A kind of methods, devices and systems that transmit the back haul link pilot tone
Technical field
The present invention relates to the mobile communication technology field, particularly relate to a kind of methods, devices and systems that transmit the back haul link pilot tone.
Background technology
Along with 3G (the 3rd Generation, 3G (Third Generation) Moblie) commercialization of technology, as the back 3G standard that great popular demand, LTE (Long Term Evolution, long evolving system) standard is near finishing, LTE-A (Long Term Evolution Advanced, advanced long-term evolution system) standardization effort also launches in full preparation.
LTE-A is a kind of technology of backward compatibility, complete compatible LTE.Wherein, relaying (Relay) technology is one of new technology of LTE-A introducing, is used to improve throughput of system and increases network coverage.In order to realize relaying technique, correspondingly introduced RN (Relay Node, via node) in the mobile communication system.As shown in Figure 1, be the mobile communication system schematic diagram behind the introducing RN, mainly comprise eNB (enhanced Node B, the enhancement mode Node B), RN and UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) three parts, wherein, eNB connects CN (Core Network by wireline interface, core net), RN connects eNB by wave point, and UE connects RN or eNB by wave point.Radio Link comprises following three: back haul link (backhaul link) between the direct projection link between eNB and the macro UE (direct link), eNB and the RN and the access link (access link) between RN and the relay UE, wherein, Macro UE accepts the service that eNB directly provides, and Relay UE accepts the service that RN provides.
Consider the signal interference-limited of radio communication, direct projection link, back haul link and access link need use the Radio Resource of quadrature.Because the mode of operation of the transceiver of RN is a half-duplex time-division mode of operation, the transmitter of RN has interference to the receiver of self, the operation that RN can not receive simultaneously and send on same frequency, promptly back haul link and access link are unsuitable for coexisting on same frequency resource.
In order to solve the coexistence problems between back haul link and the access link, make the communication network of introducing RN can compatible Rel-8 (Release 8, the 8th version) UE, and keep Relay UE to have identical frame structure with Macro UE, system introduces MBSFN (Multicast Broadcast Single FrequencyNetwork, multicast single frequency network) subframe.After the frame structure of RN is configured to the MBSFN subframe, there are 1 or 2 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) the descending control signaling zone of symbol, this zone are used for RN and send descending control signaling to Relay UE.When RN received from the back haul link data of eNB, RN did not send data to Relay UE, promptly creates transmission gap (gaps) by the MBSFN subframe in the transmission time at descending access link, as shown in Figure 2.In transmission gap, UE (comprising Rel-8UE) can not expect any transfer of data from RN, eNB can utilize the descending back haul link transmission between interior subframe realization of this transmission gap and the RN, even the subframe of transmission gap is not used in the downlink data of transmission back haul link, can not be used for the downlink transfer of access link, thereby avoid back haul link to conflict with the downlink transfer between the access link.
As shown in Figure 3, be the transmission schematic diagram of MBSFN subframe, wherein, the control area of MBSFN subframe takies 1 or 2 OFDM symbols, is used for RN and transmits control signal to the UE of its service.In the downlink transfer of back haul link, RN can't receive control area PDCCH (the PhysicalDownlink Control Channel of base station, Physical Downlink Control Channel), therefore, the base station need be at PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel) zone is created one and is used for the zone that transmits control signal to RN, this zone is R-PDCCH (Relay Node-PhysicalDownlink Control Channel, the via node Physical Downlink Control Channel) zone, comprise R-PDCCH zone and R-PHICH (Relay Node-Physical HARQ Indicator Channel, the automatic repeat requests indicating channel of via node physical mixed) zone.
If R-PDCCH adopts FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing in the zone, frequency division multiplex) mode, as shown in Figure 4, R-PDCCH zone, R-PDSCH (Relay Node-PhysicalDownlink Shared Channel, the via node Physical Downlink Shared Channel) PDSCH of zone and R8UE zone adopts the FDM mode to divide, and each zone takies one or more PRB.If R-PDCCH adopts TDM (Time Division Multiplexing in the zone, time division multiplexing)+and the FDM mode, as shown in Figure 5, the R-PDCCH zone takies one or more PRB (PhysicalResource Block at frequency domain, Physical Resource Block), take several OFDM symbols in time domain; Zone after the R-PDCCH zone is used for the R-PDSCH transmission, and other unappropriated PDSCH zones are used for the transmission of R8UE PDSCH and R-PDSCH by the FDM mode.
Comprise public guide frequency and special pilot frequency for user two class pilot tones in the LTE system, wherein, public guide frequency is that full bandwidth sends, and the ID of concrete configuration and sub-district (Identity, identity) is relevant, and promptly in a sub-district, the pattern of its public guide frequency is identical.Because PDCCH is that a plurality of users detect simultaneously, as seen its pilot tone must all be to all users, and is identical, and therefore, control channel PDCCH only can come demodulation by enough public guide frequencies, as shown in Figure 6, is the public guide frequency allocation plan of antenna port 0-3.Special pilot frequency for user is used to support the PDSCH transmission of single antenna port, as shown in Figure 7, is the DMRS in the LTE-A system (Demodulation Reference Signal, dedicated pilot) allocation plan.
On the back haul link between eNB and the RN, eNB uses special control channel R-PDCCH to the relevant control signaling of RN transmission.Wherein, R-PDCCH is positioned at PDSCH regional extent inside, can continue to use Rel-8CRS (Communal Reference Signal, public guide frequency) and decode.
The inventor is in realizing process of the present invention, and there are the following problems at least to find prior art:
When adopting four antenna ports to carry out downlink transfer in the base station, the R-PDCCH zone only can receive the CRS of a row port 2 and 3, and density is less, can't guarantee demodulation performance.

Particularly, can suppose to have 4 PRB, R-PDCCH zone and R-PDSCH zone take two PRB altogether, wherein, the R-PDCCH zone takies back four OFDM symbols of first slot in two PRB, therefore, the DMRS in the R-PDCCH zone will not exist, and need be antenna port 2 and antenna port 3 increases by one row CRS.The CRS that increase for antenna port 2 and 3 are positioned at the 6th symbol of first slot, i.e. l=5, and another row CRS with antenna port 2 and 3 on frequency domain staggers, as shown in figure 12.
Need to prove, when the R-PDCCH zone takies the OFDM symbol at DMRS place, and during the DMRS normal presence,, need avoid the RE at DMRS place if when a row CRS who increases takies the OFDM symbol at DMRS place.
Step 302, base station equipment is transmitted the back haul link pilot tone by R-PDCCH zone and R-PDSCH zone to via node.
Step 303, via node is at the CRS of R-PDCCH zone and R-PDSCH zone reception antenna port 2 and antenna port 3.
The technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention has the following advantages, because on the basis that utilizes Rel-8CRS demodulation R-PDCCH, increase the public guide frequency density of antenna port 2 and 3 at R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH zone, thereby guaranteed the demodulation performance of R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH.
