Description

Radio base station and the method that wherein is used for the estimating Doppler expansion
Technical field
Embodiment herein relates to radio base station and method wherein.Specifically, herein embodiment relates to the estimation of the doppler spread in radio circuit.
Background technology
In current radio circuit, subscriber equipment by radio link in so-called up link (UL) transmission to the radio base station transmission of information, and radio base station along other direction in so-called down link (DL) transmission to the subscriber equipment transmission of information.Doppler frequency shift is the frequency displacement of the radio signal that run into by receiver when conveyer and receiver move each other.Doppler spread is a plurality of expansions that enter the Doppler frequency shift of office signaling ray from the conveyer to the receiver.Doppler spread causes the variation of the propagation channel between conveyer and receiver.The knowledge of doppler spread obtains many application in mobile communication system.This class is used and comprised: the receiver algorithm for example is used for the smoothing filter of channel estimating; And radio resource management algorithms, for example selection of link circuit self-adapting, scheduling and closed loop or Open-Loop Spatial Multiplexing.The doppler spread of radio link and channel are inversely proportional to coherence time.Channel coherence time is to think that channel impulse response is the duration of being correlated with, that is, the one other channel impulse response of carrying out during channel impulse response and channel coherence time is relevant.Long channel allows receiver, for example radio base station to follow effect for the multipath fading of scheduling and link circuit self-adapting coherence time, for example is used for using the time correlation scheduling of the mobile communication system such as evolved universal terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) system and the Closed-Loop Spatial Multiplexing in down link.The period that is used for from subscriber equipment to radio base station transfer channel quality information report should be shorter coherence time than channel, is downlink channel status information accurately in order to be provided at during the report period.Similarly, the periodicity of the institute's transfer channel detection reference signal in up link should be shorter coherence time than channel, in order to realize the efficient uplink channel quality estimation between sounding reference signal transmission enhancement.
Doppler spread can be estimated with the doppler spread estimator according to many modes.One class doppler spread estimator is based on the time character of the channel estimating that receives signal.In time domain, propagation channel can be modeled as the tapped delay line with time correlation channel tap.Suppose that channel tap C is the rayleigh fading channel tap, doppler spread can be estimated from the measured level crossing rate of channel tap C.Some estimators rely on the auto-correlation function R of channel tap C c:

Also can obtain from the auto-covariance function of the function of channel tap.The example of this function of channel tap is the squared magnitude of channel tap.
The channel estimating of certain time instance obtains from the transmission of pilot tone or reference signal usually.If there is the continuous or periodic transfer on fixed frequency, channel estimator is through simplifying and being more effective.The periodicity of transmission is shorter, can estimate more much higherly generally to strangle expansion or shorter channel coherence time, thereby cause the better resolution of estimation.
Accurately channel estimating require the signal that transmits be known at receiver.In general, transmit with reference to or pilot signal be known, except being constant amplitude and phase place between single transmission period.In some mobile communication system, for example E-UTRA, travelling carriage can change the delivering power between subsequent transmission.The phase place that this change changes amplitude and may also change the signal that transmits.Radio base station is estimated the composite channel by conveyer gains (being amplitude and phase place) and propagation channel forms.Composite channel is correlated with for the compensation in receiver, but uncorrelated for the propagation of estimating transmission.The auto-correlation function of composite channel and character can be from the auto-correlation function of propagation channel and character is very different At All Other Times At All Other Times, and therefore estimate it may is wrong based on the doppler spread of channel estimating.In general, the doppler spread estimator comprise with reception antenna on the time character of time correlation of reception signal, thereby cause and cause the wrong doppler spread of inefficient transmission plan to be estimated.
Summary of the invention

Subscriber equipment (UE) 10 that is served by radio base station 12 communicates by radio link and radio base station 12, and wherein communication is so-called up link (UL) transmission.Radio base station 12 communicates with subscriber equipment 10 in so-called down link (DL) transmission.Doppler frequency shift is the frequency displacement of the radio signal that run into by radio base station 12 when subscriber equipment 10 and radio base station 12 move with speed v each other.That is to say, radio base station 12 can be fixing or mobile, and subscriber equipment 10 can be static or mobile, and the difference of the speed between them is v along a direction.
Subscriber equipment 10 in UL to radio base station 12 original signal.Propagated and reflex time along the route to radio base station 12 when signal, the unlike signal (i.e. the first and second signals) that derives from primary signal will receive at radio base station 12.Therefore, radio base station 12 receives first signal and secondary signal from subscriber equipment 10.The first and second signals are based on primary signal, but separate aspect for example space, time and/or polarization.When the through-put power of subscriber equipment 10 affects amplitude and phase place, the variation through-put power of subscriber equipment 10 will change as from the resulting channel automatic correlative property of single reception signal.The mechanism that current embodiment herein provides the variation through-put power that is not subjected to subscriber equipment 10 to affect.Radio base station 12 is by comparing reception first signal and the initialize signal that is called again known signal to estimate the first channel estimating of first signal.In addition, radio base station 12 is estimated by reception secondary signal and initialize signal being compared estimate the second channel of secondary signal.In the reference signal that for example, the first signal that receives and secondary signal can be comprised and radio base station 12, the known reference signal of storage compares.
Radio base station 12 is then by estimating that the first channel estimating determine divided by second channel the ratio of channel estimating.This ratio is to offset the transmission amplitude of doppler spread estimation and the dimensionless parameter of phase correlation.Then the ratio of channel estimating is used for estimating auto-correlation function in function.Then the auto-correlation function of this estimation is used for the estimating Doppler expansion.

In the example shown, radio base station 12 is at the first antenna reception first signal s1 and at the second antenna reception secondary signal s2.
Step 202.Radio base station 12 by at first estimating first signal the first channel estimating and the second channel of secondary signal estimate to come the estimating Doppler expansion.Then, radio base station is determined the ratio that the first channel estimating and second channel are estimated, and estimate the auto-correlation function of function of definite ratio.Then radio base station 12 comes the estimating Doppler expansion based on estimated auto-correlation function.
