It is difficult to achieve distortion-free transmission in actual communication channels. In addition, the communication signal is affected by various interference sources at the receiving end. Equalization technology can improve the reliability of communication. Microwave and millimeter wave communication technologies are widely used in various scenarios due to their flexible and convenient use, large bandwidth, high speed, and low transmission delay.

It should be noted that Figure 1 This is merely one example of a particular embodiment and is intended to illustrate the types of components that may be present in the above-described computer device (or electronic device).

[0029] In the above-mentioned operating environment, an embodiment of the present application provides an embodiment of an equalization method of an equalizer. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0030] Figure 2 is a flow chart of an equalization method of an equalizer according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0031] Step S202, namely step 1: obtaining a received first preamble signal sequence and a preset preamble signal sequence.

[0032] The execution subject of the above-mentioned step S202 can be a receiver or an equalizer in the receiver. The above-mentioned preset preamble signal sequence is a preamble sequence pre-set locally. According to the above-mentioned first preamble signal sequence and the preset preamble signal sequence, the offset frequency Δf of the signal in the first preamble signal sequence can be determined. The offset frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the preset preamble signal sequence and the signal in the first preamble signal sequence.

[0033] Step S204, also known as step 2: determining an output value of the equalizer according to the first pilot signal sequence and the first coefficient, wherein the first coefficient is a preset coefficient of the equalizer.

[0034] In the above step S204, the received first pilot signal sequence is sent to a training module for training. The training module is used in a receiver or an equalizer to complete equalization of the first pilot signal sequence and update equalizer coefficients.

[0035] In the equalization filtering process, the output of the linear equalizer is y(n), which is determined by the first pilot signal sequence and the first coefficient. The first coefficient is the coefficient of the equalizer preset before training the first pilot signal sequence. y(n) can be expressed by the following formula (1):

[0036]

[0037] in, is a received first preamble signal sequence; It is the equalizer coefficient before training, that is, the first coefficient, y(n) is the output of the equalizer, n represents the sequence number of the pilot signal sequence, which can also be understood as the number of training times, and the initial value of n can be set to 0.

[0038] Step S206, also known as step 3: determining a first error signal according to a preset pilot signal sequence and an output value of the equalizer.

[0039] In the above step S206, the first error signal can be represented by e(n), and the pre-set pilot signal sequence is the expected response, which can be represented by d(n). Then, the first error signal can be represented by the following formula (2):

[0040] e(n)=d(n)-y(n)

[0041] Step S208, also known as step 4: when the absolute value of the first error signal is greater than the first preset threshold, update the first coefficient, and repeat steps 2 and 3 according to the updated first coefficient until the first error signal is less than the first preset threshold, then stop updating the first coefficient.

[0042] In the above step S208, each time the first coefficient is updated, formula (1) and formula (2) are executed again according to the updated first coefficient to calculate a new y(n) and a new e(n). Based on the relationship between the absolute value of the new e(n) and the first preset threshold, it is determined whether to continue updating the first coefficient.

[0043] It should be noted that the above step numbers 1-3 are only for convenience of reference and do not constitute a limitation on the order of step execution.

[0044] Through the above steps, the first preamble signal sequence received and the first coefficients of the equalizer are obtained, the output value of the equalizer is determined, and according to the preset preamble signal sequence and the output value of the equalizer, the first error signal is determined. Thus, when the absolute value of the first error signal is greater than the first preset threshold, different methods are used to update the first coefficients of the equalizer until the first error signal is less than the first preset threshold, at which point the update of the first coefficients of the equalizer is stopped, achieving the purpose of improving the convergence speed of the equalizer, thereby realizing the technical effect of improving the performance of the communication system, and further solving the technical problem in the related art that the adjustment of the received preamble signal by the equalizer results in a slow convergence speed and reduces the system performance.

[0045] In step S208 of the equalization method of the above equalizer, when the absolute value of the first error signal is greater than the first preset threshold, the first coefficients are updated, which specifically includes the following steps: when the absolute value of the first error signal is greater than the first preset threshold and less than the second preset threshold, the first coefficients are updated in the first way, where the second preset threshold is greater than the first preset threshold; when the absolute value of the first error signal is greater than the second preset threshold, the first coefficients are updated in the second way.

[0046] In the above step S208, the absolute value of the first error signal can be represented by abs(e(n)), and the above first preset threshold can be represented by the error threshold A. By judging the relationship between abs(e(n)) and A, when abs(e(n)) < A, it is considered that the equalizer has converged, and at this time, there is no need to update the first coefficients of the equalizer, and the equalization process of the user data can be normally entered subsequently; when abs(e(n)) > A, it is also necessary to judge the relationship between abs(e(n)) and the second preset threshold. In the embodiments of the present application, the second preset threshold can be, for example, 2A or any value greater than A, and the second preset threshold is preferably 2A. When the value of abs(e(n)) is between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, for example, when A < abs(e(n)) < 2A, the first coefficients are updated in the first way, and when the value of abs(e(n)) is greater than the second preset threshold, for example, when abs(e(n)) > 2A, the first coefficients are updated in the second way. The following details these two ways.

[0047] In the equalization method of the above equalizer, updating the first coefficients in the first way specifically includes the following steps: performing phase compensation on the signals in the first preamble signal sequence to obtain a second preamble signal sequence; performing phase correction on the first coefficients to obtain second coefficients; updating the first coefficients according to the second coefficients, the first error signal, the second preamble signal sequence, and the third coefficients, where the third coefficients are used to represent the step size of the update of the second coefficients.

[0048] In the equalization method of the above equalizer, phase compensation is performed on the signals in the first preamble signal sequence to obtain a second preamble signal sequence, which specifically includes the following steps: determining phase compensation information, where the phase compensation information includes the length of the first preamble signal sequence, the phase compensation coefficient, the offset frequency of the signals in the first preamble signal sequence, and the signal sampling rate of the signals in the first preamble signal sequence; performing phase compensation on the signals in the first preamble signal sequence according to the phase compensation information and the first preamble signal sequence to obtain a second preamble signal sequence.

[0049] In the equalization method of the above equalizer, phase correction is performed on the first coefficient to obtain a second coefficient, which specifically includes the following steps: determining phase compensation information; performing phase correction on the first coefficient according to the phase compensation information and the first coefficient to obtain a second coefficient.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, according to the condition for updating the first coefficient in the first manner, this condition can be, for example, A < abs(e(n)) < 2A. In this case, it is considered that the equalizer has not reached the optimal state, and equalizing the user data in this state will cause problems such as a poor error vector magnitude (EVM) or even bit errors. At this time, the received first preamble signal sequence is sent to the training module for training again. Since using repeated data for training will cause the phase of the signal to be discontinuous, it is necessary to perform phase compensation on the signals in the first preamble signal sequence that is sent to the training module for training again, so as to obtain a second preamble signal sequence. The second preamble signal sequence can be phase-compensated through the following formula (3):

[0051]

[0052] where the phase compensation information includes: Δf, f0, N, and j. In the above formula (3), represents the second preamble signal sequence, Δf represents the offset frequency of the signals in the first preamble signal sequence, f0 represents the signal sampling rate of the signals in the first preamble signal sequence, N represents the length of the first preamble signal sequence, and j represents the phase compensation coefficient.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, when updating the first coefficient in the first manner, since the second preamble signal sequence is introduced during the training process, it is necessary to perform phase correction on the first coefficient of the equalizer to obtain a second coefficient. The second coefficient can be calculated through the following formula (4):

[0054]

[0055] The second pilot signal sequence is obtained according to the above formula (3), and after obtaining the second coefficient according to the above formula (4), the first coefficient is updated according to the second coefficient, the first error signal, the second pilot signal sequence, and the third coefficient. For the convenience of description, the updated first coefficient is denoted as the target coefficient. Specifically, the target coefficient can be calculated by the following formula (5):

[0056]

[0057] where μ is the above-mentioned third coefficient, representing the second coefficient the update step size, e(n) represents the first error signal, represents the second pilot signal sequence, represents the second coefficient.

[0058] After updating the first coefficient according to the execution process of the above first method, the updated first coefficient (i.e., the target coefficient obtained in formula (5)) is used to replace the first coefficient, and the updated first pilot signal sequence (i.e., the second pilot signal sequence) is used to replace the first pilot signal sequence. Then, the above formulas (1) and (2) are executed again to calculate the new y(n) and the new e(n). According to the relationship between the absolute value of the new e(n) and the first preset threshold, it is determined whether to continue to update the first coefficient. When the value of abs(e(n)) is between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, for example, in the case of A < abs(e(n)) < 2A, the first coefficient is updated by the first method. When the value of abs(e(n)) is greater than the second preset threshold, for example, in the case of abs(e(n)) > 2A, the first coefficient is updated by the second method. When abs(e(n)) < A, the equalizer converges, and at this time, the first coefficient is no longer updated.

[0059] In the equalization method of the above equalizer, updating the first coefficient according to the second method specifically includes the following steps: determining a fourth coefficient, where the fourth coefficient is the acceleration coefficient of the third coefficient; updating the first coefficient according to the second coefficient, the first error signal, the second pilot signal sequence, the third coefficient, and the fourth coefficient.

[0060] In the equalization method of the above equalizer, determining the fourth coefficient specifically includes the following steps: determining the ratio of the absolute value of the first error signal to the first preset threshold as the first ratio; in the case where the first ratio is less than the target value, determining the fourth coefficient at least based on the first ratio; in the case where the first ratio is greater than the target value, determining the fourth coefficient as a fixed value.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the condition for updating the first coefficient in the second manner may be, for example, abs(e(n))>2A. In this case, the equalizer has not yet reached the optimal state. Equalizing the user data in this state may lead to problems such as poor error vector amplitude (EVM) or even bit errors. Therefore, it is also necessary to send the received first preamble signal sequence to the training module again for training, and perform phase compensation on the signal in the first preamble signal sequence that is sent to the training module again for training using the above formula (3), thereby obtaining a second preamble signal sequence. At the same time, since the second preamble signal sequence is introduced during the training process, it is necessary to perform phase correction on the first coefficient of the equalizer to obtain a second coefficient, which can be calculated using the above formula (4). It should be noted that formulas (3) and (4) have been introduced in detail above, so they will not be repeated here.

[0062] The difference between the second method of updating the first coefficient and the first method is that the second method can use variable step size equalization to accelerate the convergence of the equalizer, that is, the first coefficient is updated according to the second coefficient, the first error signal, the second pilot signal sequence, the third coefficient and the fourth coefficient. Specifically, the target coefficient can be calculated by the following formula (6):

[0063]

[0064] Wherein, k represents the acceleration coefficient of the third coefficient μ, and k is obtained as shown in the following formula (7):

[0065]

[0066] In the above formula (7), 10 is the above target value, and 8 is the above fixed value. It should be noted that both the target value and the fixed value are configurable. The target value 10 and the fixed value 8 in the above formula (7) are only optional values ​​and do not represent limitations. In the embodiment of the present application, the step size of equalization is not the larger the better. Too large a step size will lead to unstable equalization convergence.

[0067] After updating the first coefficient according to the second method described above, replace the first coefficient with the updated first coefficient (i.e., the target coefficient obtained in formula (6)), and replace the first preamble signal sequence with the updated first preamble signal sequence (i.e., the second preamble signal sequence), and then execute the above formula (1) and formula (2) again, so as to calculate the new y(n) and the new e(n). Determine whether to continue updating the first coefficient according to the relationship between the absolute value of the new e(n) and the first preset threshold. When the value of abs(e(n)) is between the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold, for example, in the case of A < abs(e(n)) < 2A, update the first coefficient using the first method. When the value of abs(e(n)) is greater than the second preset threshold, for example, in the case of abs(e(n)) > 2A, update the first coefficient using the second method. When abs(e(n)) < A, the equalizer converges, and at this time, the first coefficient is no longer updated.

[0068] The equalization method of the equalizer provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to the equalization of a time division multiple access (TDMA) receiver, or to the time division multiple access receiver equalization in a point-to-multipoint microwave and millimeter wave communication system, and can achieve a better equalization convergence speed. Under the same equalization performance, using the equalization method in the embodiments of the present application can reduce the overhead of the preamble, so as to transmit more useful data and improve the performance of the system. This is illustrated by the following examples: Example 1, in a 10G 1-to-8 microwave system, with a crystal oscillator performance of 1 ppm, a signal sampling rate of 245.76Mhz, and a chip clock frequency of 491.52Mhz, in the equalization environment or equalization performance, the equalization algorithm in the related art requires a preamble sequence with a length of about 256 points, while using the equalization method in the present application only requires a preamble sequence with a length of 32 points, and when the preamble is repeatedly sent into the equalizer 10 times, the equalizer can converge. Although repeatedly processing the preamble sequence increases the system delay by about 0.7 microseconds, it can increase the useful data transmitted by the system, thereby improving the performance of the system. Example 2, in the same equalization environment as Example 1, the equalization algorithm in the related art requires a preamble sequence with a length of about 256 points, while using the equalization method in the present application only requires a preamble sequence with a length of 32 points, and the preamble is repeatedly sent into the equalizer 5 times, where the first two pilots are equalized with a 5-fold step size, the third is equalized with a 3-fold step size, and the last two are equalized with a 1-fold step size, and the equalizer can also converge. At this time, the system delay increase caused by repeatedly processing the preamble sequence is about 0.35 microseconds, but it can also increase the useful data transmitted by the system, thereby improving the performance of the system.

[0070] The first execution module 302 is used to execute step 1: obtain a received first preamble signal sequence and a preset preamble signal sequence;
