Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The LTE network adopts the MIMO technology to increase the system capacity and improve the throughput rate. Fig. 1 shows a block diagram of a MIMO system with a single user as an example, where a transmitting end (e.g., a base station) and a receiving end (e.g., a terminal) both have multiple antennas. At the transmitting end, the input serial code stream is converted into several parallel independent sub-code streams through a series of pre-treatments (such as modulation, coding, weighting and mapping), and is transmitted out through different transmitting antennas. At the receiving end, the antenna group with no less than the number of the transmitting antennas is used for receiving, and the multi-channel receiving signals are processed in the space domain and the time domain by using a certain coding relation between the estimated channel transmission characteristic and the transmitting sub-code stream, so that a plurality of transmitting sub-code streams are separated and then converted into serial data for outputting.
However, due to the correlation of the channels in the channel matrix, the increase of the capacity causes the interference to be correspondingly increased, and in order to reduce the complexity of the terminal for eliminating the influence between the channels, reduce the system overhead, and maximally improve the system capacity of MIMO, a precoding technology is introduced in the prior art.
Fig. 2 shows a wireless network structure adopting a codebook-based precoding technique, which includes a base station 201, a terminal 202 and a wireless link 203. Terminal 202 and base station 201 each have multiple antennas. Terminal 202 and base station 201 are configured with the same set of precoding matrices (codebooks). After measuring the downlink channel and determining the precoding matrix, the terminal 202 feeds back CSI, which includes one or more of CQI indicating the quality of the wireless communication channel between the base station and the terminal, PMI indicating a preferred precoding matrix for shaping the transmission signal, RI indicating the number of useful transmission layers of the data channel preferred by the terminal, and estimation of channel coefficients, to the base station 201 through the wireless link 203. The fed back CSI enables the base station 201 to adaptively configure a suitable transmission scheme to improve coverage, or user data transmission rate, or more accurately predict channel quality for future transmissions to the terminal 202.
The embodiment of the invention provides a precoding method and a precoding device for open-loop MIMO transmission suitable for DMRS demodulation. In the embodiment of the invention, the base station can cyclically use the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set to precode the data of the terminal. The cyclic use of the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set means that, when the base station transmits data to the terminal, the base station uses the matrix in the precoding matrix set alternately in the time-frequency resource allocated to the terminal according to a certain rule.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a precoding process provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the process may include the following steps:
step 301: the base station determines a set of precoding matrices used by the terminal.
The set of precoding matrices may be predetermined or determined by the terminal. Determining the set of precoding matrices by the terminal means: and the base station determines a precoding matrix set used by the terminal according to the information fed back by the terminal. More specifically, the base station may determine a precoding matrix set used by the terminal according to the first PMI and the second PMI fed back by the terminal.
Step 302: and the base station determines the corresponding relation between the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set and the resource allocated to the terminal.
Optionally, the corresponding relationship may enable different resources to correspond to different precoding matrices as much as possible, for example, a precoding matrix cycle in the precoding matrix set corresponds to different resources allocated to the terminal, so that the base station may cyclically use the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set to precode the resources allocated to the terminal.
Step 303: and the base station uses the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set to precode the data of the terminal according to the corresponding relation.
Optionally, the precoding matrix in the set of precoding matrices may be divided into N subsets, where N is an integer greater than 1. In specific implementation, the subset division may be performed according to the characteristics of the precoding matrix. For example, the precoding matrix in the same subset is formed by a same group of beamforming vectors, and a group of beamforming vectors forming the precoding matrix in different subsets may be different or the same. Let the number of matrices in the first subset be M1The number of the matrixes in the second subset is M2And so on.
The Resource allocated to the terminal by the base station is in units of Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs), and each Resource Block includes a plurality of Resource Elements (REs). Accordingly, the cycle of the precoding matrix may be decomposed into a physical resource block level or further into an RE level.
In the example of cycling at the PRB level, the base station may cycle through subsets of a set of precoding matrices on the PRBs allocated to the terminal to precode data transmitted on different PRBs, where one PRB corresponds to one subset. The base station may select in the order of PRB numbers. For example, a PRB numbered 1 uses the (1mod N) +1 subset, and a PRB numbered m uses the (m mod N) +1 subset. That is, assuming that the PRBs are numbered in a certain order, for example, in a frequency order from low to high, the correspondence between the PRBs and the subsets follows the following rule:
n=(m mod N)+1,0<n<=N;
alternatively, the law may also be expressed as N ═ m mod N, 0< ═ N < N.
Where n denotes the number of the subset, and m denotes the number of the PRB allocated to the terminal. The number of the PRB may be a global number within a system bandwidth, a number within one subband, or a number of a PRB allocated to the terminal.
In the example of performing the cycling at the RE level, the base station determines a precoding matrix for one RE in one resource block allocated to the terminal in the subset corresponding to the resource block, so that the base station performs precoding on data transmitted on different REs in each PRB allocated to the terminal by cyclically using the precoding matrix in the subset corresponding to the PRB, wherein one RE corresponds to one precoding matrix. The base station may use the matrices in the subset in turn according to a certain rule. For example, the loop may be performed in a manner of Frequency domain first and time domain later, that is, the 1 st subcarrier of the l-th Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol uses the 1 st precoding matrix in the subset, and the k-th subcarrier uses the (k mod Mn) +1 precoding matrix in the subset, that is, the correspondence between the REs on one symbol and the precoding matrices conforms to the following rule:
q=(k mod Mn)+1,0<n<=N
alternatively, the law may also be expressed as q ═ k mod Mn),0<=n<N。
Where n denotes the number of the subset corresponding to the PRB in which the frequency domain of the RE is located, and M denotes the number of the subset corresponding to the PRB in which the frequency domain of the RE is locatednDenotes the number of precoding matrices in the subset numbered n, q denotes the number of precoding matrices in the subset numbered n, and k denotes the number of REs.
Alternatively, the base station may also select the precoding matrix according to the number of the data mapped to the RE, wherein each data of one transmission may be identified with a unique number. For example, if the number of data mapped to an RE is i, the (i mod Mn) +1 st precoding matrix can be selected for the RE. That is, the correspondence between REs and precoding matrices complies with the following rule:
p=(i mod Mn)+1,0<n<=N
alternatively, the law can also be expressed as: p ═ i mod Mn),0<=n<N。
Where n denotes the number of the subset corresponding to the PRB in which the frequency domain of the RE is located, and M denotes the number of the subset corresponding to the PRB in which the frequency domain of the RE is locatednDenotes the number of precoding matrices in the subset numbered n, p denotes the number of precoding matrices in the subset numbered n, and i denotes the number of data mapped to the RE.
In the above example, the PRB may be replaced by physical resources of other granularity sizes, which are collectively referred to as resource blocks herein. Different resource blocks may be different time-frequency resources, different frequency-domain resources, or different time-frequency resource combinations. Specifically, one resource block may be an RE, a subcarrier, a PRB, or a PRB set, and may also be an RE, a subcarrier, a PRB, or a PRB set for transmitting data symbols.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a method for determining the channel state information by using the precoding matrix by the terminal.
Referring to fig. 4, a schematic diagram of a channel state information determination process provided in the embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the process may include the following steps:
step 401: the terminal determines the set of precoding matrices to use.
The set of precoding matrices used by the terminal is predetermined or specified by the base station.
Step 402: and the terminal determines the corresponding relation between the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set and the resource corresponding to the channel state information.
Optionally, the correspondence may enable different resources to correspond to different precoding matrices as far as possible, for example, precoding matrix cycles in the precoding matrix set correspond to different resources, so that the terminal may cyclically use the precoding matrices in the precoding matrix set to perform channel state information calculation.
Step 403: and the terminal determines the channel state information by using the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set according to the corresponding relation. The channel state information may be CQI, RI, etc.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set may be divided into N subsets, where N is an integer greater than 1, and the specific division manner may be as described above.
The resource allocated to the terminal by the base station is in PRB unit, and each resource block comprises a plurality of REs. Accordingly, the cycle of the precoding matrix may be decomposed into PRB level or further into RE level.
In the example of cycling at the PRB level, the terminal may calculate the channel state information under the condition of cycling the subset on the PRBs corresponding to the channel state information, where one PRB corresponds to one subset. The terminal may select the PRBs in the order of their numbers, and the correspondence between the PRBs and the subsets may be as described in the foregoing embodiments.
In the example of performing the cycling on the RE level, the terminal determines a precoding matrix for one RE in one resource block corresponding to the channel state information in the subset corresponding to the resource block, so that the terminal calculates the channel state information under the condition that the terminal performs precoding by cyclically using the precoding matrix in the subset corresponding to the resource block in each resource block corresponding to the channel state information, wherein one RE corresponds to one precoding matrix. The terminal may use the matrices in the subset in turn according to a certain rule, and the correspondence between the REs and the precoding matrices may be as described in the foregoing embodiments.
In the above example, the PRB may be replaced by physical resources of other granularity sizes, which are collectively referred to as resource blocks herein. Different resource blocks may be different time-frequency resources, different frequency-domain resources, or different time-frequency resource combinations. Specifically, one resource block may be an RE, a subcarrier, a PRB, or a PRB set, and may also be an RE, a subcarrier, a PRB, or a PRB set for transmitting data symbols.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, after determining the used precoding matrix set, the terminal cyclically uses the precoding matrix in the precoding matrix set to determine the channel state information, thereby providing an open-loop MIMO transmission scheme suitable for DMRS demodulation.
The set of precoding matrices may also be referred to as a first codebook. The first codebook may be derived based on one vector of a set of vectors. The vector for obtaining the first codebook may be a vector agreed in advance by the terminal and the base station. Such as by specifying a vector in the protocol or a first codebook derived from specifying a vector. The vectors in the vector group may be Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) vectors or antenna array response vectors. For example, one vector of the set of vectors is denoted vm=[1 ej2πm/32 ej4πm/32 ej6πm/32]T. Wherein different m correspond to different vectors. The vector group comprises one or more vectors, and each vector is used for obtaining a subset in a first codebook. If multiple vectors are included in the vector set, different vectors may be used to derive different subsets.
In specific implementation, the precoding matrix in each subset in the first codebook may be obtained according to the vector in the appointed vector group and the phase factor in the phase set.
The phase set comprises one or more phase factors, and a precoding matrix in the first codebook is obtained based on one phase factor. If it is notThe phase set includes a plurality of phase factors, and then one vector in the vector group and different phase factors in the phase set can obtain different precoding matrices in the first codebook corresponding to the vector. In the examples of the present invention, use
A set of phases is represented, and,
representing a phase factor of 0 in the set of phases<=n<N, N is the number of phase factors in the phase set. The phases are collected into

Wherein n is an integer of 0<=n<N, N is the number of phase factors in the phase set. For example, N-0, 1, N-2,
or N is 0,1,2,3, N is 4,
and the like.
The following describes a configuration of the first codebook, taking an 8-antenna system as an example. The precoding matrix for an 8-antenna system can be represented as:
W=W1W2
wherein, W1Representing long-term, broadband information, W2Representing short-time, sub-band information. In particular, W1Can be expressed as:

W2It can be expressed as (here, rank 1 or rank 2 is taken as an example, and the method of other ranks is the same, and rank represents the number of transmission layers):

nEach element is 1, and the other elements are 0, and the beamforming vectors in X are selected; alpha is alpha
nIs a modulo-1 phase combining factor for performing phase combining between the two polarization directions. The distinction between precoding matrices may thus include: formed by different beamforming vectors or by different phase combining factors.
The precoding matrix may be identified by a first precoding matrix identifier (denoted as first PMI) and a second precoding matrix identifier (denoted as second PMI), the first PMI corresponding to W1The second PMI corresponds to W2. A set of precoding matrices may be determined based on a first PMI fed back by a terminal, the precoding matrices in the set being W indicated by the first PMI1And all possible W2And determining after multiplication. Here, a set of precoding matrices corresponding to the first PMI is defined as a first codebook. The precoding matrices formed by the same beamforming vectors in the first codebook form a subset, and the phase combining factors of the precoding matrices in the subset are different.
