Description

一种通道校准的方法及装置

技术领域
本发明涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及一种通道校准的方法及装置。
背景技术
智能多天线技术中发送与接收环路的系统中,不同天线在发送与接收过程中会产生一定的时延误差,以八通道的射频拉远单元RRU(Radio Remote Unit)为例,该RRU的八根天线中不同天线在发送与接收过程中会产生一定的时延误差。且由于时间、温度、环境的改变及器件的老化会引起各天线通道幅度和相位特性不一致。
现有通道校准技术中采用各个通道加入校准滤波器的方式来消除通道间的差异。然而,信号通过滤波器仍会产生一定的时延。校准滤波器的时延补偿法采用0时刻的时域冲击响应搬移时延,对通过校准滤波器的信号进行时延补偿。在实际应用中,0时刻的时域冲击响应搬移时延,并不能完全匹配校准滤波器所产生的时延,也就是说,仍存在时延调整误差。
可见,现有技术中的多通道的RRU校准精度低。

S105:基于所述校准滤波器的时延补偿值,所述第一时延值,和所述第二时延值,获得所述待校准通道与所述参考通道间的时延差,对所述待校准通道进行时延补偿。
在具体实施过程中,步骤S101至步骤S105的具体实现过程如下:
首先,步骤S103与步骤S104无执行的先后顺序,本领域的技术人员可以根据需要来执行相应的步骤。图1中仅示出了执行完步骤S103之后执行步骤S104的情况。具体来讲,所述校准序列具体可以为ZC(Zadoff-Chu)序列,还可以是PN序列,等等。在具体实施过程中,利用PN序列和ZC序列的特性可以将其中的任意一种序列作为所述校准序列。以八通道RRU为例,所述校准序列长度为N,每个通道接收的所述校准序列为x i,i∈[1,8],其中,下标i表示第i个通道。
然后,利用所述参考通道的校准序列与所述待校准通道的校准序列间的频域响应计算所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数。具体来讲,利用所述参考通道的校准序列与所述待校准通道的校准序列间的频域响应计算所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数,其中,所述校准滤波器系数用于表征所述待校准通道的校准滤波器。然后,分别利用所述参考通道和所述待校准通道间的频域响应确定出所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数,其中,所述校准滤波器系数用于表征所述待校准通道的校准滤波器。进一步地,利用所述校准滤波器系数,获得所述校准滤波器的时延补偿值,也就是说,获得信号经所述校准滤波器后所产生的时延值。进一步地,利用所述校准序列的自相关性,分别获得所述待校准通道和所述参考通道的时延值。进一步地,获得所述待校准通道和所述参考通道间的时延差,进而对所述待校准通道进行时延补偿,从而补偿了所述校准滤波器所产生的时延,有效提高了多通道的RRU的校准精度。
请参考图2,八通道的RRU环路的组成示意图,其中,RX/TX表示RRU 的射频收发端,共有RX1/TX1、RX2/TX2、RX3/TX3、RX4/TX4、RX5/TX5、RX6/TX6、RX7/TX7、RX8/TX8八个射频收发端,RX对应射频接收端,TX对应射频发射端,所述八通道的RRU环路中有八个收发通道,每个收发通道上至少设置一诸如低噪声放大器(Low Noise Amplifier,即LNA)或者功率放大器(Power Amplifier,即PA)的功放模块,其中,所述低噪声放大器可用于对上行信号进行放大,所述功率放大器可用于对下行信号进行放大。经每个收发通道将信号经对应通道上的功放模块将其发送至耦合器,所述耦合器可以对多通道发送过来的信号经同一校准通道发送至对应的射频接收端。
在本发明实施例中,所述RRU的每个通道的校准序列的传输过程如下:
首先,每个射频收发通道中的所述RRU的射频发射端发送校准序列;然后,所述校准序列经由功放模块后至所述耦合器,在经所述耦合器后由同一校准通道对应的射频接收端接收所述校准序列。也就是说,分别经所述待校准通道和所述参考通道的校准序列,在经所述耦合器后由同一校准通道传输至所述射频接收端。
举个具体的例子来说,在所述RRU的下行链路中,射频发射端TX1~TX8均发送校准序列,每个校准序列经所述耦合器均通过同一校准通道,由同一校准通道的射频接收端RX1接收。还可以是每个校准序列经所述耦合器通过所述校准通道,由射频接收端RX2接收,当然,该校准序列经所述耦合器通过所述校准通道,还可以由除射频接收端RX1和RX2外的射频接收端
RX3~RX8中的任一个射频接收端接收,在此就不一一赘述了。再比如,在所述RRU的上行链路中,射频发射端TX1发送校准序列x 1,该校准序列经所述耦合器通过所述校准通道后,经由射频接收端RX1~RX8接收。还可以是射频发射端TX2发送该校准序列,该校准序列经由所述耦合器通过所述校准通道后,经由射频接收端RX1~RX8接收。当然,还可以是除射频发射端TX1和TX2之外的其它的TX3~TX8中的任一个射频发射端发送该校准序列。当然,本领域的技术人员可以根据实际需要来选用射频接收端以及射频发射端,在 此就不一一举例说明了。
此外,对于本领域技术人员来说,还可以根据实际需要对除校准序列外的其它信号的传输过程进行控制,比如,经所述待校准通道的LTE信号,和经所述参考通道的另一LTE信号,在经所述耦合器后可以由同一校准通道传输至所述射频接收端。当然,还可以是其它的信号,在此就不一一赘述了。

Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000001
选取任意通道作为参考通道,参考通道的频域变换表示为X ref,待校准通道的频域变换表示为X i
然后,基于所述参考通道的频域变换,与所述待校准通道的频域变换间的比值,获得所述参考通道与所述待校准通道间的频域响应,即求取所述参考通道与所述待校准通道间的频域响应H,
Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000002

Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000003
ht(n)前一半RB采样点中有A个最大冲击响应点分别为[h(0),h(1),···h(A-1)],抽头时延为[T A(0),T A(1),...,T A(A-1)];后一半BR采样点中有B个最大冲击响应点分别为[h(N-B+1),h(N-B+2),...,h(N)],A+B=M,抽头时延为[T B(0),T B(1),...,T B(B-1)]。构成[h(N-B+1),h(N-B+2),...,h(N),h(0),h(1),...,h(A-1)]滤波器,即为所述待校准滤波器的校准滤波器系数。M阶抽头系数可以根据系统资源情况,自适应选择。
步骤S304:基于所述校准因子,获得所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数,具体包括:确定所述校准因子对应M个最大冲击响应点,其中,M个最大冲击响应点具体为所述校准滤波器系数,M为正整数,以上已进行了详述,这里就不在赘述了。
在具体实施过程中,请参考图4,步骤S103:利用所述校准滤波器系数,获得所述校准滤波器的时延补偿值,具体包括:
S401:基于所述M个最大冲击响应点,获得M阶抽头时延值;
S402:对所述M阶抽头时延值进行求和,获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值。
在具体实施过程中,步骤S401至步骤S402的具体实现过程如下:
在确定上述的M个最大冲击响应点后,获得M阶抽头时延值,具体为T coe=[T B(0),T B(1),···T B(B-1),T A(0),T A(1),···T A(A-1)]。然后,对所述M阶抽头时延值进行求和,获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值。具体来讲,所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值为:
Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000004
在本发明实施例中,除了上述使用的基于抽头系数法求和来获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值外,还可以根据信号相关法来求取,具体来讲, 请参考图5,在步骤S304:基于所述校准因子,获得所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数之后,所述方法还包括:

S504:确定共轭相关的最高高峰值点所在的位置信息;
S505:基于所述位置信息,获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值。
在具体实施过程中,步骤S501至步骤S505的具体实现过程如下:
为了确定信号经所述校准滤波器后,会有多少的时延偏移,首先,生成一段与校准序列x i符号长度N相同或者不同的相关性信号l(n),其中,l(n)可以是所述校准序列,也可以是LTE信号,等等。在具体实施过程中,将l(n)与h(n)做卷积相乘,获得卷积结果y(n):
y(n)=l(n)*h(n)
将卷积结果y(n)与信号l(n)共轭相关:
Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000005
求取相关的高峰值点所在的位置信息:
(T fil,value)=max(R ly)
进一步确定共轭相关的最高高峰值点所在的位置信息,基于所述位置信息,获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值T fil。当然,对于本领域的技术人员来说,除了上述两种求取所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值外,还可以根据需要采用其它方式来求取所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值,在此就不一一举例说明了。
在本发明实施例中,请参考图6,步骤S104:利用所述待校准通道的校准序列自相关性,获得所述待校准通道的第一时延值,以及,利用所述参考通道的校准序列的自相关性,获得所述参考通道的第二时延值,具体包括:

S603:分别确定共轭相关的最高高峰值点所在的位置信息;
S604:获得所述待校准通道的所述第一时延值以及所述参考通道的所述第二时延值。
在具体实施过程中,步骤S601至步骤S604的具体实现过程如下:
首先,生成一段与校准序列x i符号长度相同的本地序列z(n),进行时延校准。校准序列x i,i∈[1,8]分别与本地序列z(n)进行共轭相关:
Figure PCTCN2018113187-appb-000006
求取相关的高峰值点所在的位置信息:
(T i,value)=max(R zx)
进一步确定共轭相关的最高高峰值点所在的位置信息,基于所述位置信息,获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值。具体来讲,T i即为当前待校准通道i时延值,基于同样的实现过程,确定出所述参考通道的时延值为T ref
在本发明实施例中,在步骤S104:利用所述待校准通道的校准序列自相关性,获得所述待校准通道的第一时延值,以及,利用所述参考通道的校准序列的自相关性,获得所述参考通道的第二时延值之后,所述方法还包括:基于所述时延差,对所述待校准通道进行校准,以使信号经所述待校准通道校准后的时延值和所述参考通道的所述第二时延值相同。具体来讲,基于上述的方法获得所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值,所述第一时延值,和所述第二时延值之后,基于上述两种对所述校准滤波器的所述时延补偿值的获得方式,对应的在第一种获得方式中,所述待校准通道与所述参考通道间的时延差为:delay=T ref-T i-T f;在第二种获得方式中,所述待校准通道与所述参 考通道间的时延差为:delay=T ref-T i-T fil。然后,基于所述时延差,对所述待校准通道进行校准,最终使得信号经所述待校准通道校准后的时延值和所述参考通道的所述第二时延值相同,从而实现了多通道间的时延补偿,并有效提高了多通道间时延校准的精度。
在本发明实施例中,在步骤S102:利用所述参考通道的校准序列与所述待校准通道的校准序列间的频域响应计算所述待校准通道的校准滤波器系数之后,还可以对所述待校准通道进行幅度、相位的补偿,且使所有待校准通道校准成同一个通道(参考通道)的幅度相位,也就是说,所述待校准通道经校准后的幅度相位与所述参考通道的幅度相位趋于一致。进一步地,在本发明发明实施例中,利用通道间的校准序列不仅补偿了通道间的时延,而且还补偿了通道间的幅度与相位差异,提高了RRU环路的精度。
