协同OFDM系统中一种改进的相位跟踪算法 　　摘 要:与MIMO-OFDM系统相比,协同OFDM(CO-OFDM)系统的优势是适用于尺寸较小的用户终端,劣势是不同步的节点晶振和多普勒频移导致系统出现多个载波频偏(MCFO),从而在接收端形成载波间干扰(ICI)。为了消除ICI对??CO-OFDM??系统性能的影响,将适用于1-2-1模型的“相位跟踪”算法推广至1-3-1模型,并通过重新设置导频序列和改变相位漂移计算方式,对已有的相位跟踪算法进行改进,使运算复杂度降低,有利于在实际系统中部署。仿真结果表明,改进后的算法在较高信噪比条件下进一步提高了系统性能。关键词:协同正交频分复用; 多个载波频偏; 载波间干扰; 相位跟踪 　　中图分类号:TN929-34文献标识码:A 　　文章编号:1004-373X(2010)17-0052-05 　　 　　Improved Phase Tracking Algorithm in Cooperative OFDM Systems 　　TANG Ting, WANG Xin, WEI Ji-bo 　　(College of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China) 　　Abstract: Compared to conventional MIMO-OFDM systems, the cooperative OFDM(CO-OFDM) systems have the advantage that is suitable for all kinds of user terminals with small size receivers. However, multiple carrier frequency offsets (MCFO) caused by the mismatch of the nodes crystal oscillators or Doppler frequency shifts result in an inter-carrier interference (ICI) and decrease the performance of CO-OFDM systems significantly. In order to mitigate the ICI in CO-OFDM systems, a so-called phase-tracking algorithm applied to 1-2-1 models is directly extended to 1-3-1 models in this paper. By resetting the pilot frequency sequence and changing the computing method, an improved phase-tracking algorithm is also gave out. It cuts down the computing complexity, so can be adopted in practical systems. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm can further improve the system performance at high SNR.Keywords: CO-OFDM; MCFO; ICI; phase tracking 　　 　　0 引 言 　　通过伙伴之间相互协作,参与协同通信的各用户之间形成虚拟天线阵列,在实现MIMO通信系统分集功能的同时,有效降低了系统对通信终端尺寸和硬件设计实现的较高要求。然而,由于多个天线分属具有不同本地晶振的多个用户节点,导致节点之间存在MCFO。对于采用OFDM调制的协同通信系统而言,MCFO的存在必然破坏子载波之间的正交性,从而产生载波间干扰,导致系统性能恶化。因此,实现MCFO的精确估计和有效补偿是CO-OFDM系统走向实用化的关键技术之一。 　　相比于传统MIMO-OFDM系统的单个频偏估计,CO-OFDM系统的中继节点和目的节点之间MCFO的估计显得更加复杂,实现载波间干扰的消除也更加困难。当目的节点完成MCFO的精确估计之后,文献[1]通过一种增强的迭代最大似然检测算法(EIMLD),先后实现对载波间干扰(ICI)和符号间干扰(ISI)的消除,算法的复杂度随着节点数目的增加而递增,且在硬件实现时需要在目的端设置一个容量较大的缓存器。
