Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a multi-input multi-output mode switching method and terminal equipment.
Background
In order to obtain higher spectral efficiency and system capacity, cellular mobile communication systems of the super-Third Generation mobile communication system (B3G, Beyond Third Generation in mobile communication system) and the fourth Generation mobile communication system (4G, Forth Generation in mobile communication system) represented by Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) systems based on Long Term Evolution (LTE) generally employ multiple-Input multiple-Output (MIMO) technology, which can be divided into two modes, an open-loop MIMO mode and a closed-loop MIMO mode, when a terminal device (UE) is in the closed-loop mode, a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI) is continuously reported to a base station, so that the PMI of the base station can weight each antenna for transmitting data according to a selected weighting matrix of the UE, when the UE is in the open-loop mode, the PMI is not reported to the base station, the base station does not have weighted value or adds random weighted value to the data transmitted by each antenna, although the closed loop MIMO mode can obtain higher spectrum efficiency compared with the open loop MIMO mode, because the channel condition in the system is changed, the system can not adopt the closed loop MIMO mode all the time, but can only self-adaptively switch the open loop MIMO mode and the closed loop MIMO mode according to the channel condition.
In the prior art, a B3G/4G cellular mobile communication system implements a procedure for adaptively switching an open-loop MIMO mode and a closed-loop MIMO mode according to channel conditions, which is specifically as follows:
after the UE accesses the network, the base station judges whether the UE has the possibility of entering the closed-loop MIMO mode according to preset conditions (such as channel quality), if so, the UE is required to feed back a PMI to the base station, the base station processes the PMI fed back by the UE, whether the UE can enter the closed-loop MIMO mode is judged according to the processing result, if not, the base station indicates the UE to stop feeding back the PMI, if so, the base station indicates the UE to enter the closed-loop MIMO mode, the base station continues to process the PMI fed back by the UE until the judgment result that the UE cannot enter the closed-loop MIMO mode is obtained, and the base station indicates the UE.
Although the base station may determine in advance whether the UE may enter the closed-loop MIMO mode, and then require the UE to feed back the PMI to the base station, a result of the PMI processing performed by the base station may still be that the UE cannot enter the closed-loop MIMO mode, so that the PMI fed back by the UE to the base station wastes air interface spectrum resources.

Detailed Description
The embodiment of the invention provides a method for switching a multi-input multi-output mode, and further provides corresponding terminal equipment, which are respectively described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for switching between MIMO modes, where a UE is capable of determining whether to switch from an open-loop MIMO mode to a closed-loop MIMO mode, and the method includes:
101. acquiring a first optimal precoding matrix;
in the MIMO system, for the configuration of each transmit antenna, a set of Precoding Matrices (PMs) may be established, and both the base station and the UE know the set, where the set of matrices is referred to as MIMO codebook, and once the codebook used by the MIMO system is determined, the UE observes the channel condition and selects an optimal Precoding Matrix.
The method for acquiring the optimal precoding matrix by the UE comprises the following two steps:
1. the UE uses each precoding matrix in the codebook to match with an actual air interface Channel according to a certain rule, and selects a precoding matrix with the best matching effect, namely an optimal precoding matrix according to Channel State Information (CSI). The UE may determine a matching effect between the precoding matrix and the actual air interface channel according to the error probability or throughput of the system, and when the error probability or throughput of the system is the minimum or the throughput is the maximum, the matching effect between the precoding matrix that is currently matched and the actual air interface channel is considered to be the best, and the precoding matrix is the optimal precoding matrix.
2. The UE may also obtain the optimal precoding matrix by direct calculation, for example, the UE may first perform Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or eigenvalue Decomposition using a covariance matrix or a channel matrix to obtain a precoding matrix. If the codebook has the precoding matrix, the precoding matrix is the optimal precoding matrix, and if the codebook does not have the precoding matrix, the UE searches the codebook for the precoding matrix most similar to the calculated precoding matrix, and takes the precoding matrix found from the codebook as the optimal precoding matrix.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the UE may obtain the first optimal precoding matrix by using the above method. It should be noted that the first optimal precoding matrix does not represent a limitation on the order of the optimal precoding matrix.
102. Acquiring a first invariant probability according to the first optimal pre-coding matrix;
and after the UE acquires the first optimal precoding matrix, acquiring a first invariant probability according to the first optimal precoding matrix. Herein, the invariant probability denotes a probability of whether or not the current optimal precoding matrix is the same as the last optimal precoding matrix. The initial value of the first invariant probability may take the value 0.
The first invariant probability does not indicate a limitation on the order of the invariant probabilities.
103. Judging whether the first invariant probability is larger than a first threshold value, if not, executing a step 104, and if so, executing a step 105;
in this step, the UE may preset the first threshold, or perform test evaluation under the channel condition, so as to obtain the first threshold. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the first threshold value obtained by the UE may be different according to different scenarios and/or different channel conditions. For example, according to the definition of the invariant probability, the first threshold value is any value from 1/N to 1, where N is the number of precoding matrices in the codebook, and the probability that the UE can enter the closed-loop MIMO mode can be increased by adjusting the value of the first threshold value from large to small.
It should be noted that the first threshold does not indicate the order of limiting the threshold.
It should be noted that, when the UE is just entering the network, the UE firstly adopts the open-loop MIMO mode because the open loop does not need to use the air interface channel characteristics between the base station and the UE.
If the first invariant probability is not greater than the first threshold, the UE may learn: if the closed-loop MIMO mode cannot be realized according to the current channel condition, the UE performs step 104 to maintain the current open-loop MIMO mode.
If the first invariant probability is greater than the first threshold, the UE may learn: a closed loop MIMO mode may be implemented according to the current channel conditions, and the UE performs step 105, and enters the closed loop MIMO mode, thereby obtaining higher spectral efficiency.
104. Keeping the current open-loop MIMO mode and returning to the step 101;
when the first invariant probability is not greater than the first threshold as a result of the determination in step 103, the UE maintains the current open-loop MIMO mode, and the UE performs step 101 again.
105. Sending a first report message to a base station, wherein the first report message carries information requesting to enter a closed-loop MIMO mode;
when the judgment result of step 103 is that the first invariant probability is greater than the first threshold, the UE sends a first report message to the base station, where the first report message carries information requesting to enter the closed-loop MIMO mode.
After the UE sends the first reported information to the base station, the UE receives information which is sent by the base station and indicates that the UE enters a closed-loop MIMO mode, the UE is switched from the open-loop MIMO mode to the closed-loop MIMO mode, and the UE continuously feeds back a PMI to the base station in the closed-loop MIMO mode, so that the base station can select a weighting proof to weight transmitting data of each antenna according to the PMI fed back by the UE, and the base station can gather more transmitting energy to the UE.
The method provided by this embodiment may be executed by a UE, where the UE may obtain a first optimal precoding matrix, and then obtain a first invariant probability according to the obtained first optimal precoding matrix, and the UE determines whether to enter a closed-loop MIMO mode by judging a magnitude relationship between the first invariant probability and a first threshold, and if so, sends a first report message to a base station, so that the UE may enter the closed-loop MIMO mode when a channel condition is suitable, and only when the UE can enter the closed-loop MIMO mode, the UE feeds back the first report message that consumes few air interface spectrum resources to the base station, thereby saving the air interface spectrum resources.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the UE can implement the above-described embodiments to implement the switched open-closed loop MIMO mode, whether FDD or Time Division Duplex (TDD) system. Therefore, the above embodiments are applicable to both FDD and TDD systems.
Referring to fig. 2, another embodiment of the invention provides a method for switching between mimo modes. In this embodiment, after the UE enters the closed-loop MIMO mode, the system may further determine whether the UE is to switch back to the open-loop MIMO mode from the closed-loop MIMO mode. The present embodiment may include the following steps:
201. acquiring a second optimal precoding matrix;
and after the UE enters a closed-loop MIMO mode, the UE acquires a second optimal precoding matrix. It should be noted that the second optimal precoding matrix does not represent a limitation on the order of the optimal precoding matrix. The method for the UE to obtain the second optimal precoding matrix may be the same as the method for the UE to obtain the first optimal precoding matrix, and is not repeated here.
202. Acquiring a second invariant probability according to a second optimal pre-coding matrix;
and the UE acquires a second invariant probability according to the second optimal precoding matrix.
The second invariant probability does not indicate a limitation on the order of the invariant probabilities.
203. And judging whether the second invariant probability is smaller than a second threshold value, if not, executing a step 204, and if so, executing a step 205.
In this step, the UE may preset a second threshold, set the second threshold to be not greater than the first threshold, and perform test evaluation under the channel condition, so as to obtain the second threshold. For example, according to the definition of the invariant probability, the second threshold value is any value from 1/N to 1, where N is the number of precoding matrices in the codebook, and by adjusting the second threshold value, frequent switching of the MIMO mode of the open-closed loop can be prevented, thereby reducing the processing overhead.
If the second invariant probability is not less than the second threshold, the UE may learn: if the UE can still implement the closed-loop MIMO mode according to the current channel condition, the UE performs step 204 to maintain the current closed-loop MIMO mode.
If the second invariant probability is smaller than the second threshold, the UE may know: depending on the current channel conditions, the closed loop MIMO mode cannot be achieved, the UE performs step 205, and the UE enters the open loop MIMO mode.
204. The current closed loop MIMO mode is maintained and step 201 is performed again;
when the determination result in step 208 is that the second invariant probability is not smaller than the first threshold, the UE maintains the current closed-loop MIMO mode, and the UE performs step 201 again.
205. And sending a second report message to the base station, wherein the second report message carries information for requesting to exit the closed-loop MIMO mode.
And when the judgment result in the step 203 is that the second invariant probability is smaller than the second threshold, the UE sends a second report message to the base station, where the second report message carries information requesting to exit the closed-loop MIMO mode.
And after the UE sends the second reporting information to the base station, the UE receives the information which is sent by the base station and indicates that the UE exits the closed-loop MIMO mode, and the UE is switched from the closed-loop MIMO mode to the open-loop MIMO mode.
The method provided by the embodiment can be executed by the UE. In this embodiment, after the UE enters the closed-loop MIMO mode, the UE continues to obtain the second optimal precoding matrix, and when the UE determines that the second invariant probability is related to the second threshold, the UE may determine whether to switch from the closed-loop MIMO mode to the open-loop MIMO mode.
Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the UE can perform the embodiment shown in fig. 2 to implement switching between the open and closed loop MIMO modes, whether FDD or TDD. Thus, the embodiment shown in fig. 2 is applicable to both FDD and TDD systems.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides a MIMO mode switching method, and this embodiment describes a process in which a UE enters a closed-loop MIMO mode from an open-loop MIMO mode, and enters the open-loop MIMO mode from the closed-loop MIMO mode. In this embodiment, the UE obtains a first optimal precoding matrix, obtains a first invariant probability according to the first optimal precoding matrix by performing an Alpha filtering process, then enters a closed-loop MIMO mode from the open-loop MIMO mode, obtains a second optimal precoding matrix, obtains a second invariant probability according to the second optimal precoding matrix by performing the Alpha filtering process, and then enters the open-loop MIMO mode from the closed-loop MIMO mode.
In this embodiment, N is placed in parentheses and is used as a part of the parameter X, i.e., in the form of X (N), which indicates the nth parameter X obtained. For example, in this embodiment, PM _ best is used to represent the optimal precoding matrix, and PM _ best (N) is used to represent the nth optimal precoding matrix acquired by the UE, where N ≧ 1.
In this embodiment, P _ Con is used to represent the invariant probability, and as described above, P _ Con refers to whether the current PM _ best is the same as the last PM _ best, and in this embodiment, the obtaining of the invariant probability by the UE processing the optimal precoding matrix may be an Alpha filtering process, which specifically includes:
the current invariant probability P _ Con (N +1) takes the values: the value obtained by adding the product of the absolute difference value between 1 and the filter coefficient Alpha and the last first invariant probability P _ con (N) to the product of the current probability coefficient P _ Cur (N +1) and the filter coefficient Alpha can be described by the following formula: p _ Con (N +1) ((1-Alpha) × P _ Con (N)) + Alpha × P _ Cur (N +1), wherein the initial value of the invariant probability P _ Con (1) ═ 0, the UE compares with PM _ best (N +1) and PM _ best (N), if equal, the probability coefficient P _ Cur (N +1) takes the value 1, otherwise P _ Cur (N +1) takes the value 0, in order to guarantee that P _ Con is a probability greater than zero, Alpha is any number greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
It should be noted that the UE may preset a filter coefficient Alpha, and may also perform test evaluation under the channel condition, so as to obtain the Alpha. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the Alpha values obtained by the UE may be different according to different scenarios and/or different channel conditions. By adjusting the Alpha value, the frequent switching of the open-closed loop MIMO mode caused by unstable invariant probability can be avoided, so that the processing cost is high, and the delayed switching or non-switching of the open-closed loop MIMO mode can be avoided.
It should be further noted that, although in the foregoing embodiment, the UE performs switching between the closed-loop MIMO mode and the open-loop MIMO mode according to the relationship between the invariant probability and the threshold corresponding to the invariant probability, the UE may also perform switching between the closed-loop MIMO mode and the open-loop MIMO mode according to the relationship between the closed-loop gain and the threshold corresponding to the closed-loop gain, for example, after acquiring the first closed-loop gain, the UE may modify the foregoing embodiment according to the actual need to implement switching between the closed-loop MIMO mode and the open-loop MIMO mode, where M is any number greater than 2, and adjust the first threshold value by adjusting M according to the number of antennas transmitted and received and the number of codewords transmitted, the probability that the UE can enter the closed-loop MIMO mode may be increased, and when the first closed-loop gain is not greater than the first threshold value, the UE maintains the current open-loop MIMO mode, when the first closed-loop gain is larger than the first threshold value, the UE enters a closed-loop MIMO mode, after the UE acquires the second closed-loop gain, the second threshold value corresponding to the second closed-loop gain is set to be any one value from 1 to N, wherein N is any number greater than 2, and the second threshold is not greater than the first threshold, the UE adjusts M according to the number of the antennas for transmitting and receiving and the number of the transmitted code words, thereby adjusting the value of the second threshold value, preventing frequent switching of MIMO modes of the open-close loop, thereby reducing the processing overhead, when the second closed-loop gain is not less than the second threshold value, the UE maintains the current closed-loop MIMO mode, and when the second closed-loop gain is smaller than the second threshold value, the UE enters an open-loop MIMO mode.
