Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method for estimating channel information of a plurality of users using a cross correlation property of an SRS, which is an uplink pilot signal, in a wireless communication system having a large-scale distributed antenna structure.
The channel sounding using the uplink pilot in the time division duplex (TDD) system enables downlink channel information estimation through the channel reciprocity of the uplink / downlink characteristics. In recent years, in a large-scale multi-antenna technology and a distributed antenna system environment, which are attracting attention because they can increase a high transmission capacity and energy efficiency, when a downlink pilot signal is used, However, in TDD system, it is more efficient to use channel sounding method using fixed resources for each UE regardless of the number of antennas. In the process of transmitting an existing SRS, an SRS sequence orthogonal to each other is created, and the SRS sequence is allocated to each user, and the user transmits the SRS from the designated resource. Although the SRSs of several users are simultaneously transmitted from a predetermined resource, the base station can multiply the SRS sequence again for each user to eliminate the influence of another user and obtain the channel information of the corresponding user. Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2008-0073191 (Channel Sounding Signal Transmission Apparatus and Method in a Radio Communication System) is a prior art related to channel sounding in a multi-antenna system based on a TDD system.
In the existing LTE / LTE-A system, orthogonal SRS is assigned to each user to perform channel sounding. However, since the number of orthogonal SRSs is limited according to the base sequence for generating the SRS, when the number of users increases, the SRSs that have already been used are reused and interference between pilots there is a problem that the accuracy of channel estimation is remarkably reduced due to contamination problems.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a channel estimation method using interference characteristics in a distributed antenna system using a large-scale multiple antenna. Thus, it is possible to greatly increase the number of SRSs that can be allocated to the user, thereby reducing the interference problem between reuse pilots, the channel estimation error, and SRS compatibility with the existing LTE-A system.
The operation principle of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. And the definitions of the following terms should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

In the present invention, a method of using an SRS correlated with each other instead of using the orthogonal SRS is considered in order to efficiently service an extended user without increasing the sequence period.
