Definitions
- the present invention relates to a CDMA mobile communication system, and more particularly, to a RAKE receiver and a receiving method for efficiently selecting a path to be assigned to a finger.
- the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) communication system is a communication system that allocates an individual spreading code to each user, thereby enabling communication of a plurality of users.
- the feature is that multipath is actively used.
- a signal transmitted from a transmitter is affected by fading caused by movement of the transmitter or the receiver, diffraction and attenuation by a shield, and the like. Therefore, the signal transmitted from the transmitter is received by the receiver as a plurality of signals. These multiple received signals are called a multipath. Each received signal in the multipath is called a path.
- TDMA Time Division Multiple Access
- FDMA Frequency Division Multiple Access
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a basic configuration of a conventional RAKE receiver for realizing the search function. As shown in FIG. 1, the RAKE receiver includes a correlation value calculation unit 2, a delayed profile (delayed profile) creation unit 3, a path selection unit 4. a finger unit 5.
- the correlation value calculation unit 2 calculates the correlation value between the received signal input from the input terminal 1 and the spread code at a fixed period at all the timings at which RAKE reception is possible.
- the correlation value calculation unit 2 calculates the calculated correlation value.
- the “correlation value” is a value calculated by the following equation (1).
- N Number of chips for which correlation is calculated
- the delay profile creation unit 3 determines the correlation value for each reception timing obtained from the correlation value calculation unit 2 in advance. By adding the number of times, an averaged correlation value is calculated and a delay profile is created.
- Figure 2 shows the delay profile at each reception time.
- the path selection unit 4 compares the magnitudes of the averaged correlation values of the delay profiles, selects a reception timing to be assigned to each finger, and notifies the finger unit 5 of the reception timing.
- FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the reception timing and the propagation path shown in Fig. 2.
- FIG. Reception timings ⁇ and ⁇ ' have the same propagation path from the transmitter to the receiver.
- the reception timing ⁇ is a path that propagates from the transmitter via the reflector to the receiver. Therefore, the propagation path differs between reception timing ⁇ and reception timings ⁇ and ⁇ '.
- reception timings ⁇ and ⁇ ' receive the same fencing because the propagation paths are the same. Therefore, for example, when the reception timing ⁇ is affected by fading and the reception power decreases, the reception timing A ′ also decreases. Therefore, if only the reception timings ⁇ and ⁇ 'are assigned to the fingers, the reception characteristics may be degraded.
- the number of fingers is usually finite due to hardware constraints. Therefore, efficiently allocating paths of different propagation paths to the fingers has a great effect on the reception characteristics in the R AKE reception.
- Nfgr the number of fingers that are finite due to hardware restrictions
- Abs (X) is the absolute value of X
- TH is a predetermined threshold.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a RAKE receiver and a receiving method for performing path separation by checking the correlation of the fluctuation state of the correlation value and performing efficient path assignment to fingers. . Disclosure of the invention

- FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the present embodiment.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a RAKE receiver according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the correlation value calculation unit 2 uses the input terminal
- the delay profile creation unit 3 adds the correlation value a predetermined number of times (hereinafter referred to as “N power”) for each reception timing.
- N power a predetermined number of times
- an averaged correlation value is calculated, and the result is notified to the path selection unit 4 as a delay profile. That is, the following processing is performed.
- C or [t] [n] and DP [t] [n] as follows.
- DP [t] [n] Result of adding the correlation value notified at the n-th time at reception timing t
- DP [t] [n] is used as a delay profile by the path selection unit 4. To be notified.
- D P [t] [1 1] is set to 0.
- a moving average of the correlation value notified from the correlation value calculation unit 2 by a predetermined width time window can be used.
- the difference history creation unit 6 compares the latest correlation value notified from the correlation value calculation unit 2 with the previous correlation value held by itself at each reception timing, and records the change in the magnitude. I do. Specifically, for example, the following operation is performed.
- F n (x, y) is +1 in the range (x ⁇ y) and 1 1 in the range (x> y).
- the path selection unit 4 sorts the delay profiles notified from the delay profile creation unit 3 in descending order of the averaged correlation value. Further, the reception timings are set as finger assignment candidates in descending order of the averaged correlation value. The judgment shown in the following formulas (3) and (4) is performed. If all conditions are met, the reception timing is assigned to the finger.
- D-thh threshold value for a predetermined reception timing
- H ist [t] [0] does not add to the definition of H ist [] [] because it represents the difference between the 0th time and the — 1st time. .
- This process is performed for all reception timings or is continued until the number of fingers is exhausted.
- the reception timing assigned to the finger is notified to the finger unit 5.
- Step 1 C or [t] [1-1] and DP [t] [-1] stored in the memory buffer of the correlation value calculation unit 2 and delay profile creation unit 3 are initialized to 0. (Step 1).
- the correlation value calculator 2 calculates a correlation value C 0 r [t] [cnt] by correlating the received signal input from the input terminal 1 with the spread code (Step 3).
- the obtained correlation value C or [t] [cnt] is notified to the delay profile creation unit 3, and the delay profile DPC t] Cent] is obtained (step 4).
- the correlation value C or [t] [cnt] is notified to the difference history creation unit 6, and is compared with the previous matching value C or [t] [cnt ⁇ 1] to obtain the difference history H ist [ t] [cnt 3 is required (step Five).
- the processing of steps 3 to 5 is repeated N pow times (steps 2, 6, and 7).
- T x Tmg Ord [x] holds, it means that, when DP [t] [Npow—1] is rearranged in descending order, the Xth reception timing from the top is Tx .
- the reception timing having the largest averaged correlation value of the delay profile is first assigned to one finger (step 10).
- reception timings satisfying the above formulas (3) and (4) are searched in the descending order of the averaged correlation value. If found, the reception timing is assigned to the finger (steps 11 to 16, step 18). After the assignment to the Nfgr fingers is completed (step 17), or when the tests of (Equation 3) and (Equation 4) are completed for all Ntmg reception timings, ( Step 1 9), the path selection ends. Thereafter, the reception timing assigned to the fgr fingers (finger [0]... Finger [fgr-1]) is reported to the finger unit 5 (step 20).
- the memory buffers of the correlation value calculation unit 2 and the delay profile creation unit 3 are initialized to 0 again, and the processing is continued (step 1).
- HistLt] [n] Fn (Cor [t] [n-1], Cor [t] [n]) xCor [t] [n] (5)
- F n (x, y) [+ 1 (x ⁇ y), — 1 (x> y)]
- Equation (5) uses the correlation value in addition to the direction of the change. We are also paying attention to the size.
- the present invention when allocating the reception timing to the fingers, not only the difference in the reception timing but also the correlation value is used as a means for determining whether or not the same propagation path is the same. Since the change history is also used, it is possible to more accurately judge whether the paths are the same. With the limited number of fingers due to the hardware conditions, it is possible to allocate paths so that good reception characteristics can be obtained in a fading environment.
