Fig. 5 shows the wireless transmitter/receiver unit that is arranged to any execution mode of carrying out described method.
Embodiment
The term of hereinafter mentioning " wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU) " is including, but not limited to the subscriber equipment of subscriber equipment (UE), mobile radio station, fixing or moving user unit, beeper, cell phone, PDA(Personal Digital Assistant), computer or any other type that can operate in wireless environment.The term of hereinafter mentioning " base station " is including, but not limited to the interface equipment of Node B, site controller, access point (AP) or any other type that can operate in wireless environment.
Fig. 1 shows the flow chart of first execution mode that is used for reducing in radio communication the method 100 of feedback transmission expense, and it will be named as the conventional the best-M scheme of mixing.For those skilled in the art, well-known is that the bandwidth of communication channel generally is divided into a plurality of subbands.Method 100 begins (105) to determine the signal quality in each subband.Mass measurement is a kind of predefined quality metric (metric), such as signal-noise ratio or channel quality index (CQI).Select M subband (110) in the subband with best quantitive measure value.Number M is less than the sum of subband.
In step 120, M selected subband preferably is grouped into Q group.The number Q of group is preferably less than the number of selected subband and is at least 2.Along with the minimizing of Q, report that the required bit number of described quality metric (expense) also reduces, but the accuracy (resolution) that the frequency band in M the frequency band of the best is reported can reduce equally.Therefore, preferably the Q value is selected so that this balance is optimized.By way of example, a kind of optimal way can be by selecting Q to make to have only a group to comprise a lucky subband at the most.In case subband is grouped, in step 130, the mean value of tolerance of the subband in each group of Q group is determined.Resulting result is Q master (primary) mean value.Mean value to the tolerance that is not included in M all subbands in the optimal sub-band is determined (step 140).Resulting mean value is named as time (secondary) mean value.In step 150, Q main mean value and one mean value are transmitted.M optimal sub-band and Q the position of group in bandwidth are transmitted (step 160).
In specific example, described mean value and position are transferred to base station (BS) from wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU), so that described BS comes communication is optimized by only using high-quality subband.More generally, described mean value can be transferred to any wireless receiver.
Some are replaced execution modes and can be used to transmit described position, thereby make described receiver know which subband is included in M the subband of described the best and subband wherein belongs to Q each group in organizing.In a kind of replacement execution mode, can adopt predetermined order that described mean value is transmitted, will be described this hereinafter subsequently.Replace in the execution mode at another kind, can transmit a group echo (label).For a latter's example, consider the situation of Q=2.Can transmit a mark to indicate described M the position of best in quality subband in bandwidth.Can transmit second mark and belong in these two groups some group with which subband in M subband of indication.Acquiescence residue frequency band belongs to another group.Usually, in this scheme, transmit Q position.Because Q is less than M, if transmitted the quality information of all M frequency band, the bit number (expense) that then is used to transmit useful sub-band quality information can be less than needed bit number---so-called best M reports scheme separately.
Alternative (being named as mixing the best-M difference (differential)) as first execution mode can further reduce required expense.Replace in the execution mode at this, the best M scheme of mixing as indicated above is the same, Q location index is transmitted, and wherein 1 location index is used to indicate the position of described best M subband, and Q-1 location index is used for indicating the position of Q-1 of described Q the group frequency band in organizing.But in this scheme, described Q group is sorted, and only the main mean value quality metric value of first group in described Q the group reported.Remaining Q-1 main mean value is reported as the difference of each mean value and the mean value that comes his front respectively.Inferior mean value is reported as the difference of this time mean value and last (last) main mean value.
For the example of a differential scheme, consider the situation of Q=2 once more.In this case, the mean value that is transmitted is:
A) first group a main mean value in two groups,
B) the main mean value of second group main mean value and first group is poor, and
C) the main mean value of inferior mean value and second group is poor.
Mix the best-M scheme with routine and compare, a) and b) item saved at least two bits altogether, c) item has been saved at least one bit.
Fig. 2 shows the flow chart of second execution mode of the method 200 that is used to reduce the feedback transmission expense.In this embodiment, use compressed transform to reduce expense.
Similar with first execution mode of Fig. 1, in step 205, come quality metric is determined, and in step 210, select M subband with best quality metric at each subband.Determine the not mean value (step 240) of the tolerance of the subband in a described best M subband.This M tolerance and described mean value are compressed in step 250, and the value after the compression is transmitted (step 260).Described compression has reduced required transport overhead.
The specific example of using compressed transform is described now.M metric and described mean value can be arranged to the component of vector.In described best M the subband which ordering of component of vector indicate is mean value corresponding to metric and which component.For example, for the situation of M=5, the vectorial y that can define one 8 component is:
y=[CQI 1?CQI 2?CQI 3?CQI 4?CQI 5?CQI avg?0?0]
CQI wherein 1-CQI 5Be respectively the quality metric value of subband 1-5, CQI AvgBe the mean value that is not included in the tolerance of M the subband in the optimal sub-band.Two 0 components are explained hereinafter.
Now come the information that is included among the vectorial y is compressed by the compressed transform of representing by matrix W.Described compression can obtain compressing vectorial y3 by matrix multiplication and represent:
y3=yW
The component of vectorial y3 after the compression is quantized and is transmitted.
As specific example, described compressed transform can be Ha Er (Haar) conversion.Haar transform is the wavelet transformation of specific type, and it is used to such as application such as image compression.Haar transform can reduce transport overhead by the weight of vectorial component being transferred to a component.
Situation for the vector of above-mentioned M=5 can realize suitable Haar transform by following matrix
W = 1 / 8 1 / 8 1 / 4 0 1 / 2 0 0 0 1 / 8 1 / 8 1 / 4 0 - 1 / 2 0 0 0 1 / 8 1 / 8 - 1 / 4 0 0 1 / 2 0 0 1 / 8 1 / 8 - 1 / 4 0 0 - 1 / 2 0 0 1 / 8 - 1 / 8 0 1 / 4 0 0 1 / 2 0 1 / 8 - 1 / 8 0 1 / 4 0 0 - 1 / 2 0 1 / 8 - 1 / 8 0 - 1 / 4 0 0 0 1 / 2 1 / 8 - 1 / 8 0 - 1 / 4 0 0 0 - 1 / 2
This Haar transform is reversible, and can nondestructively restore unpressed vectorial y by the described process of reverse execution, is expressed as y=y 3F, wherein
F = W - 1 = 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 1 1 - 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 - 1 - 1 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 - 1
Notice that in this example, it is zero that among the vectorial y two 0 have caused the last component of the vectorial y3 after the compression.Therefore, this last component can be removed before transmission, and can loss of information.
As an alternative, the component of vectorial y also can be rearranged by following equation:
y′=[CQI 1?CQI 2?CQI 3?CQI 4?CQI 5?0?CQI avg?0]
After compression, latter two component of the vector of conversion can be removed and loss of information not, and this is because receiver is known which element of y ' in advance is zero, and utilizes this point to come CQI 5And CQI AvgCarry out losslessly encoding.
In a kind of replacement execution mode, can realize that other expense reduces by the transmission of tolerance after the compression and mean value being expanded during more than a Transmission Time Interval (TTI).Among Fig. 4 this replacement execution mode is described.Suppose that compression causes quality information to be comprised in P the bit.Under situation about not expanding, P bit transmits (400) in each TTI.Under situation about expanding, P bit is assigned among K the TTI (410), and wherein K is greater than 1.Like this, average overhead bit becomes P/K, and no longer is P.
This execution mode can extend to the many code communications of multilayer.In this case, come report quality tolerance at each each subband of layer.Quality metric value be comprised in the matrix rather than vector in.The entry of a matrix element can be exactly a metric itself, or the difference between each metric and (for example) maximal metric value.By using two dimensional compaction conversion (such as the 2-D Haar transform) information is compressed subsequently.The result can be the matrix that contains a relatively large element, and all the other elements of matrix then have than low value.Subsequently, when the matrix after the compression is transmitted, will cause a large amount of minimizings of feedback overhead.
This execution mode can be applied to frequency division (partitioning).In this case, transmission band is divided into sub-piece.Each block is determined quality metric.Transmission band is divided into K piecemeal, and wherein K is at least 2.First piecemeal comprises N1 best sub-piece, and second piecemeal comprises ensuing N2 the best sub-piece that is not included in first piecemeal, and remaining piecemeal in K piecemeal by that analogy.For first piecemeal, select M1 piecemeal in N1 the piecemeal with best quality metric, and the best M1 execution mode of the Ha Er that describes before using.For second piecemeal, select M2 best sub-piece, wherein M2 can be not equal to M1, and uses the best M2 execution mode of Ha Er.Use similar mode, the Ha Er compression is applied to each piecemeal of K piecemeal.This technology is reduced to transport overhead:
[ log 2 N 1 - 1 M 1 - 1 + log 2 N 2 - 1 M 2 - 1 + . . . + log 2 N K - 1 M K - 1 ] .
In many inputs/many output (MIMO) communication plans, can use similar dividing method.For example can on code word, layer or both, cut apart.
Fig. 3 shows the example of second execution mode of the method 300 that is used to reduce the feedback transmission expense.In this embodiment, compression can be distributed on the different time intervals.The communication resource (such as the frequency and the time interval of distributing) is focused in the Resource Block, and Resource Block forms Resource Block group (RBG) conversely again.Determine the quality metric of each RBG.RBG is divided into N group.The prior all positions of known these groups of WTRU and BS.In first report interval (for example Transmission Time Interval (TTI)), compressed transform (the best M conversion of all Ha Er as the aforementioned) can be used to one group quality metric in these groups, and the tolerance after the transmission compression.In each report interval subsequently, the tolerance after the compression of another group in described N group is reported, is reported as up to the quality metric at whole frequency band and ends.In this embodiment, at least since the vector of metric by from N RBGIndividual component is reduced to N RBG/ N component will cause expense to reduce.
Fig. 3 shows the specific example of this execution mode, wherein N=2.One group of RBG 300 is divided into N=2 group, and one group comprises the RBG 310 that is numbered even number, and another group comprises the RBG 340 that is numbered odd number.In the i of report interval, Ha Er is best, and the M compression is applied to even number set (320), and with result transmission (330).In Next Report time interval i+1, Ha Er is best, and the M compression is applied to odd number group (350), and with result transmission (360).
Table 1 shows and comprises that the multiple expense of some execution modes disclosed herein reduces the comparison of scheme, supposes that each unpressed quality metric is expressed as five bits.Especially, also show the expense of comparing with best M the sample that does not use the Ha Er compression for best M the sample of Ha Er (individual) and reduce percentage.
