TITLE OF THE INVENTION
CINR ESTIMATING METHOD AND DEVICE USING PREAMBLE IN OFDM BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carrier to interference-plus-noise ratio
(CINR) estimating method and device of an orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) scheme. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device and method thereof that are capable of efficiently estimating the CINR when a preamble subcarrier or a pilot subcarrier transmit power is different from a data subcarrier transmit power in the OFDM system, the respective base stations uses preamble subcarriers whose positions are different, or a data area is partially loading.
(b) Description of the Related Art
In a fourth generation mobile communication system requiring high capacity data transmission such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless broadcasting, or DMB, the OFDM system has been used so as to transmit wideband high speed data. The OFDM system divides a bandwidth into a plurality of subcarrier and transmits the divided bandwidth, and the basic function of OFDM is to convert serially input data streams into N parallel data items, respectively load the N parallel data items on the independent subcarriers, and transmit them so as to increase a data rate.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a data transmitting/receiving system using an OFDM system.
An OFDM transmit system includes an encoder 102, a serial/parallel
(S/P) converter 104, a preamble or pilot generator 106, a multiplexer 108, an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) converter 110, a parallel/serial (P/S) converter 112, and a digital/analogue (D/A) converter and filter 114, and a receive system includes an analogue/digital (A/D) converter and filter 116, an S/P converter 118, a fast Fourier transform (FFT) converter 120, a demultiplexer 122, a preamble or pilot extractor 124, a P/S converter 126, and a decoder 128.
The encoder 110 modulates data to be transmitted into a desired modulation scheme, for example, binary phase shift key (BPSK), quadrature phase shift key (QPSK), 16 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), and 64 QAM schemes.
The S/P converter 104 converts serially received high-speed data into low-speed parallel data, and the preamble or pilot generator 106generat.es a pilot or preamble to be loaded on the transmit data. The multiplexer 108 multiplexes the transmit data received from the S/P converter 104 with the preamble or pilot generated by the preamble or pilot generator 106.
The IFFT converter 110 converts the multiplexed data into time-axis signals, and the P/S converter 112 converts the parallel signal into serial data and adds a cyclic prefix to a front of the converted data.
The D/A converter and filter 114 converts a digital format of the transmit data that is converted into the serial signal by the P/S 112 into an analog signal, filters the converted data, and transmits the same to an antenna of an RF unit.
An antenna of the receiving system receives the transmitted analog signal, and the A/D converter and filter 116 filters and converts the analog signal into the digital signal. The S/P converter 118 eliminates the cyclic prefix and
converts the digital signal into the parallel signal and transmits the converted signal to the FFT converter 110, the FFT converter 110 performs a Fourier transform on the transmitted parallel signal and transmits the transformed signal to the demultiplexer 122, the demultiplexer 122 demultiplexes the data, and then the preamble or pilot extractor 124 separates a preamble or pilot signal from the data. The P/S converter 126 converts the separated parallel data signal into the serial signal. The decoder 128 demodulates data using a channel estimating value estimated by the preamble or pilot signal extracted from the preamble or pilot extractor 124. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a data transmitting/receiving system using an OFDM system.
The data multiplexed in the multiplexer 108 and transmitted to the receiving system includes a data symbol directly including the preamble and the data. The preamble includes frame synchronization, cell search, time/frequency synchronization, and channel estimating information. Generally, the preamble is placed at the front of the frame, but it may be placed at the middle or rear thereof.
A mobile communication system such as a high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) and an evolution data only (1x EV-DO) system adopts an adaptive modulation and coding scheme (AMC) that is capable of changing the modulation scheme and a channel coding rate according to a channel environment, so as to increase a data rate, and has various modulation and coding scheme (MCS) levels that are selectable according to the channel
environment. At this time, in order to select an accurate MCS level, instantaneous channel CINR is estimated.
The CINR may be directly estimated using data, and it may be indirectly estimated using a preamble by applying the preamble to the data area. FIG. 3 is a block diagram for showing a conventional CINR estimating algorithm.
According to the conventional CINR estimating method using a preamble, differences between adjacent subcarriers using an operator are obtained from the receive signal rm (S302), the differences are averaged to estimate an interference power (S304), and the inverse estimated interference power is obtained (S306).
In addition, a predetermined number of moving averages are calculated from the received signal (S308), and the moving averages are averaged to estimate a signal power (S310). In addition, the CINR is calculated from the signal power and the interference power estimated through S306 to S310 (S312).
According to the CINR calculating method using data, the high CINR area has good accuracy. However, the low CINR area in which the received data reliability is deteriorated has considerably reduced accuracy. In addition, according to the CINR calculating method using a preamble, good CINR estimating accuracy is provided. However, the respective base stations must have a preamble sequence placed on the subcarriers having the same position, and also errors may occurs at the high CINR area when the preamble transmit power is different from the data transmit power.
The preamble has all adjacent cells always transmitted, and accordingly it is used to estimate the CINR to thereby determine the data area MCS.
However, in the case of partial loading, that is, the adjacent cells partially use a subcarrier, the preamble CINR is always less than that of the real data area. Accordingly, an optimum MCS level cannot be determined.
FIGs. 4 and 5 illustrate preamble sequence allocation in which a subcarrier transmits a preamble in a cellular system.
FIG. 4 illustrates a cellular system having a cell 0 including a receiver for receiving data and six adjacent cells, in which receive signals are interfered with by the adjacent cells.
OFDM uses various preamble and data area subcarrier allocation methods. Generally, the preamble is transmitted every N number of subcarriers, is selected at a sequence having a low peak to average power ratio
(PAPR), and is transmitted while amplifying the power in comparison with the data symbol.
In FIG. 5, the preamble sequence is transmitted every 4 subcarriers.
The subcarrier transmission interval or a start point of the transmitted subcarrier may be variously established. At this time, Pmq(n) is given as the preamble sequence used at the respective base stations, q is given as a cell number, m is given as a subcarrier number, and n is given as a symbol number.
As shown in FIG. 5, when the preamble is used at the same subcarriers for all the cells, and the preamble transmission power is the same as the data transmission power, the CINR can be accurately estimated. However, when the preamble transmission power is amplified to be greater than the data
transmission power, in the case of the high CINR area, an error occurs between the CINR estimated at the preamble and the CINR of the data symbol.
In order to enhance cell search performance or channel estimating performance using a preamble, the respective cells can use the subcarriers differently within the preamble symbol. Such a method has been applied to the IEEE 802.16 (a wideband wireless communication standard). There is a problem in that the CINR value estimated using a subcarrier is different from the data area CINR value determined when all the subcarriers are used, when the subcarriers of the preambles used in the respective cells are different. FIGs. 6 and 7 respectively illustrate a cellular system in which a preamble sequence is allocated when respective cells transmit a preamble using a different subcarrier.
FIG. 6 illustrates segments having a segment a, a segment b, and a segment c used at preambles of the respective cells using IEEE 802.16. In addition, FIG. 7 illustrates subcarriers using preambles at a cell structure used in FIG. 6. The interference to be estimated at the preamble structure can only estimate Cell 2, Cell 4, and Cell 6 when such subcarriers are used. Therefore, the interference of Cell 1 , Cell 3, and Cell 5 may not be estimated, and the preamble CINR may be estimated to be higher than the CINR of the real data area. Accordingly, there is a problem in that such an error is variously changed according to the segments used at the preamble.
In addition, there is a problem in that an error occurs between the CINR using the preamble and the data area CINR when the data area is partially loaded since the CINR estimating method using the preamble does not regard
the data loading, and it is performed if the subcarriers are always allocated for all the data areas.
In order to measure a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in such an OFDM system, Korea Patent Application No. 10-2003-0039580 entitled "A Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Measuring Method and Apparatus using a Repeated Signal in an OFDM ", an IEEE PIMRC paper entitled "Experimental Evaluation Throughput Performance in Broadband Packet Wireless Access Based on VSF-OFCDM and VSF-CDMA" (2003), and an IEEE GLOBECOM paper entitled "Novel Noise Variance and SNR Estimation Algorithm for Wireless MIMO OFDM" (2003) disclose a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) measuring method using a repeated signal, two adjacent subcarriers of a pilot symbol, and two consecutive training symbols. However, the CINR has not been estimated when the subcarriers used by the preambles of the respective cells are different and the data are partially loading. The above information disclosed in this Background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention, and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in an effort to provide a CINR estimating method and device of an OFDM system having advantages of efficiently estimating the CINR when a transmit power of a preamble subcarrier or pilot subcarrier is different from a transmit power of a data subcarrier in the OFDM system, when the preamble subcarrier is used at different positions of the
respective base stations or when a data area is partially loading.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, only certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, simply by way of illustration. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.
A method for obtaining a receive signal considering adjacent cell interference of a data area is given as Equation 1. (Equation 1)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram for estimating a CINR when a preamble power is amplified in comparison with a data symbol power, and a preamble has subcarriers not to be transmitted. For convenience of description, the transmitted preamble is described based on a preamble shown in FIG. 5. At this time, a received signal recognized through a receive preamble symbol 602 is given as Equation 2. (Equation 2)
When a base station including a receiver is given as an i-th base station, a difference of adjacent preamble subcarriers may be calculated by Equation 3. (Equation 3)

Through such assumption, Equation 3 is calculated as follows.

An interference power and noise power estimator 606 can calculate an interference power and noise power V as Equation 5 using the receive preamble symbol and transmit subcarrier. (Equation 5)
In Equation 5, M is given as a number of a subcarrier to which the preamble transmits a sequence, I is an average of respective normalized subcarrier interference power, and W is an average of noise power.
Since a transmit power estimator 608 outputs m~° , a preamble CINR estimator 610 estimates a CINR of the preamble as Equation 6. (Equation 6)
CJNRpreamble
V Pp I+ W
In Equation 6, S is given as an average of the subcarrier receive power excluding the normalized interference and the noise. At this time, when the preamble transmit power is the same as the data subcarrier transmit power, that is, Pp = PD, and the preamble estimating CINR is the data area CINR, the data area CINR may be directly estimated from the preamble for estimating CINR. However, an error occurs when the preamble transmit power is different from the
data subcarrier transmit power. Such an error will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 9.
In order to correct such an error, a noise power is calculated from the subcarrier not transmitting the preamble sequence using a noise power estimator 604.
A received signal of the subcarrier not transmitting the preamble sequence is given as r4m+g(n) = w4m+g(n), (g=1 ,2,3), and accordingly, the noise power Wunused thereof is calculated as follows.

W u, nused i λ J- Σ Σ \w4m+g(n)\
At this time, since W = Wunused, the normalized interference power size is given as I = (V-WUnused)/Pp- As a result, the data subcarrier CINR estimator 612 calculates the average CINR of the data subcarrier as Equation 7. (Equation 7)

C™U = ( , V , - W „mus Ted) / β. + , W „:mused t = PrIPD
FIG. 9 is an error graph in which an error occurs when a preamble transmit power is different from a data transmit power.
When the estimating preamble CINR is calculated according to Equation 6,
S/W=10dB, and the preamble/data subcarrier power ratio is given as β , as
shown in FIG. 9, the preamble is amplified greater 1OdB than the data and accordingly, it is known that error increases as the CIR (carrier to interference
ratio) becomes higher.
In order to correct the error generated in this manner, the noise power estimator 604 calculates a noise power from the subcarrier not transmitting a preamble sequence. In this manner, the CINR can be estimated from the subcarrier not transmitting a preamble sequence when the preamble power is amplified in comparison with the data symbol power.
Meanwhile, when all the preamble subcarriers are used for the data transmission, that is, there is no subcarrier not transmitting a preamble sequence, the CINR estimating method is as follows.
FIG. 10 illustrates an IFFT converter signal input for reducing adjacent band interference by inserting a null subcarrier.
In order to reduce the interference of the adjacent bands in the OFDM, a null subcarrier is used in FIG. 10. The IFFT converter 110 receives the DC subcarrier, the preamble or data subcarrier, and the null subcarrier from the multiplexer 108, and performs the Fourier transform. With the IFFT converter and the null subcarrier, the noise power can be calculated.
FIG. 11 is a block diagram for estimating a CINR when a preamble transmit power is different from a data transmit power and all subcarriers are transmitted.
The CINR estimating method described with reference to FIG. 8 is the same as a CINR estimating method shown in FIG. 11 except for a function of a noise power estimator 604.
That is, when the null subcarrier number is given as Mnull, the noise
power estimator 902 estimates a noise power using the null subcarrier, as shown in Equation 8. (Equation 8)
At this time, rm(n) = wm(n), and a is given as an index of the null subcarrier. Therefore, the data area CINR is calculated as shown in Equation 9.
(Equation 9)
When all the preamble subcarriers are used for the data transmission according to Equation 9, that is, there is no subcarrier not transmitting a preamble, the CINR can be estimated.
Meanwhile, when the respective base stations use the preambles at different subcarrier positions, the preamble estimated CINR is different from the data subcarrier CINR regardless of the preamble transmit power amplification.
In an OFDMA scheme of IEEE 802.16 described below, the respective base stations use a preamble having a subcarrier at different positions.
In IEEE 802.16, a first symbol of a downlink transmission is given as a preamble, and there are three preamble carrier sets. In addition, the three preamble carrier sets respectively have different subcarriers allocated thereon,
and the subcarriers are modulated using a predetermined pseudo noise (PN) code and an amplified BPSK modulation.
At this time, the subcarrier allocated to the predetermined preamble is checked as follows.
PreambleCarrierSetn = n + 3 x k
n is given as a number of the preamble carrier set indexed as 0, 1 , and 2,
and k indicates the consecutive index established as 0, 1, 2, ■ • •, 567 when the
size of the FFT is given as 2048.
In addition, a respective segment is established as a segment 0, a segment 1, and a segment 2, and uses one preamble formed with three available carrier sets. That is, the segment 0 uses a preamble carrier set 0, the segment 1 uses a preamble carrier set 1 , and the segment 2 uses a preamble carrier set 2.
Therefore, in the OFDMA of IEEE 802.16, the respective segments have a third subcarrier modulated as shown in FIG. 7.
FIG. 12 is a block diagram for estimating a CINR of data when respective base stations have different preamble transmit positions.
When the position of the transmitted preamble is different for the respective base stations, the receive preamble subcarrier and receive null subcarrier are respectively calculated so as to estimate the CINR of the data.
First, in order to estimate the receive preamble subcarrier, the interference power is calculated from the adjacent cells included in the segment corresponding to the base station including the receiver.
When the receivers are placed on the cells having the segment a, a
noise power estimator 1008 calculates the received signal for the subcarriers of the preamble received from the segment a as in Equation 10.
[Equation 10]
a+3kx ■* V P
* «+3£v J a+3kx J a+3£v /
In Equation 10, a is given as one of three segments 0, 1 , and 2, k is given as a consecutive index, and qa is the number of adjacent base stations included in the segment a.
At this time, the difference of the subcarriers used at the segment using Equation 3 is the same as that using Equation 11.
[Equation 11 ]
V0+3A = {Pp i))*(«) h9 a+3(W)(«) -Pq a+3*(«) (P a+3it)*(«) hq am(ή)) + *a*W
β+3έ(«)
Therefore, the noise power estimator 1008 estimates the interference power and noise power generated by the segment a as follows. it,- l
Va = -=~ ∑ \va+3 Xk\Z = PPIa + Wa
At this time, K1 is given as the number of subcarriers transmitting the preamble sequence at the segment a, Ia is given as a normalized interference power, and Wa is given as a noise power.
In addition, the interference power received from the cells having different segment values than the base station including the receiver, that is, adjacent cells having the segment b or segment c, is calculated.
First, the signal received from the cells having the segment b is as follows.
rb+3k(n~) = ]fpF ~ ∑ pq b+3k(n) hq b+3k(n) + wb+3k(n) g=0
Therefore, the interference generated by the segment b and the interference and noise power generated by the noise power estimator 1010 are as follows.
At this time, K2 is given as the number of subcarriers transmitting the preamble sequence at the segment b, Ib is a normalized interference power, and Wb is given as a noise power.
Likewise, the interference generated by the segment c and the received signal and interference and noise power received by the noise power estimator 1012 are as follows.
rc+3ktø Pq c+3kW hq c+3k(n) + wc+3k(n)
At this time, K3 is given as the number of subcarriers transmitting the preamble sequence at the segment c, Ic is a normalized interference power, and Wc is given as a noise power.
The interferences and noise powers of the segments b and c may also be calculated in a similar manner to the interference determining method of the
segment a.
At this time, the interferences and noise powers of the segments b and c are calculated as follows.
V4+3* 3(k+i)W - rb+3k(n)) + wb+3(k+1)(n) - wb+3k(n)
vc+ik
3{k+l)(n) - rc+3k(n)) + wc+3(k+l)(n) - wc+3k(n)
Vc = ^- ∑ |vc+3XΛ|2 = PPIC+ Wc
-^/C 3 Ar-O
When the interference and noise powers generated by the segments a, b, and c are estimated as described above, the interference and noise power of the preamble must be estimated from the interference powers according to the respective segments. An interference and noise power estimator 1016 is used to calculate an entire interference and noise power. The entire interference and noise power (V) is calculated as follows.
V = Pp(Ia + Ib + Ic) + Wa+Wb+Wc
At this time, since the noise power of the respective segments statistically have the same characteristics, they are satisfied by
W *WbxW *W I = I +L+I
. When it is given as a b c, the interference and noise power estimator 1016 calculates the entire interference and noise power as in Equation 12.
[Equation 12]
V=Va+Vb+V0=PpI+3W
In Equation 12, since the receive power is given
the preamble CINR estimator 1018 may estimate a preamble as in Equation 13.
[Equation 13]

As such, the CINR of the receive preamble subcarrier is estimated, and the error must be corrected using the null subcarrier. In order to correct the error, the noise power estimator 1004 calculates the noise power Wnull using the null subcarrier by Equation 8.
When the noise power WNuI is calculated, the data subcarrier CINR estimator calculates the CINR of the data area by Equation 9 as Equation 14.
[Equation 14]
CINR - ( C7MW^ 7 P R - P /P
The CINRdata calculated through Equations 9 and 14 is given as a CINR of a full loading in which the base station transmits all the subcarriers. However, when the CINR calculated by the full loading is applied to a part loading in which data areas do not use all the subcarriers, the CINR is less than the CINR of the actually part loading, and accordingly an optimum MCS level is not established. Thus, in the case of the part loading, the CINR of the data subcarriers must be calculated using other methods.
FIG. 13 is a block diagram for estimating a CINR of data when a data area is partially loading.
The adjacent cell interference power can be estimated when the base stations including the receiver at the data area receiver use the subcarrier not to be allocated to other receivers. At this time, an interference power estimator
1104 calculates a noise power and an average value NID of the interference power of the adjacent cells.
At this time, it is given that
««00 = }/Pl S * „00** Jn) + w Jri _ 4=0, q=i , which indicates a received signal of an n-th unused subcarrier. In addition, j is given as a symbol number having an unused subcarrier, and m indicates an index after the unused subcarriers are orderly arranged.
In addition, an interference and noise power estimator 1108 and a preamble CINR estimator 1106 can respectively calculate CINRpreamble and V using Equation 5 or 6, and Equation 12 or 13. When the CINRpreamble and V are calculated, the CINR of the data area that is partially loaded can be calculated as Equation 15.
[Equation 15]
n IλTS — preamble Cm"«" - PNI0
As such, when the power is amplified in comparison with the data symbol,
the preamble can be used to estimate the CINR using Equations 7 and 9, when the subcarriers are differently applied to the respective cells, the CINR is estimated using Equation 14, and when the traffic of the data areas is partially loading, the CINR of the data area is estimated using Equation 15. The above content concerns the CINR estimating method. However, the CINR of Eb(l+No), SINR (signal to interference-plus-noise ratio) or the like can be obtained in the same manner.
While this invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention described above, a precise carrier to interference-plus-noise ratio (CINR) can be estimated using a preamble when the preamble power is amplified in comparison with the data symbol power, the subcarriers are differently applied for the respective cells, and the traffic of the data area is partially loading.
In addition, a precise carrier to interference-plus-noise ratio (CINR) can be estimated even when the preamble transmit power is different from the data transmit power or at the lower CINR area in which the reliability of the received data is deteriorated.
