Definitions
- OCDM orthogonal CDMA
- PN pseudo-noise
- the return link CDMA signal is generally difficult to acquire, especially in satellite systems, due to the relatively large time and frequency uncertainty of the received signal and the low received signal power.
- the acquisition process may be aided by transmitting an auxiliary signal in a designated channel.
- This signal in conjunction with a suitable receiver, should be designed so the receiver can acquire the signal quickly, estimate carrier frequency and time-of -arrival accurately, and demodulate data.
- One means for performing these functions is described in the patent application, "Network Entry Channel for CDMA systems," U.S. Application Serial No.08/358, 078.
- the present invention relates to a unique signaling and receiver combination that makes maximum use of matched filter and noncoherent reception techniques to achieve very rapid acquisition and robust performance in the presence of multipath.
- This signaling and receiver combination is called the Return Access Channel (RAC). It is applicable to both satellite and terrestrial communication systems.
- the invention described below is intended to serve several functions and objectives. These are summarized as : Provide a system for rapidly acquiring the RAC with relatively large uncertainty in carrier frequency and time-of- arrival.
- Frame and symbol sync are achieved by further noncoherent matched filter processing of the signal correlation peaks from the input MF. This is a process that is both rapid and robust in the presence of multipath.
- Figure 1 is a typical satellite radio communication system incorporating the invention
- Figure 4 is a table of RAC signal parameter summary
- Figure 9 illustrates the matched filter (MF) output for frequency bin #3 and time bins 1 through 200 with C/No 36 dB-Hz, and sum of 64 power samples for each time bin,
- Figure 10 illustrates the real part of the couplex MF output with a frequency offset 0.1 of the PN code repetition rate
- Figure 11 is a graph illustrating the real part of the baseband signal with sync modulation without noise after AFC frequency correction
- Figure 14 is a curve of the quadrature fit frequency discriminator.
- the embodiment as discussed here relates to the return link of a star configured spread spectrum satellite network of the type shown in Figure 1, but it can also be applied to appropriate terrestrial systems.
- the satellite receives the user signal from the ground and transponds it to a hub ground station (GS).
- GS hub ground station
- the return link signal structure described below incorporates CDMA with a separate Return Access Channel (RAC).
- the Subscriber Terminal (ST) transmits an Return Access
- the Acquisition Field is a length 255 PN m-Sequence which bi-phase modulates the carrier.
- the chipping rate is 272 kcps and the code is repeated 192 times, corresponding to 180 ms.
- the signal parameters are summarized in the Table shown in Figure 3.
- Frame and Symbol Svnc Field The Frame and Symbol Sync Field is distinguished from the Acquisition Field in that a length 8 Neuman-Hofman synchronization word is mod(2) added to the PN spreading sequence before bi-phase modulation of the signal.
- the RAC receiver described here, and shown in Figure 5, is conceptually a bank of 16 parallel matched filters (matched to the PN sequence) which span the initial frequency uncertainty of ⁇ 3 kHz.
- the matched filter (MF) outputs are noncoherently combined by a sliding accumulator (64 samples long) for each time bin, resulting in a two- dimensional array of power measurements which covers 16 frequencies and 1020 time offsets (corresponding to 4 samples per PN chip).
- Signal detection is performed based on the data in this table (called the Signal Detection Table). Detection will occur within about 70 ms of signal reception, Note that multiple signals can be processed in parallel.
- the sample time/frequency bin corresponding to a correlation peak is selected arid the complex samples are routed to the demodulator.
- a separate demodulator path is required for each signal to be processed,
- An estimate of time offset is performed based on the data of the Signal Detection Table.
- the ambiguity resolution capability of the PN code is approximately + 0.5 ms .
- An increased ambiguity resolution capability of + 4 ms is obtained With the symbol sync operation as is described later herein.
- a coarse estimate of frequency offset is also performed on the detected signal using a quadratic polynomial fit to the power in three adjacent frequency bins of the signal detection table. This frequency estimate is used to reduce the baseband frequency offset of the received signal.
- a cross product AFC loop is then enabled to perform a "fine” frequency estimate and further reduce the frequency offset.
- This loop has a bandwidth of about 30 HZ and settles in less than 50 ms .
- the combined results of the "coarse” and “fine” frequency estimates are processed to derive an accurate frequency estimate of frequency offset.
- the frequency corrected samples corresponding to the MF correlation peaks for a particular signal are routed to the frame and symbol sync detector. This operation is performed by an 8-bit matched filter followed by noncoherent combining (4 samples) .
- the received signal is applied to the equivalent of a bank of 16 matched filters, each of length 1020 (corresponding to 4 samples per chip and 255 chips), as shown in Figure 6.
- These filters are implemented with a single shift register whose outputs are weighted by the PN sequence as well as the sinusoid values corresponding to the desired matched filter center frequency.
- the filters are spaced at 533.3 Hz (one-half the PN code repetition rate) and overlap as shown in Figure 7.
- the magnitude squared of each filter output is accumulated over 64 code periods for each time bin offset, This noncoherent combining serves a dual purpose. First, it limits the length of the digital MF while still providing good detection performance at low signal levels. Secondly, the frequency bin bandwidth would be greatly reduced, thus requiring many more bins if the filter were lengthened in a coherent fashion.
- the MF is updated at a 1.088 mHz rate (4 times per chip).
- the summed MF output powers are used to construct a two-dimensional Signal Detection Table (SDT) with a total of 16,320 time/frequency bins corresponding to 16 frequencies and 1020 time offsets.
- SDT Signal Detection Table
- a partial plot of the Signal Detection Table (SDI-) derived by computer simulation is shown in Figure 8. Note that the correlation peak occurs is frequency bin #3, and time bin #3. A cross section of this plot for frequency bin #3 is shown in Figure 8.
- All of the entries in the SDT are updated each PN code period (approximately 1 ms) .
- the contents of the table are examined for the largest entry that has not been designated as a signal within the previous 360 ms .
- Signal detection is declared if this entry exceeds the detection threshold.
- the frequency bin number of a bin where detection has been declared corresponds to one of the MF outputs shown in Figure 6, while the time bin corresponds to samples associated with a particular reference clock timing.
- the associated signal samples can be routed to the data demodulator as shown in Figure 4. This results in an effective decimation by a factor of 1020 in the number of samples to be processed.
- the MF output before decimation is shown in Figure 10.
- the uncorrected frequency offset results in a sinusoid at baseband which modulates the correlation peaks . Note that correlation peaks occur every 1020 samples.
- the RAC receiver performs three frequency estimates is order to reduce the frequency offset sufficiently to allow data demodulation with little degradation as well as to facilitate traffic channel entry.
- the estimates are performed sequentially by:
- the signal detection frequency bin number indicates frequency offset with an accuracy of approximately ⁇ 1 kHz accuracy.
- a "coarse” frequency estimate is obtained by using a quadratic fit to entries in the SDT as described below. This gives an accuracy of about ⁇ 30 Hz,
- the frequency estimates are used to remove the frequency error of the baseband signal before routing to the data demodulator as shown in Figure 13.
- Coarse Frequency Estimate The coarse estimate is performed as follows:
- the signal center frequency is then estimated as le
- the received baseband signal is sampled at the output of the MF so that only those samples corresponding to a correlation peak are routed for further processing and data demodulation as discussed above.
- This decimated baseband signal is frequency corrected by the coarse frequency estimate as shown in Figure 12.
- the AFC loop is then activated to further reduce frequency error.
- the AFC is implemented using the cross product AFC (CPAFC) algorithm which is described in detail in Natalie, F. D., AFC Tracking Algorithms", IEEE Transactions on Communications, August, 1984.
- the discriminator curve is given by the equation:
- A is the signal amplitude at the detector input
- TL is the PN code period.
- the loop has a pull-in range of about 0.21 ⁇ T L or 224 Hz. Typical tracking performance with a loop bandwidth of 32 Hz is shown in Figure 14. Note that the loop settles in about 40 ms.
- the Frame and Word Synchronization is characterized by a length 8 Neuman-Hofman synchronization word which is mod(2) added to the PN spreading sequence before bi- phase modulation of the signal .
- One symbol of the sync word is exactly a PN sequence long.
- the spreading sequence and sync word transitions are synchronized to occur at the same time.
- the Sync Field is 30 ms long, which corresponds to 32 repetitions of the PN code and 4 repetitions of the sync word.
- Figure 11 shows the real part of the baseband signal with sync modulation after frequency correction by the AFC loop when no noise is present. This plot depicts the baseband waveform after sample decimation so that there is one sample per PN code period (0.9375 ms) .
- the first part of the time history shows the transient due to the AFC pull-in during the Acquisition Field.
- the phase transitions due to the sync word modulation are present during the Sync Field.
- the sync sequence is detected with a MF that is 8 symbols (one sync word) long.
- Post detection noncoherent combining of the output of this filter is accomplished with a sliding accumulator which sums 4 samples spaced by the sync word length.
- the MF has a frequency response with first nulls at the inverse of the filter length, i.e. 133.3 Hz.
- the sync filter power output waveform is shown in Figure 12. Note that there are a number of subsidiary correlation peaks which must be discriminated against in order to avoid a false sync. Detection of the correct sync position is important since it gives frame sync and data code word sync. Data Demodulation
- Data is transmitted using an 8-ary orthogonal code word set which is bi-phase modulated on the carrier as discussed earlier. Correct detection of the sync field gives the necessary timing, as discussed above.
- Noncoherent data detection is implemented by observing the power output of a bank of 8 FIR filters matched to the 8 code words.
- the code word corresponding to the filter with the largest output power is declared the winner and the appropriate data bits are output by the data demodulator.
- FIG. 16 A functional block diagram of the RAC signal transmitter is shown in Figure 16.
- both the data and sync sources are gated off, and only the PN code is modulated onto the carrier.
- the sync word is gated on and mod-2 added to the PN code during the Sync Field and then gated off.
- the data source is gated on and mod-2 added to the PN code during the data field.
- the resultant baseband signal is bi-phase modulated onto the carrier.
