Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shortwave communication technology, and more specifically, to a shortwave DRM reliable reception method, system, computer-readable storage medium, and electronic device based on time-frequency retransmission. Background Art

[0002] Traditional analog AM broadcasting uses transmission frequencies below 30 MHz, encompassing three bands: long, medium, and short. However, due to its limited program coverage and poor sound quality, it faces significant challenges compared to other digital media. Therefore, the full digitization of AM broadcasting is urgent. For this reason, the worldwide digital radio community has developed the Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) standard. This standard not only retains the advantages of analog AM broadcasting, including its wide coverage and suitability for mobile reception, but also overcomes its shortcomings, including poor transmission quality, limited services, and high transmission power. It also offers additional data services, demonstrating its enormous potential for development. A co-frequency network established using multiple transmitters not only expands coverage but also leverages the inherent multipath mitigation of OFDM systems to achieve multipath gain and increase channel capacity.

[0003] DRM uses shortwave communication. Compared to other communication methods, shortwave communication boasts a longer range, is compact, flexible, and easy to use, and can maintain effective communication even under extremely harsh conditions. Its unique advantages make it irreplaceable by other communication methods, and its importance in long-distance communication is undeniable. However, due to the harsh shortwave channel environment and the severe time- and frequency-selective fading of the signal, DRM signal detection presents significant challenges. Because the received signal structure is fixed, communication quality cannot be improved by adjusting the signal structure. Diversity reception combining is typically used to mitigate the effects of fading. The transmitter reduces the probability of simultaneous fading of signal components by sending two or more copies of a multi-tone modulated signal containing the same information. Diversity combining at the receiver effectively compensates for channel fading, significantly reducing the impact of fading channels and improving the capacity and reliability of shortwave communication. Therefore, research on shortwave multi-carrier modulation diversity reception technology is of vital importance for high-quality and reliable communication in shortwave fading channels. Current diversity reception combining of DRM signals suffers from the following main shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Merging fails to consider the impact of channel quality and signal-to-noise ratio: Currently, multiple signal replicas are combined using only maximum ratio combining. This also includes some signal replicas with poor channel quality or low signal-to-noise ratio, increasing the combining complexity without improving performance.

[0005] 2. The combining method is relatively simple: The current combining method uses hard combining, that is, combining directly on the demodulated bit stream, and does not use soft combining on the QAM constellation diagram. The combining gain is low and the anti-fading performance is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problems that traditional DRM reception combining methods do not consider the influence of channel quality and signal-to-noise ratio, and the combining method is relatively single, resulting in low combining gain and poor anti-fading performance, the present invention provides a shortwave DRM reliable reception method, system, computer-readable storage medium and electronic device based on time-frequency retransmission. By selecting the combining method according to whether the modulation method is consistent and performing weighted processing according to the signal-to-noise ratio, the combining gain can be increased and the anti-fading performance of the receiving end can be improved, providing strong support for the time-frequency retransmission combining method of shortwave communication.

[0032] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] The terms "first," "second," "third," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish between different objects, not to describe a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "including," "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements, but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a shortwave DRM reliable reception method based on time-frequency retransmission provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method is based on time-frequency diversity (also called time-frequency retransmission) technology and is executed by the receiving end. In view of the serious fading problem of the shortwave channel during the detection and reception process, among the various methods for improving the detection and reception quality, the diversity reception technology has the most significant effect and is the most widely used. The diversity reception technology is that the receiving end receives multiple statistically independent fading signals carrying the same information, and merges the multiple fading signals to reduce the impact of fading. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 101: Obtain the QAM modulation order of each signal copy according to the quick access channel information.

[0036] The signal replica is a statistically independent signal component carrying the same information obtained by applying time diversity or frequency diversity to the original DRM signal.

[0037] Take the two signal copies obtained by frequency diversity transmission as an example, Figure 2 As shown in the figure, x(t) is the OFDM signal, c(t) is the carrier signal of different frequencies, h(t) is the response of the channel model, which reflects complex channel fading such as multipath and Doppler spread and can be regarded as multiplicative noise, n(t) is the additive noise, and s(t) is the receiving channel. The transmission model of any channel can be expressed as:

[0038]

[0039] In the above formula, c(t) is the carrier signal, which can be expressed as Then an OFDM signal x(t) after up-conversion modulation through the carrier can be expressed as e(t):

[0040]

[0041] The modulation process using formula (2) is to shift the spectrum, and the lowest subcarrier position is f c +f kmin .

[0042] Step 102: Obtain the signal-to-noise ratio of each signal replica using a channel estimation algorithm.

[0043] Step 103: If the QAM modulation order of each signal copy is the same, weighted combination of each signal copy is performed on the QAM constellation diagram according to the signal-to-noise ratio to obtain an enhanced QAM symbol.

[0044] Step 104: If the QAM modulation order of each signal copy is different, weighted combination of each signal copy is performed on the bit stream according to the signal-to-noise ratio to obtain an enhanced DRM information bit stream.

[0045] In this embodiment, a receiving end receives multiple signal copies obtained by time and frequency diversity methods, and selects a combining method based on whether the QAM modulation order of each signal copy is consistent. That is, when the modulation orders are the same, a soft combining method is selected, that is, weighted combining of each signal copy is performed on the QAM constellation diagram according to the signal-to-noise ratio to obtain an enhanced QAM symbol; when the modulation orders are different, a hard combining method is selected, that is, weighted combining of each signal copy is performed on the bit stream according to the signal-to-noise ratio to obtain an enhanced DRM information bit stream. Compared with the traditional single diversity combining method, this method can increase the combining gain, improve the anti-fading performance of the receiving end, and provide a guarantee for the reliable reception of DRM signals.

[0046] In one embodiment, the above step 101 includes obtaining quick access channel information based on low-order modulation in each signal copy; and obtaining the QAM modulation order of each signal copy according to the quick access channel information.

[0047] Among them, low-order modulation refers to a modulation method in which each symbol has only two states of "0" or "1", such as binary amplitude shift keying 2ASK, binary frequency shift keying 2PSK, etc.

[0050] S304, channel estimation to obtain the signal-to-noise ratio of each signal replica;

[0051] S306, determining whether the QAM modulation order of each channel is consistent, and selecting a combining method based on whether the modulation order is consistent;

[0052] S308, when the QAM modulation order of each channel is consistent, setting a signal-to-noise ratio threshold (i.e., a first signal-to-noise ratio threshold) and directly discarding signal copies below the signal-to-noise ratio threshold;

[0053] S310, the remaining signal copies are weighted according to the signal-to-noise ratio and combined on the QAM constellation diagram;

[0054] S312, obtaining enhanced QAM symbols;

[0055] S314, performing QAM demapping and decoding on the enhanced QAM symbols to obtain an enhanced DRM information bit stream (also referred to as an enhanced DRM signal);

[0056] S316, when the QAM modulation order of each channel is inconsistent, a signal-to-noise ratio threshold (i.e., a second signal-to-noise ratio threshold) is set, and signal copies with a signal-to-noise ratio lower than the threshold are directly discarded;

[0057] S318, performing QAM demapping and decoding on the remaining signal copies;

[0058] S320: weightedly combine each channel of demapped and decoded data on the bit stream according to the signal-to-noise ratio to obtain an enhanced DRM information bit stream.

The receiving end generates and superimposes independent white noise sequences (n1(t), n2(t), n3(t)) on the input carrier signal x(t), and obtains multiple independent signal replicas s k (t), and perform independent time-frequency synchronization, channel estimation and equalization. According to the signal-to-noise ratio results after channel estimation, the QAM data sequence C of each branch is k Perform weighted merging.

[0061] For each branch (a total of L branches), the noise (fading and noise) signal (one OFDM symbol) s k (t) After independent signal estimation and equalization, a sequence C containing N QAM signals is generated. k (i), and the corresponding average signal-to-noise ratio SNR k , after weighted combination of the QAM signals of each branch according to the average signal-to-noise ratio, the combined signal C′(i) can be expressed as:
