Description
本發明係關於一種初始同步的方法與裝置,更進一步來說,本發明係關於一種估測時序誤差與頻率飄移的初始同步方法與裝置。 The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for initial synchronization, and more particularly to an initial synchronization method and apparatus for estimating timing error and frequency drift.
時序恢復和載波頻率飄移(Carrier Frequency Offset,CFO)的補償對於任何無線通信中的應用都被視為很重要的步驟。在各種無線通訊技術中,虛擬隨機(Pseudo-Noise,PN)序列通常被用來作為訓練前置訊號(training preamble),以達成時間同步的目的。雖然PN序列利用PN匹配濾波(matched filtering,MF)的優勢能夠達到很高的相關性,使得PN序列可以支援高解析度的時間同步,但是,他們卻很容易受到載波頻率飄移的破壞。原因主要在於,PN匹配濾波在相關期間內,接收訊號與本地PN序列之間的交互相關性被不可預 期的相位變化所破壞,同時還存在有不可忽略的載波頻率飄移。 Timing recovery and carrier frequency offset (CFO) compensation are considered important steps in any wireless communication application. Among various wireless communication technologies, a Pseudo-Noise (PN) sequence is usually used as a training preamble for time synchronization. Although the PN sequence can achieve high correlation by using the advantages of PN matched filtering (MF), the PN sequence can support high-resolution time synchronization, but they are easily damaged by carrier frequency drift. The main reason is that the correlation between the received signal and the local PN sequence is unpredictable during the correlation period of the PN matched filter. The phase change of the period is destroyed, and there is also a non-negligible carrier frequency drift.
在無線通訊中,載波頻率飄移的 發生主要是接收端的本地振盪器的不協調(mismatch)所造成,同時,傳送端與接收端之間的相對移動也導致了都卜勒擴散(Doppler spread),都卜勒擴散不可避免地由周圍的反射波所引起。甚至在高速移動環境中,載波頻率飄移仍然是比都卜勒頻域對接收端的效能影響更劇。 In wireless communication, the carrier frequency drifts The occurrence is mainly due to the mismatch of the local oscillator at the receiving end. At the same time, the relative movement between the transmitting end and the receiving end also causes a Doppler spread, which is inevitably surrounded by the surroundings. Caused by reflected waves. Even in high-speed mobile environments, carrier frequency drift is still more dramatic than the effect of the Doppler frequency domain on the receiver.
一個特殊的同步叢發,名為雙啁 啾訊號(dual-chirp signal),已經於地球同步軌道行動無線電行動通訊用衛星(Geostationary Earth Orbit(GEO)Mobile Radio(GMR)mobile-satellite)通訊中被討論,它的特性也已經在許多論文當中被研究。許多研究在無線正交分頻多工(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)通訊系統中,將啁啾訊號作為訓練序列來進行時序同步與載波頻率飄移的估測。Zadoff-Chu(ZC)也是屬於類啁啾(chirp-like)序列,已經在第三代合作夥伴計劃長程演進(Third-Generation Partnership Project(3GPP)Long-Term Evo-lution(LTE))中,被使用於隨機存取前導序列、用於胞元搜尋的主要同步序列以及用於通道估測的參考序列。同步機制的研究普遍都是透過自相關以及交互相關評估,來估測時間誤差與載波頻率飄移。然而,基於統計推導的精確分析卻一直被忽略,特別在於多路徑衰變通道。 a special synchronous burst called double tweezer The dual-chirp signal has been discussed in the Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) Mobile Radio (GMR) mobile-satellite communication, and its characteristics are already in many papers. Studied. Many studies have used the 啁啾 signal as a training sequence for the estimation of timing synchronization and carrier frequency drift in a wireless Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system. Zadoff-Chu (ZC) is also a chirp-like sequence that has been adopted in the Third-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long-Term Evo-lution (LTE). Used for random access preamble sequences, primary synchronization sequences for cell search, and reference sequences for channel estimation. The study of synchronization mechanisms generally estimates time error and carrier frequency drift through autocorrelation and cross-correlation assessment. However, accurate analysis based on statistical derivation has been ignored, especially in multipath decay channels.

接下來,請繼續參考第9圖,上支時間合成訊號y u 將輸入至一上支時間決策單元460。下支時間合成訊號y d 將輸入至一下支時間決策單元465。上述y u 與y d 是由接收緩衝器420中取出超取樣訊號r os [n],r os [n+M T ],...,r os [n+(D-1)M T ]運算後所獲得。然而,在本實施例中,在每個預設時間,接收緩衝器420內所儲存的超取樣訊號將會被更新,例如接收緩衝器420內的第M個儲存單元以第M-1個儲存單元之資料置換,最後一個儲存單元將會儲存一新接收的超取樣訊號,而原本更新前第1個儲存單元所儲存於的超取樣訊號將會被丟棄。 Next, please continue to refer to FIG. 9, the upper time synthesis signal y u will be input to an upper time decision unit 460. The lower time synthesis signal y d will be input to the next branch time decision unit 465. The above y u and y d are obtained by receiving the oversampled signal r os [ n ], r os [ n + M T ], ..., r os [ n + ( D -1) M T ] from the receiving buffer 420. Obtained later. However, in this embodiment, the supersampling signal stored in the receive buffer 420 will be updated at each preset time, for example, the Mth storage unit in the receive buffer 420 is stored in the M -1th. The data of the unit is replaced. The last storage unit will store a newly received oversampled signal, and the oversampled signal stored in the first storage unit before the original update will be discarded.
因此,本實施例在下一個預設時間,接收緩衝器420被更新之後,每個上支匹配濾波運算單元440-1~440-D與每個下支匹配濾波運算單元445-1~445-D所接收的訊號為r os [n+1],r os [n+1+M T ],...,r os [n+1+(D-1)M T ],並產生一新的上支濾波訊號y 0;u , y 1;u ,...,y D-1;u 與新的下支濾波訊號y 0;d ,y 1;d ,...,y D-1;d 。而上支時間最大比率合成單元450將產生一個新的上支時間合成訊號y u ,下支時間最大比率合成單元455將產生一個新的下支時間合成訊號y d 。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, after the receive buffer 420 is updated at the next preset time, each of the upper branch matching filter operation units 440-1~440- D and each of the lower branch matching filter operation units 445-1~445- D The received signal is r os [ n +1], r os [ n +1+ M T ],..., r os [ n +1+( D -1) M T ], and a new one is generated.

The upper branch time maximum ratio synthesizing unit 450 will generate a new up-time synthesis signal y u , and the lower-branch time maximum ratio synthesizing unit 455 will generate a new lower-branch synthesis signal y d .
以此類推,在經歷多個預設時間之後,上支時間決策單元460將會收集不同時間索引的上支時間合成訊號y u ,下支時間決策單元465也將收集不同時間索引的下支時間合成訊號y d 。而上支時間決策單元460將在多個上支時間合成訊號y u 中找出一最大的上支時間合成訊號,並取出其對應的時間索引,作為一上支時序誤差估測值,表示為。同樣地,下支時間決策單元465將在多個下支時間合成訊號y d 中找出一最大的下支時間合成訊號,並取出其對應的時間索引,作為一下支時序誤差估測值,表示為。最後,時間平均電路470將計算上 支時序誤差估測值與下支時序誤差估測值的平均值, 並輸出本實施例所估測出的時序誤差,其值為。 By analogy, after a plurality of preset times, the upper branch time decision unit 460 will collect the upper time synthesis signal y u of different time indexes, and the lower time decision unit 465 will also collect the lower time of the different time index. Synthetic signal y d . The upper branch time decision unit 460 will find a maximum upper time synthesis signal in the plurality of upper time synthesis signals y u , and take out the corresponding time index as an upper branch timing error estimation value, expressed as . Similarly, the branch decision unit 465 will identify the time a maximum signal in the branched synthesis time of the plurality of branch signal y d in the synthesis time, and remove the corresponding time index, as the timing error estimate what branched, represents for . Finally, the time averaging circuit 470 will calculate the upper timing error estimate. Estimated value of the timing error with the lower branch Average value, and output the timing error estimated in this embodiment , the value is .
由上述時序誤差估測的操作可知,本發明實施例利用多個時間合成訊號y u 與y d ,找出最大值以決策出時序誤差。而上述y u 與y d 是經由多個匹配濾波器找出針對不同時間的訓練序列的相關性。除此之外,本實施例還利用了每條路徑上的通道權重係數,將每個匹配濾波器所計算出的相關性進行最大比例合成之後,才決策出其最大值。換句話說,本發明實施例在耙式的架構下,利用分集結合,達到更精準的時序誤差估測。 It can be seen from the operation of the timing error estimation that the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a plurality of time synthesis signals y u and y d to find the maximum value to determine the timing error. The above y u and y d are to find the correlation of training sequences for different times via a plurality of matched filters. In addition, in this embodiment, the channel weight coefficient on each path is also utilized, and the correlation calculated by each matched filter is subjected to maximum proportional synthesis before the maximum value is determined. In other words, the embodiment of the present invention uses diversity combining to achieve more accurate timing error estimation under the 耙-style architecture.

2.本發明實施例估測頻率飄移時,利用匹配濾波運算單元內的多個乘積,換句話說,是 利用了進行時序誤差的估測中所產生的中間產物,因而減少了估測頻率飄移的計算量。 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, when estimating the frequency drift, a plurality of products in the matched filter operation unit are used, in other words, The intermediate products produced in the estimation of the timing error are utilized, thereby reducing the amount of calculation of the estimated frequency drift.
3. 本發明實施例利用時序誤差估測值,找出在時序對準的情況下,具有最大時間相關性的乘積序列之後,再進行頻率飄移的估測。換句話說,本發明實施例在沒有時序誤差的情況下,進行精準的頻率飄移估測。 3. The embodiment of the present invention utilizes the timing error estimation value to find out the product of the product having the greatest time correlation in the case of timing alignment, and then performs the estimation of the frequency drift. In other words, the embodiment of the present invention performs accurate frequency drift estimation without timing error.
