For the ease of understanding device and method described in the invention, below by specific embodiment, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.In the first embodiment, the maximum number of layers of system support is divided into two groups, between two groups, carries out code division multiplexing, carry out frequency division and/or time division multiplexing in same group.In second and third embodiment, the maximum number of layers of system support is divided into four groups, between group, adopt code division multiplexing, in group, adopt frequency division and/or time division multiplexing.In the following embodiments, all describe as an example of LTE R8 normal cyclic prefix length example.
The first embodiment
Fig. 2 a, Fig. 2 b and Fig. 2 c illustrated respectively when the maximum number of layers of system be 8 but in different actual use number of layers situation, the mapping mode of demodulation pilot frequency in two adjacent Resource Block.
In the present embodiment, the number of layers of the actual use of system is 8, and by layer, { 1,2,3,4} is divided into one group, and { 5,6,7,8} is divided into one group to layer, and same group is carried out frequency division multiplexing, and the different layers between group carries out code division multiplexing.The layer corresponding relation that carries out code division multiplexing in two groups is: { 1,5} carries out code division multiplexing to layer, and { 2,6} carries out code division multiplexing to layer, and { 3,7} carries out code division multiplexing to layer, and { 4,8} carries out code division multiplexing to layer, and in this situation, CDM code length is 2.In the present embodiment, Resource Block is that the mode while adopting LTE normal cyclic prefix defines.
With layer, { these two layers of 1,5}, for reference, illustrate the feature of the present embodiment.Due to layer, { 1,5} carries out code division multiplexing, and the resource location that they take is identical.In k RB, { 1,5} is the 6th and the 7th OFDM symbol in the Resource Unit position of odd number time slot and even number Time Slot Occupancy in time domain to layer.And be the 2nd and the 10th Resource Unit (subcarrier) of the corresponding OFDM symbol of this Resource Block at frequency domain even number time slot, odd number time slot is the 6th subcarrier of the corresponding OFDM symbol of this Resource Block.Obviously the density of even number time slot is greater than the density of odd number time slot.
In order to make the density of odd even time slot suitable, on k+1 Resource Block, keep in the constant situation of the time-domain symbol that takies, become the 6th subcarrier of this Resource Block in the mapping position of the demodulation pilot frequency of frequency domain even number time slot, identical with the odd number time slot of k Resource Block; Mapping position at the demodulation pilot frequency of odd number time slot becomes the 2nd and the 10th Resource Unit, identical with the even number time slot of k Resource Block.

Now, with layer, { this group of 1,2,5,6} layer of carrying out code division multiplexing is for reference to feature of the present invention is described.In k RB, layer { 1,2,5,6} is the 6th and the 7th OFDM symbol in the Resource Unit position of odd number time slot and even number Time Slot Occupancy in time domain, and is the 2nd of the corresponding OFDM symbol of this Resource Block at frequency domain even number time slot, the 3 and the 10th, 11 Resource Units (subcarrier), odd number time slot is the 6th of the corresponding OFDM symbol of this Resource Block, 7 subcarriers.
In order to make the density of odd even time slot suitable, on k+1 Resource Block, keep in the constant situation of the time-domain symbol that takies, become the 6th of this Resource Block in the mapping position of the demodulation pilot frequency of frequency domain even number time slot, 7 Resource Units are identical with the odd number time slot of k Resource Block; Mapping position at the demodulation pilot frequency of odd number time slot becomes the 2nd, and the 3 and the 10th, 11 Resource Units are identical with the even number time slot of k Resource Block.
For layer, { 3,4,7,8} similarly processes.
In another embodiment, above-mentioned grouping can be also that { 1,2,5,7} is divided into one group to layer, and { 3,4,6,8} is divided into another group to layer.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3 b, illustrated that the maximum number of layers of system support is at 8 o'clock, but the actual situation that only uses 4 layers, by layer, { 1,2} is divided into one group, { 3,4} is divided into another group to layer, and this kind of situation is the subset of situation shown in Fig. 3 a, Ji Cizhong situation lower floor 1~4 during completely according to situation shown in Fig. 3 a 1~4 layer of mapping of layer identical, difference, because layer 5~8 does not exist, therefore only has layer { between 1,2}, to carry out code division multiplexing, layer { carries out code division multiplexing between 3,4}; Between two groups, carry out frequency division and/or time division multiplexing.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3 c, illustrated that the maximum number of layers of system support is at 8 o'clock, but the actual situation that only uses 2 layers, this kind of situation is the subset of situation shown in Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, and { 1,2} belongs to one group to layer, shines upon between two-layer in the mode of code division multiplexing.
