2On all antennas of transmitting terminal, export; Same group of reference symbol on same OFDM symbol differs sub-carrier number P on frequency domain be 6, on same OFDM symbol not on the same group reference symbol to differ sub-carrier number K on frequency domain be 1, two groups of user's dedicated reference symbols corresponding to same data flow are placed at the enterprising line interlacing of frequency domain, and differing sub-carrier number Q is 3.Other subcarriers on the OFDM symbol are used to send data symbol D.
Between transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, adopt wave beam forming, during the space multiplexing technique of closed loop transmit diversity techniques or closed loop, only need just can support the control signaling that frequency domain dispatching and demodulation are shared in the common reference symbol on first OFDM symbol, like this, adopt wave beam forming between transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, during the space multiplexing technique of closed loop transmit diversity techniques or closed loop, can adopt antenna that one group of common reference symbol is set respectively corresponding to the shared control of each root transmission signaling, and this common reference symbol is inserted on first OFDM symbol, and the reference symbol of user's special use is set no longer corresponding to described antenna.
Figure 12 shows that another schematic diagram that reference symbol is set on the OFDM symbol in the Physical Resource Block that the receiving terminal user uses when adopting the wave beam forming technology.
The transmitting antenna number N that the control signaling that sends when transmitting terminal needs is 1, data flow transmitted L is 1, when the receiving terminal user adopts the wave beam forming technology, on the OFDM symbol in the Physical Resource Block that this user uses, it is 1 that insertion common reference symbol group is counted N, and it is 2 that extra user's dedicated reference symbols of insertion is counted 2L.The common reference symbol of inserting is the first reference symbol R

2On all antennas of transmitting terminal, export; Same group of reference symbol on same OFDM symbol differs sub-carrier number P on frequency domain be 6, on same OFDM symbol not on the same group reference symbol to differ sub-carrier number K on frequency domain be 1, two groups of user's dedicated reference symbols corresponding to same data flow are placed at the enterprising line interlacing of frequency domain, and differing sub-carrier number Q is 3.
The schematic diagram of reference symbol is set on the OFDM symbol in the Physical Resource Block that the user uses when Figure 13 shows that the space multiplexing technique that adopts closed loop.
Employing is shared the mode that the antenna of controlling signaling is provided with one group of common reference symbol respectively corresponding to each root transmission, and this common reference symbol is inserted on first OFDM symbol, and the reference symbol of user's special use no longer is set corresponding to described antenna.
The transmitting antenna number N that the control signaling that sends when transmitting terminal needs is 2, data flow transmitted L is 2, when the receiving terminal user adopts the space multiplexing technique of closed loop, it is 2 that the common reference symbol group of inserting on the OFDM symbol in the Physical Resource Block that this user uses is counted N, and it is 4 that user's dedicated reference symbols of insertion is counted 2L.The common reference symbol of inserting is respectively the first reference symbol R

4Be positioned on third from the bottom the OFDM symbol.Same group of reference symbol on same OFDM symbol differs sub-carrier number P on frequency domain be 6, on same OFDM symbol not on the same group reference symbol to differ sub-carrier number K on frequency domain be 1, two groups of user's dedicated reference symbols corresponding to same data flow are placed at the enterprising line interlacing of frequency domain, and differing sub-carrier number Q is 3.Other subcarriers on the OFDM symbol are used to send data symbol D.
The present invention inserts common reference symbol in the OFDM symbol, and in the OFDM symbol, insert behind user's dedicated reference symbol according to the multi-antenna technology that uses between transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal this OFDM symbol is sent, make the receiving terminal user receive described OFDM symbol and also therefrom extract common reference symbol and user's dedicated reference symbol, not only support the frequency domain dispatching technology, also supported the multi-antenna transmitting transferring technology simultaneously.
In the foregoing description, the reference symbol of lifting is set to insert on the OFDM symbol of a business time-slot of radio frames, but indication reference symbol of the present invention setting not only is confined to this, reference symbol can be provided with on the OFDM of a subframe of the radio frames of being made up of a plurality of subframes equally, its method in like manner repeats no more.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Like this, if of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
