Signal processing method and device

This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office, application number 201910446399.9, and application name "signal processing method and device" on May 27, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated into this application by reference.

Technical field

The embodiments of the present application relate to communication technologies, and in particular, to a signal processing method and device.

Background technique

Orthogonal Time Frequency & Space (OTFS) technology is a new two-dimensional modulation technology. Its main technical feature is to place signals (for example: constellation symbols) in the newly created time delay-Doppler domain. Above, and through the two-dimensional dual Fourier transform and the traditional time-frequency domain equivalent transformation, and finally form the common code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (time division multiple access, TDMA) or frequency division multiple access (FDMA) waveform for transmission. OTFS technology is especially suitable for high-speed moving scenes due to its newly expanded Doppler domain. For example: a highway scene with a speed of 120km/h, or a high-speed rail scene with a speed of 500km/h, etc.

The sending device can perform time delay-Doppler domain signal mapping on the data information and pilot information, map the data information and pilot information to the time delay-Doppler domain, and then perform the OTFS encoding operation to convert the time delay-Doppler domain. The Le domain signal is mapped to the time-frequency domain, and then the dimension change processing is performed to generate the baseband waveform processing flow. Finally, the modulated waveform is sent to the receiving device through the power amplifier. That is, OTFS technology moves the digital signal processing to the time delay-Doppler domain. The time delay-Doppler domain is a two-dimensional orthogonal mapping of the time-frequency domain. Through two-dimensional orthogonal mapping, the time-frequency domain changing channel is energy-averaged in the time-delay-Doppler domain. Therefore, the equivalent channel in the delay-Doppler domain has stability, distinguishability and orthogonality of the delay-Doppler information compared with the channel in the time-frequency domain.

However, after the sending device performs time-delay-Doppler-domain signal mapping and OTFS encoding operations on the data information and pilot information to obtain the time-domain signal, the time-domain signal will have a high impact, resulting in an excessively high peak-to-average value. Ratio, causing signal distortion.

For specific explanations, please refer to the explanations of the following embodiments.

Exemplarily, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another application scenario of an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 2, the application scenario is illustrated by taking a base station (BS) and three UEs as an example, where: The three UEs are UE0, UE1, and UE2. For example, UE0 can use the DFT-S-OFDM waveform modulation method used for uplink transmission in the LTE system to communicate with the BS. UE0 can be used as a transmitting device, and the BS can be used as a receiving device. The UE1 can use the OFDM waveform modulation method used for downlink transmission in the LTE system to communicate with the BS.

Exemplarily, the foregoing application scenarios may be high-speed communication scenarios, MTC communication scenarios, high-frequency large-bandwidth communication scenarios, and the like.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned waveform between the BS and the UE is only an example, the waveform can also be any other known waveforms, and different waveforms can be selected for different modulations. When the sending device of this application generates Delay-Doppler domain signals can be modulated with arbitrary waveforms.

The time delay-Doppler domain referred to in this application refers to a two-dimensional domain different from the time-frequency domain. One dimension represents the time delay domain and the other dimension represents the Doppler domain. As an example, the The time delay-Doppler domain can be represented by a D matrix of N*M. The delay-Doppler domain may be composed of N*M resource units, and one resource unit occupies one grid of the delay domain and one grid of the Doppler domain. A grid in the delay domain is a unit τ in the delay domain, and τ represents the interval of signals in the delay domain.

The unit is seconds. N is the number of grids in the delay domain. Δf is the subcarrier spacing of frequency. Therefore, the time delay domain grid represents an interval of τ time, sending a message. Its physical meaning is that the time delay domain interval of the two-dimensional channel exhibited in the time delay-Doppler domain is the grid unit τ time to send one message. A grid of the Doppler domain is a Doppler domain unit v, v represents the interval of Doppler domain signals,

The unit is Hz, which characterizes the interval of Doppler domain signals. That is, the Doppler grid represents a frequency interval separated by v, and a message is sent. Its physical meaning is that the Doppler domain interval of the two-dimensional channel exhibited in the time delay-Doppler domain is the grid unit v frequency to send one message.

It should be noted that the above τ _r and v _r satisfy the following condition: τ _r *v _r =1. The time delay-Doppler domain and the time-frequency domain have a mapping relationship. Illustratively, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the mapping relationship between the delay-Doppler domain and the time-frequency domain according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 3, the time The delay domain can be mapped to the frequency domain, and the Doppler domain can be mapped to the time domain. It can be seen that the time delay-Doppler domain signal in the embodiment of the present application can be converted into a time-frequency domain signal, and the time-frequency domain signal is also Can be converted into time delay-Doppler domain signal. Wherein, the physical meaning of a signal at any point (for example, (n, m)) in the time-frequency domain signal is a signal on the nth frequency domain in the mth unit time.

It should also be noted that the above-mentioned M and N can take any values. For example, M can be a multiple of 2, and N can be a multiple of 14.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a signal processing method according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in Fig. 4, this embodiment relates to a sending device and a receiving device. The method of this embodiment may include:

Step 101: The sending device obtains a pilot sequence.

The pilot sequence is used by the receiving device for channel estimation. For example, the pilot sequence may include any one of a ZC sequence, any column vector of a unitary matrix, a pi/2-BPSK sequence or a pi/4-QPSK sequence, and it may also be other sequences, which will not be illustrated here. .

The pilot sequence can be preset or configured by network equipment, which can be flexibly set according to requirements. For example, for uplink transmission, the sending device is a terminal device, and the pilot sequence obtained by the terminal device may be preset or configured by a network device.

Step 102: The sending device maps the pilot sequence to the pilot region of the delay-Doppler domain, maps the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence to the guard interval of the delay-Doppler domain, and maps the data signal to the delay -Doppler domain data area to obtain time delay-Doppler domain signals.

The pilot sequence is located in all rows of the pilot region of the time delay-Doppler domain, so that the energy of the pilot sequence can be dispersed in the time delay domain of the entire pilot region.

Exemplarily, the sending device may map the pilot sequence, the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence, and the data signal into the time delay-Doppler domain as shown in FIG. 3. This embodiment divides the time delay-Doppler domain into It is the data area, the pilot area and the guard interval, so that the data signal is mapped to the data area, the pilot sequence is mapped to the pilot area, and the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence is mapped to the guard interval. For example, the time delay-Doppler domain shown in FIG. 3 can be a data area, a guard interval, a pilot area, and a data area from top to bottom. The positions of the data area, pilot frequency area, and guard interval in the delay-Doppler domain can be flexibly set. Among them, the guard interval can be set between the data area and the pilot area.

For example, the delay-Doppler domain may include N*M resource units. One dimension of the delay-Doppler domain represents time delay, and the other dimension represents Doppler. The Le domain may include the data region, the guard interval, and the pilot region. N and M are positive integers, and the transmitter may map different signals to different regions in the delay-Doppler domain. For example, the pilot area includes K*M resource units, and the sending device may map the pilot sequence to K rows of the pilot area. For example, the pilot sequence may include K elements. Through this step In the processing manner, one resource unit with an element located in one row of the pilot area can be implemented, so that the pilot sequence is located in all rows of the pilot area.

The sending device maps the pilot sequence, the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence, and the data signal into the delay-Doppler domain to obtain the delay-Doppler signal. For example, for uplink transmission, the sending device is a terminal device, and the terminal device can map the pilot sequence, the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence, and the data signal into the delay-Doppler domain to obtain the delay-Doppler signal. For downlink transmission, the sending device is a network device, and the network device can map the pilot sequence, the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence, and the data signal into the delay-Doppler domain to obtain the delay-Doppler domain signal.

Step 103: The sending device sends a transmission signal to the receiving device, where the transmission signal is obtained by processing the delay-Doppler domain signal.

The receiving device receives the transmission signal sent by the sending device.

For example, after acquiring the time delay-Doppler domain signal, the sending device may convert the time delay-Doppler domain signal to convert the time delay-Doppler domain signal into a time-frequency domain signal. Then, the time-frequency domain signal is dimensionally transformed to obtain the time domain signal, and the time domain signal is processed by waveform modulation and other processing to obtain the transmission signal, and send the transmission signal to the receiving device. The receiving device receives the transmission signal, and can obtain the time delay-Doppler domain signal according to the transmission signal. For example, the receiving device may perform processing such as waveform demodulation and time delay-Doppler domain conversion on the received transmission signal to obtain the time delay-Doppler domain signal.

Step 104: The receiving device performs channel estimation according to the time delay-Doppler domain signal and the pilot sequence.

The pilot sequence used by the receiving device for channel estimation is the same as the pilot sequence used by the sending device for signal processing. The pilot sequence can be preset or configured by the network device, which can be based on requirements Make flexible settings.

Exemplarily, the receiving device may use the delay-Doppler domain signal and the pilot sequence to perform channel estimation, obtain the equivalent channel in the delay-Doppler domain, and equalize the data signal in the data area according to the equivalent channel , Demodulation and other processing to recover the data signal sent by the sending device.

In this embodiment, the sending device obtains the pilot sequence, and the sending device maps the pilot sequence to the pilot region of the delay-Doppler domain, and maps the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence to the guard interval of the delay-Doppler domain , The data signal is mapped to the data area of the time-delay Doppler domain to obtain the time-delay-Doppler domain signal, where the pilot sequence is located in all rows of the pilot area, and the transmitting device sends the transmission signal to the receiving device. The signal is obtained by processing the delay-Doppler domain signal, and the receiving device performs channel estimation according to the delay-Doppler domain signal and the pilot sequence, so as to realize the communication between the sending device and the receiving device. The pilot sequence is mapped to all rows in the pilot area of the delay-Doppler domain, so that the energy of the pilot sequence is dispersed in the delay domain of the entire pilot area, which can avoid the delay-Doppler domain signal passing through After the OTFS encoding operation, there is an impact signal with higher energy, which can reduce the peak-to-average ratio in the communication process, reduce signal distortion, and improve communication quality.

The pilot area and guard interval included in the time delay-Doppler domain can be set in different ways. In some embodiments, the guard interval is the same as the last L row of the pilot area; L is greater than or equal to 1.

For example, the pilot area may include k*m resource units, and the guard interval is the same as the last L rows and m columns of the pilot area. Among them, k is greater than L and less than N, and m is less than or equal to M. In some embodiments, L may be greater than or equal to the delay-Doppler domain equivalent channel maximum multipath delay.

For example, as shown in Figure 6, the delay-Doppler domain is data area and guard interval from top to bottom. The number of resource units occupied by the pilot area and the data area, the guard interval and the pilot area is as described above. Since m is less than M, the data area surrounds the guard interval and the pilot area. The sending device can map the pilot sequence to the pilot area as shown in FIG. 6, map the cyclic prefix of the pilot sequence to the guard interval as shown in FIG. 6, and map the data signal to the data area as shown in FIG. 6. .

The signal processing method of the embodiment of the application maps the data signal and the pilot sequence to the time delay-Doppler domain, and performs equivalent transformation with the traditional time-frequency domain through precoding (for example, two-dimensional dual Fourier transform) , Forming the above arbitrary waveform (for example, TDMA) for transmission. In the following, the signal processing method of the embodiment of the present application will be explained in conjunction with the placement of the pilot sequence in the time delay-Doppler domain in the foregoing embodiment.

FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram of a signal processing method of a transmitting device according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 18, the OTFS preprocessing module in the modem module of the transmitting device according to an embodiment of the application maps the data signal and the pilot sequence In the time delay-Doppler domain, the time delay-Doppler domain signal is obtained, the time delay-Doppler domain signal is coded by OTFS, the time-frequency domain signal is obtained, and the time-frequency domain signal is dimensionally transformed to obtain The time domain signal is transmitted to the modulation module, and the modulation module performs waveform modulation to generate a baseband waveform. After the baseband waveform passes through the power amplifier, it is sent out through the antenna port to realize the transmission of the transmission signal.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram of a signal processing method of a receiving device according to an embodiment of the application. As shown in FIG. 19, the receiving device of an embodiment of the application receives a transmission signal through an antenna port, and the demodulation module demodulates the transmission signal. The latter received symbols are passed to the OTFS processing module of the receiving device, and the OTFS performs dimensional transformation on the consecutive M received symbols to generate a two-dimensional equivalent signal with a size of N*M (also referred to as a time-frequency domain signal). After that, OTFS decoding is performed on the time-frequency domain signal, and the decoding and the encoding of the transmitting device are an inverse transformation. For example, multiplying the conjugate matrix of an orthogonal basis matrix U1 to the left and multiplying the conjugate matrix of the orthogonal basis matrix U2 to the right to obtain a time delay-Doppler domain signal, which is a two-dimensional signal A signal of size N*M. Channel estimation is performed on the equivalent channel in the delay-Doppler domain according to the placement mode of the pilot sequence and the pilot sequence agreed by the sending device and the receiving device. The channel estimation result is used to equalize and demodulate the data signal in the time delay-Doppler domain to restore the data signal of the sending device.

Exemplarily, in the first manner, the transmitting device selects a pilot sequence of length k, the pilot sequence itself has good autocorrelation properties, and one of the properties is that the pilot sequence is cyclically shifted with different lengths The inner product is 0. For example, the ZC sequence used by the LTE pilot sequence, or any column vector of a unitary matrix of k*k dimensions, etc. The pilot sequence can be expressed as Pilot=[P _1,a ,P _2,a ,...,P _k,a ] ^T , where P _1,a , P _2,a ,..., P _k,a can be called These are the elements of the pilot sequence.

Map the pilot sequence to the 1:k row and the ath column of the pilot area. a can be any value of 1:M. That is, 1 element is placed in each row, and k elements are placed in the pilot area. The energy of the pilot sequence is evenly distributed among the elements. Place the K-L+1:Kth row and ath column of the pilot sequence to the K'-L+1:K'th row and ath column of the guard interval. a can be any value of 1:M. K'is the total number of rows in the guard interval. L needs to meet the maximum multipath delay of the equivalent channel in the Doppler domain with a delay greater than or equal to. The placement of the mapped pilot sequence can be as shown in FIG. 9.

It should be noted that the X:Yth row involved in this application specifically refers to the beginning of the Xth row and the end of the Yth row. For example, as described above, the pilot sequence is mapped to the 1:k row of the pilot area. The column a specifically refers to mapping the pilot sequence to the 1st row to the kth row of the ath column of the pilot region.

After the mapping is completed, the transmitting device performs OTFS encoding on the time delay-Doppler domain signal. A commonly used OTFS encoding representation is U1DU2 to obtain the equivalent signal in the time-frequency domain. D is the time delay-Doppler domain signal. The dimension of the signal is a matrix of N*M, U1 is an orthogonal basis matrix with a dimension of N×N, and U2 is an orthogonal basis matrix with a dimension of M×M. Orthogonal basis matrices can be selected arbitrarily, one of the most common orthogonal basis matrices is DFT/IDFT matrix. The effect achieved by the OTFS encoding is to make the OTFS time delay-Doppler domain signal mapped to the time-frequency domain.

The transmitting device selects the OTFS-encoded signal for further time-domain signal generation according to the waveform of the transmitting device, and performs processing such as waveform modulation, and transmits the transmission signal through the antenna port. For example, dimensional transformation is performed on the OTFS encoded signal. Specifically, after the OTFS encoding is completed, a two-dimensional time-frequency domain signal with a dimension of N*M will be obtained. The N*M time-frequency domain signal will be The frequency domain signals of each unit time are arranged in sequence to generate the time domain signal before waveform modulation. The modulation module performs waveform modulation to generate a baseband waveform. After the baseband waveform passes through the power amplifier, it is sent out through the antenna port, that is, the transmission of the transmission signal is realized.

The receiving device receives the transmission signal and performs processing methods such as demodulation, dimensional transformation, and OTFS decoding on the transmission signal as shown in Figure 19 to obtain a delay-Doppler domain signal based on the pilot frequency agreed upon by the sending device and the receiving device Sequence placement mode and pilot sequence. The pilot sequence in this embodiment has autocorrelation properties (that is, the inner product of the cyclic shift is 0), and the receiving device can multiply the pilot cyclic shift in the time delay-Doppler domain signal. The conjugate transposed matrix of the matrix to obtain the channel estimation result in column a, and use the channel estimation result in column a to equalize and demodulate the data signal in the delay-Doppler domain to restore the data signal of the sending device .

The principle of channel estimation in this embodiment is explained: after adopting the pilot sequence placement method of this embodiment, after the channel is passed, the pilot region in the delay-Doppler domain can be equivalent to the pilot sequence and the pilot region in the pilot region. The cyclic convolution of the two-dimensional channel impulse response in the time delay-Doppler domain. Take the time delay-Doppler domain 1: K row, the ath column as an example, the mathematical expression is as follows:

among them,

Is the received vector of the a-th column (that is, the a-th column of the aforementioned time delay-Doppler domain signal),

Is the a-th column in the two-dimensional channel matrix,

Is the pilot matrix. It can be seen that the receiving vector in the a-th column is only related to the a-th column in the two-dimensional channel matrix. This is because the pilot sequence is only placed in one column. The column vector of each column of the pilot matrix is a cyclic shift in which the column vector of the previous column moves one bit downward. This is due to the effect of placing the cyclic prefix (CP) of the pilot sequence in the guard interval.

Based on the pilot sequence placement mode and the pilot sequence agreed upon by the transmitting device and the receiving device, the received signal can be multiplied by the conjugate transpose matrix of the pilot cyclic shift matrix to the left to obtain the channel estimation of column a, the specific calculation process As follows:

Exemplarily, mode two, this embodiment is different from the above mode one in that the selected pilot sequence is different. The pilot sequence in this embodiment is another sequence that does not have autocorrelation characteristics, for example, the pilot sequence For other pilot sequences with better peak-to-average ratio suppression performance, such as pi/2-BPSK sequence, pi/4-QPSK sequence, etc.

The sending device of this embodiment adopts the same delay-Doppler domain mapping processing method as the first method to obtain the delay-Doppler domain signal, and the pilot sequence of the delay-Doppler domain signal can be placed as follows Shown in Figure 9.

After the mapping is completed, the sending device of this embodiment can use the same OTFS coding, dimension transformation, waveform modulation and other processing as the above-mentioned method 1, and then send the transmission signal through the antenna port.

The receiving device receives the transmission signal and performs processing methods such as demodulation, dimensional transformation, and OTFS decoding on the transmission signal as shown in Figure 19 to obtain a delay-Doppler domain signal based on the pilot frequency agreed upon by the sending device and the receiving device Sequence placement mode and pilot sequence. The pilot sequence of this embodiment does not need to have good autocorrelation properties by itself, and can also obtain channel estimation. It is only necessary that the DFT transform of the pilot sequence does not have a 0 value. The receiving device can obtain the channel estimation result of column a through the following formula (3), and use the channel estimation result of column a to equalize and demodulate the data signal in the delay-Doppler domain, and restore the data signal of the sending device .

The principle of channel estimation in this embodiment is explained: after adopting the pilot placement method of this embodiment, after the channel is passed, the pilot region in the time delay-Doppler domain can be equivalent to the pilot sequence and time of the pilot region. Cyclic convolution of the two-dimensional channel impulse response in the extended-Doppler domain. Take the time delay-Doppler domain 1: K row, the ath column as an example, the mathematical expression is as follows:

For the convenience of description, the expression is equivalent to the vector form:

The above matrix calculates the least squares estimation of the channel vector, and the DFT estimation of the channel can be obtained:

Finally, yes

It can be seen from the above derivation process that this processing method does not require the pilot sequence itself to have good autocorrelation properties to obtain channel estimation. It is only necessary that the DFT transform of the pilot sequence does not have a 0 value.

Exemplarily, mode three, this embodiment is different from the above mode two in that the pilot sequence is placed in a different manner. The transmitting device of this embodiment maps the data signal and the pilot sequence to the delay-Doppler domain. To obtain the time delay-Doppler domain signal, the pilot sequence of the time delay-Doppler domain signal can be placed as shown in FIG. 17, that is, in this embodiment, the user-specific pilot sequence is used to occupy all the pilot regions. .

The receiving device receives the transmission signal and performs processing methods such as demodulation, dimensional transformation, and OTFS decoding on the transmission signal as shown in Figure 19 to obtain a delay-Doppler domain signal based on the pilot frequency agreed upon by the sending device and the receiving device Sequence placement method and pilot sequence, the receiving device can multiply a matrix by the two ends of the following equation (7)

Do IDFT transform, h _a may be obtained for the estimate, i.e., a first column to obtain the channel estimation result by the first column of a channel estimation result of the delay - the data signals Doppler domain equalization, demodulation, resume sending The data signal of the device.

The principle of channel estimation in this embodiment is explained: after adopting the pilot placement method of this embodiment, after the channel is passed, the pilot region in the time delay-Doppler domain can be equivalent to the pilot sequence and time of the pilot region. Cyclic convolution of the two-dimensional channel impulse response in the extended-Doppler domain. As shown in Figure 17, the pilot sequence of the pilot area is located in any row or column of the pilot area, and the pilot matrix is expressed in the form of a column vector:

Each element can be zero or non-zero. Similar to the processing method of the receiving device in the second mode, taking the 1:K row and the ath column of the delay-Doppler domain as an example, the mathematical expression is as follows:

Doing DFT transformation on the equation, we can get:

The above formula expands the received signal vector and converts it into the representation form of the row received signal. The equivalent expression of the received signal value of each row can be obtained as:

The above-mentioned signal processing method in the embodiment of the present application may be applicable to high-speed mobile communication scenarios. For example: a communication scene on a highway with a speed of 120km/h, a communication scene on a high-speed rail with a speed of 500km/h, etc.

The above-mentioned signal processing method in the embodiment of the present application can move the digital signal processing to the time delay-Doppler domain. The time delay-Doppler domain and the time-frequency domain construct a bridge through a two-dimensional orthogonal transformation. Therefore, the time delay-Doppler domain is a two-dimensional orthogonal mapping of the time-frequency domain. Through two-dimensional orthogonal mapping, the time-frequency domain changing channel is energy-averaged in the time-delay-Doppler domain. Therefore, the equivalent channel in the delay-Doppler domain has the following three characteristics compared with the channel in the time-frequency domain: Stability: the channel experienced by each signal in the delay-Doppler domain is almost completely Same; time delay-Doppler information discernibility: that is, in the time delay-Doppler domain, the channel shows a two-dimensional expansion. In the time delay domain, you can see the channel's multipath information. In the Le domain, you can see the Doppler spread of the channel; Orthogonality: Delay-Doppler channels are orthogonal, that is, the information of each path of the channel is not related to the information of other paths.

Due to the distinguishability of Doppler expansion (traditional transmission methods can only show distinguishable multipath information), in high-speed moving scenes, the distinguishable Doppler expansion can be eliminated or reduced as much as possible through equalization methods. Inter-signal interference is suppressed, thereby improving system performance.

One or more of the pilot area, the placement mode of the pilot sequence, the pilot sequence, or the protection area involved in the signal processing method of the embodiment of the present application may be preset, which does not require additional signaling, and It may be agreed by the sending device and the receiving device through signaling. This application uses the following embodiments to explain the implementation of the sending device and the receiving device through the signaling agreement.
