Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to telecommunication systems, more particularly to receiver units, preferably in code division multiple access (CDMA) communication systems, comprising means for automatic gain control of received signals .
- CDMA code division multiple access
- CDMA code division multiple access
- a plurality of base stations cover each a certain geographic area and provide communication services to and from users within such areas.
- Characteristic for CDMA- systems is that the common transmission medium is shared between different users by assigning specific and unique code sequences, e.g. a pseudo-random code, to the uplink and downlink channels between base station and user equipment. These code sequences are used by the transmitters to transform signals into wideband spread spectrum signals.
- code sequences e.g. a pseudo-random code
- a demodulator re-transforms said wideband signals from a specific transmitter into the original bandwidth by using the same code sequence as that transmitter while signals marked with different codes remain wideband signals and, thus, are interpreted by the receiver as part of the external background noise.
- the communication medium is to be modelled as a multipath channel with different time delays and attenuation factors in the different propagation paths.
- Yet another aspect specific to the multiple access technique used in CDMA, relates to the fact that all users transmit wideband signals potentially at the same time and using the same bandwidth. Due to this fact and the propagation effects as described above, a base station will receive wideband signals from different users within a large dynamic range, e.g. up to 80dB, depending on the received signal power. Additionally, as the received signal power from a single user may change during transmission and varies depending on the receiving antenna, each user transmission is subjected to an enlarged dynamic range.
- the base station in order to be able to receive signals from all users within the coverage area of, e.g., a base station, it is essential for said base station to provide means for supervision and control of the total received uplink transmission power per user as well as the total received uplink transmission power from all users in order to assure both that signals from all transmitting users, irrespective of signal propagation effects, arrive at the base station with virtually the same mean power and that the total interference level does not become too high with the result of a reduced system capacity. This is achieved by estimating the total received power at each base station antenna and using said estimate to regulate the output power of the transmitting user equipment for the respective base station.
- JP 8-335 928 A shows, e.g., a receiver of a CDMA type mobile communication system including, i.a., an AGC-unit (30) controlling the gain according to the maximum amplitude of the analogue baseband signals and outputs a constant output signal (S30) .
- AGC- Automatic Gain Control
- signal processing means located in front of the demodulator in at least one of the signal input paths, said means including at least a digital AGC-unit and a subsequent quantizer unit.
- the digital AGC-unit scales said sequences of signal samples to a common and constant power level.
- the quantizer unit can transform the scaled signal samples to samples using a reduced number of bits.
- a control error is determined and used to maintain the signal quality at the demodulator input .
- the invention is founded on the insight that input signals from the various antennas of a receiver have a large long term dynamic range, i.e.
- the present invention comprises an arrangement and a method that reduces the number of bits that is necessary to represent signal samples that are forwarded to a demodulator.
- processing of said signal samples in the subsequent demodulator is significantly less complex, which implies decreasing power consumption and saving chip area.
- Still another advantage of the present invention is an improved digital AGC-unit that is less sensitive to external noise interference.
- said AGC-unit can be implemented by reusing already existing power estimation means for received signals .
- the demodulator can switch in a fast way to antennas that momentarily receive a signal best, e.g., in case of a softer handover .
- Figure 1 shows an overview of a base station receiver and in particular the input uplink signal paths to the base station demodulator .
- FIG. 2 shows in greater detail the signal processing means for one of said signal paths according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 3a and 3b show two examples of assignment functions that elucidate the relationship between the power estimate for a signal sample and the scaling factor that is necessary to transform said signal sample to a certain target power level.
- FIG. 4 shows a flowchart that illustrates the main steps of the method according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 1 refers in general to a base station, e.g., in a CDMA-based communication system, and especially to that part of a base station receiver 10 that is responsible for forwarding of received signals to its demodulator 11.
- the base station provides communication services to user equipments within its cell, which is usually divided into a number of sectors, and is equipped with at least one antenna per sector, or preferably two antennas in order to improve signal reception by using diversity effects.
- the base station can use various received copies of a transmitted signal from a user equipment. This is an important precondition, e.g., with respect to a softer handover, i.e. when a base station detects a better quality of received signals from another sector antenna and switches reception to that antenna.
- the received signals differ considerably in signal quality and are received at different power levels that cover a large dynamic range depending on, e.g., the different propagation and attenuation characteristics of the actual radio channel. In addition, said differences may also depend on the fact that the signal is received from an area outside the proper coverage area of an antenna. Therefore, the present invention intends to enable the base station receiver 10, and especially the demodulator part 11 of said receiver 10, to use the various received signal copies and retrieve an optimized signal that can be used for demodulation of the original user information.
- the base station receiver part 10 comprises for each of its antennas a separate input path 17 for the uplink signals that are to be forwarded to the demodulator 11.
- the received high-frequency signals are pre- processed by amplifying and filtering means 12, down- converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) 13, and represented as sequences of 16-bit signal samples by an analog-to-digital converter 14 with a subsequent low-pass filter 15.
- the signal processing means 16 using the signal processing means 16 according to the present invention, the digitized input signals are transformed to a sufficiently high target power level that is common for each signal input paths 17 and, thus, making said signals applicable for the demodulator 11 as described above.
- said signal processing means 16 For each of the signal input paths, said signal processing means 16 consists of at least a digital AGC-unit 161 for scaling the sequences of input signal samples and a quantizer unit 162 for reducing the number of bits that is necessary for coding of said signal samples.
- the adaptation unit can also include a conventional analogue AGC-unit 163, which is applied, e.g., as a preceding signal attenuation unit for the analogue signal .
- FIG. 2 describes in more detail the different parts of the signal processing means 16 according to the present invention and how said parts co-operate according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Said signal processing means can be divided into a number of blocks:
- the main blocks are a scaling block 21, which scales input signals in dependence of signal power estimates from a power estimating unit 22, and a quantiser block 23 that delivers a scaled output signal.
- the signal adaptation unit contains offset compensation means 24 and, optionally, a conventional analogue AGC-unit 25.
- the central part of said signal processing means consists of the scaling block 21 including means 211 for determining a scaling factor from estimated power values of a received input signal X[n] and means 212 for scaling said input signal X[n] to an output signal Y[n] that still carries the same information.
- scaling implies that each of these signal samples is adjusted to a common power target level ⁇ r 2 ef by multiplication with an appropriately determined scaling factor ⁇ , i.e. Y k ⁇
- the scaling block 21 compensates the varying mean power levels of the input signal samples, i.e.
- the quantiser unit 23 can reduce the number of coding bits per sample to a number that is sufficient for representing signal variations within the short term dynamic range.
- scaling can be performed by a multiplication with a scaling factor that is constant for the time interval of the k-th sample. Then, said scaling factor is defined as
- Calculation of the scaling factor ⁇ .k for an input signal Xk[n] requires buffering of the input data stream during the whole time interval while the variance is calculated.
- the scaling function has been described as a multiplication. Since the scaling in the AGC is performed on sample basis, hard demands will be raised on the multiplicators performing the actual scaling. However, these demands can be substantially relaxed if the scaling factor is quantized to a value that can be represented as a power of two. In this case, the scaling factor ⁇ k can be interpreted as a shift factor ⁇ k, i.e.
- Scaling is done by means of left-shifting a signal sample according to the shift factor ⁇ k. In order to avoid too large steps of the scaling factor ⁇ k due to that quantization, it is possible to quantize said factor to a value that can be represented as sum of powers of two. In this case, a scaling factor ⁇ is represented as a set of shift values ⁇ ?* , , ⁇ consisting of the exponents of the sum terms. Scaling is done by means of left-shifting a signal sample for the number of positions that is indicated by each of the shift factors in said set and adding these shifted parts.
- the scaling block as described above assumes input signals X[n] having zero mean value. This is necessary because the scaling operation is done by means of a multiplication.
- the hardware of the radio receiver might introduce a bias to the input signal, which can be considered as a time variant process with a very large time constant. This deviation is removed by introducing an offset compensation block 24 comprising means 241 for estimating the signal mean value by using a one tap low- pass filter with large time constant. A possible signal offset is removed by subtracting the estimated mean value from the input signal.
- an analogue AGC-unit 25 can be introduced to decrease the total dynamic range of an incoming signal.
- Said unit is designed as an attenuator that is controlled by means of power estimates from the power estimation unit 22.
- a control unit 251 activates a certain level of attenuation in response to the estimated signal power level.
- Said analogue AGC-unit should be designed at least as a step attenuator comprising active states with a certain attenuation and a non-active state with low attenuation.
- the control unit 251 activates an attenuation level if the signal power level exceeds a certain threshold level and deactivates when said signal power level decreases below said threshold.
- incoming signals comprising a very large dynamic range can be attenuated, e.g., in order to avoid an undesired clipping in the subsequent analogue-to-digital converter .
- the scaling factor for each signal sample is defined by using estimates of the variance of the input signal sample Xk[n].
- the scaling factor is calculated by using signal power estimates that are derived from a power estimation block 22.
- the power estimation block 22 consists of estimation means 221 to calculate a power estimate and filtering means 222, viz. a low-pass one tap filter, in order to avoid sharp changes.
- Hardware complexity for calculating power estimates could be reduced furthermore by reusing an already implemented function block for power estimation: As it is crucial to minimize the total interference between sectors and between different base stations in a CDMA-based communication system, means are provided for estimating the total received power at the antenna in each sector and by that controlling and minimizing the output power of the mobiles within the sector. Said means needed for good system performance could also be combined with the arrangement and method according to the present invention and, thus, replace said estimation means 221.
- Figures 3a and 3b are logarithmic presentations of examples for assignment functions of an appropriate scaling factor ⁇ k with respect to a calculated variance level Pk for a certain signal sample Xk[n]. Said functions are applied in said means 211 to determine and assign discrete scaling factors in accordance with certain intervals of the estimated variance levels Pk.
- the diagram in figure 3a represents a first approach of a scaling factor assignment based on the calculated variance value within certain intervals.
- the assignment of scaling factors also includes a relay control at the border between power intervals that prevents the assignment of oscillating scaling factors.
- the jump value of the power for changing the scaling factor varies depending from which side the power value approaches the ordinary jump value, i.e. the border line of the two adjacent power intervals. For decreasing power values the jump value is slightly minor than the ordinary jump value and, correspondingly, for increasing power values the jump value is slightly higher than the ordinary jump value. Thus, within a narrow power interval around the border the change of the scaling factor is delayed in order to prevent an oscillation between two scaling factors.
- the insensitivity against power fluctuations depends on the width of said narrow power interval .
- Figure 4 shows a flowchart illustrating the main steps of the method according to the invention for transforming an input signal sequence Xk[n], block 41, to a common and constant target variance level ⁇ 2 ef .
- a first step block
- the received signals may be adjusted, if necessary, to a common zero mean value in order to be able to perform a scaling operation by means of a multiplication.
- a power estimate Pk is calculated, block 43 , and a scaling factor ⁇ k is determined depending on said calculated power estimate Pk and the target power level ⁇ 2 ef , block 44.
- the estimated power level Pk of the AGC-unit can be applied to initiate an attenuation of the analogue received signal if said power estimates exceed threshold values.
- the scaled signal is marred by a signal error.
- This error results in the first place from the fact that the scaling factor is updated only at common time intervals and, secondly, from the fact that the scaling factor is quantized with respect to distinct intervals of signal power estimates and, possibly, quantized to a value that can be represented as a sum of powers of two.
- a subsequent unit e.g. the demodulator, which assumes signal samples that are scaled to a common variance level, receives and processes a signal that might have a considerably large deviation from said common variance level.
- the scaling factor can be updated faster.
- the scaling block 21 of the digital AGC-unit according to figure 2 generates side information 26 of the quality of the scaling and quantization that is updated faster than the scaling factor and forwarded to the demodulator 11 together with the scaled signal samples.
- This side information 26 is typically the control error of the AGC-algorithm due to the quantization of the scaling factor.
- the demodulator can easily and in a fast way switch to the antenna that momentarily receive the input signals best, e.g., when performing a softer handover.
