Preferably, limit base station cooperation emission port sum and only get limited kind of possibility.
Preferably, the method that adopts transmitting antenna to merge is mapped to single emission port with many antennas.
For the simplified system design, can limit base station cooperation emission port sum and only get limited kind of possibility.Such as, base station cooperation emission port sum has only 3 kinds of possibilities, 4 ports, 8 ports and 12 ports.Like this, during multi-antenna multi-base station cooperation emission, only need predefined 4 ports, 8 ports and 3 kinds of schemes of 12 ports to get final product.
It is pointed out that present embodiment to the cooperation launching technique of multi-antenna multi-base station system without any qualification, for example, can adopt in the transmission means of 7 kinds of downlink datas of LTE system any one or multiple.
Also it is pointed out that in addition for the total emission power that keeps the base station constant, on the emission port of choosing that the power of the unchecked emission port in base station need be added to.But this may cause the antenna transmission power overload of base station.This mainly is because in real system, the transmitting power of antenna can only change in limited range, on certain root antenna, will cause signal to cut problems such as flat distortion if superfluous power is added to.
In order to address this problem, the method that can adopt transmitting antenna to merge:, merge by the mode of launching weighting, thereby many antennas are mapped on the single emission port with many antennas of base station.Referring to non-patent literature 5:3GPP, R1-092427, " CSI-RS Design forVirtualized LTE Antenna in LTE-A System ", Fujitsu (3GPP document, numbering: R1-092427, " the antenna virtual map in the design of LTE-A system reference signal ", Fujitsu).The enforcement schematic diagram of this method as shown in figure 25.

Table 4: transmitting antenna is merged into the mapping table (4 antenna base station) of emission port
Table 5: transmitting antenna is merged into the mapping table (8 antenna base station) of emission port
Need to prove that when the transmitting antenna shown in employing table 4 or the table 5 was merged into the mapping table of emission port, the selection of emission port was conditional, promptly emission port must travel through all transmitting antennas, could guarantee the power-balance of transmitting antenna.Such as, when carrying out the emission port selection based on table 4, port 0 and port one, port 2 and port 3, port 4 and port 5 must be selected in pairs, just can make emission port travel through all transmitting antennas, thereby guarantee the power-balance of transmitting antenna.
Perhaps, in conjunction with the present invention, for the transmitting power of balancing antenna, also can the predefined transmitting antenna transmitting antenna of traversal to the merging mapping table of emission port, shown in table 6 (4 antenna base station) or table 7 (8 antenna base station):
Table 6: transmitting antenna is merged into the mapping table (4 antenna base station) of emission port
Table 7: transmitting antenna is merged into the mapping table (8 antenna base station) of emission port
Need to prove, when the transmitting antenna shown in employing table 6 or the table 7 is merged into the mapping table of emission port, the selection of emission port without limits, this be because emission port traveled through all transmitting antennas, guaranteed the power-balance of transmitting antenna.
