Description

信号处理方法及相关装置Signal processing method and related device 技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及通信技术领域,特别涉及信号处理方法及相关装置。The present application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a signal processing method and a related device.
背景技术Background technique
随着通信技术的发展,第三代合作伙伴计划(third generation partnership project,3GPP)制定了下一代移动通信网络架构(next generation system),称为5G网络架构。大规模天线技术(massive multiple-iput multiple-output,Massive MIMO)是5G的关键技术之一,Massive MIMO以大规模天线阵列的方式增加天线数量,从而增加系统容量,提供更高的数据速率,提升频谱效率。With the development of communication technology, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has formulated a next generation mobile communication network architecture (called a 5G network architecture). Massive multiple-iput (multiple-output, Massive MIMO) is one of the key technologies of 5G. Massive MIMO increases the number of antennas in a large-scale antenna array to increase system capacity, provide higher data rates, and improve Spectral efficiency.
由于Massive MIMO使得无线收发机的上行、下行天线数量大量增加,因此对应的上行射频通道、下行射频通道数量也大量增加。其中,每个射频通道对传输的信号造成的影响是不同的,为了保证Massive MIMO场景下的波束赋形的性能,需要进行射频通道校正,以使得各个射频通道对传输的信号的影响尽可能相同,即使得各个射频通道的响应尽可能相同。Because Massive MIMO has increased the number of uplink and downlink antennas of wireless transceivers, the number of corresponding uplink radio frequency channels and downlink radio frequency channels has also increased significantly. Among them, each radio frequency channel affects the transmitted signal differently. In order to ensure the beamforming performance in Massive MIMO scenarios, radio frequency channel correction is required to make each radio frequency channel have the same impact on the transmitted signal as much as possible. That is, make the response of each RF channel as same as possible.
在5G NR的Massive MIMO场景下,如何进行射频通道校正,以保证波束赋形的性能,是亟需解决的问题。In the Massive MIMO scenario of 5G and NR, how to perform RF channel calibration to ensure the performance of beamforming is an urgent problem to be solved.

具体实施方式detailed description
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的具体实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请。The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain specific examples of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.
无线收发机中靠近天线的用于传输信号的部分称为射频通道,发信机中的射频通道称为发射射频通道,收信机中的射频通道称为接收射频通道。参见图1,图1示出了一种可能的发信机和收信机中的射频通道的示意图。如图1所示,不同的天线分别对应有射频通道,因此,在Massive MIMO场景下,收发信机都包括多个射频通道。The part of the wireless transceiver near the antenna for transmitting signals is called the radio frequency channel, the radio frequency channel in the transmitter is called the transmitting radio frequency channel, and the radio frequency channel in the receiver is called the receiving radio frequency channel. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a radio frequency channel in a possible transmitter and receiver. As shown in Figure 1, different antennas correspond to radio frequency channels. Therefore, in the Massive MIMO scenario, the transceivers include multiple radio frequency channels.
信号在射频通道的传输过程中,会受到射频通道的影响,即经过射频通道之后的信号的幅度、相位以及时延等参数会发生变化。由于制造工艺以及者其他客观原因,每个射频通道的特性不可能完全一致,因此,每个射频通道对于信号的影响也是不同的。During the transmission of a signal in the radio frequency channel, the signal is affected by the radio frequency channel, that is, the parameters such as the amplitude, phase, and delay of the signal after the radio frequency channel change. Due to manufacturing processes and other objective reasons, the characteristics of each RF channel cannot be completely consistent, so the impact of each RF channel on the signal is also different.
为了保证Massive MIMO场景下波束赋形的性能,需要收信机/发信机中各个射频通道对信号的影响尽可能相同。由于每个射频信道本身对于信号的影响不同,需要进行射频信道校正,以使得校正后的每个射频通道对信号的影响尽可能相同。In order to ensure the performance of beamforming in the Massive MIMO scenario, it is necessary that the impact of each RF channel in the receiver / transmitter on the signal is the same as possible. Since each radio frequency channel has different influence on the signal, radio frequency channel correction is required so that each radio frequency channel after correction has the same influence on the signal as possible.
射频通道的校正通常是通过均衡技术实现的,均衡是一种消除或减少码间串扰的信号处理或滤波技术。通常情况下,可通过均衡器实现均衡,均衡器可评估射频通道的特性,修正均衡系数以补偿射频通道带来的信号失真。其中,均衡系数是均衡器的主要参数,均衡系数不同,均衡器对射频通道的补偿效果也不同。The correction of the RF channel is usually achieved by equalization technology, which is a signal processing or filtering technology that eliminates or reduces inter-symbol crosstalk. Normally, equalization can be achieved through an equalizer. The equalizer can evaluate the characteristics of the RF channel and modify the equalization coefficient to compensate for the signal distortion caused by the RF channel. Among them, the equalization coefficient is the main parameter of the equalizer. Different equalization coefficients have different compensation effects on the RF channel.
具体的,均衡器可以通过滤波器来实现,可用于补偿失真的脉冲,修正或清除码间干 扰,能够适应不同射频通道的特性,针对不同的射频通道进行补偿。Specifically, the equalizer can be implemented by a filter, which can be used to compensate for distorted pulses, correct or remove inter-symbol interference, and can adapt to the characteristics of different radio frequency channels to compensate for different radio frequency channels.
目前,现有的射频通道校正方法通常有以下两种:At present, the existing RF channel calibration methods usually have the following two methods:
(1)将时域信号转换为频域信号,分别获取每个射频通道的响应(即每个射频通道对信号的实际影响),根据该响应对射频通道进行校正。(1) The time domain signal is converted into a frequency domain signal, and the response of each radio frequency channel (that is, the actual influence of each radio frequency channel on the signal) is obtained, and the radio frequency channel is corrected according to the response.
具体的,首先,将信号输入实际电子设备,得到实际输出信号;然后,将信号输入理想电子设备(理想电子设备中每个射频通道对信号的影响几乎相同),得到理想输出信号;将实际输出信号和理想输出信号转换到频域,得到实际频域信号和理想频域信号,并对比两者计算射频通道校正函数(包括均衡系数);最后,利用该校正函数对实际电子设备输出的信号进行校正。Specifically, first, input a signal into an actual electronic device to obtain an actual output signal; then, input the signal into an ideal electronic device (each RF channel in the ideal electronic device has almost the same effect on the signal) to obtain an ideal output signal; The signal and the ideal output signal are converted into the frequency domain to obtain the actual frequency domain signal and the ideal frequency domain signal, and the two are compared to calculate the RF channel correction function (including the equalization coefficient). Finally, the correction function is used to perform the signal output from the actual electronic device. Correction.
第(1)种校正方法,将时域信号转为频域信号以获取射频通道响应,计算均衡系数并进行通道校正,该方法对均衡器的带外信号没有约束,在电子设备通过非连续配置的载波发送信号时,对于边缘载波校正效果较差。The first (1) correction method converts time-domain signals into frequency-domain signals to obtain the RF channel response, calculates the equalization coefficients, and performs channel correction. This method has no constraints on the out-of-band signals of the equalizer. When the carrier signal is transmitted, the correction effect on the edge carrier is poor.
(2)在信号为基带信号时,即信号还未被转换为射频信号之前,根据校正函数对信号进行校正。(2) When the signal is a baseband signal, that is, before the signal is not converted into a radio frequency signal, the signal is corrected according to a correction function.
在5G新空口(new radio,NR)系统中,基带信号可能分多个子带进行传输,因此,使用第(2)种方法时,可能需要对各个子带分别进行校正,校正之后再进行拼接,拼接后转换为射频信号。这里,子带拼接会导致拼接处连续性差,影响校正效果。In a 5G new radio (NR) system, the baseband signal may be transmitted in multiple subbands. Therefore, when using the method (2), each subband may need to be corrected separately, and then stitching is performed after correction. After splicing, they are converted into RF signals. Here, the subband splicing will result in poor continuity at the splicing place and affect the correction effect.
基于上述现有技术的不足,本申请提出一种信号处理方法、相关装置及系统,可对射频通道进行校正,并且可以提高校正效果,以保证Massive MIMO场景下的波束赋形的性能。Based on the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present application proposes a signal processing method, related device and system, which can correct the radio frequency channel and improve the correction effect to ensure the performance of beamforming in Massive MIMO scenarios.

本申请中,上述第(一)点中的宽带中的频带可分为带内频带和过渡带,其中,过渡带为带内频带和带外频带之间的频带。即宽带的边缘子载波为过渡带。In the present application, the frequency band in the broadband in the above point (1) can be divided into an in-band frequency band and a transition band, where the transition band is a frequency band between the in-band frequency band and the out-of-band frequency band. That is, the edge subcarrier of the broadband is a transition band.
参见图3,图3示出了一种可能的带内频带、带外频带和过渡带的示意图。如图3所示,本申请中提到的宽带信号即基于带内频带和过渡带传输的信号。也就是说,信号传输装置传输宽带信号时,不仅基于带内频带,还基于过渡带。Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of a possible in-band frequency band, out-of-band frequency band, and transition band is shown. As shown in FIG. 3, the broadband signal mentioned in the present application is a signal transmitted based on an in-band frequency band and a transition band. That is, when the signal transmission device transmits a broadband signal, it is not only based on the in-band frequency band, but also based on the transition band.

由于信号传输装置有多个天线,每个天线分别对应有射频通道。如图1所示,信号传输装置中,射频通道为天线到信号处理模块(用于生成信号,或者,用于处理接收到的信号)之间的传输通道。Since the signal transmission device has multiple antennas, each antenna corresponds to a radio frequency channel.

在上述步骤S101中,具体的,信号传输装置确定复数个射频通道分别对应的均衡系数。这里,复数个射频通道可以是信号传输装置配置的多个天线中,部分天线对应的射频通道,或者,全部天线对应的射频通道,本申请不作限制。在一个具体的实施例中,该复数个射频通道可以是当前信号传输装置将要传输宽带信号时所用到的天线对应的射频通道。In the above step S101, specifically, the signal transmission device determines an equalization coefficient corresponding to each of the plurality of radio frequency channels. Here, the plurality of radio frequency channels may be radio frequency channels corresponding to some antennas among multiple antennas configured by the signal transmission device, or radio frequency channels corresponding to all antennas, which are not limited in this application. In a specific embodiment, the plurality of radio frequency channels may be radio frequency channels corresponding to antennas used by a current signal transmission device to transmit a broadband signal.
具体的,信号传输装置确定的射频通道的均衡系数反映了射频通道对宽带的带内信号的性能影响以及对宽带的带外信号的性能影响。其中,该宽带为上述提及的信号传输装置用于传输信号的频带,可参照前文相关描述。这里,射频通道对带内信号的性能影响可包括以下至少一项:带内信号的幅度影响、相位影响、时延影响中的一个或复数个。类似的,射频通道对带外信号的性能影响也可包括以下至少一项:带外信号的幅度影响、相位影响、时延影响中的一个或复数个。Specifically, the equalization coefficient of the radio frequency channel determined by the signal transmission device reflects the influence of the radio frequency channel on the performance of the broadband in-band signal and the performance of the broadband out-of-band signal.

本申请中,信号传输装置确定射频通道的均衡系数的方法有多种,本申请不作限制。下面详细描述一种可能的确定射频通道的均衡系数的方式。In this application, there are various methods for the signal transmission device to determine the equalization coefficient of the radio frequency channel, which is not limited in this application. A possible way to determine the equalization coefficient of the RF channel is described in detail below.
在可选实施例中,该信号传输装置可根据全带宽训练信号和全带宽环回信号,确定复数个射频通道分别对应的均衡系数;该全带宽环回信号由全带宽训练信号经过射频通道的传输得到。具体的,可根据全带宽训练信号和全带宽环回信号,确定该复数个射频通道中任意一个射频通道对应的均衡系数。其中,全带宽训练信号由上述宽带的带内信号和带外信号组成,因此,全带宽训练信号经过射频通过传输之后得到的全带宽环回信号,既可反映射频通道对该带内信号的性能影响,又可反映射频通道对该带外信号的性能影响。In an alternative embodiment, the signal transmission device may determine the equalization coefficients corresponding to the plurality of radio frequency channels respectively according to the full bandwidth training signal and the full bandwidth loopback signal; the full bandwidth loopback signal is transmitted by the full bandwidth training signal through the radio frequency channel.

Specifically, an equalization coefficient corresponding to any one of the plurality of radio frequency channels may be determined according to a full bandwidth training signal and a full bandwidth loopback signal. Among them, the full-bandwidth training signal is composed of the above-mentioned wideband in-band signal and out-of-band signal. Therefore, the full-bandwidth loopback signal obtained after the full-bandwidth training signal passes through the radio frequency can reflect the performance of the RF channel on the in-band signal The impact can also reflect the performance impact of the RF channel on the out-of-band signal.
在一种具体的实施方式中,信号传输装置可根据公式1及公式2确定复数个射频通道分别对应的均衡系数:In a specific implementation manner, the signal transmission device may determine the equalization coefficients corresponding to the plurality of radio frequency channels according to Formula 1 and Formula 2:
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000007
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000007
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000008
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000008
在公式1及公式2中,J为代价函数,T 2(n)为全带宽训练信号,T′ 2(n-i)为全带宽环回信号,c i为均衡系数,n为采样点数,N为采样点总数,M为和所述射频通道对应的均衡器的抽头数。可理解的,信号传输装置根据公式1及公式2分别确定该复数个射频通道中每个射频通道对应的均衡系数,公式1及公式2中的参数也分别对应该每个射频通道。 In Equations 1 and 2, J is the cost function, T 2 (n) is the full-bandwidth training signal, T ′ 2 (ni) is the full-bandwidth loopback signal, c i is the equalization coefficient, n is the number of sampling points, and N is The total number of sampling points, M is the number of taps of the equalizer corresponding to the radio frequency channel. It can be understood that the signal transmission device determines the equalization coefficient corresponding to each radio frequency channel in the plurality of radio frequency channels according to formula 1 and formula 2, respectively, and the parameters in formula 1 and formula 2 respectively correspond to each radio frequency channel.
在上述可选实施例中,信号传输装置确定射频通道的均衡系数之前,该信号传输装置还可根据上述宽带的带内信号和带外信号生成全带宽训练信号。这里,上述宽带的带内信号、带外信号以及全带宽信号的概念可参照上述基本概念(二)的相关描述。在一种具体的实施方式中,该信号传输装置根据所述宽带的带内信号、带外信号和带外信号增益控制因子,生成全带宽训练信号。可选的,该信号传输装置可根据公式3生成该全带宽训练信号:In the foregoing optional embodiment, before the signal transmission device determines the equalization coefficient of the radio frequency channel, the signal transmission device may further generate a full-bandwidth training signal according to the broadband in-band signal and the out-band signal. Here, for the concepts of the above-mentioned broadband in-band signals, out-of-band signals, and full-bandwidth signals, reference may be made to the related description of the above-mentioned basic concept (2). In a specific implementation manner, the signal transmission device generates a full-bandwidth training signal according to the broadband in-band signal, out-of-band signal, and out-of-band signal gain control factor. Optionally, the signal transmission device may generate the full-bandwidth training signal according to Formula 3:
T 2=S 1+αS 2   公式3 T 2 = S 1 + αS 2 Formula 3
在公式3中,T 2为该全带宽训练信号,S 1为该宽带的带内信号,S 2为该宽带的带外信号,α为带外信号增益控制因子。可参见图6A,图6A示例性地示出了T 2的生成过程。这里,α用于保证该全带宽训练信号中的带外信号的幅度满足相邻频道泄漏比(adjacent channel leakage ratio,ACLR)指标,通过公式3可使得信号传输装置传输的全带宽训练信号符合协议规定,不会影响到其他设备正常使用该带外频带传输信号的过程。可选的,α的具体取值可以预先设定,也可以根据实际情况动态变化,本申请不作限制。 In Equation 3, T 2 is the full-bandwidth training signal, S 1 is the wide-band in-band signal, S 2 is the wide-band out-of-band signal, and α is the out-of-band signal gain control factor. See FIG. 6A, the example shows the T 2 generation process. Here, α is used to ensure that the amplitude of the out-of-band signal in the full-bandwidth training signal satisfies the adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) index. The formula 3 can make the full-bandwidth training signal transmitted by the signal transmission device comply with the protocol. Provisions will not affect the normal use of this out-of-band frequency band to transmit signals to other equipment. Optionally, the specific value of α can be set in advance or can be dynamically changed according to the actual situation, which is not limited in this application.
其中,该宽带的带内信号可以为任意的频带和该宽带的频带相同的信号。在一种具体 的实施方式中,该宽带的带内信号可以为信号传输装置将要基于宽带初始发送的信号(即最初生成的带内信号,还未经由射频通道传输)或初始接收的信号(即最初通过天线接收的其他设备发射的带内信号,还未经由射频通道传输)。这里,当该宽带的带内信号为初始发送的信号,信号传输装置可以通过高层软件获取该带内信号,当该宽带的带内信号为初始接收的信号时,信号传输装置也可以通过高层软件获取该带内信号。可选的,在通过高层软件获取该带内信号时,可通过滤波的方式获取。举例说明,假设5G NR系统中小区内激活了2个载波,该2个载波的中心频点分别为ω 1和ω 2,信号传输装置可通过和该频点对应的滤波器合成匹配滤波器,该合成的匹配滤波器的系数CF为: The broadband in-band signal may be a signal having an arbitrary frequency band and the same broadband frequency band. In a specific implementation manner, the broadband in-band signal may be a signal that the signal transmission device will initially send based on the broadband (that is, an initially generated in-band signal that has not yet been transmitted through the radio frequency channel) or an initially received signal (that is (In-band signals transmitted by other devices originally received through the antenna have not been transmitted via the RF channel). Here, when the broadband in-band signal is an initially transmitted signal, the signal transmission device may obtain the in-band signal through high-level software. When the broadband in-band signal is an initially received signal, the signal transmission device may also use high-level software. Get the in-band signal. Optionally, when the in-band signal is obtained by a high-level software, it may be obtained by filtering. For example, suppose that two carriers are activated in a cell in a 5G NR system, and the center frequencies of the two carriers are ω 1 and ω 2 respectively . The signal transmission device can synthesize a matched filter through a filter corresponding to the frequency point. The coefficient CF of the synthesized matched filter is:
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000009
Figure PCTCN2019092538-appb-000009
合成匹配滤波器之后,可采用以下公式生成该带内信号S 1After the matched filter is synthesized, the following formula can be used to generate the in-band signal S 1 :
S 1=T 1*CF   公式5 S 1 = T 1 * CF Equation 5
在公式4及公式5中,T 1为全带宽初始训练信号,其生成过程可参照后续的相关描述。F 1为和ω 1对应的滤波器的系数,F 1为和ω 2对应的滤波器的系数。可参见图6B,图6B示例性示出了S 1的生成过程。 In Formula 4 and Formula 5, T 1 is the full-bandwidth initial training signal, and its generation process can refer to the subsequent related descriptions. F 1 is the coefficient of the filter corresponding to ω 1 , and F 1 is the coefficient of the filter corresponding to ω 2 . See FIG. 6B, 6B exemplary illustrates a generation process of S.
其中,该宽带的带外信号为频带在该宽带的频带之外的信号。在一种可能的实施方式中,信号传输装置可根据全带宽初始训练信号和上述带宽的带内信号,生成该宽带的带外信号。即,信号传输装置可在全带宽初始训练信号中过滤该宽带的带内信号,以生成该宽带的带外信号。这里,全带宽初始训练信号可以由信号传输装置根据该宽带的带内信号以及一定的生成规则生成,例如,全带宽初始训练信号的实际带宽为该带内信号的110%-120%等,本申请不对该生成规则作限制。可选的,该信号传输装置可根据公式6生成该宽带的带外信号:The wideband out-of-band signal is a signal whose frequency band is outside the wideband frequency band. In a possible implementation manner, the signal transmission device may generate the wideband out-of-band signal according to the full-band initial training signal and the in-band signal of the foregoing bandwidth. That is, the signal transmission device may filter the wideband in-band signal in the full bandwidth initial training signal to generate the wideband out-of-band signal. Here, the full-bandwidth initial training signal may be generated by the signal transmission device according to the wideband in-band signal and a certain generation rule. For example, the actual bandwidth of the full-bandwidth initial training signal is 110% -120% of the in-band signal. The application does not limit this generation rule. Optionally, the signal transmission device may generate the wideband out-of-band signal according to Formula 6:
