This invention relates to the field of multi-carrier communication systems and proposes a blind RS detection method based on the similarity of adjacent subcarriers. It aims to solve the problem of high network signaling overhead caused by high-frequency RS
signal transmission in dense, large-scale
constellation scenarios, eliminating the need to rely on higher-layer signaling and
dynamic control signaling to indicate the RS
signal pattern. The method first obtains the estimated
frequency response sequence of the
subcarrier channel corresponding to the RS symbol. Then, through N
parallel processing units, it performs differential, modulus-square, and accumulation operations on the N RS patterns supported by the
system to obtain the
frequency response differential power sum of each pattern. Finally, it retrieves the
branch corresponding to the minimum value, and the associated RS pattern is the detection result. This invention designs two implementation schemes: parallel accumulation and sequential accumulation. The former improves detection efficiency, while the latter has low logic
resource consumption and is easy to implement in hardware. It is applicable to various multi-carrier systems such as cellular mobile communication,
satellite mobile communication, and non-terrestrial
network communication.
