Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for transmitting a signal by selecting a cell to be cooperatively served by a base station and a user in a cooperative communication (CoMP) environment in which multiple cells cooperate to service a user. In accordance with the present invention, by selecting a cell to be actually served in a service candidate cell according to a channel state of a user in consideration of a channel quantization error, not only the frequency efficiency is improved at the time of multi-cell cooperative transmission but also channel information feedback Thereby reducing multi-user scheduling complexity.
Description
In a wireless communication system in which a plurality of cells cooperate to transmit signals to a user, a user selects cells having small quantization errors of channel direction information in a process of determining cells to be actually served among signal transmission candidate cells, And a cooperative transmission technique between a base station and a user, which can improve channel efficiency and channel feedback overhead by feeding back channel information for the corresponding cells.
Multi-antenna technology has attracted much attention as a technique for improving transmission efficiency of a wireless communication system. Particularly, when using beamforming using multiple antennas, a signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) of a wireless communication transmission link can be improved due to constructive interference between multiple channels. In addition, cooperative operation technology (CoMP) between multiple cells based on multiple antennas is a technique for eliminating interference received from adjacent sectors or neighboring cells, and achieving cell boundary user performance improvement by transmitting signals cooperatively by multiple cells. .
In order to efficiently apply the multi-cell cooperative operation technique, it is necessary to feedback the channel information estimated by the user at the receiver to the transmitter base station. For example, in the case of explicit channel quantization, the channel direction information (CDI) estimated by the UE is considered as a method of feedbacking a codebook index with a smallest error. In particular, in a multi-cell collaborative operating environment, feedback of channel direction information for a plurality of cells is serviced, thereby causing a problem of a large feedback overhead.
In addition, when multiple beams are generated using multiple antennas and multiple users are simultaneously served on the same resource, incorrect channel direction information due to quantization error causes interference between multiple beams. With respect to the SINR, due to the characteristics of the radio channel capacity increasing on a log scale, the inter-multi-beam interference is a main cause of user performance degradation due to the characteristics of the spatial multiplexing beamforming used when the strength of the serving signal is large.
In order to reduce the feedback overhead and mitigate the performance degradation due to the quantization error at the time of multi-cell cooperative transmission, the intelligently moving UE adaptively selects the cells with small quantization error among the cooperative candidate cells, Information can be fed back together to improve the channel capacity of the wireless communication.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a communication method for a terminal in a communication system using at least one antenna, the method comprising: receiving a pilot signal from at least one base station; Estimating channel state information based on the received pilot signal; And quantizing the channel state information based on the estimated channel state information and determining an error between the quantized channel state information and the estimated channel state information.
Further, in a communication system using one or more antennas according to another aspect of the present invention, a communication method of a base station includes: transmitting a pilot signal; And receiving the selected base station information and quantized channel state information.
In multi-cell cooperative operation, the multi-user beamforming using multiple antennas can dramatically increase the radio channel capacity. However, incorrect channel direction information feedback causes interference problems between multiple beams, Occurs. The present invention can improve the performance of the multi-base station cooperative operation in case of using the conventional scheme by allowing only the base stations having a small quantization error among the base stations participating in cooperation to select and transmitting the channel direction information together with the selected base station index .
