Abstract
Techniques are provided to support fast frequency hopping with a code division multiplexed (CDM) pilot in a multi-carrier communication system (e.g., an OFDMA system). Each transmitter (e.g., each terminal in the system transmits a wideband pilot on all subbands to allow a receiver (e.g., a base station) to estimate the entire channel response at the same time. The wideband pilot for each transmitter may be generated using direct sequence spread spectrum processing and based on a pseudo-random number (PN) code assigned to that transmitter. This allows the receiver to individually identify and recover multiple wideband pilots transmitted concurrently by multiple transmitters. For a time division multiplexed (TDM)/CDM pilot transmission scheme, each transmitter transmits the wideband pilot in bursts. For a continuous CDM pilot transmission scheme, each transmitter continuously transmits the wideband pilot, albeit at a low transmit power level. Any frequency hopping rate may be supported without impacting pilot overhead.
Description
The cross reference of related application
That the application requires to submit on May 12nd, 2003, be entitled as " Fast FrequencyHopping with a Code Division Mulitplexed Pilot in an OFDMASystem ", U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.60/470 co-pending; 107 priority, the latter incorporates into here by reference.
Invention field
The present invention relates generally to communication, more particularly, relate to the fast frequency-hopped technology of in OFDM (OFDMA) communication system, supporting to utilize code division multiplexing (CDM) pilot tone.
Technical background
In FHSS (FHSS) communication system, in different time intervals, on different frequency subbands or subcarrier, send data, this time interval is also referred to as " hop period ".These frequency subbands can be provided by other mode of OFDM (OFDM), other multi-carrier modulation technology or some.Use FHSS, data are sent with pseudorandom mode from a subband hopping to another subband.This frequency hopping has realized frequency diversity, and makes the data transmission can keep out harmful path effects better, for example, and narrow band interference, obstruction and decline etc.
The OFDMA system has used the OFDM technology, can support a plurality of users simultaneously.For frequency-hopped ofdm A system, use specific frequency hopping (FH) sequence of distributing to each user that this user's data is sent.The FH sequence table is shown in and is used for the particular sub-band that data are sent in each hop period.Can use different FH sequences to send a plurality of transfer of data of a plurality of users simultaneously.These FH sequences are defined as mutually orthogonal, thereby make that each subband only sends use by data in each hop period.Through using the FH sequence of quadrature, can avoid disturbing in the sub-district, and when obtaining the frequency diversity benefit, a plurality of data can the phase mutual interference between sending yet.
The OFDMA system can be deployed as has a plurality of sub-districts, and wherein, the sub-district is often referred to base station and/or its overlay area.Data transmission meeting on the given subband in a sub-district is sent another data on the same subband in the neighbor cell and is caused interference.In order to make the presence of intercell interference randomization, the FH sequence definition with each sub-district is pseudorandom for the FH sequence with respect to neighbor cell usually.Through using pseudorandom FH sequence, realized interference diversity, and some user's data are sent and will in the sufficiently long time period, be observed the average interference of sending from other user's data in other sub-districts in the given sub-district.
At arbitrary given time, presence of intercell interference alters a great deal with different sub-band.Consider the difference of disturbing on the different sub-band, when the data transfer rate of selecting data to send, use a surplus usually.If interference variations property is very big, then generally need a big surplus to obtain the low Packet Error Rate (PER) that data are sent.Big surplus causes the significantly reduction of the data transfer rate of data transmission, and this has limited power system capacity.
Frequency hopping is presence of intercell interference and reduce required surplus on average.Increase frequency hopping rate and can bring better interference average, and reduce required surplus.For some through multi-hop frequently technology data are encoded and can not use other technological transport-type such as automatic repeat request (ARQ), fast frequency-hopped speed is for alleviating harmful disturbing effect advantageous particularly.
Frequency hopping rate generally receives the restriction of channel estimating demand.For the OFDMA system, data are sent the channel response of each used subband and are estimated by receiver that usually the channel response of this subband is estimated to be used to the data symbol that on this subband, receives is carried out coherent demodulation then.Usually according to the frequency pilot sign that on this subband, receives, accomplish the channel estimating of each subband.In the communication channel of decline fast, rate of fading stops receiver that the frequency pilot sign that on same subband, receives from previous frequency hopping is made up usually.Therefore, in order independently the channel response of each hop period to be estimated, need in this hop period, send the frequency pilot sign of sufficient amount so that receiver can obtain channel response estimation fully accurately.These frequency pilot signs have been represented the fixed overhead of each hop period.In this case, increase frequency hopping rate and also can increase pilot-frequency expense.
So, need to support fast frequency-hopped in the prior art and don't can increase the technology of the pilot-frequency expense of OFDMA system.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is provided at the fast frequency-hopped technology of supporting to utilize the CDM pilot tone in the multi-carrier communications systems (for example, OFDMA system).Each transmitter in the system (for example, each terminal) sends broadband pilots on all subbands, so that receiver (for example, base station) can be estimated whole channel response simultaneously.The broadband pilots of each transmitter can use DSSS to handle and generate based on the pseudorandom of distributing to this transmitter (PN) sign indicating number.Like this, receiver just can be discerned and recovers a plurality of broadband pilots of being sent simultaneously by a plurality of transmitters individually.For Time Division Multiplexing/CDM pilot tone send mode, each transmitter sends broadband pilots with burst mode.For continuous CDM pilot sending method, each transmitter sends broadband pilots continuously, although transmitted power level is very low.
At the transmitter place, with the PN sign indicating number of distributing to this this transmitter at least one frequency pilot sign is handled, to obtain the pilot chip sequence of a broadband pilots.(for example, OFDM) deal with data symbol is to obtain the chips sequence according to multi-carrier modulation.If send data symbol with frequency hopping, then the used concrete subband of data symbol is confirmed by the FH sequence of distributing to this transmitter in each hop period.For TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode, with the chips sequence pilot chip sequence is carried out time division multiplexing, thereby obtain pilot tone and chips sequence through TDM, then it is done further processing and transmission.For continuous CDM pilot tone send mode,,, then it is handled and sends with pilot tone and the chips sequence after the acquisition combination with chips sequence and the addition of pilot chip sequence.
At the receiver place, at first obtain the reception chip sequence.For TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode, carry out demultiplexing to receiving chip sequence, thereby obtain to receive the pilot chip sequence and receive the chips sequence.The PN sign indicating number of this receiver is distributed in use; Handle receiving pilot chip sequence (for TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode) or receiving chip sequence (for continuous CDM pilot tone send mode), to obtain from the time domain channel gain estimation of many propagation paths of transmitted from transmitter to receiver.Rake receiver can be used for carrying out pilot tone at the receiver place and handle.Channel gain is estimated to do further processing (for example, carrying out interpolation operation), and it is carried out conversion, estimate with the domain channel response that obtains a plurality of subbands.
For continuous CDM pilot tone send mode, can carry out Pilot Interference elimination (estimating) to receiving chip sequence, thereby obtain to receive the chips sequence based on channel gain.For these two kinds of pilot tone send modes; According to the multicarrier demodulation mode (for example; For OFDM) and the channel response estimation; Handle receiving chips sequence (if any) or receiving chip sequence, to obtain the data recovered symbol, this data symbol is the estimation by the data symbol of transmitter transmission.If send data symbol through frequency hopping, the same FH sequence of then being used by the transmitter place in the particular sub-band of each hop period acquisition restore data symbol is confirmed.
Technology described herein has various advantages, comprises can supporting any frequency hopping rate and can not influencing pilot-frequency expense.In fact, frequency hopping rate can be as OFDM symbol in each hop period piece.Fast frequency-hopped speed can be improved and disturbs average and reduce required surplus, and the latter can improve the utilization of power system capacity.

In the explanation below, " channel gain estimation " is to estimate from the time domain of the complex channel gain of the propagation path of transmitted from transmitter to receiver." channel frequency response estimation " (or briefly, " channel response estimation ") is that the frequency domain of channel response of the particular sub-band of the communication channel between the transmitter and receiver is estimated (this communication channel possibly comprise a plurality of propagation paths).Can estimate to handle and conversion to channel gain, estimate that hereinafter will be made description to this thereby obtain channel response." channel estimating " system refers to that the channel gain of communication channel is estimated, channel response is estimated or the estimation of some other type.
The OFDMA system adopts OFDM, and OFDM is the multi-carrier modulation technology that whole system bandwidth efficient ground is divided into a plurality of (N) orthogonal subbands.These subbands also are called as voiced band (tone), subcarrier, frequency band (bin) and frequency subchannels usually.Use the OFDM technology, each subband is associated with the respective sub that data available is modulated.In some ofdm systems, N is only arranged

GuardFor the sake of simplicity, following all N of description hypothesis subband all can be used for the data transmission.
Fig. 1 representes the conventional pilot tone send mode 100 of frequency-hopped ofdm A system.Pilot tone and data that Fig. 1 shows on one time of the frequency plane are sent, and wherein, vertical axis is represented frequency, the trunnion axis express time.In this example, N=8 is for this 8 sub-band is distributed label 1 to 8.Can define maximum 8 Traffic Channels, wherein, in each hop period, each Traffic Channel is used a subband in these 8 subbands.Hop period is the duration that on given subband, is spent, and can it be defined as the duration that equals one or more OFDM symbols.
The FH sequence that each Traffic Channel is all different with one is associated.(k T) generates the FH sequence of all Traffic Channels, and wherein, k representes Traffic Channel quantity, and T is to be the system time of unit representation with the hop period can to use a FH function f.N different FH sequence can be used this FH function f, and (k, T) N the different value of middle k generates.The FH sequence table of each Traffic Channel is shown in the particular sub-band that is used for this Traffic Channel in each hop period.For clarity sake, Fig. 1 shows the subband that is used for a Traffic Channel.As can be seen from Figure 1, this Traffic Channel is with pseudorandom mode frequency hopping between by its determined subband of FH sequence.
For the pilot tone send mode 100 of routine, in each hop period, one group P frequency pilot sign (representing with filled box) sends with the mode of carrying out TDM with one group of data symbol (using twill box indicating), wherein, and P >=1.Usually, P allows receiver individually channel response to be estimated the quantity of required frequency pilot sign in each hop period.P frequency pilot sign represented the needed fixed overhead of each hop period.When hop period shortened, this fixed overhead shared ratio in transmission will become big.Therefore, frequency hopping rate receives the restriction of pilot-frequency expense.
Here provide and in multi-carrier communications systems, be applicable to fast frequency-hopped pilot tone send mode.These pilot tone send modes are highly suitable in the reverse link, but also can be used for forward link.For clarity sake, the special reverse link that is directed against in the OFDMA system is described these pilot tone send modes below.
Fig. 2 shows the TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode 200 of frequency-hopped ofdm A system.For this pilot tone send mode, each user sends a broadband pilots, and this broadband pilots is to have carried out time-multiplexed with this user's data transmission.On all N subband, send this broadband pilots, thereby receiver (for example, base station) can be estimated whole channel response simultaneously.This broadband pilots also can be used the direct sequence spread spectrum to handle and in time domain, generate, and is as mentioned below.

For TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode, pilot-frequency expense is by the pilot tone duration T
pWith pilot period T
wDecision, then both depend on some characteristic (for example, coherence time) of communication channel again.This pilot tone send mode can be supported any frequency hopping rate, and don't can influence pilot-frequency expense.In fact, it is equally fast that frequency hopping rate can look like the interior OFDM symbol (that is, the character rate frequency hopping) of each hop period, and for foregoing reason, this is very gratifying.
As shown in Figure 2, each user's broadband pilots is sent with burst form, and can not disturb this user's data to send.The interference of all users' pilot certificate in the sub-district, the user can at the same time at interval in their broadband pilots of transmission.In this case, all users' broadband pilots can not disturb their data to send in each sub-district.In addition, send also not can the phase mutual interference for all user's data in each sub-district, and this is because these users have used the FH sequence of quadrature.
All users send broadband pilots simultaneously and mean that these broadband pilots are with the phase mutual interference.In order to alleviate the interference between the pilot tone, can carry out " orthogonalization " to all users' broadband pilots.Can be accomplished in several ways the orthogonalization of broadband pilots, some modes of facing wherein down describe.
In one embodiment, each user's frequency pilot sign is used the unique orthogonal code of this user is carried out " covering ".Covering is a kind of processing, wherein, multiply by frequency pilot sign to be sent with all W chip of a W chip orthogonal code, thereby obtains W covering chip, then it is done further processing and transmission.This orthogonal code can be Walsh (Walsh) sign indicating number, Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor OVSF (OVSF) sign indicating number, Quasi Orthogonal Function (QOF) etc.Then, use all users' public PN sign indicating number, each user's covering pilot tone is spread on all N subband.Usually, any PN sign indicating number that has usually a characteristic relevant with good PN sign indicating number (the low cross-correlation at for example, smooth spectral response, different time side-play amount place or zero cross-correlation etc.) may be used to spread spectrum.PN sign indicating number also can be known as scrambler or other term.
In another embodiment, each user's frequency pilot sign uses for the unique PN sign indicating number of this user and expands in the enterprising line frequency spectrum of all N subband.For this embodiment, the PN sign indicating number both had been used for orthogonalization, also was used for spread spectrum.The specific PN sign indicating number of user can be defined as the different time skew of public PN sign indicating number, and the different time that is similar to the used short PN code of different base station in IS-95 and the IS-2000 system squints.In this case, distribute a unique time migration for each user, and this user's PN sign indicating number can be identified by the time migration that is distributed.This public PN sign indicating number can be expressed as PN (n), and the time migration of distributing to user x can be expressed as Δ T
x, and the PN sign indicating number of user x can be expressed as PN (n+ Δ T
x).
For these two embodiment, each user's broadband pilots is code division multiplexing and time-multiplexed.For clarity sake, describe to these embodiment below, wherein, use the specific PN sign indicating number of user that each user's broadband pilots is carried out spread spectrum, so that the Pilot Interference from other user is suppressed.
In Fig. 2, broadband pilots is sent with CDM, and data are sent and sent with OFDM.Describe in the face of the processing at the transmitter and receiver place in the CDM/TDM pilot tone send mode down.
Fig. 3 representes the CDM pilot tone send mode 300 of frequency-hopped ofdm A system.For this pilot tone send mode, each user sends the broadband pilots of stack (that is, adding) on data are sent continuously.In addition, broadband pilots is also sent on all N subband, and receiver (for example, base station) can be estimated whole channel response.
Continuous broadband pilots can be sent with low level, still makes receiver can obtain the good quality channel response simultaneously and estimates.This is because receiver can be integrated/accumulate a plurality of reception pilot chip, thereby realizes very big signal processing gain according to the CDM integration, and this is similar to the gain that in cdma system, obtains.It is possible that a plurality of reception chips are integrated, and this is to be concerned with because of communication channel in a plurality of OFDM symbol periods.
Each user's continuous wide band pilot tone is interfering with each other.Be similar to TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode, can carry out orthogonalization to all users' broadband pilots, thereby alleviate the interference between pilot tone and the pilot tone.As stated, realize that the orthogonalization and the spread spectrum of all users' broadband pilots can be used (1) different orthogonal codes and public PN sign indicating number, or (2) different specific PN sign indicating number of user.For clarity sake, following each user's of explanation supposition broadband pilots uses the specific PN sign indicating number of user to carry out orthogonalization and spread spectrum, thereby suppresses the Pilot Interference from other user.
Each user's continuous wide band pilot tone also can disturb this user's data to send and other user's data is sent.The interference of this pilot certificate as shown in Figure 3, the data symbol square frame is the band shade, the expression broadband pilots is superimposed upon on these data symbols.Yet as previously mentioned, each user's continuous wide band pilot tone only needs a spot of transmitting power.Therefore, because total Pilot Interference that all users' broadband pilots causes each user's data transmission to observe is very little.In addition, the interference that is caused by broadband pilots estimated and eliminated to receiver can, is explained below.
For continuous CDM pilot tone send mode (and TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode), pilot-frequency expense is confirmed with the ratio that data are sent used transmission power level by the used transmission power level of broadband pilots.Therefore, pilot-frequency expense is fixed, and does not rely on frequency hopping rate.CDM pilot tone send mode can be supported any frequency hopping rate (comprising the character rate frequency hopping) continuously, and can not influence pilot-frequency expense.
For TDM/CDM pilot tone send mode and continuous CDM pilot tone send mode, each user's broadband pilots is sent with the predetermined electric power level usually.Yet, also can send broadband pilots by the power level of closed power control loop control.
