Fig. 2 shows the method for cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission in a base station of the embodiment of one aspect of the invention Flow chart.
Specifically, in the step s 21, base station obtains the channel information of each downlink.In TDD networks, using upper and lower The reciprocity of row channel, the detectable signal that base station can be sent by obtaining user equipment, estimates the user's equipment to base station Uplink channel information, and the channel information of the downlink as base station to user equipment.The channel information is preferred Ground can be channel matrix, be denoted as H.Wherein, for each base station, such as base station 1m and each user equipment, as user sets Standby 2i, we use Hm, Hi,It represents to be connected to base station 1m respectively, is connected to user equipment 2i and base station 1m and user Channel matrix between equipment 2i, wherein Hm, Hi,For a part for channel matrix H.Due to those skilled in the art for The technology that base station and user equipment estimate channel information according to the information received has been known, therefore this will not be detailed here.
In a preferred embodiment, base station will also determine the collaboration multiple spot for by other base station being cooperateed with to notify this base station The channel information of the downlink of the optional user equipment of joint transmission.Collaboration base station refers to set for user jointly herein The standby base station for carrying out collaboration multi-point joint transmission.Cooperate with base station can be statically predetermined or dynamically really Fixed.The process for being dynamically determined collaboration base station hereinafter will be further illustrated.
Preferably, the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission refers to the user positioned at cell edge position Equipment.When base station determine this base station service be located at cell edge position user equipment namely cooperate with multi-point joint transmission Optional user equipment after, will be sent to other collaboration base stations and obtain its to the optional of these collaboration multi-point joint transmissions The request message of the downlink channel information of family equipment.After other collaboration base stations receive the request message, it will get The channel information of the downlink of the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission.
Fig. 3 show one embodiment of one aspect of the present invention according to the channel information of each downlink and/or Measurement result from each user equipment determines the method for the optional user equipment of collaboration multi-point joint transmission and obtains it He cooperate with base station notify this base station collaboration multiple spot user equipment downlink channel information method flow chart.
First, each base station in the LTE-A network determines the optional user equipment of respective collaboration multi-point joint transmission. Specifically, example is connected, is described by taking the 1m of base station as an example.For all user equipmenies that base station 1m is serviced, in step In S31, measurement result that base station 1m is reported according to the channel information and the user's equipment of downlink, to determine the use Whether family equipment is located at cell edge position.If the user is located at cell edge position, then the user's equipment can be used as collaboration The optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.For example, for the user equipment 2i of base station 1m services, 1m control users in base station set Standby 2i carries out channel measurement.After user equipment 2i is measured according to measurement request, by the measurement result of reporting channel measurement Give base station 1m.When the channel measurement that base station 1m requirements user equipment 2i is carried out is affair, user equipment 2i is by basis Event triggering criterion carries out event evaluation, and when event triggering criterion meets, user equipment 2i sends measurement knot to base station 1m Fruit, wherein different measurement report events can be included, such as the events such as A1, A2, A3, A4, A5.When base station, 1m receives use Measurement report event transmitted by the equipment 2i of family such as A3 events, is represented for user equipment 2i, neighbor cell service quality Close to serving cell, then base station 1m confirmations user equipment 2i, which is in cell edge position, can simultaneously be used as collaboration multi-point joint The optional user equipment of transmission.With above-mentioned same method, base station 1m determines all associations in the user equipment of this base station service With the optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.Each base station in the LTE-A network by it is above-mentioned it is same in a manner of determine it is each From collaboration multi-point joint transmission optional user equipment.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that definite collaboration described herein The method of the optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission is descriptive and non-limiting, there are other various realization methods Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and it is incorporated herein by reference.
In a preferred embodiment, the base station in the LTE-A network can also be according to the channel of each downlink Information and/or measurement result from each user equipment determine one or more collaboration bases of collaboration multi-point joint transmission It stands.For example, connecting example, when base station, 1m receives the measurement report event transmitted by user equipment 2i, such as A3 events, represents For user equipment 2i, neighbor cell quality can be known close to serving cell, at this time base station 1m from measurement report event The base station of neighbor cell, such as base station 1n, then base station 1m is by the base station of the neighbor cell, as base station 1n as it cooperates with base station.With Such method, each base station can determine the collaboration base station of oneself.Preferably, each base station can establish multicast respectively Group, the collaboration base station of each base station are added in the multicast group, so as to be communicated with one another by Multicast group address.For example, collaboration base station Can respective load condition be exchanged by this multicast group, to determine to cooperate with the position of the resource block of multi-point joint transmission And size.
Then, it is each for the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission in the step S32 shown in Fig. 3 Base station sends the request message for obtaining downlink channel information to other collaboration base stations.
Example is connected, the process that the request message is sent still is illustrated by taking the 1m of base station as an example.For example, in step S31, base The 1m that stands determines that the user equipment 2i and 2j of its service are the optional user equipment of collaboration multi-point joint transmission.In step s 32, Base station 1m sends the request message for the downlink channel information for getting the user's equipment 2i and 2j to other collaboration base stations. Since collaboration base station number can be one or more, it is preferable that base station 1m can use the mode of multicast to each collaboration Base station sends the detection message.Specifically, as it was noted above, collaboration base station, which is added to one, cooperates with the more of multi-point joint transmission Group is broadcast, then these collaboration base stations can exchange message by the Multicast group address.In this example, base station 1m can pass through this Multicast group address sends the downlink channel for getting user equipment 2i and user equipment 2j letter to each collaboration base station The request message of breath.In another embodiment, base station can also point of use to point mode to it is each collaboration base station send should please Seek message.In the same way, each base station in the LTE-A networks sends to other collaboration base stations and gets respective collaboration The request message of the downlink channel information of the optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.Those skilled in the art should manage Solution, it is described herein send obtain downlink channel information request message method be it is descriptive and non-limiting, In the presence of other various realization methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and it is incorporated herein by reference.
Then, in the step S33 shown in Fig. 3, base station is received gets its collaboration multiple spot from other collaboration base stations The request message of the downlink channel information of the optional user equipment of joint transmission.Since those skilled in the art are for connecing The technology for receiving message has been known, is no longer described in detail herein.
In step S34, base station is receiving the request of the acquisition downlink channel information from other collaboration base stations After message, the channel information of the downlink of the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission of other base stations will be got. Specifically, for example, each base station is by according to the process of above-mentioned acquisition channel information, the collaboration multiple spot to arrive other collaboration base stations joins The downlink for closing the optional user equipment of transmission measures and generates channel matrix.
Then, as shown in Fig. 2, in step S22, base station is according to the channel information of the downlink of acquisition, under generation is each The label of line link.Herein, each downlink includes cooperateing with base station to the user equipment of this base station service and to other Notify the downlink of the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission of this base station.Wherein it is preferred to it is above two The method of downlink generation label is consistent.
It is the downlink life to user equipment 2i to illustrate base station 1m by taking base station 1m and user equipment 2i as an example below Into the process of label.Again, we use Hm, Hi,To represent to be connected to base station 1m, user equipment 2i and base station respectively Channel matrix between 1m and user equipment 2i, wherein Hm, Hi,For a part for channel matrix H.
In one embodiment, we determine the downlink between base station and user equipment and the predetermined code book C first ={C1,C2,...ClEach precoding vector between the degree of correlation.Herein, the precoding of downlink and the predetermined code book to The degree of correlation between amount refers to the inner product of the downlink and precoding vector.For example, the user equipment 2i of base station 1m services, right Precoding vector C in predetermined code book Ck∈{C1,C2,...Cl, the degree of correlation isIf the relevance degree compared with Height then means that most of energy from base station 1m to the signal of the user's equipment 2i can be projected to precoding vector Ck The direction at place, and there is smaller interference between other directions.Preferably, we match to determine using maximum inner product That highest precoding vector of the highest degree of correlation and the degree of correlation between downlink,
The maximum inner product matching technique is well known to those skilled in the art, therefore is no longer described in detail herein.
Then, label is generated according to the identified degree of correlation and the highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation.It is preferred that Ground can classify to downlink according to highest relevance degree.It for example, can be according to such as empirical value or historical statistics Value is classified to set the threshold value of the highest degree of correlation according to threshold value.When the highest degree of correlation is higher than the threshold value, meaning Between the channel of the downlink and other directions has smaller interference, can generate " high-quality " label for it;And work as highest When the degree of correlation is not higher than the threshold value, " non-prime " label can be generated for it.It preferably, can also be according in the predetermined code book Label is generated with the information of that highest precoding vector of the downlink degree of correlation.For example it is assumed that CkFor the degree of correlation most High precoding vector for above-mentioned " high-quality " downlink, can use 2*Ck, it is used as label for an even number value;And For " non-prime " downlink, 2*C can be usedk+ 1, it is used as label for an odd number value.It can be seen that from label In not only can obtain the highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation, while can also obtain the downlink the highest degree of correlation namely should Whether downlink has preferable channel condition.In addition, various other information can also be included in label, for example, RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power, reference signal receiving intensity), these information it is subsequent scheduling waited It can be used in journey.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that herein, on the definite degree of correlation, generate the process of label with And the description of information that label includes is merely illustrative and non-limiting description, there are various other realization methods without carrying on the back Spirit or scope from the present invention, and be incorporated herein by reference.
According to the above method, base station 1m is that other downlinks generate label.And according to the above method, the LTE-A Each base station 11 in network, base station 12 ... ..., base station 1M come to generate label for each downlink in the same way.
Then, as shown in Fig. 2, in step S23, base station is when cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, according to each downlink The label, to dispatch each downlink.Specifically, example is connected, illustrates that it dispatches each downlink by taking the 1m of base station as an example Process.Base station 1m is according to each downlink label value, for different system performance goals, to determine to carry out collaboration multiple spot The user equipment of joint transmission.For example, it is contemplated that reducing interference, prelisting for the downlink and the code book is determined according to label Degree of correlation information between code vector, the downlink that from the user equipment that this base station services the degree of correlation can be selected higher, Make i.e. when each other using different precoding vectors with the user equipment of the smaller downlink of interference of other interchannels To cooperate with the user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.Then, base station 1m dispatches other one or more collaboration base stations and is set to the user Standby downlink carries out collaboration multi-point joint transmission.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that herein, on each downlink of scheduling The description of link is merely illustrative and non-limiting description, there are various other realization methods without departing from the essence of the present invention God or scope, and be incorporated herein by reference.
Preferably, it is each to cooperate with base station that mark off certain frequency band in advance to avoid resource contention, to cooperate with multiple spot The resource block that the optional user of joint transmission is distributed will in this band, and what is marked off in each collaboration base station is somebody's turn to do Certain frequency band is identical.In addition, by the size for the resource block that user distributes it is identical between each collaboration base station.
In addition, as is it well known, to minimize inter-stream interference and inter-user interference, the optimal case in down channel It is using DPC(Dirty paper coding, dirty paper code)Scheme.However, DPC schemes complexity is very high and in base station Place needs to predict the substantial amounts of information of user.Therefore, will generally use as being based on force zero(ZF, Zero Forcing)Technology, Transmission is carried out at the same time by the multiple streams or user of the orthogonality for the space channel for selecting to have had, so as to be with relatively low System realize cost reduce stream between and inter-user interference.When cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, since multiple base stations are simultaneously to be same A user equipment is transmitted, and is disturbed the inter-station interference coordinating, it is necessary to complicated to reduce, and is needed to use and such as be based on The joint precoding technique of force zero principle, but it will likely cause certain energy loss, especially when the plurality of base station to use There are during larger interference between the downlink of family equipment.Therefore need select disturb to each other smaller downlink come into Row collaboration multi-point joint transmission.As it was noted above, the predetermined code book and the downlink are included in the label of downlink The highest precoding vector of the link degree of correlation.According to codebook design principle, if the degree of correlation of two downlinks is highest pre- Coding vector is identical, generally means that there are stronger interference between two downlinks;, whereas if two downlinks The highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation of link is different, generally means that there is no stronger between two downlinks Interference.Therefore, according to the label of downlink, we can select the highest precoding vector of each degree of correlation differing from each other Downlink carry out collaboration multi-point joint transmission.In addition, as it is well known to the skilled in the art, base station can basis As force zero principle carries out user's pairing, and pairing user is carried out at the same time by signal transmission is to maximize using identical resource System handling capacity.Maximum can match number of users and can be predetermined, if for example, base station have 8 antennas, can be according to need Will, maximum can be matched into number of users and be set as no more than 8, be, for example, 4 value.In an embodiment of the method in accordance with the present invention, Each base station can determine that the maximum of this base station can match number of users according to the label of downlink.Specifically, base station is under each The degree of correlation information of downlink is determined in line link label.For example, as previously mentioned, even number class label mean the degree of correlation compared with Height namely when each other use different precoding vectors when it is smaller with the interference of other interchannels, and odd type label meaning Taste the degree of correlation it is relatively low namely when each other use different precoding vectors when it is larger with the interference of other interchannels.It is preferred that Ground, we can determine that maximum can match number of users according to the degree of correlation of downlink.If for example, base station it is all under Line link all has even tag, then means between each user equipment when using different precoding vectors to each other Interference is smaller, we, which can increase maximum, at this time can match number of users, such as be adjusted to 4, to improve throughput of system.On the contrary Ground, if all downlinks of base station all have odd tag, mean between each user equipment use it is different pre- Interference during coding vector to each other is larger, at this point, we, which can reduce maximum, can match number of users, is such as adjusted to 2, comes Ensure acceptable QoS of customer.And when the downlink of base station has the combination of even tag and odd tag, I Maximum can be matched number of users and be adjusted to 3.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that definite maximum described herein can The method for matching number of users is descriptive and non-limiting, there are other various realization methods without departing from the present invention's Spirit and scope.
It in a further embodiment of the method in accordance with the present invention, can be when cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, under each The label of line link and the maximum determined according to the above method can match number of users to dispatch each downlink.Each collaboration base Standing can select not more than maximum that can match the user equipment of number of users to be carried out at the same time transmission.
Fig. 4 shows the scheduling candidate downlink in the base station of LTE-A network of another embodiment of one aspect of the invention The method flow diagram of link.
Specifically, example is connected, the process of its scheduling candidate downlink is illustrated by taking the 1m of base station as an example.In step S41 In, base station 1m is known related between the downlink and the precoding vector of the code book according to each downlink label value Spend information.When being scheduled, as described above, for different system performance objective, such as consider to reduce interference, it can be from this Base station service user equipment in, select the degree of correlation it is higher namely when each other use different precoding vectors when and other The user equipment of the smaller downlink of interference of interchannel, is such as user equipment 2i, the time as collaboration multi-point joint transmission Select user equipment.In addition it is also possible to reference to the degree of correlation and proportional fairness principle, in the user equipment serviced from this base station, choosing Select candidate user devices of the user equipment as collaboration multi-point joint transmission.Below to being incited somebody to action in the explanation of the embodiment of Fig. 5 a Further illustrate more preferred embodiments on definite candidate user devices.Then, base station 1m notifies that other collaborations are more The cooperation district of point joint transmission is scheduled preparation for candidate user devices 2i.Then, in step S42, it is preferable that Other cooperation districts can send the cooperation district to the label of the downlink of candidate user devices 2i to base station 1m.Then, Base station 1m selects the downlink wherein with higher degree of relation value according to the label received, as base station 1n is set to user The downlink of standby 2i, the candidate downlink as collaboration multi-point joint transmission.Then, in step S43, base station 1m tune Each candidate downlink is spent, downlink and base station 1n including this base station to user equipment 2i are to user equipment 2i's Downlink, to carry out collaboration multi-point joint transmission.Below to will be further illustrated in the explanation of the embodiment of Fig. 5 b on More preferred embodiments of scheduling candidate downlink.Since those skilled in the art after the completion of scheduling for cooperateing with The technology of multi-point joint transmission has been known, therefore this will not be detailed here.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that herein, on scheduling The description of each candidate downlink is merely illustrative and non-limiting description, there are various other realization methods without departing from The spirit or scope of the present invention, and be incorporated herein by reference.

Example is connected, the process that the request message is sent is illustrated by taking the request message sending device of base station 1m as an example.Example Such as, the optional user equipment determining device of base station 1m determines the user equipment 2i and 2j of its service for collaboration multi-point joint transmission Optional user equipment.The request message sending device of base station 1m sends to other collaboration base stations and gets the user's equipment 2i With the request message of the downlink channel information of 2j.Since collaboration base station number can be one or more, it is preferable that base Stand 1m request message sending device can use multicast mode to it is each collaboration base station send the detection message.Specifically, As it was noted above, collaborative device can be respectively the multicast group that collaboration multi-point joint transmission is established in base station, collaboration base station is added to The multicast group of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission, then these collaboration base stations can pass through the Multicast group address exchange message. In this example, the request message sending device of base station 1m can send the acquisition by this Multicast group address to each collaboration base station To user equipment 2i and the request message of the downlink channel information of user equipment 2j.In another embodiment, base station Request message sending device can also point of use to point mode to it is each collaboration base station send the request message.With same side Method, the request message sending device of each base station in the LTE-A network is sent to other collaboration base stations gets respective association With the request message of the downlink channel information of the optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.Those skilled in the art should manage Solution, the device of the request message described herein that downlink channel information is obtained for transmission is descriptive and non-limiting Property, there are other various realization methods without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and be contained in by reference This.
Then, request message reception device is received gets its collaboration multi-point joint transmission from other collaboration base stations Optional user equipment downlink channel information request message.Since those skilled in the art are for receiving message Technology has been known, is no longer described in detail herein.
Base station receives the request of the acquisition downlink channel information from other collaboration base stations in request reception device After message, the second acquisition device will get the downlink chain of the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission of other base stations The channel information on road.Specifically, for example, the second acquisition device of each base station by according to obtain channel information process, to arrive it He cooperates with the downlink of the optional user equipment of the collaboration multi-point joint transmission of base station to measure and generates channel matrix.
Then, tag channel information of the device according to the downlink of acquisition, generates the label of each downlink.This Place, each downlink include the user equipment serviced to this base station and the association of this base station are notified to other collaboration base stations With the downlink of the optional user equipment of multi-point joint transmission.Wherein it is preferred to it is above two downlink generation mark The method of label is consistent.
The device that tags for illustrating base station 1m by taking base station 1m and user equipment 2i as an example below is to user equipment 2i Downlink generation label process.Again, we use Hm, Hi,To represent to be connected to base station 1m, Yong Hushe respectively Standby channel matrix between 2i and base station 1m and user equipment 2i, wherein Hm, Hi,For a part for channel matrix H.
In one embodiment, the device that tags is included for the channel information according to each downlink, determines each downlink The degree of correlation between the downlink of the degree of correlation and predetermined code book between the precoding vector of link and predetermined code book is most The degree of correlation determining device of high precoding vector and for according to the degree of correlation and the highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation, Generate the label generating means of the label of each downlink.
Degree of correlation determining device determines the downlink between base station and user equipment and the predetermined code book C={ C first1, C2,...ClEach precoding vector between the degree of correlation.Herein, between the precoding vector of downlink and the predetermined code book The degree of correlation refers to the inner product of the downlink and precoding vector.For example, the user equipment 2i of base station 1m services, for predetermined Precoding vector C in code book Ck∈{C1,C2,...Cl, the degree of correlation isIf the relevance degree is higher, anticipate Most of energy that taste from base station 1m to the signal of the user's equipment 2i can be projected to precoding vector CkPlace Direction, and there is smaller interference between other directions.Preferably, degree of correlation determining device matches to come using maximum inner product Determine the highest degree of correlation and that highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation between downlink,
Maximum inner product matching is well known to those skilled in the art, therefore is no longer described in detail herein.
Then, label generating means are according to the identified degree of correlation and the degree of correlation highest precoding vector next life Into label.Preferably, label generating means can classify to downlink according to highest relevance degree.For example, it can With according to if empirical value or historical statistics value are to set the threshold value of the highest degree of correlation, and classified according to threshold value.Work as highest When the degree of correlation is higher than the threshold value, it is meant that there is smaller interference, label life between the channel of the downlink and other directions " high-quality " label can be generated into device for it;And when the highest degree of correlation is not higher than the threshold value, label generating means can be it Generate " non-prime " label.Preferably, label generating means can also be according to related to the downlink in the predetermined code book The information of that highest precoding vector is spent to generate label.For example it is assumed that CkFor the highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation, For above-mentioned " high-quality " downlink, 2*C can be usedk, it is used as label for an even number value;And under " non-prime " Line link can use 2*Ck+ 1, it is used as label for an odd number value.It can be seen that it not only can obtain correlation from label Highest precoding vector is spent, while can also obtain whether the highest degree of correlation of the downlink namely the downlink have Preferable channel condition.In addition, various other information can also be included in label, for example, RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power, reference signal receiving intensity), these information it is subsequent scheduling etc. during can be used.This Field technology personnel should be understood that herein, on degree of correlation determining device, information that label generating means and label include Description is merely illustrative and non-limiting description, there are various other realization methods without departing from the spirit or model of the present invention Farmland, and be incorporated herein by reference.
According to the above method, the device that tags of base station 1m is that other downlinks generate label.And according to above-mentioned Method, each base station 11 in the LTE-A network, base station 12 ... ..., base station 1M's tags device in the same way To generate label for each downlink.
Then, the first dispatching device is when cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, according to the label of each downlink, to adjust Spend each downlink.Specifically, example is connected, illustrates that it dispatches each downlink by taking the first dispatching device of base station 1m as an example Process.The first dispatching device of base station 1m, for different system performance goals, comes according to each downlink label value It determines to carry out the user equipment for cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission.For example, being disturbed for considering to reduce, the first dispatching device is according to mark Label determine the degree of correlation information between the precoding vector of the downlink and the code book, the user that can be serviced from this base station Selected in equipment the higher downlink of the degree of correlation namely when using different precoding vectors each other with other interchannels The user equipment of the smaller downlink of interference be used as the user equipment of collaboration multi-point joint transmission.Then, base station 1m First dispatching device dispatches other one or more collaboration base stations and carries out collaboration multiple spot to the downlink of the user's equipment Joint transmission.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that herein, the description as described in the first dispatching device is merely illustrative and non-limiting Property description, there are various other realization methods without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention, and are contained in by reference This.
Another embodiment of the first dispatching device of the collaborative device of the present invention is further described below.First scheduling Device is included for the label according to downlink, determines the first candidate of the candidate user devices of collaboration multi-point joint transmission User equipment determining device;Candidate for the label according to each downlink and identified collaboration multi-point joint transmission uses Family equipment determines the first candidate downlink determining device of the candidate downlink of collaboration multi-point joint transmission;And it is used for When cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, according to the label of each downlink, to cooperate with the candidate user devices of multi-point joint transmission, Second dispatching device of scheduling candidate downlink.
Preferably, to avoid resource contention, each collaborative device for cooperateing with base station can mark off certain frequency band in advance, The resource block distributed for the optional user for cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission will in this band.And in each collaboration base station The certain frequency band marked off is identical.In addition, the size of the resource block distributed between each collaboration base station by user It is identical.
In addition, as is it well known, to minimize inter-stream interference and inter-user interference, the optimal case in down channel It is using DPC(Dirty paper coding, dirty paper code)Scheme.However, DPC schemes complexity is very high and in base station Place needs to predict the substantial amounts of information of user.Therefore, will generally use as being based on force zero(ZF, Zero Forcing)Technology, Transmission is carried out at the same time by the multiple streams or user of the orthogonality for the space channel for selecting to have had, so as to be with relatively low System realize cost reduce stream between and inter-user interference.When cooperateing with multi-point joint transmission, since multiple base stations are simultaneously to be same A user equipment is transmitted, and is disturbed the inter-station interference coordinating, it is necessary to complicated to reduce, and is needed to use and such as be based on The joint precoding technique of force zero principle, but it will likely cause certain energy loss, especially when the plurality of base station to use There are during larger interference between the downlink of family equipment.Therefore need select disturb to each other smaller downlink come into Row collaboration multi-point joint transmission.As it was noted above, the predetermined code book and the downlink are included in the label of downlink The highest precoding vector of the link degree of correlation.According to codebook design principle, if the degree of correlation of two downlinks is highest pre- Coding vector is identical, generally means that there are stronger interference between two downlinks;, whereas if two downlinks The highest precoding vector of the degree of correlation of link is different, generally means that there is no stronger between two downlinks Interference.Therefore, according to the label of downlink, collaborative device can not select the highest precoding vector of each degree of correlation each other not Identical downlink carries out collaboration multi-point joint transmission.
In addition, as it is well known to the skilled in the art, base station can according to such as force zero principle carry out user's pairing, and Signal transmission is carried out at the same time with maximum system throughput to pairing user using identical resource.Maximum can match number of users Can be predetermined, if for example, base station have 8 antennas, can be as needed, by maximum can match number of users setting It is, for example, 4 value to be not more than 8.In the embodiment of collaborative device according to the present invention, the maximum of each base station can match use Amount determining device determines that the maximum of this base station can match number of users according to the label of downlink.Specifically, base station is most The degree of correlation information that number of users determining device determines downlink from each downlink label can be matched greatly.For example, such as preceding institute State, even number class label mean the degree of correlation it is higher namely when each other use different precoding vectors when with other interchannels Interference it is smaller, and odd type label mean the degree of correlation it is relatively low namely when each other use different precoding vectors when with The interference of other interchannels is larger.Preferably, it is maximum can match number of users determining device can be according to the channel item of downlink Part determines that maximum can match number of users.For example, if all downlinks of base station all have even tag, mean When using different precoding vectors, mutual interference is smaller between each user equipment, and maximum can match number of users at this time Determining device, which can increase maximum, can match number of users, such as be adjusted to 4, to improve throughput of system.If on the contrary, base station All downlinks all there is odd tag, then mean between each user equipment when using different precoding vectors Mutual interference is larger, can reduce maximum at this point, maximum can match number of users determining device and can match number of users, such as adjusts Whole is 2, to ensure acceptable QoS of customer.And when the downlink of base station has even tag and odd tag During combination, maximum, which can match number of users determining device and can maximum can be matched number of users, is adjusted to 3.Those skilled in the art It is to be understood that it is descriptive and non-limiting that maximum described herein, which can match number of users determining device, exist other each Kind realization method is without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
In another embodiment of collaborative device according to the present invention, the first dispatching device further includes cooperateing with During multi-point joint transmission, number of users can be matched according to the label of each downlink and the maximum, to dispatch 4th dispatching device of each downlink.Specifically, respectively the 4th dispatching device of collaboration base station can select not more than most The user equipment of number of users can be matched greatly to be carried out at the same time transmission.
Specifically, example is connected, the mistake of its scheduling candidate downlink is illustrated by taking the first dispatching device of base station 1m as an example Journey.
