Background technology
Along with the fast development of mobile communication, the introducing of smart mobile phone, cloud computing, mobile video business scale are applied, and have driven the rapid growth of mobile Internet and high band wide data business, cause frequency spectrum resource day by day rare.In order to meet ever-increasing mobile subscriber business demand, need to research and develop next generation wireless communication technique construction Novel movable communication network.
In 4G LTE wireless communication standard, multi-antenna technology (MIMO) has become the standard configuration of base station.Recently, people have proposed extensive MIMO or Massive MIMO technology on MIMO basis, its tool has the following advantages: first, with respect to traditional method that miniature cell sizes improves power system capacity of passing through, extensive MIMO can increase power system capacity by the antenna number of direct increase base station; Secondly, extensive aerial array has increased antenna aperature, by relevant merging, can reduce the required transmitting power of uplink downlink, meets the requirement of green communications.Extensive MIMO is considered to towards the key technology of the 5th third-generation mobile communication (5G) network of the year two thousand twenty mobile communication application demand.
There are some researches show, in many communities multi-user's extensive mimo system, guaranteeing under the prerequisite of certain user communication quality, while thering is ideal communication channel state information, user's transmitting power and the antenna number of base station are inversely proportional to, and when channel condition information is undesirable, be inversely proportional to the square root of antenna for base station number.And, utilizing channel reciprocity, the number of users of the expense Jin Yumei community of channel training is relevant, and irrelevant with antenna for base station number.Therefore,, when antenna for base station number tends to infinite, can't increase the feedback overhead of system.Compare with traditional MIMO, the main difference part of extensive MIMO is the increase along with antenna for base station number, and Noise and Interference can be by average, therefore can increase power system capacity.
At macrocell, can adopt extensive MIMO base station to support mobile subscriber.But the fringe region covering at macrocell, due to weak output signal and interference, service quality is difficult to guarantee, and the indoor covering that can not provide of traditional macrocellular network.Technology provides fast, network capacity extension scheme cheaply in Microcell (Small Cell), can put region, suburb and blind spot for Urban Thermal special-purpose covering and capacity is provided.The micro-base station of Small Cell is effectively supplementing of macrocell in capacity and covering, is the Main Means that layered heterogeneous network is disposed, and can effectively build cubic network, the traffic carrying capacity of shunting absorption macro base station.The typical case that Small Cell disposes is as the micro-base station of Light Radio of Bell Laboratory invention, and it saves every Bit data transmission cost of 50% when increasing the network capacity of equivalent compared with legacy network.
Advantage separately based on extensive MIMO and Small Cell, for the cubic network being combined with macrocellular by the micro-base station of Small Cell, use for reference cloud computing theory simultaneously and partly introduce cloud computing structure cloud base station at base station baseband, be to lead follow-on brand-new beehive net scheme, can realize sharing with dynamic assignment and promoting network efficiency of wireless network resource.
In the cubic network being built by extensive MIMO and Small Cell, exist grand in dissimilar presence of intercell interference, particularly down link, micro-base station simultaneously during transmitted signal, the interference of macro base station transmitted signal to Microcell user.While carrying out wave beam forming in order to eliminate presence of intercell interference, need know that macro base station is to the channel condition information of Microcell user link.In cloud wireless access system, have the small cell of a greater number, need large-scale cell-to-cell information interaction, this is difficult to realize in real system.
