Can find out that the random number utilizing random sequence to generate that the embodiment of the present invention provides determines that the method for antenna index both ensure that antenna there will not be the situation of integrated distribution in spatial domain by the present embodiment, also can reach the object of Stochastic choice.
Fig. 3 is the schematic flow sheet of the defining method of the subcarrier index value at the descending pilot frequency place of antenna in the embodiment of the present invention, in the present embodiment, suppose that base station has 128 antennas, antenna index is 1,2 ..., 128, every root antenna can be used for sending pilot tone, but the technical scheme that provides of the embodiment of the present invention only some antennas wherein sends pilot tone, in the embodiment of the present invention, choose 1/4th in 128 antennas and send pilot tone, namely 32 antennas send pilot tone; The maximum bandwidth of supposing the system support is 20MHz, be equivalent to have 1200 subcarriers, in the embodiment of the present invention, choose 1/24th in 1200 subcarriers and send pilot tone, namely 50 subcarriers of base station only in 1200 subcarriers send pilot tone, its remaining sub-carriers sends data; Described 50 send the defining method of the sub-carrier indices of pilot tone as shown in Figure 3, comprise the following steps:
Step 301: according to the length of the maximum bandwidth determination subcarrier random number sequence that system is supported.
Here, maximum bandwidth due to system support is 20MHz, be equivalent to there are 1200 subcarriers, namely maximum sub-carrier indices is 1199, due to the binary number 11111111111 that length is 11, the digital scope of 0 ~ 2047 can be represented, therefore represent pilot sub-carrier index by the random number sequence that length is 11.
Step 302: determine more than one sequence according to preset rules, by described more than one sequence allocation to pilot tone place antenna in community and community, using described sequence as the initial value generating random number.
In the present embodiment, for the pilot sub-carrier index of any two antennas avoiding difference or neighbor cell can not overlap, namely pilot tone can not collide or produce interference, at least needs 7 × 32=224 bar random number sequence; The condition being selected 224 sequences 2048 random number sequences of 11 from length is: the random number generated during described 224 each cyclic shifts of random number sequence is different,
Step 303: every root antenna generates a series of random number according to described initial value cyclic shift.
Step 304: a series of random numbers generated are defined as the subcarrier index value at descending pilot frequency place by every root antenna.
Can be found out by the present embodiment, the subcarrier index value that can be met difference or pilot tone of any moment place, neighbor cell by above preset rules all can not be identical, namely the frequency domain position of pilot tone all can not collide, the subcarrier index value at pilot tone place is random and covers all Subcarrier range simultaneously, there will not be overstocked, avoid and intercept number of pilots situation very little in scheduling bandwidth 1.4MHz, affect the accuracy of channel measurement.
Fig. 4 is the schematic flow sheet to the defining method of the concrete sequence of the subcarrier index value at every root antenna determination pilot tone place of each community in the embodiment of the present invention; As shown in Figure 4, base station is after selecting more than one sequence satisfied condition, and need to distribute to each community and pilot tone place antenna, concrete distribution method comprises the following steps:
Step 401: more than determine one sequence is numbered, and described more than one sequence is divided into groups.
Here, the all sequences satisfied condition picked out is carried out predefine numbering, namely every bar sequence has and to number one to one, these sequences are divided into groups, packet mode is random, as long as ensure that the numbering comprised in each group can not be overlapping, and the number of each group of sequence comprised is more than or equal to the number of antennas selected by each community, the sequence that the antenna assignment one of namely sending pilot tone to every root is independent.
Such as, determine that altogether 224 sequences meet preset rules, described sequence be numbered 1,2 ..., 224, can be divided into 8 groups, the sequence numbering comprised in each sequence set can be as shown in table 1.
Group number The numbering comprised
1 1,3,5,6,9,……220
2 2,7,10,14,……217
3 4,8,12,19,……223
4 13,16,18,24……214

7 32,34,35,……
8 80,84,94……
Table 1
Step 402: the sequence set that base station gives each cell configuration used.
Here, base station unification is to each cell configuration sequence set used, to ensure when configuration that neighbor cell sequence set used is not identical, then base station is by community, signaling terminal place sequence set used, or base station and terminal are implied by community ID and obtain this community sequence set used.
The sequence set that the community of such as: predefine mod(community ID, 8)=1 is used is 1, mod(community ID, 8) sequence set that the community of the sequence set that the community of=2 is used is 2, mod(community ID, 8)=3 is used is 3.
Such as, Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of the sequence set that in the embodiment of the present invention, neighbor cell adopts, and configures the situation of the sequence set that certain adjacent 7 community adopts as shown in Figure 5.
Step 403: by described more than one sequence allocation in described sequence set to pilot tone place antenna in community, the sequence that described pilot tone place antenna is obtained is all different.
Preferably, after each community obtains sequence set, in community, the numbering in sequence set got successively by pilot tone place antenna according to antenna index order from small to large, can guarantee that the sequence of every root antenna at pilot tone place is all not identical like this.
Step 404: base station intercepts the pilot frequency sequence of corresponding length by system maximum bandwidth.
Above-mentioned sequence allocating method provided by the invention can be found out by the present embodiment, ensure that the sub-carrier indices at any two antenna pilot places of neighbor cell can not be identical, and utilize sequence generation random number to realize the randomized object of pilot tone frequency domain position.
Below in conjunction with embodiment, the whole process that in the embodiment of the present invention, pilot tone sends in pilot frequency locations is in a period of time described in further detail.
Before pilot tone sends, in a channel measurement interval, according to the random number that initiation sequence generates successively, base station determines that this community sends the subcarrier index value at pilot tone place on the antenna index value of pilot tone and every root antenna; Wherein, the selection of described initiation sequence will ensure that the random number generated covers whole antenna index or sub-carrier indices.Described determine to send pilot tone antenna index value and every root antenna on the method for subcarrier index value at pilot tone place as Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 method therefor, do not repeating herein.
Suppose the antenna determined in the present embodiment or antenna port index value for 1,5,9,17,24,36,42,56,78 ... 120}, in identical channel measurement time, the pilot tone between different antennae port can suppress interference by frequency division or the mode of time-division.
The sub-carrier indices namely selected of frequency division is different, and it is different that time-division and pilot tone send the OFDM symbol at place or time slot or subframe.
When adopting frequency division manner to suppress interference, be exactly in identical OFDM symbol, the sub-carrier indices at different antennae pilot tone place is determined according to this series of random numbers.Described employing frequency division manner suppresses to disturb the pilot sending method adopted to comprise the following steps:
Step 601: the maximum bandwidth value supported according to system and pilot-frequency expense, number of sub carrier wave namely shared by frequency domain generates the first pilot frequency sequence of corresponding length, and intercepts according to the system bandwidth of reality the second pilot frequency sequence that First ray obtains sending.
Such as, the maximum bandwidth of system support is 20MHz, and pilot-frequency expense is 1/24, and the length of the general pilot frequency sequence generated is 48.If real system bandwidth is 5MHz, only intercept the pilot frequency sequence in 5MHz from centre.
Step 602: described second pilot frequency sequence is mapped on the time-frequency location of the determined antenna of method provided by the invention.
Step 603: the frequency pilot sign mapped and other downlink datas are sent by antenna or antenna port by base station.
At different channel measurement intervals, the antenna selected by base station and sub-carrier indices group can by the multiplexing identical sequences of mode of time-division.Use antenna and sub-carrier indices in turn as far as possible, thus realize the randomized distribution of empty pilot tone position.
Such as, be the base station of 128 antennas for total number, the different antenna index selected by channel measurement interval can be as shown in table 2.
Table 2
Can find out, the antenna index of different base station selected by same channel Measuring Time can be overlapping, and the antenna selected by channel measurement interval that same base is different is as far as possible different, and selected antenna index is similar even value in 1 ~ 128.
For different channel measurement intervals, the situation that the sub-carrier indices of different antennae is chosen as shown in Figure 6.The index value of the subcarrier at different antennae pilot tone place is nonoverlapping, and pilot tone sparse random distribution in whole bandwidth, a series of random numbers that concrete index value generates according to the sequence of distributing are determined.In addition, in different channel measurement intervals, the index value of the subcarrier at different antennae pilot tone place can be identical.
