Description

多时隙 CDMA无线通信系统中提高传输速率的方法 技术领 ^戈
本发明涉及无线移动通信技术, 更确切地说是涉及一种提高多时隙 码分多址(QMA)无线通信系统中传输速率的方法, 是改进第三代 移动通信标准中码分多址时分双工 (CDMA TDD)移动通信系统性能 的一种方法。 发明背景
在目前的第三代移动通信系统中, 特别是在码分多址时分双工 (CDMA TDD)标准的系统 (包括速率为 3.84Mbps的 UTRA TDD及速率为 1.28Mbps的 TD-SCDMA标准 ) 中 , 均使用多时隙的帧结构。 UTRA TDD标 准共设计有 15个时隙; 而 TD-SO)MA标准则设计了 7个主时隙。 在每个 时隙内均使用最大扩频系数为 16的 CDMA方式。
参见图 1, 以 TD- SCDMA标准为例, 示出其帧结构。 每个长度为 5ras 的子帧均由 7个主时隙构成, 包括: TS0 ( 10)、 TS1 ( 11 )、 TS2 ( 12)、 TS3 ( 13)、 TS4 ( 14)、 TS5 ( 15)、 TS6 ( 16)和 3 个特殊时隙: 下行导 引时隙 DwPTS ( 17 )、 保护时隙 G ( 18)和上行导引时隙 UpPTS ( 19)。 每 个主时隙的宽度为 675 s, 共 864码片 (chip)。 每个主时隙又分为四个 区域: 业务数据区 Data (20、 22)、 中间码区 Midamble ( 21 )及时隙间 保护区 g (23)。 其中, 中间码区 Mid謹 ble ( ) 长 144码片 (chip), 时隙保护区 g长 16chip, 前后两个业务数据区各长 352码片 (chip)。 在扩频系数为 16时, 两个业务数据区各可传输 22个符号, 在四相移相 键控 ( QPS )调制方式下等效速率为 17.6kbps0 当需要传输更高速率时, 通常可采用多码道技术或者降低扩频系 数, 此时, 一个主时隙的最高传输速率为 16x17. 6kbps = 281. 6kbps„ 当需要传输更高速率时, 可以使用多时隙传输, 使用两个时隙可传输 563. 2kbps , 使用 3个时隙可传输 844. 8kbps , 以此类推。
综上所述, 目前第三代移动通信系统均使用 CDMA 方式, 在时分双 工的 C丽 A标准中, 为支持不对称业务, 均使用多时隙的结构; 为提供 高速数据业务, 均使用可变扩频系数、 多码道或者多时隙等技术。
上述方法的主要缺点在于:
1.数据传输速率仍然不够高。仍然以 TD-SCDMA系统为例,根据 3GPP 规范的要求, 在数据速率低于 8kbps时, 可以用一个时隙中的一个码道 进行传输; 在传输速率为 12. 2kbps 的话音信号时, 可使用一个时隙中 的两个码道或者将扩频系数降低为 8 , 此时, 用户终端的发射功率将是 每个扩频系数为 16 的码道所需发射功率的一倍。 使用一个时隙最多可 提供 128kbps的传输速率;而传输 384kbps的业务则至少使用 3个时隙, 而且,在信道编码为 R=l / 3时,戳孔的比例非常高,导致性能明显降低。 为了传输 2Mbps的业务, 在 TD-SCDMA系统中, 必须使用 5个时隙, 并 使用 8PS 的调制方式。 这样, 在一个载波频率内, 2Mbps的业务就只能 作单向传输。 因此, 如何提高多时隙 CDMA TDD 系统传输高速数据的能 力问题, 迄今为止一直没有解决;
2. 用户终端设计困难。 不论第三代移动通信系统釆用的是哪一种
C應 A TDD技术( UTRA TDD及 TD- SC丽 A ), 在帧结构中都设计了中间码区 (如图 1中的 21 ), 都使用联合检测技术。 由于联合检测技术算法的复 杂性, 目前设计的用户终端均仅仅能对一个时隙的信号完成多用户检 测, 故最多支持接收一个时隙的信号, 或者说, 价格比较低廉的用户终 端通常最高支持 128 (或者 144 ) kbps速率的数据业务。要支持 384kbps 或者 2Mbps的数据业务,则必须使用多个解调器,使用户终端体积增大、 耗电增加、 成本增加。 即使随着微电子技术的发展, 芯片处理能力得到 成倍增加, 在获得更大处理能力的同时必然需要更大的耗电和更贵的成 本。 因此解决多时隙工作的问题, 对产品的推广应用是另一迫切需要解 决的问题;
3. 小区覆盖差。 根据 CDMA的工作原理, 当使用低的扩频系数或者 使用多码道传输一个业务数据时所需要的发射功率, 与单码道使用较高 扩频系数时所需要的发射功率相比, 前者与后者间是成倍增加的关系。 如果用户终端的最大发射功率固定, 则导致通信距离降低, 小区覆盖面 积降低; 如果用户终端有足够大的发射功率, 则耗电增加, 缩短了用户 终端电池的使用时间。 发明内容
本发明的目的是提供一种多时隙 CDMA无线通信系统中提高传输速 率的方法, 在提高用户数据传输能力的同时, 使用户终端在发射时占用 的码道数降低,或者使最大发射功率降低,以扩大小区覆盖和降低耗电, 还可降低对终端解调复杂性的要求, 降低用户终端成本。
实现本发明目的的技术方案是这样的: 一种多时隙 CDMA 无线通信 系统中提高传输速率的方法, 其特征在于包括以下步骤:
A . 将复数个相邻时隙合并为一个时隙长度是原单个时隙长度整数 倍的时隙, 该合并后时隙包括至少一个业务数据区和一个保护区,且不 限制对合并后时隙所采用的调制方式;
B. 用合并后时隙的至少一个业务数据区传输业务数据, 和用合并 后时隙的一个时隙间保护区进行时隙间保护。
所述步骤 B中,可以用长度接近的前、后业务数据区传输业务数据; 和在前、 后业务数据区间设置一个用于提高系统传输性能的中间码区。 所述步骤 B中, 可以用长度接近的两个以上的业务数据区传输业务 数据; 和将一个以上用于提高系统传输性能的中间码区分设在业务数据 区间。
所述中间码区的长度随参与合并的相邻时隙个数的增加而增加。 所述的步骤 A、 B中, 可以将两个相邻时隙合并成一个 2倍时隙, 用两个长度分别为 720码片和 736码片的业务数据区传输业务数据, 用 于在扩频系数为 16时可提供整数个符号, 使用长度为 256码片的中间 码区和用长度为 16码片的时隙间保护区。
所述的步 A、 B中, 可以将三个相邻时隙合并成一个 3倍时隙, 用两个长度分别为 1152码片和 1168码片的业务数据区传输业务数据, 用于在扩频系数为 16时可提供整数个符号, 使用长度为 256码片的中 间码区和用长度为 16码片的时隙间保护区。
所述的步骤 A、 B中, 可以将四个相邻时隙合并成一个 4倍时隙, 用两个长度分别为 1456码片和 1472码片的业务数据区传输业务数据 5 用于在扩频系数为 16时可提供整数个符号, 使用长度为 512码片的中 间码区和用长度为 16码片的时隙间保护区。
所述步骤 A中, 在合并后的时隙内可使用包括 QPSK、 8PSK、 16QAM、 64QAM的调制方式。
可以在时分-同步码分多址移动通信系统中, 将 3个相邻时隙合并 成一个 3倍时隙, 采用四相移相键控调制方式和 R=l/3的信道编码, 在 单个 3倍时隙中传输速率为 384kbps的数据业务。
可以将时分-同步码分多址移动通信系统标准的 TS1、 TS2、 TS3时 隙合并成一个 3倍时隙, 传输上行业务数据; 将 TS4、 TS5、 TS6时隙合 并成一个 3倍时隙, 传输下行业务数据, 使用 16QAM调制方式, 不使用 信道编码, 传输双向 2Mbps业务数据。
本发明所公开的是一种新的多时隙合并技术, 通过将两个或者多个 时隙合并成为一个大的时隙, 在此大的合并后的多倍时隙内使用 (也可 不使用)一组新的中间码(midamble) , 和在此大的时隙内使用不同的调 制方式, 如 8PSK、 16QAM或者 64QAM等, 提高数据传输速率, 和提高频 谱利用率。 .
本发明的在多时隙 CDMA无线通信系统中提高数据传输速率的方法, 可将多时隙 CDMA TDD系统的数据传输效率提高 3 %至 10 % ; 解决了在 TD-SCDMA系统中使用单时隙传输 384kbps业务及 2Mbps业务时的困难; 使用户终端设备有可能在只使用单时隙接收时还能接收高速数字信号; 筒化了用户终端设计, 减少了用户终端的耗电, 扩大了小区覆盖。 附图简要说明

下面结合附图对本发明进行详细描述。
本发明通过采用一种新的帧结构及所提供的使用方法, 来达到提高 数据传输速率的目的。 以 TD- SCDMA 系统为例, 当需要传输较高数据速 率时(如传输一个速率为 12. 2kbps的话音), 不是用现有的, 如降低扩 频系数(从 16降低为 8 )或者使用两个码道传输一个数据业务的方法, 而是将相邻时隙合并成为一个比较大的时隙进行数据传输。
参见图 2, 将两个邻近的时隙合并为一个比较大的时隙 (称为 2倍 时隙)时的帧结构。 原帧结构(100 )包括两个邻近时隙(各一个码道), 每个时隙由数据业务区 (130、 120 )、 中间码区 (110 )和保护时隙区 g ( 140 )构成, 码片长度各为 352、 352、 144和 16chips。 新帧结构也由 业务数据区(210、 230 )、 中间码区( 220 )和保护时隙区 g ( 240 )构成, 码片长度各为 720、 736、 256和 16 chips。 此新时隙的宽度为原时隙宽 度的 2倍, 可采用最大扩频系数为 16的直接序列扩频多址方式。 新帧 与原两个相邻帧保持码片总数相等, 为 1728 个码片。 新帧结构中, 前 后业务数据区的长度应基本一致 , 2倍时隙时建议的中间码长度为 256 码片, 其长度越短则传输效率越高但性能越差, 其长度越长则传输效率 越低但性能越好。 保护时隙区 g的长度仍为 16个码片。
参见图 3, 将三个邻近的时隙 201、 202、 203合并为一个较大的时 隙 300 (称为 3倍时隙), 或者将四个邻近的时隙 204、 205、 206、 207 合并为一个较大的时隙 400 (称为 4倍时隙) 的结构, 此 3倍时隙和 4 倍时隙 (合并后的新时隙) 的长度分別为原时隙长度的 3倍及 4倍, 仍 然采用最大扩频系数为 16的直接序列扩频多址方式。 此 3倍时隙的新 时隙, 包括长度分别为 1152、 1168码片的前后业务数据区 321、 322, 长度为 256码片的中间码区 325和长度为 16码片的保护时隙区(g )323。 此 4倍时隙的新时隙, 包括长度分别为 1456、 1472码片的前后业务数 据区 331、 332, 长度为 512码片的中间码区 333和长度为 16码片的保 护时隙区 (g ) 334。
需要特别说明的是: 在图 2 中, 原帧结构 (100 )是图 1 中两个相 邻时隙中的各一个码道; 而本发明的帧结构 ( 200、 300、 400 )是将两 个或三个或四个相邻时隙码道合并为一个大时隙, 其中任何一个码道也 由四个区域: 业务数据区 (210、 230、 321、 322、 331、 332 )、 中间码 区 ( 220、 325、 333 )及时隙保护区 g (240、 323、 334)组成。 由于数据 区域增加, 为保证系统性能, 中间码的长度也要相应增加, 在 2倍时隙 时(图 2 ), 对此中间码长度作出的建议是 256chip, 在 3倍时隙和 4倍 时隙时, 对此中间码长度作出的建议分别是 256和 512chip。 当然, 根 据系统生能要求, 此长度也可改变为其它值。
使用 2倍时隙时(见图 2 ), 每个码道可提供 91个符号, 可以在两 个业务数据区 ( 210、 230 )分别安排 45和 46个符号。这样,在使用 QPSK 调制方式下可传输 36. 4kbps 的数据速率, 非常适合 3GPP 典型的 12. 2kbps的话音业务(使用 R=l/3信道编码)。 使用 8个码道, 就可以 提供传输速率为 128或者 144kbps的数据业务。 此时所带来的好处是: 传输的业务数据量增加了 3. 2 % ; 所需要的发射功率降低了一半; 在同 等发射功率条件下, 通信距离增加了 (具体增加量还会随工作环境的变 化而变化)。
当需要传输的数据速率更高时 , 则可以使用本发明的方法, 进一步 地将更多的时隙合并成一个仍由业务数据区、 中间码区和保护时隙区构 成的更大的时隙, 而不是用原来的多时隙方式。
在使用 3倍时隙 ( 300 ) 时, 中间码 ( 325 ) 可以采用图 2中 2 倍时隙 ( 200 ) 的中间码 ( 220 ) 长度, 这样, 业务数据区 ( 321、 322 )的容量就又可得到增加。 而在由四个时隙合并的大时隙.( 400 ) 中, 中间码 ( 333 ) 的长度必须更长一些。
使用如图 3所示的 3倍时隙( 300 )时,在扩频系数为 16的情况下, 其每个码道可支持 145个符号, 可以在两个业务数据区 ( 321、 322 )分 别安排 72和 73个符号。 在使用 QPSK调制方式下, 每个大码道( 3倍码 道)可提供达 58kbps 的数据速率; 此 3倍时隙总共可提供达 928kbps 的数据速率, 比原技术提高了 10 % , 在使用 R=l/3纠错编码条件下可传 输 384kbps的业务。
使用如图 3所示的 4倍时隙 ( 400 ) 时, 建议其中间码区 333增加 到 512chip, 这样, 在扩频系数为 16时, 其每个码道可支持 183个符号 ( symbol ), 可以在两个业务数据区 (331、 332 )分别安排 91和 92个 符号。 在使用 QPSK 调制方式下, 每个大码道(4 倍码道) 可提供达 73. 2kbps的数据传输速率; 此 4倍时隙总共可提供达 1. 17Mbps的数据 传输速率。
图 2、 图 3中, 合并后时隙中间码的位置均位于时隙的中间, 且只 有一个, 但在实施时也可不这样安排 , 即中间码区不一定在合并后时隙 的中间, 并且可以有多个。
如图 4中所示的另外一种多倍时隙的帧结构。其中,将 3个时隙 201、 202、 203合并成一个 3倍时隙 350, 安排了两个长度为 128chips的中 间码区 ( 365 ), 其它四个数据业务区 ( 361、 362、 363、 364 )传输业务 数据, 还有一个保护时隙区 g ( 373 )。 而 4倍时隙( 450 )也安排了两个 长度为 256chips的中间码区 ( 433 ), 其它四个数据业务区 ( 431、 432、 434、 435 )传输业务数据。 其数据传输效率与图 3所示实施例相同, 但 由于使用了两段中间码, 增加了克服多径及快衰落的能力, 同时也会带 来数据处理时的复杂性。 当然中间码区的长度也是随参与合并的相邻时 隙个数的增加而增加。
以此类推, 还可以使用本发明的方法, 将更多相邻时隙合并, 形成
5倍时隙、 6倍时隙, 或者更大的时隙, 使 CDMA TDD技术在获得更高数 据传输速率的同时, 还大大筒化了用户终端的信号处理, 降低了终端耗 电, 改善了系统的覆盖。
本发明的方法还为在某些时隙内使用比较高阶的调制方式提供了 方便。 以图 1所示的 2倍时隙为例, 在上述 2倍时隙内使用 8PSK调制 方式, 每码道的数据传输速率将达到 54. 6kbps , 比使用 QPSK调制方式 增加 50 % ; 使用 16QAM 调制方式, 每码道的数据传输速率将达到 72. 8kbps , 比使用 QPSK调制方式增加了一倍; 而使用 64QAM调制方式, 每码道的数据传输速率将达到 145. 6kbps,比使用 QPSK调制方式再增加 一倍。
使用本发明的方法还可以进一步增加传输速率。 作为一个例子, 采 用图 3所示的 3倍时隙 ( 300 ), 及使用 16QAM的调制方式, 并将图 3中 3倍时隙的中间码去掉。 这样形成图 5所示的三倍时隙, 它仅仅由业务 数据区 ( 350 )及 1 6ch i p的保护区 g ( 360 )构成。 则此业务数据区的长 度为 2 , 576ch i p , 可传输的总数据速率为 2. 061Mbps。 这样, 在传输 2. 048Mbps业务时, 还有能力传输 12kbps的随路信令。 将此方法应用于 TD-SCDMA 系统时, 可以将三个时隙 (如 TS 1、 TS2及 TS 3 )合并为图 5 所示的 3倍时隙, 供上行传输; 将三个时隙(如 TS4、 TS5及 TS6 )合并 为图 5所示的 3倍时隙, 供下行传输, 就可以实现同时双向传输 2Mbps 业务, 比原来只能单向传输 2Mbps业务有了非常大的提高, 完全实现了 I TU对第三代移动通信系统的要求。
将复数个相邻时隙合并为一个较大的时隙, 其合并过程可以全 部采用软件技术实现。
本发明的方法,通过将复数个相邻时隙合并为一个较大的时隙, 合并后的时隙长度是原时隙长度的整数倍; 合并后的时隙可使用与 原时隙类似的时隙结构, 其中间码的长度随合并后的时隙长度改 变, 而保护区域的长度可以不变; 在此合并后的时隙内仍然可以采 用较高的调制方式, 以提高数据传输速率。
