Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to communications systems and more particularly to a mechanism of selecting spreading sequences with variable spreading factors. The present application is based on, and claims priority from an Indian Application Number 4895/CHE/2013 filed on 30 Oct., 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.


BACKGROUND ART

Communications systems depend on various protocols for transmitting signals from a transmitter to a receiver. Some protocols reflect physical layer of communications. When signals are transmitted on the physical layer, spreading sequences may be used to overcome noise that may exist on the signal. Specifically, each bit in the signal is encoded with a predefined series of bits. The number of bits in the series is specified by a spreading factor. For example, a zero (0) may be encoded with a predefined series of bits having a length defined by the spreading factor. Conversely, a one (1) may be encoded with a different predefined series of bits having a length defined by the spreading factor.


It is desired to generate spreading sequences that is useful for energy efficient ultra-low power communication. Non-coherent communication is preferred for the ultra-low power communication over short ranges. To enable ultra-low power communications, the spreading sequences play a vital role that is used as preambles and for spreading the data. The properties of the spreading sequences impact the energy efficiency of the overall communication system. Also for interoperability and adherence to spectral mask constraints in unlicensed bands; it is attractive that the sequences also be usable in coherent mode communications.


The above information is presented as background information only to help the reader to understand the present invention. Applicants have made no determination and make no assertion as to whether any of the above might be applicable as Prior Art with regard to the present application.

Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. Also, the various embodiments described herein are not necessarily mutually exclusive, as some embodiments can be combined with one or more other embodiments to form new embodiments. The term “or” as used herein, refers to a non-exclusive or, unless otherwise indicated.

Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.


The embodiments herein achieve a method and system for selecting non-coherent spreading sequences with binary alphabets {0, 1} with variable spreading factors. Further, the proposed method adapts non-coherent preamble and spreading sequences for coherent mode of operation.


Due to different complexity limitations in coherent and non-coherent receivers, these preamble sequences are designed to provide different periods for coherent and non-coherent receivers in the transmission of a common sequence. That is, the preamble for coherent receiver is designed based on the repetitive extension of the preamble for non-coherent receiver.


Referring now to the drawings and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 19 where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown preferred embodiments.



FIG. 1a illustrates a functional block diagram of a transmitter 100a, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. As shown in the FIG. 1a, the transmitter 100a comprises a memory unit 102a, a voltage converter 104, an electromagnetic signal generator 106 and an antenna 108a. The transmitter 100a is configured to use electromagnetic signals.


In an embodiment, a control signal with two states is provided as an input to the memory unit. In one state, no action is performed. In another state, the contents of pre-defined memory units are serially input to a digital to analog voltage convertor (not shown). The pre-defined memory units to be selected are input to the memory unit from a memory unit selector block (not shown).


In an embodiment, the memory unit 102a is configured to store a ternary sequence {1, 0, −1}. In an embodiment, the memory unit 102a further includes memory registers and each register stores one element of the ternary sequence.


The voltage converter 104 is configured to receive an input as the element of the ternary sequence from the memory unit 102a and generate time series of voltages based on the element received from the memory unit 102a. In an embodiment, the voltage converter 104 is a digital to analog voltage convertor. The time series of voltages comprises ‘+V’ volts for a ‘+1’ as the input received from the memory unit 102a. The time series of voltages further comprises ‘−V’ volts for a ‘−1’ as the input received from the memory unit 102a, and ‘0’ volts for a ‘0’ as the input received from the memory unit 102a. Further the electromagnetic signal generator 106 accepts the time series of voltages and is configured along with a transmitting antenna to generate electromagnetic signals corresponding to the time series of voltages and send the electromagnetic signals corresponding to the time series of voltages to the wireless medium using the antenna 108a.



FIG. 1b illustrates a functional block diagram of a receiver 100b, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. The receiver 100b comprises an antenna 108b, a converting unit 110 and a memory unit 102b. The antenna 108b receives the transmitted electromagnetic signals transmitted over the air from the transmitter 100a. Further the converting unit 110 is configured to convert the electromagnetic signals into the time series of voltages. This time series of voltages can then be converted back to the sequences stored in the memory unit 102b in the receiver 100b. Due to different complexity limitations in coherent and non-coherent receivers, the preamble sequences are designed to provide different periods for coherent and non-coherent receivers in the transmission of a common sequence. That is, the preamble for coherent receiver is designed based on the repetitive extension of the preamble for non-coherent receiver.


Spreading sequences for variable spreading factor are defined as C={cm|mεcustom-characterSF}, the spreading factor is denoted as mεcustom-characterSF={2, 4, 8, 16, . . . }, and cm is the spreading sequence for spreading factor m. If the preamble symbol length is M, then preamble sequences become 1Mcustom-charactercm where 1m all one vector of length is m and custom-character is the Kronecker product operation. This means that M repetitions of sequence cm having length m.


W={wmcustom-character1N/mcustom-charactercm|mεcustom-characterSF} is the codebook for variable spreading factor where N is the correlator size. wm is a sequence with

repetitions of sequence cm. Note that wm=[w1 w2 . . . wN] is the code-word for spreading factor m where ∀l, wlε{0,1}, vm=[v1 v2 . . . vN] is the correlation sequence where ∀l, vlcustom-character2wl−1ε{−1, 1} and yn=[yn yn+1 . . . yn+N−1] is the input sequence. The correlation output for spreading factor is given as, in an example mode, the correlator size is chosen to be the highest spreading factor among the variable spreading factors.

respectively, where custom-character0: Packet is not transmitted, custom-character1: Packet is transmitted and γpd is the threshold for packet detection. The spreading factor estimate is the index ‘m’ associated with the maximum value of the computations Σwm as m is varied from {2, 4, 8, . . . }. In order to enhance the preamble performance, the orthogonal sequence design based on the circular shift equivalent set for variable spreading factor is required. Circular shift equivalent set is defined as follows:






custom-character(cm)={cm[l]|cm[0]=cm,cm[l]=[cm-l+1 . . . cmc1c2 . . . cm-l] for 0<l<m} with cm=[c1c2 . . . cm].


The above set is obtained by first selecting a sequence cm and then circularly shifting it by one position to obtain another sequence in the set. The next sequence is obtained by shifting the newly obtained sequence by another one position in the same direction as the earlier shift was carried out. This procedure is repeated so on and so forth to obtain all the sequences in the set. The shifting by one position is done to the extent just before cm appears once more. The elements so formed are the members of the set.


The proposed method includes generating circular shift equivalent sets of spreading sequences by circularly shifting base sequences with elements {1, 0} and having at least one variable spreading factor.


In an embodiment, the binary sequence meets a pre-defined spreading sequence criteria comprises a balanced criteria, a non-repetition criteria, a non-circular criteria, and a conjugate criteria. The details of each criteria are given below:


Balanced criteria: The number of zeros in the sequence is equal to the number of non-zeros/ones in the sequence for the length of the spreading factor.


Non-repetition criteria: Prevent ambiguity on the consecutive 1's or 0's. For a sequence with a spreading factor ‘m’ the sequence cannot be further divided into two identical halves.





{cm=[cm/2,1cm/2,2]|cm/2,1≠cm/2,2}


Non-circular criteria: Prevent ambiguity on the nested code-words. Once sequence in a sequence set cannot be fully comprised of the periodic repetition of the other.





{cm|cm≠[1m/ncustom-charactercn]custom-characterl, 0≦l<m, m=2t, n=2s, t>s}


Conjugate criteria: For a binary sequence with a spreading factor ‘m’, the two identical halves are complementary to each other.





{cm=[cm/2,1cm/2,2]|cm/2,2={tilde over (c)}m/2,1}


Based on the above criteria, the proposed method creates finite number of circular shift equivalent set as listed in the table-1 below:

At step 204, the method 200 includes determining whether each spreading sequence in the circular shift equivalent set meets the pre-defined spreading sequence criteria such as the balanced criteria, the non-repetition criteria, the non-circular criteria, and the conjugate criteria. If it is determined at step 204, that each spreading sequence in the circular shift equivalent set does not meets the pre-defined spreading sequence criteria, then the method 200 includes generating circular shift equivalent sets of spreading sequences as mentioned in step 202.


If it is determined at step 204, that each spreading sequence meets the pre-defined spreading sequence criteria, then at step 206, the method 200 includes obtaining a variable spreading factor sequence by selecting one of a sequence from the circular shift equivalent set associated with a particular spreading factor. Among the circular equivalent sets for variable spreading factors, the proposed method creates a hierarchical codebook structure by combining different code word from each spreading factor.


In an embodiment, the method proposed two kinds of orthogonal expansion of preamble sequences.






c
m=[1m/4custom-characterc21m/4custom-character{tilde over (c)}2] for mcustom-character2t and t≧2.  Orthogonal Expansion 1:


c2=[1 0], c4=[1 0 0 1], c8=[1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1], c16=[1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1]


At step 208, the method 200 includes forming a set of sequences from the sequence based on orthogonal expansion-1. The larger length sequences in the set are constructed by repeating the lowest spreading factor sequence for one half of the length of the larger sequence and a conjugate of the first half for the other half of the sequence.


In an example, the sequences can be of length {2, 4, 8, 16} etc. Once the sequences of lengths {2, 4, 8, 16} are obtained they can be repeated a number of times as shown in Table-21 below.

At step 208, the method 200 includes obtaining the variable, spreading factor sequences by forming a set of sequences based on orthogonal expansion-2. The sequence of a particular length is constructed by concatenation of a preceding sequence and its complement. The preceding sequence is an element of its corresponding shift equivalent set.

Table-22 above shows orthogonal expansion-2 where a sequence is constructed from its preceding sequence and it's conjugate for variable spreading factor sequences. The sequences may be periodically repeated for generation of the synchronization preamble. Note that conjugated sequence is defined as {tilde over (c)}m=cm⊕1m where ⊕ the binary exclusive or (XOR) operation.


As shown in the table-22 above, the sequences are typically of length {2, 4, 8, 16}. The larger spreading factor length sequence is of length 16. A sequence of a particular length is obtained by the concatenation of preceding sequence and its complement. For example the sequence c16 is formed by the concatenation of c8 the complement of c8. Similarly c8 is constructed by the concatenation of c4 and the complement of c4. Similarly c4 is the concatenation of c2 and the complement of c2.


At step 210, the method 200 includes selecting said spreading sequence from orthogonal expansion-1 and/or orthogonal expansion-2.


The various actions, acts, blocks, steps, and the like in method 200 may be performed in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments, some actions, acts, blocks, steps, and the like may be omitted, added, modified, skipped, and the like without departing from the scope of the invention.


In an embodiment, the proposed method adapts non-coherent preamble and spreading sequences for coherent mode of operation. Due to different complexity limitations in coherent and non-coherent receivers, these preamble sequences are designed to provide different periods for coherent and non-coherent receivers in the transmission of a common sequence. That is, the preamble for coherent receiver is designed based on the repetitive extension of the preamble for non-coherent receiver.

Above Table-23 shows exemplary variable spreading factor sequences for m=2, 4, 8, 16 and their number of repetitions. These are labeled as OOK-2, OOK-4, OOK-8 and OOK-16 respectively. Alternatively these are labeled as ½-OOK, ¼-OOK, ⅛-OOK and 1/16-OOK respectively. In an embodiment, the above Table-23 summarizes the description of the non-coherent sequences. There can be plurality of repetitions of the basic sequence which correspondingly changes the length of the sequence and also the number of is in the sequence.


In order to generate a ternary sequence out of the above non-coherent sequences with good correlation properties, the sequence should be the same in the non-coherent mode. After applying an envelope detector on the ternary sequence at the receiver, the resulting sequence should be the corresponding non-coherent sequence. In the coherent mode, the is in the non-coherent sequences can take values {1 or −1}. However the positions of the zeros remain unchanged.


The proposed method obtains ternary sequences from the non-coherent sequences such that:

    • The alphabets to be used are {-1, 0, 1}
    • The positions of the zeros are fixed depending on the non-coherent sequences in Table 1.
    • The ones in the non-coherent sequences can take on values {-1, 1}
    • Under the above constraints, the ternary sequences for all the modes namely OOK-2, OOK-4, OOK-8 and OOK-16 are required to have good correlation properties


Further, the proposed method achieves good procession gain by considering long length over which the correlation is carried out. However the proposed method also considers that the length should not be too long which will overshoot memory requirements which are critical in low power communications. In an embodiment, the proposed method considers lengths as 16, 32 and 64. The procedure adopted for the 16 length and 32 length preambles are the same (refer FIG. 3). Although the same procedure may be adopted for the 64 length correlation, the procedure adopted for the 64 length case is different as the search space is too large and hence coming out with the sequence is time consuming. Also, the method adopted for the 64 length sequence can be adopted for other lengths.



FIG. 3 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 300 for selecting an N length ternary sequence with elements {1, 0, −1} from a spreading sequence of length N=16 and N=32 with elements {1 0} in coherent mode, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the length over which the correlation is computed decides the period of the ternary sequence. A plurality of such periods may be employed for the above ternary sequence to improve the synchronization performance.


At step 302, the method 300 includes generating all combinations of binary sequences with at least one of alphabets {+1, −1} for a selected spreading sequence with half the variable spreading factor of length N i.e. N/2. In an embodiment, the selected spreading sequence has alphabets {1, 0}.


At step 304, the method 300 includes generating 2N/2 combinations of ternary sequences of length N with at least one of alphabets {+1, 0, −1} for the selected spreading sequence of length N.


Let such sequences be represented as

At step 306, the method 300 includes selecting a set of sequences with minimum sum of squares of cyclic correlations of all combinations of the ternary sequence.






Z=min{Si}


The number of such sequences is typically very less compared to 2N/2. For example for N=32, the number of such sequences are typically lesser than 216/50.


At step 308, the method 300 includes computing a probability of correct detection over a range of Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values for the set of sequences with minimum sum of squares of the cyclic correlations. For these reduced set of sequences Z, computing the probability of correct detection over a range of SNR values. In an embodiment, the SNR range is chosen such that the probability of correct detection varies from 0.1 to the lowest SNR at which the probability of correct detection is 1.


To obtain the range of SNR values any one of the sequences in the set Z is used. The probability of correct detection is computed for various SNRs. The SNR range at which the probability of correct detection varies from 0.1 to 1 is observed. This SNR range is set as the SNR range over which the probability of correct detection is to be computed. The probability of correct detection for all the sequences in Z is computed over this SNR range.


In an embodiment, the probability of correct detection is computed by the method described herein.


The ternary sequence preamble is appended to the data payload of 20 bytes to form the packet. A random integer offsets is added to the packet. Then the packet is passed through an additive white Gaussian noise channel. The received signal is then correlated with the same ternary sequence preamble.

Here σa and σy are the standard deviations of the sequence and the received signal respectively. The above correlation is compared to a pre-defined threshold and the packet is said to be detected if the correlation Ray(τ) exceeds this threshold. The packet is said to be detected correctly if the detection occurs at the correct index. Repeated such trials are carried out with various packets and various random offsets and the average probability of correct detection is calculated. This is performed for the range of SNRs.


At step 310, the method 300 includes selecting a ternary sequence for which the probability of correct detection is maximum as ternary synchronization preamble. In an embodiment, for each sequence in Z, the sum of the probabilities of correct detection over the said SNR range is computed. The sequence, for which the sum of the probabilities of correct detection is maximum, is chosen as the ternary synchronization preamble.


The various actions, acts, blocks, steps, and the like in method 300 may be performed in the order presented, in a different order or simultaneously. Further, in some embodiments, some actions, acts, blocks, steps, and the like may be omitted, added, modified, skipped, and the like without departing from the scope of the invention.


In an embodiment, the method 300 can be used for arbitrary lengths of N. As N increases, the search space for the sequences increases exponentially. Exemplary codes when the length for correlation, i.e. N=32 and N=16 are given in Tables 24 and 25 below respectively. The synchronization preamble sequences can use a plurality of such ternary sequences to improve performance

FIG. 10 is a flow diagram illustrating a method 1000 for selecting an N length ternary sequence with elements {1, 0, −1} from a spreading sequence of length N=64 with elements {1, 0}, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. Although the search procedure mentioned for N=16 and N=32 may be employed for N=64 (the length over which the auto-correlation is performed), the search space is very high. The sequence that maximizes the probability of correct detection needs to be searched from typically around (232/50≈8.5e7) sequences. Thus, the search space is very large. Hence the method proposes a separate search procedure for N=64.


It is known that good correlation properties are obtained by providing an imbalance to the ternary sequences. That is the number of 1s (np) in the sequence exceeds the number of −1s (nm) or vice-versa. The admissible values for the number of 1s and −1s (np, nm) in ternary sequences with perfect periodic correlation are (3, 1), (6, 3), (10, 6), (15, 10), (21, 15).


Although it is impossible to directly adopt this result to arrive at the ternary sequences from the binary sequences, the proposed method uses this as a guideline to define masking functions to be element wise multiplied on balanced ternary sequences to obtain reduced side (out of phase) correlations.


In an embodiment, the method 1000 can be generalized to arbitrary length ternary sequences. The method 1000 is in general applicable to adapt any given binary sequence with binary alphabets {0, 1} to a ternary sequence with alphabets {1, −1, 0}. The 64 length ternary sequences are with 32 zeros and a total of 32, +1s and −1s. Hence, the method 1000 explains a procedure to obtain sequences with an imbalance in the number of +1s and −1s approximately around the (21, 15) case. That is the numbers of 1s exceed the number of −1s approximately by 6. This forms a guideline.


At step 1002, the method 1000 includes generating a ternary sequence with elements {1, 0, −1} of length N from a spreading sequence with elements {1, 0} of length N. The non-coherent sequence with alphabets {1,0} of a particular length is provided. This is to be adapted into a ternary sequence with values {1, 0, −1} such that when an absolute value of the ternary sequence is taken, the original binary sequence is obtained back.


At step 1004, the method 1000 includes generating a pseudo-noise (PN) sequence with elements {1,−1} of length N/2−1, wherein the PN sequence is appended with a ‘−1’ to obtain balanced binary sequences with N/4+1s and N/4-1s.


In an embodiment, the method 1000 generates a 31 length PN sequence. This sequence has np=16, (+1s) and nm=15, (−1s). First a 32 length balanced sequence is generated by appending a −1 at the end.


Let the 32 length sequence is represented as Bn={b0, b1, . . . bN/2-1} where Bn={1 −1 −1 −1 −1 1 −1 1 −1 1 1 1 −1 1 1 −1 −1 −1 1 1 1 1 1 −1 −1 1 −1 1 −1 −1 −1}.


At step 1006, the method 1000 includes creating a benchmark ternary sequence by substituting the balanced binary sequence at positions of ones in the spreading sequence with elements {1, 0}. In an embodiment, the 32 length sequences with alphabets {+1, −1} are substituted in the positions of the is in the sequences OOK-2, OOK-4, OOK-8 and OOK-16 to create the benchmark ternary sequence. It is observed that the maximum side correlations for the sequences are 8 and the peak correlation is +32. So sequences which reduce the side correlations below 8 are attractive.


At step 1008, the method 1000 includes creating unbalanced binary sequences from balanced binary sequences using at least one masking function. In an embodiment, the masking function operators are used on the PN sequences to obtain side correlations below 8 in the 64 length ternary sequences. Masking functions are defined to create an imbalance in the number of +1s and −1s in the 32 length sequences which has an equal number of +1s and −1s.


When the masking function Mi is element wise multiplied ‘·*’ with the 32 length sequence like Bn as in step 1002, the method obtains another sequence C with an imbalance in the number of +1s and −1s.

It is observed from the investigations that perfect ternary sequences of a particular length, if they exist, have their weight (number of non-zero elements) which is nearly half their length.


Hence, for 64 length sequences it is important to consider ternary sequences having weight 32. However, the closest admissible value of the weight for ternary sequences around weight 32 is 36 with a balance of (+1,−1) as (21, 15). A corresponding value for 32 length is (19, 13).


At step 1010, the method 1000 includes creating unbalanced ternary sequences from the unbalanced binary sequences by substituting the unbalanced binary sequences with alphabets {+1, −1s} in positions of ones in the selected N length binary spreading sequence with elements {1, 0} and computing all cyclic auto-correlation values of sequence at all lags.


In an embodiment, masking creates the imbalance between (+1,−1) around the values (19,13). The proposed method does not deviate too much from the (19,13) case since it is not required to significantly change the mean value of the sequence from 0.


In an embodiment, an exhaustive search is carried out for all combinations of sequences with the number of (+1,−1) ranging from (20, 12), (19,13) and (18,14) by defining corresponding masking functions and multiplying them with the base sequence Bn. Hence Bn is element wise multiplied with various masking functions Mi such that all possible sequences Ci are generated with the number of (+1,−1) being (20,12). Similarly Bn is element wise multiplied with various masking functions Mi such that all possible sequences Ci are generated with the number of (+1,−1) being (19, 13). Also Bn is element wise multiplied with various masking functions Mi such that all possible sequences Ci are generated with the number of (+1,−1) being (18, 14). Hence, all possible sequences Ci are generated which have the unequal number of (+1,−1) as decided a-priori based on step 1006.


At step 1012, the method 1000 includes selecting all ternary sequences from the unbalanced ternary sequences whose maximum out of phase cyclic auto-correlations are lesser that maximum out of phase cyclic autocorrelations of the benchmark ternary sequence as candidate ternary spreading sequences.


In an embodiment, all the 32 length sequences are used to form 64 length sequences by replacing the 32+1s in the 64 length sequence in step 1002 with the 32 length sequences having +1 and −1 generated in step 1008. These sequences are represented as Di with elements di.


The cyclic correlation of all the sequences di generated in step 1012 is computed.

At step 1014, the method 1000 includes selecting at least one ternary sequence with a probability of correct detection performance satisfying constraints as the candidate ternary sequences for synchronization preamble sequences. In an embodiment, the ternary sequences which have maximum value of side correlations below a value of 8 are the candidate ternary sequences.


In an example, the ternary sequences for the binary sequences in Table-23 are given in Table-26 below.
