Technical background
The present invention is particularly suitable for the cellular wireless system of employing code division multiple access.Code division multiple access (CDMA) is a kind of multi-address method, and it is based on spread spectrum, and except former FDMA and TDMA method, it has been used for cellular communication system recently.CDMA had many advantages compared with former method, spectrum efficiency height for example, and frequency planning is simple.
In CDMA, user's narrow-band digital signal is much wide that the extended code of bandwidth is taken on the relative broadband mutually by having compared with data-signal.The bandwidth of using in known test macro is for example 1.25MHz, 10MHz and 25MHz.By multiplying each other, data-signal expands to employed all frequency bands.All users use identical frequency band to launch simultaneously.Use an extended code in each connection between base station and the travelling carriage, receiver can be distinguished user's signal mutually based on the extended code that each user uses.Fig. 1 represents that wherein, the transverse axis table time, the longitudinal axis is represented pseudo noise code according to the CDMA transmission of technology in the past.The transmission 100-106 of different user distinguishes emission simultaneously mutually with different sign indicating numbers on same frequency.It also is well-known providing more than a sign indicating number for a user, but this is just in order to improve message transmission rate.Be provided the user of two extended codes, for example, can one the multiply each other part of the sign indicating number that will be launched of sign indicating number, with another yard part that multiplies each other, so just with a sign indicating number transmitting users compare, realized the transmission capacity of twice.
Sef-adapting filter in the receiver and required signal Synchronization, required signal Synchronization are based on that extended code discerns.By using same extended code identical when launching to multiply each other, data-signal is reduced original frequency band in receiver.In the ideal case, both uncorrelated by other extended code multiplied signals, do not revert to original arrowband yet.Therefore, in desired signal, they resemble noise.Make great efforts the extended code of selective system, make their not cross-correlation, in other words, their quadratures.In practice, extended code is not relevant not at all, and other users' signal makes required distorted signals, thereby makes the detection of desired signal become complicated.The interference that the user produces each other is known as multiple access and disturbs.
The quality of transmission depends on number of users, particularly in the transmission direction from the base station to the terminal equipment.Number of users is many more in the system, and the employed power of base station is just high more.This produces peripheral cell and disturbs.
In the past, capable Interference Cancellation was accepted in people's butt joint, made the quality of received signal be enhanced under the help of offsetting.Before this, interference cancellation method is mainly used in plan in the base station, can not realize because the operation that requires on terminal equipment is too complicated.
The present invention's general introduction
The objective of the invention is to realize a kind of data transmission method, it further improves spectrum efficiency, particularly in the transmission direction from the base station to the terminal equipment.The present invention also aims to realize a kind of like this data transmission method, it makes interference cancellation method also can use on subscriber terminal equipment.Another object of the present invention is to realize a kind of like this data transmission method, and it makes grand diversity simpler than before this.
This is to reach by the method that proposes in introduction, the signal that it is characterized in that the user is multiplied each other by a plurality of pseudo random sequences, it is identical that signal transmission rate keeps in fact, and distinguished mutually by time division way by the different subscriber signal that same pseudo random sequence multiplies each other.
Another object of the present invention is a cellular wireless system, it comprises at least one base station in each sub-district, and a plurality of subscriber terminal equipments that are connected to one or more base stations, the transmitter of described system comprises with multiply each other each user's the device of signal of one or more pseudo random sequences.Cellular wireless system of the present invention is characterised in that, the transceiver of system is with the multiply each other device of subscriber signal of a plurality of pseudo random sequences, it is identical that the transmission rate of signal keeps in fact, and transmitter comprises the device that is used to send the signal that passes through the different user that the time-division distinguishes mutually that is multiplied each other by same pseudo random sequence.
Therefore, by on the subscriber terminal equipment signal on several information channels being used time good detection, method of the present invention makes from the base station to the spectrum efficiency of terminal equipment transmit direction and improves.Be often referred to the equipment of handling and further sending several channel informations in this base station.
In the method for the invention, information channel becomes powerful parallel form, and it makes the interference cancellation algorithm on the terminal equipment to use effectively.The complexity of the Interference Cancellation of terminal equipment is the linear function of parallel information channel, and this is impossible in traditional CDMA Channel.Powerful parallel transmission can make time-division transmission in the transmission direction from the base station to the terminal equipment.Like this, terminal equipment can more effectively utilize the time interval that is not used to transmit, and for example is used to monitor the time interval other base stations or that be used to handle received signal.
Preferred implementation of the present invention
Fig. 2 represents preferably to use the part of the cellular wireless system of method of the present invention.Cellular wireless networks comprises a base station 200 and many subscriber terminal equipment 202-206 that is connected to the base station at least in each sub-district.Base station controller is passed through in the base station, mobile services switching centre, or similar devices, and the calling of exchange from terminal equipment is to public telephone network or another terminal equipment.
All terminal equipments to base station 200, then, according to the method for prior art, are distinguished the emission of different terminal equipment in same frequency emission based on the extended code of each terminal equipment use.The method according to this invention, the base station distributes N sign indicating number to a user from obtainable sign indicating number sequence set, and this user transmits information to subscriber terminal equipment concurrently, however message transmission rate is consistent in fact.In the method for the invention, the base station sends N sign indicating number to terminal equipment to each sequence of symhols, and only sends a sign indicating number in traditional method.Because message transmission rate keeps identical in fact, in the method for the invention, do not continue in entire frame with the transmission of the code element of the frame of each connection of several parallel transmissions.Like this, can in several users, use the time-division.The transmission of several different users can send by same extended code, and the user can by the time the mutually difference of assigning to.
The possible implementation that a kind of parallel time-division sends shown in Fig. 3 a, transverse axis express time wherein, the longitudinal axis is represented different extended codes.In the example shown in the figure, each independently sends each user's signal 300-306 in the time slot at one, makes each user's sign indicating number be multiplied each other by an extended code, and first user is multiplied each other by sign indicating number 100-106 in this example.Different users can use different sign indicating numbers.Different users also can have the sign indicating number of different numbers.
Disclosed time-division parallel transmission method makes can implement interference cancellation algorithm in subscriber terminal equipment.In this case, be useful signal to the signal of terminal equipment, rather than the multiple access interference signal.And, the parameter that terminal equipment is estimated seldom: L * M, wherein L represents the number in path, M represents the diversity of antenna.Terminal equipment can further be carried out Interference Cancellation with the algorithm as the base station, because terminal equipment has the ability of handling the transmission that arrives in the time that the signal to other-end equipment is sent out.The complexity of the Interference Cancellation of terminal equipment is the linear function of parallel transmission number.
In the time of the signal of other-end equipment, the base station can monitor the emission of other base stations in base station.Parallel transmission also makes terminal equipment send received signal to the base station on signaling channel and whether suffers deep fade, perhaps the input information of whether failing because of other reasons.So new time slot of this terminal equipment is distributed in the base station, and it is notified to terminal equipment and attempts to do new emission.Also can carry out and re-emission, promptly be exactly, by the parallel information of in a such time slot that is being other connection reservations originally, re-emissioning by so-called insertion.This connection will be lost its partial information.
In the method for the invention, parallel emission can accomplished in many ways.Usually, different user is at the parallel channel of the different numbers of different time-gap.A kind of possibility is above disclosed mode, distributes an independently time slot for each user.This requires the accurate coordination of base station, but can realize that terminal equipment does not cause interference mutually.Yet its restriction is the peak power that high power signals increases base station.The high speed high power connects will use several time slots.
Another possibility is to have only the parallel emission of a few users, and other users use legacy transmission.This mode represents wherein have a user 314 to use parallel emission by using several extended codes in Fig. 3 b, other users 310,312 are by using complete frame of an extended code emission.In this a kind of method, parallel transmitting users 314 will be disturbed mutually with other users, still, by distributing the extended code of enough numbers to concurrent user, this interference can be limited to be several code elements during in, like this, interference can be eliminated by chnnel coding.According to the parallel emission of this method be particularly suitable for the user in the base station nearby situation, described user's emission is considered that can accept disturbed condition can carry out on low-power.These user's available interference counteracting methods high power of decaying disturbs.
Another possibility is that the user is divided into two or more groups, and distributes an independently time slot to the transmission of each group.This represents that in Fig. 3 c wherein the user is divided into two group 316 and 318, they by the time the mutually difference of assigning to.In group, user's extended code is distinguished mutually, and the member of group can obtain different number object codes.
Another possibility is to distribute time slot in order each user according to the sign indicating number of needs.Like this, the interference between the sub-district just is randomized.
