Description
技术领域 本发明属于通信技术领域,特别涉及控制包括正交频分复用通信系统在内的多载波通信系统中发射信号的峰值平均功率比的有效方法及其实现装置。Technical Field The present invention belongs to the field of communication technology, and in particular relates to an effective method for controlling the peak-to-average power ratio of transmitted signals in a multi-carrier communication system including an OFDM communication system and an implementation device thereof.
背景技术 目前,正交频分复用(OFDM)技术作为一种有效的宽带传输技术已被广泛应用到数字音频广播(DAB),数字视频广播(DVB),高清晰度电视(HDTV)的传输等诸多领域。但是,采用OFDM技术的系统的一个主要问题是信号的峰值功率与平均功率的比值,即峰值平均功率比(PAPR)较高,这要求系统中发射机功率放大器高度线性以避免放大信号时引起非线性失真,从而大大增加了系统实现的难度和成本,限制了OFDM技术的进一步发展。特别是对于移动双向通信系统来说,由于收发机体积和能耗受限,这个缺点就更加突出。并且,一个通信系统的多载波传输方案的选择在当前并没有最大限度地利用系统可用的功率。Background Art At present, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology has been widely used as an effective broadband transmission technology in the transmission of Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB), Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB), and High Definition Television (HDTV). and many other fields. However, one of the main problems of the system using OFDM technology is the ratio of the peak power to the average power of the signal, that is, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is high, which requires the transmitter power amplifier in the system to be highly linear to avoid amplifying the signal. Linear distortion greatly increases the difficulty and cost of system implementation, and limits the further development of OFDM technology. Especially for mobile two-way communication systems, this shortcoming is even more prominent due to the limited volume and energy consumption of transceivers. Also, the selection of a multi-carrier transmission scheme for a communication system currently does not maximize the use of the system's available power.
为了降低OFDM通信系统中信号的PAPR,人们做了大量的研究。现有方法大致可以分为两类。In order to reduce the PAPR of signals in OFDM communication systems, people have done a lot of research. Existing methods can be roughly divided into two categories.
一类是在复用器之前对输入数据流进行处理,如图1a所示,以减小PAPR高产生的可能性,如编码,部分传输序列和选择映射的方法。当子载波数较大时,这几种方法都需要较大的计算量或复杂度。而在目前实用的OFDM系统中,子载波数一般都较大,所以其计算量或复杂度往往是难以接受的。并且,对于部分传输序列和选择映射这两种办法来说,还需要增加额外的开销来告诉接收端发送端所采用的传输系数或组合方案。One is to process the input data stream before the multiplexer, as shown in Figure 1a, to reduce the possibility of high PAPR, such as encoding, partial transmission sequence and selection of mapping methods. When the number of sub-carriers is large, these methods all require a large amount of calculation or complexity. However, in the current practical OFDM system, the number of sub-carriers is generally large, so its calculation amount or complexity is often unacceptable. Moreover, for the two methods of partial transmission sequence and selective mapping, additional overhead needs to be added to inform the receiving end of the transmission coefficient or combination scheme adopted by the sending end.
另一类是在复用器之后对复用器的输出数据流进行处理,如图1b所示,以减小PAPR高造成的影响,如限幅滤波和压缩扩张的方法。对信号进行限幅会引入限幅噪声,当用滤波的办法以消除这些噪声时,又会重新增大信号的PAPR,从而不能满足系统设计的要求。还有一种方法是利用非均匀量化中的压缩扩张技术来降低信号的PAPR,如μ率压缩扩张和A率压缩扩张。在传统的通信系统中,当对模拟信号进行非均匀量化时,为了减少量化噪声,可以运用压缩扩张技术在发射端把小信号的量化间隔压缩,并在接收端把小信号的量化间隔扩张。在多载波数字通信系统中,如果在发射端压缩信号,根据压缩器的输入输出特性,压缩后的信号的平均功率会增加而峰值功率保持不变,那么信号的PAPR就可以被减小。这种办法虽然实现简单,但是因为是在系统的发射和接收两端分别对信号进行压缩和扩张,且没有考虑信号功率或幅度的概率分布,所以增加了发射端功率放大器的输入信号的平均功率,使得压缩后的信号对功率放大器的非线性更加敏感,最终导致系统性能恶化。The other is to process the output data stream of the multiplexer after the multiplexer, as shown in Figure 1b, to reduce the impact of high PAPR, such as limiting filtering and companding. Limiting the signal will introduce limiting noise, and when the filtering method is used to eliminate these noises, the PAPR of the signal will be increased again, which cannot meet the requirements of the system design. Another method is to use the companding technique in non-uniform quantization to reduce the PAPR of the signal, such as μ-rate companding and A-rate companding. In traditional communication systems, when non-uniform quantization is performed on analog signals, in order to reduce quantization noise, companding technology can be used to compress the quantization interval of small signals at the transmitting end and expand the quantization interval of small signals at the receiving end. In a multi-carrier digital communication system, if the signal is compressed at the transmitter, according to the input and output characteristics of the compressor, the average power of the compressed signal will increase while the peak power remains unchanged, so the PAPR of the signal can be reduced. Although this method is simple to implement, it increases the average power of the input signal of the power amplifier at the transmitting end because it compresses and expands the signal at the transmitting and receiving ends of the system, and does not consider the probability distribution of signal power or amplitude. , making the compressed signal more sensitive to the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, which eventually leads to the deterioration of system performance.
发明内容 本发明的目的在于为克服已有技术的不足之处,提出一种降低多载波通信系统中信号的峰均功率比的方法和装置,它能够以相对较小的计算量和实现复杂度,有效地降低功率放大器的输入信号的PAPR,避免功率放大器放大信号时引起非线性失真。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and propose a method and device for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of signals in a multi-carrier communication system, which can achieve a relatively small amount of calculation and complexity , effectively reducing the PAPR of the input signal of the power amplifier, and avoiding nonlinear distortion caused by the power amplifier amplifying the signal.
本发明的一种通过数值变换来降低系统中信号的峰均功率比的方法。该方法在数/模转换之前或在数/模转换的同时,将输入信号各点的幅度值按照特定的函数关系映射为输出信号的幅度值,该输出信号满足系统中功率放大器对信号PAPR的要求。或者说,该方法是在通信系统的发射端,通过数值变换对信号的功率进行重新分配,增强小信号同时减弱大信号,不仅降低信号的PAPR而且提高小信号的抗噪声性能。可以理解,对于通信系统的接收端来说,为了做出正确的信号判决,需要在信号判决前,对接收信号进行相应的反变换,即减弱小信号同时增强大信号。由于接收端的功率放大器通常为小信号功率放大器,其可以有很好的线性性能,所以反变换对整个系统的性能不会有太大的影响。The invention provides a method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of signals in a system through numerical transformation. In this method, before the digital/analog conversion or at the same time as the digital/analog conversion, the amplitude value of each point of the input signal is mapped to the amplitude value of the output signal according to a specific functional relationship, and the output signal satisfies the PAPR requirement of the power amplifier in the system Require. In other words, this method is to redistribute the power of the signal through numerical transformation at the transmitting end of the communication system to enhance the small signal while weakening the large signal, which not only reduces the PAPR of the signal but also improves the anti-noise performance of the small signal. It can be understood that for the receiving end of the communication system, in order to make a correct signal decision, it is necessary to perform corresponding inverse transformation on the received signal before the signal decision, that is, to weaken the small signal while enhancing the large signal. Since the power amplifier at the receiving end is usually a small-signal power amplifier, it can have very good linear performance, so the inverse conversion will not have a great impact on the performance of the entire system.

In the present invention, f[·] consists of two parts f 1 [·] and f 2 [·], which satisfy the following conditions:
其中 表示取绝对值;m是由第一步中得出的信号功率的期望值和峰值特性决定的转换点参数,该变换规则对应的函数输入输出曲线包括线性、分段线性、非线性对称和非线性准对称的变换曲线;in Indicates that the absolute value is taken; m is the conversion point parameter determined by the expected value and peak characteristics of the signal power obtained in the first step, and the function input and output curves corresponding to the conversion rule include linear, piecewise linear, nonlinear symmetric and nonlinear quasi-symmetric transformation curve;
第三步,在接收端,确定对接收信号进行与发射端对应的反变换的规则:同样,设输入信号用x(t)表示,经过数值反变换的输出信号用y(t)表示,数值反变换的规则,即x(t)与y(t)之间的函数映射关系用g[·]表示。本发明中,g[·]由g1[·]和g2[·]两部分组成,它们满足下面条件: In the third step, at the receiving end, determine the inverse transformation rule for the received signal corresponding to the transmitting end: Similarly, let the input signal be represented by x(t), and the output signal after numerical inverse transformation be represented by y(t), and the numerical value The rule of inverse transformation, that is, the function mapping relationship between x(t) and y(t) is represented by g[·]. In the present invention, g[·] consists of two parts g 1 [·] and g 2 [·], which satisfy the following conditions:
其中 表示取绝对值;m′是与第二步中得出的参数m对应的转换点参数,反变换规则满足g[·]=f-1[·]。in means to take the absolute value; m' is the conversion point parameter corresponding to the parameter m obtained in the second step, and the inverse transformation rule satisfies g[·]=f -1 [·].

具体实施方式 下面结合附图,根据四个方法实施例和两个装置实施例及其应用更详细地解释本发明。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained in more detail according to four method embodiments and two device embodiments and their applications in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
在本发明中,由于是通过把小信号压缩同时把大信号扩张来增强小信号同时减弱大信号,因此,将变换器的输入输出曲线称为压缩扩张曲线,数值变换所遵循的规则f[·]可由变换器的输入输出曲线很好地表现出来,如图2所示。In the present invention, since the small signal is strengthened while the large signal is weakened by compressing the small signal while expanding the large signal, the input-output curve of the converter is called the compression-expansion curve, and the rule f[· ] can be well represented by the input and output curves of the converter, as shown in Figure 2.
在本发明提出的降低多载波通信系统中信号的峰均功率比的方法中,满足变换规则的压缩扩张曲线的形状有很多种,对应不同的压缩扩张曲线,本发明给出四个不同的方法实施例。In the method for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of signals in a multi-carrier communication system proposed by the present invention, there are many shapes of compandor curves satisfying transformation rules, corresponding to different compandor curves, the present invention provides four different methods Example.
实施例一,参见图2,包括以下步骤:Embodiment one, referring to Fig. 2, comprises the following steps:
第一步,在发射端,确定数值变换中压缩扩张曲线的转换点44。首先根据输入信号功率的概率分布,求出其期望值。然后把该期望值作为压缩扩张的转换点44,并令压缩扩张的比例相同,因为对于输入信号来说其功率大于此期望值和小于此期望值的概率是相等的,所以压缩扩张前后信号的总功率不变。至于信号功率的概率分布,根据中心极限定律,OFDM信号的幅度服从高斯分布,其功率服从Chi-square分布。由于对于零均值,方差为δ2的高斯随机变量X,随机变量Y=X2服从Chi-square分布,且E(Y)=δ2,
第二步,在发射端,确定数值变换的规则,即数值变换中压缩扩张曲线的形状。其输入输出变换规则如下: In the second step, at the transmitting end, determine the rules of the numerical transformation, that is, the shape of the compression-expansion curve in the numerical transformation. Its input and output conversion rules are as follows:
式中,参数k,b分别被称为斜率和截距,它们分别满足0<k<1和b=(1-k)*m,此处m为输入信号功率的期望值;In the formula, the parameters k and b are called slope and intercept respectively, and they respectively satisfy 0<k<1 and b=(1-k)*m, where m is the expected value of the input signal power;
本实施例的压缩扩张曲线关于原点对称,对于信号为正值部分的压缩扩张曲线如图2中实线42所示。对应地,把这种变换称为“线性压缩扩张”。The compression-expansion curve of this embodiment is symmetrical about the origin, and the compression-expansion curve of the positive signal part is shown as the solid line 42 in FIG. 2 . Correspondingly, this transformation is called "linear companding".
第三步,在接收端,确定反变换中压缩扩张曲线的形状,其输入输出变换规则如下: In the third step, at the receiving end, determine the shape of the compression-expansion curve in the inverse transformation, and its input and output transformation rules are as follows:
式中,参数k′与第二步中得出的k保持一致,参数b′满足b′=(1-k′)*m′,此处m′为反变换器输入信号功率的期望值。In the formula, the parameter k' is consistent with the k obtained in the second step, and the parameter b' satisfies b'=(1-k')*m', where m' is the expected value of the input signal power of the inverse converter.
图3是实施例一的效果图,表示在所描述的方法实施例一中,在发送端对信号作线性压缩扩张(参数k=0.1)前后的波形。本实施例使得小信号被增强,同时大信号被减弱,信号的峰值被很好的抑制。经过压缩扩张后的信号降低了对发射机后级功率放大器的线性要求,避免了发射机后级功率放大器放大信号时引起的非线性失真。FIG. 3 is an effect diagram of Embodiment 1, showing waveforms before and after linear companding (parameter k=0.1) on the signal at the sending end in Embodiment 1 of the described method. In this embodiment, the small signal is enhanced, while the large signal is weakened, and the peak value of the signal is well suppressed. The compressed and expanded signal reduces the linearity requirement on the post-transmitter power amplifier, and avoids the nonlinear distortion caused when the post-transmitter power amplifier amplifies the signal.
本发明的方法实施例二:除第二步所采用的变换规则即压缩扩张曲线及其实现方式不同以外,该实施例的其他步骤与实施例一相同。在所描述的实施例中,变换规则的实现采用数字运算电路直接进行变换,并同时完成数/模转换。实施例二的压缩扩张曲线关于原点对称,对于信号为正值的部分的压缩扩张曲线如图2中实线43所示,对应地,把这种变换称为“分段线性压缩扩张”,其参数为k。本实施例的输入输出变换规则如下:
其中,k为一个小于1的正常数。Among them, k is a normal number less than 1.
本发明的方法实施例三:除第二步所采用的变换规则即压缩扩张曲线及其实现方式不同以外,该实施例的其他步骤与实施例一相同。在所描述的实施例中,变换规则的实现采用存储映射表对输入数值进行一一映射,并同时完成数/模转换。本实施例的压缩扩张曲线关于原点对称,对于信号为正值的部分的压缩扩张曲线如图2中虚线40所示,对应地,把这种变换称为“非线性对称压缩扩张”,其中,压扩规则采用通用的μ率压扩,其参数为压缩扩张率u。Embodiment 3 of the method of the present invention: other steps of this embodiment are the same as Embodiment 1 except that the transformation rule adopted in the second step, that is, the compression-expansion curve and its implementation are different. In the described embodiment, the implementation of the conversion rule uses a storage mapping table to perform one-to-one mapping of the input values, and simultaneously completes the digital/analog conversion. The compandor curve of this embodiment is symmetrical about the origin, and the compandor curve for the part where the signal is positive is shown as the dotted line 40 in Figure 2. Correspondingly, this transformation is called "non-linear symmetric compandor", wherein, The companding rule adopts the universal μ-rate companding, and its parameter is the companding rate u.
本发明的方法实施例四:除第二步所采用的变换规则即压缩扩张曲线及其实现方式不同以外,该实施例的其他步骤与实施例一相同。在所描述的实施例中,变换规则的实现采用数字运算电路直接进行变换,并同时完成数/模转换。本实施例的压缩扩张曲线关于原点对称,对于信号为正值的部分的压缩扩张曲线如图2中点线41所示,对应地,把这种变换称为“非线性准对称压缩扩张”,其中,压扩规则采用通用的μ率压扩,其参数为压缩扩张率u。
本发明提出的变换器的两个实施例如图4所示,结合附图分别说明如下:Two embodiments of the converter proposed by the present invention are shown in Figure 4, which are described as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
本发明的变换器装置实施例一:为分别设计压扩器与数/模转换器,如图4a所示,该变换器包括一个门限判断单元58,一个扩张器52,一个压缩器53和一个数/模转换器56。首先,将IFFT数字信号处理器29的输出作为变换器的输入数字信号x(t)30,并通过一个门限判断单元58将x(t)分为|x(t)|≥m和|x(t)|<m的两部分。门限判断单元可以用软件程序或门限判断电路来实现,以配合后续设备的实现。然后|x(t)|≥m的部分50被送往扩张器52,|x(t)|<m的部分51被送往压缩器53。(在本发明以前,压缩器通常被用于模/数转换中以实现非均匀量化,由于它把小信号的量化间隔压缩,因而被称为压缩器。而在本发明中,压缩器被用于增强小信号;相反,扩张器被用于减弱大信号。这种应用的可行性是由压缩器和扩张器的输入输出特性保证的。通常,压缩器53和扩张器52可以由存储映射表或数字运算电路组成。)接着,经压缩和扩张后的数字信号被叠加,形成峰均功率比大大减少的数字信号y(t)54。最后,该数字信号经过数/模转换器输出峰均功率比符合要求的模拟信号32。Converter device embodiment one of the present invention: for designing compandor and digital/analog converter respectively, as shown in Figure 4a, this converter comprises a threshold judging unit 58, an expander 52, a compressor 53 and a Digital/analog converter 56. First, the output of the IFFT
本发明的变换器装置实施例二:对压扩器和数/模转换器进行联合设计。如图4b所示,变换器包括一个门限判断单元58,一个扩张型数/模转换器56和一个压缩型数/模转换器57。在本实施例中,采用数字运算电路对输入数值按照预先确定的函数关系对输入数值直接进行变换,并同时完成数/模转换。门限判断单元可以用软件程序或门限判断电路来实现,以配合后续设备的实现。然后|x(t)|≥m的部分50和|x(t)|<m的部分51分别被送往扩张型数/模转换器56和压缩型数/模转换器57,将它们的输出叠加就能得到峰均功率比符合要求的模拟信号32。
采用本发明的多载波双向通信系统的收发机的实施例构成如图5所示,但是可以理解本发明所述的四个方法实施例并不仅限于用在双向通信设备中,所以多载波通信发射机可以认为是与多载波通信接收机物理分离的设备。The embodiment structure of the transceiver adopting the multi-carrier two-way communication system of the present invention is shown in Figure 5, but it can be understood that the four method embodiments of the present invention are not limited to be used in two-way communication equipment, so the multi-carrier communication transmission The machine can be considered as a device physically separate from the multi-carrier communication receiver.
按照本发明设计的变换器31可以用于如图5上方框所示的多载波通信系统的发射机21中。该发射机21包括一个产生信息流24的信源23,一个编码器25,一个串并转换器27,一个调制器28,一个快速傅立叶反变换(IFFT)数字信号处理器29以及一个变换器31。The
在本实施例中,信息源23产生的携带信息的数据符号流24被送往编码器25,编码器25依次对信息进行信源编码和信道编码。信源编码的目的通常是压缩数据符号流24所携带信息的冗余度,以在同样的时间内传送更多的信息。而信道编码则通常是通过增加数据间的相关性来增强系统在信息恢复时的抗干扰性或进行差错控制。编码器25产生的二进制串行数据流26经过串并转换器27变为二进制并行数据流。调制器28对二进制并行数据流进行第一次调制,将各个并行通道上二进制数据映射为信号星座图上的点,即复数形式的数据。在多载波通信系统中,为了适应频率响应随时间变化的信道,可以对每个并行通道的输出数据流可以采用不同的调制方式。在所描述的实施例中,考虑到一般的信道其频率响应变化不是太剧烈,因而对于每个通道都采用相同的调制方式,其映射关系如下表1所示,即所谓的四相移相键控(QPSK),其中

然后,IFFT数字信号处理器29对该复数值并行序列进行第二次调制,同时将各通道的数据流合并为串行数据流。由于对数字信号进行IFFT处理,相当于用一组彼此正交的正弦(余弦)信号对原来的信号进行频率调制,所以这个过程也被称为正交频分复用。接着,调制后的串行数据流30被送往变换器31。根据系统的要求和所能提供的设备,变换器31可以通过存储映射表按照预先确定的函数关系对输入数值进行一一映射,以满足所要求的PAPR。然后将存储映射表的输出数值进行数/模转换,映射精度由存储映射表的容量决定。或者变换器31采用数字运算电路对输入数值按照预先确定的函数关系对输入数值直接进行变换,以满足所要求的PAPR,并同时完成数/模转换。变换器输出的模拟信号32最后被送往包括功率放大器在内的后级电路(图中未画出)。此时,变换器输出的模拟信号32的PAPR适合后级功率放大器的要求,即信号不会进入功率放大器的非线性区,以致不会引起非线性失真。Then, the IFFT
按照本发明设计的反变换器33可以用于如图5下方框所示的多载波通信系统的接收机22中。该接收机22包括一个反变换器33,一个快速傅立叶变换(FFT)数字信号处理器34,一个解调器35,一个并串转换器36,一个解码器37和一个接受信息的信宿39。The
反变换器33将接收机22前端电路(图中未画出)送来的信号进行与发射机21中的变换器31对信号30所做的操作相反的变换。反变换器的设计原理与变换器的设计原理基本相同,即可以先进行模/数转换,然后通过存储映射表按照预先确定的函数关系对输入数值进行一一映射,也可以采用数字运算电路对输入数值按照预先确定的函数关系对输入数值直接进行变换,并同时完成模/数转换。对于反变换器33,这两种实现方法的选择不一定要和变换器31保持一致,而应该考虑接收机的要求和所能提供的设备。反变换器33的输出数据流先经过FFT数字信号处理器34完成第一次解调,即正交频分解复用。接着FFT数字信号处理器34的输出被送到解调器35,完成第二次解调。由于信道干扰和噪声的影响,解调器35的输入信号与发射机21的调制器28的输出信号相比,存在一定误差,表现在信号星座图上就为信号星座点的偏移和旋转,因此解调器35将进行信号判决,输出与原始信号星座点相符的信号。并串转换器36将解调器35输出的并行数据转换为串行数据流。然后该串行数据流被送入解码器37,解码器37依次完成信道解码和信源解码。最后,解码器37输出与原始信息24基本相同的接收信息38,以满足信宿39的要求。The
与前面介绍的编码,部分传输序列及选择映射的方法相比,本发明的计算量和实现复杂度显然都要小得多。Compared with the encoding, partial transmission sequence and selective mapping methods introduced above, the calculation amount and implementation complexity of the present invention are obviously much smaller.
图6为采用本发明的四个方法实施例的系统的性能与现有技术的性能比较图。在所有实施例中,不失一般性地,多载波通信系统取128个子载波并采用QPSK调制通过合理的设定参数,本发明的四个实施例都能在不增加平均功率的情况下,降低信号的PAPR:线性压缩扩张(参数k=0.5)和非线性准对称压缩扩张(参数u=1)约降低4.1dB,非线性对称压缩扩张(参数u=4)约降低2.9dB,而分段线性压缩扩张(参数k=0.5)约降低5.6dB。可见,本发明可以大大降低信号的峰均功率比,避免了信号进入功率放大器的非线性区,从而避免了由此引起的非线性失真。FIG. 6 is a comparison chart of the performance of the system adopting the four method embodiments of the present invention and the performance of the prior art. In all embodiments, without loss of generality, the multi-carrier communication system uses 128 subcarriers and uses QPSK modulation. By setting parameters reasonably, the four embodiments of the present invention can reduce the average power without increasing Signal PAPR: Linear companding (parameter k=0.5) and nonlinear quasi-symmetric companding (parameter u=1) reduce about 4.1dB, nonlinear symmetric companding (parameter u=4) reduce about 2.9dB, and segment Linear companding (parameter k=0.5) reduces about 5.6dB. It can be seen that the present invention can greatly reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of the signal, and prevent the signal from entering the nonlinear region of the power amplifier, thereby avoiding the nonlinear distortion caused by it.
在同样的参数设置下,对于加性高斯白噪声信道,当要求误比特率等于10-5时,线性压缩扩张、分段线性压缩扩张、非线性对称压缩扩张和非线性准对称压缩扩张所需的信噪比分别为14dB、13dB、13.5dB和12.2dB,而对于同样的PAPR改善,采用现有的限幅滤波的方法所需的信噪比为18dB。与其相比,线性压缩扩张、分段线性压缩扩张、非线性对称压缩扩张和非线性准对称压缩扩张分别有4dB、5dB、4.5dB和5.8dB的改善。可以看出,应用本发明的系统的性能改善是明显的。Under the same parameter setting, for an additive Gaussian white noise channel, when the bit error rate is required to be equal to 10 -5 , the linear companding, piecewise linear companding, nonlinear symmetric companding and nonlinear quasi-symmetric companding require The signal-to-noise ratios are 14dB, 13dB, 13.5dB and 12.2dB respectively, and for the same PAPR improvement, the signal-to-noise ratio required by the existing limiting filtering method is 18dB. Compared with it, linear companding, piecewise linear companding, nonlinear symmetric companding and nonlinear quasi-symmetric companding have 4dB, 5dB, 4.5dB and 5.8dB improvement respectively. It can be seen that the performance improvement of the system applying the present invention is obvious.
当然可以理解前面的描述只是以举例的方式给出的,在本发明的范围内可以进行修改。例如,可以采用其他的变换规则,即其它的压缩扩张曲线和参数设置方案,以及其他的包括硬件和软件在内的物理实现方式。It will of course be understood that the foregoing description has been given by way of example only and that modifications may be made within the scope of the invention. For example, other transformation rules, that is, other compandor curves and parameter setting schemes, and other physical implementation methods including hardware and software may be used.
在目前的多载波通信系统中,本发明完全可以取代现有的限幅滤波和压缩扩张的方法。同时,对于像无线多媒体通信这样实时性要求较高且接收机不宜太复杂的系统来说,本发明可以作为一个候选方案来降低多载波信号的峰均功率比,并保持多载波通信系统本身所具有的优点。In the current multi-carrier communication system, the present invention can fully replace the existing methods of limit filtering and companding and expansion. At the same time, for systems with high real-time requirements such as wireless multimedia communication and the receiver should not be too complicated, the present invention can be used as a candidate solution to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio of multi-carrier signals, and maintain the multi-carrier communication system itself. has advantages.
应该指出,采用本发明的多载波通信技术还可以被应用到光纤通信系统中去。It should be pointed out that the multi-carrier communication technology of the present invention can also be applied to optical fiber communication systems.
