Below in conjunction with five embodiment the inventive method is described in detail.
Suppose that in the LTE-A system comprise a base station and several relay stations in the sub-district, these relay stations do not have independently PCID.The base station sends CSI-RS with certain duty ratio, and the length of this duty ratio is configurable, such as can being 2ms, or 5ms, or 10ms, or 20ms etc., also be per 2 subframes in base station, perhaps 5 subframes, perhaps 10 subframes, perhaps 20 subframes send a CSI-RS etc.(relaying ID is different with PCID for ID, identity) information, and relaying ID is used for distinguishing the different relay stations of same sub-district to suppose each relay station in the current area to have the relaying sign.
Fig. 4 is the sub-frame configuration schematic diagram of CSI-RS in the embodiment of the invention one.Among the embodiment one, suppose that there are 8 antenna ports the base station, also corresponding 8 ports of corresponding C SI-RS, the CSI-RS of each port be mutually orthogonal be that the CSI-RS of each port does not disturb mutually.In embodiment one, suppose to comprise in the current area 3 relay stations, each relay station all disposes 8 antenna ports.
The transmission cycle of supposing the CSI-RS of the current configuration in base station is 20ms, the 0 work song frame of base station in each transmission cycle sends CSI-RS, as shown in Figure 4, the subframe position of base station transmission CSI-RS is filled with left oblique line and is represented, an interior subframe of transmission cycle is numbered 0~19.The transmission of relay station CSI-RS is configured by the base station, is implemented as follows.
The base station to the measurement demand of the link of UE and the relay station quantity in the current area, determines that relay station sends the configuration information of CSI-RS and indicates to relay station according to transmission cycle of self CSI-RS and relay station.This configuration information can be carried at the base station and issue in the control information that relay station sends.
In embodiment one, it is that 20ms sends CSI-RS that relay station adopts the transmission cycle identical with the base station.Be specially, in Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) (FDD, Frequency Division Duplex) pattern, relay station and base station, and send CSI-RS with identical sub-frame interval between each relay station; In time division duplex (TDD, Time Division Duplexing) pattern, relay station sends the position reasonable disposition of the subframe position of CSI-RS according to descending sub frame.
Suppose that the base station sends CSI-RS in subframe 0, if current system is the FDD duplex mode, then the base station is configured in respectively in subframe 5,10 and 15 according to 3 its CSI-RS transmission positions of relay station ID number big young pathbreaker in the current area, as Fig. 4, fill with right oblique line filling, horizontal line filling and vertical line respectively and represent; If current system is the TDD mode, because no matter which kind of form is the subframe uplink-downlink configuration of present frame be, subframe 5,10 and 15 all is a descending sub frame, then the base station is configured in respectively in subframe 5,10 and 15 according to its CSI-RS transmission position of 3 relay station ID numbers big young pathbreakers in the current area, as Fig. 4, fill with right oblique line filling, horizontal line filling and vertical line respectively and represent.The good above-mentioned relay station of base station configuration sends after the configuration information of CSI-RS, is handed down to each relay station by Downlink Control Information.As shown in Figure 4, it all is 20ms that the base station in the current area and each relay station CSI-RS send the cycle, but to be equivalent to be the transmission cycle of 5ms to all these CSI-RS in the current area.
Further, the base station can be 5ms to the transmission cycle of LTE-A UE indication current C SI-RS, and CSI-RS is configured in the subframe 0 and 5 in each radio frames.Like this, the CSI-RS that has guaranteed relay station is transparent for LTE-A UE, that is to say, LTE-A UE is unaware of the CSI-RS that receives in the subframe 0 and 5 in the current configuration and comes from the base station, still come from relay station, avoided the identification of LTE-AUE, reduced and introduced the influence of relay station for the UE design for relay station.
Receive the configuration information that sends CSI-RS from the relay station of base station at relay station, each relay station in the current area sends CSI-RS respectively in subframe 5,10 and 15.In the present embodiment one, for transparent for LTE-A UE of the CSI-RS that guarantees relay station, the CSI-RS that relay station sends can adopt identical sequence and identical pattern with the CSI-RS of base station transmission.

The transmission cycle of supposing the CSI-RS of current base station configuration is 10ms, the 0 work song frame of base station in each radio frames sends CSI-RS, as shown in Figure 5, the subframe position of base station transmission CSI-RS is filled with left oblique line and is represented, the interior subframe of radio frames is numbered 0~9.The transmission of relay station CSI-RS is configured by the base station, is implemented as follows.
The base station to the measurement demand of the link of UE and the relay station quantity in the current area, determines that relay station sends the configuration information of CSI-RS and indicates to relay station according to transmission cycle of self CSI-RS and relay station.This configuration information can be carried at the base station and issue in the control information that relay station sends.
In embodiment two, it is that 10ms sends CSI-RS that relay station adopts the transmission cycle identical with the base station.Be specially, in the FDD mode, relay station and base station, and send CSI-RS with identical sub-frame interval between each relay station; In the TDD mode, relay station sends the subframe position of CSI-RS according to descending sub frame position reasonable disposition.
Suppose that the base station sends CSI-RS in subframe 0, if current system is the FDD mode, then the base station is configured in respectively in subframe 2,4,6 and 8 according to its CSI-RS transmission position of 4 relay station ID numbers big young pathbreakers in the current area, as Fig. 5 (a), fill with right oblique line filling, horizontal line filling, vertical line filling and positive lattice respectively and represent.If current system is the TDD mode, and the subframe uplink-downlink configuration employing collocation form 2 with present frame in the present embodiment two is an example, then the base station sends position according to its CSI-RS of 4 relay station ID numbers big young pathbreakers in the current area and is configured in respectively in 4 descending sub frames outside the subframe 0, in descending sub frame 3,4,5 and 8, as Fig. 5 (b), fill with right oblique line filling, horizontal line filling, vertical line filling and positive lattice respectively and represent.The good above-mentioned relay station of base station configuration sends after the configuration information of CSI-RS, is handed down to each relay station by Downlink Control Information.As shown in Figure 5, the transmission cycle of CSI-RS is the equal of 2ms (a FDD mode) in the current area.
