Obviously, above-mentioned introduction to various precodings only is used to explain the present invention, is not to be used to limit protection scope of the present invention.
S103: the base station is carried on the transmitting power normalized parameter and sends to terminal in the downstream signal.
In the MIMO communication system, owing to the information that will send has been carried out precoding processing at transmitting terminal, transmitting power has been carried out normalized, for BPSK, QPSK, the such phase modulation method of 8PSK, the convergent-divergent of amplitude can not influence the information that phase place is carried, receiving terminal need not to know just correct hard decision of power normalization parameter, promptly can be concerning no coded system not to receiving terminal transmitted power normalized parameter, but concerning coded system is arranged, can influence the value of soft bit, and then influence decode results.Therefore, the transmitting power normalized parameter must be sent to receiving terminal, receiving terminal is demodulating data better.
Cell mobile communication systems TD-LTE below in conjunction with TDD mode is described, the ground that is without loss of generality, and with base station 4 antennas, the configuring condition of the every user's single antenna of 4 users is an example.
As shown in Figure 2, be the mapping pattern of a kind of descending pilot frequency on time-frequency of TD-LTE existing standard.As embodiments of the invention, the transmitting power normalized parameter is carried on and sends to terminal in the down-bound pilot frequency signal, and in the present embodiment, downstream signal sends to terminal by the OFDM modulation.Can carry out following three steps in conjunction with concrete condition:
The first step: the β parameter at corresponding pilot tone place is mapped on the pilot tone of corresponding pilot frequency locations of each antenna by pilot frequency design respectively.For base station 4 antennas, the configuring condition of the every user's single antenna of 4 users, base station 4 antennas should adopt the pilot frequency design shown in Fig. 2, wherein R respectively
0, R
1, R
2, R
3The expression pilot frequency locations, the time-frequency domain resources of making fork is illustrated in this time-frequency domain and does not send data.Because the pilot frequency locations difference of each antenna, this pilot frequency design are not disturbed between each antenna.
Second step: multiply by the contrary of each independent channel respectively.The pilot signal and the modulated signal that are located at pilot frequency locations are respectively: a={a

expression 1 pilot frequency locations contrary from antenna for
base station 1 to the user.
The 3rd step: launch to being mapped to the many antennas in base station after business datum after the precoding processing and the pilot signal process IFFT processing.
In the above-described embodiments, because there is not interference in each pilot frequency locations difference between each antenna, carrying transmitting power normalized parameter need take certain system resource, and obviously, under the more situation of user, resource consumption also increases.
In addition, the transmitting power normalized parameter can be mapped on the pilot tone, and carry out sending to terminal again after the precoding processing shining upon the described pilot resources in back.For example, when the transmitting power normalized parameter is carried on as shown in Figure 3 the pilot tone pattern, can carry out following three steps in conjunction with concrete condition:
The first step: the β parameter at corresponding pilot tone place is mapped on the pilot tone of corresponding pilot frequency locations of each antenna by pilot frequency design shown in Figure 3 respectively, wherein R
0The expression pilot frequency locations.Because the pilot frequency locations of each antenna is overlapping, exist between the multi-user and disturb, will eliminate interference by adopting method for precoding.
Second step: carry out precoding and disturb inhibition to handle.Signal is respectively after being located at the pilot signal of pilot frequency locations and precoding: a={a

Wherein, when for ZF algorithm criterion
Or work as for MMSE algorithm criterion
So analogize for other algorithms.H is the mimo channel matrix between base station and each user, matrix element h
IjThe channel of expression from antenna for base station i to j user antenna.
The 3rd step: launch to being mapped to the many antennas in base station after business datum after the precoding processing and the pilot signal process IFFT processing.
In the above-described embodiments, because there is not interference in each pilot frequency locations difference between each antenna, the system resource that carrying transmitting power normalized parameter need take is less, and under the situation that the user increases, the consumption of system resource can not increase.
In addition, the transmitting power normalized parameter can also be carried on the business datum signal, this moment, the modulation system of described business datum was the constant amplitude phase modulated.Preferably, can carry out sending to terminal again after the precoding processing to the described business datum signal time-frequency domain resources of carrying transmitting power normalized parameter.For example, when the transmitting power normalized parameter is carried on as shown in Figure 3 the pilot tone pattern, can carry out following three steps in conjunction with concrete condition:
The first step: pilot tone still adopts pilot frequency design mapping as shown in Figure 3, but pilot frequency locations transmission this moment no longer is the known pilot signal of receiving terminal user, but with the business datum signal of the such constant amplitude phase modulated of BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, the β parameter of coming incidentally corresponding running time-frequency resource place by these business datum signals.Because the pilot frequency locations of each antenna is overlapping, exist between the multi-user and disturb, need to adopt method for precoding to eliminate and disturb.
Second step: carry out precoding and disturb to suppress handle, be located at the business datum signal of pilot frequency locations and precoding after signal be respectively: a={a

TThen have:
Wherein, when for ZF algorithm criterion
Or work as for MMSE algorithm criterion
So analogize for other algorithms.H is the mimo channel matrix between base station and each user, matrix element h
IjThe channel of expression from antenna for base station i to j user antenna.
The 3rd step: launch to being mapped to the many antennas in base station after business datum after the precoding processing and the pilot signal process IFFT processing.
In the above-described embodiments, because the place resource transmission of carrying transmitting power normalized parameter is business datum, do not need the extra resource of system that takies, and under the situation that the user increases, the utilization of system resource can be not influenced yet.
In the above-described embodiments, the precoding algorithm of employing can be a linear algorithm, also can be nonlinear algorithm.Preferably, when described precoding algorithm was the linear predictive coding algorithm, described base station was carried on the described transmitting power normalized parameter of described running time-frequency resource correspondence and sends to described terminal in the downstream signal; When described precoding algorithm was the nonlinear precoding algorithm, described base station was carried on the average of the described transmitting power normalized parameter of described running time-frequency resource correspondence and sends to described terminal in the downstream signal.For example, in the above-described embodiments, all carry out the transmitting power normalized parameter in pilot frequency locations and carry, different is, what described pilot frequency locations can be carried is pilot tone, and what also can carry is business datum.Therefore, for the linear predictive coding algorithm, the transmitting power normalized parameter that carries is the β value of described pilot frequency locations, and for the nonlinear precoding algorithm, the transmitting power normalized parameter that carries is the average of the β value around the described pilot frequency locations.
The present invention also provides a kind of method of reseptance of pre-coding power normalization parameter, may further comprise the steps: terminal receives the downstream signal that the base station sends, and downstream signal carries transmitting power normalized parameter information; Terminal is determined the mode of system bearing transmitting power normalized parameter, obtains described transmitting power normalized parameter by downstream signal.Terminal can be obtained the mode of system bearing transmitting power normalized parameter by modes such as receiving system message, thereby obtains the transmitting power normalized parameter from downstream signal.
