Wherein, basic scheme refers to traditional each polymerization carrier wave under same power amplifier generates identical reference signal sequence according to Cell Identity CI scheme.
We can obtain to draw a conclusion from table 2 to table 5:
When the LTE-A sub-district only disposed a non-backward compatible carrier waves, comparing in the CM value of cell configuration when being descending 2 and 3 carrier waves of our scheme 1 and TI was low, but wanted height in the CM value of cell configuration when being descending 4,5 carrier waves.Compare with basic scheme, all lower in any situation CM value.When two non-backward compatible carrier waves of LTE-A cell configuration, all the scheme than TI is good basically for our scheme 1 and scheme 2, and wherein the performance of scheme 2 is best.From the angle that realizes, our scheme does not need the sequence generation formula of LTE Release 8 is carried out any change, only is that the employed sequence of non-backward compatible carrier wave is in the long sequence, the sequence except first section.And the scheme of TI will be reversed to the sequence generation of downlink reference signal, is to bigger change of LTE Release 8 standards therefore.In addition, in the LTE-A system configuration, three scenes with up-downgoing polymerization carrier wave of single frequency range configuration are rare, so comprehensively, under LTE-A system configuration descending carrier number was not a lot of situation, our scheme had remarkable advantages.
Certainly; scheme 1 and scheme 2 be preferred embodiment just; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art work as can make various corresponding changes and distortion according to the present invention, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
