Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for adjusting a frequency of a crystal oscillator, a storage medium, and an electronic device.

Background

In a wireless terminal, a crystal oscillator is generally used to generate an operation clock of a system, but the output frequency of the crystal oscillator has a certain frequency deviation due to the influence of environmental changes, thereby affecting the receiving performance of the system. For example, Frequency deviation may introduce Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) in an Orthogonal Frequency Division (OFDM) system, which may increase an error rate and reduce a throughput of the system, and thus may seriously affect the performance of the system. Therefore, the clock Frequency accuracy of the crystal oscillator output needs to be controlled within a certain range, and in general, all wireless terminals use an Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) technology to realize accurate Control of the crystal oscillator Frequency. In particular, the AFC technique precisely controls the output frequency of the crystal oscillator by mainly adjusting the bias voltage of the crystal oscillator. Because there are many factors that affect the accuracy of frequency offset estimation, such as the determination method of frequency offset estimation, the channel conditions (signal-to-noise ratio, multipath, and moving speed), how to adopt an appropriate AFC strategy under various frequency offset estimation conditions to achieve the optimal balance between the adjustment speed and the adjustment stability is a key problem faced by the wireless terminal.

Detailed Description

The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for frequency tuning of a crystal oscillator according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps.

In step 101, a current frequency offset estimate is obtained.

In the present disclosure, the method may be applied to an automatic frequency control system (i.e., AFC system). The current frequency offset estimation may be an estimated value of an instantaneous frequency offset obtained between the user terminal and the base station at the current time. Illustratively, the current frequency offset estimate may be obtained by a differential frequency offset estimation algorithm, a maximum likelihood estimation-based frequency offset estimation algorithm, a least squares-based frequency offset estimation algorithm, or the like. Since the specific way of obtaining the current frequency offset estimate is well known to those skilled in the art, it is not described in detail in this disclosure.

In addition, in order to reduce jitter of the current frequency offset estimation and ensure stationarity of the AFC system and the crystal oscillator signal, so as to improve system performance, after the current frequency offset estimation is obtained in step 101, smoothing processing may be performed on the current frequency offset estimation and a variance of the current frequency offset estimation, respectively. Specifically, the corresponding smoothing processing can be performed by the following step 102 and step 103.

In step 102, the current frequency offset estimation is smoothed to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimation.

In an embodiment, after obtaining the current frequency estimate, the current frequency offset estimate may be smoothed according to a last smoothed frequency offset estimate, where the AFC system may obtain the current frequency offset estimate according to a fixed period or in real time, and the last smoothed frequency offset estimate may be obtained by smoothing an instantaneous frequency offset estimate obtained last time.

Specifically, a corresponding first storage module may be provided in the AFC system to store the frequency offset estimate after the last smoothing; therefore, after the current frequency offset estimation is obtained each time, the frequency offset estimation after the last smoothing can be read by accessing the first storage module, and then the current frequency offset estimation can be smoothed according to the frequency offset estimation after the last smoothing.

For example, the current frequency offset estimate may be smoothed by the following equation (1), to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimate:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,

estimating the smoothed frequency offset;

estimating the current frequency offset;

estimate the frequency offset for the last smoothed frequency offset, and

k is the number of frequency offset estimates obtained from the preset historical moment to the current moment; alpha is a smoothing factor.

In this disclosure, the preset historical time may be a latest frequency offset adjustment time, may be earlier than the latest frequency offset adjustment time, and may be later than the latest frequency offset adjustment time, which is not specifically limited in this disclosure. The fixed period may be set by a user or may be a default, and is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

In another embodiment, the AFC system may perform smoothing on the current frequency offset estimate obtained in step 101 according to a plurality of frequency offset estimates (i.e., reference frequency offset estimates used for determining crystal frequency offset adjustment) obtained from a preset historical time to the current time.

Specifically, a corresponding second storage module may be provided in the AFC system, so that the AFC system may store the instantaneous frequency offset estimate at the current time in the second storage module after acquiring it each time. In this way, after the AFC system obtains the current frequency offset estimation, the AFC system can read the multiple frequency offset estimations obtained from the preset historical time to the current time by accessing the second storage module, and then obtain the smoothed frequency offset estimation by averaging the multiple frequency offset estimations, that is, the smoothing operation on the current frequency offset estimation is completed.

Illustratively, the current frequency offset estimate may be smoothed by the following equation (2) to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimate

Wherein the content of the first and second substances,

and estimating the ith frequency offset acquired from the preset historical moment to the current moment.

Returning to fig. 1, in step 103, the variance of the current frequency offset estimation is smoothed to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimation variance.

In one embodiment, after obtaining the current frequency offset estimate, the AFC system may first determine a variance of the current frequency offset estimate, and then perform smoothing on the variance of the current frequency offset estimate. Specifically, the AFC system may smooth the variance of the current frequency offset estimate according to the last smoothed frequency offset estimate variance, where the last smoothed frequency offset estimate variance is obtained by smoothing the variance of the last obtained frequency offset estimate. Moreover, a corresponding third storage module can be arranged in the AFC system to store the frequency offset estimation variance after the last smoothing; in this way, after the AFC system obtains the variance of the current frequency offset estimation each time, the last smoothed frequency offset estimation variance can be read by accessing the third storage module, and then the variance of the current frequency offset estimation can be smoothed according to the last smoothed frequency offset estimation variance.

Illustratively, the variance of the current frequency offset estimate can be smoothed by the following equation (3) to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimate variance:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,

estimating a variance for the smoothed frequency offset;

a variance of the current frequency offset estimate;the variance is estimated for the most recently smoothed frequency offset, wherein,

in another embodiment, after obtaining the current frequency offset estimate, the variance of multiple frequency offset estimates obtained from a preset historical time to the current time may be obtained first, and then, the variance of the current frequency offset estimate may be smoothed according to the variance of the multiple frequency offset estimates.

Specifically, a corresponding fourth storage module may be provided in the AFC system, so that the AFC system may store the variance of the instantaneous frequency offset estimate at the current time in the fourth storage module after acquiring it each time. In this way, after the AFC system obtains the current frequency offset estimation, the variance of the multiple frequency offset estimates obtained from the preset historical time to the current time can be read by accessing the fourth storage module, and then the smoothed frequency offset estimation variance is obtained by averaging the variances of the multiple frequency offset estimates, that is, the smoothing operation of the variance of the current frequency offset estimation is completed.

Illustratively, the variance of the current frequency offset estimate can be smoothed by the following equation (4) to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimate variance

Wherein the content of the first and second substances,the variance of the ith frequency offset estimation obtained from the preset historical moment to the current moment;

and estimating the ith smoothed frequency offset acquired from the preset historical moment to the current moment.

Returning to fig. 1, in step 104, a frequency offset adjustment amount is determined according to the smoothed frequency offset estimation and the smoothed frequency offset estimation variance.

After the smoothed frequency offset estimation is obtained in step 102 and the smoothed frequency offset estimation variance is obtained in step 103, a frequency offset adjustment amount for adjusting the output frequency of the crystal oscillator may be determined according to the two.

Illustratively, the above-described frequency offset adjustment amount may be determined by the following equations (5) and (6):

wherein f is_adjAdjusting the amount of the frequency offset; condA, condB, condC are conditions that affect the value of the frequency offset adjustment; gamma is a preset ratio threshold; Δ t is a time interval between the preset historical time and the current time; epsilon is a preset time interval threshold; η is a predetermined number threshold.

In the present disclosure, the condA, condB, condC may be boolean variables, and their values are as follows:

when the square of the smoothed frequency offset estimate and the variance of the smoothed frequency offset estimate are greater than a preset ratio threshold (i.e., when

Time), condA can be determined to be true; when the square of the smoothed frequency offset estimate and the variance of the smoothed frequency offset estimate are less than or equal to the preset ratio threshold (i.e., when

Time), condA may be determined to be false. When the time interval between the preset history time and the current time is greater than the preset time interval threshold (i.e., when Δ t)>Epsilon), indicating that the time span of the reference frequency offset estimation for determining the crystal oscillator frequency offset adjustment reaches the time requirement for frequency offset adjustment, and at the moment, determining that condB is true; when the time interval between the preset historical time and the current time is less than or equal to the preset time interval threshold (i.e., when Δ t is less than or equal to ∈), it is indicated that the time span of the reference frequency offset estimation for determining the crystal oscillator frequency offset adjustment does not meet the time requirement for performing the frequency offset adjustment, and at this time, it may be determined that condB is false. When the number of frequency offset estimates obtained from the preset historical time to the current time is greater than a preset number threshold (i.e., when k is greater than k)>Eta), indicating that the number of reference frequency offset estimations for determining the crystal oscillator frequency offset adjustment meets the number requirement for performing the frequency offset adjustment, and at this time, determining condC as true; when the number of the frequency deviation estimation obtained from the preset historical moment to the current moment is less than or equal to the preset valueWhen the number threshold is set (i.e., when k ≦ η), it indicates that the number of reference frequency offset estimates used for determining the crystal frequency offset adjustment does not reach the number requirement for performing the frequency offset adjustment, and at this time, condC may be determined to be false.

When condA, condB, condC are true simultaneously, i.e. when condA&&condB&&When condC is true, the frequency deviation adjustment amount f_adjIs the smoothed frequency offset estimate determined in step 102 above

At this time, the frequency offset adjustment may be performed on the crystal oscillator according to the frequency offset adjustment amount (i.e., the following step 105 is performed); otherwise, the frequency offset adjustment f_adjThe value of (a) is zero, and at the moment, frequency offset adjustment of the crystal oscillator is not needed.

In addition, the smoothing factor, the preset ratio threshold, the preset time interval threshold and the preset number threshold may be values set by a user, or may be default empirical values, and are not specifically limited in this disclosure. In one embodiment, the user may determine the preset number threshold according to the signal-to-noise ratio, which generally decreases with the increase of the signal-to-noise ratio, and in the narrowband Internet of Things (Narrow-Band Internet of Things, NB-IoT), the preset number threshold η may be determined according to the following equation (7):

where r is the signal-to-noise ratio.

In addition, the value range of the smoothing factor α may be (0, 1)]And, the smoothing factor α may be set by the user according to the actual situation, or may be default (for example,

) And is not particularly limited in this disclosure.

In the technical scheme, firstly, smoothing is carried out on the obtained current frequency offset estimation and the variance of the current frequency offset estimation so as to obtain a smoothed frequency offset estimation and a smoothed frequency offset estimation variance; and then, determining a frequency offset adjustment amount for adjusting the output frequency of the crystal oscillator according to the smoothed frequency offset estimation and the smoothed frequency offset estimation variance. Therefore, under different frequency offset estimation conditions, the frequency deviation of the crystal oscillator can be stably and effectively controlled in a smaller range, and the throughput rate and the performance of the system are improved.

Fig. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a method for frequency tuning of a crystal oscillator according to another exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the above method may further include the following steps.

In step 105, the frequency offset of the crystal oscillator is adjusted according to the frequency offset adjustment amount.

In this disclosure, after the frequency offset adjustment amount is obtained in step 104, the frequency offset adjustment amount may be converted into a bias voltage signal of a crystal oscillator, and the crystal oscillator is controlled to adjust an output frequency, thereby adjusting an operating clock of the AFC system.
