Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for generating a Positioning Reference Signal to be used in a wireless Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) communication system, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- the present invention also relates to a method of a receiving node for detecting a timing value in such a communication system as defined in the preamble of claim 18.
- the present invention also relates to a method for transmitting the PRS, to a computer program and to a computer program product implementing the methods of the invention.
- the present invention also relates to an entity arranged for generating a PRS to be used in such a communication system, as defined in the preamble of claim 24, and to a transmitting node, as defined in the preamble of claim 25.
- the present invention also relates to a receiving node arranged for detecting a timing value to be used for determining its position in such a communication system, as defined in the preamble of claim 26.
- a requirement in many wireless communication systems for instance cellular systems utilizing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) , such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, is that the system is capable of accurately determining the location of a receiving node, such as a mobile station or a user equipment (UE) .
- a receiving node such as a mobile station or a user equipment (UE) .
- the location of the receiving node is determined by the serving cell, on the basis of measurements being performed at the receiving node.
- the receiving node can based on the measurement results determine its location itself.
- the measurements at the receiving node reflect the distance of the receiving node from at least two neighboring cells, whose coordinates are known by the serving cell.
- the number of neighboring cells used is between 3 and 5.
- the usual measure used for determining the receiving cell position is a Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) between a positioning reference signal (PRS) being transmitted from the serving cell and PRSs being transmitted by other cells, i.e. the neighboring cells, being selected for distance measurements.
- TDOA Time Difference of Arrival
- PRS positioning reference signal
- PRSs positioning reference signal
- other cells i.e. the neighboring cells
- the measured TDOA At 21 is usually fed back to the serving sell, which use this information to calculate the distance difference between the receiving node and the celli, and between the receiving node and cell2 as:
- Equation 1 defines (K-I) non-linear equations, whose solution gives the unknown position of the receiving node (x,y) .
- the Time Of Arrival (TOA) of PRSs can be detected by utilizing the cross-correlation between the received signal and all the PRSs that have been indicated to the receiving node by the serving cell.
- the PRSs with whom the receiving node correlates the received signal should unambiguously, one-to-one, correspond to the cell IDs of the cells in the set of cells being used for the measurement.
- the receiving node receives information about the set of PRSs it should measure, i.e. the set of cells from which the receiving node receives a signal, as well as the relative transmit timing of these signals.
- the PRSs are assumed to be transmitted in specially allocated subframes, containing either 12 or 14 OFDM symbols. These special subframes should experience low interference and could be based either on regular subframes without Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission, or on Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) subframes.
- PDSCH Physical Downlink Shared Channel
- MBSFN Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network
- An important requirement for a large set of PRSs e.g. a set of PRSs corresponding one-to-one to the cell IDs of the system, i.e. a set containing 504 PRSs for LTE, is that the aperiodic cross-correlation between any two PRSs is as small as possible, while the aperiodic auto-correlation of each PRS should have as much as possible impulse-like shape, i.e. as low as possible sidelobes.
- An impulse-like shaped auto-correlation allows accurate Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) estimation in case of multipath propagation, i.e. it minimizes the probability of finding a false TDOA due to high sidelobes of the auto-correlation.
- the cross-correlation properties determine the level of interference resulting from neighboring cells when the PRS subframes from different cells are partially or fully aligned. Low cross-correlation between PRSs allows better usage of the time-frequency resources, as more cells can transmit simultaneously. Thus, fewer PRS subframes are needed when the cross-correlation is low.
- the existing CRSs being used for channel estimation in a communication system utilizing OFDM are contained in certain OFDM symbols within a subframe of 12 or 14 OFDM symbols, with every sixth Resource Element (RE) used for transmission of energy.
- the RE corresponds to a sinusoid (also called a subcarrier) , whose frequency is a multiple integer of the inverse of the duration of the OFDM symbol, and whose duration is equal to the duration of an OFDM symbol.
- Different cell-specific Reference Signals (RSs) have different frequency offsets of occupied REs, having values in the range between 0 and 5 REs, depending on the cell ID.
- the used CRS REs are modulated by the elements of a cell-specific QPSK pseudo-random sequence. For positioning purposes, the LTE CRSs may not provide sufficient signal-to- interference plus noise ratio.
- the peak-to-average power ratio of the PRS should be as low as possible, in order to maximize the received energy from each cell involved in Observed Time Difference Of Arrival (OTDOA) measurement. If there is no data transmission in the subframes used for PRS, it might lead to that all the subcarriers in a PRS become co-phased at some instants. This undesirable effect is particularly present if all the REs of the PRS are modulated with a same value (e.g., unity) .
- Figure 2 shows a prior art solution, in which a time-frequency pattern for PRSs based on a Costas Arrays of length 10 has been proposed to be used in a PRS subframe.
- the exact Costas Array pattern to be used will here depend on design choices for the PRS subframe. For example, the pattern used will depend on the choice between normal and extended cyclic prefix subframes, wherein the latter contains less OFDM symbols, or if MBSFN subframes are to be used.
- a candidate Costas Array of length 10 proposed in for use in extended cyclic prefix MBSFN subframes is shown.
- the array in Figure 2 can be mapped into resource blocks having a bandwidth corresponding to 12 subcarriers. To fill out the system bandwidth, this 12x10 block could be replicated in frequency, leaving 2 subcarriers empty per resource block Alternatively, the 10x10 array may be replicated across all resource blocks without coordination with resource block boundaries. In this case, there are no empty subcarriers.
- Different cells would have different versions of a generic array shown in Figure 2, wherein these versions are obtained by cyclically shifting the 10x10 pattern in time and frequency. The shifts are performed modulo 10 rows and modulo 10 columns.
- the pattern shown in Figure 2 has the property that all cyclic time/frequency shifts of the sequence overlap in at most two symbols with a majority of the sequences overlapping in less than two symbols.
- PAPRs Peak to Power Average Ratios
- the time-frequency pattern includes at least two OFDM symbols
- the values being assigned to the number of REs correspond to elements in a modulation sequence having a length being equal to the number of REs, and are to be used for modulating OFDM subcarriers corresponding to the REs within that OFDM symbol.
- the object is also achieved by the above mentioned method according to the characterizing portion of claim 18, i.e. by the receiving node performing the steps of, while utilizing knowledge of a cell ID of each one of at least three cells: - determining a time-frequency pattern of REs having been used for transmitting a received signal,
- the at least one modulation sequence has a length being equal to a number of the REs being within an OFDM symbol being part of the time- frequency pattern
- the object is also achieved by the above mentioned entity according to the characterizing portion of claim 24, i.e. the entity comprising - determination means arranged for determining a time- frequency pattern of REs to be used for transmitting the PRS, wherein the time-frequency pattern includes at least two OFDM symbols,

- the entity arranged for generating the PRS can be located either within or outside the transmitting node itself. That is, the PRS can be generated in a separate entity and be stored in the transmission node, or it can be both generated and transmitted by the transmit node.
- - determining means arranged for determining, while utilizing knowledge of a cell ID of each one of at least three cells, a time-frequency pattern of Resource Elements (REs) having been used for transmitting a received signal
- - determination means arranged for determining, while utilizing the knowledge, at least one modulation sequence having been used for modulating the OFDM subcarriers corresponding to the REs of the time-frequency pattern, wherein the at least one modulation sequence has a length being equal to a number of the REs being within an OFDM symbol being part of the time-frequency pattern,
- the object is also achieved by the above mentioned method for transmitting the PRS, the computer program, and the computer program product implementing the methods of the invention.
- the generation of the PRS, the method for transmitting the PRS, the method for detecting a timing value, the entity being arranged for generating the PRS, the transmitting node arranged for transmitting the PRS, and the receiving node arranged for detecting the timing value according to the present invention are characterized in that they define the PRS by a time-frequency pattern of REs over multiple OFDM symbols and modulation sequences being used for modulating the REs being within the time-frequency pattern.
- One such modulation sequence has a number of elements, L, which number of elements L is is equal to the number of REs occupied by the PRS in one OFDM symbol. This has the advantage that the favorable properties of the chosen modulation sequence, e.g. the PAPR and/or auto-correlation and/or cross-correlation properties, of the chosen modulation sequence, are preserved in the PRSs being generated.
- the modulation sequences used for generating PRSs can be chosen such that they at least control the peak-to-average power ratio, provide good auto-correlation properties, and provide good cross-correlation properties. These characteristics of the modulation sequences are, according to the invention, preserved in the generated PRS.
- the number of PRSs can be increased to be the same number as the number of cell IDs, while not sacrificing the performance, which is very advantageous, since the most efficient way to avoid network planning is to make the number of PRSs equal to the number of cell IDs. It is generally most straightforward regarding system complexity to have PRS which are unique and relate to the cell ID by a one-to-one mapping.
- the invention can be used for increasing the number of PRSs to be the same as the number of cell IDs, while not sacrificing the performance.
- the number of cell IDs is 504.
- 504 PRSs can easily be achieved.
- different modulation sequences are used in different PRSs to generate multiple PRSs from the same time-frequency pattern, in addition to controlling the peak-to-average power ratio.
- the modulation sequences are the same and different, respectively, in the different OFDM symbols within a PRS.
- the same modulation sequence is used in all OFDM symbols of the PRS.
- different PRSs have and have not, respectively, different modulation sequences .
- the different modulation sequences are generated from one, or multiple, respectively, base modulation sequences through additional manipulation of the sequence elements.
- different cyclic shifts of one, or multiple, sequences are used in the different OFDM symbols within the PRS.
- cyclic shifts of two base modulation sequences of length L/2 are used in one OFDM symbol within the PRS.
- the two sequences of length L/2 are different and the two sequence shifts can be different .
- different phase modulation of one base modulation sequence and multiple base modulation sequences, respectively are used in the different OFDM symbols within the PRS.
- the cyclic shifts and/or phase modulations can be determined implicitly by the receiving node based on, for example, cell identities and/or OFDM symbol numbers.
- the cyclic shifts and/or phase modulations in different OFDM symbols can be determined from the same integer sequence defining the time- frequency positions of REs in the PRS.

- the invention can e.g. be used in a multi-user OFDM-based transmission system for high-speed downlink shared channel in cellular systems, as well as other multi-carrier systems.
- a reference signal defines a so called antenna port in a cell.
- Multiple orthogonal antenna ports can be used in a cell and they are transmitted on multiple physical transmit antennas.
- a time- frequency pattern of REs to be used for transmitting the PRS is determined.
- the time-frequency pattern normally occupies a number of OFDM symbols.
- the REs of the time-frequency pattern being within that OFDM symbol are assigned a value, which corresponds to an element in a modulation sequence.
- the modulation sequence has, according to the invention, the same length, i.e. has the same number of elements as the number of REs belonging to the time- frequency pattern within that OFDM symbol.
- a modulation sequence is applied to the REs used for the PRS.
- the same or different modulation sequences can be used in different PRSs, in addition to the same or different time- frequency patterns, to generate PRSs with low PAPRs and good auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties.
- modulation sequences can be used in different PRSs, in addition to the same or different time- frequency patterns, to generate PRSs with low PAPRs and good auto-correlation and cross-correlation properties.
- the problems being related to the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of OFDM signals are well known for a skilled person.
- a large ratio implies that the power amplifier transmitting the signal has to be backed off to prevent non-linear distortion of the transmitted signal. This will lead to lower output transmit power being available, which results in reduced signal coverage.
- the hearability i.e. the number of cells a receiving node, e.g. a UE, can detect, will be reduced.
- sequences that have good signal dynamics properties, when being used as such a modulation sequence.
- Zadoff-Chu sequences are widely utilized.
- Such a sequence can be defined as:
- a sequence according to equation 2 which is defined in the frequency domain, has a unit magnitude and hence 0 dB peak-to- average power ratio.
- the sequence should modulate a set of subcarriers and PAPR should be studied in the time-domain.
- the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of the sequence does generally not become a Zadoff-Chu sequence.
- the resulting signal still typically exhibits good signal dynamics. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the invention, the PAPR is reduced by assigning/mapping Zadoff-Chu sequences to the set of REs used for transmitting the PRS.
- Zadoff-Chu sequences have favorable correlation properties. Also, Zadoff-Chu sequences can be manipulated, e.g. by being phase modulated, such that an orthogonal set of sequences is generated, where the resulting signals have low PAPR. This is utilized in an embodiment of the invention. The constant magnitude of these sequences is also beneficial for channel estimation purposes.
- modulation sequences also other types of sequences, which are known to have good peak-to- average power properties, are used as modulation sequences.
- Golay complementary sequences, m-sequences, and QPSK sequences, respectively, are used for the modulation.
- the modulation sequences used are defined in the frequency domain and are used to modulate the subcarriers that are utilized for PRS transmission. According to the invention, if the number of REs used for PRS transmission within an OFDM symbol is L, the modulation sequence length should also be L. This has the effect that the favorable properties of the chosen modulation sequence, e.g. the PAPR properties of a Zadoff-Chu sequence, are preserved in the PRSs generated. Thus, by, in accordance with the invention, not spreading the modulation sequence over more than one OFDM symbol, the generated PRSs will also get the advantageous properties of the modulation sequences chosen.
- the length of the modulation sequence should be adapted to that number of REs.
- sequence length M in equation 2 can be selected to be smaller than the number of REs used for PRS transmission within the OFDM symbol L, i.e. M ⁇ L, and then the modulation sequence can be (cyclically) extended from M to L elements.
- the sequence length M in equation 2 can be selected to be larger than the number of REs used for PRS transmission within the OFDM symbol L, i.e. M>L, and then the modulation sequence can be shortened from M to L elements.
- multiple modulation sequences may be required. According to an embodiment of the invention, this is achieved by starting from a base modulation sequence, and then this base modulation sequence is altered by a specific manipulation, whereby a modulation sequence to be used for modulation the PRS results from the manipulation.
- a number of different modulation sequences can be generated, as will be described below.
- x[n] is the signal sample at a time instant n - 0,1,...,N-I .
- the cyclic shift of the base modulation sequence in the frequency domain can therefore be equivalently implemented by a phase modulation (phase shift) of the base modulation sequence in the time-domain.
- the phase shift in the right hand side of equation 4 is denoted linear since the exponent is a linear function of n.
- phase shift (phase modulation) in equation 4 will not alter the peak power of the signal or the average signal power, Hence, if the cyclic shift is performed over all the N subcarriers of the DFT as equation 4 defines, then the peak- to-average power ratio does not change by this manipulation. Therefore, the advantageous PAPR properties of the base modulation sequence is preserved in the modulation sequence, which will be used for modulating the PRS.
- the PRS is transmitted on a set of REs, which are represented by time-frequency indices respectively and each RE should be mapped to the Radio Frequency (RF) domain and be transmitted on a subcarrier.
- One RE corresponds to one OFDM subcarrier during one OFDM symbol interval.
- the OFDM baseband signal is symmetrically mapped around an unmodulated DC subcarrier.
- Fig. 4 illustrates the used principle for mapping a set of resource elements values * ⁇ °' 15"" ' v ⁇ x > (V even) to the subcarrier frequencies in an OFDM symbol.
- the baseband generation of an OFDM signal is typically done by a DFT.
- Fig. 5 shows the relation to the discrete domain assuming an N-point DFT is used, wherein the dots denote unmodulated frequencies. If a modulation sequence is mapped to the discrete frequencies according to Fig. 5, due to the unmodulated frequencies in the middle, the modulation sequence cannot be cyclically shifted modulo-N and the property of equation 4 cannot always be maintained. That is, the time- domain signal is not modulated by a linear phase term and the peak-to-average power may change.
- the manipulation of the at least one base modulation sequence includes performing a first and a second cyclic shift on a first and a second base modulation sequence of the same length, followed by a concatenation of these base manipulated modulation sequences.
- the first and second cyclic shifts are different from each other.
- the first and second base modulation sequences are obtained from different root modulation sequences, where a root sequence is a unique sequence not being a result of manipulation of another sequence.
- a root sequence is a unique sequence not being a result of manipulation of another sequence.
- two root sequences can be obtained from equation 2 from different indices u.
- cyclic shifts are made of two base modulation sequences Z u ⁇ k ⁇ and Z v [k]
- This modulation sequence should be mapped in an N-point DFT, such that the first (or last) L/2 elements of equation 5 are mapped to frequencies l,...,L/2 or N-L/2,...,N-I .
- different cyclic shifts of one base modulation sequence is used in the different OFDM symbols utilized for the PRS transmission.
- different PRSs utilize different sets of cyclic shifts.
- phase modulations are performed on the base modulation sequence or sequences, such that each phase modulation generates one unique modulation sequence. Due to the property of the N-point DFT, a linear phase shift in frequency domain results in a cyclic shift in the time domain according to:
- X[k] is the modulation symbol of frequency k — 0,1,...,N- 1
- x[n] is the signal sample at time instant n - 0,1,...,N-I .
- phase modulations of the base modulation sequence do not use the linear phase modulation shown in equation 6, but uses instead generally any general phase modulation method, linear and non- linear.
- different phase modulations are used in the different OFDM symbols used for the PRS transmission.
- different PRSs utilize different sets of phase modulations.
- the manipulation of the base modulation sequence is first performed, and then the values of the modulation sequence are assigned only to REs being part of the time-frequency pattern.
- this embodiment is similar to the phase modulation embodiment previously described, but only applies the phase modulation on the subcarriers that are used for transmitting the PRS.
- the sequence in equation 7 is orthogonal to the sequence Z[k] , if Z[k] has constant magnitude. Such orthogonality is beneficial if the TDOA determining method is implemented in the frequency domain.
- the manipulation i.e. the cyclic shift or the phase modulation is performed based on any one of a radio frame number, a PRS subframe number, an OFDM symbol number, a position of at least one RE in said time-frequency pattern, or a cell ID.
- a receiving node such as a UE, is able to detect the modulation sequence used without the need for signaling, since the receiving node already has knowledge of these parameters.
- any general phase modulation method i.e. not only the linear phase modulation shown in equation 7 can be used for performing this manipulation.
- the modulation sequence should modulate the REs in an OFDM symbol of a PRS subframe, where the REs are used for transmission of the PRS.
- the REs are typically represented by integer indices.
- the sequence can be mapped to these REs by mapping the modulation sequence in increasing order of the REs.
- the modulation sequence is mapped in decreasing order of the REs.
- modulation sequences are mapped in any other pre-determined order.
- Figures 6 and 7 illustrate mapping of the modulation sequences to the REs of the PRS in an increasing order of the REs (lowest sequence index k to lowest RE) .
- Figure 6 illustrates a mapping according to an embodiment of the invention, in which different root modulation sequences ZJA:] are mapped to the REs of a time-frequency pattern of a
- Figure 7 illustrates a mapping according to an embodiment of the invention, in which one modulation sequence is mapped to all of the REs used for PRS, i.e. one modulation sequence is used for more than one OFDM symbol.
- the base modulation sequence is cyclically shifted one step in every OFDM symbol.
- a set of different modulation sequences is used in the different OFDM symbols.
- Such sets of multiple sequences can be obtained from different unique base modulation sequences, e.g. by using Zadoff-Chu sequences with different indices u.
- the manipulations i.e. the cyclic shifts and/or the phase modulations of a single base modulation sequence are used to create the set of unique modulation sequences to be used in the different OFDM symbols and/or for the different PRSs.
- These manipulations are judiciously selected to reduce peak-to-average power ratios and improve correlation properties.
- different manipulations i.e. the cyclic shifts and/or phase modulations, are used for the different PRSs, to generate multiple unique PRSs from a same time-frequency pattern.
- all PRSs use the same modulation sequences, which may or may not be the same in the different OFDM symbols within the PRS. This is the typical case where the main purpose of the modulation sequences is to achieve peak-to-average power reduction, but not to generate multiple PRSs from the same time-frequency pattern.
- the PRSs are transmitted in Resource Blocks (RBs) , which belong to a subset of all the RBs in a subframe. Thus, the PRSs are not transmitted on all available RBs in the subframe.
- RB is defined as the REs of time-frequency resources within 180 kHz x 0.5 ms .
- a receiving node performs detection of a timing value to be used for determining its position.
- the receiving node e.g. a UE
- the receiving node is aware of the cell IDs of a number of surrounding cells.
- the receiving node can then utilize its knowledge of at least three cells, for determining a time-frequency pattern of REs having been used for transmitting a received signal.
- the receiving node is able to determine at least one modulation sequence having been used for modulating the OFDM subcarriers corresponding to REs of the time-frequency pattern.
- the at least one modulation sequence here has a length being equal to a number of the REs being within an OFDM symbol being part of the time-frequency pattern of the PRS. Based on the determined time-frequency pattern and the determined at least one modulation sequence, the receiving node can determine the timing value for the received signal in relation to signals from the other ones of the at least three cells.
- the receiving node Since the PRSs being generated according to the invention have such great PAPR and correlation characteristics, the receiving node is able to determine the timing value more efficiently and accurately than in prior art systems. Also, system complexity being necessary for determining the timing value is minimized, since the number of PRSs can be made equal to the number of cell IDs in the system.
- the receiving node provides one or more determined values corresponding to a Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) to its serving base station.
- the TDOA values are here determined based on the determined timing value.
- the receiving node itself utilizes the determined timing value for determining its position.
- the receiving node can utilize this when determining at least one of the time-frequency pattern and the at least one modulation sequences. That is, the receiving node uses its knowledge of at least one of these parameters, and the known relationship between these parameters and the time-frequency patterns and/or the modulation sequences and/or the manipulations having been used in the transmitting node.
- the receiving node e.g. a UE, is able to determine the PRS, i.e., both time-frequency pattern and modulation sequence (including any phase- or cyclic shifts! without any additional control signaling.
- the features characterizing the PRS are possible to be determined with the knowledge of the cell ID and possibly by additional other quantities known to the receiving node, such as a radio frame number, a PRS subframe number, an OFDM symbol number within a PRS subframe etc.
- cyclic shifts and phase modulations can be determined from the same integer sequence defining the time- frequency positions of REs in the PRS.
- the following example illustrates an embodiment, for which the sequence shifts are determined from RE indices of the time- frequency pattern and the OFDM symbol number.

- Figure 8 shows a general flow chart diagram for the method of the invention for generating a PRS according to the invention.
- a time-frequency pattern of REs to be used for transmitting the PRS is determined, wherein that time- frequency pattern includes at least two OFDM symbols.
- that time- frequency pattern includes at least two OFDM symbols.
- the second step of the method for each one of the at least two
- the assigned values correspond to elements in a modulation sequence having a length being equal to the number of REs within that OFDM symbol.
- Figure 9 shows a general flow chart diagram for the method of the invention for detecting a timing value.
- a time-frequency pattern of REs having been used for transmitting a received signal is determined.
- at least one modulation sequence having been used for modulating the OFDM subcarriers corresponding to REs of the time-frequency pattern is determined.
- the length of the at least one modulation sequences is here equal to a number of the REs of the time-frequency pattern being within an OFDM symbol being part of said time-frequency pattern.

- an entity arranged for generating a PRS according to the invention, or a transmitting node generating the PRS itself comprises determination means being arranged for determining a time-frequency pattern of Resource Elements (REs) to be used for transmitting the PRS, wherein that time- frequency pattern includes at least two OFDM symbols.
- the entity or transmitting node further comprises assigning means being arranged for assigning, for each one of the at least two OFDM symbols, respectively, a value to each one of a number of the REs being within that OFDM symbol.
- the values thereby being assigned to the number of REs of the time-frequency pattern correspond to elements in a modulation sequence having a length being equal to the number of REs used for PRS within that symbol.

- Figure 10 shows a simulation of the aperiodic auto-correlation function for the time-frequency pattern shown in figure 3 over a 20 MHz channel.
- the same Zadoff-Chu modulation sequence is used in all OFDM symbols, while the plot to the right uses modulation sequences being generated by different cyclic shifts of the base modulation sequence for each OFDM symbol. It can be seen in figure 10 that the use of different modulation sequences, being generated by using cyclic shifts, produce lower sidelobes of the auto-correlation.
- Fig. 11 shows a simulation of the aperiodic cross-correlation function for the same time-frequency pattern as simulated in figure 11. Also here, it can be seen that using different modulation sequences (the plot to the right) produce lower sidelobes also of the cross-correlation.
