Description
本發明係關於一種無線通信技術,特別是指一種用於正交分頻多工系統之反向通道式盲通道估測方法。 The present invention relates to a wireless communication technology, and more particularly to a reverse channel type blind channel estimation method for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system.
盲通道估測(blind channel estimation)方法已被廣泛地用於具有循環字首之正交分頻多工(Cyclically Prefixed Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing,CP-OFDM)系統之區塊傳輸上,因其能提供可容忍之估測效能(estimation performance),且無須在特定之時間區間(time interval)內插入領航符元(pilot symbols)或訓練符元(training symbols)至子載波(subcarrier)中,故可節省頻寬(bandwidth)以提升頻寬之效率(efficiency)。 The blind channel estimation method has been widely used for block transmission of Cyclically Prefixed Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (CP-OFDM) systems with cyclic prefixes. Provides tolerable estimation performance without inserting pilot symbols or training symbols into subcarriers within a specific time interval. Save bandwidth to increase bandwidth efficiency.
子空間式盲通道估測(Subspace-based Blind Channel Estimation,SBCE)方法為習知之技術,其在傳送訊號上不會產生例如有限字元(finite alphabet)或高斯白假設(white Gaussian assumption)技術之額外限制。但是,子空間式盲通道估測方法用於具有虛擬子載波(virtual subcarrier,VC)之正交分頻多工系統(OFDM)時,正交分頻多工系統需利用 虛擬子載波(VC)與循環字首(Cyclic Prefix,CP)間之冗餘性(redundancy),並要求大量的接收區塊才能做出精確的盲通道估測。 The Subspace-based Blind Channel Estimation (SBCE) method is a well-known technique that does not generate, for example, a finite alphabet or a white Gaussian assumption technique on a transmitted signal. Additional restrictions. However, when the subspace blind channel estimation method is used in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system (OFDM) with a virtual subcarrier (VC), the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system needs to be utilized. Redundancy between the virtual subcarrier (VC) and the Cyclic Prefix (CP), and requires a large number of receiving blocks to make accurate blind channel estimation.
關於另一種習知之重覆式盲通道估測(Repetition-based Blind Channel Estimation,RPBCE)方法,其係藉由重覆操作於每一接收區塊中以形成一秩缺矩陣(rank deficiency matrix)並從中萃取出通道資訊,藉此使子空間式盲通道估測(SBCE)之接收區塊之數量能大量地被減少,但重覆式盲通道估測(RPBCE)方法之運算複雜度(computational complexity)很高,尤其是在大量的重覆操作次數時。 Another conventional Repetition-based Blind Channel Estimation (RPBCE) method is implemented by repeatedly operating in each receiving block to form a rank deficiency matrix and The channel information is extracted therefrom, so that the number of receiving blocks of the subspace blind channel estimation (SBCE) can be greatly reduced, but the computational complexity of the repeated blind channel estimation (RPBCE) method (computational complexity) ) is very high, especially when there are a large number of repeated operations.
為了降低實施複雜度(implementation complexity),本領域之人士曾提出一種再調變式盲通道估測(Remodulation-based Blind Channel Estimation,RMBCE)方法,係利用一具有兩連續區塊(consecutive blocks)與介於兩連續區塊間之循環字首之複合區塊(composite block),藉以產生少於重覆式盲通道估測(RPBCE)方法之運算複雜度。雖然再調變式盲通道估測(RMBCE)方法之操作類似於重覆式盲通道估測(RPBCE)方法,但其在接收區塊之數量受限制時,例如接收區塊之數量不大於正交分頻多工系統之子載波數量,則無法執行通道估測。 In order to reduce the implementation complexity, a person in the art has proposed a Remodulation-based Blind Channel Estimation (RMBCE) method, which utilizes two consecutive blocks (consecutive blocks) and A composite block of cyclic prefixes between two consecutive blocks to produce less computational complexity than the Repetitive Blind Channel Estimation (RPBCE) method. Although the operation of the Modulated Blind Channel Estimation (RMBCE) method is similar to the Repetitive Blind Channel Estimation (RPBCE) method, when the number of receiving blocks is limited, for example, the number of receiving blocks is not greater than Channel estimation cannot be performed for the number of subcarriers in the crossover multiplex system.
為了放寬限制,本領域之人士另提出一種重覆與再調變式盲通道估測(Repetition and Remodulation-based Blind Channel Estimation,RRBCE)方法,係依據重覆式盲通道估 測(RPBCE)方法重覆地處理每一複合區塊,並改良接收區塊之數量受限時之估測效能。 In order to relax the restrictions, people in the field have proposed a Repetition and Remodulation-based Blind Channel Estimation (RRBCE) method based on repeated blind channel estimation. The RPBCE method repeatedly processes each composite block and improves the estimated performance when the number of received blocks is limited.
上述習知技術之方法皆設計於一機制下,亦即藉由處理大量的接收訊號以估測對應到接收訊號之向量子空間之預定零核子空間,並利用通道脈衝響應(Channel Impulse Response,CIR)之向量係正交於零核子空間之特性,使通道脈衝響應在投射(projecting)接收訊號之向量至估測之零核子空間後可自接收訊號中分離,且藉由最小化該接收訊號之向量所建立的二次成本函數(quadratic cost function)予以識別。但是,被估測之零核子空間會受到雜訊(noise)與訊號衰減(fading)之估測誤差(estimation error)所影響,並導致通道估測之效能明顯下降,尤其是在接收區塊之數量與訊號雜訊比(Signal-to-Noise Radio,SNR)不大時。 The above methods of the prior art are all designed under a mechanism, that is, by processing a large number of received signals to estimate a predetermined zero-nuclear subspace corresponding to a vector subspace of a received signal, and using a channel impulse response (CIR) The vector is orthogonal to the zero-nuclear subspace, such that the channel impulse response can be separated from the received signal after projecting the vector of received signals into the estimated zero-nuclear subspace, and by minimizing the received signal The quadratic cost function established by the vector is identified. However, the estimated zero-nuclear subspace is affected by the noise of the noise and fading, and the efficiency of the channel estimation is significantly reduced, especially in the receiving block. When the number of Signal-to-Noise Radio (SNR) is small.
因此,如何克服上述習知技術的問題,實已成為目前亟欲解決的課題。 Therefore, how to overcome the problems of the above-mentioned prior art has become a problem that is currently being solved.

其中,c為向量,†為共軛轉置,W為第二矩陣。 Where c is a vector, † is a conjugate transpose, and W is a second matrix.

由上可知,本發明之反向通道式盲通道估測方法,主要係產生一具有對稱性循環字首之傳送訊號,並自傳送訊號中解析出預定零核子空間及基底向量,且依據基底向量依序計算出第一矩陣、第二矩陣、非負限定矩陣及特徵向量,再計算出通道增益之資訊。 It can be seen from the above that the reverse channel blind channel estimation method of the present invention mainly generates a transmission signal having a symmetric cyclic prefix, and parses out a predetermined zero-nuclear subspace and a base vector from the transmitted signal, and according to the base vector.

在本發明之反向通道式盲通道估測方法(ICBCE)中,係藉由操作對應於傳送訊號之預定零核子空間(null subspace)以萃取出反向通道資訊(inverse channel information),茲針對預定零核子空間與時域迫零等化器(TZE)敘述如下。 In the reverse channel blind channel estimation method (ICBCE) of the present invention, the inverse channel information is extracted by operating a predetermined zero subspace corresponding to the transmitted signal. The predetermined zero-nuclear subspace and time-domain zero-forcing equalizer (TZE) are described below.
(一)預定零核子空間:傳送訊號為 ,當n Z Ng 時,因傳送訊號s n (l)等於傳送訊號s N+n (l),使得s n (l)-s N+n (l)=0,故傳送訊號s(l)會具有N g 個冗餘符元(redundant symbols),並使得傳送訊號s(l)中存在一個N g 維度之預定零核子空間。因此,本發明於傳送訊號s(l)中定義一個(N+N g )xN g 維度之第一矩陣U,且第一矩陣U包括預定零核子空間所對應之N g 個基底向量,使所有的傳送訊號s(l)滿足U t U=I Ng 且U t s(l)=0 Ng ,如下列公式(2)所示:
其中,第一矩陣U係為獨立之資料符元,且其行向量可對傳送訊號s(l)展開(span)預定零核子空間,第一矩陣U亦可被接收端16所使用以形成一個萃取子空間(extraction subspace)。 The first matrix U is an independent data symbol, and the row vector can span a predetermined zero-core subspace for the transmission signal s (1) , and the first matrix U can also be used by the receiving end 16 to form a Extraction subspace.
(二)時域迫零等化器(TZE):其可補償通道脈衝響應(CIR)並包含反向通道資訊,時域迫零等化器具有一無限脈
衝響應(infinite impulse response),且無限脈衝響應可藉由K維度之有限脈衝響應(Finite Impulse Response,FIR)之向量近似之,其中,K設定為K>>V,時域迫零等化器可使具有通道脈衝響應(CIR)之通道增益 與向量c之褶積(convolve)在平方距離時接近於單位向量b,如下列公式(3)所示:
其中,於數值時,單位向量
另外,在本發明之反向通道式盲通道估測方法(ICBCE)中,依據上述公式(3)與任意之通道增益h,向量c之最小均方(least-square,LS)解可如下列公式(4)所示:
同樣地,通道增益h亦可自最小均方解之向量c中計算出,如下列公式(5)所示:
依據上述公式(4)之最小均方解之向量c,在T K (v)(h)c與單位向量b之誤差向量可以下列公式(6)代入及特徵化:
其中,向量c與通道增益h係藉由下列公式(7)相關聯:
其中,m Z K+V-1,h v =0,v Zv。 Where m Z K + V -1 ,h v =0, v Z v .
如上述公式(1)所示,傳送訊號s n (l)與通道增益h v 互相褶積(convolve),故當傳送訊號s n (l)為未知時,對通道增益h之估測會受到傳送訊號s n (l)之干擾。因此,本發明改以預定零核子空間估測截斷反向(truncated inverse)之通道增益h(如向量c滿足公式(7)),並自公式(5)中依據向量c之估測間接地取得通道增益h之估測。為了估測向量c且不受傳送訊號s n (l)之影響,本發明自公式(1)中將接收訊號r n (l)轉換成下列公式(8):
其中,當,且時,
上述公式(8)亦可以向量形式表示成下列公式(9):
其中,當,且時, ,,,
傳送訊號s n (l)對接收端16而言係為未知的,且其可透過指數1及指數n加以變化,當接收端16自接收訊號r(l)中直接估測通道增益h時,傳送訊號s n (l)之變異值(variation)會干擾通道增益h之估測,並顯著地降低通道增益h之估測效能(estimation performance)。 The transmit signal s n (l) is unknown to the receiving end 16 and can be varied by exponent 1 and exponent n . When the receiving end 16 directly estimates the channel gain h from the received signal r (l) , The variation of the transmitted signal s n (l) interferes with the estimation of the channel gain h and significantly reduces the estimation performance of the channel gain h.
為了抑制被操作於預定零核子空間之訊號干擾,本發
明堆疊N+N g 個傳送訊號及
,並將上述公式(9)重新寫成如下列公
式(10):
其中,當時,接收訊號如下:
在上述公式(10)中,左右兩邊各乘以第一矩陣U之轉置U t 且使用U t s (l)=0 Ng ,藉此移除傳送訊號s n (l)而不會干擾通道增益h之估測,並獲得下列公式(11):
其中,當lZ Nb +時,係為自時域迫零等化 器(TZE)取得之近似值,故在公式(11)中,無法藉 由增加訊號雜訊比γb而移除,但可藉由將數值K 設定為遠大於通道脈衝響應(CIR)之長度V而降低。 Among them, when l When Z Nb + , Is an approximate value obtained from the time domain zero-forcing equalizer (TZE), so in equation (11), Cannot be removed by increasing the signal noise ratio γ b , but This can be reduced by setting the value K to be much greater than the length V of the channel impulse response (CIR).
另外,向量c對於lZ Nb +而言是靜態的,故R(l)、R(2)、…、R(Nb)可被結合以改善向量c之估測。因此,上述公式(11)於1Z Nb +可被結合,且其結果於維度K遠大於
通道脈衝響應(CIR)之長度V時,Wc Zc(W乘以c近似於Z
乘以c),與
為二個N b N g
x K矩陣,依據第一矩陣U與接收端之接收訊號R可計算出第二矩陣W,第二矩陣W可於接收端觀察到,雜訊Z包括所有的雜訊樣本,所以Zc(雜訊Z乘以向量c)表示來自於雜訊與通道之共同干擾。考慮到第二矩陣W,通道之特徵向量藉由最小化均方干擾∥Zc∥2計算出,如下列公式(12)所示:
基於公式(12)之K維度均方解,當N b N g ≧K時,通道之特徵向量可藉由特徵值分解(EigenValue Decomposition,EVD)計算出。由於非負限定(nonnegative definite)矩陣等於第二矩陣之轉置乘以第二矩陣(W†W),可將非負限定矩陣(W†W)進行特徵值分解以產生特徵向量,亦即=eig(W†W),其中eig(X)表示為對應於最小特徵值X之特徵向量(eigenvector)。依據公式(5)與特徵向量,將c k 替換成且h v 替換成,即可計算出通道脈衝響應(CIR)之估測 值,估測值即為通道增益h之 資訊。藉由上述方法,即可獲得本發明之反向通道式盲通 道估測(ICBCE)方法。 Based on the K-dimensional mean square solution of equation (12), when N b N g ≧ K , the eigenvector of the channel It can be calculated by EigenValue Decomposition (EVD). Since the nonnegative definite matrix is equal to the transpose of the second matrix multiplied by the second matrix ( W † W ), the non-negative qualified matrix ( W † W ) can be eigenvalue-decomposed to generate a eigenvector ,that is =eig( W † W ), where eig(X) is represented as an eigenvector corresponding to the minimum eigenvalue X. According to formula (5) and eigenvector , replace c k with And h v is replaced by , the estimated value of the channel impulse response (CIR) can be calculated Estimated value This is the information of the channel gain h. By the above method, the reverse channel blind channel estimation (ICBCE) method of the present invention can be obtained.
