Description

  The present invention relates to a receiving apparatus, a mobile communication terminal, and a communication system, and more particularly to a receiving apparatus incorporated in a digital mobile communication terminal, and a communication system constructed including the digital mobile communication terminal and the digital mobile communication terminal.

  As a feature of mobile communication, there are multiple wave propagation paths (multipath) due to Doppler effect due to transmission and reception during movement or shielding, reflection, diffraction, etc. by buildings. In multipath, intersymbol interference occurs between a preceding wave and a delayed wave of transmission data. In order to remove this intersymbol interference from the received signal and extract the original transmission data, an equalizer is required in the receiving device of the mobile communication terminal.

  In recent mobile communication systems, it is indispensable to use an equalizer because of the demand for higher transmission speed. However, when receiving a received signal, there is a technical problem that the power consumption of the equalizer is large, and a mobile communication terminal using a battery or a battery as a power source cannot be used for a long time.

  Patent Documents 1 to 3 below disclose a method for reducing power consumption in a mobile portable terminal or a receiver thereof.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a method in which a reception signal level measurement / determination unit is provided in a reception circuit and an equalizer is operated only when a decrease in reception signal level is detected. On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a method of stopping an equalizer when a received signal level is smaller than a reference value. Patent Document 3 discloses a method of operating an equalizer only when a transmission radio wave is received.

As shown in FIG. 7, this type of receiving circuit includes an antenna 1 that receives transmission data from the transmitting side, a radio frequency (RF) amplifier unit 2 that performs amplification and frequency conversion of the received signal, and analog-to-digital conversion. AD converter 3 to perform, demodulator 4 to demodulate, timing compensation circuit 5 to perform timing compensation of the received signal, equalizer 6 to remove intersymbol interference due to multipath fading, and received signal after equalization processing Are provided with an error correction decoding unit 7 that performs error correction decoding and a reception level measurement / determination unit 8 that measures the quality of the received signal and determines the quality.
Japanese Patent No. 3257591 Japanese Patent No. 2646314 Japanese Patent No. 3168610

  However, in the mobile portable terminal or the receiver disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the following points have not been considered.

  The above-described mobile portable terminal or its receiver can receive the signal level even when the reception environment changes such as the intersymbol interference strength due to the influence of the transmission path and the high frequency line quality (SNR: Signal to Noise Ratio). As a result, there is a possibility that an error occurs in the decoded data, resulting in a deterioration in voice quality or a packet loss. Furthermore, when the reception environment changes, the threshold of reception quality cannot be changed even for error correctable data, so that there is a possibility that voice quality is deteriorated or packet loss occurs. Therefore, in the mobile portable terminal or its receiver, reception performance may be reduced.

  According to this configuration, the error correction decoding unit that performs the decoding process on the reception signal after the equalization process that has passed through the equalizer outputs the error correction decoding result to the threshold setting unit, and the threshold setting unit performs error correction decoding. The threshold value used for the reception quality determination can be adjusted (variable or corrected) according to the result. Even when a reception signal that satisfies a certain standard has an error after decoding due to a change in the reception environment, the reception quality of the reception signal can be determined based on the threshold adjusted in the reception quality determination means. Reception performance can be improved. Furthermore, the operation of the equalizer is controlled based on the adjusted threshold. Specifically, when the reception quality of the received signal is high and equalization processing is not necessary, and even when the equalization processing is executed, the received signal is correctly decoded. When it is not possible, control to stop the equalizer is performed, and when reception quality of the received signal is low and equalization processing is necessary, control to operate the equalizer can be performed, so that power consumption is reduced. Can do.

  In the receiving apparatus of the present invention, the threshold setting means includes a counter that counts the result of the error correction decoding, and a table that stores a plurality of thresholds that are adjusted according to the reception quality, and the error correction decoding is performed by the counter. In this case, the threshold value is changed when it is measured that the result is poor or good for a predetermined time or more.

  The receiving apparatus of the present invention employs a configuration in which the error correction decoding result in the error correction decoding unit is a result of Viterbi decoding (Viterbi) or a result of cyclic redundancy check (CRC).

  The receiving apparatus of the present invention further includes a comparator for comparing the received signal after the equalization processing of the equalizer and the received signal before the equalization processing, and the threshold setting means compares the received signal of the comparator. A configuration is adopted in which a threshold value used for determination of the received signal is adjusted based on the result.

  In the receiving apparatus of the present invention, the threshold setting unit adjusts the first threshold value and the second threshold value, and the control unit determines that the reception quality is equal to or higher than the first threshold value in the reception quality determination unit. The equalizer is stopped, and when the reception quality is less than or equal to the second threshold, control is performed to stop the operation of the equalizer and the error correction decoding unit.

  In the receiving apparatus of the present invention, the threshold value setting means includes a counter that counts the result of the error correction decoding, and a table that stores a plurality of first threshold values and second threshold values that are adjusted according to the reception quality. The first threshold value and the second threshold value are changed when the counter determines that the result of the error correction decoding is defective or good for a predetermined time or more, and the control means includes the reception quality judgment means When the reception quality is equal to or higher than the first threshold value, the operation of the equalizer is stopped, and when the reception quality is equal to or lower than the second threshold value, the equalizer and the error correction decoding unit A configuration is adopted in which the operation is stopped and the operation of starting the operation of the equalizer and the error correction decoding unit is performed when the reception quality is measured to be good for a predetermined time or more.

[Configuration of receiving apparatus, mobile communication terminal, and communication system]

The receiving apparatus 10 measures the reception quality of the received signal, the equalizer 22 that removes the intersymbol interference of the received signal due to multipath fading, detects the decoding error of the received signal, and detects the decoding error.

  In the embodiment, the measuring means of the receiving apparatus 10 includes a reception level detection unit 16 that simply detects the reception level of the reception signal output from the high-frequency amplifier unit 12, and a code of the reception signal output from the demodulator 14. And an intersymbol interference strength measuring unit 17 for simply measuring the intersymbol interference strength. The reception quality determination means includes a reception quality determination unit 18. The reception quality determination unit 18 inputs the detection result of the reception level detection unit 16 and the measurement result of the intersymbol interference strength measurement unit 17, inputs the threshold adjusted from the threshold setting means, and receives the signal level based on the threshold. Reception quality and signal quality of intersymbol interference strength are determined.

  The threshold setting means includes a reception quality threshold setting unit 25 in the embodiment. The reception quality threshold setting unit 25 is connected to the error correction decoding unit 24, and a decoding determination signal indicating the result of error correction decoding is output from the error correction decoding unit 24 to the reception quality threshold setting unit 25. ing. Although not shown, the reception quality threshold setting unit 25, in the embodiment, a counter that counts the error correction decoding result (the number of decoding determination signals), a table that stores a plurality of thresholds that are adjusted according to reception quality, It has.

  Here, the plurality of threshold values stored in the table are a first threshold value α1, a second threshold value α2, a first threshold value β1 that determines an intersymbol interference strength, and a second threshold value. In addition to the threshold value β2, the threshold value β2 is used to include a threshold value that is adjusted (variable or corrected) according to a change in the reception environment. The reception quality threshold setting unit 25 basically adjusts the threshold based on the decoding determination signal, and outputs the adjusted threshold to the reception quality determination unit 18.

  The above-mentioned counter built in the reception quality threshold setting unit 25 counts the result of error correction decoding, and changes the threshold when it is measured that the error correction decoding result is defective or good for a predetermined time or more. It has become. The counter is not necessarily limited to being provided in the reception quality threshold setting unit 25. For example, the counter is built in or externally attached to the error correction decoding unit 24 (built in the equalization / decoding processing unit 20). The result may be output to the reception quality threshold setting unit 25. A specific operation of the reception quality threshold setting unit 25 and a specific description of the threshold will be described later.

  The equalizer 22 and the error correction decoding unit 24 construct an equivalent / decoding processing unit 20. The equalization / decoding processing unit 20 further includes a selector 21 and a comparator 23. The selector 21 selects whether the reception signal output from the timing compensation circuit 15 is output to the equalizer 22 or directly to the comparator 23. The comparator 23 compares the received signal from which the intersymbol interference has been removed output from the equalizer 22 with the received signal output from the timing compensation circuit 15, and outputs the comparison result to the error correction decoding unit 24. .

  The control means is constructed by the control unit 19 in the embodiment. The control unit 19 outputs an equalization / decoding processing control signal for controlling the operation of the equalization / decoding processing unit 20 based on the reception quality determination result of the reception signal output from the reception quality determination unit 18, and this An equalizer control signal for controlling the operation of the equalizer 22 that constructs the equalization / decoding processing unit 20 is output to the selector 21.

[Receiver operation]
The receiving apparatus 10 shown in FIG. 1 first distributes the reception signal amplified and frequency-converted by the high-frequency amplifier unit 12 to the AD converter 13 and the reception level detection unit 16 of the measuring means. The reception level detector 16 measures the reception signal level.

  On the other hand, the received signal that has been subjected to analog-digital conversion in the AD converter 13 and demodulated in the demodulator 14 is input to the intersymbol interference strength measuring unit 17, and the intersymbol interference strength measuring unit 17 performs the following method. Intersymbol interference strength is calculated.

(1) The received signal (burst) received by the receiving apparatus 10 includes a known sequence (training unit) for estimating the transmission path and channel at the time of reception, as shown in FIG. Yes. The demodulator 14 can extract a known sequence from the received signal after demodulation processing (or after timing compensation of the timing compensation circuit 15) (this extracted known sequence is simply referred to as an extracted known sequence hereinafter). Although not shown, the intersymbol interference intensity measuring unit 17 includes a table (for example, a memory such as a RAM), and a known sequence as the receiving apparatus 10 set in advance is stored in this table (this storage is stored). The known series is hereinafter simply referred to as a stored known series.) The extracted known series is subjected to value conversion in order to correlate with the stored known series. Here, the extracted known sequence “1” is converted to “+1” and “0” is converted to “−1” (this converted known sequence is simply referred to as a converted known sequence hereinafter).

(2) As shown in FIG. 2B, the converted known sequence correlates with the stored known sequence for each symbol (hereinafter, the known sequence having this correlation is simply referred to as a correlated known sequence). . Here, a correlation method in which a product is obtained for each symbol is used for the correlation.

(3) As shown in FIG. 2 (c), in this correlation known series, the sum of correlation values is calculated for each symbol.

(4) As shown in FIG. 2D, the reciprocal of the sum of the calculated correlation values is calculated, and the calculated reciprocal becomes the intersymbol interference intensity. For example, when the difference between the extracted known sequence and the stored known sequence is large, the intersymbol interference strength approaches “1” (the intersymbol interference strength becomes “high”). Conversely, when the difference between the extracted known sequence and the stored known sequence is small, the intersymbol interference strength approaches “0” (the intersymbol interference strength becomes “low”).

  Next, the reception signal level detected by the reception level detection unit 16 is output to the reception quality determination unit 18, and the intersymbol interference strength measured by the intersymbol interference strength measurement unit 17 is output to the reception quality determination unit 18. . The reception quality determination unit 18 determines each of the reception signal level and the intersymbol interference strength. The threshold value used for each determination of the reception signal level and the intersymbol interference intensity corresponds to the equalization processing limit of the equalizer 22 and is provided in the reception quality threshold value setting unit 25.

  The threshold value is a first threshold value for determining that the reception quality of the received signal is high and the reception quality does not need to be equalized, and the reception quality of the received signal is poor and cannot be correctly decoded even if the equalization process is performed. Two types of threshold values, ie, a second threshold value for determining the possibility of reception quality, are set in the reception quality threshold value setting unit 25.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, in the determination of the received signal level, the first threshold value α1 for determining that the received signal level is good and the reception quality does not need to be equalized, and the received signal level A second threshold value α2 is set for determining that the reception quality is low and the reception quality may not be correctly decoded even if equalization processing is performed. Here, assuming that the received signal level is “x”, it is not necessary to perform equalization processing when the influence of the intersymbol interference intensity is not considered, or when the received signal level x is equal to or higher than the first threshold value α1. . On the contrary, when the received signal level x is equal to or lower than the second threshold value α2, there is a possibility that correct decoding cannot be performed even if equalization processing is performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the determination of the intersymbol interference strength, the first threshold value for determining that the intersymbol interference strength is low (reception quality is good) and that reception quality is not required to be equalized. β1 and a second threshold value β2 for determining that the reception quality is high that the intersymbol interference strength is high (reception quality is poor) and the decoding process may not be performed correctly even if the equalization process is performed. Here, assuming that the intersymbol interference strength is “y”, it is necessary to perform equalization processing when the influence of the received signal level is not taken into account, and when the intersymbol interference strength y is greater than or equal to the first threshold value β1. Absent. Conversely, when the intersymbol interference strength y is equal to or smaller than the second threshold value β2, there is a possibility that correct decoding cannot be performed even if equalization processing is performed.

  The first threshold values α1 and β1 and the second threshold values α2 and β2 are all adjusted (variable or corrected) in the received signal threshold value setting unit 25 based on the decoding determination signal output from the error correction decoding unit 24. Can do.

  Here, since there is no correlation between the received signal level and the intersymbol interference intensity, the received quality determination unit 18 determines the received signal according to the mode settings shown in the following (a) to (c) shown in FIG. Receive quality is determined.

(A) When received signal level x> first threshold α1 and intersymbol interference strength y> first threshold β1 (b) Received signal level x <second threshold α2 and intersymbol interference strength y <second (C) Cases other than (a) and (b) above

  In FIG. 5, a region z1 represents a threshold band of a difference between the first threshold values α1 and β1. Similarly, the region z2 represents the threshold band of the difference between the second threshold values α2 and β2.

  The mode (a) is a case where the reception quality determination unit 18 determines that the reception signal level is high and the intersymbol interference strength is low, that is, the reception quality is high. In this case, since it is not necessary to perform equalization processing, the control unit 19 shown in FIG. 1 outputs an equalizer control signal to the selector 21. The selector 21 stops the equalization process by the equalizer 22 on the basis of the equalizer control signal, and directly transmits the received signal after the timing compensation to the comparator 23.

  Mode (b) is a case where the reception quality determination unit 18 determines that the reception signal level is low and the intersymbol interference strength is high, that is, the reception quality is low. In this case, there is a possibility that a correct decoding result may not be obtained even if equalization processing is performed, so the control unit 19 outputs an equalization / decoding processing control signal to the equalization / decoding processing unit 20. In the equalization / decoding processing unit 20, the operation of the equalization / decoding processing unit 20 is stopped based on the equalization / decoding processing control signal.

  That is, all equalization / decoding processes are stopped. In the receiving apparatus 10, when all equalization / decoding processes are stopped, the process up to the timing compensation circuit 15 is performed, and the received signal level and the intersymbol interference intensity are equal to or higher than the second threshold value α2 and the second threshold value β2. In this case, the equalization / decoding process is started (restarted) again. The equalization / decoding process is started by the equalization / decoding process control signal output from the control unit 19 based on the reception quality determination result output from the reception quality determination unit 18.

  Mode (c) is a case where it is determined that the received signal level and the intersymbol interference intensity are normal levels, that is, the received quality is normal level. In this case, the control unit 19 outputs an equalizer control signal to the selector 21 and outputs an equalization / decoding processing control signal to the equalization / decoding processing unit 20. In the equalization / decoding processing unit 20, equalization / decoding processing is performed based on the equalization / decoding processing control signal. The selector 21 transmits the received signal after timing compensation to the equalizer 22 based on the equalizer control signal, and the equalizer 22 performs equalization processing.

  In the equalization / decoding process of the receiving apparatus 10 as described above, the error correction decoding unit 24 shown in FIG. 1 constantly monitors the decoding result for a certain symbol or burst. This decoding result is output from the error correction decoding unit 24 to the reception quality threshold setting unit 25 as a decoding determination signal. Here, as the result of error correction decoding, the result of Viterbi decoding or the result of cyclic redundancy check can be used practically.

  The counter provided in the reception quality threshold setting unit 25 counts the number of receptions of the decoding determination signal, and outputs a signal to that effect when a state where the decoding determination signal cannot be correctly decoded continues for a specified symbol or burst. In the reception quality threshold setting unit 25, based on the output of this counter, instead of the first threshold values α 1 and β 1 and the second threshold values α 2 and β 2 currently used in the reception quality determination unit 18, a table is provided. An appropriate threshold value that is separately stored and used for determination of reception quality is output to reception quality determination unit 18. That is, the reception quality determination unit 18 can adjust the threshold value.

  Specifically, during the operation of the receiving apparatus 10, there may be a case where decoding cannot be performed correctly even though the reference value of reception quality is satisfied due to a change in high frequency characteristics or a change in signal power to interference power ratio (CIR). . For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the reception quality exists in the region (threshold band) z1 and decoding cannot be performed correctly, a decoding determination signal is output from the error correction decoding unit 24. Based on this, the reception quality threshold setting unit 25 outputs the threshold adjusted to raise the area z1 as indicated by the arrow A to the reception quality determination unit 18. As a result, the equalizer 22 can perform an equalization process.

  In addition, when the reception quality exists in the region z2 and there is a high possibility that the decoding cannot be correctly performed even if equalization processing is performed, a threshold adjusted to raise the region z2 as indicated by an arrow B is set as the reception quality. The result is output to the determination unit 18. As a result, equalization / decoding processing can be prevented from being performed.

  On the other hand, the signal power to interference power ratio may be improved, and reception signal equalization may not be required. In this case, the received signal after timing compensation is sorted by the selector 21, and the received signal that has been equalized in the equalizer 22 is compared with the received signal that does not pass through the equalizer 22. As a result, when it is determined that decoding can be performed correctly without performing equalization processing, a decoding determination signal is output from the error correction decoding unit 24 to the reception quality threshold setting unit 25, and based on this decoding determination signal The reception quality threshold setting unit 25 outputs the threshold adjusted so as to lower the region z <b> 1 as indicated by the arrow C to the reception quality determination unit 18. As a result, the equalization process by the equalizer 22 can be prevented from being performed.

  Similarly, when the reception quality is low and the operation of the equalization / decoding processing unit 20 is stopped, the equalization / decoding process is temporarily resumed at regular intervals. In this equalization / decoding process at regular time intervals, when a certain number of results obtained by correctly decoding the received signal are obtained, a threshold value adjusted so as to lower the region z2 as indicated by an arrow D is received. It outputs to the quality determination part 18. As a result, equalization / decoding processing by the equalization / decoding processing unit 20 can be performed.

  As described above, according to the embodiment, the error correction decoding unit 24 that performs the decoding process on the reception signal after the equalization process that has passed through the equalizer 22 outputs the error correction decoding result to the reception quality threshold setting unit 25. The reception quality threshold setting unit 25 can adjust (variably or correct) a threshold used for determination of reception quality according to the result of error correction decoding. Even if a received signal that satisfies a certain standard has an error after decoding due to a change in the reception environment, the reception quality of the received signal can be determined based on the threshold adjusted in the reception quality determination unit 18. The receiving performance of the receiving device 10 can be improved. By improving the reception performance of the reception device 10, it is possible to improve the reception performance of the mobile communication terminal incorporating the reception device 10, and as a result, it is possible to improve the reception performance of the entire communication system.

  Further, the operation of the equalizer 22 is controlled based on the adjusted threshold. Specifically, when the reception quality of the received signal is high and equalization processing is not required, and even when the equalization processing is executed, the received signal is correctly processed. When decoding cannot be performed, the equalizer 22 is controlled to be stopped. When the reception quality of the received signal is low and equalization processing is necessary, the equalizer 22 can be controlled to operate. Power consumption can be reduced. Furthermore, since the threshold value used for determining the reception quality can be adjusted, the reception performance can be further improved and the power consumption can be further reduced.

  The receiving apparatus, mobile communication terminal and communication system according to the present invention have the effect that power consumption can be reduced and reception performance can be improved even when the reception environment changes. The present invention can also be applied to devices and systems having the above processing circuits.
