This application claims the benefit of Taiwan application Serial No. 105134039, filed Oct. 21, 2016, the subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates in general to a multipoint transmission and reception method and a multipoint transmission and reception base station.

BACKGROUND

In general, a base station includes an oscillator. Since the oscillating frequencies of the oscillators in different base stations may be different, a carrier frequency offset (CFO) may exist between any two base stations. In the case that a user equipment is served by a single base station, the CFO issue may be solved by the synchronization mechanism in the user equipment. However, in the case that the user equipment is served by a plurality of base stations, for example, in a coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception system, it is difficult for the user equipment to use the synchronization mechanism to solve the CFO issues between all of the base stations and/or the user equipment simultaneously. In addition, under a moving environment such as high-speed rail system, a frequency offset induced by Doppler effect may results in poor quality or disconnection for the user equipment to perform wireless communication, and the base stations are difficult to perform the CoMP transmission and reception. Therefore, it becomes a challenge to overcome.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In a wireless communication system, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) or LTE-Advanced, when a user equipment (UE) such as a mobile device is in a common/overlapped service area of a plurality of base stations, the base stations may perform coordinated multipoint (CoMP) transmission and reception to serve the user equipment. Before performing CoMP transmission and reception, the base stations may be formed into a CoMP set. When the user equipment is under a moving environment (for example, a mobile phone is in a running high-speed rail train), the base stations in the CoMP set may be changed when the user equipment is moving.

Since an oscillating frequency of an oscillator in each of the base stations is different, a carrier frequency offset (CFO) may exist between one base station and another base station. In addition, in a moving environment, Doppler effect may cause additional frequency offset. In an embodiment of the disclosure, a frequency offset includes the CFO and a Doppler shift. The CFO is occurred because of different oscillating frequencies of the oscillators between a base station and another base station/a user equipment. The Doppler shift is generated because of the Doppler effect (for example, a relative movement between a base station and another base station/a user equipment.)

FIG. 4A shows a flow chart of a CoMP transmission and reception method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4A. The flow chart in FIG. 4A is adapted to a CoMP transmission and reception system. The CoMP transmission and reception system includes a plurality of base stations and at least a mobile device. In an embodiment, the CoMP transmission and reception system may also include a central controller 400 as described in FIG. 2. In the step S410, the central control unit 410 forms a plurality of base stations into a CoMP set 100. For example, at time t1, the central control unit 410 forms the first base station 210, the second base station 220, and the third base station 230 into the CoMP set 100; at time t2, the central control unit 410 forms the third base station 230, the fourth base station 240, and the fifth base station 250 into the CoMP set 100. After the step S410 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S420.

In the step S420, the central control unit 410 calculates a corresponding Doppler shift value between each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and a mobile device 310 respectively. For example, at time t1, the central control unit 410 calculates a first Doppler shift value between the first base station 210 and the mobile device 310, a second Doppler shift value between the second base station 220 and the mobile device 310, and a third Doppler shift value between the third base station 230 and the mobile device 310; at time t2, the central control unit 410 calculates the third Doppler shift value between the third base station 230 and the mobile device 310, a fourth Doppler shift value between the fourth base station 240 and the mobile device 310, and a fifth Doppler shift value between the fifth base station 250 and the mobile device 310. Since a relative speed and/or a relative position between the mobile device 310 and the third base station 230 at time t1 and the relative speed and/or the relative position between the mobile device 310 and the third base station 230 at time t2 are different, the calculated third Doppler shift value at time t1 and the calculated third Doppler shift value at time t2 may be different. After the step S420 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S430.

In the step S430, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs a Doppler compensation on a reference signal according to the corresponding Doppler shift value to generate each of a corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal, and determines whether a corresponding CFO value of the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. If all of the CFO values are converged, then each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs a frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value respectively. For example, at time t1, the first base station 210 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the first Doppler shift value to generate a first Doppler compensated reference signal and determines whether a first CFO value of the first Doppler compensated reference signal is converged, the second base station 220 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the second Doppler shift value to generate a second Doppler compensated reference signal and determines whether a second CFO value of the second Doppler compensated reference signal is converged, and the third base station 230 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the third Doppler shift value to generate a third Doppler compensated reference signal and determines whether a third CFO value of the third Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. If the first CFO value, the second CFO value, and the third CFO value are converged, then the first base station 210 performs the frequency correction according to the first CFO value, the second base station 220 performs the frequency correction according to the second CFO value, and the third base station 230 performs the frequency correction according to the third CFO value. At time t2, the third base station 230 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the third Doppler shift value and determines whether a third CFO value of the Doppler compensated reference signal is converged, the fourth base station 240 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the fourth Doppler shift value and determines whether a fourth CFO value of the Doppler compensated reference signal is converged, and the fifth base station 250 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the fifth Doppler shift value and determines whether a fifth CFO value of the Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. If the third CFO value, the fourth CFO value, and the fifth CFO value are converged, then the third base station 230 performs the frequency correction according to the third CFO value, the fourth base station 240 performs the frequency correction according to the fourth CFO value, and the fifth base station 250 perform the frequency correction according to the fifth CFO value. In an embodiment, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 may determine whether the corresponding CFO value of the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. Each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 may transmit the corresponding CFO value to the central control unit 410, and the central control unit 410 determines whether the CFO values are converged. In an embodiment, after one base station in the CoMP set 100 determines that the corresponding CFO value is converged, the base station may perform the frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value without waiting for notification from the central control unit 410. Later, if the base station receives a notification informed by the central control unit 410 or informed by any of the base stations that the corresponding CFO value in any of the base stations is not converged, then the base station recovers the corrected frequency to an original frequency. In an embodiment, if the corresponding CFO value of each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 is converged, and after the central control unit 410 determines that all of the CFO values are converged, the central control unit 410 may transmit an notification of frequency correction to each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 to request each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 to perform the frequency correction.

In FIG. 4A, the step S410 and the step S420 may be performed in advance or may be performed real-time. For example, which base stations will be formed into the CoMP set 100 may be estimated before time t1, and the Doppler shift values may be calculated in advance. In another example, which base stations would be formed into the CoMP set 100 may be determined at time t1, and then calculating the Doppler shift values.

FIG. 4B shows a flow chart of a CoMP transmission and reception method according to another embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4B. The flow chart in FIG. 4B is adapted to a CoMP transmission and reception system. In the step S440, the central control unit 410 obtains a CoMP transmission and reception information. In an embodiment, the CoMP transmission and reception information include a real-time information and/or a CoMP set information. The mobile device 310 transmits the real-time information to the central control unit 410, and the database unit 420 transmits the CoMP set information to the central control unit 410. In an embodiment, the central control unit 410 may request the real-time information and/or the CoMP set information from the mobile device 310 and/or the database unit 420, and then the mobile device 310 and/or the database unit 420 transmit the real-time information and/or the CoMP set information to the central control unit 410. In an embodiment, the train 300 runs along a fixed or predetermined route and follows a fixed or predetermined timetable. In an embodiment, the CoMP set information may include the timetable of the train 300, a position of the train 300, the route of the train 300, a speed of the train 300, and/or a position of each of the base stations. The CoMP set information may also include a weather information (for example, the temperature or the humidity) or any information useful for the calculation of the frequency offset. In an embodiment, the real-time information may include the position of the train 300 and/or the speed of the train 300. It is noted that since the mobile device 310 is in the train 300, the timetable of the train 300, the position of the train 300, the route of the train 300, and/or the speed of the train 300 may also be considered as a timetable of the mobile device 310, a position of the mobile device 310, a route of the mobile device 310, and/or a speed of the mobile device 310. Both the CoMP set information and the real-time information may include the position of the train 300 and/or the speed of the train 300. In an embodiment, the position of the train 300 and/or the speed of the train 300 included in the CoMP set information is pre-scheduled or is estimated from the timetable of the train 300, while the position of the train 300 and/or the speed of the train 300 included in the real-time information is obtained from global positioning system (GPS) and/or sensor(s). After the step S440 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S450.

In the step S450, the central control unit 410 forms a plurality of base stations into a CoMP set 100 according to the CoMP transmission and reception information. In an embodiment, the central control unit 410 also transmits the CoMP set 100 and/or related information (for example, the base stations included in the CoMP set 100 and all or part of the CoMP transmission and reception information) to the base stations in the CoMP set 100. In an embodiment, the central control unit 410 forms the base stations into the CoMP set 100 according to the timetable of the train 300, the route of the train 300, and/or the position of each of the base stations transmitted from the database unit 420. The description of the step S450 and the description of the step S410 in FIG. 4A may be cross-referenced. After the step S450 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S460.

In the step S460, the central control unit 410 calculates a corresponding Doppler shift value between each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and a mobile device 310 respectively according to the CoMP transmission and reception information. In an embodiment, the central control unit 410 calculates the corresponding the Doppler shift value between each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and the mobile device 310 respectively according to the route of the train 300 (the route of the mobile device 310), the position of the train 300 (the position of the mobile device 310), the speed of the train 300 (the speed of the mobile device 310) and/or the position of each of the base stations. In an embodiment, according to the position of each of the base stations, the central control unit 410 may also calculate small differences between the Doppler shift values and then determining a compensation order of each of the base stations. For example, at time t1, compensating the first base station 210 firstly, then compensating the second base station 220, and compensating the third base station 230 at last. The description of the step S460 and the description of the step S420 in FIG. 4A may be cross-referenced. After the step S460 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S470.

In the step S470, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs a Doppler compensation on a reference signal according to the corresponding Doppler shift value to generate a corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal, and determines whether a corresponding CFO value of the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. If all of the CFO values are converged, then each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs a frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value. The description of the step S470 and the description of the step S430 in FIG. 4A may be cross-referenced.

FIG. 5 shows a flow chart of the CoMP transmission and reception method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2, FIG. 3A, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, and FIG. 5. The flow chart of FIG. 5 may be adaptive to any of the base stations in the CoMP set 100. For example, at time t1, the flow may be applied to the first base station 210, the second base station 220, and/or the third base station 230. At time t2, the flow may be applied to the third base station 230, the fourth base station 240, and/or the fifth base station 250.

In the step S510, the CFO estimation and determination unit 520 obtains a corresponding Doppler shift value between the base station and a mobile device 310. In an embodiment, the corresponding Doppler shift value is a Doppler shift value between the base station 500 and the mobile device 310, and the first base station 210 may be used as an example of the base station 500. The corresponding Doppler shift value is the Doppler shift value between the first base station 210 and the mobile device 310. In an embodiment, the corresponding Doppler shift value may be calculated by the central control unit 410 of the central controller 400 and transmitted to the base station 500. The transmitting and receiving unit 510 of the base station 500 receives the corresponding Doppler shift value and sends the corresponding Doppler shift value to the CFO estimation and determination unit 520 of the base station 500. In an embodiment, the corresponding Doppler shift value may be calculated by the base station 500. The description of the step S510 and the description of the step S420 in FIG. 4A may be cross-referenced. After the step S510 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S520.

In the step S520, the frequency compensation unit 530 performs a Doppler compensation on a reference signal according to the corresponding Doppler shift value to generate a corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal, and the CFO estimation and determination unit 520 determines whether a corresponding CFO value of the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal is converged. If the corresponding CFO value is converged, the frequency compensation unit 530 performs a frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value. The description of the step S520, the description of the step S430 and the step S470 in FIG. 4A may be cross-referenced.

FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of the Doppler compensation and the frequency correction according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The flow chart of FIG. 6 may be adapted to a CoMP transmission and reception system. The flow chart of FIG. 6 may also be a detailed flow of the step S430 in FIG. 4A and the step S470 in FIG. 4B. Referring to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2, FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, and FIG. 6. At time t1, for example, when the mobile device 310 enters the service area of the CoMP set 100 formed by the first base station 210, the second base station 220, and the third base station 230, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and/or the mobile device 310 performs the frequency synchronization according to each of the Doppler shift values respectively. The frequency synchronization may be performed in way of a Doppler compensation and a frequency correction. In this embodiment, the process of the Doppler compensation and the frequency correction is initiated by the mobile device 310. In the step S610, the mobile device 310 transmits the reference signal to each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100. In other words, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 receives the reference signal transmitted from the mobile device 310. At time t1, for example, the mobile device 310 transmits the reference signal to the first base station 210, the second base station 220, and the third base station 230. The reference signal may be a pre-defined signal. For example, the reference signal may be a signal whose amplitude is always one. After being modulated, the reference signal becomes a sine wave signal. When the modulated reference signal is received by each of the base stations, each of the received reference signals contains a corresponding frequency offset because of CFO and Doppler shift. In an embodiment, before the step S610 is performed, the central control unit 410 transmits the corresponding Doppler shift value calculated in the step S420 or in the step S460 to each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 respectively. In an embodiment, before the step S610 is performed, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 calculates the corresponding Doppler shift value. After the step S610 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S620.

In the step S620, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the corresponding Doppler shift value to generate the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal In an embodiment, the Doppler compensation is performed by decreasing the frequency of the base station as the mobile device 310 is moving closer to the base station and increasing the frequency of the base station as the mobile device 310 is moving further from the base station. The Doppler compensation may be performed by digital signal processing such as a baseband circuit in the base station or a signal processing circuit. The Doppler compensation may be performed only on resource block(s) used by each of the base stations and the mobile device 310 respectively, such that the communication between each of the base stations and other user equipment is not influenced. For example, at time t1, the first base station 210 receives the reference signal and performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the first Doppler shift value, the second base station 220 receives the reference signal and performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the second Doppler shift value, and the third base station 230 receives the reference signal and performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the third Doppler shift value. The compensated reference signals are the first Doppler compensated reference signal, the second Doppler compensated reference signal and the third Doppler compensated reference signal, respectively. In detail, for example, an original frequency in the first base station 210 is f_o1(t) and the received reference signal includes a frequency offset −f_d1(t), such that the frequency of the received reference signal is f_o1(t)−f_d1(t). The first Doppler shift value is −f_ds1(t), and the first base station 210 performs the Doppler compensation on the received reference signal, such that the frequency of the Doppler compensated reference signal f_dc1(t) is f_o1(t)−f_d1(t)+f_ds1(t), wherein t means time and f means frequency. Therefore, after performing the Doppler compensation, the Doppler compensated frequency of the first base station 210 is f_dc1(t). The description of the Doppler compensated frequencies of the second base station 220 and the third base station 230 are similar to the description of the Doppler compensated frequency of the first base station 210. After the step S620 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S630.

In the step S630, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 estimates the corresponding CFO value according to the corresponding Doppler compensated reference signal. At time t1, for example, the first base station 210 estimates the first CFO value according to the first Doppler compensated reference signal, the second base station 220 estimates the second CFO value according to the second Doppler compensated reference signal, and the third base station 230 estimates the third CFO value according to the third Doppler compensated reference signal. In an embodiment, if one of the Doppler compensated reference signals still contains a frequency offset, then the frequency offset of the Doppler compensated reference signal is deemed as CFO. Maximum likelihood (ML) or maximum a posteriori probability (MAP), for example, may be used to estimate the CFO values. After the step S630 is performed, the process proceeds to the step S640.

In the step S640, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 determines whether the corresponding CFO value is converged. In an embodiment, the method for each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 to determine whether the corresponding CFO value is converged is to determine whether the corresponding CFO value is smaller than a threshold value. The threshold value, for example, may be determined by measuring the bit error rate (BER) or the maximum segment size (MSS) in the whole system. At time t1, for example, the first base station 210 determines whether the first CFO value is smaller than the threshold value, the second base station 220 determines whether the second CFO value is smaller than the threshold value, and the third base station 230 determines whether the third CFO value is smaller than the threshold value. In an embodiment, in the step S640, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 transmits the corresponding CFO value to the central control unit 410 respectively, and the central control unit 410 determines whether the CFO values are converged (for example, the CFO values are all smaller than the threshold value). If all of the CFO values are converged (for example, the CFO values are all smaller than the threshold value), then the process proceeds to the step S650. If not all of the CFO values are converged, then the process proceeds to the step S660. In other words, if any of the CFO values is not converged, then the process proceeds to the step S660.

If all of the CFO values are converged (smaller than the threshold value), in the step S650, each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs the frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value. At time t1, for example, the first base station 210 performs the frequency correction according to the first CFO value, the second base station 220 performs the frequency correction according to the second CFO value, and the third base station 230 performs the frequency correction according to the third CFO value. The method of performing frequency correction, for example, is to adjust a frequency of an oscillator in each of the base station or a frequency of an oscillating circuit in each of the base stations. In an embodiment, in the step S640, if the determination of whether all of the CFO values are smaller than the threshold value is performed by the central control unit 410, then the central control unit 410 transmits a frequency correction notification to each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 before proceeding to the step S650. The frequency correction notification is to request each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 to perform the frequency correction according to the corresponding CFO value. The method of performing frequency correction is described in detail as follows. In the step S620, the frequency of the Doppler compensated reference signal f_dc1(t) is f_o1(t)−f_d1(t)+f_ds1(t). In the step S630, assumed that the first CFO value is −f_cfo1(t). Then the first base station 210 performs the frequency correction according to the first CFO value −f_cfo1(t). The frequency of the reference signal after performing the frequency correction f_fc1(t) is f_o1(t)−f_d1(t)+f_ds1(t)+f_cfo1(t). Therefore, after performing the frequency correction, the frequency of the first base station 210 is f_fc1(t).

If any of the CFO values is not converged (not smaller than the threshold value), in the step S660, the base station with the corresponding CFO value not smaller than the threshold value transmits a report to the central control unit 410. The report may include a serial number (or identification) of the base station, the corresponding CFO value, whether the corresponding CFO value is converged (smaller than a threshold value), and/or a difference value between the corresponding CFO value and the threshold value. The central control unit 410 recalculates the corresponding Doppler shift value between each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and the mobile device 310 respectively according to the report. At time t1, for example, if the second CFO value of the second base station 220 is not converged (not smaller than the threshold value), the second base station 220 transmits the report to the central control unit 410. The central control unit 410 recalculates the first Doppler shift value between the first base station 210 and the mobile device 310, the second Doppler shift value between the second base station 220 and the mobile device 310, and the third Doppler shift value between the third base station 230 and the mobile device 310 respectively according to the report. In an embodiment, if any of the CFO values is not smaller than the threshold value, then the central control unit 410 determines that the position of the train 300 (the mobile device 310) provided by the database unit 420 is different from a real position of the train 300 (the mobile device 310). Therefore, the Doppler shift values are to be recalculated. Interpolation or extrapolation, for example, may be used to redetermine the position of the train 300 (the mobile device 310), and the Doppler shift values are recalculated according to the redetermined position of the train 300 (the mobile device 310). In an embodiment, if the determination that whether all of the CFO values are smaller than the threshold value is performed by the central control unit 410 in the step S640, then the process of transmitting the reported in the step S660 may be omitted and the central control unit 410 may recalculate the corresponding Doppler shift value between each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 and the mobile device 310 without the report. After recalculating the Doppler shift values, the process returns to the step S620. Each of the base stations in the CoMP set 100 performs the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the corresponding Doppler shift values. Since each of the base stations may store the reference signal in a buffer or a memory device (for example, a memory, a hard disk drive, or a SSD), the process does not need to return to the step S610 for the mobile device 310 to retransmit the reference signal. In another embodiment, after recalculating the Doppler shift values, the process returns to the step S610 for the mobile device 310 retransmits the reference signal (not shown). In this case, each of the base stations does not need to store the reference signal in a buffer or a memory device.

After the step S770 is performed, the process return to the step S720 for the digital circuit 532 to perform the Doppler compensation on the reference signal according to the corresponding recalculated Doppler shift value. Since the base station may store the reference signal in a buffer or a memory device, the process does not need to return to the step S710 for the transmitting and receiving unit 510 to receive the reference signal retransmitted from the mobile device 310. In another embodiment, after the step S770 is performed, the process returns to the step S710 for the transmitting and receiving unit 510 to receive the reference signal retransmitted from the mobile device 310 (not shown).

The frequency synchronization may be performed in way of the Doppler compensation and the frequency correction.
