Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the flow chart of method for generating codebooks of the present invention, as shown in Figure 1, may further comprise the steps:
Step 100: obtain initial codebook set and feedback.
In this step, the Basic codebook that is proposed with present each big standard (as 3GPP LTE, IEEE802.16m etc.) is initial codebook matrix set.Roughly comprise:
At first, utilize existing singular value decomposition (SVD) technology to decompose to estimate the channel condition information obtain at receiving terminal, decomposition method as shown in Equation (1):
H=U∑V
H (1)
Wherein, U and V are orthogonal matrixes, and V is the initial codebook set, ∑=diag (λ
1, λ
2λ
n) be the diagonal matrix that constitutes by singular value.
Then, according to the antenna configurations that system supported and the number of code stream, the V matrix in the formula (1) is quantized back its call number of feedback, the selection of code book collection is a foundation with the code book set of existing document or standard, repeats no more here.
Step 101: according to the channel performance information of estimating to obtain, decision is revised in real time to initial codebook.
In this step, estimate that the channel performance obtain is serves as to upgrade granularity or the cycle is estimated the statistic property of system with the time in the concrete system, such as to Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR, Signal-to-Interference-Pulse-Noise Ratio) statistic property is estimated, to signal to noise ratio (snr), the estimation of statistic properties such as BER etc.Wherein, can adopt existing algorithm, repeat no more here the estimation of statistic properties such as SNR, BER.The present invention also proposes a kind of statistic property to SINR and estimates.
The estimation of SINR is carried out at each code stream, at receiving terminal its SINR is estimated, because the precoding vector of each code stream is all different, therefore, can adopt formula (2) that the SINR of each code stream is calculated:
Wherein, SINR
i(n) SINR of n code stream of i user of expression, H
iWith
Be respectively i user's channel matrix and noise power, V
i(n) be precoding codebook vector, V at n code stream of user i
i(:) is the precoding codebook vector of user i except that n code stream.V
kBe the precoding codebook vector of interference user, K is the number of all interference users.
When the performance statistics result who is obtained by formula (2) estimation is undesirable, promptly adopt the SINR of formula (2) to user i
i(n) estimation result, the SINR value between any two code streams (as n and m) should satisfy the condition shown in the formula (3):
|SINR
i(n)-SINR
i(m)|≤ε (3)
Wherein, ε is a default smaller value, the energy difference between any two code streams that expression allows.
When the SINR value between any two code streams that estimation obtains did not satisfy formula (3), the present invention proposed to introduce the code book correction matrix basic codebook matrix (being the initial codebook set) is revised, and specific implementation can adopt following two kinds of methods.
Method one: adopt correction matrix to initial codebook set revise, modification method as shown in Equation (4):
k=0,1,2,…N
t-1 (4)
Wherein, V is original initial codebook set, and P is a correction matrix, and k is a modifying factor, N
tBe number of transmit antennas,
Be revised new code book set.
The order of supposing channel matrix is n, and then correction matrix P can be the square formation of one n * n, as shown in Equation (5):
Be 0 when modifying factor k is initial, when the SINR that estimates for the first time was discontented with pedal system demand (promptly not satisfying formula (3)), k increased progressively 1, otherwise k continues to remain 0, and the rest may be inferred.As can be seen, whether at this moment, only needing 1 bit of increase to feed back the k value needs to increase progressively to get final product.Along with the judgement of phase weekly adds up or keeps, make all code streams on all available antennas, to be rotated and obtain best spatial sub-channel.The present invention is based on the method for designing of the codebook matrix correction of Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio, under the situation that only increases the 1bit feedback overhead, guaranteed that code stream abundant search in spatial domain is fit to the transmission subchannel of self.
Method two: the SINR to each road carries out balance, makes the difference of the SINR between each code stream dwindle as far as possible, and the present invention carries out balanced simple thinking to different code streams, has realized the balance of the error rate between code stream by simple method.Concrete grammar is as follows:
For order is 2 situation, modification method as shown in Equation (6):
In the formula (6), θ is a selectable angle, and span is 0≤θ<pi/2, determine according to the condition number of channel of H matrix, and conditional number is big more, and value approaches pi/2 more.V is original initial codebook set,
Be revised new code book set.
For order greater than 2 situation, modification method as shown in Equation (7):
Wherein, the increment factor Δ satisfies
It is an adjustable factors.θ is a selectable angle, and span is 0≤θ<pi/2, determine according to the condition number of channel of H matrix, and conditional number is big more, and value approaches pi/2 more.V is original initial codebook set,
Be revised new code book set.
From the adaptive codebook generation method that the present invention is based on the code book correction as seen, on the basis that does not change existing code book basis matrix, performance statistics characteristic according to system, generated one group of new code book correction matrix, and consider original initial codebook set is revised in conjunction with feedback overhead, adjusted the precision of code book in time according to the real-time change of channel, under the very little situation of feedback overhead increase, expanded the capacity of code book, improved the precision of code book, thereby under the situation of Limited Feedback, improved the performance of precoding more effectively.
In addition, when adopting SINR to estimate that convergence rate estimation complexity slow or SINR is big, can adopt prior art that every data flow SNR is estimated.
If the estimation in this step is the estimation at the SNR statistic property, so, after adopting prior art that every data flow SNR is estimated, the SNR between any two code streams (as n and m) should satisfy formula (8):
|SNR
i(n)-SNR
i(m)|≤ε′ (8)
Wherein ε ' is default smaller value, the energy difference between any two code streams that expression allows.When the SNR value between any two code streams that estimation obtains does not satisfy formula (8), still can adopt the described method of said method one and method two that initial codebook is gathered and revise.
If the estimation in this step is the estimation at the BER statistic property, so, can only obtain the situation of BER for single data stream or other, when the system BER that adopts existing method statistic to go out is higher than a certain threshold value that sets in advance, adopt following method that initial codebook set is revised, as formula (9):
k=0,1,2,…N
t-1 (9)
Wherein, V is original initial codebook set, and Φ is a correction matrix, and k is a modifying factor, N
tBe number of transmit antennas.
Be revised new code book set, correction matrix Φ is shown in formula (10) formula:
Wherein, n is the order of channel, N
tBe number of transmit antennas.
At the inventive method, a kind of code book generating apparatus also is provided, comprise initial codebook set generation unit,, estimation unit, comparing unit and amending unit, wherein,
Initial codebook set generation unit is used to obtain initial codebook set and feedback, and amending unit is exported in the initial codebook set that obtains.
Estimation unit is used to estimate channel performance information, and exports to comparing unit.
Comparing unit is used for according to from the channel performance information of estimation unit, and when estimating that difference between any two code streams that obtain does not satisfy default non-correction conditions, the correction result notice that sends to amending unit needs correction for showing; When the difference between any two code streams of estimating to obtain satisfied default non-correction conditions, the correction result notice that sends to amending unit did not need correction for showing.
Amending unit is used to receive the correction result notice from comparing unit, when the correction result notice when showing that needs are revised, revise gathering, and export revised code book and gather from the initial codebook of initial codebook set generation unit; When the correction result notice does not need to revise for showing, will gather the initial codebook set of generation unit as code book set output from initial codebook.
