Description

WCDMA mobile communication system space-time emission diversity receiver for indication channel and method of reseptance thereof

Technical field

The invention belongs to the digital wireless communication field, be specifically related to WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)) mobile communication system indicating channel STTD (space-time emission diversity) receiver and method of reseptance thereof.

Background technology

The indicating channel of WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA)) mobile communication system is a kind of common down channel, wherein AICH, AP-AICH, CD/CA-ICH channel have 0 ,+1 ,-1 three kind of value, encode by Hadamard (Hadamard) code conversion during coding.Thereby the signal of transmission is a multi-valued signal.Receiving terminal is deciphered with Hadamard sign indicating number inverse transformation.Therefore, these several channel receptivities are relatively more responsive to the amplitude characteristic of fading channel, must remove amplitude information when receiving.

WCDMA mobile communication system indicating channel can adopt the STTD receive mode, and it receives and uses Common Pilot Channel to do phase reference.

Fig. 1 is to use the routine of STTD to adopt the structure of the Rake receiver of high specific merging, comprise: a route searching and channel estimator 111, first, second two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices 12,13, first, second two maximal ratio combiners 14,15, one are separated a branch storage 16 and an adder 17; Described route searching and channel estimator 111 receive Common Pilot Channel signal and baseband signal, output to two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices 12,13 after matched filtering, each the descrambling and de-spreading device 12,13 in these two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices also receives Common Pilot Channel signal and baseband signal respectively simultaneously; Output to first maximal ratio combiner 14 from the descrambling and de-spreading signal of first group of descrambling and de-spreading device, 12 outputs, after merging, output to adder 17; Output to after second maximal ratio combiner 15 merges from the descrambling and de-spreading signal of second group of descrambling and de-spreading device 13 output and to separate branch storage 16, after separating diversity, output to adder 17.

In route searching and channel estimator 111, obtain the timing information and the channel estimation value of each paths; Utilize timing information and channel estimation value that receive channel is carried out descrambling and de-spreading in (1)-(n) of first group of descrambling and de-spreading device 12, n is the path number that is received; Signal behind the descrambling and de-spreading merges the back through high specific and exports as decoded signal.

In Fig. 1, in (1)～(n) of the first descrambling and de-spreading device 12 and the first antenna multipath one is corresponding, in (n+1)～(2n) of the second descrambling and de-spreading device 13 and the second antenna multipath one is corresponding, route searching is used to detect the synchronous of multipath signal with channel estimator 11 route searchings and channel estimator 11, provide the timing information of every paths and (n+1)～(2n) that channel estimation value is given the second descrambling and de-spreading device 13, second maximal ratio combiner carries out high specific to each footpath signal of descrambling and de-spreading device output and merges.

Generally speaking, route searching and channel estimator 11 be by forming the sliding correlation detector of continuous slip (sliding), perhaps form by the matched filter that is complementary with spreading code, or similar device.When the pilot signal of using first antenna is correlated with or during filtering, is obtained the timing and the channel estimating information of first antenna; When the pilot signal of using second antenna is correlated with or during filtering, is obtained the timing and the channel estimating information of second antenna.

The course of work of Rake receiver shown in Figure 1 is: at first, the multipath state of route searching and channel estimator 11 measured channel detects the path.Route searching and channel estimator 11 are sequentially operated (1)～(n) of the first descrambling and de-spreading device 12 and (n+1)～(2n) of the second descrambling and de-spreading device 13 in the detected cycle in path.That is, each of (n+1)～(2n) of the second descrambling and de-spreading device 13 receives different multi-path signals.

Multipath searching and channel estimator 11 provide two-way and output to two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices: timing relationship (a road) and channel estimation value (b road); Two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices utilize timing relationship and channel estimation value that input signal is operated, and realize the multi-path location alignment, remove phase place rotation and descrambling and de-spreading that channel brings, provide the restituted signal of Dan Jing.

The output of two groups of descrambling and de-spreading devices 12,13 is by two maximal ratio combiner 14,15 combinations respectively.Obtain the signal of first antenna after the signal combination of first antenna; After merging, the signal of second antenna to then by the signal plus of adder 17 and first antenna, obtain the received signal of conventional Rake through separating diversity 16.

In each parts of conventional STTD diversity Rake, the conversion of signal is as follows:

Do not consider additive noise (down together), establishing first antenna emission useful signal is S ₀, become abS through spectrum-spreading and scrambling ₀, become through behind the multipath: $S_1\left(t\right)=a(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_1)b(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_1)A_1{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_1}{S}_0(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_1)+...+a(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_n)b(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_n)A_n{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_n}{S}_0(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_n)$

If first antenna pilot channel signal after the spectrum-spreading and scrambling of emission is S ₂, then become through behind the multipath: $S_3\left(t\right)=A_1{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_1}{S}_2(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_1)+...+A_n{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_n}{S}_2(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_n)$

The channel estimation value that obtains each paths in route searching and the channel estimator 11 is

Arrive

, timing information is τ ₁, τ ₂τ _n

Utilize timing information and channel estimation value that receive channel is carried out descrambling and de-spreading in the descrambling and de-spreading device 2 (1)～2 (n), obtain removing signal behind the descrambling and de-spreading of Dan Jing of time delay

The descrambling and de-spreading signal of delaying when maximal ratio combiner is the handle removal carries out addition, first aerial signal that obtains receiving, promptly $S_1^{\′}=(A_1^2+A_2^2+...+A_n^2)S_0.$

The emission useful signal of second antenna is treated burst.If the signal after the conversion is S ₄, through spectrum-spreading and scrambling process, pass through multipath channel again after, signal becomes: $S_5\left(t\right)=a(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{n+1})b(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{n+1})A_{n+1}{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φn}+}_1}{S}_4(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{n+1})+...$ $+a(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{2n})b(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{2n})A_{2n}{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_{2n}}{S}_4(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{2n})$

If second antenna pilot channel signal after the spectrum-spreading and scrambling of emission is S ₆, then become through behind the multipath: $S_7\left(t\right)=A_{n+1}{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_{n+1}}{S}_6(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{n+1})+...+A_{n+n}{e}^{j{\mathrm{\φ}}_{n+n}}{S}_6(t-{\mathrm{\τ}}_{n+n})$

Process and first processing that antenna is same, through the process of the signal behind route searching and channel estimator 11 and the descrambling despreader 2 (n+1)～2 (2n) maximal ratio combiner 3 (2), second aerial signal that obtains receiving, $S_2^{\′}=(A_{n+1}^2+A_{n+2}^2+...+A_{n+n}^2)S_4.$

The signal of second antenna separated obtains the useful signal that will receive after the diversity: $S_2^{\′\′}=(B_{n+1}^2+B_{n+2}^2+...+B_{n+n}^2)S_0$

Wherein $B_{n+1}^2+B_{n+2}^2+...+B_{n+n}^2$ Be S ₀The fading channel characteristic of experience when corresponding signal transmits on second antenna.

At last, the signal of two antennas is merged, obtains the final signal that receives of conventional Rake by adder: $S=(A_1^2+...+A_n^2+B_{n+1}^2+...+B_{n+n}^2)S_0$

What receive with conventional Rake receiver is a received signal that comprises decline information, and signal amplitude changes with channel, is unfavorable for further deciphering with Hadamard sign indicating number inverse transformation.Therefore must in received signal, remove channel effect fully.
