- the present invention relates to a receiving device, a transmitting / receiving terminal, a propagation delay time measuring method, and a computer program.
- OFDM orthogonal frequency division modulation
- LTE Long Term Evolution
- 3GPP 3rd Generation Partnership Project
- OFDM is a scheme in which a band to be used is divided into a plurality of subcarriers, and each data symbol is assigned to each subcarrier for transmission. Since subcarriers are arranged so as to be orthogonal to each other on the frequency axis, OFDM is excellent in frequency utilization efficiency. In addition, since each subcarrier has a narrow band, the influence of multipath interference can be suppressed, and high-speed and large-capacity communication can be realized.
- OFDM orthogonal frequency division modulation
- a data transmission system using OFDM generally, on the transmitting side, as shown in FIG. 13, known pilot symbols other than the data symbols are inserted at intervals in the frequency direction and the time direction.
- the amplitude / phase fluctuation of the pilot symbol is detected from the received signal, and the data symbol included in the received signal is demodulated based on the amplitude / phase fluctuation.
- the amplitude / phase fluctuation detected from the pilot symbols is called a channel estimation value.
- the cyclic prefix (CP) part is removed from the received signal, and the pilot symbol is extracted by performing fast Fourier transform (FFT: Fast Fourier Transform) according to the effective symbol length of OFDM. Then, the extracted pilot symbol is collated with a known pattern. Thereby, the amplitude and phase fluctuations of the symbol are obtained. This is the channel estimation value.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transform
- a channel domain estimated value converted into the time domain using an inverse fast Fourier transform is called a delay profile.
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transform
- the part with a low level of the delay profile is a part where there is no propagation path or the propagation path is weak, and the noise power is dominant.
- the noise component can be removed from the original channel estimation value by returning to the frequency domain using FFT. Further, the propagation delay time can be obtained from the power peak position of the delay profile.
- the obtained propagation delay time is used for transmission timing control. For example, when a mobile station that transmits / receives information to / from a base station through wireless communication executes transmission processing in accordance with the timing of a received signal from the base station, the transmission signal is twice the one-way propagation time at the base station. Received with a time delay of. Since the base station transmits / receives information to / from a plurality of mobile stations, if the distance between the base station and each mobile station is different, the received signals from each mobile station overlap in time, causing interference.
- the mobile station MS1 receives the reception frame A from the base station BS and transmits the transmission frame a to the base station BS. Further, the mobile station MS2 receives the reception frame B from the base station BS and transmits a transmission frame b to the base station BS. At this time, if the mobile stations MS1 and MS2 transmit the transmission frames a and b as they are in accordance with the timing of signal reception from the base station BS, the respective transmissions from the mobile stations MS1 and MS2 as shown in FIG. The signal is received at the base station BS with a time delay of twice the one-way propagation time.
- the propagation delay time of the reception frame A in the mobile station MS1 is t 1 and the propagation delay time of the reception frame B in the mobile station MS2 is t 2 .
- the transmission frame a from the mobile station MS1 is received by the base station BS with a delay of time 2t 1 which is twice the time required for propagation from the base station BS to the mobile station MS1.
- the transmission frame b from the mobile station MS2 is received by the base station BS with a delay of time 2t 2 which is twice the time required for propagation from the base station BS to the mobile station MS2.
- the propagation delay time measured at the mobile station MS1 is t 1 and the propagation delay time measured at the mobile station MS2 is t 2 .
- the mobile station MS1 advances the transmission start timing of the transmission frame a for the reception frame A by a time twice as long as the measured propagation delay time t 1 .
- the transmission frames from the mobile station MS1 and the mobile station MS2 are received without causing time overlap in the base station BS, and thus without causing interference.
- a mobile station a transmission / reception terminal used as a mobile station, devices used as a receiving unit thereof, and the like are collectively referred to as “reception devices”.
- a channel estimation value is obtained.
- the CP is removed from the received signal (step S21), the FFT according to the effective symbol length of OFDM is performed (step S22), and the pilot symbol is extracted (step S21). S23). The extracted pilot symbol is checked against a known pattern, and the amplitude / phase fluctuation of the symbol is obtained to obtain a channel estimation value (step S24).
- the channel estimation value in the frequency domain is converted to the time domain by IFFT (step S26), and the power peak position is detected from the obtained delay profile (step S27).
- the propagation delay time can be obtained from this power peak position.
- the value of the delay profile is replaced with “0” (step S28), and the frequency component is returned to the frequency domain using FFT (step S29), so that the noise component from the original channel estimation value is obtained. Can be removed.
- the channel estimation value that is, the number of pilot symbols may not be a power of two.
- an IFFT having a size larger than the number of samples of the channel estimation value is executed instead of performing the IFFT of the number of samples of the channel estimation value.
- the channel estimation value is left-justified, and the channel estimation value is interpolated rather than padding zero when the number of samples is insufficient (step S25).

- Patent Document 1 a technique for removing the influence of noise due to a known sample arrangement pattern by performing IFFT on a sample of a known pattern included in a received signal is also known (for example, Patent Document 1).
- FIG. 19 shows an example of the channel estimation value in the frequency domain.
- the I component is indicated by a solid line and the Q component is indicated by a dotted line.
- FIG. 21 shows the result of extrapolation with the values of the second and second points, and the interpolation with the values of the 202nd and 255th points for the 203rd to 254th points.
- FIG. 22 shows a power delay profile obtained by performing IFFT on the channel estimation value after interpolation shown in FIG.
- the power near the 150th point is lower than that in FIG.
- a power peak occurs. This is because the channel estimation value is interpolated with a smooth line in the frequency domain, and the signal power due to the interpolation is concentrated at the beginning and end of the delay profile.
- the power peak at the beginning of the delay profile shown in FIG. 22 is a false power peak that has occurred due to the extrapolation and interpolation processes described with reference to FIG.

For example, when the interpolation portion is 1/5 to 1/4 of the IFFT size, it is preferable that the size is about 1/64 of the IFFT size. When the IFFT size is 256, it is about 4 samples. On the other hand, if the interpolation part is close to 1/2 of the IFFT size, the first 2 to 3 samples of the time waveform are calculated. If the interpolation part is sufficiently smaller than the IFFT size, the signal power of the interpolation part may not be taken into consideration.
