Multi-path searching method for multiple mobile station
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of mobile communication, relate in particular to the realization of many travelling carriages Multipath searching in the broadband CDMA system.
Background technology
In the mobile communication technology in modern times, Wideband CDMA Technology more and more is subjected to using widely, and for base station (NodeB), the Multipath searching technology is the important step that its reception is achieved.General Multipath searching is handled operating procedure (as shown in Figure 1) as described below:
1) 101 read the antenna data operation: the function of this operating procedure is to read the needed data of this associative operation from the antenna buffer memory, and the data that read are written in the associative operation data storage;
2) 102 local scrambler sequence generating runs: the function of this operating procedure is the conjugate sequence that generates corresponding scrambler in the antenna data, and this conjugate sequence added expand to handle--add that to expand the spreading code (OVSF) chosen identical with spreading code in the antenna data, be written in the scrambler memory of associative operation generating scrambler sequence well;
3) 103 associative operations: the function of this operating procedure is that the local scrambler sequence of the generation of data that step 101 is read back and step 102 multiplies each other;
4) 104 de-spreading operations: the function of this operating procedure is the result of step 103 to be carried out addition by the spreading factor size handle;
5) 105 coherent accumulations operation: the function of this operating procedure is that pilot tone (pilot) data division among the result of step 104 is gone the symbol addition, and the coherent accumulation result is written among the coherent accumulation storage RAM;
6) 106 noncoherent accumulations operation: the function of this operating procedure is that the result of each time 105 is asked addition behind the mould, the result after the addition is written to noncoherent accumulation stores among the RAM;
7) 107 output functions as a result: the function of this operating procedure is that the final result of noncoherent accumulation is written among the output RAM, so that carry out follow-up other processing.
In practice, a base station usually communicates with a plurality of travelling carriages (UE), and this just need carry out Multipath searching to all UE that insert.By the principle of radio communication as can be known, the physical characteristic of wireless channel changes not quite within a certain period of time, does not change no better than, therefore all the time the multipath of same UE is searched for regard to unnecessary, can be interrupted periodically and search for.That is to say, in one section special time, a certain UE is carried out Multipath searching, and just can not carry out Multipath searching in the period to this UE at ensuing another section, this section free time just can be used for other UE is carried out Multipath searching, promptly is to utilize time-multiplexed notion to come the UE of all accesses is carried out Multipath searching.
In the prior art, be to be time division multiplexinges (as shown in Figure 2) such as object carries out with UE, for example, suppose that base station and 4 UE communicate, then the search cycle is divided into four sections, each UE utilizes a section in the cycle to search for, 201 time periods search UE
0, 202 time periods search UE
1, 203 time periods search UE
2, 204 time periods search UE
3Therefore, the time period that these 4 UE are carried out Multipath searching equates, time-division multiplexing method such as can be called.In 201,202,203,204 separately time periods four/one-period, UE is searched for processing by Multipath searching treatment step recited above.When next cycle arrives by the time, in the identical time period four/one-period, carry out new once search again.
In general, integration lengths (coherent accumulation length and noncoherent accumulation length are long-pending) is shorter, and performance is just not ideal.In the prior art, often only after finishing, could search for the integration of certain UE other UE, time-multiplexed method such as this makes that the flexibility that integration lengths is provided with is relatively poor, because it is oversize that the integration lengths of certain UE obtains, make the whole search cycle elongated, when next cycle arrives by the time, the multipath characteristics of possible UE correspondence changes already, if integration lengths is established too shortly, though the search cycle has shortened, but the data volume that can utilize in each search is less, makes that the Search Results performance may be not ideal.
Summary of the invention
To the objective of the invention is the unfavorable shortcoming of the performance of bringing owing to the search cycle is dumb that exists in the prior art in order overcoming, to propose the multi-path searching method for multiple mobile station that a kind of search cycle is more flexible, search performance is better.
In order to realize the foregoing invention purpose, the present invention proposes a kind of multi-path searching method for multiple mobile station, comprising:
Step 1, relevant, the noncoherent accumulation length of customization;
Step 2, customized searches cycle, the described search cycle is for to carry out Multipath searching in certain time period to travelling carriage;
Step 3, start-up time of each travelling carriage is set;
Search cycle in the described step 2 is the coherent accumulation length of travelling carriage.
The search time of all travelling carriages and non-search time be identical;
Described search time and non-search time unit can is-symbols, time slot or frame.
Described step 3 specifically comprises:
(1) starts many travelling carriages, initialization system start-up time, current system time;
(2) if the ratio in the system time that current mobile station starts and the cycle of the difference of system start-up time and current mobile station more than or equal to the coherent accumulation length of all travelling carriages that started with, be the start-up time of current mobile station, current system time and current mobile station cycle and, deduct the ratio in the cycle of current system time and the difference of system start-up time and current mobile station, add the coherent accumulation length of all travelling carriages that started;
If the ratio in the system time that current mobile station starts and the cycle of the difference of system start-up time and current mobile station less than the coherent accumulation length of all travelling carriages that started with, then be the start-up time of current mobile station, the coherent accumulation length of the travelling carriage that current system time and all have started and, deduct the ratio in the cycle of current system time and the difference of system start-up time and current mobile station.
Adopt multi-path searching method for multiple mobile station provided by the invention, can choose different integration periods to different UE, and the search cycle do not influence the setting of integration lengths, can improve the flexibility that integration lengths is provided with greatly, thereby can improve search performance greatly.The present invention makes many UE with the search that hockets of coherent accumulation length, because coherent accumulation length is generally all very short, makes search reach similar degree of concurrence.In addition, because the length of noncoherent accumulation is not subjected to the restriction of search cycle, can improve search performance greatly.

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with embodiment the method for the invention is described further.
In the method for the invention, comprised the customization of three major criterions, one is relevant noncoherent accumulation length customization, one is the search cycle customization, also has one to be setting start-up time of each UE.Wherein, customization principle relevant, the customization of noncoherent accumulation length is: utilize the result that will make search relevant, noncoherent accumulation length of customization to satisfy false footpath probability restriction under the different case of 3GPP regulation, the different signal interference ratio situation, the unit of coherent accumulation length is " symbol ", the noncoherent accumulation long measure is " inferior ", promptly be to how many " inferior " coherent accumulations as a result energy value carry out noncoherent accumulation.
And the method for customizing of search cycle is: " search cycle " is exactly to be defined in certain time period certain UE is carried out Multipath searching (this time period is called the active time with respect to this UE), this UE is not carried out Multipath searching (this time period is called the inactive time with respect to this UE) in the other time period, active time and inactive time are based on UE comparatively speaking, and the acitve time of certain UE is exactly the inactive time with respect to other UE.Active and inactive chronomere can is-symbols (symbol), also can be time slots (slot), can also be frame (frame).The search cycle customization is exactly that concerning a certain UE, active length is exactly the length of its coherent accumulation to the different UE design search cycles separately, and the inactive time just equals the active time sum of other UE, if UE
0, UE
1..., UE
NCoherent accumulation length be respectively Coh

N..., Coh
0+ ...+Coh
N-2+ Coh
N, the cycle of all UE is identical, also is active
0+ inactive
0=active
1+ inactive
1=...=active
N+ inactive

For being provided with start-up time of each UE, the concrete grammar that the time is provided with is: the start-up time of each UE and search cycle are relevant with the UE coherent accumulation length that has started, suppose to start 0,1 ..., common I the UE of I-1, the system start-up time is t
0(chronomere is consistent with the coherent accumulation long measure), current system time are t
CurrentIf, (t
Current-t
0) % (active+inactive) is more than or equal to (coh
0+ coh
1+ ...+coh
I-1), UE then
IStart-up time be t
Current+ (active+inactive)-((t
Current-t
0) % (active+inactive))+(coh
0+ coh
1+ ...+coh
I-1), if (t
Current-t
0) % (active+inactive) is less than (coh
0+ coh
1+ ...+coh
I-1), then be t the start-up time of UEI
Current+ ((coh

4) carry out the loop cycle Multipath searching by the general Multipath searching operating procedure described in " background technology ", the order of search is: slot#0~1 (UE
0)-slot#2 (UE
1)-slot#3 (UE
2)-slot#4~5 (UE
0)-slot#6 (UE
1)-slot#7 (UE
2) ... (" slot#0~1 (UE
0) " be illustrated in the 0th, 1 time slot to UE
0Carry out Multipath searching).UE
