A kind of synchronizing signal obtains and starting point is determined method and apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, relate in particular to portable terminal and determine the synchronizing signal starting point and receive the technology that obtains synchronizing signal.
Background technology
When portable terminal inserts sub-district (being cell initial search) or portable terminal switch in the minizone in the process of (being the sub-district gravity treatment), because the crystal oscillator frequency of portable terminal and base station may exist than mistake, thereby cause the frequency of portable terminal and the frequency of base station to have bigger frequency shift (FS) (frequency deviation).If have bigger frequency deviation between base station and the portable terminal, will influence the correct transmission and the reception of signal between base station and the portable terminal, and can cause interference to the signal of other portable terminal and base station communication.Therefore, in cell initial search and cell reselection process, need to carry out the frequency deviation adjustment,, reduce system interference with the receive frequency of calibration portable terminal.
At LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) designed synchronizing signal in the system, synchronizing signal comprises: primary synchronization channel PSCH (Primary Synchronization Channel) signal and auxiliary synchronization channel SSCH (Secondary Synchronization Channel) signal.Can carry out frequency offset estimating by these two kinds of synchronizing signals in system: utilize the PSCH signal to carry out the frequency deviation rough estimate, frequency deviation rough estimate scope is [15KHz, 15KHz]; Utilize PSCH and SSCH signal to carry out the smart estimation of frequency deviation, the smart estimation range of frequency deviation is [2330Hz, 2330Hz].As shown in Figure 1, the base station includes 20 slot (time slot) in 1 frame data that portable terminal sends, and average every field has 10 slot.In every field data, include certain sampling point data, for example under the situation for the 1.4MHz bandwidth, include 9600 sampling point data in the field data.Usually comprise 7 OFDM (Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing among each slot, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbol, in an OFDM symbol, include CP (Cyclic Prefix, Cyclic Prefix) signal and the data behind the CP signal.Last OFDM symbol of the slot11 of last the OFDM symbol of the slot1 of field data and later half frame data before the SSCH signal data is arranged in; The 3rd the OFDM symbol of the slot12 of the 3rd the OFDM symbol of the slot2 of field data and later half frame data before the PSCH signal data is arranged in.
Receive the Frame of base station transmission at portable terminal after, prior art obtains PSCH, the SSCH signal in the Frame, and utilizes the PSCH that obtains, the concrete grammar that the SSCH signal carries out frequency offset estimating, and is shown in Figure 2 as flow process, comprises the steps:
S201: portable terminal is made related operation with the several PSCH sequences in the terminal and the frame data of reception respectively after the field data that receive the base station transmission, obtain correlated series respectively.
Portable terminal can not be determined the particular location of PSCH signal in frame at once after the field data that receive the base station transmission, also just can not accurately obtain the PSCH sequence in PSCH signal and the PSCH signal.And in predefined several PSCH sequences is identical in the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal and the portable terminal.These several predefined PSCH sequences of used for mobile terminal are made related operation with the field data that receive respectively such as PSCH0, PSCH1, PSCH2, obtain correlated series CH0, CH1, CH2 (as shown in Figure 3) respectively.
S202: the maximum in the correlated series of determining to obtain.
The correlated series that calculates is made up of a series of correlation point, and the number of correlation point is identical with sampling point data number in the field data.From each correlated series that calculates, find out the maximum related value point.For example, in each correlation of the CH0 of Fig. 3 schematic diagram, CH1, CH2 sequence, the 2200th correlation of determining among the CH2 is the maximum in all correlations.
S203: determine that the pairing PSCH sequence of maximum is the PSCH sequence of PSCH signal in the field data that portable terminal receives.
For example, the 2200th correlation among the CH2 of Fig. 3 is the maximum in all correlations, determines that then the PSCH2 sequence of making related operation with Frame is the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal that receives of portable terminal.Promptly because the PSCH2 sequence is identical with PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal, so do to obtain maximum correlation value behind the related operation.
S204: according to the starting point t of PSCH signal in the position specified data frame in the maximum correlated series of living in
0
Also can determine the starting point t of PSCH signal according to maximum
0As shown in Figure 4, when the PSCH of portable terminal sequence just in time with Frame in the PSCH signal identical PSCH sequence make related operation, to obtain maximum correlation this moment, and the initial sampling point data position of making related operation at this moment in the PSCH sequence of portable terminal and this Frame is the starting point of PSCH signal.
S205: from starting point t
0Begin intercepting and obtain the PSCH signal, and according to starting point t
0Intercepting obtains the SSCH signal.
From starting point t
0Begin intercepting and obtain the PSCH signal; Because SSCH signal place OFDM symbol is before the OFDM symbol of PSCH signal place, and 2 the OFDM symbols in interval, therefore at starting point t
03 OFDM symbol place interceptings obtain the SSCH signal at interval before.
S206: the PSCH signal according to obtaining, calculate thick frequency offset estimating value; SSCH signal according to obtaining calculates smart frequency offset estimating value.
S207: the frequency of proofreading and correct portable terminal according to the frequency offset estimating value of calculating.
After the frequency of portable terminal is proofreaied and correct, eliminated the frequency departure between base station and the portable terminal, thereby guaranteed the correct reception of portable terminal signal.
For the subsequent data frame that in cell initial search or reuse adoption process, receives, the starting point t that determines according to above-mentioned steps S204
0, repeating step S205-S207.That is to say, then needn't repeat to determine starting point t again for the Frame of follow-up reception
0, but according to the previous starting point t that determines
0Directly intercepting obtains PSCH or SSCH signal in Frame, and according to PSCH or the SSCH signal carries out frequency offset estimating and frequency correction gets final product.
In order more accurately to obtain PSCH or SSCH signal, can carry out the correlation computations of above-mentioned steps S201 to a plurality of field data respectively, and after the corresponding addition of the correlation that a plurality of field data computation are gone out, determine maximum related value again, determine starting point t according to this maximum related value
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal.Like this, the starting point t that determines according to a plurality of field data
0The starting point t that beguine is determined according to single field data
0More more accurate.
The present inventor find sub-district first search or reuse adoption process in, channel might change, and causes the starting point of the Frame PSCH signal of the follow-up reception of portable terminal to change, and this moment starting point t still before to have determined
0Intercept PSCH or SSCH signal, might cause the intercepting of PSCH or SSCH signal error to occur, and finally cause according to the frequency offset estimating value of PSCH, SSCH calculated signals inaccurately, make portable terminal correcting frequency shift preferably.As shown in Figure 5, search in the process the first of sub-district, portable terminal has been determined the starting point t of PSCH signal according to 2 frames (4 fields) data that send at first
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal.But because influences such as channel variation cause the starting point of the PSCH signal of some follow-up Frames to change into t ', and this moment is still according to the previous starting point t that determines
0Intercepting PSCH signal, error appears in the PSCH signal that causes intercepting acquisition.

Embodiment
The technical scheme that the embodiment of the invention provides is for calculating the starting point t of PSCH signal according to the Frame that receives earlier
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal, for the Frame of follow-up reception, with starting point t
0As benchmark, in the Frame of current reception, determine an operating range, in this operating range, carry out related operation and obtain maximum correlation, determine the starting point of the Frame PSCH signal of current reception according to the maximum correlation that calculates.Like this,, cause follow-up Frame PSCH signal starting point to change, by at t even channel changes
0Carry out related operation once more near the operating range, seek maximum correlation once more and can determine the PSCH signal starting point of the Frame of current reception more accurately, thereby intercept PSCH or SSCH signal accurately.
As shown in Figure 6, determine the starting point t of PSCH signal according to the Frame that receives earlier
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal, but subsequently, because channel changes, the PSCH signal starting point of subsequent data frame changes, and changes into t '; Owing to the change of the PSCH signal starting point that causes because of channel variation is more small, therefore carry out related operation a small range, obtain maximum correlation, can determine altered PSCH signal starting point.And because just at t
0Near one carry out related operation in more among a small circle, and needn't carry out related operation to whole Frame, and therefore the amount of calculation that increases is little, and the system-computed time-delay is very short, but can determine PSCH signal starting point more accurately, and accurately intercepting obtains PSCH or SSCH signal.
A kind of definite PSCH signal starting point that the embodiment of the invention provides and intercepting obtain the concrete grammar of PSCH, SSCH signal, and flow chart comprises following concrete steps as shown in Figure 7:
S701: in cell initial search or reuse adoption process, portable terminal is determined PSCH signal starting point t according to the Frame that receives at first
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal.

0And the method for the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal, the same with definite method of the prior art of aforementioned introduction, mainly be that the Frame of whole reception is made related operation, obtain maximum correlation after, determine PSCH signal starting point t according to maximum correlation
0And the PSCH sequence in the PSCH signal.
S702: receive follow-up Frame, and determine the datum mark of the Frame of current reception, and determine the operating range of the Frame of current reception according to the previous data frame PSCH signal starting point of determining.
With in the Frame of current reception with the datum mark of the corresponding Frame as this current reception of the PSCH signal starting point of the previous Frame that receives.For example, before determined one at the PSCH of the Frame of preceding reception signal starting point t
0Be the 2000th sampling point data in the Frame of preceding reception, determine that then the 2000th sampling point data of the Frame of current reception are datum mark.
Determine the operating range of the Frame of current reception according to datum mark, promptly determine a less operating range (being the related operation scope) according to datum mark in the Frame of current reception, the sampling point data in the related operation scope are less than the sampling point data in the Frame of current reception.Such as, the Frame of current reception comprises 9600 sampling point data, then near 400 sampling point data or the littler related operation scope datum mark of Que Dinging.Those skilled in the art can have the method for multiple definite related operation scope according to actual conditions.Such as, rule of thumb setting datum mark n sampling point data in the past is related operation scope (n and m can be set according to actual conditions by those skilled in the art) to the scope between m the later sampling point data of datum mark.Perhaps, in datum mark ± CP value scope, be defined as related operation scope (promptly subtracting the cyclic prefix CP value with described datum mark, to add the CP value as lower limit, datum mark be the upper limit, determines the related operation scope of the Frame of current reception).For example, under the situation of 1.4M bandwidth, the length of CP is 10 in the OFDM symbol, then with [t
0-10, t
0+ 10] scope is defined as the related operation scope.
S703: in the related operation scope, carry out related operation, obtain correlated series.
Because in cell initial search (gravity treatment) process, identical in the PSCH sequence of the PSCH signal in the Frame of follow-up reception and the previous Frame that receives, therefore according to the PSCH sequence of in S701, having determined the PSCH signal, carry out in the process of related operation in related operation scope the Frame of follow-up reception, portable terminal with regard to will not predefined a plurality of PSCH sequences respectively with the related operation scope in data carry out related operation, and only need to carry out related operation with the data in PSCH sequence of having determined and the related operation scope, obtain correlated series (as shown in Figure 8).
Certainly, portable terminal also can with predefined a plurality of PSCH sequences respectively with the related operation scope in data carry out related operation, obtain a plurality of correlated serieses, determine maximum correlation at last.But obviously such amount of calculation has just increased.
S704: the maximum correlation in the correlated series of determining to obtain.
S705: the PSCH signal starting point t that determines the Frame of current reception according to maximum correlation
1, intercepting PSCH signal and/or SSCH signal.
Determine the PSCH signal starting point t of the Frame of current reception according to maximum correlation
1, and the starting point t from determining
1Begin to intercept the PSCH signal and from starting point t
1Preceding 3 OFDM symbol places begin intercepting and obtain the SSCH signal.Owing in subsequent treatment, do not need to utilize the PSCH signal sometimes, therefore needn't all obtain the PSCH signal for each Frame, also only intercepting obtains the SSCH signal.

0, also can be other starting point at the PSCH of the Frame of preceding reception signal.For example, portable terminal adopts the method for prior art to determine the PSCH signal starting point t of these 2 frame data according to 2 frame data (4 field data) that receive at first
0, when receiving the 5th field data, then according to the method for the step S702-S705 of the embodiment of the invention, with the previous t that determines
0As datum mark, determine the PSCH signal starting point t of the 5th field data
5Afterwards, portable terminal receives the 6th field data again, then both can be with t
0Determine the PSCH signal starting point t of the 6th field data as datum mark
6, also can be with t
5Determine the PSCH signal starting point t of the 6th field data as datum mark

0, t
5, t
6) determine the PSCH signal starting point t of the 7th field data as datum mark
7Certainly, consider that the starting point between the adjacent field data differs less, then can be with at the starting point of preceding adjacent Frame datum mark as current data frame.
