In order to realize higher transmission rate, in LTE-A, introduce the MIMO scheme of support 8 flow transmission.Meanwhile, consider from the angle reducing expense, LTE-A peels off the measurement of reference signal and demodulation function.
Have employed in LTE-A and carry out measuring and feed back and carry out the mechanism of demodulation based on DMRS based on CSI-RS.Wherein, the time-frequency density of CSI-RS is lower, and its port number is determined by the antenna of eNB and transmitter configuration substantially; The port number of DMRS depends on the number of plies of transfer of data, and its time-frequency location and density can ensure the needs of data demodulates.
According to current Standardization, determine to define the CSI-RS that port number is respectively 2,4,8 in LTERel-10, and definition is carried out measuring and the new transmission mode (TM9) fed back based on 2,4,8 port CSI-RS.
But, CSI-RS port number be 1 configuration mode not yet determine, but this 1 port CSI-RS still may be introduced at the future version of LTE.And still there is not a kind of transmission mode of carrying out measuring Yu feed back based on 1 port CSI-RS at present.
