Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and particularly to a method, model, and communication system for compensating for non-linear distortion of signals.
Background Art
[0002] Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology is a multi-carrier modulation technology that divides a carrier into a plurality of mutually orthogonal sub-carriers to solve frequency-selective fading and narrow-band interference.
[0003] Therefore, a signal modulated using OFDM technology, that is, an OFDM signal, usually has characteristics such as non-constant envelope, wide (frequency) band, and Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR, abbreviated as peak-to-average ratio). However, when an OFDM signal passes through a Power Amplifier (PA, abbreviated as power amplifier), it is inevitable that non-linear distortion will occur.
[0004] First, in order to make the signal output from the power amplifier have good linearity, usually, a simple power back-off method is used, but this method reduces the efficiency of the power amplifier and wastes resources. And in order to improve the efficiency of the power amplifier, usually, the power amplifier is operated near the saturation point, but this causes serious in-band distortion, increases the bit error rate of the communication system, and also causes out-of-band spectrum spreading and interference with adjacent channels.
[0005] In light of this, conventionally, to improve the effects of nonlinear distortion in power amplifiers, crest factor reduction (CFR) and digital pre-distortion (DPD) techniques are typically used. Here, CFR technique reduces the PAPR of the signal by lowering the signal peak. As the PAPR of the signal is reduced in this way, the backoff value of the power amplifier relative to the output peak power at the average power operating point can be reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the power amplifier. DPD technique is an effective method for compensating for the nonlinear and memory effects of power amplifiers in the high-efficiency range. As described above, by combining CFR and DPD techniques, the application needs of improving power amplifier efficiency and improving the linearity index can be simultaneously satisfied.
[0006] Therefore, in related technologies, CFR modules and DPD modules can usually be cascaded to improve power amplifier efficiency and linearity. Furthermore, in technical means that combine conventional CFR and DPD technologies, the DPD module is usually applied after the CFR module.
[0007] However, by cascading the CFR module and the DPD module, the DPD module is applied after the CFR module. As a result, the PARA of the signal, which has been peak-clipped and its PAPR reduced via the CFR module, increases again after passing through the DPD module. Furthermore, due to the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, spectral spread occurs in the output signal. This increases the requirements for the sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) / digital-to-analog converter (DAC) in the OFDM system, as well as the hardware and algorithm convergence speed, thereby increasing the difficulty and cost of realizing the system.
[0008] Therefore, reducing the sampling rate requirements of ADCs / DACs while simultaneously improving the DPD's ability to compensate for nonlinearities in power amplifiers are currently technical challenges that need to be addressed. [Overview of the project]

[0044] To further clarify the purpose, technical means, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure, the technical means of this disclosure will be described clearly and in detail below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of this disclosure. It will be clear that the embodiments described are merely some, and not all, embodiments of the technical means of this disclosure. All other embodiments that a person skilled in the art could obtain without creative effort based on the embodiments described in this disclosure are all covered by the technical means of this disclosure.
[0045] In this disclosure, “multiple” is understood to mean “at least two.” The term “and / or” is solely for the purpose of describing the relationship between the associated objects, indicating that three types of relationships exist. For example, A and / or B can represent three situations: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. A being connected to B can represent two situations: A being directly connected to B, and A being connected to B via C. In this disclosure, terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., are used to distinguish the purpose of the explanation and should be understood as not indicating or suggesting relative importance or order.
[0046] The design concept of the embodiments of this disclosure will be briefly explained below. OFDM technology is a multi-carrier modulation technique that divides a carrier into multiple mutually orthogonal subcarriers, resolving frequency selective fading and narrowband interference. Therefore, OFDM signals are the global 5G standard (5G NR, 5th Generation Mobile Networks New Radio) communication signals based on a new OFDM air interface design, offering more choices for time slots, subcarriers, etc., within each subframe. This allows for application not only in different communication scenarios but also in different sensing scenarios.
[0047] Therefore, signals modulated using OFDM technology, i.e., OFDM signals, typically have characteristics such as a non-stationary envelope, wide bandwidth, and high PAPR. However, when an OFDM signal passes through a PA, nonlinear distortion is unavoidable.
[0048] Initially, a simple power backoff method was typically used to ensure good linearity in the signal output from the power amplifier. However, this method reduces the efficiency of the power amplifier and wastes resources. To improve the efficiency of the power amplifier, it is usually operated near its saturation point. However, this causes serious in-band distortion, increasing the bit error rate of the communication system, as well as out-of-band spread spectrum and interference with adjacent channels.
[0049] Currently, to mitigate the effects of nonlinear distortion in PAs, the advantages of both CFR and DPD technologies can be utilized, and by combining CFR and DPD technologies, the application needs and objectives of improving power amplifier efficiency and linearity can be simultaneously satisfied.
[0050] Specifically, in technical means that combine conventional CFR technology and DPD technology, the DPD module is usually applied after the CFR module. However, by cascading the CFR module and the DPD module, the DPD module is applied after the CFR module. As a result, the PAPR of the signal, which has been peak-clipped and reduced via the CFR module, increases again after passing through the DPD module. Furthermore, due to the nonlinearity of the power amplifier, spread spectrum occurs in the output signal. When implementing DPD, the bandwidth of the feedback receiving channel is 3 to 5 times the bandwidth of the input signal, and if the bandwidth is 400 MHz or more, the sampling rate of the ADC in the feedback receiving channel must be at least 4 Gsps. Such high-speed sampling ADCs not only increase the demands on hardware and algorithm convergence speed, but also increase the difficulty and cost of system implementation.
[0051] In light of this, by effectively reducing the sampling rate of the ADC / DAC and minimizing the impact of peak clipping (CFR) on the DPD effect, 5G To improve the communication and sensing capabilities of an NR (e.g., an OFDM system), embodiments of the present disclosure provide a nonlinear distortion compensation method, which specifically involves inputting an OFDM signal into a preset nonlinear compensation fusion model, the nonlinear compensation fusion model comprising a BL-DPD module, a BL-CFR module, and an error compensation module, wherein the error compensation module is used to perform error compensation on the OFDM signals output from the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module, and further includes acquiring a first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, a second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and a third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module for an initial OFDM signal, and finally acquiring an initial OFDM signal after compensating for nonlinear distortion based on the first OFDM signal, the second OFDM signal, and the third OFDM signal.
[0052] In particular, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings of the specification. The preferred embodiments described herein are used solely to describe and interpret the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. It is understood that embodiments and features of the embodiments herein can be combined in any way that does not conflict with the present disclosure.
[0053] As shown in Figure 1, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the configuration of an OFDM communication system provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the OFDM communication system comprising a nonlinear compensation fusion model, a first branch, a second branch, a third branch, and a fourth branch.
[0054] The nonlinear compensation fusion model comprises a BL-DPD module, a BL-CFR module, and an error compensation module ECM. The BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module ECM are connected in parallel, and the error compensation module ECM is used to perform error compensation on the OFDM signals output from the BL-DPD module and BL-CFR module.
[0055] Preferably, the basis functions used by the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module are the same.
[0056] The first branch comprises, in order, a DAC, an up-converter, a PA, an attenuator 1 / G, a band-pass filter (BPF), a down-converter, an ADC, a POST-BL-DPD training network module, and a preset low-noise variable step size-least mean square (LNVSS-LMS) algorithm module.
[0057] The second branch comprises sequentially installed CFR modules, a training network POST-BL-DPD module, and a preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm module.
[0058] The third branch comprises sequentially placed low-pass filters (LPFs) and a preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm module.
[0059] The fourth branch comprises, in order, a DAC, an upconverter, a PA, a 1 / G attenuator, a BPF, a downconverter, an ADC, a POST-BL-DPD training network module, and a preset Sine and Error Variable Step Size-Least Mean Square (SEVSS-LMS) algorithm module.
[0060] As described above, the only difference between the first and fourth branches is that the first branch uses the LNVSS-LMS algorithm, while the fourth branch uses the SEVSS-LMS algorithm. The LNVSS-LMS algorithm effectively suppresses the susceptibility of the step size factor function to noise by adjusting the change in the step size factor function based on parameters such as the error energy at the current time, the absolute error energy of the error at the previous time, and the mean value. This not only improves the noise suppression capability of the LNVSS-LMS algorithm, but also allows the parameter values to be adjusted to be smaller than the error value at that time, thereby obtaining a smaller step size and a smaller steady-state error. The SEVSS-LMS algorithm controls the variable step size factor function by adjusting three parameters. As a result, the variable step size factor function automatically increases the step size in the initial stage when the error signal is large, resulting in a faster convergence speed. In the steady state, it can maintain a small step size, resulting in a slower convergence speed and a smaller error.
[0061] Furthermore, the above nonlinear compensation fusion model is also called the Compensation Band Limited-CFR-DPD (CBL-CFR-DPD) model.
[0062] Furthermore, the first, second, and third branches described above can share the same preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm module to reduce the overhead of the electrical circuit. The number of preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm modules is not limited in the embodiments of this disclosure.
[0063] In the embodiments of this disclosure, the nonlinear compensation fusion model is used to obtain an initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation by performing DPD processing, CFR processing, and error compensation processing on the initial OFDM signal, respectively, and acquiring a first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, a second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and a third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module, based on the first OFDM signal, the second OFDM signal, and the third OFDM signal.
[0064] In the nonlinear compensated fusion model, the BL-DPD module and the first branch are used in offline mode to iteratively modify the initial parameter set of the BL-DPD module and obtain the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module, that is, to extract the kernel parameters of the BL-DPD module in offline mode, where offline mode means that the initial OFDM signal is not received, i.e., the module / model (pre)training mode.
[0065] In the nonlinear compensated fusion model, the BL-CFR module and the second branch are used in offline mode to iteratively modify the initial parameter set of the BL-CFR module to obtain the model parameter set of the BL-CFR module, that is, to extract the kernel parameters of the BL-CFR module in offline mode.
[0066] The nonlinear compensation fusion model and the third bifurcation are used in offline mode to iteratively modify the initial parameter set of the error compensation module ECM to obtain the model parameter set of the error compensation module ECM, that is, to extract the kernel parameters of the error compensation module ECM in offline mode.
[0067] The nonlinear compensated fusion model and the fourth branch are used in online mode to iteratively modify the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module, that is, to effectively refresh the parameters of the nonlinear compensated fusion model (i.e., the CBL-CFR-DPD model) in online mode, thereby ultimately ensuring post-cascaded pre-distortion of the entire OFDM communication system, effectively improving the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier of the OFDM signal, and improving the overall efficiency of the OFDM communication system. Here, online mode represents the reception of the initial OFDM signal, i.e., real-time operation mode.
[0068] Preferably, the nonlinear compensated fusion model is further used to extract model parameter sets for the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module in offline mode based on a preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm, and / or to refresh the model parameter set for the nonlinear compensated fusion model in online mode based on a preset sine and error variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm and a set period time. Preferably, the nonlinear compensated fusion model is specifically used to refresh the model parameter set only for the BL-DPD module in the nonlinear compensated fusion model in online mode based on a preset sine and error variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm and a set period time.
[0069] In Figure 1, "Mode" is understood to be a state selection module, and therefore the corresponding state may be either offline mode or online mode.
[0070] Based on the OFDM communication system described above, a new type of nonlinear compensation fusion model (i.e., a CBL-CFR-DPD integrated model) is constructed. The BL-DPD module and BL-CFR module are integrated into a single model using the error compensation module ECM. By utilizing a mechanism to extract and refresh each module's parameters (i.e., the model parameter set) in an "offline + online" manner, the order of the band-limiting filter is effectively reduced, the overall complexity of the nonlinear compensation fusion model is reduced, and the overall accuracy of the nonlinear compensation fusion model is ensured. In offline mode, parameters are extracted / modified for the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and ECM module based on the LNVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm. In online mode, parameters are effectively refreshed / modified only for the BL-DPD module based on the SEVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm. Furthermore, this nonlinear compensation fusion model involves more addition and subtraction operations on several coefficients compared to a system that only uses the DPD module. As a result, the execution complexity of both is almost the same, and compared to conventional technical methods that apply the CFR module and DPD module independently, the execution complexity is reduced, and the compensation capability of the digital predistortor for the nonlinearity of the broadband power amplifier can be effectively improved.
[0071] The following describes a method for compensating for nonlinear distortion of signals provided in exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, based on the OFDM communication system described above, with reference to the drawings. The architecture of the system described above is provided for the purpose of easily understanding the spirit and principles of this disclosure, and the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto.
[0072] Referring to Figure 2, Figure 2 is an implementation flow chart of a nonlinear distortion compensation method for signals provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is applied to the OFDM communication system described above, and the detailed implementation flow of the method is as follows.
[0073] S201: Input the initial OFDM signal into the preset nonlinear compensated fusion model.
[0074] Here, the nonlinear compensation fusion model comprises a BL-DPD module, a BL-CFR module, and an error compensation module ECM, where the error compensation module ECMH is used to perform error compensation on the OFDM signals output from the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module.
[0075] Note that the basis functions used by the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module are the same, but the model parameter sets (i.e., coefficients) are different.
[0076] S202: For the initial OFDM signal, the first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, the second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and the third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module are acquired, respectively.
[0077] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 3, when step S202 is performed, the nonlinear compensation fusion model modulates the initial OFDM signal based on the model parameter sets converged in the offline modes of the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module ECM, respectively, and acquires the first OFDM signal, the second OFDM signal, and the third OFDM signal, respectively, where the offline mode represents the absence of receiving the initial OFDM signal. Using this method, the initial OFDM signal is processed by three parallel modules, effectively avoiding the technical drawbacks of the prior art, where the DPD module is applied after the CFR module, which increases the demands on the ADC / DAC sampling rate in the OFDM system, as well as the demands on hardware and algorithm convergence speed, thereby increasing the difficulty and cost of system implementation.

[0084] Therefore, as described above, the above model parameter set is 1. Combinations of parameters consisting of kernel coefficients, nonlinear order, memory depth, and order of low-order LPF of the BL-DPD module, 2. Combinations of parameters consisting of kernel coefficients, nonlinear order, memory depth, and order of low-order LPF of the BL-CFR module, 3. Combinations of parameters consisting of kernel coefficients, nonlinear order, and memory depth of the error compensation module ECM, It includes one of the following.
[0085] S203: Based on the first OFDM signal, the second OFDM signal, and the third OFDM signal, an initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation is obtained.
[0086] Specifically, when step S203 is executed, the nonlinear compensation fusion model can obtain a first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, a second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and a third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module, and then obtain an initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation based on the first OFDM signal, the second OFDM signal, and the third OFDM signal.
[0087] JPEG0007846794000007.jpg63169
[0088] The converged model parameter sets for the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module in offline mode are obtained through the nonlinear compensation fusion model and the first bifurcation, the nonlinear compensation fusion model and the second bifurcation, and the nonlinear compensation fusion model and the third bifurcation, respectively.
[0089] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 4, if the combination of parameters in the model parameter set consists of the kernel coefficients of the BL-DPD module, the nonlinear order, the memory depth, and the order of the low-order LPF, the model parameter set is obtained as follows.
[0090] S401: A sample OFDM signal in offline mode is input to the BL-DPD module, and the sample OFDM signal after DPD processing is obtained.
[0091] For example, when step S401 is executed, it is assumed that the sample OFDM signal in offline mode is s(n), and the kernel processing of the BL-DPD module is performed to obtain the sample OFDM signal x(n) after DPD processing.
[0092] S402: Based on the sample OFDM signal after DPD processing and the conjugate parameter set corresponding to the initial parameter set of the BL-DPD module, the sample OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing is obtained.
[0093] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5, when step S402 is performed, the OFDM communication system, upon acquiring a sample OFDM signal after DPD processing, performs digital-to-analog conversion, up-converting, and power amplification processing sequentially on the sample OFDM signal after DPD processing via a first branch in offline mode, thereby acquiring a sample OFDM signal after power amplification. Then, performs power attenuation, down-converting, and analog-to-digital conversion processing sequentially on the sample OFDM signal after power amplification, thereby acquiring a sample OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion. Finally, based on the sample OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion and the conjugate parameter set corresponding to the initial parameter set, a sample OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing can be acquired.

[0097] S403: The target DPD error signal is obtained based on the sample OFDM signal in offline mode and the sample OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing.

[0099] JPEG0007846794000012.jpg13169
[0100] S404: Target DPD error signal and preset low-noise variable step size - Iteratively modify the initial parameter set until the absolute value of the target DPD error signal is smaller than the set threshold for the DPD error signal, based on the least mean squares algorithm.
[0101] JPEG0007846794000013.jpg57169
[0102] JPEG0007846794000014.jpg25170
[0103] S601: Acquire sample OFDM signals corresponding to each of multiple historical time points adjacent to the current sample OFDM signal in offline mode.
[0104] Exemplary, when step S601 is performed, the OFDM communication system obtains sample OFDM signals s(i) corresponding to each of several historical time points adjacent to the currently offline sample OFDM signal s(n), for example, obtaining the first N sample OFDM signals s(i), where i is an integer ∈ (1, N).
[0105] S602: Based on the historical DPD error signal corresponding to each of the multiple sample OFDM signals, the average value of the DPD error signal of the sample OFDM signal at the current time in offline mode is obtained.
[0106] JPEG0007846794000015.jpg25169
[0107] JPEG0007846794000016.jpg13170
[0108] S603: Obtain the first target step size factor based on the average value of the DPD error signal, the step size factor at the previous historical time adjacent to the current time, the target DPD error signal at the current time, and the historical DPD error signal at the previous historical time.
[0109] JPEG0007846794000017.jpg23170
[0110] JPEG0007846794000018.jpg70170
[0111] Furthermore, α and β mentioned above are predetermined according to the actual situation, and the formula for calculating the first target step size factor can be used as the formula for updating the first target step size factor.
[0112] S604: Based on the first target step size factor, the conjugate DPD error signal corresponding to the target DPD error signal at the current time, and the sample OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion, the initial parameter set at the current time is corrected, and the corrected initial parameter set is obtained.
[0113] JPEG0007846794000019.jpg23170
[0114] JPEG0007846794000020.jpg36170
[0115] It is clear that by the method described in steps S601 to S604 above, iterative correction of the initial parameter set is achieved in offline mode, thereby enabling the BL-DPD module to complete nonlinear distortion compensation to the initial OFDM signal according to a more precise model parameter set.
[0116] S405: The initial parameter set after iterative correction will be used as the model parameter set for the BL-DPD module.
[0117] Specifically, when step S405 is executed, if it is determined that the absolute value of the current target DPD error signal is smaller than the set threshold value of the DPD error signal, the initial parameter set after iterative correction at this time can be used as the model parameter set for the BL-DPD module, and this model parameter set can be assigned to the BL-DPD module.
[0118] Preferably, before performing step S404, if the absolute value of the target DPD error signal is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the DPD error signal, the initial parameter set is used as the model parameter set for the BL-DPD module.
[0119] Therefore, by using the method described in steps S401 to S405 above, the OFDM communication system selects the Mode as offline mode, processes the sample OFDM signal with a nonlinear compensation fusion model and a first branch, and trains the POST-BL-DPD module using the LNVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm, thereby realizing the modification and extraction of the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module.
[0120] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 7, if the combination of parameters in the model parameter set consists of the kernel coefficients of the BL-CFR module, the nonlinear order, the memory depth, and the order of the low-order LPF, the model parameter set is obtained as follows.
[0121] S701: Sample OFDM signals in offline mode are sequentially input to the BL-DPD module and the preset CFR module to obtain the sample OFDM signals after DPD-CFR processing.
[0122] For example, when step S701 is executed, assuming that the sample OFDM signal in offline mode is s(n), the BL-DPD module kernel processing obtains the sample OFDM signal x(n) after DPD processing, and the sample OFDM signal x(n) after DPD processing is processed by the preset CFR module to obtain the sample OFDM signal x_c(n) after DPD-CFR processing.
[0123] S702: The sample OFDM signal after CFR processing is obtained based on the sample OFDM signal in offline mode and the conjugate parameter set corresponding to the initial parameter set of the BL-CFR module.

[0127] JPEG0007846794000024.jpg8170
[0128] S703: The target CFR error signal is obtained based on the sample OFDM signal after DPD-CFR processing and the sample OFDM signal after CFR processing.
[0129] JPEG0007846794000025.jpg23169
[0130] JPEG0007846794000026.jpg18170
[0131] S704: Target CFR error signal and preset low-noise variable step size - Iteratively modify the initial parameter set based on a least mean squares algorithm until the absolute value of the target CFR error signal is smaller than the set threshold for the CFR error signal.
[0132] JPEG0007846794000027.jpg58169
[0133] JPEG0007846794000028.jpg38170
[0134] S705: The initial parameter set after iterative correction will be used as the model parameter set for the BL-CFR module.
[0135] Specifically, when step S705 is executed, if it is determined that the absolute value of the current target CFR error signal is smaller than the set threshold value of the CFR error signal, the initial parameter set after iterative correction at this time can be used as the model parameter set for the BL-CFR module, and this model parameter set can be assigned to the BL-CFR module.
[0136] Preferably, before performing step 704, if the absolute value of the target CFR error signal is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the CFR error signal, the initial parameter set is used as the model parameter set for the BL-CFR module.
[0137] Therefore, based on the method described in steps S701 to S705 above, in the OFDM communication system, the Mode is selected as offline mode, a nonlinear compensation fusion model and a second branch processing are performed on the sample OFDM signal, and the POST-BL-CFR module is trained using the LNVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm, thereby realizing the modification and extraction of the model parameter set of the BL-CFR module.
[0138] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 8, if the combination of parameters in the model parameter set consists of the kernel coefficients, nonlinear order, and memory depth of the error compensation module ECM, the model parameter set is obtained as follows.
[0139] S801: Sample OFDM signals in offline mode are input to a nonlinear compensation fusion model and a preset higher-order LPF, respectively, to obtain the sample OFDM signals after nonlinear distortion compensation and the sample OFDM signals after filtering.
[0140] Furthermore, when acquiring the model parameter set for the error compensation module ECM, that is, when performing the method described in steps S801 to S804, the sample OFDM signal in offline mode is small, i.e., has a small width, and is in the linear region of PA.
[0141] Furthermore, to reduce the complexity of the model, the BL-DPD module and BL-CFR module are generated by low-order FIR processing. To compensate for signal loss due to the low-order FIR, error compensation parameters are trained offline using high-order FIR, effectively reducing the order of the band-limiting FIR. This reduces the overall complexity of the nonlinear strain fusion model while ensuring the accuracy and performance of the entire model.

[0145] However, h represents the coefficient of the preset higher-order LPF, and L^' represents the order of the preset higher-order LPF, preferably L^' being 91 or higher.
[0146] S802: The target compensation error signal is obtained based on the sample OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation and the sample OFDM signal after filtering.
[0147] JPEG0007846794000032.jpg24170
[0148] JPEG0007846794000033.jpg19170
[0149] S803: Target compensation error signal and preset low-noise variable step size - Based on the least mean squares algorithm, the initial parameter set of the error compensation module is iteratively modified until the absolute value of the target compensation error signal is smaller than the set threshold of the compensation error signal.
[0150] JPEG0007846794000034.jpg58169
[0151] JPEG0007846794000035.jpg35170
[0152] S804: The initial parameter set after iterative correction will be used as the model parameter set for the error compensation module.
[0153] Specifically, when step S804 is executed, if it is determined that the absolute value of the current target compensation error signal is smaller than the set threshold of the compensation error signal, the initial parameter set after iterative correction at this time can be used as the model parameter set for the error compensation module ECM, and this model parameter set can be assigned to the error compensation module ECM.
[0154] Preferably, before step S804 is executed, if the absolute value of the target compensation error signal is greater than or equal to the threshold value of the compensation error signal, the initial parameter set is used as the model parameter set for the error compensation module ECM.
[0155] Therefore, based on the method described in steps 801 to S804 above, in the OFDM communication system, the Mode is selected as offline mode, a nonlinear compensation fusion model and a third branch processing are performed on the sample OFDM signal, and the CBL-CFR-DPD module is trained using the LNVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm, thereby realizing the modification and extraction of the model parameter set of the error compensation module ECM.
[0156] Furthermore, referring to Figure 9, the OFDM communication system can, after acquiring the initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation using a nonlinear compensation fusion model, refresh / modify the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module, and the specific operation flow is as follows.
[0157] S901: The initial OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing is obtained based on the initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation and the conjugate parameter set corresponding to the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module.
[0158] In one preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 10, the OFDM communication system can acquire an initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation, then, via a fourth branch in online mode, sequentially perform digital-to-analog conversion, up-converting, and power amplification processing on the initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation to acquire an initial OFDM signal after power amplification, and then sequentially perform power attenuation, down-converting, and analog-to-digital conversion processing on the initial OFDM signal after power amplification to acquire an initial OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion, and finally, acquire an initial OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing based on the initial OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion and the conjugate parameter set corresponding to the model parameter set.

[0162] S902: The target strain compensation error signal is obtained based on the initial OFDM signal after nonlinear strain compensation and the initial OFDM signal after inverse DPD processing.
[0163] JPEG0007846794000039.jpg22170
[0164] JPEG0007846794000040.jpg19170
[0165] S903: Based on the target distortion compensation error signal and a preset sine and error variable step size - least mean squares algorithm, the model parameter set is iteratively modified until the absolute value of the target distortion compensation error signal is less than the set distortion compensation error threshold.
[0166] JPEG0007846794000041.jpg64169
[0167] JPEG0007846794000042.jpg96170
[0168] Furthermore, the technical means of constructing the new CBL-CFR-DPD integration utilizes a mechanism for extracting and refreshing each module parameter "offline + online," thereby effectively improving the engineering capability of the digital predistortor to compensate for nonlinearities in broadband PAs. In offline mode, extraction of each module parameter is completed, effectively increasing operational efficiency, while in online mode, effective refreshing of the CBL-CFR-DPD module parameters is completed, enabling rapid predistortion processing for broadband signals. The error compensation module (ECM) then substantially integrates the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module into a single module. As a result, although this model involves more addition and subtraction calculations of several coefficients compared to a system that only runs the DPD module, the execution complexity of both is almost the same, and the execution complexity is reduced compared to the conventional technical means of applying the CFR module and DPD module independently.
[0169] JPEG0007846794000043.jpg23170
[0170] S1101: At the present time, acquire sample OFDM signals after nonlinear distortion compensation, corresponding to each of several historical time points adjacent to the initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation.
[0171] JPEG0007846794000044.jpg33170
[0172] S1102: Based on the hysteresis distortion compensation error signals corresponding to each of the multiple nonlinear distortion-compensated sample OFDM signals, the average value of the distortion compensation error signal of the initial nonlinear distortion-compensated OFDM signal at the current time is obtained.
[0173] JPEG0007846794000045.jpg25169
[0174] JPEG0007846794000046.jpg12168
[0175] S1103: The second target step size factor is obtained based on the error term corresponding to the mean value of the distortion compensation error signal, the target distortion compensation error signal at the current time, and the historical distortion compensation error signal at the previous historical time adjacent to the current time.
[0176] JPEG0007846794000047.jpg22169
[0177] JPEG0007846794000048.jpg52170
[0178] S1104: Based on the second target step size factor, the conjugate distortion compensation error signal corresponding to the target distortion compensation error signal at the current time, and the initial OFDM signal after analog-to-digital conversion, the model parameter set at the current time is modified, and the modified model parameter set is obtained.
[0179] JPEG0007846794000049.jpg22170
[0180] JPEG0007846794000050.jpg35169
[0181] Based on the method described in steps S1101 to S1104 above, it is clear that iterative correction of the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module is achieved in online mode, thereby enabling the BL-DPD module to subsequently complete nonlinear distortion compensation to the OFDM signal according to a more precise model parameter set.
[0182] Preferably, in online mode, the OFDM communication system can iteratively modify the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module based on a set period time, that is, it can perform online-mode branching (i.e., nonlinear compensation fusion model and fourth branching) on the initial OFDM signal based on a preset period T.
[0183] Furthermore, if it is determined that the absolute value of the current target distortion compensation error signal is smaller than the set threshold for distortion compensation error, the iteratively corrected model parameter set at this point can be made the new model parameter set for the BL-DPD module, and this model parameter set can be assigned to the BL-DPD module.
[0184] Therefore, based on the method described in steps S901 to S903 above, the OFDM communication system switches the Mode to online mode, performs online branching (nonlinear compensation fusion model and fourth branching) on the initial OFDM signal based on the preset period T, and uses the SEVSS-LMS self-adaptive algorithm to perform an effective refresh / modification on the parameters of the nonlinear compensation fusion model (i.e., the CBL-CFR-DPD model) (i.e., the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module).
[0185] As described above, in the nonlinear distortion compensation method for signals provided in the embodiments of this disclosure, DPD processing, CFR processing, and error compensation processing are performed on the initial OFDM signal based on a preset nonlinear compensation fusion model, thereby obtaining an initial OFDM signal after nonlinear distortion compensation based on a first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, a second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and a third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module.
[0186] Thus, by arranging the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module in parallel in the preset nonlinear compensation fusion model, the technical drawbacks of the conventional technology, where the DPD module is applied after the CFR module, are avoided. This increases the demands on the ADC / DAC sampling rate in the OFDM system, as well as the demands on hardware and algorithm convergence speed, thereby increasing the difficulty and cost of system implementation. As a result, not only are the demands on the ADC / DAC sampling rate effectively reduced, but the communication and sensing capabilities of the OFDM system are further improved by enhancing the DPD's ability to compensate for the nonlinearity of the power amplifier.
[0187] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a nonlinear compensation fusion model comprising a BL-DPD module, a BL-CFR module, and an error compensation module. The BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module are connected in parallel. The basis functions used by the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module are the same, and the error compensation module is used to perform error compensation on the OFDM signals output from the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module.
[0188] In one preferred embodiment, the basis functions used by the BL-DPD module and the BL-CFR module are the same.
[0189] In one preferred embodiment, the nonlinear compensation fusion model is Based on the initial OFDM signal, a first OFDM signal processed by the BL-DPD module, a second OFDM signal processed by the BL-CFR module, and a third OFDM signal processed by the error compensation module are obtained.

[0190] In one preferred embodiment, the nonlinear compensation fusion model further In offline mode, it is used to extract model parameter sets for the BL-DPD module, BL-CFR module, and error compensation module based on a preset low-noise variable step-size-least mean squares algorithm.

[0193] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present disclosure provide an OFDM communication system comprising a nonlinear compensation fusion model and a first branch, a second branch, a third branch, and a fourth branch. In the nonlinear compensated fusion model, the BL-DPD module and the first branch are used in offline mode to iteratively modify the initial parameter set of the BL-DPD module and obtain the model parameter set of the BL-DPD module. In the nonlinear compensated fusion model, the BL-CFR module and the second branch are used in offline mode to iteratively modify the initial parameter set of the BL-CFR module and obtain the model parameter set of the BL-CFR module.
