Technical field
The present invention relates to the mobile channel analogue technique of mobile communication system, specially refer to a kind of mobile channel analogy method.
Background technology
Fig. 1 has shown the basic model of mobile communication system.As shown in Figure 1, at down direction, the baseband signal of the baseband processing module of base station output is formed on the radiofrequency signal of transmitting on the mobile channel through after the modulation of radio-frequency module; The radio-frequency module of travelling carriage receives after the radiofrequency signal of transmitting on the mobile channel, generates baseband signal through demodulation, and then outputs to baseband processing module and handle.Similarly, on up direction, the baseband signal of the baseband processing module of travelling carriage output is formed on the radiofrequency signal of transmitting on the mobile channel through after the modulation of radio-frequency module; The radio-frequency module of base station receives after the radiofrequency signal of transmitting on the mobile channel, generates baseband signal through demodulation, and then outputs to baseband processing module.
Need to prove that above-mentioned mobile channel belongs to wireless channel, and wireless channel have a lot of transmission characteristics different with wire message way.For example, aspect loss, wireless channel is except having common loss, and the electromagnetic wave that also has owing to transmission is subjected to building and massif etc. and stops the slow fading loss that produces, promptly so-called shadow effect on transmission path; And the rapid fading loss that produces owing to the multipath transmisstion effect of signal in wireless environment.In addition, because user's mobility at random in the mobile communication system, mobile channel also will have the far and near different near-far interference that produce apart from the base station owing to different mobile subscribers, and because Doppler effect that mobile subscriber's high-speed mobile is brought or the like.Generally speaking, the transmission characteristic of mobile channel is quite complicated, and be the design basis of mobile communication equipment, many technology in the mobile communication all have direct or indirect getting in touch with the transmission characteristic of mobile channel, thereby have only by the research to the mobile channel propagation characteristic and could provide reliable foundation for the research and development and the optimization of mobile communication system.
Under normal conditions, mobile channel can use following mathematic(al) representation to characterize:
Wherein, h

2, the average power of k user's of this parametric representation l bar multipath, ITU and 3GPP have provided the power P of each path l of parameter L under the various environment respectively
K, lWith time delay τ
K, lValue.By above-mentioned formula as can be seen, the response of k user's mobile channel be L paths impulse response and.
Because mobile channel has time variation and characteristics such as bigger affected by environment, in the research and test process of mobile communication system, usually directly do not use real mobile channel, and be to use the mobile channel in the mobile channel simulator analog mobile communication system.Because the mobile channel simulator can utilize technology such as Digital Signal Processing to make its impulse response be equivalent to above-mentioned mobile channel model on statistical significance, thereby the development and testing personnel can directly pass through the mobile channel of mobile channel simulator simulating reality, and to studying and test through the signal of mobile channel simulator processing, and need not in real wireless environment, to test, simplified the complexity of test greatly.
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 have shown respectively when mobile communication system is tested, the signal processing of its down direction and up direction.As shown in Figure 2, at down direction, the baseband signal S (t) of base station baseband processing module output generates radiofrequency signal RF_BS1 (t) through after the modulation of radio-frequency module, sends to the mobile channel simulator then; After the mobile channel simulator is handled radiofrequency signal, generate radiofrequency signal RF_UE1 (t), send to the radio-frequency module of travelling carriage, radio-frequency module carries out exporting baseband signal after the demodulation.At this moment, the tester then can directly analyze demodulated baseband signal, finishes the test to mobile communication system.

In above-mentioned mobile channel analogy method, the mobile channel simulator need receive the radiofrequency signal of base station or travelling carriage output, and the radiofrequency signal that receives handled, make the signal of its output be equivalent to the signal of real mobile channel output, and then export to travelling carriage or base station.In above-mentioned processing procedure, because radiofrequency signal is an analog signal, it is the Digital Signal Processing operation that digital signal just can be simulated true mobile channel then accordingly with the analog signal conversion of importing at first that the mobile channel simulator needs, and the digital signal that processing need be obtained is converted to analog signal output.In addition, the frequency of above-mentioned radiofrequency signal is very high under normal conditions, generally all more than the GHz rank, therefore, the mobile channel simulator needs mould/number conversion and D/A switch device at a high speed to carry out mould/number, D/A switch on the one hand, when above-mentioned high speed signal was carried out Digital Signal Processing, the amount of calculation of its multiplication, add operation was very big on the other hand, was difficult to realize.
In addition, when the speed of radiofrequency signal is very high, the mobile channel simulation requires also very high to the control precision that radiofrequency signal arrives angle, but, because prior art in practice is very limited to the arrival angle analog capability of high speed analog signal, especially in the simulation process to 3-G (Generation Three mobile communication system), thereby be difficult to realize radiofrequency signal is arrived the accurate control of angle.
In sum, can test mobile communication system, in the application of reality, significant limitation be arranged though use above-mentioned mobile channel analogy method.
