Embodiment
The inventor notices in the invention process:
In LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced, long-term evolution upgrading) system, because it is defeated to have introduced multi-antenna transmitting, periodically SRS need take more physical resource.In order to improve the SRS resource utilization, reduce the expense of SRS resource, introduced aperiodic SRS transmission among the LTE-A, activate the sounding of non-standing by dynamic dispatching.According to present conclusion, aperiodic, SRS can carry out the transmission of single antenna port mode, also can not have the transmission of the multiport mode of precoding, and therefore, how the transmission means of indicating terminal SRS aperiodic is to need the problem that solves.
In the prior art, the port number that aperiodic, SRS used with whether be triggered relevant with the transmitting antenna number of UE, and the port number that indicating terminal SRS aperiodic uses and indicate whether to be triggered and realize by other signalings, undertaken by the PDCCH signaling such as triggering, aperiodic, the configuration parameter of SRS was then indicated by high-level signaling, perhaps indicate the port number that also has scheme to adopt high-level signaling to indicate SRS aperiodic by certain special-purpose DCI format.Yet, for the base station, not it may be noted that concrete port number, but only it may be noted that transmission means gets final product, increase indicating mode on existing signaling basics if go again in the base station, then may produce and conflict, also can increase extra signaling consumption simultaneously with other signalings.For example when triggering by the PDCCH signaling, the extra PDCCH signaling of utilizing is again indicated transmission means; Perhaps, when indicating the configuration parameter of SRS aperiodic by high-level signaling, the extra PDCCH signaling of utilizing is again indicated or the like transmission means, all may produce with other signalings and conflict, and also can increase extra signaling consumption simultaneously.
Given this, transmission indicating means and the base station of a kind of aperiodic of SRS are provided in the embodiment of the invention, a kind of aperiodic SRS transmission method and user terminal, terminal receive the base station by the downlink signaling indication aperiodic SRS transmission means, this programme can be used for SRS transmission aperiodic of LTE-A or its evolution system.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
In declarative procedure, at first will be respectively describe from the enforcement of terminal and base station side, can implement to describe to the cooperation of the two then, but this does not also mean that the two must cooperate enforcement, in fact, when terminal and base station separate when implementing, it also solves the problem of end side, base station side separately, when just the two is used in combination, can obtain better technique effect.
Fig. 1 is the transmission indicating means implementing procedure schematic diagram of SRS aperiodic, and as shown in the figure, the base station is to comprise the steps: in indication
The transmission means that step 101, base station need to determine terminal to adopt when transmission SRS aperiodic;
The transmission means that step 102, base station indicating terminal adopt when transmission SRS aperiodic.
Fig. 2 is the transmission method implementing procedure schematic diagram of SRS aperiodic, and as shown in the figure, end side can comprise the steps: when transmission SRS aperiodic
Step 201, terminal are determined employed transmission means when transmission SRS aperiodic;
Step 202, terminal are according to transmission means transmission SRS aperiodic that determines.
In the enforcement, base station side mainly is the transmission means that the indication end side adopts when transmission SRS aperiodic, and terminal then is transmission means transmission SRS aperiodic that determines according to the base station.So in the process of base station indicating terminal, can adopt both sides to adopt indication according to predetermined rule, the mode such as adopting binding does not then need the base station all to indicate at every turn under this mode, but also can be after rule is set, terminal knows that by rule transmission means gets final product; The transmission means that the base station also can adopt the direct indicating terminal of means of signaling to adopt; When adopting signaling, transmission means that can directly clear and definite indicating terminal should adopt in signaling also can be indicated according to the rule of being scheduled in conjunction with both sides by the out of Memory in the signaling.
In the enforcement, will be not directly indication but know according to predetermined rule that the mode of transmission means is called recessively and indicate, and the mode that will directly clearly indicate with information in signaling is called the indication of dominance ground.Below will be to by high-level signaling or PDCCH signaling and adopt dominance or recessive transmission means of indicating SRS aperiodic, and the execution mode that terminal is carried out the transmission of SRS aperiodic according to information describes.
In force with dominance or recessive enforcement of indicating, and by high-level signaling or PDCCH signaling is that example is because these modes are easy to implement easy to understand; But, in theory, mode with other also is fine, as long as can realize the transmission means indicating terminal that adopt terminal during SRS in transmission aperiodic the base station, terminal gets final product by this indication transmission SRS aperiodic, therefore dominance or recessive the indication, and the execution mode of indicating by high-level signaling or PDCCH signaling only is used to instruct those skilled in the art specifically how to implement the present invention, but do not mean and only can use dominance or recessive the indication, and indicate these modes by high-level signaling or PDCCH signaling, can need come to determine corresponding indicating mode in conjunction with practice in the implementation process.
In the enforcement, will with aperiodic SRS transmission means comprise that the transmission of single antenna port transmission and many antenna ports is that example describes for two kinds, but, in theory, when aperiodic of adopting other during the SRS transmission means, also be that the technical scheme that provides in the embodiment of the invention can be provided, the transmission means indication UE that also to be the base station adopt UE when transmission SRS aperiodic, UE gets final product by this indication transmission SRS aperiodic, this is to understand easily for a person skilled in the art, therefore, be that example only is used to instruct those skilled in the art specifically how to implement the present invention with above-mentioned transmission means, but do not mean and only can in these modes, implement.
