Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting discovery signals, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus capable of discovering a plurality of neighboring devices without infrastructure.
The conventional technology for checking the existence of the existence between wireless devices has been representatively applied to Bluetooth. In the case of Bluetooth, the manufacturer and serial number of the device are encoded, and the access code is used as a preamble to recognize each other's devices. This method cannot express all the MAC-IDs of the host, and also has the disadvantage that the device has a rather complicated hardware characteristic (frequency hopping spread spectrum modulation method) dedicated to Bluetooth.
In order to demodulate this type of code, a relationship called master / slave must be established, and the receiving end needs to analyze and search the code to find the code. Because the master / slave relationship is the default setting, the network is also limitedly supported, and there are limitations in the way the device is represented and the complexity of the transmission and reception process. In addition, because it is suitable for ultra short-range communication, there was a limit that is not suitable for long-distance data communication.
Qualcomm recently announced the FlashlinQ specification for adjacent communications. The FlashLink specification also proposes a communication scheme for identifying adjacent devices. Unlike Bluetooth, FlashLink is designed to identify a device with its own hardware (H / W) address, MAC address and service ID, without using a special manufacturer and serial number to generate a code. The distance is about 1km. However, in order not to overlap the transmission signals between devices, a global synchronization reference signal is required, which requires an infrastructure such as a mobile communication base station or a GPS. Bluetooth, on the other hand, does not require a separate infrastructure.
As such, although Bluetooth can synchronize neighboring devices without infrastructure, it is impossible to find a plurality of neighboring devices due to communication distance and specification problems. Flashlinks, on the other hand, can find many adjacent devices, but they rely heavily on the infrastructure needed to synchronize devices.
An object of the present invention is to provide a discovery signal transmission method and apparatus capable of discovering a plurality of adjacent devices without an infrastructure.
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for a device to transmit a discovery signal. The method for transmitting a discovery signal includes generating a discovery signal including identification information of the device, and transmitting the discovery signal in an empty discovery slot of a plurality of discovery slots in a discovery interval, wherein the discovery signal is 2 Includes OFDM symbols, one OFDM symbol of the two OFDM symbols includes at least one tone, and indicates identification information of the device at a subcarrier position corresponding to the at least one tone.
The other OFDM symbol of the two OFDM symbols may include a preamble.
The preamble may include a plurality of golay sequences.
The golay sequence may have a length of 128.
The transmitting may include differentially modulating the at least one tone.
The discovery signal transmission method may further include discovering a neighboring device from a discovery signal received in a discovery slot other than the empty discovery slot among the plurality of discovery slots.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for transmitting a discovery signal of a device is provided. The discovery signal transmission apparatus includes a signal generator and a signal transmitter. The signal generator generates a discovery signal including identification information of the device. The signal transmitter detects an empty discovery slot among a plurality of discovery slots in a discovery interval and transmits the discovery signal in the empty discovery slot. The discovery signal includes two OFDM symbols, one OFDM symbol of the two OFDM symbols includes at least one Golay sequence used as a preamble, and the other OFDM symbol indicates identification information of the device. It may include.
The signal generator may display identification information of the device from a location of a data subcarrier including a plurality of tones among a plurality of data subcarriers of the other OFDM symbol.
Two tones constitute one tone pair, and the signal transmitter may differentially modulate at least one tone pair.
Among the plurality of data subcarriers, the data subcarrier that does not include the plurality of tones may be a null subcarrier file.
The discovery signal transmission device may further include a signal receiver. The signal receiver discovers an adjacent device by listening to a discovery signal in at least one discovery slot of the plurality of discovery slots.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to find a plurality of adjacent devices efficiently without the infrastructure.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a discovery signal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, only a discovery signal corresponding to one discovery slot T1 is illustrated for convenience of description.
Referring to FIG. 3, one discovery signal includes two OFDM symbols. One OFDM symbol of the two OFDM symbols includes a preamble. The preamble includes a plurality of Golay sequences, for example, a plurality of Golay 128 sequences Ga128. The receiving end detects the discovery section using the preamble. In this case, the preamble may further include a Golay-128 sequence (-Ga128) to increase the detection probability of the discovery section of the receiver.
The Golay 128 sequence has a length of 128 and the Golay sequence is "-1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1,- 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1 , -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1, 1, 1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1,- 1, 1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, 1 , -1, -1, 1, 1, -1, -1, -1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, -1, 1 ". The Golay sequence is used for channel estimation, and using the Golay sequence has the advantage that the cross-correlator of the receiving end can be very simply implemented. For example, it is possible to design a cross correlator with a structure that requires only seven additions to obtain cross correlation of a Golay sequence having a length of 128.
The other OFDM symbol of the two OFDM symbols includes data. The data may include identification information of the device. For convenience of description, an OFDM symbol including data is called an OFDM data symbol.
An OFDM data symbol represents information in the position of a tone. The information may be identification information of the device. The OFDM data symbol includes a plurality of valid data subcarriers, and is a position of a data subcarrier including a tone among the plurality of valid data subcarriers, and may indicate the number of bits and information of bits, that is, identification information of a device. In this case, except for a data subcarrier containing a tone among the plurality of valid data subcarriers, the remaining data subcarriers are null subcarriers, and the tones have power enough to be distinguished from a null signal.
4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method of displaying information using OFDM data symbols according to an embodiment of the present invention.
For example, assume that an OFDM data symbol includes eight data subcarriers on the frequency axis as shown in FIG. 4. The eight data subcarriers S1 to S8 represent 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111, respectively, according to their positions. At this time, if a tone is included in the data subcarrier S4, the receiver can recognize 3 bits of
As such, the information may be represented by the position of one tone, but the information may be represented by the position of at least two tones.
5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating another example of a method for displaying information by using an OFDM data symbol according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, an OFDM data symbol may include 432 valid data subcarriers. Two data subcarriers consist of one subcarrier pair, two tones consist of one tone pair, and one pair of tones can fit into one subcarrier pair. In this case, information may be represented by a location of a data subcarrier including a tone pair. In the structure shown in FIG. 5, a total of 43 bits may be represented by one OFDM data symbol.
Specifically, 432 effective data subcarriers are divided into a plurality of regions, and the information is represented by the positions of the data subcarriers each containing a plurality of tone pairs in the plurality of regions. At this time, each region may indicate the position of the bit.
For example, 432 valid data subcarriers have 11 regions: 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, Assume that the data is divided into 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, and 64 data subcarriers.
The 64 data subcarriers can represent 32 positions, and thus the 64 data subcarriers can represent 5 bits of information. The 32 data subcarriers may represent 16 positions, and thus the 32 data subcarriers may represent 4 bits of information. The 16 data subcarriers may represent 8 positions, and thus 16 bits may represent 3 bits of information.
Therefore, 64 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 8 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, 8 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 8 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, and 16 data subcarriers corresponding to 11 regions. Data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, and 64 data subcarriers can represent 5 bits, 3 bits, 4 bits, 5 bits, 4 bits, 3 bits, 3 bits, 5 bits, 4 bits, 4 bits, and 5 bits, respectively. As a result, a total of 43 bits of information can be represented.
For example, "0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" may be represented by inserting 11 tone pairs into the first subcarrier pair of 11 regions as shown in FIG.
In this case, when 432 effective data subcarriers are divided into 11 areas, 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 64 have a predetermined pattern or periodicity. It may be divided into three data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, and 32 data subcarriers. However, by dividing the region with a constant pattern or periodicity, the PAPR increases when the signal in the frequency domain is converted into a signal in the time domain. Thus, 432 effective data subcarriers, for example, 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 64 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 16 data subcarriers without a constant pattern or periodicity. The PAPR can be reduced by dividing into 64 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, 32 data subcarriers, and 64 data subcarriers.
As such, since a total of 43 bits of identification information of a device can be represented by one OFDM data symbol using 11 tone pairs, the device can express all MAC addresses, and a plurality of devices can be represented without infrastructure from the frame structure of FIG. Multiple adjacent devices can be found from the discovery slots.
7 is a diagram illustrating another example of a method for displaying information by using an OFDM data symbol according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, for example, suppose that there are 16 data subcarriers S1 to S16 on the frequency axis, and two data subcarriers form one data subcarrier pair P1 to P8. The eight data subcarrier pairs P1 to P8 represent 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111, respectively, according to their positions. If a tone is included in the data subcarrier pair P4, the receiver can recognize 3 bits of
For example, in the case of Figure 5, by differentially modulating the 11 tone-pairs, the device can represent 11 more bits, which in turn can represent a total of 54 bits (43 bits + 11 bits) of information.
In addition, by using a differential modulation method, the reception performance can be improved at the receiving end, and two tones of the data subcarrier pair P4 can be demodulated with low complexity without a channel estimation process.
