As shown in Figure 2, the method for the scheduling of resource of the feedback information that proposes for the present invention may further comprise the steps:
S101: queue order is carried out to the minimum PRB numbering of user's PUSCH transfer resource in the base station.
In step S101, for fear of existing outside the larger band and disturb for having identical DMRS sequence between the adjacent user of two resources, thereby affect the performance of demodulation, at first sorting to the PUSCH transfer resource of distributing to the user in the base station, carries out queue order by the minimum PRB numbering to the PUSCH transfer resource.
For example, the minimum PRB with each user's PUSCH transfer resource numbers ascending ordering: I PRB _ RA , 1 lowest _ index < I PRB _ RA , 2 lowest _ index < &CenterDot; &CenterDot; &CenterDot; < I PRB _ RA , N lowest _ index , Perhaps

Expression is to I PRB_RA, j Lowest_index/ N PHICH GroupRound described parameter pair downwards PHICH j = ( n PHICH , j group , n PHICH , j seq ) Indicate the PHICH resource of described correspondence.
S103: other users that the base station is followed successively by in the formation select an index value that is different from the DMRS sequence of previous usefulness corpse, and calculate corresponding PHICH resource according to this user's minimum PRB numbering with the index value of DMRS sequence.
In step S103, other users that the base station is followed successively by in the formation choose suitable DMRS sequence.Different in order to guarantee the DMRS sequence between the adjacent user of two resources, for example, with respect to the index value n of the DMRS sequence of previous user-selected usefulness DMRS, j ', the index value of a rear user's DMRS sequence is taken as (n DMRS, j '+ 1) mod (T), wherein T is the number of available DMRS sequence.As other embodiment of the present invention, for example, the index value of a rear user's DMRS sequence can also be (n DMRS, j '+ 2) mod (T), perhaps (n DMRS, j '+ 3) mod (T) obviously, also is applicable to the present invention as long as can guarantee other the different values of DMRS sequence between the adjacent user of two resources, for example from except n DMRS, j 'Outside the index value of DMRS sequence in select at random.Thereafter, the base station is calculated corresponding PHICH resource according to described user's minimum PRB numbering with the index value of DMRS sequence, and the formula of calculating is the right computing formula of the parameter of the PHICH among the step S102.
When the corresponding PHICH resource that calculates as other users in the PHICH resource corresponding according to this user's minimum PRB numbering and the index value calculating of DMRS sequence and the formation is identical, a DMRS sequence will be chosen again for this user in the base station, recomputate corresponding PHICH resource.For example, with respect to the index value of the DMRS sequence of this user-selected usefulness before be
Figure G2009100838484D00121
The index value of the DMRS sequence that the base station will be chosen for this user is Wherein T is the number of available DMRS sequence.As other embodiment of the present invention, for example, the index value of the DMRS sequence that the base station will be chosen for this user can also for
Figure G2009100838484D00123
Perhaps
Figure G2009100838484D00124
Obviously, this needs still to guarantee that to choosing of the index value of DMRS sequence the DMRS sequence between the adjacent user of two resources is different, for example from removing
Figure G2009100838484D00125
Outside the index value of DMRS sequence in select at random.Thereafter the base station is calculated corresponding PHICH resource according to this user's minimum PRB numbering with the index value of DMRS sequence, until the PHICH resource of the correspondence that calculates is different from the PHICH resource of the correspondence that other users calculate in the formation.If travel through all DMRS sequences that does not comprise its Adjacent resource user, the base station is calculated corresponding PHICH resource according to this user's minimum PRB numbering with the index value of DMRS sequence, still identical with the corresponding PHICH resource that calculates of other users in the formation, namely still can not avoid the conflict of PHICH resource, then this user's scheduling failure, the base station will abandon this user is dispatched.
As embodiments of the invention, the DMRS sequence in the said method is as shown in table 3, and namely available DMRS sequence is that 3 bit informations represent.
In order further to set forth the present invention, the below illustrates the judgement flow process that applies the present invention in the concrete system.
