Embodiment
Under traditional bipolar signal modulation system, signal is modulated into+(just) 1 and-(bearing) 1 signal, for example raw information 1 is modulated into-1, raw information 0 is modulated into+and 1, no matter positive negative signal, + 1 or-1 all is the required power emission, because most of paging index signal of PICH is 0, causes the emission of the garbage of this channel in most time inevitably.Therefore adopt the method for unipolar signal modulation, be not modulate in 0 o'clock promptly in the paging index signal, being to be equivalent to without transmitting power in 0 o'clock in the paging index signal in other words, is this signal to be modulated into+1 or-1 emission the transmitting power that just can save PICH greatly at 1 o'clock.For example, for consistent as far as possible, select to be modulated to-1 with 1 with original system.
Above-mentioned unipolarity modulator approach is had higher requirement to demodulating end, this not only show need can effectively demodulation destination channel signal, it is the signal of the channel of PICH and so on, and in the reality because the randomness that declines in the fading channel, the level that has determined the unipolarity modulation signal is that decline changes, can obtain the best when this just needs restituted signal exactly and declare thresholding firmly, could guarantee accuracy the demodulation of unipolarity modulation signal.But the demodulation to the demodulation of unipolarity modulation signal and bipolarity modulation signal is different.In demodulating process to the bipolarity modulation signal, as in spread spectrum system, restituted signal before declaring firmly is positive negative signal, such as+200, + 300,-200, owing to declare firmly and will select a middle thresholding exactly, all restituted signals greater than this thresholding adjudicate into 0, adjudicate into 1 less than all restituted signals of this thresholding, therefore if recover raw information 0,1, therefore in the bipolarity modulating system, can serve as the hard thresholding of determining with 0, to become 0 greater than 0 signal decision, the signal decision less than 0 becomes 1, has so just recovered raw information; And in the unipolarity system, if not having the signal that demodulation is come out under the decline situation at channel is 0,0 ,-300,-400, or the like, and need become 1 to signal decision less than-150, the judgement greater than-150 becomes 0, but the restituted signal in the actual fading channel may be from negative tens to negative several thousand, therefore 0 also may be because noise and in positive and negative tens fluctuations, need find one to declare thresholding preferably firmly and declare firmly when declaring each symbol firmly, and this demodulation for the unipolarity modulation signal is difficult.Essence of the present invention, be exactly in the process at the demodulation of unipolarity modulation signal, fading characteristic at propagation channel, adopt the Doppler frequency results estimated to estimate to declare firmly thresholding exactly, with the fading characteristic that overcomes propagation channel to declaring the influence of thresholding accuracy firmly, thereby demodulation exactly, rule out the unipolarity modulation signal, improve the Performance And Reliability of system.
With the WCDMA system is example, if the PICH in the existing down emission system adopts the method modulation signal of unipolarity modulation, owing to also contain the CPICH that adopts the bipolarity modulator approach in the common down channel simultaneously, can think that in wireless fading channel it is identical that the decline of CPICH and PICH changes, that is to say, can be with the reference channel of CPICH, to obtain the decline change information of PICH as destination channel PICH; Simultaneously, can estimate the channel fading of CPICH according to the frequency pilot sign that this locality produces at demodulating end, decline that so just can the corresponding PICH of obtaining channel also merges the restituted signal that obtains PICH by decline correction, multipath, at last come the restituted signal of PICH is adjudicated, obtain PICH restituted signal accurately according to the Doppler frequency results estimated.
The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is the embodiment flow chart of the method for the invention.According to Fig. 1, at first signal receiver is distinguished the received signal of reference channel CPICH and destination channel PICH according to different code words in step 1, this is because CPICH adopts different orthogonal codes with PICH, so CPICH and PICH can be made a distinction fully according to different orthogonal codes.The common pilot symbols that produces according to this locality in step 2 estimates the channel fading of reference channel CPICH then, reference channel is declined rectify a deviation and the multipath merging then, obtains the restituted signal of CPICH.Owing to think that the decline variation of CPICH and PICH is identical in the wireless fading channel, therefore with the channel fading information of the reference channel channel fading information as PICH, decline correction, multipath merging obtains the unipolarity restituted signal of PICH to the channel fading information of utilizing above-mentioned reference channel in step 3 to PICH.Because being decline, actual channel changes, the level that causes the restituted signal of reference channel PICH also is a fluctuations, therefore separate timing at the unipolarity modulation signal and need reference channel level statistics accurately, be exactly to require specifically the reference channel level that counts can adaptive channel the variation of fading period, can adjust statistical length according to the periodicity that signal fluctuation changes, thereby the level statistical value of reference channel and the decline variation of channel are adapted.So at first utilize the Doppler frequency estimation approach to obtain the Doppler frequency estimated value of reference channel in step 4, obtain the fading period of CPICH again according to the Doppler frequency of estimating.In the reality, owing in less than 1/8 or 1/4 fading period, can think that the variation of received signal level is very little, therefore utilize the fading period of above-mentioned CPICH in step 5, the average of the relevant cycle internal reference channel signal level of statistics, obtain one and be subjected to the less reference level of noise jamming, in order to the reference level of firmly declaring thresholding of conduct the PICH restituted signal.Its statistical length of the accuracy requirement of level average is less than the relevant cycle, and the above-mentioned relevant cycle is generally 1/4 or 1/8 of fading period, specifically determines according to the situation of channel fading.The reference level that power bias and step 5 obtain between step 6 is according to reference channel CPICH under the upper layer transfers and destination channel PICH estimates the reference level of destination channel restituted signal, multiply by a corresponding coefficient (as 0.5) of adjusting according to the actual requirement of destination channel again and obtains declaring thresholding at the PICH restituted signal firmly in the relevant cycle.Utilize in step 7 at last and above-mentionedly declare thresholding firmly the PICH restituted signal is adjudicated output,, be judged to 1, finally obtain the echo signal of PICH, promptly obtain useful paging indication less than the signal of declaring thresholding firmly as being judged to 0 greater than the signal of declaring thresholding firmly.
Fig. 2 is the embodiment block diagram of device of the present invention.Comprise in the described device of Fig. 2 that reference channel estimation module 11, first correction merge module 12, second correction merges mould 13, Doppler frequency estimation module 14, level statistical module 15, level adjusting module 16 and declares module 17 firmly, wherein:
Reference channel estimation module 11 is used for the common pilot symbols according to this locality generation, utilizes the received signal of the local reference channel CPICH that produces of signal receiver, estimates the channel fading information of CPICH;
First correction merges module 12, is used for CPICH signal decline correction and multipath merging are obtained the restituted signal of CPICH;
Second correction merges module 13, and the channel fading information of utilizing the CPICH that reference channel estimation module 11 estimates is to PICH signal decline correction and multipath merging, obtains the PICH unipolar signal after the demodulation;
Doppler frequency estimation module 14 is used to obtain the Doppler frequency estimated value of CPICH, and this estimated value is sent to level statistical module 15, is obtained the signal fadeout cycle of CPICH according to the Doppler frequency estimated value by level statistical module 15; This signal fadeout cycle information is sent to level adjusting module 16, the level estimated value that CPICH that is transmitted according to signal fadeout cycle and the upper strata of CPICH by level adjusting module 16 and the power bias between the PICH obtain PICH in the relevant cycle, it is just passable promptly directly to deduct power bias with each reference level of importing, this level estimated value be multiply by corresponding an adjustment behind the coefficient as declaring thresholding firmly according to the actual requirement of destination channel PICH to be delivered to and declares module 17 firmly, declare thresholding by it firmly according to this unipolarity restituted signal that second correction merges module 13 outputs is adjudicated, obtain the unipolar signal after the demodulation.
In said apparatus, the measurement period of level statistical module is relevant with actual fading period, estimates to determine on the basis of fading period in Doppler frequency, and the concrete measurement period length selection principle and the realization of system require to be closely related.When decline changes slowly, fading period is longer, timing statistics is also corresponding longer, then the transinformation of CPICH and PICH interchannel significantly reduces in the unit interval, timing statistics length can be level and smooth effectively to noise simultaneously, also can extract a small amount of sample in measurement period length in the reality and average.Because when channel fading changes when very fast, Doppler frequency is estimated can this variation of fast reaction, thereby the control level statistical module carries out the adjustment of statistical length, guarantees the level statistical accuracy, and then has guaranteed the accuracy to the demodulation of PICH unipolarity modulation signal.
