Description

Minimum mean square error channel estimation method of FBMC system
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to a minimum mean square error channel estimation method of an FBMC system.
Background
Multicarrier communication techniques, and in particular Filter Bank Multicarrier (FBMC) communication techniques, are used in wireless communications. Compared with the traditional Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology, each subcarrier of the FBMC adopts a prototype filter with low-frequency spectrum sidelobe, so that the FBMC can better support wireless communication scenes such as asynchronous transmission and the like. In addition, the FBMC can effectively resist the influence of a multipath fading channel without inserting a cyclic prefix, and the energy efficiency and the spectrum efficiency of the multi-carrier communication system are obviously improved. However, the orthogonality condition of the FBMC system is only satisfied in the real number domain, so that imaginary interference exists between the transmitted real number symbols, and the channel estimation of the FBMC system is more complicated due to the existence of the imaginary interference. At present, the channel estimation method in the FBMC system mainly includes two types:
(1) An interference approximation method, "c.l é, p.siohan, and r.legouable,"2dB tertiary CP-OFDM with OFDM/OQAM for preamble-based channel estimation, "IEEE International Conference on Communications, pp.1302-1306, may 2008", discloses a channel estimation method based on block pilots, which has the advantage of simple implementation. However, the method does not consider the correlation between the sub-carriers of the FBMC, and can not effectively inhibit the interference of the channel noise on the channel estimation, so that the error rate of the multi-carrier communication system is high.
(2) Pilot pair method, "c.l é, j. -, p.javaudin, r.legouable, a.skrzypczak, and p.siohan," Channel estimation methods for preamble-based OFDM/OQAM modulations, "European Wireless communications configurations, pp.59-64, mar.2007," discloses a Channel estimation method based on pilot pairs, one pilot is used to determine the mathematical relationship between the amplitude and phase of the Channel frequency response, and two pilots can solve the amplitude and phase of the subcarrier Channel frequency response. The method has the advantage of low pilot overhead without inserting an inclusion space between the pilot and the data symbols, but amplifies the interference of noise, so that the performance of the multi-carrier communication system is poor.
(3) The scattered pilot method, "w.cui, d.qu, t.jiang, and b.farang-Boroujeny," Coded adaptive pilots for channel estimation in FBMC-OQAM systems, "IEEE Transactions on vehicular technology, vol.65, no.5, pp.2936-2946, may.2016," discloses a channel estimation method based on scattered pilots to eliminate interference of data symbols on channel estimation by encoding data symbols around pilots. However, the method has high encoding and decoding complexity, and the channel estimation performance based on the scattered pilot structure is poor.
In summary, the disadvantages of the current FBMC system channel estimation method include: the correlation of the sub-carriers of the FBMC system is not considered, and the error rate of the multi-carrier system is large.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a channel estimation method based on the Bayesian minimum mean square error criterion by combining the correlation of sub-carriers of an FBMC system, and aims to solve the problem of poor channel estimation performance of the conventional FBMC system.
In order to achieve the above object, in one aspect, the present invention provides a channel estimation method based on bayesian minimum mean square error criterion, including:
(1) At a transmitting end, pilot frequency in a frame structure of the FBMC comprises 3 columns of symbols, a pilot frequency symbol generated randomly is placed in the middle column, the other two columns of symbols are placed at 0, and a data symbol is placed behind the pilot frequency symbol;
(2) Multiplying the pilot symbols and data symbols of each sub-carrier by the phase rotation factor e of the FBMC transmit module j π(m+n)/2
(3) Performing M/2 up-sampling on the signal multiplied by the phase rotation factor;
(4) Filtering the up-sampled signal by a prototype filter;
(5) Subcarrier modulation e of the filtered signal j2πmk/M And generating a time domain transmission signal.
Wherein, M is the number of the sub-carriers of the FBMC system, and M and n are respectively the serial number of the sub-carriers and the serial number of time.
Preferably, the non-zero pilot symbols used for channel estimation are generated by a random sequence of equal power;
preferably, the transmission signal is converted into a reception signal at the receiving end, and the demodulation process of the reception signal is as follows:
a. sub-carrier demodulation e is carried out on the received signal -j2πmk/M
b. Performing prototype filter filtering on the signal demodulated by the subcarrier;
c. performing M/2 down sampling on the filtered signal;
d. multiplying the down-sampled signal by a phase rotation factor e -jπ(m+n)/2 Obtaining a demodulation symbol;
e. calculating the mean value and the variance of noise in each subcarrier demodulation symbol to obtain an autocorrelation matrix of subcarrier noise;
f. and minimizing the Bayes minimum mean square error of the channel frequency response to obtain the coefficient of the channel frequency response.
h. Performing channel equalization, and dividing the demodulation symbol of each subcarrier by a channel frequency response coefficient obtained by channel estimation;
i. the signal obtained after the channel equalization is subjected to the operation of the real part, and the transmission symbol can be perfectly recovered.
Preferably, an autocorrelation matrix is calculated for the FBMC system subcarrier noise, which is correlated rather than independent.
Through the technical scheme, compared with the prior art, the invention can obtain the following advantages
Has the advantages that:
(1) The invention provides a minimum mean square error channel estimation method of an FBMC system.A pilot frequency symbol at a transmitting end is generated by a random signal with equal power, and the equal power of the pilot frequency ensures the fairness of channel estimation of each subcarrier. The pilot frequency symbols are randomly generated instead of fixed sequences, so that the peak-to-average power ratio of the FBMC multi-carrier communication system is reduced, and the power amplification efficiency of the wireless communication system is improved.
(2) The minimum mean square error channel estimation method of the FBMC system considers the correlation among subcarriers. Since the orthogonality condition of the FBMC system is only satisfied in the real number domain, imaginary interference exists between adjacent subcarriers and symbols, and therefore, the noise of the demodulated symbol is not gaussian white noise independent of each other, but gaussian noise with correlation. The correlation of channel noise has a large influence on the performance of channel estimation. The channel estimation method provided by the invention is based on the Bayesian minimum mean square error criterion, considers the correlation among the sub-carrier noises of the FBMC system, and can realize good error rate performance of the communication system.
