Description

The MIMO communication system is all used many antennas at transmitting-receiving two-end, and the working method of MIMO communication system can be divided into two types: open loop approach and closed-loop fashion.So-called open loop approach just be meant that the MIMO transmitter can adopt the MIMO technology under the prerequisite of not knowing mimo channel information, and closed-loop fashion is meant that the MIMO transmitter need transmitting according to mimo channel information self-adapting ground adjustment MIMO.Because closed-loop MIMO can make full use of mimo channel information, so can open up the spatial domain resource of utilizing mimo system to greatest extent, can obtain the performance more excellent than open loop approach.

Because closed-loop fashion need be known user's descending mimo channel information in advance when emission; So generally need the descending mimo channel information of receiving terminal to the transmitting terminal feedback user; And feedback mimo channel informational needs takies the very big expense of system; In practical application, be the mimo channel information of feedback fraction often, the mimo channel information spinner of this part will comprise:

1) CQI (Channel Quality Indicator, the channel quality identification) value on the transmission subband;

2) RI of mimo channel (Rank Indication, order information);

3) MIMO precoding codebook index information;

4) MIMO days line options etc.

At TDD (the Time Division Duplexing that adopts the MIMO technology; Time division duplex) in the system; Consider the reciprocity between the transceiver channel; Transmission end of base station can come the Uplink MIMO channel of estimating user through the sounding signal that detects user's emission, and replaces the estimated result to user's descending mimo channel according to the estimated result of this Uplink MIMO channel.Therefore, the user can realize the feedback to descending mimo channel information through emission sounding signal.

The feedback scheme of a kind of mimo channel information based on the sounding signal of the prior art is:

At Wimax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access; Global bridging technology based on inserting of microwave) in the frame structure of TDD system; In sub-frame of uplink, reserve several sounding signals and supply the user to launch the sounding signal, the sounding signal number of wherein reserving is 8 at most.The user is before emission sounding signal; Need to obtain in advance the sounding schedule information of base station to this user; This Sounding schedule information is mainly by the displacement information of time-domain position information, frequency domain position information or the sounding sequence of sounding signal, and the transmitting power of sounding signal etc.In base station end, can estimate user's up mimo channel information through the sounding signal that detects user's emission, further can obtain user's descending mimo channel information.

In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there are the following problems at least in the above-mentioned prior art:

In above-mentioned Wimax TDD system, as shown in Figure 1, adopt the closed-loop MIMO technology of 4 antennas in base station side, adopt only with a fixing antenna (antenna 1) emission sounding signal in end side.Through the sounding signal of terminal emission is estimated; The base station can obtain the mimo channel information of the antenna 1 at terminal; And be unknowable to the mimo channel information of the antenna 2 at terminal, so also can only utilize the mimo channel information of antenna 1 to carry out closed-loop MIMO.Because the mimo channel information that the base station obtains is incomplete, so just there is very big risk in base station side when adopting closed-loop MIMO.

Table 1:

The order of mimo channel	The order quantization bit of mimo channel	The code book C of sounding signal
			1	00	(1，1)
2	01	(1，-1)
			3	10	(1，j)
4	11	(1，-j)

In actual applications, the corresponding relation of code book in the above-mentioned table 1 and order need not strictly be bound.

When the quantity of the reception antenna at terminal during, also adopt the code book of the sounding signal shown in the above-mentioned table 1 to represent the correlation information of the descending mimo channel at terminal less than 4.When the quantity of the reception antenna at terminal during greater than 4, then choose 4 antennas wherein, adopt the code book of the sounding signal shown in the above-mentioned table 1 to represent the correlation information of the descending mimo channel of 4 antennas that this is chosen.

Step 32, terminal are attached to the code book of the sounding signal of the order information correspondence of descending mimo channel on the original sounding signal as precoding codebook, obtain the sounding sets of signals of neotectonics and send to the base station.

The terminal can adopt existing method of estimation to obtain the order information of descending mimo channel, according to the mapping table shown in the above-mentioned table 1 of this order information inquiry, obtains the code book of corresponding sounding signal.

Suppose between the user in the Wimax TDD system it is to share sounding channel, the B of subcarrier family that then adopts between each user through frequency division multiplexing ₁, B ₂... .B _UOrthogonal.Suppose that user u takies the B of subcarrier family _u, the sounding pilot tone of employing is P (k), k ∈ B _u, then the original sounding signal based on the OFDM modulation of this user u is: s (n), and n=0,1,2.....N-1, n are the total length of sounding signal.Wherein, $s\left(n\right)=\frac{1}{F}\underset{k=0}{\overset{F-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}P\left(k\right)\&CenterDot;{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="e\; j"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">e</figure-callout>}}^j,$ F is counting of OFDM when modulation IFFT (Inverse Fast FourierTransform, inverse fast fourier transform), and n is the time-domain sampling point of sounding signal.

$j=\sqrt{-1}.$

With the code book of above-mentioned sounding signal precoding codebook as a bivector form, multiply each other with above-mentioned original sounding signal s (n), the sounding sets of signals that obtains neotectonics is:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}{s}_1^{\&prime;}\left(n\right)\\ s_2^{\&prime;}\left(n\right)\end{array}\right]=C^T\&CenterDot;s\left(n\right),n=\mathrm{0,1,2}.....N-1,$ C wherein ^TTransposition for the codebook vectors of above-mentioned sounding signal.

Comprise two sounding signals in the sounding sets of signals of above-mentioned neotectonics, respectively a character in the code book of corresponding above-mentioned sounding signal.Such as, 1 and-1 in the corresponding code book of difference (1 ,-1).

In addition, in order to overcome the intersymbol interference that multipath fading is introduced, general sounding signal all need add Cyclic Prefix before emission, and the length of Cyclic Prefix should be greater than the channel multi-path time delay L of maximum.

In this embodiment, fixing single-antenna transmission sounding signal (promptly not adopting the transmission sounding signal of antennae polling mode) is only adopted at the terminal.The terminal sends to the base station respectively through single antenna after two sounding signals in the sounding sets of signals of above-mentioned neotectonics are added Cyclic Prefix respectively.

Each reception antenna of step 33, base station detects each the sounding signal that receives; Obtain the estimated information of down channel of each sounding signal of each antenna, comprehensively the comprehensive down channel estimated information on the precoding codebook information of the information acquisition terminal of the down channel of the sounding signal of each antenna and each antenna.

In base station end, the sounding signal that adopts many antennas receiving terminal to send.Each reception antenna of base station need detect each the sounding signal that receives.Simultaneously, the information of the up channel of each the sounding signal through each sounding signal being estimated obtain each antenna.Then, through the reciprocity of uplink and downlink interchannel in the TDD system, know the descending channel information at terminal.

The concrete testing process of the information of the up channel of each sounding signal of above-mentioned antenna is following:

The reception antenna of supposing base station end is designated i, i=0,1 ..N _r-1, N wherein _rBe total reception antenna number of base station end, then 2 sounding signals receiving of antenna i are:

$y_{1,i}\left(n\right)=\underset{p=0}{\overset{p=L-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{h}_{1,i}\left(p\right)\&CenterDot;s_1^{\&prime;}(n-p),$ ${\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="y"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">y</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}\left(n\right)=\underset{p=0}{\overset{p=L-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="h"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">h</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}\left(p\right)\&CenterDot;s_2^{\&prime;}(n-p),n=\mathrm{0,1,2}....N+L-1.$

H wherein _{1, i}(p), h _{2, i}(p), p=0,1,2...L-1 is the time domain impulse response of antenna i receive channel on 2 sounding signals.

Suppose that 2 sounding signals are adjacent, channel response can approximately equal in the then adjacent sounding signal, so h is arranged _{1, i}(p) ≈ h _{2, i}(p)=h _i(p).Suppose the channel multi-path time delay L of the circulating prefix-length of sounding signal, so to above-mentioned sounding signal y greater than maximum _{1, i}, y _{2, i}After removing Cyclic Prefix, carry out FFT (Fast Fourier Transform, fast Fourier transform) conversion again and obtain:

$Y_{1,i}\left(k\right)=\underset{n=0}{\overset{F-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{e}^{-\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="j"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">j</figure-callout>}2\mathrm{\&pi;kn}/F}\&CenterDot;\underset{p=0}{\overset{p=L-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{h}_{1,i}\left(p\right)\&CenterDot;s_1^{\&prime;}(n+\mathrm{CP}-p),$

${\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="Y"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">Y</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}\left(k\right)=\underset{n=0}{\overset{F-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{e}^{-\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="j"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">j</figure-callout>}2\mathrm{\&pi;kn}/F}\&CenterDot;\underset{p=0}{\overset{p=L-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="h"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">h</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}\left(p\right)\&CenterDot;s_2^{\&prime;}(n+\mathrm{CP}-p),k=\mathrm{0,1,2}....F-1$

Then, according to above-mentioned Y _{1, i}(k), Y _{2, i}(k), calculate two sounding signals that antenna i receives respectively the estimated information of corresponding up channel be:

H′ _1，i(k)＝Y _1，i(k)/P(k)，H′ _2，i(k)＝Y _2，i(k)/P(k)，k∈B _u

Because the sounding signal that reception antenna i receives has passed through above-mentioned operation of multiplying each other with precoding codebook, so above-mentioned H ' _{1, i}(k), H ' _{2, i}(k) there is relation as follows:

$\left[\begin{array}{c}{H}_{1,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="H"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">H</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\end{array}\right]=C^T\&CenterDot;H_i\left(k\right),k\&Element;B_u$

Wherein $H_i\left(k\right)=\underset{p=0}{\overset{L-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}{h}_i\left(p\right)\&CenterDot;e^{-\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="j"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">j</figure-callout>}2\mathrm{\&pi;\; Kp}/F},k\&Element;B_u$ It is the frequency domain response of the up channel on the antenna i.Because the uplink and downlink interchannel is reciprocity in the TDD system, so to this frequency domain response H _i(k) estimation just can obtain the descending channel information between the fixing emission single antenna in antenna for base station i and terminal.

To estimate above-mentioned frequency domain response H exactly _i(k), also must be according to above-mentioned Y _{1, i}(k), Y _{2, i}(k) detect above-mentioned precoding codebook, obtain the order information of the descending mimo channel at terminal again according to this precoding codebook.Each the above-mentioned precoding codebook information processing of antenna joint-detection process is following:

Above-mentioned H ' with each antenna _{1, i}(k), H ' _{2, i}(k), i=0,1,2...N _r-1 value is carried out after the conjugate multiplication again, and stack obtains: $W=\frac{1}{N_r}\underset{i=0}{\overset{N_r-1}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}}\&CenterDot;\underset{k\&Element;B_u}{\mathrm{\&Sigma;}}{H}_{1,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\&CenterDot;\mathrm{Conj}\left({\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="H"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">H</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\right),$ Wherein, conj (H ' _{2, i}(k)) be H ' _{2, i}(k) coherent element conjugation,

The real part Re (W) of more above-mentioned W and the size of imaginary part Im (W), if Re (W)＞Im (W), and Re (W)＞0, then above-mentioned precoding codebook is C=(1,1), the order information of the descending mimo channel of relevant terminal is 1;

If Re (W)＞Im (W), and Re (W)≤0, then above-mentioned precoding codebook are C=(1 ,-1), the order information of the descending mimo channel of relevant terminal is 2;

If Re (W)≤Im (W), and Im (W)＞0, then above-mentioned precoding codebook are that (1, j), the order information of the descending mimo channel of relevant terminal is 3 to C=;

If Re (W)≤Im (W), and Im (W)≤0, then above-mentioned precoding codebook be C=(1 ,-j), the order information of the descending mimo channel of relevant terminal is 4.

At last, the above-mentioned precoding codebook C through detection obtains calculates above-mentioned frequency domain response H _i(k):

$H_i\left(k\right)=\frac{1}{2}\&CenterDot;\mathrm{conj}\left(C\right)\&CenterDot;\left[\begin{array}{c}{H}_{1,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\\ {\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="H"\; filenames="H2009100874226E00031.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">H</figure-callout>}}_{2,i}^{\&prime;}\left(k\right)\end{array}\right]=\frac{1}{2}\&CenterDot;\mathrm{conj}\left(C\right)\&CenterDot;C^T\&CenterDot;H_i\left(k\right),k\&Element;B_u,i=\mathrm{0,1,2}...N_r-1$

Wherein conj (C) is the coherent element conjugation of precoding C, C ^TTransposition for the precoding codebook vector.Because the uplink and downlink interchannel is reciprocity in the TDD system, according to above-mentioned frequency domain response H _iDescending channel information between the emission single antenna that (k) can obtain fixing in antenna for base station i and terminal.

Because the sounding signal of above-mentioned neotectonics comprises 2 sounding signals, the redundancy of this sounding signal can improve the channel estimating performance of the sounding of base station among this embodiment.Such as, be example with the system emulation parameter list shown in the below table 2:

Table 2: system emulation parameter list

System bandwidth	10M
		FFT counts	1024
Cyclic Prefix	128
		User's multiplex mode	Decimation in frequency (frequency division multiplexing)
Frequency interval	8
		Channel type	The multipath slow fading
The antenna for base station number	2

The sounding sets of signals of above-mentioned neotectonics and the existing sounding signal snr gain contrast sketch map on channel estimating is as shown in Figure 4, the sounding sets of signals of the above-mentioned neotectonics of adopting among this embodiment on channel estimating with existing sounding signal mutually specific energy bring the snr gain of about 3dB.

In the prior art, adopted multi-antenna technology, can utilize many antenna receiving-sending signals simultaneously, but still adopted only with a fixing antenna emission sounding signal in end side in base station side.

In addition, in current a lot of wireless communication systems (like LTE (Long Term Evolution) TDD system), the reception antenna at terminal also often will be less than number of transmit antennas.So it is the reception antenna channel information that is difficult to estimate the terminal that the base station iff relies on the transmitting antenna at terminal.

Therefore, the base station can only obtain the mimo channel information of antenna of the emission sounding signal at terminal in the prior art, and is unknowable to the mimo channel information of other antenna at terminal.Because the mimo channel information that the base station obtains is incomplete, so just there is very big risk in base station side when adopting closed-loop MIMO.Because for mimo system, when adopting space multiplexing technique, each interchannel is to influence each other, rather than independent of each other.So do not knowing under the correlation situation of all mimo channels, the receptivity of removing to optimize the part mimo channel blindly, effect is often not good, sometimes even can run counter to desire.

This embodiment is through having comprised the correlation information of the descending mimo channel at terminal in the sounding signal that sends at the terminal, the base station is detected said sounding signal, obtains the correlation information of the descending mimo channel at the terminal that wherein comprises.Thereby having realized that even the terminal is to adopt 1 fixing antenna to send out sounding, the population characteristic valuve implementations of descending mimo channel also can be known in the base station.This channel relevancy information can be used as a reference index of base station like this, is convenient to the switching of base station between each MIMO launch scenario.

On the other hand, the base station is when estimating the sounding signal, and the detection performance of sounding signal also is vital.For the user of cell edge,,, also increased the power consumption of terminal equipment so simultaneously so need improve the detection performance of base station through increasing the sounding transmitting power to the sounding signal because the user can not adopt the multi-antenna technology emission.This embodiment through the structure the sounding sets of signals in comprise a plurality of sounding signals, increased the redundancy of sounding signal, thereby improved the channel estimating performance of the sounding of base station.

Embodiment three
