Description

The establishing method and the setting device that are used for wireless communication system

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of establishing method and setting device that is used for wireless communication system, relate in particular to a kind of establishing method and setting device of guaranteeing the WLAN (wireless local area network) passage estimation running of superelevation throughput.

Background technology

WLAN (wireless local area network) (Wireless Local Area Network, WLAN) technology is one of popular wireless communication technology, be used for military use the earliest, be widely used in various consumption electronic products in recent years, as desktop PC, mobile computer or personal digital assistant, provide masses the more convenient the Internet communication function fast that reaches.Wireless LAN communication consensus standard IEEE 802.11 series are by (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of the international Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), IEEE) formulate, by early stage IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g etc., evolution is to the IEEE 802.11n of present main flow.IEEE 802.11a/g/n standard all adopts OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing, OFDM) modulation technique, different with the IEEE802.11a/g standard is, IEEE 802.11n standard is used multiple-input and multiple-output (Multiple Input Multiple Output, MIMO) technology and other new function, significantly improved data rate and throughput of transmissions (Throughput), simultaneously, Channel Bandwidth increases to 40MHz by 20MHz.

Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is known IEEE 802.The packet format schematic diagram of 11n standard.As shown in Figure 1, the grouping of IEEE 802.11n standard is formed by an advance data (Preamble) and data combination waiting for transmission, and advance data is positioned at each grouping foremost, continues to be data waiting for transmission.In addition, advance data is a mixed format, can be compatible to the Wireless LAN device of IEEE 802.11a/g standard downwards, the field that is comprised is traditional Short Training field L-STF (Legacy Short Training Field) in regular turn, the long training of tradition field L-LTF (Legacy Long Training Field), classical signal field L-SIG (Legacy Signal Field), high-throughput signal field HT-SI G (High-Throughput Signal Field), high-throughput Short Training field HT-STF (High-Throughput Short Training Field) and N the long training of high-throughput field HT-LTF (High-Throughput Long Training Field).Tradition Short Training field L-STF be used to divide into groups initial detection (Start-of-packet Detection), automatic gain control (Automatic Gain Control, AGC), initial frequency drift estimates (Frequency Offset Estimation) and initial time (Time Synchronization) synchronously; It is synchronous that the long training of tradition field L-LTF is used for accurate Frequency offset estimation and time; Classical signal field L-SIG carries the information of data rate and block length.High-throughput signal field HT-SIG carries the information of data rate, and is used for detecting automatically dividing into groups to belong to mixed format or conventional form; High-throughput Short Training field HT-STF is used for automatic gain control; And the long passage estimation of training field HT-LTF to be used for multiple-input and multiple-output of high-throughput, make receiving terminal can judge channel status according to this.

The pattern (Pattern) of the long training of high-throughput field HT-LTF is known by industry, do not give unnecessary details at this, and according to its function, the long training of high-throughput field HT-LTF can be further divided into two classes.The first kind is the long training of data high-throughput field, is used for estimating the state of current (data) employed passage, its quantity N _DLTFQuantity N by space time bundle (Space Time Stream) _STSDetermine, as shown in Figure 2.Second class is used for detecting the exceptional space dimension (Spatial Dimension) of untapped passage, its quantity N for extending the long training of (Extension) high-throughput field _ELTFQuantity N by exceptional space dimension to be detected _ESSDetermine that and both sides relation is same as quantity N shown in Figure 2 _DLTFWith quantity N _STSRelation.In addition, because IEEE 802.11n standard is supported four antennas at the most, therefore, N _DLTF, N _ELTFAll smaller or equal to 4.

On the other hand, in order to reduce the complexity that passage is estimated, known technology is that the long training of high-throughput field HT-LTF is designed to be given different weights and delay and produced by single symbol first (Symbol).Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, (TX1～TX4), transmission ends can determine weight suitable when passage is estimated with the long training of high-throughput field HT-LTF earlier through an extending codes (Spreading Code) matrix at different transmission path; Then (Cyclic Shift Delay CSD) handles, and adds Cyclic Prefix (Cyclic Prefix), with opposing multi-path transmission passage interference through cyclic-shifted delay; Pass through spatial mappings (Spatial Mapping) then and handle, form (Beamforming), in order to promote signal to noise ratio as wave beam; At last, through reverse discrete fourier conversion (Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform), the modulation of realization OFDM is converted to time domain (Time Domain) OFDM modulation symbol unit (OFDM Symbol) sequence with frequency domain (Frequency Domain) list entries.Wherein, the extending codes matrix is one 4 * 4 matrix P _{4 * 4}, detailed content is:
