Description

A kind of signal combining method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to the signal processing technology of mobile communication, be specifically related to a kind of signal combining method and device.
Background technology
In Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) (WCDMA) system, when travelling carriage (MS) sends signal by reverse dedicated channel in the sector, the sector can be with the signal of this travelling carriage of receiving by Radio Link (RL, Radio Link) sends to its affiliated base station, in mobile communication system, Radio Link can abbreviate link as.Generally speaking, the MS region is only covered by the signal of a sector, and at this moment, the signal of MS only sends to the base station by a wireless links, promptly has only a sector to base station transmit signals.But, when MS is positioned at the edge of a sector signals overlay area, just might be covered by the signal of other adjacent sectors simultaneously.At this moment, these sectors all can receive the signal that MS sends, and afterwards, the signal of this MS that each sector will be received separately again sends to the base station respectively.At this moment, the signal of MS just sends to the base station by multi wireless links, several sectors is promptly arranged to base station transmit signals, the multi wireless links here is generically and collectively referred to as a Radio Link collection (RLS, Radio Link Set), in mobile communication system, the Radio Link collection can abbreviate link set as.
When the signal of same MS is not by single link, but pass through a link set when base station transmits, the base station will merge the signal that belongs to all links of same link set, be that the base station will merge the signal that belongs to same MS from each sector, in order to improve receiving gain and receptivity.Because the signal of the same MS that each sector receives does not have other differences except through the space path difference, so when carrying out the signal merging, just the signal of the same MS that each sector is received simply adds up.The sort signal union operation is called softer merging (SC, Softer Combination).
At present, softer merging is that unit carries out with the time slot, is about to the signal of the same time slot of same frame merging in all link signals in the same link set.Simultaneously, to the softer merging of signal of MS the time, the data of the data of Dedicated Physical Control Channel (DPCCH) and Dedicated Physical Data Channel (DPDCH) are processed separately, and the DPCCH of the WCDMA reverse dedicated channel of using and each frame of DPDCH are formed by 15 time slots now.
As shown in Figure 1, the softer merging module 100 of widespread usage mainly comprises request queue unit 102, link query unit 103, joint account unit 104, state machine 105 and parameter configuration unit 106 at present, and softer merging module 100 links to each other with prime demodulation module 101.
In actual applications, 101 pairs of all signals from all sectors of prime demodulation module carry out demodulation, and promptly the signal to all links carries out demodulation.After prime demodulation module 101 is finished the signal demodulation of a time slot of certain link at every turn, just the restituted signal of finishing with this this time slot of link stores, and send a signal to softer merging module 100, the signal that shows this this time slot of link has been finished demodulation, and this signal can be regarded as the request signal of the softer merging of this time slot application of this link.Meanwhile, request queue unit 102 all stores prime demodulation module 101 to each request signal that softer merging module 100 sends, the moment that each request signal is requested queued units 102 storages can be considered as the moment that this request signal arrives request queue unit 102, is called for short due in.
Carry out smoothly for the softer merging of assurance, the base station issues relevant parameter to softer merging module 100 at any time, belongs to which different link set respectively so that parameter configuration unit 106 is known signal to be processed, and which link is each link set specifically comprise.When the request signal of all links that belong to same link set all has been stored in the request queue unit 102 and state machine 105 when being in idle condition, the softer merging of this link set just starts, and this moment, the request signal of other link set then can only be waited in line in request queue unit 102 according to the time sequencing of storage.
After the softer merging of a certain link set starts, state machine 105 transfers query State to by original idle condition, according to the link that the request signal of the different links of same link set of request queue unit 102 storage and each link set that parameter configuration unit 106 is known specifically comprise, link query unit 103 obtains participating in the link No. of all links of softer merging this time.Afterwards, state machine 105 transfers computing mode to by query State, joint account unit 104 and then the link No. that obtains according to link query unit 103 take out the demodulation value of respective link signals from prime demodulation module 101, and these demodulation values are merged add up, finally obtain the result and the output of current softer merging, so that the back level of signal is handled.Merge the signal that adds up this moment is the signal that belongs to a time slot of each bar link of same link set.
After the softer merging of this link set time slot is finished, joint account unit 104 sends a merging to state machine 105 and finishes signal, simultaneously, request queue unit 102 also receives the merging of transmitting from joint account unit 104 and finishes signal, the request signal of the respective link of finishing softer merging that 102 of request queue unit will wherein be stored is removed, afterwards, state machine 105 transfers original idle condition again to.When the softer merging request that belongs to same link set of next time slot is received by softer merging module 100, and when being requested queued units 102 storages, softer merging again will be activated.
Generally speaking, a link set comprises two to three links, but in order to make description clearer, below be that example is described all with the link set that comprises four links.
Relatively more crucial in the softer merging process is the removing of respective request signal after the storage of request signal and merging are finished, this two steps operation is finished by request queue unit 102, and the generative circuit of merging request signal storage in the request queue unit 102 and merging request clear signal as shown in Figure 2.Wherein, d type flip flop 201,202,203,204 with link to each other with door 205, link to each other with softer merging request signal input (Set) port of d type flip flop 206 again with door 205.Above-mentioned each d type flip flop all has two signal input ports, and one of them port is the Set port, is used to receive the softer merging request signal of a certain link, so that d type flip flop can store the softer merging request signal of this link; Another port is softer merging request clear signal input (Clr) port, is used to receive the softer merging request clear signal of respective link, so that d type flip flop can be removed the softer merging request signal of this link.
When the request signal of the link 0 that belongs to same link set is stored in the d type flip flop 201, the request signal of link 1 is stored in the d type flip flop 202, the request signal of link 2 is stored in the d type flip flop 203, when the request signal of link 3 is stored in the d type flip flop 204, article four, the request signal of link by with door 205, export one and merge request signal to d type flip flop 206 and be stored in wherein, this request signal that shows all links that belong to same link set all arrives.At this moment, once softer merging just has been activated.
Finishing merging when the demodulation value of this link set time slot adds up, be after the softer merging of certain time slot is finished, signal is finished in merging sent in the d type flip flop 201, as the merging request clear signal of link 0, the link 0 of then storage in the d type flip flop 201 merges request signal and is eliminated; Signal is finished in merging sent in the d type flip flop 202, as the merging request clear signal of link 1, the link 1 of then storage in the d type flip flop 202 merges request signal and is eliminated; Signal is finished in merging sent in the d type flip flop 203, as the merging request clear signal of link 2, the link 2 of then storage in the d type flip flop 203 merges request signal and is eliminated; Signal is finished in merging sent in the d type flip flop 204, the link 3 of then storage in the d type flip flop 204 merges request signal and is eliminated.Simultaneously, signal is finished in merging sent in the d type flip flop 206, as the merging request clear signal of a link set, then the whole link set and the request signal of storage are eliminated in the d type flip flop 206.Wherein, the merging that d type flip flop 201,202,203,204,206 is received finish signal be the joint account unit 104 described in Fig. 1 after current softer merging is finished, send to d type flip flop 201,202,203,204,206 by state machine 105.
Become basic softer merging sequential chart as shown in Figure 3 with above-mentioned hardware configuration, circuit bank.
When supposing that each time slot to same link set carries out softer merging, the arrival of each link request signal is that the request signal of link 0~3 arrives successively in proper order, the request signal that is link 0 arrives earlier, the request signal that is link 1 afterwards arrives, the 3rd arrival of the request signal of link 2, what arrive at last is the request signal of link 3.
Referring to Fig. 3, at the time slot 0 of a certain frame, the request signal of link 0 arrives earlier, and the request signal of link 1 arrives afterwards, and by that analogy, after the request signal of link 3 also arrived, softer merging started.After the signal of this frame slot 0 in the link 0,1,2,3 is finished softer merging, with the respective request signal removal of link 0,1,2,3.At next time slot is time slot 1, if the request signal of link 0,1,2,3 all arrives, then again softer merging starts.Equally, after the signal of this frame slot 1 in the link 0,1,2,3 is finished softer merging, respective request signal removal with link 0,1,2,3, and then carry out the softer merging of the signal of this frame slot 2 in the link 0,1,2,3, merge after finishing again respective request signal removal with link 0,1,2,3.
If the request signal of newly arrived link 0,1,2,3 is arranged all the time, the softer merging of this link set time slot signal then recited above will continue, and all merge up to all signals of this link set and finish; If newly arrived is the request signal of all links of comprising of other link set, then will carry out the softer merging of other link set.
The method of softer merging of above-described startup and removing request signal, after the request signal of all links that belong to same link set all arrives, the softer merging of commencing signal; After finishing once softer merging, the request signal full scale clearance of softer combined signal institute respective links will be finished.The method of softer merging of this startup and removing request signal has guaranteed the signal integrity of softer union operation each time.But simultaneously, also there is a serious defective in said method, and promptly when occurring merging mistake in the softer merging process, this mistake can't be corrected automatically.
When occurring merging mistake in the softer merging process, it merges sequential chart as shown in Figure 4.
When supposing that each time slot to same link set carries out softer merging, the arrival of each link request signal is that the request signal of link 0~3 arrives successively in proper order, the request signal that is link 0 arrives earlier, the request signal that is link 1 afterwards arrives, the 3rd arrival of the request signal of link 2, what arrive at last is the request signal of link 3.
Referring to Fig. 4,, cause the request signal of link 0 to lose for a certain reason at the time slot 0 of a certain frame, band arrow dotted line represents that request signal loses among Fig. 4, after then the request signal of link 1 arrives, second arrival of the request signal of link 2, the request signal of link 3 arrives at last.When the request signal of link 3 arrives, softer merging can't be carried out, and does not arrive fully because belong to the request signal of all links of same link set this moment, promptly has only the request signal of link 1,2,3, and not having the request signal of link 0, this does not meet the precondition of softer merging.
After the request signal of the link 0 of this frame slot 1 arrives, because the request signal that softer merging is not distinguished time slot and belonged to all links of same link set this moment all arrives, so softer merging starts.But the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be that the signal of link 1,2,3 time slots 0 and the signal of link 0 time slot 1 are carried out softer merging at this moment, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, corresponding request signal was eliminated.Identical with preceding once softer merging, at time slot 1, when the request signal of link 1,2,3 arrives, softer merging can't be carried out, because belonging to the request signal of all links of same link set this moment does not arrive fully, promptly have only the request signal of link 1,2,3, and do not have the request signal of link 0, this does not meet the precondition of softer merging.After the request signal of the link 0 of this frame slot 2 arrives, thus the time belong to all links of same link set request signal all arrive, so softer merging starts.But the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be that the signal of link 1,2,3 time slots 1 and the signal of link 0 time slot 2 are carried out softer merging at this moment, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, corresponding request signal was eliminated.
Do not correct or the termination measure because there is corresponding error to merge,, all merged up to all signals of this link set and finished so above-mentioned mistake merging can be sustained.
Merge similar with the above-mentioned mistake that causes because of request signal, after if the softer merging in crack is finished at a time, cause abnormal a removing in the request signal that will remove for a certain reason, then this request signal that is not eliminated also can cause the mistake of respective link collection to merge.As shown in Figure 5, at the time slot 0 of a certain frame, the request signal of link 0 arrives earlier, second arrival of the request signal of link 1, and the 3rd arrival of the request signal of link 2, the request signal of link 3 arrives at last.After the request signal of link 3 arrived, softer merging started.After this softer merging is finished, corresponding request signal is eliminated, do not remove but the request signal that causes link 3 for a certain reason is normal, band arrow dotted line is represented normally removing of request signal among Fig. 5, then at time slot 1, after the request signal of link 0,1,2 all arrives, because the request signal that softer merging is not distinguished time slot and belonged to all links of same link set this moment all arrives, so softer merging starts.But the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be that the signal of link 3 time slots 0 and the signal of link 0,1,2 time slots 1 are carried out softer merging at this moment, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, corresponding request signal was eliminated.Identical with preceding once softer merging, at time slot 1, when the request signal of link 3 arrives, softer merging can't be carried out, because belonging to the request signal of all links of same link set this moment does not arrive fully, promptly have only the request signal of link 3, and do not have the request signal of link 0,1,2, this does not meet the precondition of softer merging.After the request signal of the link 0,1,2 of this frame slot 2 arrives, thus the time belong to all links of same link set request signal all arrive, so softer merging starts.But the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be that the signal of link 3 time slots 1 and the signal of link 0,1,2 time slots 2 are carried out softer merging at this moment, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, corresponding request signal was eliminated.
Do not correct or the termination measure because there is corresponding error to merge,, all merged up to all signals of this link set and finished so above-mentioned mistake merging can be sustained.

In above-described second kind of situation, the current timeslot number that carries out each link signal of softer merging all is not 0, then after once softer merging is finished, all request signals of each link correspondence is all removed.
The third situation: the current timeslot number that carries out each link signal of softer merging not all is 0
When the timeslot number of each link signal that carries out softer merging not all is 0, can multiple different situations specifically appear, and the timeslot number of one or more promptly different link signals is 0, and the timeslot number of other one or more link signals is not 0.For above different situations, handling principle of the present invention is identical, so, for convenience, suppose that the current timeslot number that carries out the link 0 of softer merging is 0, and the timeslot number of other three links all is not 0.
At this moment, comparator 601 to door 605 output signals 1, and comparator 602,603,604 all to door 605 output signals 0, with door 605 and then to selector 611,613,615,617 output signal All_0, and this moment signal All_0 value be 0; Comparator 606 to door 610 output signals 0, and comparator 607,608,609 all to door 610 output signals 1, with door 610 and then to selector 611,613,615,617 output signal All_not_0, and this moment signal All_not_0 value be 0; Simultaneously, comparator 624 is to selector 611 output signals 0, and comparator 625 is to selector 613 output signals 1, and comparator 626 is to selector 615 output signals 1, and comparator 627 is to selector 617 output signals 1.

Wherein, the merging of receiving with door 612,614,616,618 finish signal be the joint account unit 104 described in Fig. 1 after current softer merging is finished, by state machine 105 to sending with door 612,614,616,618.
In above-described the third situation, in current each link signal that carries out softer merging, the timeslot number that has only link 0 is 0, then after once softer merging is finished, the request signal of link 1,2,3 correspondences is all removed, and is kept the request signal of link 0 correspondence.
Said apparatus is the generative circuit that four links merge the request clear signal, and when a number of links that link set comprised was N, the generative circuit of this N link merging request clear signal then as shown in Figure 7.Device shown in Figure 7 is identical with the operation principle of device shown in Figure 6, the unique difference of stream oriented device is: device shown in Figure 6 is checked the timeslot number that four links that same link set comprised carry out softer combined signal, if timeslot number is 0 or be not 0 all, then remove four pairing request signals of link signal that all finish softer merging time slot; If exist simultaneously timeslot number be 0 and timeslot number be not 0 signal, then remove timeslot number wherein and be not 0 finish the pairing request signal of softer merging link signal, and keep timeslot number wherein be 0 finish the pairing request signal of softer merging link signal.Device shown in Figure 7 then is that the timeslot number that N link that same link set is comprised carries out softer combined signal is checked, if timeslot number is 0 or be not 0 all, then remove the pairing request signal of all N that finishes softer merging time slot link signals; If exist simultaneously timeslot number be 0 and timeslot number be not 0 signal, then remove timeslot number wherein and be not 0 finish the pairing request signal of softer merging link signal, and keep timeslot number wherein be 0 finish the pairing request signal of softer merging link signal.
When the present invention carried out the softer merging of four links, its softer merging sequential chart as shown in Figure 8.
When supposing that each time slot to same link set carries out softer merging, the arrival of each link request signal is that the request signal of link 0~3 arrives successively in proper order, the request signal that is link 0 arrives earlier, the request signal that is link 1 afterwards arrives, the 3rd arrival of the request signal of link 2, what arrive at last is the request signal of link 3.
Referring to Fig. 8, time slot 14 at a certain frame, cause the request signal of link 0 to lose for a certain reason, Fig. 8 band arrow dotted line represents that request signal loses, after then the request signal of link 1 arrives, second arrival of the request signal of link 2, the request signal of link 3 arrives at last, but when the request signal of link 3 arrived, softer merging can't be carried out.Do not arrive fully because belong to the request signal of all links of same link set this moment, promptly have only the request signal of link 1,2,3, and do not have the request signal of link 0, this does not meet the precondition of softer merging.
After the request signal of the link 0 of next frame slot 0 arrives, all arrive because belong to the request signal of all links of same link set this moment, so softer merging starts.But the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be that the signal of link 1,2,3 a certain frame slots 14 and the signal of link 0 next frame time slot 0 are carried out softer merging at this moment, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, the request signal of link 1,2,3 was eliminated, and the request signal of link 0 then is retained.Afterwards, the request signal of link 1 and link 2 arrives respectively, and when the request signal of link 3 also arrived, again softer merging started.At this moment, the signal that link 1,2,3 participates in softer merging and the pairing signal of link 0 request signal that is retained be all at same frame, and timeslot number is 0, promptly this time softer merge into correct.After current correct softer merging was finished, the request signal of link 0,1,2,3 all was eliminated.When next time slot, when the request signal of link 0,1,2,3 all arrived, again softer merging started.At this moment, link 0,1,2,3 participates in the signal of softer merging all at same frame, and timeslot number is 1, and promptly softer merging this time also is correct.
After finishing for softer merging, the situation that request signal is not normally removed, the request signal sweep-out method principle when the request signal sweep-out method is lost with the above request signal is identical.Suppose, at a certain frame slot 14, after a link set that comprises four links is finished the softer merging of signal, link 0,1,2 request signal is all removed, but cause the request signal of link 3 normally not remove for a certain reason, then at the time slot 0 of next frame, when link 0,1, after 2 request signal arrives, softer merging starts, but, the softer union operation of this moment is wrong, because be signal and link 0 to link 3 a certain frame slots 14 at this moment, 1, the signal of 2 next frame time slots 0 carries out softer merging, and softer union operation should carry out the signal of the same time slot of each link.After this wrong merging was finished, the request signal of link 3 was eliminated, and the request signal of link 0,1,2 then is retained.Afterwards, link 3 request signals arrive, and again softer merging starts.At this moment, the signal that link 3 participates in softer merging and the pairing signal of link 0,1,2 request signals that is retained be all at same frame, and timeslot number is 0, promptly this time softer merge into correct.After current correct softer merging was finished, the request signal of link 0,1,2,3 all was eliminated.When next time slot, when the request signal of link 0,1,2,3 all arrived, again softer merging started.At this moment, link 0,1,2,3 participates in the signal of softer merging all at same frame, and timeslot number is 1, and promptly softer merging this time also is correct.
By the above as can be seen, softer back to back back one frame slot 0 that is incorporated in of the mistake of former frame finishes.
By the above as can be seen, the present invention guarantees that softer back to back back one frame slot 0 that is incorporated in of the mistake of former frame finishes, and then begins correct softer merging from the time slot 0 of back one frame.The above only is process of the present invention and method embodiment, in order to restriction the present invention, all any modifications of being made within the spirit and principles in the present invention, is not equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
