Abstract:

Aiming at the characteristics of NB-IoT such as low power consumption,low cost and low sampling rate,an NB-IoT delay estimation algorithm based on inter-cell interference cancellation was proposed.To gradually eliminate the interaction between signals in each cell,an inter-cell iterative interference cancellation algorithm was considered.In each iteration,the idea of time-frequency cross-correlation overlapping was introduced on the basis of traditional correlation algorithms to break through the limitations of the sampling rate and further improve the accuracy of time delay estimation.At the same time,a first-arrival-path (FAP) searching algorithm based on noise threshold was used to suppress multipath effects.Through experimental simulation,the results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the time delay estimation accuracy of NB-IoT on the basis of related algorithms.

Key words: NB-IoT, time delay estimation, inter-cell interference cancellation, first arrival path searching
