Description

Share the method and system of single antenna in the wireless telecommunications
Technical field
The present invention relates to the interference in the communication system.More specifically, of the present invention relating to, a kind ofly have and putting the method and system of sharing single antenna on the platform of bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b/g equipment.
Technical background
Wireless Personal Network (WPAN) is popularized in a large amount of the use because of flexibility and convenience that they are provided in connection.The WPAN system as those systems based on bluetooth (BT) technology, connects by near radio is provided, and allows the interior connection of 10 meters scopes, and has replaced being used for connecting the cable and/or the distribution of the trouble of ancillary equipment and/or portable terminal.Be that wireless lan (wlan) provides and has been positioned at the connectivity of big slightly geographical space as the device in a, solitary building or the included zone of university with the WPAN system forms contrast.Wlan system typically operates in 100 meters scopes according to the standard of IEEE 802.11 standards, is commonly used to replenish the ability to communicate that is installed in the traditional cable LAN (LANs) in the same geographical area with wlan system.
In some cases, wlan system can operate with the WPAN systematic collaboration, thereby the full functionality of enhancing is provided to the user.For example, when a kneetop computer or a portable wireless terminal equipment are connected to the wlan network of university's scope by an access point (AP) that is positioned at this building, Bluetooth technology can be used to this kneetop computer or portable wireless terminal equipment are connected to a peripheral unit, as, a keyboard, mouse, earphone, and/or printer.
Bluetooth technology and WLAN wireless device, as being used for as those of portable wireless terminal equipment, running in the worker of 2.4GHZ (2.4000-2.4835GHZ), section, doctor (ISM) unlicensed band usually.Other wireless device as being used for those of cordless telephone, also can operate in the ISM unlicensed band.ISM band use for many near radios a suitable low-cost solution is provided in, when a plurality of users operate simultaneously, it also has some shortcomings.For example, because limited bandwidth must hold a plurality of users with frequency spectrum share.A plurality of active users may cause the great interference between the operating means.In addition, in some cases, microwave oven also can operate under this frequency spectrum, thus the great interference or the block signal of can exert an influence bluetooth and/or WLAN transmission.
When a Bluetooth radio of operation and a WLAN wireless device in as a wireless device, two kinds of dissimilar interference effects can take place at least.At first, when an interference signal appears in the transmission medium together with main signal, can cause a low signal to interference and noise ratio (SINR).In this case, Bluetooth signal may be interfered the WLAN signal, and perhaps, the WLAN signal can be interfered Bluetooth signal.When this bluetooth and WLAN wireless device and when putting, second kind of interference effect can take place, that is to say that when their position was very close to each other, can make had the little rate of a penetrating path loss between they corresponding wireless front end receivers.In this case, the isolation between blue teeth wireless front end and the WLAN wireless front end can be low to moderate as 10dB.As a result, a wireless device may make the front end of another wireless device that transmission is become insensitive.In addition, because bluetooth has been used through-put power control, when the signal to noise ratio (snr) of bluetooth connection hanged down, juxtaposed Bluetooth radio may promote its power rank, thereby has further effectively damaged the front end isolation between the wireless device.The low noise amplifier of wireless front end (LNA) can not be positioned at before the channel selection filter, and can be saturated by the signal in the ISM frequency band easily, as those from and put transmission.This saturated meeting causes the sensitiveness of the receiver part of wireless front end to reduce, thereby can reduce the ability of wireless front end detecting and demodulation desired signal.
Packet communications in the wlan system need be from the affirmation of receiver so that communication carried out.When the isolation between the juxtaposed wireless device was low, dark when the degree that the collision between WLAN communication and the bluetooth communication is interfered mutually is more higher than isolation, this can make the WLAN communication slow down, because access point is not confirmed grouping.This situation can continue to break away from the WLAN station until access point under the screw.If for fear of this situation, and the WLAN communication of putting in the wireless device is endowed priority, has precedence over all bluetooth communications, then do not have the bluetooth packet communication of relay capabilities can lack the communication bandwidth this moment.In addition, this method also can make other bluetooth packet communication lack the communication access.Therefore the operation of juxtaposed WLAN/ Bluetooth radio should keep higher WLAN communication rate, can insert bluetooth communication where necessary simultaneously.
Different technology has developed the low isolation problem that occurs in the coexistence operation between juxtaposed bluetooth and the WLAN wireless device to solve.These technology can be utilized frequency and/or time quadrature mechanism to reduce and put interference between the wireless device.In addition, these technology can be produced by so-called cooperation or non-coordination mechanism in bluetooth and the WLAN wireless device, and wherein cooperation refers to any direct communication between the agreement.For example, Bluetooth technology utilizes AFH (AFH) as reducing frequency division multiplexing (FDM) technology that channel is interfered.In AFH, the feature of physical channel be in micro bluetooth network with 1600 times/second frequency, between the 791MHz channel pseudorandom frequency hopping.AFH provides and can has been used for avoiding frequency by spread spectrum system by a blue-tooth device, the non-coordination mechanism shared as wlan system.In some cases, Bluetooth radio can based on as do not revised its frequency-hopping mode by the frequency in the ISM frequency spectrum of other CU.
Even used frequency multiplexing technique, great interference still can take place, because the strong signal in indivedual channels still can become block signal, reduce the sensitiveness of wireless front end receiver, just the noise floor of receiver has been increased to and can't have known the point that detects the received signal place.For example, when the isolation between the wireless device only was 10dB, the 15dBm signal of a WLAN wireless front end reflector generation can become the high reject signal or the jam signal of juxtaposed Bluetooth radio receiver.Similarly, when Bluetooth radio is being launched and WLAN wireless device when receiving, when particularly blue teeth wireless front end emission device is with 20dBm, classification 1 operation, if the isolation between the wireless device reduces, then WLAN wireless device receiver can be reduced its sensitiveness by Bluetooth transmission.Because the high power capacity of WLAN and BT wireless device chip, characteristic cheaply, surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter more expensive, that block signal can be filtered out near channel is not generally adopted, and the interference between the juxtaposed WLAN/ Bluetooth radio is still paid close attention to for the people in the application of WPAN.
Other technology can recommend rules-Di 15.2 parts described as those in the IEEE802.15.2-2002 information technology based on the coexistence mechanism of cooperation: Wireless Personal Network and other coexistence between the wireless device of unlicensed band running.For example, these technology can comprise medium access control system (MAC) layer mechanism or physical layer (PHY) mechanism.MAC layer technology can comprise that mutual wireless medium inserts (AWMA) technology or transmitted in packets arbitration (PTA) technology.AWMA and PTA technology all provide the Time Division Multiplexing method to solve and put the isolation problem of wireless device.For example, the AWMA technology is divided into two parts at interval with a WLAN communication: one is used for wlan system, and another is used for the WPAN system.Each wireless system limited transmission in the time period that they distribute then.On the other hand, the PTA technology WLAN wireless device or the Bluetooth radio of having attempted providing one juxtaposed, having obeyed arbitration and approval for each communication.The communication request that PTA can refusal can lead to a conflict or interfere.PHY layer technology comprises, is located at a notch filter able to programme in the WLAN wireless device receiver, and it is used for filtering narrow frequency WPAN or bluetooth interference signal.These technology may cause the efficiency of transmission deficiency, or for reaching coexistence operation preferably, need additional hardware.
Other cooperation coexistence mechanism can be based on proprietary technology.For example, in some cases, and put firmware in the WLAN wireless device can be used to and put inquiry one status signals in the Bluetooth radio, to determine whether bluetooth communication is about to take place.But the inquiry Bluetooth radio must be carried out on the basis that quite continues, and the WLAN wireless device is shifted from its WLAN communication operation.If use the inquiry window to replace, wherein inquiring about window is that hundreds of microseconds are long, and during this period of time the WLAN wireless device is not carried out its WLAN protocol operation, and Bluetooth radio shows that bluetooth communication is about to carry out.In other cases, and put WLAN and Bluetooth radio can be utilized a drives interrupts referee method.In this respect, carry out interrupt operation and determine the suitable considerable processing time of communication schedule needs according to the preferential situation and the kind of WLAN and bluetooth packet.
Since occur in coexistence in the terminal and put interference or conflict between the wireless device, the antenna of separation or antenna array can be used in the agreement that each wireless device supports.But, use additional antenna hardware not only can cause high priced line, also can limit, as, the size of a mobile terminal device or shape.
By comparing with the present invention who describes in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the back, those skilled in the art can further see the more limitations and the shortcoming of conventional and conventional method.

Figure 1A is the typical WLAN basic network block diagram of in the one embodiment of the invention, comprising the basic service group (BSS) who uses a common distribution system (DS).With reference to Figure 1A, comprise a BSS 102a in this WLAN basic network 100, the 2nd BSS 102b, DS 104, cable network 106, inlet 108, the first access points (AP) 112a, the 2nd AP 102b, and a plurality of WLAN station (STA).This BSS102a and 102b represent the foundation construction frame of IEEE802.11 (WLAN) architecture, can be considered the group station (STA) under the direct control of single protocol function.The geographic area that is covered by a BSS is counted as primary service area (BSA).DS 104 is used for connecting BSS 102a and 102b, and comprising suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or coding, they can be used as main network, is responsible for medium access control system (MAC) rank and transmits in WLAN basic network 100.As the IEEE802.11 prescribed by standard, DS 104 is independent realizations.For example, DS104 can utilize IEEE802.3 ethernet local area network, IEEE802.4 token bus LAN, IEEE802.5 token loop wire LAN, FDDI (FDDI) metropolitan area network (MAN) or other IEEE802.11 wireless medium to realize.DS 104 can utilize the physical media identical with a BSS 102a or the 2nd BSS 102b to realize.But DS 104 is logically different with BSS, only can be used on to transmit grouping between the BSS and/or transmit grouping between BSS and cable network 106.
Cable network 106 comprises suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or the coding that can provide the spider lines operation.Cable network 106 can be by inlet 108 visited WLAN basic networks 100.Inlet 108 comprises and is used for suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or the coding of associating WLAN basic network 100 and non-IEEE802.11 network.In addition, the feature operation that inlet 108 also can be used to carry out bridge is as the scope expansion and/or change between different frame formats, to connect WLAN basic network 100 and based on the network of IEEE802.11.
AP 112a and 112b comprise suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or coding, and they can connect essential interface to the network between the BSSs by providing, and support the scope expansion of WLAN basic network 100.STA 110a and STA 110b are equivalent to WLAN activated terminals equipment, and this terminal comprises can be by AP for the suitable hardware that is connected to WLAN basic network 100, logical circuit, circuitry and/or coding.STA 110a is a kneetop computer, is equivalent to mobile radio station or terminal equipment in the BSS, and STA 110b is a desktop computer, is equivalent to a fixing or quiescent terminal equipment in the BSS.Each BSS comprises a plurality of moving or fixed station, and is not subject to the typical case shown in Figure 1A.
Figure 1B is the typical WLAN basic network block diagram of in the one embodiment of the invention, comprising the basic service group (BSS) who has the station of supporting the WLAN/ Bluetooth coexistence.With reference to Figure 1B, the difference of the WLAN basic network 100 among this WLAN basic network 120 and Figure 1A is to have the station or the terminal that comprise among the BSS that at least one supports Bluetooth technology at least.In this respect, the 2nd BSS 102b comprises additional mobile terminal device or station, and as personal digital assistant (PDA) 110c and mobile phone 110d, and kneetop computer 110a wherein has Bluetooth function.Peripheral unit 114 is parts of the Wireless Personal Network (WPAN) supported of Bluetooth function kneetop computer.For example, kneetop computer 110a can link to each other with keyboard, mouse, printer, mobile phone, PDA or a series of earphone or microphone by Bluetooth technology, and wherein these devices and this kneetop computer 110a can form a special bluetooth piconet.Usually, a bluetooth piconet can comprise a main equipment or terminal equipment, and reaches seven from device or terminal.In the present embodiment, kneetop computer 110a can be equal to main Bluetooth terminal, and ancillary equipment 114 can be equal to from Bluetooth terminal.
Bluetooth function kneetop computer 110a shown in Figure 1B comprises a WLAN wireless device and a Bluetooth radio, they allow this kneetop computer respectively by AP 112b and this WLAN basic network communication and with this bluetooth piconet communication.Because the size of kneetop computer 110a is contained in the signal interference that can cause in the same terminal equipment between WLAN and the BT communication with WLAN and BT wireless device.When PDA110c and/or mobile phone 110d have Bluetooth function, the less factor of these coexistence terminal shape can cause occurring a little radio frequency (RF) path loss between WLAN and the BT wireless device, and causes the interference between WLAN and the BT communication most probably.
Fig. 1 C be in the one embodiment of the invention one typical and be equipped with the block diagram that uses a model of the coexistence terminal of WLAN and Bluetooth radio.With reference to figure 1C, mobile phone 110d comprises a WLAN wireless device with AP 112c communication.Path loss between AP112c and the mobile phone 110d can be, as, 10 meters 65dB.A formula that is used for calculating the RF path loss is provided in the IEEE802.15.2 draft.Mobile phone 110d also can have Bluetooth function, comprises one with bluetooth earphone 122 and/or have the Bluetooth radio of residential gateway 124 communications of blue teeth wireless phone function.Because the factor that mobile phone 110d shape is less, WLAN and Bluetooth radio are so approaching each other in same coexistence terminal, make that a wireless device can be by another desensitising to such an extent as to the isolation between them is enough low.
This Bluetooth function mobile phone 110d comprises two transmission power level.For example, this mobile phone 110d can be used as 1 class power stage terminal equipment running, with the maximum transmission power of residential gateway 124 communications be 20dBm.In another example, this mobile phone 110d can be used as 2 class power stage terminal equipments runnings, with the maximum transmission power of bluetooth earphone 122 communications be 4dBm.Bluetooth earphone 122 comprises suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or the coding that can be used to receive and/or send audio signal.For example, bluetooth earphone 122 can be used to receive and/or send the sound of modulating from the Continuously Variable Slope increment (CVSD) of mobile phone 110d, or receives A2DP from mobile phone 110d, as MP3.Residential gateway 124 comprises suitable hardware, logical circuit, circuitry and/or the coding that can be used to receive and/or transmit data and/or audio signal.For example, residential gateway 124 can receive and/or transmit the sound of the CVSD modulation of 64kb/s.
In running, mobile phone 110d can receive sound or audio content from the WLAN basic network by AP112c, and sound or audio content are passed to bluetooth earphone 122 or sound-content is passed to residential gateway 124.Similarly, bluetooth earphone 122 and residential gateway can be passed to sound-content Bluetooth function mobile phone 110d, and Bluetooth function mobile phone 110d can pass to voice signal other user successively by the WLAN basic network.
A Bluetooth function station, the Bluetooth function cell phone 110d shown in Fig. 1 C can support a plurality of bluetooth packet communications.For example, a Bluetooth function station can be supported to connect synchronously guiding (SCO) logic and transmit grouping, divides into groups as HV3.
Fig. 2 A is that in the one embodiment of the invention is typical in the BT HV3 frame of TX_BT signal and the communication sequential chart of WLAN transmission.With reference to figure 2A, the Bluetooth radio in the Bluetooth function station can be used to transmit bluetooth (BT) HV3 grouping.BT HV3 grouping is generally used for the voice transfer of 64kb/s but is not subject to this.BT HV3 grouping can comprise that 30 information bytes, payload length are 240 and do not have payload header to occur.This byte can not be subjected to forward error correction (FEC) protection, and Cyclic Redundancy Check can not occur.Because do not support BT HV3 packet retransmission, when a BT HV3 grouping was not received, total delivery quality will reduce, because the information that comprises in the BT HV3 that the loses grouping can be not retransmitted.As a result, BT HV3 meeting in group requires higher transmission priority, to avoid and the interference of WLAN between transmitting.
With reference to figure 2A, wherein show BT HV3 from a coexistence station or the terminal equipment typical sequential of carrying out communication.The transmission that a pair of BT HV3 is grouped between a station or terminal equipment and the peripheral unit is regarded as a BT HV3 frame.Grouping 202 can be passed to peripheral unit by slave station in time slot f (k), grouping 204 can be passed to the station from peripheral unit in time slot f (k+1).A time slot duration in the bluetooth communication is 625 μ s, in the frequency hopping order of AFH (AFH), and the corresponding different frequency of each time slot.The duration of a BTHV3 frame is 1.25ms.Transmit BT HV3 from the coexistence terminal and be grouped in per the 6th time slot or per the 3rd BT HV3 frame generation.For example, first grouping can be in the transmission of time slot f (k) slave station, and the next one is grouped in the transmission of time slot f (k+6) slave station.Similarly, stand and to receive first grouping at time slot f (k+1), in time slot f (k+7), receive next grouping.As a result, in the time period of two BTHV3 frames that a 2.5msWLAN pass-through box is provided, Bluetooth transmission can not take place.
As can be seen from the figure, TX_BT signal 206 is affirmed in time slot f (k) and f (k+1) and in time slot f (k+6) and the f (k+7), provides preferential transmission to cross the WLAN transmission to BT HV3 grouping.Certainly TX_BT signal 206 can make the WLAN transmission in the interior WLAN wireless device in coexistence station lose efficacy.WLAN transmission window 208 shows the time period of affirming between the TX_BT signal 206 when the WLAN wireless device can transmit the WLAN grouping.In this embodiment, the WLAN wireless device can transmit the WLAN grouping in to f (k+5) and time slot f (k+8) to f (k+11) at time slot f (k+2).
Fig. 2 B is the sure routine sequential chart of a typical TX_BT signal in the one embodiment of the invention.With reference to figure 2B, wherein show BT HV3 frame 210, the one TX_BT signals 212, and the 2nd TX_BT signal 214.The one TX_BT signal 212 can be had precedence over the starting point of BT HV3 frame 210 certainly, provides the time to finish or stops the current WLAN grouping with firmware in the WLAN wireless device at coexistence station and/or hardware and transmit.First TX_BT signal 212 can be affirmed in a guard time.This guard time can change only having precedence between BT HV3 frame 210 starting points 200 μ s to the 250 μ s.
In this respect, firmware in the WLAN wireless device and/or hardware can produce and/or store about finishing or stop the information of current WLAN packet delivery.After a TX_BT signal 212 was denied, the WLAN wireless device can utilize generation and/or canned data to restart the WLAN packet communications.
In another embodiment of operation certainly, the 2nd TX_BT signal 214, is transmitted with the current WLAN grouping that stops WLAN wireless device in the coexistence station for just having precedence over the starting point of BT HV3 frame 210 by certainly.When pin place that the 2nd TX_BT signal 214 is being closed the power amplifier that is used for supporting the WLAN packet delivery in the WLAN wireless device by certainly the time, can utilize this method.At this moment, firmware and/or the hardware in the WLAN wireless device can produce and/or store about stopping the information of current WLAN data packet delivery.After the 2nd TX_BT signal 214 was denied, this WLAN wireless device 204 can utilize generation and/or canned data to restart the WLAN packet communications.
