Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the path selecting method in a kind of time domain multipath channel estimation, can estimate to carry out the active path screening to the time domain channel of wireless communication system, the information transmission technology during the field of wireless transmission that belongs to information, particularly mobile communication, Digital Television etc. are used.
Background technology
The channel estimating of wireless communication system according to the channel difference that provides, can be divided into time domain and estimate to estimate two classes with frequency domain.What the former provided is the channel estimating characteristic of time domain, and what the latter provided is the frequency domain channel evaluation characteristic.With MIMO-OFDM (multi-input multi-output-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) system is example, estimates for frequency domain channel, and the multipath length of channel length that it obtains and predetermined channel is irrelevant, and only relevant with the OFDM number of sub carrier wave; But estimate that for time domain channel its channel form is then closely related with the multipath length of channel, how long the multipath length of channel has, and how long the channel that channel estimating obtains just has.Generally to be on the safe side, the multipath length of predetermined channel tends to very big (hundreds of even thousands of), but in the actual mobile environment, effective multipath path number often very little (generally being not more than 10), because the existence of noise, those are actual to be that the estimated value of zero channel just can not be zero again, and it is particularly evident that the performance impact that these errors cause seems when signal to noise ratio is bigger.So people just expect seeking the system of selection in a kind of multipath path, choose effective multipath path, invalid path is all forced be set to zero, thereby eliminate the noise effect on these paths.Path selecting method commonly used at present has maximum path to choose method, threshold selection method etc.Maximum path is chosen some paths that method is chosen energy maximum in the time domain channel response, and this method complexity is low, is easy to realize, but postpones very sensitive for fractional spaced channel path.Threshold selection method is rule of thumb to be worth definite threshold value, chooses in the time domain channel response path greater than this thresholding, and other Invalid paths less than this thresholding all are changed to zero.This method also is a kind of method of practicality, but the selected Noise Variance Estimation precision that depends on of thresholding has very big unsteadiness.
In order to overcome the drawback of above two kinds of methods, need seek a kind of quick, stable, effective path selecting method in addition.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide the path selecting method in a kind of time domain multipath channel estimation, when guaranteeing not increase the additional programs complexity overhead substantially, select the effective multipath path in the time domain channel estimation gained channel quickly and accurately, to estimate that then all the other path forces in the gained channel are made as zero, to reduce noise jamming, improve accuracy of channel estimation.
To achieve these goals, method of the present invention at first preserves M time nearest (M is the estimated result buffer memory degree of depth) channel estimation results get off, then according to the effective maximum number N in multipath path in the predetermined channel, in M nearest estimated result, choose N multipath path of energy maximum respectively, then according to common MN the multipath path of selecting analyzed, at first select the highest N of an occurrence number multi-path location, superseded afterwards wherein occurrence number is finally determined effective multipath path of no more than N corresponding to this M estimated result less than the multi-path location of minimum active path thresholding.
Method of the present invention specifically may further comprise the steps:
1) determines in the channel effectively maximum number N, estimated result buffer memory degree of depth M, the minimum active path thresholding v in multipath path, and create a length and equal the count of votes sequence S (n) of channel maximum multipath length L and the energy sequence P (m that M length is similarly L, l), m=1,2 ... M, l=1,2 ..., L.
2) preserve M nearest channel estimation results C (m, l), m=1,2 ... M, l=1,2 ..., L.
3) calculating energy sequence P (m, l).To P (m, l) each element P (j of sequence, k) carry out assignment, its value is k multipath path C (j of j channel estimation results, k) and near several multipath paths C (j, k-d)～(weighting depth d and weight coefficient preestablish according to actual conditions C for j, the weighted average of value k+d).
4) respectively M the energy sequence of being calculated analyzed, therefrom chosen N multipath path position of energy maximum.For each selected multipath path, according to its path sequence number i, add a ticket, i.e. S (i)=S (i)+1 in the relevant position of count of votes sequence.
5) in count of votes sequence S (i), select a who gets the most votes N path sequence number, charge to path candidate array h (k) successively, k=1,2 ..., N.
6) in the middle of path candidate array h (k), remove in the count of votes sequence number of votes obtained less than the path sequence number of minimum active path thresholding v, what finally remain is effective multipath path sequence number.Take out the data on the relevant position in the channel estimation results under preserving, and the data of other position are changed to zero.Choose work with regard to having finished whole channels like this.
Method of the present invention adopts path maximum occurrence number and 2 kinds of decision threshold joint-detection of minimum active path thresholding, chooses the effective multipath path in the channel estimation results, can reduce noise jamming, estimate the number and the particular location thereof in effective multipath path in the channel exactly.The inventive method is implemented simple, does not increase the complexity of whole channel estimating substantially, but can very improve accuracy of channel estimation significantly.Adopt method of the present invention, the accuracy that time domain channel is estimated can improve an order of magnitude at least, and promptly mean square error can drop to below 1/10th of original mean square error.
Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment technical scheme of the present invention is further described.
With one 4 the 4 MIMO-OFDM systems of receiving is example, include 12 frequency pilot signs in its each OFDM frame, can obtain a channel estimation results at each pilot frequency symbol position, owing between each is to the send-receive antenna, have a channel, so the actual estimation that comprises 16 channels of each channel estimation results.The maximum multipath length of supposing channel is 216, and it is as follows that the present invention carries out the step chosen in the path:
1) determines in the channel effectively maximum number N, estimated result buffer memory degree of depth M, the minimum active path thresholding v in multipath path, and create a length and equal the count of votes sequence S (n) of channel maximum multipath length L and M the energy sequence P (m that length is similarly L, n), m=1,2 ... M, n=1,2 ..., L.In this example, considering the actual channel characteristic, set N=6, v=5, is to be unit with the frame because system's receiving and transmitting signal is handled, so very naturally M is made as 12 (numbers of frequency pilot sign in every frame), in addition the maximum multipath length L is made as 216.
2) preserve M nearest channel estimation results C (m, l), m=1,2 ... M, l=1,2 ..., L.In this example, owing to be 44 mimo systems of receiving, each channel estimation results C (m l) comprises the estimation of 16 channels, next needs by step 3) 4) 5) 6) these 16 channels being carried out the path respectively chooses.
3) calculating energy sequence P (m, l).To P (m, l) each element P (j of sequence, k) carry out assignment, its value is k multipath path C (j of j channel estimation results, k) and near several multipath paths C (j, k-d) ~ (weighting depth d and weight coefficient preestablish according to actual conditions C for j, the weighted average of value k+d).In this example,, according to the characteristics of Sinc function, set d=2, and weight coefficient be set as follows because the moulding pulse that transmits is the Sinc function:
P(j，k)＝0.2C(j，k-2)+0.33C(j，k-1)+C(j，k)+0.33C(j，k+1)+0.2C(j，k+2)。
4) respectively M the energy sequence of being calculated analyzed, therefrom chosen N multipath path position of energy maximum.For each selected multipath path, according to its path sequence number i, add a ticket, i.e. S (i)=S (i)+1 in the relevant position of count of votes sequence.In this example, N=6, promptly each energy sequence can be thrown 6 tickets to S (i).
5) in count of votes sequence S (i), select a who gets the most votes N path sequence number, charge to path candidate array h (k) successively, k=1,2 ..., N.In this example, N=6 is so select 6 multipath paths altogether.
6) in the middle of path candidate array h (k), remove in the count of votes sequence number of votes obtained less than the path sequence number of minimum active path thresholding v, what finally remain is effective multipath path sequence number.Take out the data on the relevant position in the channel estimation results under preserving, and the data of other position are changed to zero.Choose work with regard to having finished whole channels like this.In this example, minimum active path thresholding is 5, promptly will confirm effective multipath path, will obtain 5 tickets in 12 ballots at least.(step 5) can obtain 6 multipath paths, afterwards this 6 paths is carried out second and takes turns screening (step 6), so finally can be no more than 6 effective multipath paths at most because first round screening.
Method of the present invention is applicable to that the single-shot list is received (SIMO), single-shot is overcharged (MISO), multiple single time domain channel estimation of receiving (SIMO) and MIMO (MIMO) wireless communication system.In multiaerial system (MISO, SIMO, MIMO), independently under the prerequisite, need carry out above-mentioned 3 to the channel between dual-mode antenna to each at channel) 4) 5) 6) step, determine effective multipath path position of each channel.
After using the inventive method to determine the position in multipath path, the channel information that can keep active position in original estimated result, and the channel of all the other positions is changed to zero, so just can on these channel positions, eliminate noise fully, thereby improve accuracy of channel estimation.
