Description

TD signal generator and frame timer system using multi-level counter in wireless communication system {FRAME TIMER SYSTEM AND TIME DIVISION DUPLEX SIGNAL GENERATOR USING MULTI LEVEL COUNTER IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a wireless communication system, and more particularly, to a technique for controlling a ratio of downlink and uplink intervals in order to process data in a TDD wireless communication system.

As the development of the wireless communication industry and the user's demand for the Internet service are gradually increasing, the conventional mobile communication network for providing the voice service cannot meet the user's needs. Recently, not only the voice service through the wireless communication network It is evolving into a multimedia communication service that transmits data such as circuit data and packet data.

Recently, due to the development of information and communication, IMT-2000, a third generation mobile communication system that has been standardized by ITU-R such as code division multiple access (CDMA) 2000 1X, 3X, EV-DO, and WCDMA (wideband CDMA). mobile telecommunication 2000) has been commercialized. IMT-2000 not only improves existing voice and WAP service quality, but also provides various multimedia services (AOD, VOD, etc.) at a faster speed.

However, the existing mobile communication system has a limitation in providing high-speed wireless Internet due to a high base station construction cost and high usage rate of the wireless Internet, and a limited screen size of the mobile communication terminal.

Accordingly, WiMAX (global interoperability for microwave access), which is a high-speed portable Internet service that guarantees portability and mobility and can use high-speed wireless Internet service at a low price, has emerged. WiMAX service uses various types of portable mobile terminals such as laptop, PDA, handheld PC, etc. and can use various information and contents by accessing the Internet in indoor and outdoor stationary environment and mobile environment of walking speed and low to medium speed It is a service.

The wireless communication system proposed in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 standard has a wider bandwidth of data than conventional wireless communication technology, so that a large amount of data can be transmitted in a short time, and all users share a channel. It is possible to use the channel efficiently.

Specifically, the wireless communication system proposed in the IEEE 802.16 standard uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDMA) as a modulation scheme and TDD (time as a duplex scheme).

division duplex (FDD) or frequency division duplex (FDD) is used.

Here, the OFDMA method has orthogonality between subcarriers, and may have excellent characteristics in multipath fading, and adaptively adjusts a data rate for each subcarrier according to a signal-to-noise ratio in a specific subcarrier. Can greatly improve.

1 is a diagram illustrating a difference between a general FDD signal 110 and a TDD signal 120.

Looking at the FDD signal 110 and the TDD signal 120 around the time axis, since the conventional communication system scheme is the FDD scheme 110 that uses the frequency divided by the uplink (UL, 111) unlike the TDD signal 120 There is no need to divide the data transmission interval and the downlink (DL, 112) data transmission interval. That is, the interval is divided so that it is not necessary to distinguish whether the current output is an uplink 111 data transmission interval or a downlink 112 data transmission interval. As a representative example of the current FDD method 110, the satellite communication system is divided into 4Ghz / 6Ghz.

Meanwhile, the TDD scheme 120 is a bidirectional transmission scheme in which downlink (DL, 122) data transmission intervals and uplink (UL, 121) data transmission intervals are alternately assigned in time in the same frequency band. Higher transmission efficiency than the FDD scheme 110, which allocates two different frequencies to the data transmission section and the uplink 111 data transmission section, and is asymmetric or bursty due to dynamic allocation of timeslots. There is an advantage for transmission.

In the frame of the wireless communication system using the TDD scheme 120, the downlink 122 data transmission section and the uplink 121 data transmission section are separated in time. In this case, the downlink 122 data transmission section and the uplink The ratio of the data transmission interval may be variously set according to the bandwidth of the channel, the symbol ratio of the downlink data transmission interval, and the uplink 121 data transmission interval.

In the wireless communication system using the TDD scheme 120, it is very important to distinguish the downlink 122 data transmission section and the uplink 121 data transmission section in order to transmit data more accurately.

TDD ( time division duplex ) Signal Generator

3 is a diagram illustrating a TDD signal generation device 310 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The TDD signal generation device 310 is connected to an external signal processing device to communicate data and signals and to generate a TDD signal. The TDD signal generator 310 includes a memory unit 311, a memory controller 312, a count unit 320, and a TDD signal generator 313.

The memory unit 311 stores the ratio value of the downlink period and the ratio value of the uplink period input from the external signal processing apparatus.

Here, the ratio value of the downlink period and the ratio of the uplink period are values representing the ratio of the downlink period and the uplink period in the TDD signal having one frame of 5 ms. The ratio value of the downlink interval and the ratio value of the uplink interval can be changed according to the request of the service provider, which is controlled by an external signal processing apparatus. That is, the ratio value of the downlink period and the ratio value of the uplink period determined by the signal processing apparatus are stored in the memory unit 311.

The memory unit 311 may include a dual ported random access memory (DPRAM) capable of simultaneously reading the stored data and storing the data. The use of dual ported random access memory (DPRAM) increases the throughput of TDD signaling.

The memory controller 312 reads the ratio value of the downlink section and the ratio value of the uplink section stored in the memory unit 311 at a necessary time, and counts the ratio value of the read downlink section and the ratio value of the uplink section. Forward to 320.

The counting unit 320 receives the ratio value of the downlink period and the ratio value of the uplink period which the memory controller 312 reads from the memory unit 311, and counts the ratio value. Here, the counting unit 320 may be configured using a subtractor, or may be configured using an adder.

In addition, the ratio value of the downlink period is divided into two variables (the first reference value and the second reference value), the ratio value of the uplink period is set to another variable (the third reference value), and the counting unit 320 ) May include a first counter 321, a second counter 322, and a third counter 323.

In this case, the memory controller 312 reads the first reference value from the memory unit 311 and transmits the first reference value to the first counter 321, while the first counter 321 counts the first reference value, while the first reference value is counted. The TDD signal generator 313 generates a signal of the downlink period.

After the first counter 321 completes counting the first reference value, the memory controller 312 reads the second reference value from the memory 311 and transmits the second reference value to the second counter 322. The second reference value indicating the remaining portion of the ratio value of the downlink period is counted, and while the second reference value is counted, the TDD signal generator 313 generates a signal of the downlink period.

Similarly, after the second counter 322 completes counting the second reference value, the memory controller 312 reads the third reference value from the memory 311 and transmits the third reference value to the third counter 323, and then the third counter 323. The third reference value which is a ratio value of the uplink period is counted, and the TDD signal generator 313 generates a signal of the uplink period while the third reference value is counted.

The TDD signal generator 313 generates a TDD signal while the counter 320 counts the ratio value of the downlink period and the ratio value of the uplink period. Accordingly, the TDD signal generator 313 generates a TDD signal having a downlink section and an uplink section according to the ratio of the downlink section and the uplink section determined by the external signal processing apparatus.

The TDD signal generator 310 shown in FIG. 3 may be implemented using a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

According to the present invention, the subject that generates the TDD signal is not a signal processing device as in the conventional method. The external signal processing apparatus receives the TDD signal generated by the TDD signal generator 310 and processes the data through it, thereby reducing the dependency of the signal processor and sharing the work of the signal processor in the TDD signal generator 310 instead. The load factor of the signal processing device can be lowered accordingly. In addition, since the external signal processing device can control the ratio of the downlink section and the uplink section, it is possible to easily generate accurate TDD signal for the service provider's request without the cumbersome replacement of the clock board or changing the setting value. .

4 is a diagram illustrating a frame timer system 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The frame timer system 400 includes a signal processor 410 and a TDD signal generator 310, which are main processors.

The signal processing unit 410, which is a main processing unit, includes an external memory interface (EMI) 411, a frame synchronization unit 412, a symbol timing synchronization unit 413, and a general purpose input output GPIO. ).

The EMIF 411 is connected to the memory unit 311 included in the TDD signal generator 310, and stores data in the memory unit 311 or reads the stored data and transfers the stored data to the frame synchronizer 412. Herein, the data refers to a ratio value of the downlink period and the uplink period constituting the TDD signal. The TDD signal generator 310 generates a TDD signal according to the ratio of the input downlink period and the uplink period.

The frame synchronizer 412 performs a frame synchronization process. This is a rough estimation of the beginning of a frame in a signal received distorted in a wireless channel.

The symbol timing synchronizer 413 performs a symbol timing offset estimation process. This means estimating the symbol timing offset by finding the starting point of the symbol included in the received signal.

As a result, the role of the frame synchronizer 412 and the symbol timing synchronizer 413 is to time synchronize.

The GPIO 414 is included in the signal processor 410 and receives the TDD signal so that the TDD signal generated by the TDD signal generator 313 included in the TDD signal generator 310 is transmitted to the signal processor. Play a role.

Since the TDD signal generation device 310 has been described with reference to FIG. 3, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The frame timer system 400 generates a TDD signal, improves the accuracy of the ratio of the downlink period and the uplink period constituting the generated TDD signal, and sets the ratio of the downlink period and the uplink period in the signal processing apparatus 410. Control from In addition, unlike the conventional method, since the load ratio of the signal processing device 410 is lowered, stable operation of the entire system becomes possible.

Downlink  Segment and Uplink  Rate control method of section

5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a ratio of a downlink period and an uplink period of a TDD signal using a frame timer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the signal processing apparatus 410 divides the ratio of the downlink interval into the first reference value and the second reference value, and sets the ratio of the uplink interval into the third reference value and stores the ratio in the memory unit 311 (S500).

Thereafter, the second reference value is read and the read second reference value is transmitted to the counting unit 320 (S504).

Thereafter, the counting unit 320 counts the received second reference value and generates a downlink signal while counting (S505).

Thereafter, it is determined whether the count of the second reference value is completed, and then the process moves to the next step after completion (S506).

Thereafter, the third reference value is read and the read third reference value is transferred to the counting unit 320 (S507).

Thereafter, the counting unit counts the received third reference value, and generates an uplink signal while counting (S508).

Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the count of the third reference value is completed, and the process moves to step S500 after completion (S509).

Initial synchronization of frame timer system

6 is a diagram illustrating an initial synchronization operation of a frame timer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the initial synchronization operation, data is received for more than one frame (5ms, 601). The initial synchronization operation aims to find the starting point of the downlink signal 631 through the signal processing apparatus.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, the ratio value 610 of the downlink interval is divided by the first reference value (x, 611) and the second reference value (y, 612), and the first reference value (x, 611) is 30000. The second reference value (y, 612) is set to 65000, the ratio value 620 of the uplink interval is set to the third reference value (z, 621) to 5000, so that about 10 ms, that is, two frames during the data reception interval. The actually received section receives data for 95000 (x + y), which is the sum of the first reference value 611 and the second reference value 612, which are ratio values of the downlink interval. The initial ratio values 611, 612, and 621 may be arbitrarily set if the sum (x + y + z) of the initial ratio values 611, 612, and 621 is greater than or equal to one frame 601. Not desirable for efficiency

When an initial synchronization operation detects that the downlink signal 631 is positioned in the 95000 (x + y) section, which is the sum of the first reference value 611 and the second reference value 612, the ratio value 610 of the downlink section. At this point, we move on to tracking synchronization.

Tracking synchronization of frame timer system

7 illustrates a tracking synchronization operation of a frame timer system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The initial synchronization operation is performed only once after booting the wireless communication system, and then the tracking synchronization operation is performed every frame.

Through the timing synchronization operation, a timing offset 730 that is timing synchronization information is obtained. The timing offset 730 is obtained by subtracting the symbol timing synchronization result from the frame synchronization result.

The timing offset 730 is added to the second reference values (y, 712) of the ratio values of the downlink intervals in the current frame to become the new second reference value 712a of the next frame, thereby timing uplink signal 632. Adjust. That is, since one frame 601 is 5ms, the TDD signal has a first reference value 711a, a second reference value 712a, which is a ratio value of the downlink period of the next frame, and a third reference value 721a, which is a ratio value of the uplink period. ) Should be 5 ms, so that the timing offset 730 is subtracted from the third reference value 721 which is the ratio value of the uplink period of the current frame, and set as the third reference value 721 of the next frame. This process is repeated every frame to perform tracking synchronization.

In the tracking synchronization process, a predetermined sample time 701 is provided before the downlink signal 631. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the sample free time 701 is set to 200. This value can be set arbitrarily.

The data received on the downlink is needed to calculate the timing offset 730. Thus, the ratio value of the downlink interval is divided by the first reference value (x) and the second reference value (y), the first reference value (x) is fixed to a constant value, and the second reference value (y) for tracking synchronization of the next frame. It is effective to add a timing offset 730 to the. However, even if the tracking synchronization operation is performed by adding the timing offset 730 to the first reference value x, the effect of the present invention does not change.

As described above, those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features.
