Embodiment
In the embodiment of the present invention, calculate CQI for multiple transfer points, especially consider interference and system noise power sum outside multiple transfer points, the CQI obtaining like this makes the operation such as scheduling and link circuit self-adapting adjustment in coordinated multipoint transmission more accurate.
In the present embodiment, multiple transfer points form transfer point set c
j, the multiple transfer points in the present embodiment refer to transfer point set c in other words
jin transfer point.Certain UE relatively, transfer point set c
ja transfer point be main transfer point, other transfer point is cooperation transmission point.Main transfer point refers to the transfer point that sends useful signal in cooperative scheduling/wave beam forming and dynamic transmission point selection to UE, the transfer point to UE transmission useful signal that specify base station or UE selects in joint transmission.If there is the transfer point of multiple transmission useful signals, main transfer point is in the transfer point of the plurality of transmission useful signal, by specifying or UE selects base station.Transfer point can base station or the equipment such as RRH.
Referring to Fig. 1, the method flow that transmits CQI in the present embodiment is as follows:
Step 101: receive the reference signal that multiple transfer points send.Reference signal comprises CRS or CSI-RS etc.
Step 102: for each transfer point, the reference signal structure channel matrix H sending according to this transfer point
ij, n.
Step 103: measure from the interference outside described multiple transfer points and system noise power sum I

Step 104: according to the channel matrix H of main transfer point in multiple transfer points

ncalculate the channel quality indicator (CQI) of this main transfer point, and for the each cooperation transmission point except main transfer point in multiple transfer points, according to the H of main transfer point
0j, nh with this cooperation transmission point
ij, ncalculate the channel quality indicator (CQI) of this cooperation transmission point.
Step 105: the CQI that calculates described multiple transfer points is at least sent to main transfer point.Concrete, the CQI of the each transfer point calculating is sent to respectively to corresponding transfer point, and the cooperation transmission CQI receiving that names a person for a particular job is transmitted to main transfer point or base station corresponding to main transfer point.Or, the CQI of all transfer points that calculate is directly sent to main transfer point, send to corresponding base station by main transfer point.
Above flow process is realized by UE, and the CQI calculating is at least sent to main transfer point.
Concrete, UE receives transfer point set c
jthe reference signal that each transfer point in (for the transfer point set of UEj) sends.By the reference signal structure channel matrix H of receiving
ij, n, the dimension of this matrix is N
r, j× N
t, i, wherein N
r, jrepresent UEj reception antenna number, N
t, irepresent transfer point i number of transmit antennas.And measure from the interference outside described multiple transfer points and system noise power sum I
n.Then by formula γ
0j=Q (g ({ γ
0j, n| n ∈ N})) calculate the CQI of main transfer point, wherein, the sequence number of establishing main transfer point is 0, γ
0jrepresent the CQI of main transfer point,
h
0j, nrepresent the channel matrix of main transfer point.G () represents CQI mapping function, that concrete can be EESM (exponential effective SINR mapping, the effective Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio mapping of index) mapping function, N represents subcarrier set, and its corresponding frequency range can be a Resource Block, subband or whole system frequency range.Q () represents quantization function, ‖ ‖ representing matrix delivery, acquisition be signal power.The formula that calculates the CQI of certain the cooperation transmission point except main transfer point is γ
ij=Q (g ({ γ
ij, n| n ∈ N})), (i ∈ c
j, i ≠ 0), wherein
(i ∈ c
j, i ≠ 0).Consider that base station obtains channel matrix and is difficult to be dispatched to the scene of synchronization from multiple transfer points, the CQI feedback that base station need obtain cooperation transmission point, can effectively improve the accuracy of scheduling for this scene like this.If base station obtains channel matrix and can be dispatched to synchronization from multiple transfer points, or base station obtains the channel matrix of multiple transfer points from UE, can not obtain the CQI feedback of cooperation transmission point.
UE can also further calculate CQI increment for main transfer point, and computing formula is:
Δ
0j=Q (g ({ γ
0j, n| n ∈ N})/g (γ '
0j, n| n ∈ N})), wherein
i
0, nfor user measures or calculates set c
jin except main transfer point user's received power sum of other transfer point.CQI increment is the increment of CQI of the CQI while not considering that cooperation cell is disturbed while relatively considering that cooperation cell is disturbed.Consider quantizing range, transmission CQI increment can improve the precision of CQI feedback.
If UE has reported CQI increment, preferably, the computing formula of the CQI being used in conjunction with CQI increment is γ
0j=Q (g (γ '
0j, n|n ∈ N})).
Because the present embodiment provides CQI increment, therefore need existing feedback model and feedback kind to improve, or define new feedback kind.
The feedback model and/or the feedback kind that adopt to main transfer point feedback of down channel information comprise CQI increment size.The feedback model of periodic feedback and feedback kind are supported CQI increment information feedback; The feedback model of non-periodic feedback is supported CQI increment information feedback.Concrete, for example 5 kinds of feedback models of Physical Uplink Shared Channel (physical uplink shared channel, PUSCH) being expanded, feedback model 1-2 is to comprising broadband CQI increment size in the feedback of main transfer point.Feedback model 3-0 and 3-1 are to the CQI increment size that comprises each subband in sets of subbands in the feedback of main transfer point.Feedback model 2-0 and 2-2 are to a CQI increment size on the subband that comprises M size in the feedback of main transfer point and select for the UE of k, and M and k are parameter preset.
Or, in PUCCH periodic feedback, increase new feedback kind, make the feedback kind of periodic feedback support CQI increment information feedback.For example, define new feedback kind, this new feedback kind is on the basis of feedback kind 1b, 1c, 1d, to support respectively subband PMI, CQI and CQI increment, or subband CQI and CQI increment, or subband CQI increment information feedback.And for example, define new feedback kind, this new feedback kind is on the basis of feedback kind 2d, to support broadband P MI, CQI and CQI increment information feedback; And for example, define new feedback kind, this new feedback kind is on the basis of feedback kind 4a, 4b, to support respectively broadband CQI and CQI increment, or broadband CQI increment information feedback.
