Reference signals of the first type is assigned to a number of transmitting nodes with at least one transmit antenna in the first and second slot in a predefined bandwidth; and reference signals of the second are type to at least one transmitting node with at least transmit antennas in at least one of the first and second slot in a predefined bandwidth.

Description

Under many antenna environment, assign the method and system of reference signal
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of antenna and node method and system of assigning reference signal in wireless communication system.Also relate to the computer program that is used for described method and system.
Background technology
In communication system, use different types of reference signal.A kind of reference signal is used to estimate to enable the required channel of coherent demodulation of the received signal that contains control and data message.Another kind of reference signal is used for channel quality measurement and enables scheduling.
For instance, in 3GPP LTE up link, the reference signal that is used for coherent demodulation is called demodulated reference signal (DRS), and the reference signal that is used for channel quality measurement is called detection reference signal (SRS).
SRS among the LTE and DRS reference signal include sub-district adhoc basis sequence, and it has the corresponding cyclic shift on predefine length and the time domain.In the LTE up link, described basic sequence is that Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequence or computer produce (CG) sequence.When the length of basic sequence during greater than 24 subcarriers, with the ZC sequence as basic sequence.Otherwise generation (CG) sequence uses a computer.These two kinds of sequences have the advantage that uniform amplitude is arranged on time domain and frequency domain, this point is just meeting the needs of uplink reference signals (RS).Cyclic shift is the linear phase rotation that puts on basic sequence on the frequency domain.Linear phase shift on this frequency domain is equal to the cyclic shift on the time domain.The different value of cyclic shift is used for producing different orthogonal reference signal in the sub-district from a basic sequence.
In multi-user comm, the a plurality of users that wherein have a transmitting antenna launch in same frequency band simultaneously, with the same among the LTE up link DRS corresponding to multiuser MIMO or LTE up link SRS, a cyclic shift is used to produce each user's reference signal.Because the reference signal corresponding to the user is a quadrature,, cyclic shift value and reference signal separate different user so being used in receiver-side.
In the LTE up link, predefine in the uplink sub-frames and different symbols are exclusively used in transmitted reference signal (RS), and it is graphic extension in Fig. 1.Under the situation of normal cyclic prefix (CP), DRS takies the 4th symbol of each uplink time slot, and SRS launches in last symbol of some subframes that disposed by eNB.DRS of each subscriber equipment (UE) and the emission of SRS are independently.If UE of scheduling in a plurality of Resource Block (RB) in a subframe, to be used for transmit physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), so this UE will be on the 4th symbol of two time slots of described subframe emission length equal the DRS of the bandwidth of being dispatched.Transmitted bandwidth and the subframe of SRS are disposed by eNB.Even UE is not scheduled for data or control emission, it still can launch SRS in last symbol of second time slot in the SRS emission subframe that is configured.
For up link DRS, a plurality of users use the different cyclic shifts of basic sequence, and only just launch simultaneously under the situation of uplink multiuser MIMO emission.Otherwise, different user is separated by FDM and TDM.More precisely, when having dispatched unique user in one a group of Resource Block in the LTE up link and the subframe, because a transmitting antenna is only arranged, thus only need a DRS, and therefore only use a cyclic shift, remaining cyclic shift is idle.On the other hand, for SRS, in same running time-frequency resource, dispatch a plurality of users usually, and described a plurality of users are separated by the different cyclic shifts of basic sequence.
Under the situation of MU-MIMO and SRS, for DRS, must so that the corresponding time shift between two users greater than the mode of channel delay spread to the different user distributing cyclic shift.Otherwise, when carrying out channel estimating at the receiver place, corresponding to the channel of different user with interfering with each other.Therefore, in fact be not that all available cycles displacement of basic sequence all can be used.
Suppose such situation: under the channel model of typical urban district (TU), LTE system 5MHz bandwidth operation, wherein UE speed is 3km/h.This is typical radio communication channel.According to LTE version 8, always have eight cyclic shifts and can be used for SRS and DRS, that is, code is multiplexed together to reaching eight users.If distribute continuous cyclic shift to different user in frequency domain, the time shift between the user is about 32 samples so, and this is less than TU channel delay spread (39 samples).Therefore, in order to give each user enough protections at the receiver place, must be dispensed to each user and manyly this means under the hypothesis of TU channel every a cyclic shift for multipath, only can code be multiplexed together with four among eight users.
Senior LTE is the evolution of LTE, wherein subscriber equipment (UE) or via node (RN) have to reaching four transmitting antennas, and importantly to know channel from all emitter antennas to the receiver antenna, because this information is used to data transmission to select modulation and encoding scheme, and also be used to select to be ready to use in the pre-coding matrix of emission.Select by receiver from the pre-coding matrix that the sign indicating number of available pre-coding matrix takes out the book, with channel matched and improve launch mass.Data and DRS are by same pre-coding matrix precoding, and SRS is not by precoding.Therefore, suppose this situation is considered that SRS distributes, need the SRS of each emission from the UE transmitting antenna so.When the subscriber equipment of supporting to have a plurality of antennas or via node, compare with LTE, every UE or RN must distribute a more number cyclic shift, so that distinguish each antenna and each user.In the case, eight available detection sequences exhaust rapidly.
Therefore, problem is how to estimate from the channel of a plurality of transmitting antennas to obtain quality to estimate and scheduling promptly, how to survey the channel from UE with a plurality of transmitting antennas or RN.
Another problem is the channel of how surveying from a plurality of users, supposes that some users have a plurality of transmitting antennas.
In addition, a relevant problem is how to make signaling consumption and reference signal expense remain on floor level.
Also have relevant issues are how to make interference level keep low as far as possible.
No. 2009/017363 patent documentation of WO relate to a kind of be used for making come comfortable corresponding Transmission Time Interval (TTI) do not have the reference signal of any other signal transmitting users equipment (UE) with from the reference signal that also in corresponding TTI, has another UE of data transmission, or with control signal and the multiplexed method and apparatus of reference signal in corresponding TTI, launched from another UE.The UE's of no any other signal emission can serve as detection reference signal through multiplexed reference signal among the next comfortable corresponding TTI, so that serving BS can be to the follow-up signal application link self adaptation that UE launched, perhaps described reference signal can be served as and passed on for example reference signal of state information such as resource request or service request.In this document, only solved the problem of the SRS of limited number.Other problem of mentioning still exists.

Embodiment
Disclose among Fig. 2 according to antenna and the node flow chart of assigning the method for reference signal in wireless communication system of the present invention.Described wireless communication system comprises N transmitting node, and wherein N is an integer, and N 〉=1.Transmitting node via same band in subframe first time slot and second time slot in transmitted reference signal.In addition, each node has at least one transmitting antenna, and different node can have a different numbers transmitting antenna.Reference signal have two kinds dissimilar, the reference signal of the first kind is used for demodulation, the reference signal of second type is used for measuring.Method starts from frame 50.Method continues at frame 52, is following problem proposed: the reference signal that has any first kind? if answer is negated that method continues once more execution in step 52 so.On the other hand, if answer is sure, method continues following steps at frame 54 so: the reference signal of assigning the first kind in first and second time slot in the predefine bandwidth to a plurality of transmitting nodes with at least one transmitting antenna.After this, method continues following steps at frame 56: the reference signal of assigning second type at least one of first and second time slot in described predefine bandwidth at least one transmitting node with at least two transmitting antennas.Method is finished at frame 58.
According to preferred embodiment according to method of the present invention, to the reference signal of first time slot appointment corresponding to second type of at least one transmitting antenna, and to the reference signal of second time slot appointment corresponding to second type of all the other transmitting antennas.
According to another preferred embodiment, to the reference signal of first time slot appointment corresponding to second type of at least one node, and to the reference signal of second time slot appointment corresponding to second type of all the other nodes.
According to another preferred embodiment, to the reference signal of first time slot appointment corresponding to second type of at least one first node, to the reference signal of second time slot appointment corresponding to second type of at least one Section Point, and to the reference signal of first time slot appointment, and to the reference signal of second time slot appointment corresponding to second type of all the other transmitting antennas of described at least one the 3rd node corresponding to second type of at least one transmitting antenna of at least one the 3rd node.
According to according to first alternative of method of the present invention, to the assignment of reference signals of second type that is assigned to first time slot and the different cyclic shift value of cyclic shift value to the assignment of reference signals of second type that is assigned to second time slot.
According to second alternative, the cyclic shift value that equates with cyclic shift value to the assignment of reference signals of second type that is assigned to first time slot to the assignment of reference signals of second type that is assigned to second time slot.
In LTE or senior LTE, use in another channel at physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or arbitrary layer of place above physical layer, carry out appointment among the embodiment described herein by the control signaling from the receiver to the reflector in the physical layer.
In addition, if transmitting antenna is a virtual-antenna, so described method is further comprising the steps of:
-before emission, use pre-coding matrix/vector to each demodulated reference signal.
Preferred embodiment according to described method, the reference signal of the first kind is demodulated reference signal (DRS), and it is by pre-coding matrix/vectorial precoding, and the reference signal of second type is detection reference signal (SRS), it can't help pre-coding matrix/vectorial precoding, but is launched by antenna.
Hypothesis considers only will survey a node with a plurality of antennas under situation about being without loss of generality.In order to survey the channel of the node with a plurality of antennas, each antenna needs a SRS.A plurality of antennas of a node to be detected are divided into two antenna groups.Assign the cyclic shift in the SRS group of first time slot, because the displacement of the available cycles in the SRS group of the SRS of the antenna in first group and second time slot is used for the SRS of the antenna of second group.The cyclic shift of each antenna groups can be identical or different.In the case, use SRS that SRS and DRS be multiplexed in each antenna of emission in the subframe once.Because SRS is lower than DRS for the performance requirement of demodulation, so compare with DRS may be more sparse in the emission of SRS.In LTE, SRS is only launched in being configured subframe by the eNB in order to emission SRS, and SRS only launches in being configured last symbol of subframe.According to the method, in a time slot, the only part of the antenna of specific node is launched SRS on the DRS symbol.
Should note, in following detailed description and the figure that is associated, will use terms user equipment (UE) to be used as the embodiment of node, but the those skilled in the art is apparent, node among the present invention is not limited to subscriber equipment, but the node of other type in the wireless communication system, via node for example, also describe and the scope of appended claims in.
Be disclosed in a plurality of SRS that launch a UE on two time slots among Fig. 3 with a plurality of antennas.Suppose add up to eight of available DRS cyclic shift, promptly CS0 is to CS7, and for the UE A with individual antenna dispatches a plurality of Resource Block (RB), to carry out physical uplink link sharing channel (PUSCH) emission.CS0 is used for the DRS of this UE with demodulation PUSCH, and CS1 does not use to CS7.Do not form two SRS groups respectively to CS7 on two time slots with cyclic shift CS1.UE B has two transmitting antennas (antenna 1 and antenna 2), and needs two SRS to survey respective channels.
Therefore, can use two SRS that do not launch UE B, promptly use CDM that the DRS of the SRS of UE B and UE A is multiplexed with the DRS cyclic shift.The SRS of transmitting antenna 1 and antenna 2 in time slot 1 and time slot 2 respectively.Can be identical or different for the cyclic shift that the SRS of antenna 1 and antenna 2 distributes, for example CS4 is used for antenna 1 and 2, or CS4 and CS5 are respectively applied for the SRS of antenna 1 and 2.Owing to realized the better distribution of cyclic shift on each time slot, so the interference level between the DRS of the SRS of UE B and UE A is minimized.When each group assigns identical cyclic shift, also reduce in order to the signaling consumption of indicating cyclic shift value, because only need to indicate a cyclic shift.In addition, antenna 1 and antenna 2 can send full power, carry out on single time slot if distribute, and or not this situation so.
" antenna " mentioned above can be physical antenna or virtual-antenna.Schematically disclose the relation between virtual-antenna and the physical antenna among Fig. 4.For each virtual-antenna, the SRS that is launched is the SRS through precoding.For instance, UE has four physical antennas, and two precoding vectors are [1 11 1] TAnd [1-1 1-1] TOr the row of any other orthogonal matrix.In first time slot, the SRS that is launched is [1 11 1] T* CS4, and the SRS in second time slot is [1-1 1-1] T* CS4.
Two SRS group of resources on two time slots also can be assigned by user mode.In the case, a plurality of users are divided into two groups.With cyclic shift available on first time slot, or a SRS group, be assigned to first groups of users, and cyclic shift available on second time slot is assigned to second groups of users.This situation is based on following hypothesis: as mentioned above, UE need not launch SRS twice in a subframe, and therefore can support different subscriber equipmenies on each time slot.With the same under the previous situation, the cyclic shift value of distributing to subscriber equipment on each time slot can be identical or different.What deserves to be mentioned is, also can be applicable to separation scene by the user through the situation of precoding.
Be disclosed in a plurality of SRS that launch on two time slots from different user devices among Fig. 5.Suppose that UE A only uses a cyclic shift CS0 to come demodulation PUSCH as DRS, and implement frequency hopping.For each SRS group of resources, there are seven available cycles displacements, promptly CS1 is to CS7.UE B and UE C need launch SRS to be used to survey uplink channel.Each UE needs a SRS.Use from a SRS group of resources the cyclic shift of assigning (CS4) in first time slot, launch the SRS of UE B, and UE C use from the 2nd SRS group of resources the cyclic shift of assigning (CS4) in second time slot, launch SRS.For the SRS sequence of UE B and UE C distribution can be identical or different.Illustrate multiplexed between SRS and the DRS among Fig. 5.
The scene of a plurality of subscriber equipmenies that must support to have a plurality of transmitting antennas will be described now.In the case, a plurality of subscriber equipment emission SRS are arranged, and each UE needs a plurality of SRS.There are two kinds of alternative to be shifted for each UE assigns the available cycles in two SRS group of resources.
Disclose first alternative among Fig. 6 or press the antenna separation.A plurality of antennas of each UE are divided into two groups, and each antenna groups is launched SRS in a time slot.
Disclose second alternative among Fig. 7 or press user's separation.The subscriber equipment of all emission SRS is divided into two groups, and each group of user equipment is launched SRS in a time slot.
About identical in the hypothesis of PUSCH emission UE A and previous two examples.In this example, do not suppose frequency hopping.Two subscriber equipmenies (UE B and UE C) emission SRS is arranged, and each UE has two transmitting antennas.
Now mixed allocation will be described.In the method, be separated into and separate on the basis and the user separates on the basis and carries out in two different groups that distribute on two time slots at antenna.Each group contains the SRS that is useful on some antenna and certain user, and as preceding institute mention and be assigned to different time-gap.
Disclose mixing emission among Fig. 8 from a plurality of SRS of different user devices and different antennae.Suppose to consider following situation: have a UE (UE A) sending DRS, and three different subscriber equipmenies (UE B, UE C and UED) are arranged, it each has two transmitting antennas and will survey.UE B and UE C can separate by user mode, and can separate by the antenna mode corresponding to the different antennae of UED.
ENB will dispatch a plurality of RB and be used for the DRS emission, and indication is used for the cyclic shift of DRS.In PDCCH, launch schedule information, comprise RB distribution, the index that is used for the cyclic shift of DRS, MCS etc.After UE receives schedule information among the PDCCH, it will distribute emission data and DRS in the bandwidth specific.For SRS emission, can use PDCCH to indicate the bandwidth of being distributed and be used for the index of the cyclic shift of SRS, or this information can be disposed by higher level signaling (for example RRC signaling) by eNB.
The example that provides more than all supposes to have a UE to dispatch.In fact sometimes there is not UE to be scheduled.For this situation, all cyclic shifts are all available, and can be used for launching SRS, promptly only launch SRS in the DRS of each time slot character position, and this gives graphic extension in Fig. 9.
