BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein but may be embodied in other forms. Rather, the embodiments disclosed herein are provided so that the disclosure can be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. In this specification, when an element is referred to as being on another element, it means that it can be formed directly on the other element, or a third element may be placed therebetween.

The transmission channel synchronization method according to the present invention finds a J (J) shape in a signal received from a transmission channel. Hereinafter, various embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view for explaining a method of estimating a training thermal synchronization position according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method for estimating a training thermal synchronization position according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes receiving a communication signal-training sequence (S100). In step S100, A step S300 of finding a position having a J-shape from the correlation result of step S200, and a step S400 of estimating a synchronization position of the training sequence from the correlation result of step S200 .

The step of performing the correlation operation (S200) may be a step of performing a correlation operation with the communication signal received in the step S100 and the training sequence of the same kind as that included in the communication signal. For example, when the communication signal is a sound wave whose frequency is temporally changed, step (S200) of performing the correlation operation may be to perform the correlation operation using the concatenation signals exemplarily shown in Fig. 19 have.

The step (S300) of finding the position having the J shape is a step of finding the J shape from the correlation result which is the result of performing the step S200. In the present specification, the term " correlation result " is used to mean not only a direct result of performing step S200, but also a result of performing additional processing on a direct result of step S200. Here, " additional processing " may mean, for example, an operation of detecting an envelope. That is, the step S300 may be a step of finding the position of the J shape from the result of performing the correlation or the result of performing the correlation.

The step of estimating the synchronization position of the training sequence (S400) is a step of estimating the shape of the J (J) found in the step S300 as the synchronization position of the training sequence. Specifically, the position of the peak included in the J shape can be estimated as the synchronization position of the training sequence.

As described above, in the embodiment described with reference to FIG. 1, the description has been made to include the step S200 (the step of performing the correlation operation). However, as an option, the training thermal synchronization position estimation method according to another embodiment of the present invention includes: And performing steps S300 and S400 without performing step S200.

6 is a view for explaining a shape of a jaw J according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the envelope of the correlation result of the training sequence is shown, and it can be seen that there is a J shape based on the position at which the peak exists. It can be seen that there are substantially no signals in the left-temporal peak portion with respect to the position where the peak exists, and there are many signals in the right-temporal peak portion after the position with the peak.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the J shape includes a peak, and the left side of the peak and the right side of the peak are asymmetric with respect to each other. The graph of FIG. 6 shows the envelope of the correlation result of the sound waves, and it is determined that there are many signals on the right side based on the peaks because the sound waves have a large delay spread in comparison with the electromagnetic waves.

The J shape to be found in step S300 includes a peak having a reference value - a first reference value - or more, and may correspond to at least one of the following cases.

- if both sides are asymmetrical with respect to the peak

- When there is substantially no signal on the left side and a plurality of signals on the right side based on the peak

When there is substantially no signal at a portion spaced a predetermined time to the left with respect to a peak and a plurality of signals are present at the right portion

A plurality of signals within a predetermined time on the right side of the peak are larger than a second reference value and a plurality of signals within a predetermined time on the left side are smaller than a third reference value

A step S300 of finding a position having a J shape is a step of finding a part having at least one of the characteristics as described above in the correlation performed in the step S200.

With continued reference to FIG. 6, there are few signals on the left side, in particular on the peaks (for the purposes of the present invention, the positions with peaks on the time axis are denoted by " 0 & It can be seen that there is substantially no signal at a portion spaced apart by a predetermined time. It can be seen that there are a plurality of signals on the right side based on the position of the peak.

7 is another view for explaining a shape of a jaw J according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 7 exemplarily shows the result of the step S200 (only the envelope is shown), and correlation characteristics for the training sequence and the noise can be known. That is, the correlation portion with respect to the training sequence has a J (J) shape, but the correlation portion with respect to noise has no J (J) shape. The inventor of the present invention paid attention to this fact and tried to estimate the portion where the J shape appears in the correlation result as the portion where the training train exists, and in fact, a reliable result was obtained.

FIG. 2 is a view for explaining a method of finding a position having a J shape according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a method of finding a position having a J shape according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a position-peak position that is equal to or greater than a first reference value in a result of performing step S200 (correlation result) (S301), calculating (S303) an asymmetric ratio for each of the peaks found in step S301, and calculating a peak position having the largest asymmetry ratio calculated in step S303 as a position having a J shape (Step S305).

In this embodiment, the step S303 of calculating the asymmetry ratio is performed by calculating the average value of the values within a predetermined time based on the peak position-the peak surrounding average value-and calculating the values of the values Average value - peak left position average value ") is calculated, and the following Equation (1)

Asymmetry ratio = (peak mean value) / (peak left mean value)

. ≪ / RTI >

The asymmetry ratio is a parameter indicating the degree of asymmetry with respect to the peak. The above Equation (1) is an example, and the parameter indicating the degree of asymmetry may be calculated by another equation.

FIGS. 8 and 9 are views for explaining asymmetric ratios according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 8A is for explaining an asymmetric ratio of a portion including a training sequence, FIG. (B) is to explain the asymmetric ratio of the portion including the noise.

Referring to FIG. 8 (a), the reference value-reference value can be determined by a person engaged in the technical field to which the present invention belongs-within a predetermined time (Δt1) based on the ideal peak P1, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > That is, the average value around the peak P1 is obtained. Then, an average value of values belonging to a predetermined time (? T3) from a position separated from the peak P1 by a predetermined time (? T2) in the leftward direction is calculated. That is, the average value of the left position of the peak P1 is calculated. With respect to these average values, the asymmetry ratio can be calculated using Equation (1).

Referring to FIG. 8B, an average value of values belonging to a predetermined time Δt1 is calculated on the basis of a peak P2 that is equal to or greater than a reference value in the same manner as FIG. 8B. That is, the average value around the peak P2 is obtained. Then, an average value of values belonging to a predetermined time? T3 from a position separated from the peak P2 by a predetermined time? T2 in the leftward direction is calculated. That is, the average value of the left position of the peak P2 is obtained. With respect to these average values, the asymmetry ratio can be calculated using Equation (1).

9 shows an asymmetric ratio calculated for peaks having a reference value or more in the same or similar manner as that described with reference to Figs. 8 (a) and 8 (b).

Referring to FIG. 9, the largest value among the asymmetric ratios calculated for the respective peaks is 6. 57, and the asymmetric ratios for the remaining peaks are 2.0 or less. In this case, the step (S300) of finding a position having a J shape according to an embodiment of the present invention determines that a portion having an asymmetric ratio of 6,57 is a J shape. Since the asymmetry ratio of the training column portion and the noise portion is more than three times, even if the asymmetry ratio of 6,57 is determined as the training column synchronization position, a reliable result can be obtained have.

FIGS. 10 to 12 are views for explaining an asymmetric ratio according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Hereinafter, a method of obtaining the correlation result (only the envelope is shown) as shown in FIG. 10 as a result of performing the step S200 will be described, and a method of obtaining the asymmetric ratio will be described.

Referring to FIG. 10, there are P1, P2, and P3 peaks having a first reference value or more, and a process of calculating an asymmetry ratio with respect to the peak P1 will be described first.

The peak surrounding average value for the peak P1 is calculated by averaging over the values contained in the window W1 defined such that the peak P1 is at the center and the peak left position average value for the peak P1 is calculated as the peak value (I.e., the values included in the window W2) from the position at a predetermined time (t2) from the position P1 at a predetermined time (t3). Thereafter, the asymmetric ratio can be calculated by applying Equation (1) exemplarily described.

Referring to FIG. 11, a process for calculating the asymmetry ratio with respect to the peak P2 will be described.

The peak surrounding average value for the peak P2 is calculated by averaging the values contained in the window W1 defined such that the peak P2 is at the center and the peak left position average value for the peak P2 is calculated by the average value (I.e., the values included in the window W2) from the position at the predetermined time interval? T2 from the position P2 at the predetermined time interval? T3. Thereafter, the asymmetric ratio can be calculated by applying Equation (1) exemplarily described.

Referring to FIG. 12, a process for calculating the asymmetric ratio with respect to the peak P3 will be described.

The peak surrounding average value for the peak P3 is calculated by averaging the values contained in the window W1 defined such that the peak P3 is at the center and the peak left position average value for the peak P3 is calculated as the peak (I.e., the values included in the window W2) from the position at the predetermined time? T2 from the position P3 at the predetermined time? T3. Thereafter, the asymmetric ratio can be calculated by applying Equation (1) exemplarily described.

When the asymmetric ratios are calculated for the peaks having the reference value or more in the above manner, the portion having the largest asymmetric ratio will be determined as the portion having the J shape defined in the present invention.

As described above, the sizes of the predetermined times (? T1,? T2,? T3) and the windows (W1, W2), which have been described with reference to Figs. 10 to 12, are exemplary and can be suitably changed by those skilled in the art . Here, it is also possible to set Δt2 time to zero (O).

Referring to FIG. 13, the result of step S200 is illustrated as an example, and a first reference value, a second reference value, and a third reference value are set. In step S304, it is determined whether there is a portion having a value higher than the second reference value on the right side based on the peak, and whether there is a portion having a value lower than the third reference value on the left side based on the peak. The example shown in Fig. 13 will be judged as J (J) because it satisfies the above condition.

On the other hand, when comparing the values of the left part with the third reference value on the basis of the peak, the values of the part within the predetermined time (? T3) with the peak are compared with the third reference value. Also, when comparing the values of the right portion with the second reference value with respect to the peak, the values of the portion within the predetermined time (? T4) with the peak are compared with the second reference value.
