Rate has huge raising than LTE, it is desirable to reach descending 1Gbps, up 500Mbps.If only one maximum bandwidth of use is
The carrier wave of 20MHz is unable to reach peak-rate requirements.Therefore, lte-a system needs the bandwidth that terminal extension can use,
Thus introduce CA (Carrier Aggregation, carrier aggregation) technology, will multiple companies under same eNB (base station)
Continuous or discontinuous carrier aggregation, services for UE, the speed needed for offer simultaneously together.These carrier waves condensed together
It is also called CC (component carrier, member carrier).Each community can be a member carrier, under different eNB

In current LTE system, CRS (Cell-specific reference signals, community dedicated reference symbols)
All transmitting in the descending sub frame of all transmission PDSCH, and CRS could support up 4 port transmission, each port provides at a physics
Resource location in the block of source is referring particularly to shown in Fig. 2 A and Fig. 2 B.
As shown in Figure 2 A and 2 B, under prior art, the antenna port compound mode used in LTE system is: work as community
When being configured to single antenna port transmission (being called for short single port transmission), base station uses antenna port 0 to transmit CRS;When cell configuration is
During double antenna port transmission (being called for short dual-port transmission), base station uses antenna port 0 and 1 to transmit CRS;When cell configuration is four days
During line cap transmission (being called for short four port transmission), base station uses antenna port 0~3 to transmit CRS.In existing LTE system, UE
Time and Frequency Synchronization and measurement is carried out based on CRS.
And in LTE TDD system, there are three kinds of subframes, it is respectively as follows: sub-frame of uplink, special subframe and descending sub frame, its
In, the special subframe in LTE TDD system is made up of 3 parts: DwPTS (Downlink pilot time slot, descending pilot frequency
Time slot), GP (guard periold, protection interval) and UpPTS (uplink pilot time slot, uplink pilot time slot).
Special subframe supports various configurations, and in different configurations, the length of 3 partial time slot is different, as shown in the table:
Table 1
Special subframe configuration ((duration of DwPTS/GP/UpPTS .)
In actual application, in order to improve resource utilization ratio further, formulation is gathered by LTE-A Rel-11 at carrier wave
Assembly system introduces new carrier type, i.e. extends carrier wave, referred to as additional carrier type, or, new
Carrier type), using the purpose of extension carrier wave is to strengthen system spectrum utilization rate, preferably support heterogeneous network, reduction
Power consumption.
For extending the programme of work of carrier wave the most under discussion, the conclusion reached at present includes:
1) existing control signaling and/or CRS and a backward compatibility carrier wave associated working are compressed or eliminate.
2) two kinds of operative scenario are supported:
Sync carrier: extending carrier wave from the perspective of receiving terminal with legacy (traditional) carrier wave in time domain and frequency domain is all
Synchronizing, UE need not extension carrier wave is carried out single Time and Frequency Synchronization process;

Detailed description of the invention
For the extension carrier wave formulated in LTE-A Rel-11, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is provided that a kind of at extension carrier wave
The specific implementation of middle transmission descending reference symbol (e.g., CRS).
Below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings the preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.
Refering to shown in Fig. 3, in the embodiment of the present invention, the flow process that base station realizes CRS transmission on extension carrier wave is as follows:
Step 300: base station determines that being arranged on extension carrier wave the CRS used transmits port, and the CRS transmission ends that will determine
Mouth notice end side, wherein, this extension carrier wave is the carrier wave that can not work alone.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is arranged on extension carrier wave the CRS used and transmits port, can be that system support uses
CRS antenna port (hereinafter referred to as antenna port) in one or combination in any, and base station will use high-level signaling with
Semi-static mode transmits port to the CRS of end side notice configuration.And in prior art, base station is to need not CRS transmission ends
Mouth notice is to terminal, and terminal can detect voluntarily.
Wherein, when the CRS used on configuration extension carrier wave transmits port, flexible configuration antenna port group can be used
Conjunction mode, is i.e. not only restricted to antenna port compound mode of the prior art.Available antenna can be predefined by management personnel
Port combination mode, base station is only chosen one of predefined antenna port compound mode and is notified to end side, it is also possible to by base station
Determine antenna port compound mode voluntarily, thus more CRS pattern (pattern) is provided, provide just for multiple cell networking
Profit.Such as, network side, can be based on considered below: community 1 uses antenna port 0 to pass when configuring antenna port compound mode
During defeated CRS, adjacent community 2 can use antenna port 1 to transmit CRS in identical frequency band, then can avoid the CRS of neighbor cell
Between interfere.
Concrete, in the embodiment of the present invention, when configuring spendable antenna port compound mode, can use with lower section
Method:
During single antenna port transmission: configurable use { port 0} or { port 1};Or, configurable practical { port 0} or { end
Mouth 1} or { port 2} or { port 3};
During double antenna port transmission: configurable use { port 0, port 1} or { port 2, port 3};Or,
Configurable use { port 0, port 1} or { port 0, port 2} or { port 0, port 3} or { port 1, port 2}
Or { port 1, port 3} or { port 2, port 3};
During triantennary port transmission: configurable use { port 0, port 1, port 2} or { port 0, port 1, port 3};
Or, { port 1, port 2, port 3};
During four antenna port transmission: configurable use { port 1, port 2, port 3, port 4}.
Step 310: base station will be transmitted to end side accordingly by the CRS transmission port configured.
In the embodiment of the present invention, owing to being for extension carrier design CRS transmission plan, because of regardless of whether in the presence of capable
Data are transmitted, and base station is required to configure CRS transmission and both can individually transmit CRS to terminal carrying out Time and Frequency Synchronization, i.e. base station
Side, now terminal only need to detect CRS;Can also configuration transmission CRS descending sub frame in dispatching downlink data, i.e. base station
Transmit to end side after compound with downlink data for CRS, but downlink data can not be mapped on the RE shared by CRS, now, eventually
End can detect CRS, and receives downlink data according to the instruction of dispatch.
In above-described embodiment, the concrete executive mode of step 300 is as follows:
For TDD system, when configuring CRS and transmitting port, the CRS that base station can be respectively configured in special subframe transmits port
Port is transmitted with the CRS in normal (commonly) descending sub frame;Wherein, owing to special subframe exists various configurations, part configuration
The duration of middle DwPTS is shorter compared with the duration of normal descending sub frame, it is impossible to transmission corresponding whole of single antenna port
CRS, thus then can reduce net synchronization capability, in order to solve this problem, it is also preferred that the left base station can be in the DwPTS in special subframe
Configuration at least two CRS transmission port.Such as, in TDD system, define seven kinds of TDD ascending-descending subframes configurations, concrete such as table 2
Shown in, wherein D represents DL subframe, and U represents UL subframe, and S represents the special subframe of TDD system.
Table 2
(configuration of TDD ascending-descending subframes)
So, refering to shown in Fig. 4, it is assumed that special subframe have employed TDD uplink-downlink configuration 1, and wherein, DwPTS only comprises 9
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) symbol, then for
Normal descending sub frame, base station configuration uses antenna port 0 to transmit CRS, comprises 8 CRS in the most each Resource Block, and
In DwPTS, owing to base station configuration uses antenna port 0 and antenna port 2 to transmit CRS, in the most each Resource Block, comprise 10
CRS, such that make for any one antenna port, all cannot be by corresponding whole CRS end of transmissions, but each port
The CRS total number of transmission and normal descending sub frame keep approximately equal, thus ensure that the net synchronization capability of system.
Based on above-mentioned CRS port configuration mode, base station transmits port by high-level signaling to the CRS of end side notice configuration
Time, can use high-level signaling directly by CRS port notice end side the most corresponding with normal subframe for each special subframe;Or
Person, it would however also be possible to employ the CRS port in normal subframe is notified end side by high-level signaling, and notice end side is according to presetting
Rule determines that the CRS on special subframe transmits port.Latter event is exemplified below:
When the OFDM symbol number in DwPTS in special subframe is more than 3 but is less than 10, if normal subframe is corresponding
The number of CRS transmission port is N, and N < 4, then the number of CRS transmission port corresponding for DwPTS during end side determines special subframe
Mesh is N+1;When the OFDM symbol number in DwPTS in special subframe is only not more than 3, end side determines DwPTS in special subframe
Corresponding CRS port number is 4, wherein, if desired increases CRS in the DwPTS in special subframe and transmits port number, the most preferentially
The configuration preference level using antenna port 2 and antenna port 3, i.e. antenna port 2 and antenna port 3 is the highest.
On the other hand, in the embodiment of the present invention, after performing step 300, before performing step 310, base station can also be held
One in the operation of row following two or combination in any (be only for example but be not limited to this):
1) base station uses high-level signaling to be arranged on extension carrier wave at the beginning of the CRS frequency offset amount and CRS code sequence used
The concrete value notice end side of initial value, or, use high-level signaling will to be arranged on extension carrier wave the CRS frequency offset used
Amount and CRS sequence initial value corresponding additional ID parameter notice end side.
Under prior art, in LTE Rel-8, CRS frequency offset amount (is designated asWith CRS code sequence
Row initial value (is designated as It is all that terminal is based at network
(community ID, is designated as the cell ID detected during registrationObtain, it is not necessary to base station notifies.But, the present invention implements
In example, owing to may not there is independent cell ID on extension carrier wave, therefore, in this case, base station needs CRS frequency
Territory side-play amount and CRS code sequence initial value notify to end side, it is also preferred that the left base station can use high-level signaling by the CRS of configuration
Frequency offset amount and CRS code sequence initial value notify to end side, and such as, base station can be notified to end side by high-level signaling
Give an additional ID parameter of extension carrier wave configuration, be designated asMake terminal based on thisUse and use Rel-
The method of 8 standards determines CRS frequency offset amount and CRS code sequence initial value;The most such as, base station can also by high-level signaling to
End side notifies the CRS frequency offset amount to extension carrier wave configuration and the concrete value of CRS code sequence initial value.So, base station
All can determine the carrier wave of carrying CRS transmission, and the CRS according to configuration according to the CRS frequency offset amount of configuration with end side
Code sequence initial value determines the CRS sequence of actual transmissions.
2) base station is arranged in the CRS transmission ends being arranged to mute (mourning in silence) state on extension carrier wave to end side notice
Mouthful;Wherein, RE (RE (Resource Element, the resource that port is corresponding is transmitted, at the CRS being arranged to mute state, in base station
Unit) on do not transmit any information.
In the embodiment of the present invention, although the CRS that base station is notified of configuration to end side transmits port, but, in order to avoid
The interference of minizone, base station also needs to part CRS therein transmission port is set to mute state, base station CRS in this section
The RE that transmission port is corresponding does not carries out data transmission, does not the most carry out CRS transmission.The use sky, neighbor cell of administration community, base station
Line cap 1 transmits CRS, then, in order to avoid interfering the CRS of transmission on neighbor cell, base station is by this community vacant
The RE of antenna port 2 correspondence, thus reduce presence of intercell interference, e.g., refering to shown in Fig. 5, antenna port 1 is arranged to mute state
(i.e. lattice filling part)
In actual application, when any one CRS transmission port (e.g., antenna port 2) is set to mute state by base station, can
So that this CRS transmission port (is included normal descending sub frame and special son at all or part of descending sub frame of carrying CRS transmission
DwPTS in frame) in be disposed as mute state.
Based on above-described embodiment, refering to shown in Fig. 6, in the embodiment of the present invention, terminal receives network side on extension carrier wave
The flow process of the CRS of transmission is as follows:
Step 600: terminal notifies to determine to be arranged according to network side and extends the CRS transmission port used on carrier wave, wherein,
This extension carrier wave is the carrier wave that can not work alone..
In the embodiment of the present invention, the CRS transmission port used on extension carrier wave can be the antenna that system support uses
One in port or combination in any;Referring particularly to the associated description of step 300, do not repeat them here.
On the other hand, when performing step 600, terminal can notify according to network side, for the normal under TDD standard
Descending sub frame and special subframe determine that corresponding CRS transmits port, wherein, due to the duration of the DwPTS in special subframe respectively
Being shorter than the duration of normal descending sub frame, terminal can determine whether at least corresponding two the CRS transmission ends of the DwPTS in this special subframe
Mouthful.
In the present embodiment, terminal can determine normal descending sub frame and special son by the high-level signaling that network side sends
The CRS that frame is the most corresponding transmits port;Or, the high-level signaling sent by network side determines that normal descending sub frame is corresponding
CRS transmits port, and determines that the CRS that described special subframe is corresponding transmits port according to network side notice according to preset rules,
So-called preset rules refers to: when the orthogonal frequency division multiplex OFDM number of symbols in DwPTS in special subframe is more than 3 but less than 10
Time, if the number of CRS transmission port corresponding to normal subframe is N, and N < 4, it is determined that in special subframe, DwPTS is corresponding
The number of CRS transmission port is N+1;When the OFDM symbol number of DwPTS wind is only not more than 3 in special subframe, determine special son
CRS port number corresponding for DwPTS in frame is 4.
Step 610: terminal receives the CRS of network side transmission by the CRS transmission port configured.
In the above-described embodiments, after terminal determines the CRS transmission port of configuration according to network side notice, by configuring
Before CRS transmission port receives the CRS of network side transmission, the one in following any operation or combination in any can be performed (only
It is not limited to this for illustrating) including:
1) terminal determines the CRS frequency offset amount of use on extension carrier wave that is arranged according to the high-level signaling that network side sends
And the concrete value of CRS code sequence initial value, or, the high-level signaling sent by network side determine be arranged in extension carrier wave on
The CRS frequency offset amount used and additional ID parameter corresponding to CRS code sequence initial value.
2) terminal determines that according to network side notice being arranged on extension carrier wave the CRS being arranged to mourn in silence mute state transmits
Port;Wherein, terminal is transmitted at the CRS being arranged to mute state and is not carried out any information on the Resource Unit RE that port is corresponding
Transmission.On the other hand, when any one CRS transmission port is defined as mute state according to network side notice by terminal, permissible
Based on network side notice determine this any one CRS transmission port in all or part of descending sub frame of carrying CRS transmission all
For mute state.
The specific implementation of above steps, refering to the associated description of step 300-step 310, does not repeats them here.
