap coefficient after passing through the delay j corresponding to the j-th tap, and then superimposed on the output signal Sout of the other port. Note that, sin and Sout shown in fig. 7 may be signals injected by a first class port and a second class port, or signals injected by a first class port and a third class port, or signals injected by a second class port and a third class port, or signals injected by a third class port and a first class port, or signals injected by a third class port and a second class port, or signals injected by two and three class ports, respectively.
The input signal of one port is coupled to another port as shown in fig. 7. In practice, the input signal of more than one port will be coupled to the same port, as in the channel simulation device shown in fig. 2 and 3, one UE port is interconnected with a plurality of BS ports, which are all capable of coupling signals injected by the plurality of BS ports to the UE port. As shown in fig. 8, the input signals 1 to n of the plurality of ports are commonly coupled to the output signal 1 of another port, wherein the coupling process of each input signal is similar to that shown in fig. 7, and each input signal is coupled through a corresponding plurality of taps and then superimposed to the output signal 1.
2. Channel coefficient of simple form (simple coefficient)
In one implementation, the channel coefficients in a simple form need only be multiplied or convolved with the signal without complex delays, such as
Figure BDA0002918658320000111
Input signal X 1 go into And channel coefficient cofe 1 Performing convolution operation to input signal Z 1 go into And channel coefficient coef 3 Simply multiply.
In the present embodiment, the channel coefficients in a simple form indicate attenuation or gain, but also phase. The channel coefficients in simple form include one or more of decibel (dB) value coefficients, linear value coefficients, complex value coefficients, attenuation plus phase coefficients, gain plus phase coefficients.
As shown in fig. 9, in mode 1 of processing a signal coupling relation based on a simple form of channel coefficient, an input signal of one port is attenuated or gained and then phase-processed, and then coupled to an output signal of the other port. In mode 2, the input signal of one port is multiplied by a complex coefficient and then coupled to the output signal of the other port, i.e. the attenuation/gain and phase are directly replaced by a complex coefficient (also called complex coefficient), the modulus of the complex coefficient indicates attenuation or gain, the modulus is less than 1 indicates attenuation, the modulus is greater than 1 indicates gain, the modulus is 0 indicates that the input signal is not coupled to the output, and the phase of the complex is indicative of phase.
The channel coefficients of two types, i.e., the complex form and the simple form, given in the embodiments of the present application are described above, but the communication channel coefficient and the interference channel coefficient set or defined in the channel simulation device in the embodiments of the present application may be any type of channel coefficient, and the complex coefficient and the simple coefficient may also be used in a mixed manner, for example, the communication channel coefficient includes a complex coefficient and a simple coefficient, and the interference channel coefficient includes a simple coefficient and a complex coefficient, that is, in the embodiments of the present application, the channel coefficient allowed to be customized from any port to another port is a simple coefficient or a complex coefficient.
Optionally, since the communication channel between the DUT and the communication STA is often complex, such as a multipath channel, and the channel simulation device needs to accurately simulate the multipath channel, in the embodiment of the present application, the channel coefficient of the channel between the BS port and the UE port is defined as a complex coefficient, so as to better simulate a real multipath environment, that is, the communication channel coefficient is a channel coefficient in a complex form. Optionally, since the interference in the real environment is generally simply attenuation/gain and phase of the signal, in the embodiment of the present application, the interference channel coefficient is defined as a channel coefficient in a simple form, that is, the interference channel coefficient associated with the three types of ports indicates attenuation or gain, the interference channel coefficient also indicates phase, and the interference channel coefficient includes one or more of a dB value coefficient, a linear value coefficient, a complex value coefficient, an attenuation plus phase coefficient, and a gain plus phase coefficient. Because the complex coefficient is to be realized by a plurality of taps including time delay, the interference in the real wireless channel can be simulated by using the simple coefficient in the embodiment of the application, and the complex coefficient is not used, so that the coefficient realization cost can be reduced.
In the embodiment of the present application, if the channel coefficient of the channel between any one interference port and any other port is defined as the specified coefficient, in the channel simulation process, the signal injected through any interference port cannot be coupled to any other port. If the interference channel coefficient of the channel between any other port and any interference port is defined as the designated coefficient, the signal injected by any other port cannot be coupled to any interference port in the channel simulation process. In one implementation, the designated coefficient is zero, or some other small value, such that the strength of the signal processed based on the designated coefficient is weak and filtered out by the port (e.g., the port sets a signal sensitivity threshold, signals less than the signal sensitivity threshold are zeroed out and do not participate in coupling). Based on this, hidden nodes, such as wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, wi-Fi) hidden nodes, may be simulated by defining certain channel coefficients as specified coefficients. In one implementation of the analog hidden node, the channel coefficient defining the channel between all ports connected to one device and the other port is zero, or the channel coefficient between the other port and the channel between all ports connected to the device is zero, so that the device is a hidden node, and the device connected to the other port is also a hidden node for the device, that is, the two devices are hidden nodes. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, assuming that the channel coefficients defining the channels between the interference port 2 to all BS ports are zero, indicating that the interference port 2 and all BS ports are not interworking, the DUT and the interfering STA are not visible to each other.
Optionally, because signals sent by other devices connected to the channel simulation device may be coupled to the port of the channel simulation device through the air interface, that is, form that the air interface signal is coupled to the port, and cause simulation errors, in order to avoid coupling of the air interface signal, in the embodiment of the present application, based on the characteristic that the air interface signal is weaker than the communication signal and the interference signal, a signal sensitivity threshold is set in the channel simulation device, and signals with signal strength of the input port lower than the channel sensitivity threshold do not participate in coupling, for example, the detected air interface signal is set to zero.
In the embodiment of the application, any interference port included in the three types of ports is provided with a signal sensitivity threshold, and the signal sensitivity threshold is used for avoiding the air interface signals from participating in coupling. Based on this, in the channel simulation process, the signal strength of one or more input signals of any one of the interference ports is measured, the one or more input signals include signals input to any one of the interference ports by a port connected to any one of the interference ports, and if an air interface signal whose signal strength is lower than a signal sensitivity threshold exists in the one or more input signals, signals other than the measured air interface signal participate in coupling, that is, the one or more input signals are measured to include an air interface signal, and the air interface signal does not participate in coupling.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the channel simulation device transmits the interference signal of STA1 to the interference port 1 through the air interface, and transmits the interference signal to the DUT through the interference port 1, so that the simulation error is caused, so that the input signal of the interference port 1 is measured, and when the signal strength of one input signal is detected to be less than the signal sensitivity threshold, it is indicated that the input signal is most likely an air interface signal, and the input signal is set to zero and does not participate in coupling.
502: communication signals injected through the second class of ports are coupled to the first class of ports based on second communication class channel coefficients of channels between the second class of ports and the first class of ports, and interference signals injected through the third class of ports are coupled to the first class of ports based on first interference class channel coefficients of channels between the third class of ports and the first class of ports.
In step 501, a method for processing a signal coupling relationship between ports in a process of transmitting a signal from a first communication device (e.g., DUT) to a second communication device (e.g., STA) is described, and similarly, a method for processing a signal coupling relationship between ports in a process of transmitting a signal from a second communication device to a first communication device is also similar, which is not described herein.
In this embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 10, the channel simulation device further includes a processor and a memory, where the processor includes an implementation module, and the memory includes a storage module. The processor processes the signal coupling relation between the ports through the implementation module according to the channel simulation method, and the memory stores the channel coefficients through the storage module.

And coupling the interference signals injected by the three types of ports to the first type of ports and the second type of ports based on the defined interference type channel coefficients.
