具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。
首先,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
(1)终端设备:可以是能够接收网络设备调度和指示信息的无线终端设备,无线终端设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,或具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。
终端设备可以经无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)与一个或多个核心网或者互联网进行通信,终端设备可以是移动终端设备,如移动电话(或称为“蜂窝”电话,手机(mobile phone))、计算机和数据卡,例如,可以是便携式、袖珍式、手持式、计算机内置的或者车载的移动装置,它们与无线接入网交换语言和/或数据。例如,个人通信业务(personal communication service,PCS)电话、无绳电话、会话发起协议(SIP)话机、无线本地环路(wireless local loop,WLL)站、个人数字助理(personal digital assistant,PDA)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑等设备。无线终端设备也可以称为系统、订户单元(subscriber unit)、订户站(subscriber station),移动站(mobile station)、移动台(mobile station,MS)、远程站(remote station)、接入点(access point,AP)、远程终端设备(remote terminal)、接入终端设备(access terminal)、用户终端设备(user terminal)、用户代理(user agent)、用户站(subscriber station,SS)、用户端设备(customer premises equipment,CPE)、终端(terminal)、用户设备(user equipment, UE)、移动终端(mobile terminal,MT)等。终端设备也可以是可穿戴设备以及下一代通信系统,例如,5G通信系统中的终端设备或者未来演进的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)中的终端设备等。

应理解,在其它可能的情况下,网络设备可以是其它为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为方便描述,本申请实施例并不限定。示例性的,网络设备还可以包括核心网设备,核心网设备例如包括访问和移动管理功能(access and mobility management function,AMF)、用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)或会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)等。

(3)本申请实施例中的术语“系统”和“网络”可被互换使用。“至少一个”是指一个或者多个,“多个”是指两个或两个以上。“和/或”,描述关联对象的关联关系,表示可以存在三种关系,例如,A和/或B,可以表示:单独存在A、同时存在A和B、单独存在B的情况,其中A,B可以是单数或者复数。字符“/”一般表示前后关联对象是一种“或”的关系。“以下至少一项(个)”或其类似表达,是指的这些项中的任意组合,包括单项(个)或复数项(个)的任意组合。例如“A,B和C中的至少一个”包括A,B,C,AB,AC,BC或ABC。以及,除非有特别说明,本申请实施例提及“第一”、“第二”等序数词是用于对多个对象进行区分,不用于限定多个对象的顺序、时序、优先级或者重要程度。

请参阅图1a,为本申请中通信系统的一种示意图。图1a中,示例性的示出了一个网络设备101和6个终端设备,6个终端设备分别为终端设备1、终端设备2、终端设备3、终端设备4、终端设备5以及终端设备6等。在图1a所示的示例中,是以终端设备1为智能茶杯,终端设备2为智能空调,终端设备3为智能加油机,终端设备4为交通工具,终端设备5为手机,终端设备6为打印机进行举例说明的。
如图1a所示,在通信过程中,信号发送设备(或称为发射端、发射端设备)可以是网络设备,信号接收设备(或称为接收端、接收端设备)可以是终端设备;或者,信号发送设备可以是终端设备,信号接收设备可以是网络设备;或者,信号发送设备和信号接收设备都可以是网络设备;或者,信号发送设备和信号接收设备都可以是终端设备。
本申请可以应用于长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、新无线(new radio,NR)系统,或者是5G之后演进的通信系统(例如6G等)。其中,该通信系统中包括至少一个网络设备和/或至少一个终端设备。
随着用户需求的爆发式增长,大容量和高速率成为未来无线通信系统的基本特征。以图1a为例,网络设备和任一终端设备都可以作为通信信号的发送方,为了实现大容量和高速率,通信系统需要采用更宽的信号带宽和更复杂的调制方式,这将导致该发送方所发送的通信信号具有较高的峰均功率比(peak-to-average power ratio,PAPR)。
示例性的,PAPR可以通过峰值功率(Peak Power)和平均功率(Average Power)之间的数学关系确定。例如,在时域信号中,PAPR可以通过如下方式确定:
Figure PCTCN2022113502-appb-000001
目前,功率放大器(power amplifier,PA)作为通信装置的重要组件,具有较高PAPR的信号容易影响PA对信号的处理性能,例如有可能会使得PA处理得到的信号的误差向量幅度(error vector magnitude,EVM)恶化,增加接收机的误码率,造成临近信道干扰等。这些情况的出现将会导致包含有PA的通信装置的信号发射效率降低,并影响通信质量。
示例性的,较高PAPR导致的功率回退现象可以通过图1b所示方式实现。如图1b所示,直线表示理想传输函数(ideal transfer function),曲线表示实际传输函数(practical transfer function)。如图1b所示,在输入功率(input power)较低的情况下(如图1b中P in 1),理想传输函数与实际传输函数对应的输出功率(out power)基本一致,取值均在P in 1附近,并未出现功率回退(或功率回退不明显)。而在输入功率较高的情况下(如图1b中P in 2),理想传输函数对应的输出功率为P out 2,实际传输函数对应的输出功率为P′ out 2,可见,两者差值将会随着输入功率的增大而增大,进而产生功率回退,这将会影响发射功率降低,进而导致信号的传输距离变小。
为此,如何提升通信装置中PA的信号处理性能,是一个亟待解决的技术问题。下面将结合更多的附图对本申请提供的方案进行介绍。
示例性的,请参阅图2,为本申请的应用场景的一个示意图,其中,发射机可以为网络设备额或终端设备,接收机可以为网络设备或终端设备。
如图2所示,发射机可以包括如下模块:
编码模块(图中未示出),主要用于完成待传输的信息比特(记为Tx bit)的编码, 交织等功能;
发端基带处理模块,主要用于完成信息的调制,成帧,滤波整型,预失真校正等处理;
预失真(Pre-distortion,PD)模块,主要用于功率放大器的线性化预校正;
数模转换器(digital to analog converter,DAC)模块,主要用于数字信号与模拟信号的转换;
发射中射频模块,主要完成把基带信号调制到射频信号,以及信号滤波等功能;
功率放大器(PA),主要用于对信号进行功率放大;
无线信道,主要指电磁波在大气、真空、水等介质中无线传输;
有线信道,主要指光纤,铜线等介质中传输;
如图2所示,接收机可以包括如下模块:
接收中射频模块,主要用于把接收到的射频信号下变频到低频信号或者基带信号;
模拟数字转换器(analog to digital converter,ADC)模块,主要用于模拟信号与数字信号的转换;
接收基带单元模块,主要用于完成接收基带信号的恢复,包括同步,均衡,译码等处理。
如前述PAPR的实现示例可知,当发射机中的输入信号峰值较大时,会引起PA器件的信号处理性能下降,本申请提供的方案主要关注于降低PA的非线性特性对PA的信号处理性能的影响,以期提升通信质量。换言之,本申请提供的方案可以应用于图2中PD模块处理过程的改进。其中,该PD模块可以称为数字预失真(digital Pre-distortion,DPD)。
下面将结合图3a和图3b对PD模块在通信装置中的一些实现方式进行介绍。应理解,在下述示例中,以PD模块所在的通信装置可以为发射机或接收机,并且,以该通信装置包含有M个PA且分别输入M个PA的信号记为x1,x2...xM,M个PA处理后的信号经过M个天线(即图中的天线_1,天线_2...天线_M)输出为例,M为大于或等于2的整数。
一种PD模块的可能的实现方式如图3a所示,在包含有M个PA的通信装置中,通过配置M个PD模块的方式实现对M个PA(即图中的PA_1,PA_2...PA_M)的信号处理进行改进。换言之,图3a中的信号处理装置包括系数求解算法模块,该系数求解算法模块用于获取M个PA的输出信号,并基于M个PA的输出信号进行系数求解得到M个反馈信息之后,将该M个反馈信息发送至M个PD(即图中的PD_1,PD_2...PD_M),使得M个PD基于各个反馈信息对每条链路上的PA进行预失真处理,以提升M个PA的信号处理性能。
然而,在图3a所示实现方式中,虽然处理的精度很高,但是随着天线数量(一般认为天线数量与PA的数量相同)的增加,需要配置相同数量的PD的实现方式导致功耗和成本会成比例增加,复杂度也会随之上升。
一种PD模块的可能的实现方式如图3b所示,在包含有M个PA的通信装置中,通过配置M个PD模块的方式实现对M个PA(即图中的PA_1,PA_2...PA_M)的信号处理进行改进。换言之,图3b中的信号处理装置包括系数求解算法模块,通过增加时分开关模块的加入,使得该系数求解算法模块在某一时刻获取M个PA中的某一个PA的输出信号,并基于该一个PA的输出信号进行系数求解得到一个反馈信息之后,将该一个反馈信息发送至M个PD (即图中的PD_1,PD_2...PD_M)中对应的一个PD,使得该一个PD基于该一个反馈信息对链路上的PA进行预失真处理。并且,该处理过程重复执行M次,以分别提升M个PA的信号处理性能。
然而,在图3b所示实现方式中,通过时分开关切换的时分复用单路反馈结构,在一定的程度上降低了反馈支路的复杂度。但是,时分开关的设置将会存在多个输入信号之间的串扰隔离度问题,这使得获取到的反馈信号总会被其他支路干扰,从而恶化数字预失真的性能。此外,时分开关的高速切换,需要和基带多个模块之间存在一个高精度的同步机制,实现复杂。
由上述描述内容可知,图3a和图3b所示实现方式虽然在一定程度上能够校正PA的非线性以提升PA的信号处理性能,但是仍存在一些尚未解决的问题。下面将结合更多的附图对本申请提供的方案进行描述。
如图4所示,为本申请提供的信号处理装置的一个示意图,该信号处理装置位于通信装置中,该通信装置可以为终端设备或网络设备。该信号处理装置至少包括信号处理器和合路器。
在图4所示信号处理装置中,合路器用于输入M路第一信号,并输出该M路第一信号合并后的第二信号,其中,该M路第一信号分别包括M个PA的输出信号,M为大于2的整数。
在图4所示信号处理装置中,信号处理器用于基于该第二信号输出第三信号,其中,该第三信号用于对该M路第一信号的非线性信息进行补偿。
基于图4所示技术方案,信号处理装置中的合路器用于输入M路第一信号,并输出该M路第一信号合并后的第二信号;此外,该信号处理装置中的信号处理器用于基于该第二信号输出用于对该M路第一信号的非线性信息进行补偿的第三信号。换言之,信号处理装置得到的第三信号可以用于对M路第一信号的非线性信息进行预失真补偿,降低PA的非线性特性对PA的信号处理性能的影响,以期提升通信质量。
此外,相比于图3b所示实现方式中依赖于时分开关的设置,将会存在多个输入信号之间的串扰隔离度问题,这使得获取到的反馈信号总会被其他支路干扰,从而恶化数字预失真的性能;并且,图3b所示实现方式中时分开关的高速切换,需要和基带多个模块之间存在一个高精度的同步机制,实现复杂。而在图4所示信号处理装置中,通过合路器对M路第一信号进行合并处理的实现方式,可以降低成本和功耗,并降低非线性预失真的复杂度。
需要说明的是,如图4所示实现方式中,以信号处理装置可以不包括该M个PA为例,即该信号处理装置和M个PA均为通信装置中的独立设置的部分。而在实际应用中,该信号处理装置可以包括该M个PA,此处不做限定。
下面将结合更多的实现示例,对图4所示信号处理装置所连接的PD模块进行示例性描述。
在一种可能的实现方式中,信号处理装置(向PD模块)输出的第三信号包括第一子信号,该第一子信号用于对该M路第一信号的第一非线性信息进行补偿。具体地,信号处理装置中的信号处理器得到的第三信号包括用于对该M路第一信号的第一非线性信息进行补 偿的第一子信号。其中,该第一非线性信息可以包括M路第一信号对应的相同的非线性信息,以期通过该第一子信号对该M路第一信号的第一非线性信息进行预失真补偿,降低M个PA的相同的非线性特性对PA的信号处理性能的影响。
应理解,M路第一信号的第一非线性信息可以称为M路第一信号的共有非线性信息,M路第一信号的相同非线性信息,M路第一信号的非线性信息中的相同部分,M路第一信号的非线性信息中的共有部分,或者其它的描述,此处不做限定。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该信号处理器具体用于向第一预失真器输出该第一子信号,该第一预失真器与该M个PA连接。具体地,信号处理装置中的信号处理器得到的第三信号包括用于对该M路第一信号的第一非线性信息进行补偿的第一子信号,并且,该信号处理器还可以向与该M个PA连接的第一预失真器输出该第一子信号,以期通过该第一预失真器基于该第一子信号对M个PA进行预失真补偿。
可选地,图4所示的示例中的不包括该第一预失真器,即该信号处理装置和第一预失真器均为通信装置中的独立设置的部分。或者,图4所示的示例中的信号处理装置包括该第一预失真器,此处不做限定。
需要说明的是,第一预失真器的数量为N个,N为大于或等于1的整数,下面将结合更多的实现示例对N的取值的不同实现进行示例性描述。
一种可能的实现方式中,如图5a所示实现示例,N的取值可以与M的取值相同,即通过N个预失真器(记为图5a中的第一预失真器_1,第一预失真器_2...第一预失真器_N)分别基于N路第一子信号对M个PA进行预失真补偿。
另一种可能的实现方式中,如图5b所示实现示例,N的取值为1,即通过1个预失真器(记为图5b中的第一预失真器)基于第一子信号对M个PA进行预失真补偿。
另一种可能的实现方式中,除了上述实现之外,N的取值也可以为大于1且小于M。
可选地,在N的取值也可以为大于1且小于M的情况下,通过N个预失真器分别基于N路第一子信号对M个PA中的N个PA进行预失真补偿,而其余M-N个PA无需预失真补偿,以降低处理开销。例如,该M-N个PA的非线性信息指示该M-N个PA的非线性特性对信号处理性能影响较小,或者,该M-N个PA的第一非线性信息通过其它方式进行预失真补偿。
可选地,在N的取值也可以为大于1且小于M的情况下,通过N个预失真器分别基于N路第一子信号对M个PA进行预失真补偿,其中,N个预失真器中的至少一个预失真器基于第一子信号对两个或两个以上的PA进行预失真补偿。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一预失真器用于输入该第一子信号,并分别向该M个PA输出M个第一处理结果,其中,该M个第一处理结果为基于该第一子信号进行预失真处理得到。具体地,信号处理装置中的信号处理器向第一预失真器输出该第一子信号之后,该第一预失真器用于基于该第一子信号进行预失真处理得到M个第一处理结果并分别向M个PA输出M个第一处理结果,以便于该M个PA分别基于该M个第一处理结果对第一非线性信息进行预失真补偿。
在一种可能的实现方式中,信号处理装置(向PD模块)输出的第三信号包括M个第二子信号,该M个第二子信号用于对该M路第一信号的第二非线性信息进行补偿。具体地, 信号处理装置中的信号处理器得到的第三信号包括用于对该M路第一信号的第二非线性信息进行补偿的第二子信号。其中,该第二非线性信息可以包括M路第一信号对应的不相同的非线性信息,以期通过该M个第二子信号对该M路第一信号的第二非线性信息进行预失真补偿,降低M个PA对应的不相同的非线性特性对PA的信号处理性能的影响。
