Embodiment
The present invention can realize catching fast of preamble under the simple circuit configuration relatively, and it is applicable to that the preamble that WCDMA communication system uplink multi-users inserts at random catches fast.
In the receiver of WCDMA communication system, be directed to the acquisition equipment that Random Access Channel (RACH) has a preamble.The preamble of RACH channel partly be by signature (signature is that a group length is totally 16 of 16 Hadamard, is used to indicate different users) through what form after the scrambler scrambling, as shown in the formula:
pre(n)=Scrm(n)*Sig(n)*exp(j*(PI/4+n*PI/2)),n=0,...,4095。
Wherein Scrm (n) represents the scrambler among the up RACH preamble, and Sig (n) represents certain signature, and the back is plural phase bit position.
The scrambler that the channel of WCDMA system uses is quadrature GOLD sign indicating number, length is 38400, it is used for distinguishing different channels or user, such as inserting at random for the multi-user, may have a plurality of users and ask to insert (promptly sending the RACH channel to the base station) simultaneously, we can by their having nothing in common with each other (which scrambler each user uses distributed by the base station unification) of using and mutually orthogonal scrambler be distinguished so.
At the composition of the preamble of WCDMA system RACH, the preamble acquisition equipment need carry out descrambling to received signal and number carry out the computing of Hadamard transform at all possible signature, thereby detects received signature number by result of calculation.Another free-revving engine of Preamble acquisition equipment is to carry out multipath to detect, so this device has adopted correlator bank to carry out correlation computations in the processing of descrambling, by to different skew (phase difference between the scrambler of local scrambler and received signal) thus under result of calculation compare multipath skew and the amplitude of obtaining.
One, the handling process of the present invention's employing is as follows:
1) scrambler of the input signal of 24 delay line tap and 16 outs of phase go to disturb correlation computations, obtain the correlated results under various (384 kinds) possible multipath drift condition.
2) to going to disturb the processing that later correlated results is removed phase factor.
3) adopt control to read and write the mode of RAM, carry out Hadamard transform, obtain being directed to the correlated results of 16 kinds of possible signatures.
4) the plural correlated results of above all that obtain is asked mould, obtain amplitude.
5) respectively 384 correlation magnitude of each signature are sorted, obtain the several correlation magnitude and the multi-path location of the corresponding maximum of each signature, and amplitude peak is greater than several signatures of thresholding number.
6) deposit court verdict in register so that read.
24 above-mentioned delay line tap have the time delay of 1/2 chip between the signal of per two taps, the scrambler of 16 outs of phase is time division multiplexing in 16 system clocks of a chip, phase phasic difference 12 chips of per two scramblers.
Two, acquisition equipment of the present invention
As shown in Figure 1, this device comprises correlator bank unit 1, code generator 2, Phase Processing unit 3, Hadamard transformation element 4, buffer unit 8, asks form unit 5, ordering and decision unit 6, court verdict memory cell 7, described code generator 2 is connected to correlator bank unit 1, between described correlator bank unit 1, Phase Processing unit 3 and Hadamard transformation element 4 threes and the buffer unit 8 all is bidirectional interconnect, described buffer unit 8, asks that form unit 5, ordering and decision unit 6, court verdict memory cell 7 are unidirectional successively to link to each other.
Code generator 2 is used to produce the required local scrambler of descrambling, as shown in Figure 5, it can produce 16 road scramblers time-division, and this 16 road scrambler is time division multiplexing in 16 system clocks of a chip (chip), the phase phasic difference 12chip between the adjacent scrambler of every two-way.Certainly this is a kind of selection at this design, and we also can pass through the parameter of configuration code generator inside, thereby controls the phase place of every road scrambler, can make capture range not be confined to 0 to 192chip like this, increases the flexibility of system acquisition scope.
As shown in Figure 2, correlator bank unit 1 comprises 24 delay cell 11 that is used for producing the different signals that postpone and 24 correlators 12 that are used for relevant descrambling, utilizes the signal that 12 pairs of delay line tap of correlator come and the scrambler of code generator 2 generations to carry out relevant descrambling computing.Owing to differ the phase place of 12chip between 16 road scramblers that code generator 2 produces successively, and 24 delay line tap signals differ the phase place of 1/2chip successively, so we can carry out 384 kinds of correlation computations under the different skews.
The structure of correlator inside as shown in Figure 4, it comprises two and adds/subtracter 121 and a multichannel control selector 122, the scrambler that produces by code generator to add/mode that subtracter is controlled realizes the relevant descrambling of signal, the intermediate object program that adds up deposits buffer unit 8 in.
Comprise 48 RAM81 in the buffer unit 8, storage I, Q circuit-switched data, shown in accompanying drawing 3A, Fig. 3 B, the size of RAM81 all is 256 * 14, each RAM81 is divided into 16 parts, they are in the different data of each of data processing storage in stage, and what deposit in correlation computations and each part of Phase Processing stage RAM81 is 16 correlations after adding up through 256 times on certain deviation post.And finish after the Hadamard transform, what deposit in each part of RAM81 is corresponding to the correlation (being the accumulation result of 4096chip) of 16 signatures on certain deviation post.
Phase Processing unit 3 is used to remove phase factor.
Hadamard transformation element 4 is used for 16 kinds of possible signatures are carried out Hadamard transform, as shown in Figure 6, Hadamard transformation element 4 comprises address generator 41, adder 42 and subtracter 43, and it links to each other with RAM81, adopts the mode of control read-write RAM81 to realize Hadamard transform.Shown in the figure is to be in sequence between two inputs and two output: 1) according to reading address 1 reading of data 1 from address 1; 2) according to reading address 2 reading of data 2 from address 2; 3) with the output of adder 42 be data 1 and data 2 and write in the address 1 of RAM81; 4) be that the difference of data 1 and data 2 writes in the address 2 of RAM81 with the output of subtracter 43.
When carrying out Hadamard transform, the data parallel of each correlator 12 is handled, and the also concurrent operation of IQ two-way of correlator inside so there is circuit 48 as shown in the figure to overlap altogether, that is to say also to comprise 48 RAM81 in buffer unit.To the I or the Q road correlated results of certain correlator, 4 butterfly computations of 16 each needs of Hadamard transform.The processing here is a first order butterfly of once finishing 16 Hadamard transforms, do again second and third, level Four.Each butterfly comprises a sub-addition, a subtraction, finishes in 4 clock cycle.From the angle of adder-subtractor, this four operation of clapping is: read address 1 data, read address 2 data and write address 1, difference writes address 2.It is as follows that read/write address produces: two addresses (4) of each butterfly have 3 identical, 8 butterflies for every grade, in " 000 " to " 111 " 8 count values insert ' 0 ' and ' 1 ' read/write address that promptly obtains each butterfly respectively, for 4 grades of butterfly computations, the insertion position is followed successively by " ^ * * * ", " * ^ * * ", " * * ^ * ", " * * * ^ ".
Ask form unit 5 to be used to ask for the amplitude of complex signal.
Ordering and decision unit 6 are used for the correlation magnitude under 384 kinds of skews of every kind of possible signature is compared, thereby obtain the wherein several amplitudes and the skew thereof of amplitude maximum, need in addition comparing between 16 amplitudes that may sign and between they and the detection threshold, thereby obtain surpassing several signatures number of the maximum of thresholding.
Court verdict memory cell 7 is used for the result that memory sequencing and decision unit obtain.
