Background technology
With TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access, time division multiple access), FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access, frequency division multiple access) technology is compared, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access, code division multiple access) technology has unarguable advantage at aspects such as power system capacity, anti-interference, network quality and confidentiality.But, CDMA is that multiple access disturbs and the multipath interference limiting system, when the signal of transmission higher rate, the code-element period of cdma system shortens greatly, thereby when (broadband) transfer of data at a high speed, must be subjected to the influence of intersymbol interference, when especially transmitting in the more serious wireless channel of multipath fading, intersymbol interference is even more serious.Because the restriction of multipath fading and existing frequency bandwidth, the message transmission rate of cdma system can only reach 2Mbps, and data rate is lower, the growth requirement of not competent high-speed multimedia data communication.
And OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) technology has excellent properties such as anti-channel fading and anti-multipath interference just, be specially adapted to the wireless high-speed data transmission, its message transmission rate can be up to arriving 100Mbps, far above cdma system.This is that at transmitting terminal, the two-forty information data is divided into the several rate data streams because in ofdm system, modulates with same group of respective numbers and mutually orthogonal carrier wave then, and the signal after all modulation superposes and sends; At receiving terminal, the quadrature carrier that adopts same quantity carries out coherent reception to sending signal, obtain the low rate information data after, be converted to original two-forty information by parallel/serial again.By the basic principle of OFDM as can be known, ofdm system be the information dispersion that will transmit to many subcarriers, each sub-carrier signal speed is descended greatly, thereby can resist the multipath effect in the two-forty modulating system effectively.Up to the present, the OFDM technology has obtained in IEEE 802.11a/g, 802.11n (WLAN/Wi-Fi), WiMAX, UWB, DVB, B3G (LTE)/fields such as 4G extensively and successful application.
Therefore, many researchers begin to consider OFDM and CDMA technology are merged, and promptly inquire into OFDM and CDMA hybrid technology, so that made full use of OFDM and two technology of CDMA advantage separately.At present very extensive at the research direction of two technological incorporation, the multicarrier CDMA scheme of main flow has following three kinds: MC-CDMA (Multi-carrierCDMA), MC-DS-CDMA (Multi-carrier Direct Spreading CDMA), MT-CDMA (Multi-tone CDMA).Existing document analysis shows, remarkable advantage such as that MC-CDMA has is simple in structure, ability of anti-multipath is strong, anti-narrow band interference ability is strong, the availability of frequency spectrum is high, data rate is high, the multiple access access capability is superior, and its combination property is better than all the other two kinds of schemes, has therefore obtained extensive studies and application.
In the MC-CDMA technology of research at present, the same with ofdm system, in order to eliminate the influence of ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference, intersymbol interference), need to add Cyclic Prefix at interval as protection.In addition, carry out functions such as synchronous and channel estimating realizes for auxiliary receiver, also need between the useful data of frequency domain, insert the pilot tone that accounts for total number ofsub-carriers 5%~15%, and this can reduce the spectrum efficiency of MC-CDMA system undoubtedly, in frequency spectrum resource precious today, this obviously runs counter to the demand of development communication technologies.

Spreading code in the multi-carrier spread spectrum receiving/transmission method of the Domain Synchronous of the embodiment of the invention can be any quadrature or quasi-orthogonal sequence, as m sequence, Gold sequence, Walsh sequence or other any quadratures or quasi-orthogonal sequence.And spreading factor (being the length of spreading code) can come flexible configuration according to the demand of system design and the characteristics of spreading code itself, and selecting the Walsh sequence for use with spreading code is example, and spreading code length can be 1,2,4,8,16.Total number of sub-carriers in the frame structure of this method can be come flexible configuration according to the demand of system design, can be 64,256,1024,2048,8196.Training sequence can be any known sequences, as m sequence, Gold sequence, Walsh sequence, Kasami sequence, LA sequence, ZCZ sequence etc.For known known training sequence in the multi-carrier spread spectrum method of sending and receiving of Domain Synchronous, the special characteristic that this sequence possessed, can be on time domain, also can be on frequency domain, particularly, selecting length for use with training sequence is that 127 m sequence is an example, for example, the special characteristic of training sequence on time domain, promptly training sequence itself be exactly length be 127 m sequence; The special characteristic of training sequence can be on frequency domain, and promptly training sequence itself is not that length is 127 m sequence, but length is that 127 m sequence is through the resulting sequence after the inverse Fourier transform.
As can be seen from the above embodiments, with maximum different being of TDS-OFDM system, having introduced CDMA technology in the TDS-MC-CDMA system that the present invention proposes, thereby made this technology of TDS-OFDM possess superior multiple access access capability.In addition, only limit to the PN sequence with time-domain training sequence in the TDS-OFDM system or expansion PN sequence is different, the known training sequence in the TDS-MC-CDMA system that the present invention proposes can be any known sequences.In addition, to only limit to time domain different with training sequence in the TDS-OFDM system, known training sequence itself in the TDS-MC-CDMA system that the present invention proposes can not be the sequence that has possessed some certain features on time domain, but on frequency domain, possess the sequence of some certain features, be fourier transformed into sequence after the time domain as processes such as PN sequences.Maximum different being with traditional MC-CDMA system; the TDS-MC-CDMA system that the present invention proposes uses for reference and has expanded the notion of Domain Synchronous in the TDS-OFDM system; replaced the protection interval of the Cyclic Prefix among the MC-CDMA with known training sequence, thereby made the spectrum efficiency of this multi-carrier spread-spectrum system improve about 5%~15% as the IDFT data block.Fig. 2 has provided the contrast of signal frame structure in this two different multi-carrier spread-spectrum system of MC-CDMA and TDS-MC-CDMA, we are as can be seen from figure, signal frame in the MC-CDMA system is made of IDFT data block and Cyclic Prefix thereof, and the signal frame in the TDS-MC-CDMA system then is made of IDFT data block and known training sequence.
Based on above-mentioned specific embodiment, we have carried out Computer Simulation to the main performance of the synchronous multi-carrier spread spectrum communication system (TDS-MC-CDMA) of major parameter non-coded time domain as shown in table 1.The channel that emulation is adopted is four kinds of multipath channel models that AWGN (Additive White GaussionNoise, additive white Gaussian noise) channel and ITU (International TelecommunicationUnion, International Telecommunication Association) recommend.Table 1 is the major parameter of TDS-MC-CDMA system emulation; Table 2 is the ITU multipath channel models.

Fig. 3 has provided the BER performance comparison of TDS-MC-CDMA system and TDS-OFDM system under the awgn channel, and in different spreading factors (SF) the BER performance of TDS-MC-CDMA system down.Modulation system is BPSK.As can be seen, under different spreading factors, the TDS-MC-CDMA system will obtain spreading gain SF from simulation result, and spreading factor is big more, and then the BER performance of system is good more; (be equivalent to not spread spectrum) when SF=1, TDS-MC-CDMA deteriorates to general TDS-OFDM system, and this moment, the BER of the two was in full accord.Simulation result also shows, when the TDS-MC-CDMA system is buried in the noise at subscriber signal fully, and the extraction user data that system still can be correct.Getting 2 with spreading factor SF is example, even when the channel signal to noise ratio is zero, the TDS-MC-CDMA system receiving terminal error rate still can reach 0.002, if technology such as the chnnel coding of adding or forward error corrections, system still just can satisfy the requirement that real system is used in this case.And the TDS-OFDM system is powerless already.
Fig. 4 has provided TDS-MC-CDMA and DS-CDMA system BER performance comparison and the anti-multipath property comparison under awgn channel.The spreading factor of the two is 16, and modulation system is BPSK.As can be seen, under awgn channel, the TDS-MC-CDMA system promotes about 3dB than DS-CDMA systematic function from simulation result.Under ITU indoor multipath channel model A, the BER performance of TDS-MC-CDMA and DS-CDMA system all worsens, but MC-CDMA has the stronger ability to anti-multipath than DS-CDMA.In Fig. 4, when BER=0.001, the Normalized Signal/Noise Ratio thresholding of DS-CDMA system is brought up to 8.5dB from-2.5dB, be that signal to noise ratio need improve 11dB, but in the TDS-MC-CDMA system, bring up to-1.7dB from-5.3dB, promptly signal to noise ratio need improve 3.6dB, much smaller than the required 11dB of DS-CDMA system.Because the TDS-MC-CDMA multicarrier can come flexible allocation resource (as transmitting power, modulation system etc.) according to the characteristic of different sub carrier upper signal channel, and can carry out frequency interlacing very easily, therefore, after having adopted bit loading and frequency-domain-interleaving technology, the ability of the how anti-frequency-selective channel of MC-CDMA will strengthen again greatly.
Fig. 5 has provided TDS-MC-CDMA and the MC-CDMA system BER performance comparison under awgn channel and multipath channel.As can be seen, TDS-MC-CDMA is all consistent with MC-CDMA with BER performance under the multipath channel at AWGN from simulation result.But as noted before; because TDS-MC-CDMA has adopted known training sequence to replace the Cyclic Prefix among the MC-CDMA as protection at interval; and known training sequence can be carried out synchronously and channel estimating as auxiliary receiver; thereby need not extra pilot tone, thereby make the efficiency of transmission of TDS-MC-CDMA system improve about 5%~15%.
Fig. 6 has provided the BER performance curve of TDS-MC-CDMA system under various typical multipath channel models.Under awgn channel, the BER performance of system is best; Along with the enhancing of multipath, the BER mis-behave, in the vehicle-mounted multipath channel models B of the most tangible ITU of multipath effect, BER worsens at most.
Indoor represents indoor environment in Fig. 4~6; Vehicular represents vehicle environment.Usernumber represents number of users among Fig. 7.
Fig. 7 has provided the simulation result of TDS-MC-CDMA system at the resisting multi-user jamming performance.System adopt spreading factor be 16 Walsh sequence as spreading code, modulation system is BPSK.Because the Walsh sequence between the different user is completely orthogonal, so when number of users is less than or equal to 16, but the equal despreading of TDS-MC-CDMA system goes out used user's signal.The simulation result of Fig. 7 shows that also when having the multi-user (16 users), because the complete quadrature of spreading code between each user, the BER of its system and single user are in full accord, therefore can avoid multi-user interference fully.
The present invention is the organically blending of core technology TDS-OFDM (Time Domain Synchronous-OFDM) of CDMA technology and Chinese terrestrial DTV transmission standard, we are referred to as the multi-carrier spread spectrum receiving/transmission method of Domain Synchronous, i.e. the receiving/transmission method of TDS-MC-CDMA (TimeDomain Synchronous-Multi Carrier-CDMA) system.As can be seen from the above embodiments; in the present invention; we fully use for reference this original technology of TDS-OFDM (referring to the national standard of issuing in August, 2006 " (the frame structure chnnel coding and the modulation of digital television ground broadcast transmission system "; GB 20600-2006), adopt known sequences to be inserted between the OFDM data block at interval as protection as training sequence rather than as the Cyclic Prefix in the traditional MC-CDMA system.The known array that inserts not only can play protection work at interval in order to eliminate ISI; can also be used for auxiliary reception carries out synchronously and channel estimating; therefore in the TDS-MC-CDMA scheme, need not extra pilot tone, thereby make the spectrum efficiency of this multi-carrier spread-spectrum system improve about 5%~15%.On the other hand, TDS-OFDM is mainly used in descending broadcast channel transmission, do not have the multiple access access capability, and the TDS-MC-CDMA scheme that the present invention proposes not only makes this technology of TD-OFDM possess the function that multiple access inserts, and the multiple access access capability of this scheme be much higher than proposed in 2009 based on the multiple access access scheme TDS-OFDMA of TDS-OFDM (with reference to L.Dai, J.Fu, etc, " ANovel Time Domain Synchronous Orthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiple Access Scheme; " in Proc.IEEE Global CommunicationsConference (Globecom ' 09), Hawaii, USA, Nov.2009).
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the technology of the present invention principle; can also make some improvement and modification, these improve and modification also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
