Description

AIS signal frame synchronization method, AIS signal frame synchronization device, AIS signal frame synchronization equipment and storage medium
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of digital communications technologies, and in particular, to an AIS signal frame synchronization method, apparatus, device, and storage medium.
Background
Synchronization techniques are very important in digital communication systems, and in general, digital communication systems need to implement multiple synchronization functions to achieve correct data communication tasks. Synchronization in communication systems can be divided into carrier synchronization, bit synchronization, frame synchronization, and network synchronization. Wherein frame synchronization is to find the arrival of a frame, or the beginning of a frame, for separating different frames. For time division multiplexing signals, to correctly distinguish each signal at the receiving end, as the transmitting end should first add some special codes to the head or tail of the information stream to make distinguishing marks so that the receiving end can correctly distinguish the information, then the process of acquiring and distinguishing the information streams at the receiving end is called frame synchronization.
The automatic identification system (Automatic Identification System, AIS) is a novel navigation aid system integrating marine vessel identification, safety monitoring and communication navigation functions between vessels and base stations. Because the AIS receiving and transmitting system has the characteristics of larger channel time variation, larger Doppler frequency offset, large-range time delay and the like, the received AIS signal demodulation judgment error is caused, and the error rate is high, so that high-sensitivity synchronous timing and signal-to-noise ratio estimation is required.
The traditional AIS signal synchronization timing method comprises an energy detection method, a correlation detection method, a maximum likelihood method and the like, but the energy detection method has poor noise resistance, the correlation detection method needs to finish carrier synchronization before frame synchronization, and the maximum likelihood method has high algorithm complexity, strict requirement on channel estimation and difficult engineering realization. In engineering implementation, the method generally needs to set a decision threshold of a correlation peak value in advance, and if the power of a transmitter changes, a channel fades, a frequency offset changes greatly and the like, the decision condition also changes accordingly, and the fixed decision threshold value can cause the problems of inaccurate synchronization timing, high false alarm rate and the like.

Example 1
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of an AIS signal frame synchronization method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a case of performing synchronization timing in digital communication, and the method may be applied to an AIS signal frame synchronization device, where the device may be implemented in a form of hardware and/or software, and where the device may be configured in an electronic device. As shown in fig. 1, the method includes:
s110, receiving the complex baseband signal, and performing differential conversion processing on the complex baseband signal to obtain a first differential conversion result.
The complex baseband signal is obtained by sampling a GMSK (Gaussian minimum shift keying, gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keying) signal received by an AIS (Automatic Identification System, automatic ship identification system) receiver from an antenna through an ADC (analog to digital converter) after passing through a radio frequency channel, and performing DDC down-conversion and filtering.
In this embodiment, the AIS is a novel navigation aid system integrating functions of marine vessel identification, safety monitoring and communication navigation between a vessel and a base station, and is composed of a shore-based receiving facility, a satellite-based receiving facility and shipborne equipment, and a slipway provided with the AIS equipment can automatically broadcast relevant information such as dynamic information, static information, voyage information and the like of the vessel to other vessels and base stations, so that the navigation condition of the vessels in the nearby sea area is mastered. According to the standard protocol of the AIS, the burst slot structure is shown in fig. 2, and is composed of a start buffer, a training sequence, a start flag, information bits, a frame detection sequence, an end flag and an end buffer.
Optionally, the AIS receiver receives GMSK signals from the antenna, performs ADC sampling on the GMSK signals after passing through the radio frequency channel, performs DDC down-conversion and filtering processing to obtain complex baseband signals, and then performs differential conversion on the complex baseband signals. Differential transformation is a commonly used method of signal processing, by which signals can be converted into another form for better analysis and processing. For the complex baseband signal obtained in this step, differential transformation can be completed by a method of shifting left and right by half symbol periods, respectively, and then performing conjugate multiplication. Where symbol period (i.e., symbol width) refers to the time width occupied by the transmission symbol.
Wherein, the expression of the complex baseband signal is as follows:
wherein n is the sampling time, T s For sampling time interval, Φ 0 For the initial phase, the range of values is [ -pi, pi],Φ s Delta as instantaneous phase f For carrier frequency offset, r (n) is the obtained complex baseband signal, and z (n) is noise.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a differential conversion process of a complex baseband signal according to an embodiment of the present invention, where as shown in the drawing, a complex baseband signal r (n) is shifted left and right by half a symbol period, and then conjugate multiplication is performed to obtain a first differential conversion result as follows:
Wherein T is the code element period, n is the sampling time, T s For sampling time interval r * Is the conjugate of r.
And S120, sending the first differential transformation result into a set time window, carrying out differential energy detection on the first differential transformation result, and determining the detected maximum window energy as a decision reference threshold.
The time window is a set time period, the differential energy detection is to detect the signal energy in the time window, and the maximum window energy is the signal energy maximum value corresponding to the time window.
In this embodiment, for a standard protocol signal in AIS communication, in the differential energy detection process, from the start buffer of the signal, as the signal gradually enters a time window, the window energy gradually becomes larger until the signal energy stabilizes, the signal completely enters, and the window energy reaches a maximum value.
Optionally, the signal after differential transformation, that is, the first differential transformation result is sent to a set time window, differential energy detection is performed on the time window, and the detected maximum window energy is determined as a decision reference threshold value, so that the method can be used for judging the frame synchronization identification point in the subsequent step. In order to avoid the influence of burst noise, a sliding window moving recursion summation method can be used for window difference energy detection, and the basic principle is that at each sampling time n, a new value is added in the summation, and an old value is discarded. The following is the calculation of this moving recursive summation:
Wherein l is the number of window symbols in the time window, e n For decision variables, the cumulative sum of the received signal energy at the number of window symbols, i, is expressed as:
when n is the stable moment of signal energy, E n+1 I.e. the maximum window energy required in this step.
S130, modulating and differential converting the local training sequence to obtain a second differential conversion result.
Where the local training sequence is a known symbol (at the head of a frame) preceding the transmitted data frame, and may be used for time and frequency synchronization and channel estimation at the receiving end, the processing acts in the time domain, typically in the form of one or more consecutive symbols.
In this embodiment, the local training sequence may be a constant 0,1 alternating sequence, and may be subjected to NRZI (No Return to Zero Inverted-reverse non-return-to-zero) encoding first and then GMSK modulation mapping, where the signal expression of the modulation signal of the local training sequence is as follows:
wherein T is time, n is sampling time, h is modulation index, GMSK takes 1/2, L is symbol correlation length, q (T) represents phase shaping function of Gaussian filter, T is symbol period, a i Represents the sequence of 0,1 alternating sequence after NRZI coding.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a modulation process of a local training sequence according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the local training sequence is subjected to NRZI coding and GMSK modulation to obtain a corresponding modulation signal as shown in the figure. The GMSK modulation step comprises Gaussian filtering and phase integration, and an in-phase component and a quadrature component obtained after the phase integration are added to obtain a modulation signal pream (t) of a local training sequence.
Then, the pream (t) is shifted left and right by half a code element period respectively, and conjugate multiplication is carried out to obtain a second differential transformation result as follows:
wherein T is symbol period, T s For sampling time intervals, pream * Is the conjugation of pream.
And S140, performing cross-correlation calculation processing on the first differential transformation result and the second differential transformation result, and determining a frame synchronization identification point of the complex baseband signal according to the decision reference threshold and the cross-correlation calculation result.
The meaning of the cross-correlation of the two functions is: the complex conjugate and inverse translation are integrated infinitely by multiplying the two functions, respectively. Physically, the result of the cross-correlation operation reflects a measure of similarity between the two signals. The frame synchronization mark point is the position where the frame synchronization mark is located, and the frame synchronization mark is a mark for starting the useful signal, and is used for indicating that the position is followed by a bit containing useful information in the signal.
In this embodiment, after the first differential conversion result and the second differential conversion result after differential conversion of the received complex baseband signal and the local training sequence are obtained, a calculated value of each sampling moment can be obtained through cross-correlation operation, then, peak values in the calculated values of the cross-correlations are compared, and auxiliary judgment is performed according to a decision reference threshold value, so that a target peak value in the calculated values is obtained, and a signal position corresponding to the target peak value, namely, a frame synchronization identification point.
Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a cross-correlation process provided in the embodiment of the present invention, where, as shown in the drawing, after differential transformation is performed on a modulation signal of a local training sequence and a received complex baseband signal, the cross-correlation calculation is performed on the results of the two differential transformations, and then a target peak value in each cross-correlation calculation value is found.
Optionally, the first differential transformation result Δ obtained according to equation (2) rr (n) and a second differential transformation result delta obtained according to formula (6) pream (n) performing cross-correlation calculation and writing into a convolution form as follows:
in the method, in the process of the invention,the cross-correlation calculation result at the sampling time n is shown.
Preferably, the calculation result value may be calculatedAs a reference point, if->Is greater than->And is also greater than- >At the same time->And is also greater than the decision reference threshold, so that the starting point of the signal is n-1, namely, the signal position corresponding to the n-1 sampling moment is determined as the frame synchronization identification point of the complex baseband signal.
The invention discloses an AIS signal frame synchronization method, which comprises the steps of firstly receiving a complex baseband signal, and performing differential conversion processing on the complex baseband signal to obtain a first differential conversion result; then sending the first differential transformation result into a set time window, carrying out differential energy detection on the first differential transformation result, and determining the detected maximum window energy as a decision reference threshold; modulating and performing differential transformation on the local training sequence to obtain a second differential transformation result; and finally, carrying out cross-correlation calculation processing on the first differential transformation result and the second differential transformation result, and determining the frame synchronization identification point of the complex baseband signal according to the decision reference threshold and the cross-correlation calculation result. According to the AIS signal frame synchronization method disclosed by the invention, the decision reference threshold is determined according to the differential energy detection result after differential transformation of the received signal, and the self-adaptive decision threshold is provided for peak value determination of the subsequent cross-correlation calculation result, so that the sensitivity of frame synchronization is improved, and the influence of external channel variation is avoided. And the synchronization method for carrying out cross-correlation calculation on the received signal and the local training sequence and then searching the peak value is simple to realize, low in operand and less affected by frequency offset.
Example two
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of an AIS signal frame synchronization method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where the method may be applied to an AIS signal frame synchronization device, and this embodiment is a refinement of the foregoing embodiment. As shown in fig. 6, the method includes:
s210, receiving the complex baseband signal, and performing differential conversion processing on the complex baseband signal to obtain a first differential conversion result.
In this embodiment, the AIS system receives GMSK signals through a receiver antenna, performs ADC sampling on the GMSK signals after passing through a radio frequency channel, performs DDC down-conversion and filtering processing to obtain complex baseband signals, and then performs differential conversion on the complex baseband signals. Differential transformation is a commonly used method of signal processing, by which signals can be converted into another form for better analysis and processing. For the complex baseband signal obtained in this step, differential transformation can be completed by a method of shifting left and right by half symbol periods, respectively, and then performing conjugate multiplication. Where symbol period (i.e., symbol width) refers to the time width occupied by the transmission symbol. The signal expression of the first differential transformation result may be as shown in formula (2) in the above-described embodiment.
S220, sending the first differential transformation result into a set time window, and respectively determining the first window energy of the first time window and the second window energy of the second time window at each sampling moment.
The time window comprises a first time window and a second time window, the first time window and the second time window are connected in front of and behind, and the number of window symbols is consistent with the number of symbols of a starting buffer zone of the complex baseband signal.
In this embodiment, in order to obtain more accurate maximum window energy, a manner of performing packet differential energy detection by using a dual sliding window may be adopted, that is, two consecutive time windows, i.e., a first time window and a second time window, are set, the lengths of the two time windows are equal, the number of signal symbols included in the windows, i.e., the number of window symbols, is also equal, and the number of symbols in the initial buffer of the complex baseband signal is set. For example, if the starting buffer length is 8 bits, the oversampling multiple is 4, and the number of symbols in the starting buffer is 32, the number of window symbols in each window is 32.
Alternatively, packet detection is an approximate estimate of the start of a data packet, i.e. whether new data arrives on the channel in burst mode, and when no data packet arrives, the signal r is received n Of only noise, i.e. r n =z n The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the And when a data packet arrives, the signal r is received n Adding the component s of the data signal n I.e. r n =s n +z n . Thus, the first window energy and the second window energy can be determined separately, and packet detection can be performed based on the change in the received signal energy value.
And S230, if the continuous set times of the energy of the first window are larger than the energy of the second window, determining the last sampling time as the signal energy stabilizing time.
Wherein, the set times is equal to the number of window symbols of each time window.
In this embodiment, since the first time window and the second time window are in a front-to-back adjacent relationship, the signal will first enter the first time window and then enter the second time window, and the number of symbols in the window is consistent with the number of symbols in the initial buffer zone of the complex baseband signal, so that the energy of the first window gradually increases before the signal energy stabilizes at a moment, and the energy of the second window remains unchanged; at the moment of signal energy stabilization, the energy of the first window reaches the maximum value, and the energy of the second window is still the minimum value; after the moment of signal energy stabilization, the first window energy remains unchanged and the second window energy starts to increase gradually. Taking the initial buffer area length as 8 bits and the oversampling multiple as 4 as an example, the number of window symbols of each window is 32, and if the first window energy is continuously 32 times greater than the second window energy, determining the 32 th sampling time as the signal energy stabilizing time.
Alternatively, a detection variable M may be defined n =A n /B n The energy of the first window is continuously set for times larger than that of the second window, namely M n The continuous setting times is more than 1, and the time when the maximum value occurs is the signal energy stabilizing time n p
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a window energy variation according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which A and B represent a first time window and a second time window, respectively, A n And B n The first window energy and the second window energy are respectively represented, each window contains the same number of symbols, and according to the frame structure of AIS, the number of window symbols is set as the number of symbols of a starting buffer (Ramp-Up), and A is before the stable moment of signal energy n Gradually increase, B n Maintaining unchanged; after the moment of signal energy stabilization, A n Almost remain unchanged, B n And starts to increase again; and at the moment of signal energy stabilization, A n Reach maximum value, B n Still at a minimum. Detecting variable M n At the signal energy stabilization time n p Reaching a maximum.
S240, taking the first window energy at the moment of signal energy stabilization as the maximum window energy, and determining the detected maximum window energy as a decision reference threshold.
In the present embodiment, the signal energy stabilization moment n is determined p Thereafter, a first window energy A may be present at this time peak As the maximum window energy and as a decision reference threshold. A is that peak The value can be used asThe reference threshold for the decision is searched for subsequent sync peaks.
Further, after determining the signal energy stabilization moment, it is also possible to: and determining the ratio of the first window energy and the second window energy at the moment of stabilizing the signal energy as the signal-to-noise ratio estimated value of the complex baseband signal.
In this embodiment, at the time of signal energy stabilization, the first window energy includes the sum of signal energy and noise energy, and the second window energy includes only noise energy, so that the following signal-to-noise ratio estimation value can be obtained:
wherein M is peak For the signal-to-noise ratio estimation value, A peak For at signal energy stabilization moment n p Is the first window energy of B np For at signal energy stabilization moment n p Is set to the second window energy of (2).
S250, modulating and performing differential transformation processing on the local training sequence to obtain a second differential transformation result.
In this embodiment, the local training sequence may be a constant 0,1 alternating sequence, and may be first coded by NRZI (No Return to Zero Inverted —reverse non-return to zero), then mapped by GMSK modulation, then shifted left and right by half a symbol period, and finally conjugate multiplied, where the signal expression for obtaining the second differential transformation result may be as shown in equation (6) in the above embodiment.
S260, performing cross-correlation calculation processing on the first differential transformation result and the second differential transformation result, and performing peak detection on the cross-correlation calculation result according to the decision reference threshold value to obtain a target peak value.
