Description

Uplink signal detection method and device of flexible frame structure simulation system

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an uplink signal detection method and device of a flexible frame structure simulation system.

Background

In a communication system having a time division duplex (time division duplexing, TDD) mode, a cell may use different time slots of the same frequency channel (i.e., carrier) to enable transmission and reception of signals. That is, the cell may allocate uplink and downlink of the communication system to the same spectrum through the TDD technology. The uplink and the downlink occupy different time periods respectively, so that wireless resources can be fully used, and the asymmetric characteristics of different services are adapted.

In a communication system with TDD mode, different subframe configuration structures are defined, which may include DSUUU, DDSUU and DDDSU, for example. Where D denotes a Downlink slot (Downlink slot) refers to a slot for Downlink transmission. S denotes a Special slot (Special slot) refers to a slot for downlink transmission or uplink transmission. U denotes an Uplink slot (Uplink slot) and refers to a slot for Uplink transmission. In this way, the cell can flexibly select proper subframe structure configuration according to the uplink and downlink traffic carried by the cell, so that the uplink and downlink bandwidth transmission traffic configured by the subframe structure is used. However, when different terminals adopt different subframe configuration structures to send uplink signals to the cell, the uplink signals received by the cell are subject to cross time slot interference. At this time, the uplink signal received by the cell needs to be detected to determine the signal quality of the uplink signal.

Detailed Description

In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present application and the above figures are used for distinguishing between similar objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order. It is to be understood that the data so used may be interchanged where appropriate such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein may be capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with aspects of embodiments of the present application as detailed in the accompanying claims.

It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components.

In order to ensure that the constructed cells can bring the maximum throughput gain, the communication quality of the planned communication system can be evaluated and analyzed in a simulation mode before the actual networking. For example, for a New Radio (NR) cell in a communication system having a TDD model, the NR cell uses a millimeter wave band for transmission data of signals. However, the millimeter wave band has poor penetrability, and in an environment with good isolation, the NR cell can adopt a flexible frame mode, and the data can be transmitted by using bandwidths corresponding to different subframe configuration structures. However, when the NR cell uses a flexible frame to perform signal transmission with the terminal, a problem of cross slot interference is introduced, which easily causes a decrease in system capacity.

The signal quality of the uplink signal received by the cell can be determined, typically by the signal-to-noise ratio. For example, the block error rate of the uplink signal may be mapped by the signal-to-noise ratio, so that the data throughput of the cell may be calculated. Therefore, in order to evaluate the network quality of the communication system, before networking, the uplink signal received by the cell may be detected through system simulation to determine the signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal received by the cell.

In the simulation scene, when the cell and the terminal adopt the same frame structure to carry out signal transmission, the uplink signal sent by the terminal to the cell can be interfered by the downlink signal sent by the interference cell in the same time slot. In order to determine a signal received by a certain cell from an uplink signal transmitted by a terminal (to distinguish from an interfering terminal, referred to as a target terminal), the uplink signal received by the cell from the target terminal may be calculated by the following formula one. The cell is a serving cell of the target terminal.

Where y represents a signal when an uplink signal transmitted by the target terminal arrives at the target cell (i.e., a serving cell of the target terminal). P (P) ₁ Representing the signal transmit power of the target terminal. H _1s Representing the channel matrix between the target terminal and the target cell. The channel matrix has an order of np×nb. The elements in the channel matrix represent the frequency domain channel response between the antennas of the target terminal and the antennas of the target cell. Np is the number of antennas of the target terminal, and Nb is the number of antennas of the target cell. W (W) ₁ Representing the precoding matrix of the target terminal. The precoding matrix has an order of nb×m1. M1 is the number of signal streams of the uplink signal sent by the target terminal. X is x ₁ ＝(x _1.1 ，x _1.2 ，…，x _1.M ) ^T Normalized vector of useful signal sent for target terminal. P (P) _i Representing the signal transmit power of a strongly interfering terminal. H _1g Representing the channel matrix between the strongly interfering terminal and the target cell. W (W) _i Representing the precoding matrix of the i-th strong interference terminal. i is a positive integer. X is x _i ＝(x ₁ ，x ₂ ，…，x _Mj ) ^T And the normalized vector representing the signal sent by the strong interference terminal. z is noise, z= (z) ₁ ，z ₂ ，…，z _Nr ) ^T . The elements in z are CN (0, sigma ² )。σ ² Is the variance of the noise. P (P) _w Representing the signal transmit power of a weak interfering terminal. L (L) _ig Indicating the link loss between the target cell and the weak interfering terminal. The link loss may include a large scale path loss and antenna gain. The calculation method of the large-scale path loss and the antenna gain can refer to the prior art, and will not be repeated.

The interfering cell may refer to a terminal that generates interference to an uplink signal received by the target cell. The interference terminal and the target terminal can both access the same service cell, and can also be the terminal accessing the interference cell. The interfering cells may include strong interfering cells and weak interfering cells. The interfering terminals may include strong interfering terminals and weak interfering terminals.

For example, as shown in fig. 1, a communication system is provided in an embodiment of the present application. The communication system may include a plurality of cells (e.g., cell 1 and cell 2) and a plurality of terminals (e.g., terminal 1 and terminal 2). Each of the plurality of cells may serve a terminal accessing the cell. For example, cell 1 may serve terminal 1 and cell 2 may serve terminal 2.

For terminal 1, cell 1 may be referred to as a serving cell. When the terminal 1 and the terminal 2 use the same frame structure and the same time slot to respectively transmit uplink signals to the corresponding serving cells, the uplink signals transmitted by the terminal 2 may interfere with the uplink signals transmitted by the terminal 1 to the cell 1. At this time, the terminal 2 may be referred to as a cell 1 and an interfering terminal of the terminal 1.

In one example, if the large-scale path loss of terminal 2 to cell 1 is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, terminal 2 may be referred to as a strong interfering terminal; if the large-scale path loss of terminal 2 to cell 1 is less than a preset threshold, terminal 2 may be referred to as a weak interference terminal.

Alternatively, if cell 1 has multiple interfering terminals, the multiple interfering terminals may be ranked according to the magnitude of the large-scale path loss to cell 1, and the first N interfering terminals may be used as strong interfering terminals for cell 1, and the remaining interfering terminals may be used as weak interfering terminals for cell 1. N is a positive integer less than the number of interfering terminals.

In yet another example, if the large-scale path loss of cell 2 to cell 1 is greater than or equal to a preset threshold, then cell 2 may be referred to as a strong interfering cell of cell 1; if the large-scale path loss of cell 2 to cell 1 is less than a preset threshold, then cell 2 may be referred to as a cell 1 weak interference cell.

Alternatively, if the terminal 1 has a plurality of interfering cells, the plurality of interfering cells may be ranked according to the magnitude of the large-scale path loss from the interfering cells to the cell 1, and the first N interfering cells are regarded as strong interfering cells of the cell 1, and the remaining interfering cells are regarded as weak interfering cells of the cell 1. N is a positive integer less than the number of interfering cells.

At the signal receiving end, the combined effect of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and noise on the signal is reduced in order to reduce the distortion of the signal. The signal receiving end (such as the target cell) can perform linear detection on the received signal to obtain a detected signal (i.e. the recovered original signal).

For example, the target cell may detect the received uplink signal using a preset linear detection algorithm. The preset linear detection algorithm may be Zero Forcing (ZF), minimum mean square error (minimum mean square error, MMSE), or the like, but may be other linear detection algorithms, which are not limited.

In an example, the target cell may perform linear detection on the received uplink signal using a preset detection matrix, to obtain a detected uplink signal.

For example, the detection matrix is preset to be D, and the order of D is m1×np. The detected uplink signal is:

Wherein,representing the uplink signal received by the target cell, the uplink signal including the desired signal and the inter-stream interference signal. />Indicating the interference signals of other terminals in a multi-user (MU) paired terminal group and the interference signals of strong interfering terminals. The MU paired terminal group includes a target terminal and one or more interfering terminals. Dz represents noise disturbance. />Representing the interfering signal of a weak interfering terminal.

For convenience of description, the detected downlink signal may be modified as follows:

wherein,

for any signal flow (such as an mth signal flow) in the uplink signal received by the target cell, the signal after linear detection of the mth signal flow is:

wherein A is _m Is the m-th line element of a. B (B) _im Is B _i Is the m-th line element of (c).

The signal-to-noise ratio of the mth signal is:

wherein A is _mj Is the mth row and the jth column element of A. B (B) _imj Is B _i The mth row and the jth column elements of (c). D (D) _mj Is the mth row and the jth column element of D.

In another simulation scenario, when the cell and the terminal adopt a flexible frame structure to perform signal transmission, an uplink signal sent by the terminal to the cell is not only interfered by a downlink signal of an interference cell in the same time slot, but also can be interfered by an uplink signal of an interference terminal.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, when an interfering cell transmits a downlink signal to an interfering terminal, the downlink signal may be received by a serving cell. When the time slot resources used by the interference cell and the target cell are the same, the downlink signal will interfere the uplink signal received by the target downlink cell. Meanwhile, the downlink signal sent by the interference cell to the interference terminal can also generate interference on the uplink signal sent by the target terminal.

In one example, the interfering cells may include a strong interfering cell and a weak interfering cell. The method for determining the strong interference cell and the weak interference cell may refer to the above description, and will not be repeated here.

In yet another example, the interfering terminals may include strong interfering terminals and weak interfering terminals. The large-scale path loss between the strong interference terminal and the target terminal is larger than or equal to a preset threshold value 2. The large-scale path loss between the weak interference terminal and the target terminal is smaller than a preset threshold 2. The preset threshold 2 may be set as required, and is not limited.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides an uplink signal detection method of a flexible frame structure simulation system, where when a terminal uses a flexible frame structure to send an uplink signal to a cell, the uplink signal received by the cell from the terminal may be interfered by a downlink signal of a neighboring cell and an uplink signal of an interfering terminal. Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, the signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal received by the cell from the terminal may be calculated according to the interference values (may also be referred to as interference power) of a plurality of interference sources (for example, the downlink signal of the interfering cell, noise, uplink signal of the interfering terminal, etc.) that generate interference to the uplink signal received by the cell from the terminal. Because the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal can reflect the signal quality of the signal, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can comprehensively and accurately evaluate the signal quality of the uplink signal received by the cell.

It should be noted that, the communication systems shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2 are communication systems constructed by simulation by the simulation device. The cells and terminals in fig. 1 and 2 are both in the same simulation system. The method in the embodiment of the application simulates the actual communication environment through simulation, so that the signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal received by the cell is obtained. Thus, when networking is performed later, communication engineering personnel can adjust or optimize the cell to be planned according to the simulation result.

The method provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that, the network system described in the embodiments of the present application is for more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of the network system and the appearance of other network systems, the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application is applicable to similar technical problems.

In one example, the first uplink signal received by the target cell from the target terminal may be that, in the simulation environment, the terminal transmits the uplink signal to the target cell in response to the input instruction. Accordingly, in the same simulation environment, the target cell may receive the first uplink signal from the target terminal.

The interaction between cells and the interaction between the signals between the cells and the terminal are all the interaction of simulation analog signals. The signals between the target cell and the target terminal and the signals between the interference cell and the interference terminal are analog signals. The analog signal may be generated for the emulation device in response to an input instruction. Thus, the simulation equipment can acquire the signals transmitted by each cell and each terminal and the received signals.

Further, since the target cell needs to perform linear detection after receiving the uplink signal from the target terminal, the original uplink signal (i.e., the first uplink signal) can be obtained.

In an example, to obtain the original uplink signal, the simulation device may establish a channel matrix between the target terminal and the target cell through simulation, and obtain a precoding matrix of the target terminal.

Furthermore, the simulation device can perform linear detection on the signal to obtain a first uplink signal from the target terminal, which is received by the target cell.

For example, the linear matrix may be the detection matrix D described above. The downlink signal from the target terminal received by the target cell is +>

Further, after obtaining the first uplink signal received by the target cell from the target terminal, the simulation device may determine the signal strength of the first uplink signal according to the first uplink signal.

Wherein, SINR is the signal-to-noise ratio of the first uplink signal.

Based on the technical scheme shown in fig. 4, when the terminal adopts the flexible frame structure to send the uplink signal to the cell, the uplink signal from the terminal received by the cell may be interfered by the downlink signal of the neighboring cell and the uplink signal of the interfering terminal. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the signal-to-noise ratio of the uplink signal received by the cell from the terminal may be calculated according to the interference values (may also be referred to as interference power) of a plurality of interference sources (for example, the downlink signal of the interfering cell, noise, uplink signal of the interfering terminal, etc.) that generate interference to the uplink signal received by the cell from the terminal.
