Wherein, basic scheme refers to traditional each polymerization carrier wave under same power amplifier and according to Cell Identity CI, generates the scheme of identical reference signal sequence.
From table 2 to table 5, we can obtain drawing a conclusion:
When LTE-A community only configures a non-backward compatible carrier waves, our scheme 1 is low with the CM value of comparing when cell configuration is descending 2 and 3 carrier waves of TI, high but the CM value when cell configuration is descending 4,5 carrier waves is wanted.Compare with basic scheme, all lower in any situation CM value.When two non-backward compatible carrier waves of LTE-A cell configuration, our scheme 1 and scheme 2 are substantially all good than the scheme of TI, and wherein the performance of scheme 2 is best.From the angle realizing, our scheme does not need that the sequence of LTE Release 8 is generated to formula and carries out any change, be only the sequence used of non-backward compatible carrier waves in long sequence, the sequence except first paragraph.And the scheme of TI will be reversed to the sequence generation of downlink reference signal, be therefore to larger change of LTE Release 8 standard.In addition, in LTE-A system configuration, three of the single frequency range configurations scenes with up-downgoing polymerization carrier wave are rare, so comprehensively, at LTE-A system configuration descending carrier number, be not a lot of in the situation that, our scheme has obvious advantage.
Certainly; scheme 1 and scheme 2 be preferred embodiment just; the present invention also can have other various embodiments; in the situation that not deviating from spirit of the present invention and essence thereof; those of ordinary skill in the art are when making according to the present invention various corresponding changes and distortion, but these corresponding changes and distortion all should belong to the protection range of the appended claim of the present invention.
