Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of wireless communication technology, and more specifically to a channel selection communication method, apparatus, and system for a crystal oscillator-free Bluetooth chip. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wireless communication, oscillator performance is crucial for communication systems. First, the oscillator needs to provide a stable and accurate clock signal to ensure precise synchronization of all modules within the wireless communication chip, thereby maintaining the stability and reliability of wireless communication. Second, the phase noise performance of the oscillator has a significant impact on the performance of the wireless communication system; therefore, low phase noise is necessary to ensure signal transmission quality. Thus, wireless communication SoC chips require oscillators that are stable, accurate, and possess good phase noise performance.

[0003] In order to provide an accurate reference frequency, the traditional solution uses an external quartz crystal oscillator (crystal oscillator) to generate the clock. Since the quartz crystal itself has a stable oscillation period, it can ensure the normal operation of the communication system.

[0004] However, crystal oscillators are one of the most common pain points in radio frequency (RF) layouts, often being the root cause of problems such as noise, crosstalk, or crystal frequency tuning issues. During product development, multiple PCB iterations and redesigns are frequently required to address these problems, increasing development costs and timelines. In practical applications, crystal oscillators often suffer from the following drawbacks: they are prone to noise, crosstalk, or insufficient crystal frequency tuning; they lead to an increase in the number of components and higher costs; quartz crystals increase PCB area, making them unsuitable for miniaturized devices (such as wearable devices and TWS earphones); and crystal oscillators consume power during operation, making them unsuitable for low-power devices.

[0005] Therefore, an internal oscillator can be used instead of a crystal oscillator to generate the clock. Specifically, wireless communication chips use an internal oscillator instead of a crystal oscillator to generate the clock. However, when using an internal oscillator, the frequency of the internal oscillator differs significantly from the standard frequency, i.e., frequency deviation, which causes the system to malfunction. Furthermore, for communication schemes with channel selection circuitry, the target signal is often filtered out, resulting in data loss and making it impossible to estimate the oscillator's frequency deviation.

[0006] Therefore, for communications with channel selection circuits, how to reduce the probability of data loss caused by the filtering out of target signals has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Based on the above situation, the main objective of this invention is to provide a channel selection communication method, apparatus and system without a crystal oscillator Bluetooth chip, so as to reduce the probability of data loss caused by the filtering of target signals in communication with channel selection circuits.

[0061] Host equipment;

[0062] The crystal-free Bluetooth chip described in the fifth aspect above interacts with the host device for data exchange.

[0063] Beneficial effects:

[0064] According to embodiments of the present invention, a channel selection communication method, apparatus, and system for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip are disclosed. The crystal-free Bluetooth chip, which includes a channel selection circuit, integrates a data path without a channel selection circuit. When the crystal-free Bluetooth chip is powered on, the data path of the channel selection circuit is connected, and the channel selection circuit is disconnected. The host data packet received by the radio frequency unit is transmitted to the channel selection circuit. The channel selection circuit generates a local first synchronization sequence based on the data frame synchronization header in the host data packet. A second synchronization sequence representing the host data packet sent by the host device is received; the second synchronization sequence is the synchronization sequence of the host device at a standard frequency. Based on this, the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device is determined according to the first and second synchronization sequences, and frequency offset compensation is performed on the oscillator in the crystal-free Bluetooth chip to align the frequency of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip with the frequency of the host device. Finally, the data path connected to the channel selection circuit is switched to enable data interaction with the host device using the channel selection circuit. Because host data packets are received via a data path without a channel selection circuit before establishing a communication connection, the information in these packets is not filtered out by the channel selection circuit. This means the entire content of the data packet is covered, enabling frequency offset estimation of the local oscillator and frequency offset compensation for the oscillator in the crystalless Bluetooth chip. This ensures the frequency of the crystalless Bluetooth chip is aligned with the host device's frequency. Then, the data path connected to the channel selection circuit is switched. This ensures frequency alignment with the host device, guaranteeing normal data transmission and reception. Furthermore, because of the frequency alignment, data packets (target signals) sent by the host device will not be mistakenly filtered out due to frequency offset falling outside the target channel. Additionally, since data interaction with the host device utilizes the channel selection circuit, the effect of filtering out information outside the target channel is preserved, thus improving the quality of the received signal. In summary, for communication using a channel selection circuit, the probability of data loss due to target signal filtering is reduced.

[0065] Other beneficial effects of the present invention will be explained in detail through the introduction of specific technical features and technical solutions in specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand the beneficial technical effects brought about by these technical features and technical solutions through the introduction of these technical features and technical solutions.

Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0076] To reduce the probability of data loss due to target signal filtering in communication systems with channel selection circuits, this embodiment discloses a channel selection communication method for crystal-free Bluetooth chips. This method is used with crystal-free Bluetooth chips that have channel selection circuits. In this embodiment, the crystal-free Bluetooth chip integrates a data path without channel selection circuits. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a crystal-free Bluetooth chip with a channel selection circuit disclosed in this embodiment. The crystal-free Bluetooth chip includes a radio frequency (RF) unit 1, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) unit 2, a channel selection circuit 3, and a channel selection circuit 4. The RF unit 1 is used for wireless signal transmission and reception with external devices via an RF antenna. The ADC unit 2 performs analog-to-digital conversion on the analog signal output by the RF unit 1. The channel selection circuit 3 filters out information outside the target channel from the signal received by the RF unit 1, retaining only the target signal, thereby improving the quality of the received signal. In this embodiment, frequency offset estimation and correction are performed by adding the channel selection circuit 4, as described below.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a channel selection communication method for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip disclosed in this embodiment. The channel selection communication method for the crystal-free Bluetooth chip includes steps S100, S200, S300, S400, S500, S600, and S700.

[0078] Step S100: When the crystal-less Bluetooth chip is powered on, the data path of the channel selection circuit is connected, and the channel selection circuit is disconnected. Please refer to... Figure 1 When the crystal-free Bluetooth chip is powered on, the switching switch S connects the radio frequency unit 1 and the channel-free selection circuit 4, so that the data / signals received by the radio frequency unit 1 are transmitted to the channel-free selection circuit 4 instead of the channel selection circuit 3.

[0079] Step S200: The host data packet received by the radio frequency unit is transmitted to the channelless selection circuit. In this embodiment, the host data packet is a data packet wirelessly transmitted by an external host device. In a specific embodiment, the host device transmits data packets at several preset frequency points. Specifically, the host device transmits data packets according to the standard Bluetooth protocol, typically using 32 frequency points: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71, 73, 75, 77. During this period, when the frequency point of the radio frequency unit corresponds to the frequency point of the host device, data packets transmitted by the over-the-air host device can be received. In specific implementation, when there is a deviation between the high-speed oscillation frequency of the crystalless Bluetooth chip and the standard frequency of the host device, the ID packet (a type of data packet) transmitted by the host device in the query scan state can also be searched. Specifically, in the inquiry state, the host device sends ID packets on the aforementioned frequency points according to the standard Bluetooth protocol. During this period, the crystal-less Bluetooth chip, in the inquiry scan state, can search for the ID packets sent by the over-the-air host device in the inquiry state. The ID packets are then used to correct the oscillation frequency of the crystal-less SoC chip. After correcting the oscillation frequency of the crystal-less Bluetooth chip, it switches to the page state to establish a Bluetooth connection with the external host device and exchange data.

[0080] In this embodiment, since the host data packet is transmitted to the channelless selection circuit, meaning the circuit does not filter the signal, complete data information can be preserved. Therefore, the host data packet can be used for frequency offset estimation and subsequent frequency offset correction.

[0081] Step S300: Using a channelless selection circuit, a first synchronization sequence s is generated based on the data frame synchronization header in the host data packet. l Please refer to this. Figure 1 After receiving the host data packet, the synchronization calculation unit in the channelless selection circuit 4 can be used to generate the first synchronization sequence s. l Specifically, according to the Bluetooth standard protocol, before establishing a connection, the two communicating parties attempt to connect using a predefined algorithm. Therefore, according to the Bluetooth standard protocol, a first synchronization sequence s can be generated. l In this embodiment, the first synchronization sequence s is referred to as... l For a crystal-free Bluetooth chip, the local sequence is used. In a specific embodiment, due to the first synchronization sequence s l It is a local sequence, therefore, this synchronization sequence is not affected by environmental interference and is an ideal sequence. However, due to the frequency offset of the local crystal oscillator relative to the host device, this first synchronization sequence s lFrequency offset exists.

[0082] Step S400: Receive the second synchronization sequence s representing the host data packet sent by the host device. r In this embodiment, the so-called second synchronization sequence s r The second synchronization sequence s is the synchronization sequence of the host device at a standard frequency. Since it is assumed that the clock frequency of the host device is provided by a standard crystal oscillator, the second synchronization sequence s... r No frequency offset occurred. Please refer to this. Figure 1 After receiving the host data packet, the synchronization calculation unit in the channelless selection circuit 4 can obtain the second synchronization sequence s by parsing the host data packet. Specifically, according to the Bluetooth standard protocol, the synchronization header (SHR) loads the host device's clock frequency information. Therefore, after receiving data sent by an external host device (such as a mobile phone), the second synchronization sequence s can be obtained through the synchronization header (SHR) in the data packet. r .

[0083] In the specific implementation process, after obtaining the first synchronization sequence s l Second synchronization sequence s r Then, the frequency offset between the high-speed oscillation frequency of the crystalless Bluetooth chip and the clock frequency of the host device can be estimated.

[0084] Step S500, based on the first synchronization sequence s l Second synchronization sequence s r Determine the frequency offset of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device. In the specific implementation process, the first synchronization sequence s... l Second synchronization sequence s r Each has its own frequency information loaded; therefore, by analyzing the first synchronization sequence s... l Second synchronization sequence s r By conducting comparative analysis, the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device can be obtained.

[0085] Step S600: Frequency offset compensation is performed on the oscillator in the crystal-less Bluetooth chip according to the frequency offset value, so that the frequency of the crystal-less Bluetooth chip is aligned with the frequency of the host device. Please refer to... Figure 1After obtaining the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device, the frequency offset compensation unit in the channelless selection circuit 4 can be used to compensate for the frequency offset of the oscillator in the crystal-free Bluetooth chip. Specifically, the frequency offset compensation unit can adjust the division value of the frequency divider in the phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip based on the frequency offset value to compensate for the output frequency offset of the oscillator, so that the high-speed oscillation frequency output by the PLL is close to the clock frequency of the host device. The PLL circuit is the phase-locked loop in the oscillator loop of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip. Generally, a phase-locked loop (PLL) consists of a phase detector, a loop filter, a VCO, and a frequency divider. The frequency output by the VCO is the high-speed oscillation frequency of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip, which is also the RF clock frequency of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip. In specific implementation, when the high-speed oscillation frequency is high, the division value of the frequency divider in the PLL is increased to reduce the high-speed oscillation frequency output by the VCO; when the high-speed oscillation frequency is low, the division value of the frequency divider in the PLL is decreased to increase the high-speed oscillation frequency output by the VCO.

[0086] Step S700: Switch the data path connected to the channel selection circuit to enable data interaction with the host device using the channel selection circuit. Please refer to... Figure 1 After frequency offset compensation is performed on the oscillator in the crystal-less Bluetooth chip to align its frequency with that of the host device, a connection can be established. At this point, the channel selection circuit 3 can be switched on using switch S, and the channel selection circuit 4 can be disconnected. Data transmission and reception are then performed using channel selection circuit 3. In this embodiment, using the data path of the channel selection circuit for data transmission and reception filters out information outside the target channel, retaining only the target signal, thereby improving the quality of the received signal. For details, please refer to... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a data transmission and reception example of a channel selection circuit disclosed in this embodiment. The dashed box represents the channel of the channel selection circuit. Data falling within the channel indicated by the dashed box can be received, while data falling outside the channel indicated by the dashed box will be directly filtered out. Figure 3 As shown, channel selection circuit 3 only retains the target signal ( Figure 3 (As shown in the solid-line ellipse), this improves the quality of the received signal.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, step S500 includes: step S510, processing the first synchronization sequence s l With the second synchronization sequence s r Conjugate multiplication yields the first synchronization sequence s. l Second synchronization sequence s rThe phase difference set of each sampling point; Step S520, calculate the frequency offset value of the crystalless Bluetooth chip relative to the host device based on the phase difference set.

[0088] Specifically, Formula 1 can be used for conjugate multiplication:

[0089]

[0090] In the formula, s l This is the first synchronization sequence; s r This is the second synchronization sequence. It is s r The conjugate complex number; s d The result of the conjugate multiplication of the first and second synchronization sequences is specifically a complex number. The set that constitutes the collection, and the individual elements in the set. The conjugate product of each sampling point has an imaginary part that carries the phase difference information of each sampling point, for example... In this context, Δθi represents the phase difference at the i-th sampling point. In practical implementation, since phase is related to frequency, the frequency difference, or frequency offset, can be estimated from the phase difference value. From this, the frequency offset of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device can be calculated.

[0091] To reduce data computation and improve communication efficiency, in an optional embodiment, step S520 includes: step S521, selecting the phase difference of a target element from the phase difference set as the target phase difference; step S522, calculating the frequency offset value of the corresponding frequency point based on the target phase difference; and step S523, using the frequency offset value corresponding to the target phase difference as the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device. Specifically, since each sampling point uses the same oscillator or crystal, the frequency offset of each sampling point is consistent, that is, the frequency offset of the synchronization sequence is consistent. Therefore, only one element can be selected from the phase difference set of each sampling point, and the frequency offset of this element can represent the frequency offset of the entire sequence, thereby reducing data computation and improving communication efficiency. In a specific implementation, an element can be randomly selected from the phase difference set of each sampling point as the target element. After selecting the target element, the phase difference of the target element is used as the target phase difference, and the frequency offset value is calculated accordingly. This frequency offset value represents the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device.

[0092] To avoid the influence of the initial phase, in an optional embodiment, in step S521, the target element is not the first sampling point; between steps S521 and S522, the method further includes: step S511, subtracting the target phase difference from the phase difference of the first sampling point to obtain the target phase difference after removing the initial phase; in step S522, calculating the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device based on the target phase difference after removing the initial phase. Specifically, the frequency offset value can be calculated using the following formula 2:

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, f offset Let Δθ be the frequency offset value at the i-th sampling point, which represents the frequency offset of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device; i Let Δθ be the phase difference of the i-th sampling point, which is also the phase difference of the target element. i The magnitude can be obtained through the imaginary part of the i-th element in Formula 1; Δθ1 is the phase difference of the first sampling point, which is the initial phase, and this phase is a random phase; T s The sampling period of the signal is specifically the duration between two adjacent sampling points in the synchronization sequence. In this embodiment, by calculating the frequency offset of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device after removing the target phase difference from the initial phase, the impact of the initial phase randomness can be reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of the frequency offset calculation.

[0095] To verify whether the frequency offset compensation was successful, in an optional embodiment, step S500 further includes: step S530, summing the elements in the phase difference set to obtain the total phase difference s. sum Step S540: Determine the total phase difference s sum If the magnitude of the sum of phase differences is greater than a preset threshold, then the frequency offset value calculated in step S520 is determined as the final frequency offset value; if the magnitude of the sum of phase differences is less than a preset threshold, then steps S300, S400, and S500 are re-executed. Specifically, Formula 3 can be used to calculate the sum of phase differences s. sum The calculation is as follows:

[0096]

[0097] In the formula, s sum It is the sum of the phase differences of all elements in the phase difference set.

[0098] In practical implementation, the magnitudes of the elements in Formula 1 are not identical, and the direction formed by the real and imaginary parts of the complex number e can be any direction within a 360° range. In this embodiment, by summing the phase differences of each element in the phase difference set, it is equivalent to accumulating the frequency offset of each individual element. If the frequency offset value is correct, the sum will become a large value; conversely, if the frequency offset value is incorrect, the elements in Formula 1 will have irregular frequency offsets, resulting in a smaller sum. Based on this understanding, if the total phase difference s sum If the magnitude is greater than a preset threshold, the frequency offset value calculated in step S520 is determined as the final frequency offset value; otherwise, if the total phase difference s sum If the modulus is less than the preset threshold, then return to re-execute steps S300, S400 and S500 to redetermine the frequency offset value.

[0099] In this embodiment, the execution order between steps S520 and S530 is not restricted.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, between steps S600 and S700, the method further includes: establishing a wireless connection between the crystal-free Bluetooth chip and the host device in a state without a channel selection circuit. Please refer to... Figure 1 After the frequency offset compensation unit of the channel selection circuit 4 compensates for the frequency offset of the oscillator, a connection can be established with the host device. Then, the channel selection circuit 3 is connected by using the switching switch S to disconnect the channel selection circuit 4 and use the channel selection circuit 3 to transmit and receive data.

[0101] This embodiment also discloses a channel selection communication device for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip, used in a crystal-free Bluetooth chip with a channel selection circuit. The crystal-free Bluetooth chip integrates a data path without a channel selection circuit. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a channel selection communication device for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip disclosed in this embodiment. The channel selection communication device for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip includes: a channelless connection module 100, a host data packet transmission module 200, a first synchronization sequence module 300, a second synchronization sequence module 400, a frequency offset value determination module 500, a frequency offset compensation module 600, and a path switching module 700, wherein:

[0102] The channelless connection module 100 is used to connect the data path of the channelless selection circuit and disconnect the channel selection circuit when the crystal-free Bluetooth chip is powered on.

[0123] The connection establishment module is used to establish a wireless connection between the crystal-free Bluetooth chip and the host device in the absence of a channel selection circuit.

[0124] This embodiment also discloses a computer device, including: performing channel selection communication based on a crystal-free Bluetooth chip using the method disclosed in the above embodiments, or including the apparatus disclosed in the above embodiments.

[0125] This embodiment also discloses a crystal-free Bluetooth chip having an integrated circuit, which is designed to implement the methods disclosed in the above embodiments.

[0126] This embodiment also discloses a channel selection communication system without a crystal oscillator Bluetooth chip, which has an integrated circuit and includes: a host device and the crystal oscillator-free Bluetooth chip disclosed in the above embodiment, wherein the crystal oscillator-free Bluetooth chip interacts with the host device.

[0127] According to embodiments of the present invention, a channel selection communication method, apparatus, and system for a crystal-free Bluetooth chip are disclosed. The crystal-free Bluetooth chip, which includes a channel selection circuit, integrates a data path without a channel selection circuit. When the crystal-free Bluetooth chip is powered on, the data path of the channel selection circuit is connected, and the channel selection circuit is disconnected. The host data packet received by the radio frequency unit is transmitted to the channel selection circuit. The channel selection circuit generates a local first synchronization sequence based on the data frame synchronization header in the host data packet. A second synchronization sequence representing the host data packet sent by the host device is received; the second synchronization sequence is the synchronization sequence of the host device at a standard frequency. Based on this, the frequency offset value of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip relative to the host device is determined according to the first and second synchronization sequences, and frequency offset compensation is performed on the oscillator in the crystal-free Bluetooth chip to align the frequency of the crystal-free Bluetooth chip with the frequency of the host device. Finally, the data path connected to the channel selection circuit is switched to enable data interaction with the host device using the channel selection circuit. Because host data packets are received via a data path without a channel selection circuit before establishing a communication connection, the information in these packets is not filtered out by the channel selection circuit. This means the entire content of the data packet is covered, enabling frequency offset estimation of the local oscillator and frequency offset compensation for the oscillator in the crystalless Bluetooth chip. This ensures the frequency of the crystalless Bluetooth chip is aligned with the host device's frequency. Then, the data path connected to the channel selection circuit is switched. This ensures frequency alignment with the host device, guaranteeing normal data transmission and reception. Furthermore, because of the frequency alignment, data packets (target signals) sent by the host device will not be mistakenly filtered out due to frequency offset falling outside the target channel. Additionally, since data interaction with the host device utilizes the channel selection circuit, the effect of filtering out information outside the target channel is preserved, thus improving the quality of the received signal. In summary, for communication using a channel selection circuit, the probability of data loss due to target signal filtering is reduced.

[0128] In practical applications, a channel-selection-free path is added to the existing channel selection circuit to calculate and compensate for frequency offset, enabling the system to handle large frequency deviations. Furthermore, by setting thresholds to determine whether synchronization is successful and whether frequency offset compensation is accurate, the effectiveness of frequency offset compensation can be improved. For ease of understanding by those skilled in the art, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a schematic diagram illustrating a data transmission and reception example without adding a channel selection path as disclosed in this embodiment. As described above, when transmitting and receiving data using a channel selection circuit, information outside the target channel can be filtered out, retaining only the target signal, thereby improving the quality of the received signal. However, its problem is that, for example... Figure 5 As shown, due to the frequency offset of the crystalless Bluetooth chip relative to the host device, if the frequency offset value f of the local oscillator... offset If the frequency offset is too large, the signal frequency will fall outside the target channel. That is, the target signal that should be in the channel (shown by the dashed ellipse) will fall outside the target channel (shown by the solid ellipse). In this case, the target signal outside the target channel (shown by the solid ellipse) will be incorrectly filtered out by the channel selection circuit, resulting in data loss and making it impossible to estimate the frequency offset of the oscillator.

[0129] In this embodiment, a channel-free path is added to the existing channel selection circuit. Since the channel-free path does not perform filtering operations, it can retain complete information, thus enabling the reception of data packets from the host device. Based on this, data synchronization, frequency offset calculation, and compensation are performed using the synchronization header in the data frame. After frequency offset compensation, a communication connection is established, and the system switches to the path with the channel selection circuit. This not only achieves frequency offset compensation but also leverages the advantages of the channel selection circuit to improve the quality of signal reception.
