More than be introduction, introduce the implementation procedure of transmission of channel quality information below communication system and base station.
Referring to Fig. 5, the method flow of transmission of channel quality information is as follows in the present embodiment:
Step 501: the base station generates the channel-quality feedback instruction, and this channel-quality feedback instruction comprises feedback format, feedback content, data orthogonal spreading sequence call number and Physical Resource Block call number.Which channel quality information is feedback content promptly specifically feed back, as feedback CQI or feedback CQI and PMI etc.Feedback format can comprise feedback content, and different feedback content may need different feedback format.The base station sends feedback format to UE, and UE just knows needs which channel quality information of feedback and with what form feeds back.Can also promptly notify UE feedback format with feedback format and transmission mode binding by sending transmission mode to UE.
Step 502: the base station is to the instruction of UE transmitting channel quality feedback, and indication UE generates channel quality information according to feedback content and data orthogonal spreading sequence call number, and feeds back on Physical Resource Block call number corresponding physical Resource Block according to feedback format; Wherein, send in the channel-quality feedback instruction of different UEs and carry different data orthogonal spreading sequence call numbers, the channel quality information that a plurality of UE generate transmits in same Physical Resource Block.
If communication system is only supported a kind of data orthogonal spreading sequence of length, then can for all available data orthogonal spreading sequences data orthogonal spreading sequence call number be set in advance, base station and UE all preserve the corresponding relation of each data orthogonal spreading sequence call number and data orthogonal spreading sequence.The bit number that data orthogonal spreading sequence call number takies in signaling is
K is the quantity of available data orthogonal spreading sequence,
Expression rounds up.
If communication system is supported the data orthogonal spreading sequence of multiple length, then the base station also needs to send spread spectrum coefficient (SF) to UE, promptly sends data orthogonal spreading sequence length.The bit number that data orthogonal spreading sequence length takies in signaling is
M is the sum of the spread spectrum coefficient of communication system support.A kind of data orthogonal spreading sequence of length can only be supported in each sub-district, also can support the data orthogonal spreading sequence of multiple length.Referring to shown in Figure 6, different resource pool (carrying constitutes a resource pool with a kind of PRB of data orthogonal spreading sequence of length) can corresponding different spread spectrum coefficients, and N1, N2 and N3 represent the resource original position of 3 resource pools.Can adopt the absolute coding mode between the resource pool.Absolute coding is meant the coding of each resource pool all since 1 (or 0), and this kind mode need be notified the original position (as N2 etc.) of this resource pool of UE.
If communication system adopts a fixing PRB transmission of channel quality information, then the base station does not need to send PRB information to UE, and by configuration, two ends know in advance that all which PRB is used for transmission of channel quality information.
If communication system adopts fixing a plurality of PRB transmission of channel quality information, then the base station need send the PRB call number to UE, indication UE transmission of channel quality information on the PRB of PRB call number sign.The bit number that the PRB call number takies in signaling is
B is the quantity of all available PRB.What more than PRB call number of Jie Shaoing and data orthogonal spreading sequence call number adopted is the absolute coding mode, and call number is separately promptly arranged respectively.PRB call number and data orthogonal spreading sequence call number can number be represented by joint index, promptly adopt the combined coding mode.As the PRB call number by PRB

jCarry out spread spectrum.
If communication system does not adopt fixing PRB transmission of channel quality information, then the base station need send the PRB call number to UE, indication UE transmission of channel quality information on the PRB of PRB call number sign.Spread spectrum coefficient, PRB call number and data orthogonal spreading sequence call number also can combined codings, and method is with the combined coding of PRB call number and data orthogonal spreading sequence call number.
The base station can also send feedback cycle and skew to UE, unite in feedback sign, frequency hopping sign and the demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number one or multinomial.
If wish the periodic feedback channel quality information, then the base station also needs to send feedback cycle and skew to UE.For example, pick up counting from 0ms, skew is 2, and feedback cycle is 10, then indicates UE from 2ms, channel quality information of every 10ms feedback.Different channel quality informations can corresponding different feedback cycle and skews.Perhaps, preestablish one group of channel quality information corresponding identical feedback cycle and skew, the base station only needs to send to UE the feedback cycle and the skew of a channel quality information, and UE just knows feedback cycle and the skew corresponding with other channel quality information of one group of this channel quality information.
Channel quality information can also feed back to the base station with other uplink feedback information, uplink feedback information such as correct response/errored response (ACK/NACK), detection reference signal (SRS), dispatch request (SR) etc.If communication system is promptly supported the associating feedback, support feedback respectively again, then whether the base station indicates UE channel quality information can be fed back with other uplink feedback information by sending to UE to unite to feed back to identify, as unite the feedback be designated 0 the expression cannot feed back together, be 1 the expression can feed back together.
A plurality of UE are in a PRB during transmission of channel quality information, if communication system is only supported the frequency hopping transmission or only support non-frequency hopping transmission that then the base station can not need to send the frequency hopping sign to UE; If communication system is supported this dual mode, then the base station identifies to represent whether adopt frequency hopping by sending frequency hopping to UE.
If it is a plurality of that the demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence has, then for a plurality of demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequences a plurality of different demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call numbers are set in advance.Base station and terminal are all preserved the corresponding relation of demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number and demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence.The base station sends to UE with demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number, and UE just can carry out spread spectrum to frequency pilot sign according to the demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence of demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number correspondence, and with the demodulation pilot frequency mapping behind the spread spectrum to PRB.The spread spectrum of frequency pilot sign comprises frequency domain spread spectrum and time domain spread spectrum, referring to shown in Figure 8.Different demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequences can be realized by the cyclic shift of a cyclically shifted sequences.If a demodulation pilot frequency takies a plurality of OFDMs (OFDM) symbol transmission, then can on the basis of frequency domain spread spectrum, carry out the time domain spread spectrum again.
Perhaps, the base station can not send demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number to UE yet, and UE can determine demodulation pilot frequency frequency expansion sequence call number by data orthogonal spreading sequence call number.In UE, preserve data orthogonal spreading sequence call number (r
