Detailed Description
A new method, system, apparatus and software product are provided for pilot scrambling using scrambling codes in a communication system, such as a wireless/mobile communication system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a sector/cell specific scrambling code is mapped to a plurality of pilot symbols within, for example, an SCH (synchronization channel) repetition period. This improves receiver performance at the sector edge and/or cell edge in, for example, frequency-tight reuse applications. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a scrambling code may be used for the plurality of pilot symbols and other symbols used for communication in the mobile communication system, but alternatively, the scrambling code may be used only for the plurality of pilot symbols and not for any other symbols used for communication in the wireless/mobile communication system. Various embodiments of the present invention focus on randomization of the pilots needed to allow channel estimation for receiver detection to be used in evolutionary techniques such as 3.9G, 4G, etc. Also, the method may be applied to a Downlink (DL) or an Uplink (UL).
According to embodiments of the present invention, the sampling code may be a pseudo-noise (PN) scrambling code, such as a Gold code, a Kasami code, a Hadamard (Hadamard) code, a computer-generated random sequence, an m-sequence, or the like. The particular code is selected to provide predetermined cross-correlation and auto-correlation properties.
Gold sequences (or Gold codes) have a large set of sequences with near-optimal cross-correlation properties, see, e.g., s.sargate, m.pursley, "cross-correlation properties of pseudo and related sequences", IEEE conference proceedings, vol.68, month 5 1980. Kasami sequences may have even better cross-correlation properties but suffer from a relatively small set of sequences. Length Nc=2LSet of Gold sequences of-1, i.e. length 2L-1(L is an integer, L>1) Is generated from a pair of preferred m-sequences.
Gold sequences have predictable ternary cross-correlation properties. For example, for NcThese three correlation values are 15, -1 and-17, for N63cThese three correlation values are also 15, -1 and-17, 127. For Nc63 and NcThe autocorrelation values of 127 are 63 and 127, respectively. Although with Nc63 and NcA set of Gold sequences 127 has the same cross-correlation peak, but NcThe autocorrelation value of 127 is NcTwice as large as 63. Usually, N is usedc127 instead of NcGold sequence detection will be improved by about 3dB for 63. Fig. 1 and 2 show the cross-correlation distribution as a function of the cross-correlation value and the autocorrelation function as a function of the lag time without noise, respectively. Both fig. 1 and fig. 2 are for a Gold sequence of length 127.
The cross-correlation distribution shown in fig. 1 is obtained by cross-correlating one Gold sequence in a set of sequences with another Gold sequence in the set of sequences, the another Gold sequence having a range of [ -Nc/2,Nc/2]Cyclic shift of (2), wherein NcIs the sequence length. The distribution thus corresponds to the number of occurrences of the cross-correlation output value and is shownOnly three values are possible. Fig. 2 shows the autocorrelation for a Gold sequence of length 127 as a function of the lag time in the sample. For a zero lag time, the autocorrelation value is 127. If cross-correlation is used instead of auto-correlation at the zero lag time, then cross-correlation of any sequence in the set with all other sequences in the set produces a correlation output equal to-1. It should be noted that, if desired, an even larger Gold sequence length is used (c>127) Even better detection performance may be provided for multiple pilot symbols.
Further, fig. 3 is one of the examples of a schematic representation of a frame of a sub-frame with one Permanent Common Pilot (PCP)10 scrambled using a Gold code (also referred to herein as a Gold scrambling code) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Similarly, fig. 3b shows another example of a schematic representation of a frame of a sub-frame with two permanent common pilots (20 and 22, respectively) scrambled using Gold codes according to another embodiment of the invention.
In the example of fig. 3a and 3b, an SCH (synchronization channel) repetition period with four sub-frames is assumed. The two cases shown in fig. 3a and 3b have the following parameters:
FIG. 3 a: during one SCH period of e.g. 2ms (frame period 10ms, SCH period 4 sub-frames), a length of N would becThe PN sequence of the Gold sequence of 63 maps to 4 pilot symbols, this example has a pilot overhead of about 3%, i.e., in every 5 subcarriers of an OFDM symbol, 4 subcarriers are allocated to data after one subcarrier is allocated to pilot, and one pilot symbol per subframe, so the pilot overhead is (1/5) × (1/7) ═ 2.85%; and
FIG. 3 b: during one SCH period of e.g. 2ms (again, frame period 10ms, SCH period 4 sub-frames), a length of N would becThe PN sequence of the Gold sequence of 127 maps to 8 pilot symbols, which example has a pilot overhead of about 6%, i.e., 4 data allocated one subcarrier after the pilot in every 5 subcarriers of an OFDM symbolSubcarriers, and two pilot symbols per subframe, the pilot overhead is therefore (1/5) × (2/7) ═ 5.71%. The use of two pilot symbols per sub-frame in fig. 3b allows for a larger Gold sequence length.
It is noted that for greater pilot density, a larger PN (e.g., Gold code) length may be used, which would allow more subcarriers to be allocated for pilots in the frequency domain and more pilot symbols to be allocated per subframe in the time domain.
The scrambling code for the larger Bandwidth (BW) may be broadcast in the system information or determined by a one-to-one mapping between the scrambling code detected in, for example, 1.25MHz and the scrambling code used in the larger BW. The scrambling code can be detected with a high detection probability. For example, in the example shown in fig. 3a and 3b, a 70% detection rate is observed at a SNR (signal to noise ratio) as low as-5 dB in typical vehicle-mounted situations.
Fig. 4 is one example among others of a block diagram of a mobile communication system 41 with pilot scrambling using Gold scrambling codes according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In the example of fig. 4, a network element (e.g., node B)40 and a mobile station (or user equipment) 42 may include similar components to facilitate bi-directional transmission with pilot scrambling using PN (e.g., Gold) scrambling codes, such that either the network element 40 or the user equipment 42 may be a transmitter or a receiver, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. These components are respectively: PN code generators 46 and 46a, signal generation/synchronization/coding/transmission modules 44 and 44a, and signal reception/synchronization/decoding modules 48 and 48 a. In the context of the present invention, the mobile station (or user equipment) 42 may be a wireless communication device, portable device, mobile communication device, mobile phone, mobile camera phone, or the like. In the example of fig. 4, the network element 40 may be, for example, a node B, RNC (radio network controller), a BTS (base transceiver station), etc. In the case of DL (or UL) communications, the PN code generator 46 (or 46a) may provide the module 44(44a) with a PN code signal 50(50a) comprising a PN (e.g., Gold) scrambling code sequence, according to one embodiment of the present invention. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, module 44(44a) may then generate a DL communication signal 52 (or UL communication signal 52a) comprising a plurality of pilot symbols scrambled using a PN (e.g., Gold) code. The signal receiving/synchronizing/decoding module 48 (or 48a) can then receive the communication signal 52 (or 52a) and decode the plurality of pilot symbols using a PN (e.g., Gold) scrambling code. It should be noted that in the example of fig. 4, the functionality of the same pair of modules 46 and 46a, 44 and 44a, 48 and 48a that facilitate DL and UL communications may have similar or different implementations in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
According to one embodiment of the invention, modules 46, 46a, 44a, 48 and 48a may be implemented as software modules, hardware modules or a combination thereof. Further, each of the modules 46, 46a, 44a, 48 and 48a may be implemented as a separate module or may be combined with any other standard module of the network element 40 or the mobile station 42, or may be divided into several modules/blocks according to their functionality.
All or selected blocks or modules of the network element 40 may be implemented using an integrated circuit, as may all or selected blocks of the user equipment 42.
Fig. 5 is an example among others of a flow chart illustrating pilot scrambling using a pseudo-noise scrambling code according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The flow chart of fig. 5 represents only one of the possible scenarios. The order of the steps shown in fig. 5 is not absolutely required, so the various steps may generally be performed out of order. In a method according to an embodiment of the invention, in a first step 70 a transmitter (e.g. a network element such as a node B or a user equipment) generates a pseudo-noise scrambling code selected to provide predetermined cross-correlation and auto-correlation properties. In a next step 72, the transmitter maps the pseudo-noise scrambling code to a plurality of pilot symbols. In a next step 74, the transmitter sends a communication signal comprising a plurality of pilot symbols encoded with a pseudo-noise scrambling code to a receiver (e.g. a user equipment or a network element such as a node B). In a next step 76, the receiver receives the communication signal and it decodes the plurality of pilot symbols with the pseudo-noise scrambling code.
The pilot scrambling detection described in the different embodiments of the invention (see fig. 1-5) is typically carried out by a practical DSP (digital signal processing) operation known to those skilled in the art.
As described above, the present invention provides both a method and corresponding apparatus consisting of various modules providing the functionality for performing the steps of the method. These modules may be implemented in hardware, or in software or firmware for execution by a computer processor. In particular, if firmware or software, the invention can be provided as a computer program product including a computer readable memory structure embodying computer program code (i.e., the software or firmware) thereon for execution by the computer processor.
It should be noted that the various embodiments of the present invention recited herein can be used separately, combined or selectively combined for specific applications.
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. Numerous modifications and alternative arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention, and the appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements.
