Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for channel estimation in vehicle-to-environment communication (C2X communication), in which a model of the environment influencing the vehicle-to-environment communication is generated from parameters of vehicle-to-environment communication where the quality of the model for the environment is determined by the convergence of the parameters used in the model.
- C2X communication vehicle-to-environment communication
- the data to be transmitted are first digitally modulated. This is also called symbol mapping.
- a pulse-shape filter a continuous-time baseband signal is generated. Before the signal can be transmitted via the actual transmission channel, the baseband signal is transformed into a so-called bandpass signal, for example by means of a quadrature modulator.
- the received signal is transformed back into a baseband signal via a corresponding quadrature demodulator, whereby certain suppression mechanisms can follow this inverse transformation.
- the transmission channel is determined by the physical communication characteristics of the system.
- the transmission signal can be optimally adapted to the characteristics of the channel, which are influenced by the environment of the transmitter and receiver, by a suitable choice of transmission and modulation methods.
- a so-called channel estimation is carried out on the receiver's side in order to be able to compensate for distortions that occur due to the transmission channel.
- reference signals in the transmitter are often in the
- the channel transfer function can then be estimated using a model.
- the known channel estimation methods generate a model of the environment using information from the communication itself.
- WO 2006/073691 A2 describes a possibility in which information about the relative distance between the vehicles is obtained by evaluating a communication channel between two vehicles. For this purpose, a current or calculated in a model transmission power and a received transmission strength are taken into account, the receiver determines the distance from the transmission power and the received transmission strength due to a model of free radio transmission. This inevitably requires communication between the various communication partners.
- satellite positioning systems can be used to improve the determination of the relative distance, wherein transmission losses on the transmission channel between vehicles with satellite positioning system determined and applied to vehicles without satellite positioning system to improve the distance estimation for vehicles in the same vehicle cluster.
- an alternative sensor system must be used to obtain an estimate of the environment.
- Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a way to close from the communication itself to environmental parameters.
- the invention takes advantage of the fact that the parameters used in the models for channel estimation converge to a certain value in a radio environment in which the transmission channel as such remains the same, that is, once the parameters are found, do not change within smaller limits , This is especially true if the found model, which models the transmission by radio transmission, is well adapted to the actual conditions. Therefore, the convergence profile of the parameters of a model for channel estimation allows conclusions to be drawn about the actual environment of the receiver, so that the medium of the vehicle-to-environment communication is within certain limits as an environmental sensor of a motor vehicle or more generally of a vehicle-to-vehicle receiver. Environment communication can be used.
- each model is assigned a typical environment in which this model describes the radio channel particularly well.
- the parameters show a particularly good convergence behavior, that is to say they are essentially constant in time over a given meaningful evaluation period.
- the appropriate model can then be selected and thus the environment of the receiver can be determined in the sense of an environmental sensor system.
- the convergence for the parameters can be evaluated according to the invention simultaneously for a plurality of different, different environments models for channel estimation, wherein the model with the best convergence, that is, the model in which the parameters currently in the least-watched period is selected. This selection applies both to the definition of the parameters of the C2X communication and to the determination of the environment of the communication subscriber in the sense of environment sensor technology.
- the course of the convergence of the parameters is assigned a hysteresis value and / or a threshold value which must be exceeded before a further change of the model for the channel estimation takes place.
- the course of the convergence of the parameters for the channel estimation can also be classified, wherein each class is assigned a value from which results whether and, if so, to which model of the channel estimation has to be switched.
- the classification therefore says that switching is not necessary.
- the method may also be proposed to perform a detailed evaluation of the parameters within the model of the channel estimation after a selection of the model for channel estimation, which enables a coarse estimation of the environment in the sense of a coarse environmental sensor, in order to achieve a further detailing of the environment.
- This can be achieved according to the invention, for example, by assigning certain parameter constellations to certain typical environmental features.
- the slope or curvature of a convergence curve of a parameter can also be evaluated.
- the invention also relates to a communication device for vehicle-to-environment communication (C2X) with a transmitter and / or receiver for transmitting / receiving communications messages in the vehicle-to-environment communication and a computing unit configured to carry out the communication , wherein in the arithmetic unit also a method for channel estimation is implemented.
- C2X vehicle-to-environment communication
- the prescribed method for channel estimation be fully or partially implemented in the arithmetic unit.
- Fig. 1 shows the convergence behavior of the parameters of various
- FIG. 2 shows the convergence behavior of various parameters a, b, c of a model and the overall convergence over time, which is summarized from these parameters, FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows a flow chart for carrying out the method according to the invention in accordance with a first embodiment
- FIG. 4 shows a flow chart for carrying out the method according to the invention in accordance with a second embodiment
- EDGE UMTS, LTE, WiMax, WLAN according to IEEE 802. la / b / g / n / ..., Bluetooth, ZigBee or key radio RKE are usually used so-called channel estimation methods, which model the physical properties of the transmission channel, to be able to determine optimum settings for the radio transmission.
- channel estimation methods which model the physical properties of the transmission channel, to be able to determine optimum settings for the radio transmission.
- These models use parameters that, depending on the suitability of the model, are better or worse converged, ie, remain constant (good convergence) or change (poor convergence) over a certain observation period.
- FIG. 1 shows the convergences of a parameter for different models A, B, C and D, which were determined in a radio communication by the receiver, the models A, B, C, D symbolizing different environments of the receiver. These environments may be, for example, cities, open countryside, tunnels, or the like.
- the parameter of model B converges best after initially poor convergence, since the convergence curve becomes flatter with increasing time. In other words, the time derivative (d / dt) of the curve is considered. If there is no significant change, the parameter converges.
- the model A is subject to greater fluctuations over the observation period and the model D leads to a significant divergence with increasing time.
- an evaluation of the divergence behavior would thus take place, for example, by evaluating the slope of the various divergence curves over time, with the lowest possible slope expressing particularly good convergence.
- the model B would be selected as the model with the optimal convergence and used both for the determination of the settings in the vehicle-to-environment communication and for the identification of the surroundings of the transmitter.
- Fig. 2 shows a deviating practice in which the various parameters a, b, and c of a model are combined into an overall convergence for the entire model. Such an overall convergence would result, for example, for each of the different models A, B, C, D according to FIG. 1, if several parameters are used in the model.
- a possibility for carrying out the method according to the invention is proposed in which a method for channel estimation is implemented in a computing unit of a communication device, in which the convergence for a multiplicity of different models is investigated in parallel and, as shown in FIG. the model with the best convergence is selected. For this, the convergence of each of the models is determined and the model with the best convergence is determined.
- This model is subsequently used both for determining the optimal settings in the communication and for determining the environment and thus also serves as an environment sensor according to the invention.
- This detailing takes place following the selection of a model from a given plurality of models, for each of which a convergence is calculated.
- This method is relatively computationally expensive and can also be replaced by the method described below with reference to FIG. 4.
- the convergence of only the model of the transmission channel currently being used for the channel estimation is determined, whereby a classification of the convergence takes place, which can also vary from model to model and can include the variability, the slope of the convergence curve or other criteria. From this classification it can be deduced which model best describes the instantaneous transmission behavior in the transmission channel. It may come to the conclusion that the present model already contains the best description, so that the environment is already optimally described.
- the suitable new model can be selected directly on the basis of the classification of the parameter (s). Subsequently, a detailing of the environment can also take place in this method on the basis of detailed evaluations of the convergence of the parameters.
- 5 describes a possibility for evaluating the convergence course of a parameter.
- the course of individual values of the parameter is recorded, whereby each detected value of the parameter is subjected as input variable 1 to an evaluation scheme 2.
- the input variable in the illustrated example is subjected to three different calculations, each of which starts from the input variable.
- an absolute value formation 3 of the input variable is undertaken.
- the absolute value of a logarithm 4 is subjected.
- the logarithmized values from the course of the parameter are then averaged in a mean value formation, whereby the averaging filters "1", “TP1” and “TP2” are used for averaging periods of different lengths.
- a computation unit 6 then makes the differences e between the current profile and the mean of the various average filters "1", “TPl” and “TP2” and eliances e1, e2 and e3 in an analyzer 7, which can be integrated with the arithmetic unit 6, evaluated. For this purpose, in particular, a transition or sign change is established, which is a measure of the convergence. Based on this information, a suitable model (Model 1, Model 2, Model 3) for channel estimation is selected in a model selection 8.
