Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a network structure applicable to the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the network structure includes a terminal 11 and a network-side Device 12, where the terminal 11 may be a terminal-side Device such as a Mobile phone, a Tablet Personal Computer (Tablet Personal Computer), a Laptop Computer (Laptop Computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), or a Wearable Device (Wearable Device), and it should be noted that a specific type of the terminal 11 is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention, and the terminal may also be understood as a User Equipment (UE). The terminal 11 may establish communication with the network-side device 12, where the network in the drawing may indicate that the terminal 11 establishes communication with the network-side device 12 wirelessly, and the network-side device 12 may be an evolved Node B (eNB) or another base station, or may be a network-side device such as an access point device, and it should be noted that a specific type of the network-side device 12 is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a DMRS sequence determination method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, including the following steps:
201. a terminal acquires a DMRS sequence receiving parameter associated with the terminal;
202. and the terminal acquires the DMRS sequence corresponding to the DMRS sequence receiving parameter sent by the network side equipment.
The DMRS sequence receiving parameter associated with the terminal may be a DMRS sequence receiving parameter associated with an identifier (e.g., UEID) of the terminal, or may be a DMRS sequence receiving parameter configured in advance for the terminal by the network side device. The DMRS sequence reception parameter may be a parameter used for the terminal to receive a DMRS sequence used for demodulation, and may be, for example: initialization parameters for DMRS sequences, OCC sequences, identities of OCC sequences, and/or parameters for REGs, among others. The DMRS sequence receiving parameter may be pre-stored, that is, obtained locally in step 201, or the DMRS sequence receiving parameter may be generated temporarily by the terminal, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
After the terminal acquires the DMRS sequence receiving parameters, the terminal may acquire a corresponding DMRS sequence from the DMRS sequence transmitted by the network side device, that is, acquire the DMRS sequence used by the terminal for demodulation. Then, the terminal may demodulate a signal of the downlink control channel using the DMRS sequence.
It should be noted that the terminal may be any terminal in a communication system, that is, each terminal may acquire the DMRS sequence used for self-demodulation by using the method, and each terminal may accurately acquire the DMRS sequence used for self-demodulation.
Optionally, the DMRS receiving parameters include DMRS initialization parameters, and the obtaining, by the terminal, a DMRS sequence corresponding to the DMRS sequence receiving parameters sent by the network side device includes:
and the terminal generates a DMRS prediction sequence by using the initialization parameter, and selects a DMRS sequence matched with the DMRS prediction sequence from the DMRS sequences transmitted by the network side equipment.
The initialization parameter associated with the terminal may be an initialization parameter associated with the identifier of the terminal, or the initialization parameter associated with the terminal may be an initialization parameter negotiated by the terminal and the network side device in advance, or configured by the network side device for the terminal in advance.
The selection of the DMRS sequence matched with the DMRS prediction sequence may be that the terminal generates an estimated DMRS sequence by using the correspondence between the initialization parameter and the DMRS sequence acquired in advance, and selects a DMRS with the highest matching degree or the same matching degree from the DMRS sequences transmitted by the network side device. For example: for MU-MIMO transmission, a DMRS sequence that matches the DMRS prediction sequence may be selected from among a plurality of DMRS sequences transmitted by a network device, and the selected DMRS sequence may be used as a DMRS sequence used by the terminal to demodulate the downlink control channel. In this embodiment, the terminal can acquire the DMRS sequence for demodulating the downlink control channel by using the initialization parameter associated with the terminal, so that when the DMRS sequences of multiple terminals are transmitted by the network side device, each terminal can select the DMRS sequence for demodulating the downlink control channel by itself, because each terminal selects the DMRS sequence matched with the prediction sequence generated by itself.
In addition, it should be noted that the network side device may generate DMRS sequences of multiple terminals, and the DMRS sequence of each terminal is generated by using the associated initialization parameter, so that the DMRS sequence of each terminal generated by the network side device and the associated initialization parameter may be guaranteed, where the DMRS sequence may be generated according to a correspondence between the initialization parameter and the DMRS sequence, or the DMRS sequence may be obtained by performing a preset operation on the initialization parameter, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. For example: and generating the DMRS sequence of the terminal A by using the initialization parameter associated with the terminal A, and generating the DMRS sequence of the terminal B by using the initialization parameter associated with the terminal B, so that the terminal A and the terminal B can accurately acquire the DMRS sequence used by the self-demodulation downlink control channel. The DMRS sequence may be generated according to a correspondence between the initialization parameter and the DMRS sequence, or may be obtained by performing a preset operation on the initialization parameter, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
For example: one REG consists of 12 consecutive subcarriers on one OFDM symbol, and each REG includes 4 Resource Elements (REs) REs of one antenna port (antenna port). When multiple terminals perform MU-MIMO transmission, DMRSs of different terminals are transmitted on the same port. When generating the DMRS sequence corresponding to each terminal, the network side device may scramble the DMRS sequences using the UE ID of the terminal, so that the DMRS sequences of different terminals are quasi-orthogonal to each other. When receiving the downlink control channel, the terminal can acquire the DMRS sequence related to itself according to its UE ID. Suppose two terminal pairs (pair) are together performing MU-MIMO transmission, with UE ID1 and UE ID2 for both. When the base station generates the DMRSs of the UE1 and the UE2, the base station scrambles the DMRS sequences by using the UE IDs of the UE1 and the UE2, as follows:
initialization parameters associated with the UE 1:
initialization parameters associated with the UE 1:
wherein n isIDID, n indicating a network-side devicesIndicating slot number, IDue2Is ID, ID of UE2ue1Is the ID of the UE 1.
Thus UE1 and UE2 are at the same nIDReceiving DMRS on the antenna port (antenna port) and distinguishing DMRS sequences according to the difference of the initial values of the two to obtain the DMRS sequences used by the respective demodulation downlink control channels
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, no limitation is made on the type of the DMRS sequence, and the DMRS sequence may be generated by a base sequence of another type, which is not limited to the embodiment of the present invention.
Optionally, the DMRS receiving parameter includes an OCC sequence, and the obtaining, by the terminal, a DMRS sequence corresponding to the DMRS sequence receiving parameter sent by the network side device includes:
and the terminal descrambles the scrambled signal sent by the network side equipment by using the OCC sequence associated with the terminal to obtain a descrambled DMRS sequence.
In this embodiment, the terminal may descramble the scrambled signal sent by the network side device by using the associated OOC sequence to obtain a DMRS sequence after descrambling, that is, the DMRS sequence that is successfully descrambled is the DMRS sequence used by the terminal to demodulate the downlink control channel. Therefore, each terminal can descramble the scrambled signal sent by the network side equipment by using the OCC sequence associated with the terminal to obtain the DMRS sequence used by the terminal to demodulate the downlink control channel. For example: the network side device may scramble DMRS sequences of multiple terminals using different OCC sequences, and transmit the scrambled DMRS sequences. For example: the network side equipment scrambles respective DMRS sequences by using the OCC sequence associated with each terminal, and sends the scrambled DMRS sequences, for example, the terminal A associated OCC sequence is used for scrambling the DMRS sequence of the terminal A, so that the DMRS sequence can only be descrambled by the terminal A; and scrambling the DMRS sequence of the terminal B by using the OCC sequence associated with the terminal B, so that the DMRS sequence can only be descrambled by the terminal B.
Optionally, the OCC sequence associated with the terminal includes:
and the OCC sequence associated with the identifier of the terminal or the OCC sequence pre-configured for the terminal by the network side equipment.
The OCC sequence associated with the identifier of the terminal may be implicitly determined according to the UE id, for example, the OCC corresponding to the terminal is determined by a formula mod (UE id, N). For example, a total of N ═ 4 OCC sequences, each numbered { OCC0OCC1OCC2OCC3 }. The terminal determines the corresponding OCC number by mod (UE id, 4). For example, if UE id is 13, the corresponding OCC is numbered 1, i.e., OCC 1. The OCC sequence pre-configured for the terminal by the network side device may be configured through a high-level signaling, for example: the embodiment of the present invention is not limited by RCC signaling or UE-specific signaling.
Optionally, when the network side device scrambles the DMRS sequences, the DMRS sequences of the terminal may be scrambled in units of REG groups, where each REG group includes at least one REG, and for MU-MIMO transmission, the DMRS sequences of the multiple terminals may be scrambled in units of REG groups.
In addition, the order of scrambling within one REG group may be time domain first and frequency domain second or frequency domain first and time domain second. Therefore, the flexibility of the system can be improved to meet the requirements of various services. And when the network side device scrambles the DMRS sequences, the network side device may scramble the DMRS sequences of the multiple terminals in a time domain, a frequency domain, or a time-frequency domain. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the OCC may be applied to a time domain, a frequency domain, or a time-frequency domain. For example: each REG is assumed to consist of 12 consecutive subcarriers on one OFDM symbol, and each REG contains 4 DMRS REs, where the 4 DMRS REs are REs of one antenna port. As shown in fig. 3, OCCs (1 or more REGs) may be superimposed on each frequency domain, or superimposed on the time domain, where fig. 3 exemplifies two REGs consecutive in the time domain; or, the OCC is superimposed on the time domain and the frequency domain, where here, the OCC may be a time domain first or a frequency domain first, and two consecutive REGs in the time domain are taken as an example in fig. 3.
Optionally, the DMRS receiving parameters include REG parameters, and the obtaining, by the terminal, the DMRS sequence corresponding to the DMRS sequence receiving parameters sent by the network side device includes:
and the terminal determines the REG corresponding to the terminal according to the REG parameter associated with the terminal, and acquires the DMRS sequence sent to the terminal by the network side equipment in the REG.
In this embodiment, the terminal may receive, according to its associated REG parameter, the DMRS sequence sent by the network side device to the terminal on the corresponding REG. Thus, each terminal can receive the DMRS sequence sent by the network side device on the respective corresponding REG, for example: the network side device may send respective RMRS sequences in the REGs associated with each terminal. In the network side device, the network side device may map DMRS sequences used by downlink control channels of different terminals to different REGs in a frequency domain. Assume that there is only one antenna port, each antenna port containing 4 REs within one REG. The one REG is 12 subcarriers consecutive on one OFDM symbol. DMRS sequences used by downlink control channels of different terminals are mapped on different REGs according to the UE ID.
Optionally, the REG associated with the terminal includes:
the REG associated with the identifier of the terminal or the REG configured for the terminal in advance by the network side equipment; and/or
The REGs include frequency domain REGs and/or time domain REGs.
For example, according to the number N of terminals performing MU-MIMO transmission by pairing, the number M of REGs in the downlink control channel resource, and the UE ID, the REG number where the DMRS sequence used by the downlink control channel of the terminal is transmitted is determined as: REG index is mod (mod (UE ID + O, N), M), where O is 0, N,2N, … M. For example, if N is 2, M is 8, UE ID of terminal 1 is 1, and UE ID of terminal 2 is 2, DMRS of terminal 1 is transmitted on REG { 1357 } and DMRS of terminal 2 is transmitted on REG { 2468 }. In addition, the REG pre-configured for the terminal by the network side device may be a REG location where the terminal transmits the DMRS through a higher layer signaling by the network side, or may be a signaling or a message sent to the terminal by another network side device, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 4 shows that the DMRS sequence of UE1 is transmitted on REG n, and the DMRS sequence of UE2 is transmitted on REG n + 1.
In addition, in this embodiment, the REGs corresponding to the terminal may include frequency-domain REGs and/or time-domain REGs. In this way, the DMRS sequences used by the downlink control channels of different terminals may be mapped on different REGs in the frequency domain, or in the frequency domain and the time domain. Assume that there is only one antenna port, each antenna port containing 4 REs within one REG. The one REG is 12 subcarriers consecutive on one OFDM symbol. DMRS sequences used by downlink control channels of different terminals are mapped on different REGs according to the UE ID. The transmission position of the DMRS used for downlink control channel demodulation is determined by a predefined rule, for example, as described above, a function related to the UE ID or a notification from the network side device. Assuming that a downlink control channel transmission resource region has 6 REGs and the downlink control channels of two terminals perform MU-MIMO transmission in the resource region, an example can be shown in fig. 5. The DMRS of UE1 is transmitted at REG { 135 } and the DMRS of UE2 is transmitted at REG { 246 }.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the above-described manners of DMRS sequences for multiple transmission terminals may be implemented by combining with each other or by themselves, for example: the DMRS sequences transmitted on different REGs may be DMRS sequences generated by the network side device according to initialization parameters associated with each terminal.
The following are illustrated by several specific examples:
example 1: assume that one REG consists of 12 consecutive REs on one OFDM symbol, and each REG contains 4 AP REs of one antenna port. When network side equipment pairs a plurality of terminals together for MU-MIMO transmission, different OCC sequences are used for scrambling by DMRS sequences used by different terminals. When the DMRS sequence is scrambled, REGgroup is used as a unit. In this embodiment, it is assumed that one REG group contains only one REG. The type of OCC sequence may be a frequency domain OCC, a time domain OCC, or a time-frequency domain OCC. Taking the above assumption as an example, when the frequency domain OCC is used, the OCC sequence length is 4, and thus there are 4 OCC sequences at maximum. If the time domain OCC is adopted and two REGs are used as the time domain OCC in the time domain, the length of the OCC sequence is 2 and at most 2 mutually orthogonal OCC sequences exist; if the OCC sequence scrambles the DMRS sequence in the time-frequency domain, it is related to the number of DMRS REs existing in REGgroup, for example, two REGs are included in one REGgroup, and 4 DMRS REs are included in each REG, the length of the OCC sequence is 8, and at most 8 mutually orthogonal OCC sequences exist. A schematic diagram of this example can be seen in fig. 6.
And the terminal can determine through which OCC sequence the own DMRS sequence is scrambled according to different modes. For example: and the terminal determines an OCC sequence used by DMRS scrambling according to the UE ID of the terminal. For example, if the number of OCC sequences whose OCCs are orthogonal to each other is N and the number is {0,1,2, …, N-1}, the number of OCC sequences used for DMRS scrambling of the terminal is mod (UEID, N); or, the network side device configures the OCC sequence number corresponding to the terminal through a higher layer signaling, for example, through an RRC signaling. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the length, the number, and the scrambling order of the OCC sequence are not limited in any way.
Example 2: assume that one REG consists of 12 consecutive REs on one OFDM symbol, and each REG contains 4 AP REs of one antenna port. When network side equipment pairs a plurality of terminals together for MU-MIMO transmission, different OCC sequences are used for scrambling by DMRS sequences used by different terminals. When the DMRS sequence is scrambled, REGgroup is used as a unit. In this embodiment, it is assumed that one REG group contains only 2 REGs. Since 8 DMRS REs are contained in one REG group, the length of the OCC sequence is 8, and there are at most 8 mutually orthogonal OCC sequences. An example of a frequency domain OCC is shown in fig. 7. In addition, when the OCC sequence is used to scramble the DMRS, the DMRS may be scrambled before the time domain and then the frequency domain or after the frequency domain and then the time domain. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, no limitation is made on the size of the REG group.
Example 3: it is assumed that one REG consists of 12 consecutive subcarriers on one OFDM symbol, and each REG contains 4 REs of one antenna port. When multiple terminals perform MU-MIMO transmission, DMRSs of different terminals are transmitted on the same port. In specific transmission, DMRSs corresponding to different terminals are transmitted on different REGs. For example, assume that a downlink control channel resource set contains 3 OFDM symbols in the time domain and 6 REGs. And assume that two terminals are paired for MU-MIMO transmission. The 6 REGs are numbered sequentially as { 012345 }. And the terminal determines that the own DMRS is transmitted in the REGs according to the UE ID of the terminal, the UE number transmitted by the pair, the REG number in the control channel resource set and the like. Specifically, for example, by the formula REG index mod (mod (UE ID + O, N), M), where O is 0,2, 4. For example, N ═ 2, M ═ 6, UE ID1 ═ 0, UE ID2 ═ 1, UE1 determines that its corresponding DMRS sequence is transmitted in REG { 024 }, and UE2 determines that its corresponding DMRS sequence is transmitted in REG { 135 }. A specific example is shown in fig. 8. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the REG numbering principle in the channel resource set under downlink control is not limited at all. Optionally, the terminal may determine the REG number where the DMRS is transmitted according to a higher layer signaling sent by the network side device. Taking the above example as an example, the network side device notifies the UE1 through higher layer signaling that the DMRS corresponding to the downlink control channel is transmitted in REG { 024 }, and the network side device notifies the UE2 through higher layer signaling that the DMRS corresponding to the downlink control channel is transmitted in REG { 135 }.
As another example, when multiple terminals are paired for MU-MIMO transmission, DMRSs of different terminals are transmitted in REGs that are different in frequency domain position. As a specific example, for example, if the downlink control channel is transmitted on one OFDM symbol and only two terminals are paired for MU-MIMO transmission, DMRSs corresponding to the UE1 and the UE2 are transmitted on different REGs. The specific method for determining the REG number for transmitting the DMRS may be determined by the above formula or by higher layer signaling sent by the base station. This may be particularly shown in figure 9.
In the embodiment of the invention, a terminal acquires a DMRS sequence receiving parameter associated with the terminal; and the terminal acquires the DMRS sequence corresponding to the DMRS sequence receiving parameter sent by the network side equipment. Compared with the prior art that the DMRS sequences used by the demodulation of the user equipment are obtained according to different antenna ports, the accuracy of distinguishing the DMRS sequences used by the demodulation of the user equipment can be improved.
