Description

Be applied to the burst detecting device and the method for radio receiver

Technical field

The invention relates to radio receiver, particularly about being applied in burst detecting device and the method on the radio receiver.

Background technology

In an actual communication environment, the whole bag of tricks that receives radio wave must be told the signal that will receive from noise.Very naturally,, above-mentioned the whole bag of tricks is to identify signal and noise completely, so noise can be thought by mistake the probability of signal is designated as P _Signal|noise, similarly, signal is thought by mistake the probability of noise then is designated as P _Noise|signalThe various radiotechnics that is developed in this field all desire reduces the probability of above-mentioned two kinds of misidentifications.

A kind of method that is called burst (burst) detecting is in order to judge that the signal that is received is real signal or noise.In some communication system, the false judgment that above-mentioned burst detecting method has been done will cause delay, interruption, the data loss of communication, even channel loses connection.For example in the mechanical stage standard in the middle of the global system for mobile telecommunications service that is widely known by the people (GSM, the Global System for Mobile communication) system, stipulated that tranmitting frequency must keep certain accuracy.Usually for the holding frequency accuracy, all adopted automatic frequency control.In addition, in the standard of numbering 11.10,, must in this temporary transient period, keep the frequency and the time-code locking (timing) of wireless radio transmission if mechanical stage can't correctly be received desired signal in a period of time.When the signal that is received is that above-mentioned burst detecting method is judged as noise, then the result who is estimated by above-mentioned automatic frequency controlled function will be rejected, and keep needed frequency accuracy with this.If also be used by the estimated frequency resultant of coming out of these noises, its consequence may cause the mistake connection of communication.

One of above-mentioned burst detecting method is in order to calculate relevant (correlation) algorithm of a correlation for a kind of.For carrying out this relevant algorithm, signal burst domestic demand comprises one section known in advance midamble code (training code), and must finish synchronized action earlier.Because of noise uncorrelated with above-mentioned known midamble code, so when the signal strength signal intensity of receiving is identical, should be at the correlation that noise produced much smaller than correlation at real signal.In view of the above, the peak value of the correlation that draws after the calculating (peak) after signal strength signal intensity normalization (normalize), can do one relatively with a critical value (threshold), and whether the signal that receives with decision serves as true.In the system of global system for mobile telecommunications service, the result that the correlation of a subcritical value will cause above-mentioned automatic frequency controlled function to be estimated is abandoned, otherwise then this result who estimates will be accepted.

See through the mode of adjusting above-mentioned critical value, in keeping P _Noise|signalIn the time of a quite low probability, also can reduce P effectively _Signal|noiseTo an acceptable degree.Yet the method has two weak points:

The first, midamble code length is 26, might occur pseudo-peak (false peak) when relevant, therefore, the noise erroneous judgement may be signal.

The second, when multi-path (multi-path) transmits, if two or the approaching path of more intensity.Signal power can be dispersed in two (or more) paths, removes one of them peak value of normalization (normalize) with the signal strength signal intensity of two paths, and the value that obtains may be lower than critical value, thereby the signal erroneous judgement is noise.

In sum, need develop a kind of apparatus and method of radio reception to lower the probability of noise and the mutual misidentification of signal simultaneously.
