The Mathematical Modeling of considering MIMO transmission channel is:
y=Hx+n (1)
Wherein, x is the emission signal vector on the many antennas of transmitting terminal, and y is the received signal vector on the many antennas of receiving terminal, and H is transmission channel matrix, and n is white Gaussian noise vector.
For the linear preequalization algorithm of ZF of the transmitting terminal precoding based on ZF, the precoded signal of transmitting terminal is:

For guaranteeing the constant power normalization parameter of transmit signal power.Wherein, K is transmitted signal number, and the inverse that is multiplied by power normalization parameter at receiving terminal compensates.
Transmitted signal is by realizing at the linear predictive coding of making a start with preequalization matrix multiple, and the precoding vectors of formation is by after channel, and receiving terminal does not need, through detecting, just can directly by demodulation, be transmitted.Preequalization algorithm based on ZF is better at channel condition, and the correlation of channel matrix H hour can effectively have been eliminated the interference between each antenna.

For auxiliary (LR) algorithm of Ge Yuejian, suppose that the transmitting data for different user is a
i, be the lattice point on an integer lattice or half-integer lattice, the cartesian product that transmitting data vector a is these sub-constellation space.So, whole reception constellation point also should be contained in Z

Obviously, the above-mentioned introduction to various precodings, only, for explaining the present invention, is not intended to limit protection scope of the present invention.
S103: base station is carried on transmitting power normalized parameter to send to terminal in downstream signal.
In MIMO communication system, owing at transmitting terminal, the information that will send having been carried out to precoding processing, transmitting power has been carried out to normalized, for BPSK, QPSK, the such phase modulation method of 8PSK, the convergent-divergent of amplitude can not affect the information that phase place is carried, receiving terminal is without knowing just correct hard decision of power normalization parameter, concerning can be not to receiving terminal transmitted power normalized parameter without coded system, but concerning having coded system, can affect the value of soft bit, and then affect decode results.Therefore, 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, and without loss of generality, with base station 4 antennas, the configuring condition of the every user's single antenna of 4 user is example.
As shown in Figure 2, be a kind of descending pilot frequency of TD-LTE existing standard mapping pattern on time-frequency.As embodiments of the invention, transmitting power normalized parameter is carried in down-bound pilot frequency signal and sends to terminal, and in the present embodiment, downstream signal is modulated and sent to terminal by OFDM.In conjunction with concrete condition, can carry out following three steps:
The first step: the β parameter at corresponding pilot tone place is mapped in 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 user, base station 4 antennas should adopt respectively the pilot frequency design shown in Fig. 2, wherein R

2, R
3represent 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 of each antenna is different, this pilot frequency design does not disturb between each antenna.
Second step: be multiplied by respectively the contrary of each independent channel.The pilot signal and the modulated signal that are located at pilot frequency locations are respectively: a={a

Wherein, h
ijthe channel of expression from antenna for base station i to j user antenna, subscript-1 represents to invert, as
the channel of expression from antenna for
base station 1 to user's 1 pilot frequency locations contrary.
The 3rd step: the business datum after precoding processing and pilot signal are mapped to the many antenna transmissions in base station after IFFT processes and go out.
In the above-described embodiments, because each pilot frequency locations is different, do not have interference between each antenna, carrying transmitting power normalized parameter need to take certain system resource, and obviously, in the more situation of user, resource consumption also increases.
In addition, transmitting power normalized parameter can be mapped in pilot tone, and carry out sending to again terminal after precoding processing to shining upon rear described pilot resources.For example, when transmitting power normalized parameter is carried on pilot tone pattern as shown in Figure 3, in conjunction with concrete condition, can carry out following three steps:
The first step: the β parameter at corresponding pilot tone place is mapped in the pilot tone of corresponding pilot frequency locations of each antenna by the pilot frequency design shown in Fig. 3 respectively, wherein R
0represent pilot frequency locations.Because the pilot frequency locations of each antenna is overlapping, between multi-user, exist and disturb, will be by adopting method for precoding to eliminate interference.
Second step: carry out precoding and disturb inhibition to process.After being located at the pilot signal of pilot frequency locations and precoding, signal is respectively: a={a

For other algorithms, so analogize.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: the business datum after precoding processing and pilot signal are mapped to the many antenna transmissions in base station after IFFT processes and go out.
In the above-described embodiments, because each pilot frequency locations is different, do not have interference between each antenna, the system resource that carrying transmitting power normalized parameter need to take is less, and in the situation that user increases, the consumption of system resource can not increase.
In addition, transmitting power normalized parameter can also be carried on business datum signal, now the modulation system of described business datum is constant amplitude phase-modulation.Preferably, can carry out sending to again terminal after precoding processing to the described business datum signal time-frequency domain resources of carrying transmitting power normalized parameter.For example, when transmitting power normalized parameter is carried on pilot tone pattern as shown in Figure 3, in conjunction with concrete condition, can carry out following three steps:
The first step: pilot tone still adopts pilot frequency design mapping as shown in Figure 3, but now pilot frequency locations transmission is no longer the known pilot signal of receiving terminal user, but with the business datum signal of the such constant amplitude phase-modulation of BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK, by these business datum signals, carry out the incidentally β parameter at corresponding running time-frequency resource place.Because the pilot frequency locations of each antenna is overlapping, between multi-user, exist and disturb, need to adopt method for precoding to eliminate and disturb.
Second step: carry out precoding and disturb to suppress process, be located at the business datum signal of pilot frequency locations and precoding after signal be respectively: a={a

For other algorithms, so analogize.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: the business datum after precoding processing and pilot signal are mapped to the many antenna transmissions in base station after IFFT processes and go out.
In the above-described embodiments, due to the place resource transmission of carrying transmitting power normalized parameter be business datum, do not need the extra resource of system that takies, and in the situation that user increases, the utilization of system resource can be not influenced yet.
In the above-described embodiments, the precoding algorithm of employing can be linear algorithm, can be also nonlinear algorithm.Preferably, when described precoding algorithm is linear predictive coding algorithm, described base station is carried on described transmitting power normalized parameter corresponding to described running time-frequency resource in downstream signal, to send to described terminal; When described precoding algorithm is nonlinear precoding algorithm, described base station is carried on the average of described transmitting power normalized parameter corresponding to described running time-frequency resource in downstream signal, to send to described terminal.For example, in the above-described embodiments, all in pilot frequency locations, carry out transmitting power normalized parameter and carry, different, what described pilot frequency locations can be carried is pilot tone, and what also can carry is business datum.Therefore, for linear predictive coding algorithm, the β value that the transmitting power normalized parameter carrying is described pilot frequency locations, for nonlinear precoding algorithm, the transmitting power normalized parameter carrying is the average of described pilot frequency locations β value around.
