Background technology
Senior Long Term Evolution (LTE-Advanced) system is a kind of Novel movable communication system that grows up in Long Term Evolution (LTE) system-based, and it has adopted the multi-carrier polymerizing technology, is multi-carrier aggregation system.
Different from the LTE system is that multi-carrier aggregation system can be supported the system bandwidth wider than LTE system, for example, supports the bandwidth of 100MHz.Particularly, multi-carrier aggregation system couples together use by the resource with a plurality of member carriers, realizes supporting the system bandwidth wider than LTE system.
Multi-carrier aggregation system realizes that the method for carrier aggregation comprises: a plurality of continuous member carriers are carried out polymerization, perhaps, a plurality of discontinuous member carriers are carried out polymerization.
Fig. 1 is the multi-carrier polymerizing schematic diagram in the multi-carrier aggregation system, and as seen from Figure 1, the system bandwidth of the continuous carrier that is aggregated into by the member carrier of a plurality of dispersions is higher than the system bandwidth of the member carrier of any one dispersion.
In general, in the LTE system, the upstream bandwidth demand is suitable with the downlink bandwidth demand, and therefore, uplink member carrier is identical with the downlink member carrier number, also, and uplink member carrier that each downlink member carrier is corresponding.And in multi-carrier aggregation system, the downlink bandwidth demand is larger than upstream bandwidth demand, the number of downlink member carrier is greater than the number of uplink member carrier, multi-carrier aggregation system is supported the system bandwidth wider than LTE system by a plurality of downlink member carriers being carried out corresponding uplink member carrier after the polymerization.
In the LTE system, subscriber equipment (UE) can only be linked on the member carrier, in order to realize the system compatible with LTE, in multi-carrier aggregation system, also requires UE can only be linked on the member carrier in the multi-carrier aggregation system.Because in multi-carrier aggregation system, therefore the number of downlink member carrier, a plurality of UE may occur and be on the different downlink member carriers more than the number of uplink member carrier, still, they are linked into the situation of same uplink member carrier.
In multi-carrier aggregation system, in order to reduce the peak-to-average force ratio of descending moulding signal, need to be the different different cell IDs (Cell ID) of downlink member carrier configuration, because in multi-carrier aggregation system, the UE that is positioned on the different downlink member carriers may be linked on the same uplink member carrier, the different situation of Cell ID that each UE on the same uplink member carrier therefore, may occur.
Fig. 2 is the schematic diagram of two corresponding same uplink member carrier of downlink member carrier in the present multi-carrier aggregation system.
As shown in Figure 2, downlink member carrier 0 and downlink member carrier 1 equal corresponding uplink member carrier 0, wherein, the Cell ID of downlink member carrier 0 is PCI A, the Cell ID of downlink member carrier 1 is PCI B, as seen, the UE that existing corresponding Cell ID is PCI A on the up-link carrier 0, it is the UE of PCI B that corresponding Cell ID is arranged again.
In LTE system and multi-carrier aggregation system, UE needs the Cell ID according to its downlink member carrier that accesses, select corresponding uplink reference signals, the uplink reference signals of selecting is issued the base station, uplink channel estimation is carried out according to the uplink reference signals that UE sends in the base station, for example, estimate ascending control channel (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH), detectable signal (Sounding Reference Signal, SRS) channel and Uplink Shared Channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, PUSCH) etc.
Through constantly perfect, the LTE system has developed into LTE version 8(LTE Release8 at present) system.
In LTE version 8 systems, be set with altogether 30 uplink reference signals sequence set, its reference signal sequence group ID is respectively the integer in 0 to 29.UE is according to the Cell ID of its downlink member carrier of living in and current time slots number, from above-mentioned 30 uplink reference signals sequence set, in the selected uplink reference signals sequence set, from this selected uplink reference signals sequence set, select uplink reference signals to issue the base station.Particularly, UE selects the uplink reference signals sequence set according to formula 1:
u=(f
gh(n

In the formula 1, u is uplink reference signals sequence set ID, i.e. root sequence index, f

In order to realize the compatibility with LTE version 8 systems, the design of each carrier wave in the multi-carrier aggregation system (being member's carrier wave) need to be identical with the design of carrier wave in LTE version 8 systems, can work at each member carrier of multi-carrier aggregation system with the terminal that guarantees LTE version 8, and multi-carrier aggregation system adopts the method identical with the LTE system to estimate up channel.
By such scheme as seen, to choose which uplink reference signals sequence set only relevant with the Cell ID of UE place downlink member carrier for UE.In LTE version 8 systems, the corresponding uplink member carrier of downlink member carrier, can guarantee that Cell ID corresponding to UE on the same uplink member carrier is identical, therefore, UE on the same uplink member carrier uses the uplink reference signals in the same uplink reference signals sequence set, the base station is distinguished each UE according to the uplink reference signals that UE sends by cyclic shift, and then carries out uplink channel estimation.Because the orthogonality in the same uplink reference signals sequence set between each uplink reference signals is better, therefore, the base station can distinguish each UE in the same up-link carrier preferably, thereby so that the accuracy of uplink channel estimation is higher.
In multi-carrier aggregation system, the uplink reference signals group that each UE selects is well-determined by the Cell ID of downlink member carrier, therefore, the requisite step that Cell ID is UE selection uplink reference signals is given for each downlink member carrier in the base station.At present, how Cell ID for downlink member carrier gives, also there is not at present concrete technical scheme, if arbitrarily give, the situation that then may occur is, when the UE in the same residential quarter on each downlink member carrier selected uplink reference signals at the Cell ID according to its place downlink member carrier, the uplink reference signals of selecting was from different uplink reference signals groups.
Because the orthogonality between the uplink reference signals in the different uplink reference signals sequence set is relatively poor, therefore, it is relatively poor that the accuracy of each UE in the same up-link carrier is distinguished in the base station, thereby the accuracy that causes carrying out uplink channel estimation is relatively poor.
