Terminal can be applied the antenna port grouping information of the network equipment in step 501 and/or step 502, tool
Holding in vivo can be found in subsequent descriptions.
In the step 501 of above-mentioned process, terminal can obtain the downlink channel condition phase with the terminal in several ways
The transformation pre-coding matrix of pass, exemplarily only enumerates two ways below: mode A1 and mode A2.
Mode A1: transformation relevant to the downlink channel condition of the terminal is obtained by the configuration information that the network equipment is sent
Pre-coding matrix
In aforesaid way A1, the network equipment, such as base station, configuration information can be sent to terminal, pass through the configuration information
Transformation pre-coding matrix relevant to the downlink channel condition of the terminal is indicated to terminal.The configuration transmitted by the network equipment
Information can be other equipment (such as network management device) configuration, be also possible to the network equipment by sending downlink ginseng
Examine signal and according to the measurement feedback acquisition of terminal.The configuration information that the terminal is sent according to the network equipment obtains
Transformation pre-coding matrix relevant to the downlink channel condition of the terminal.
Wherein, the DCI that the configuration information can carry out data transmission by high-level signaling or by dispatching the terminal
(Downlink Control Information, Downlink Control Information) is sent to the terminal.
In aforesaid way A1, terminal can be indicated to by PMI to transformation precoding indicated by terminal.Terminal and network are set
It is standby to be above provided with transformation pre-coding matrix set in advance, and the corresponding relationship of the transformation pre-coding matrix and PMI in the set is
Well known to terminal and the network equipment, the corresponding relationship of pre-coding matrix and PMI is converted for example, can make an appointment, can also be passed through
The network equipment is notified to terminal.In this way, terminal can obtain corresponding change from the transformation pre-coding matrix set according to the PMI
Change pre-coding matrix.
Wherein, it can be one to PMI indicated by terminal and be also possible to N number of, N is integer greater than 1.If to terminal
Indicated PMI is one, then a transformation pre-coding matrix in the corresponding transformation pre-coding matrix set of the PMI;Such as
Fruit to PMI indicated by terminal be it is N number of, then correspond in pre-coding matrix set one of each PMI in N number of PMI prelists
Code matrix, the corresponding pre-coding matrix of different PMI belong to identical or different pre-coding matrix set, and the terminal is according to
The corresponding N number of pre-coding matrix of N number of PMI determines transformation pre-coding matrix.For example, transformation pre-coding matrix is (pre- by two code words
An element in encoder matrix set is known as code word) it determines, it is either different that the two code words may belong to identical code book
Code book (pre-coding matrix collection is collectively referred to as code book).After terminal receives the PMI of two code words of base station configuration, determine it respectively
Corresponding code word, is denoted as matrix V 1 and matrix V 2 respectively, and terminal obtains transformation precoding square after carrying out operation to V1 and matrix V 2
Battle array, such as transformation pre-coding matrix V is obtained according to following operation:OrWherein,For
Kronecker product calculation.
In view of the index coding mode of the pre-coding matrix in pre-coding matrix set is varied, a kind of possible feelings
Condition is the pre-coding matrix indicated in a set with multiple PMI, for example, the index information of the code word in code book is with two
Array representation is tieed up, in this way, a code word needs 2 PMI to indicate.Accordingly, as one embodiment of the present of invention, network
Equipment can be multiple, in the corresponding transformation pre-coding matrix set of the multiple PMI one to PMI indicated by terminal
Convert pre-coding matrix.
Certainly, the network equipment is also possible to the tool of the transformation pre-coding matrix to transformation pre-coding matrix indicated by terminal
Body value, i.e., the value of each element in pre-coding matrix.
Preferably, the network equipment can indicate the shared transformation of all antenna port groupings to terminal by the configuration information
Pre-coding matrix can also indicate that each antenna port is grouped corresponding transformation pre-coding matrix to terminal.Specific instruction
Method can be found in foregoing description.
Mode A2: transformation relevant to the downlink channel condition of the terminal is obtained by the down channel measurement of terminal and is prelisted
Code matrix
In aforesaid way A2, the descending channel information that terminal is obtained according to measurement determines transformation pre-coding matrix.Its
In, terminal can be measured according to the downlink reference signal sent to all antenna ports, be corresponded to according to measurement result
Transformation pre-coding matrix, the transformation pre-coding matrix can by all antenna ports be grouped share.Terminal can also be for every
Group antenna port measures respectively obtains corresponding transformation pre-coding matrix.
For latter situation, specifically, terminal measures respectively for every group of antenna port obtains corresponding transformation in advance
Encoder matrix.For example, the descending channel information that terminal can be obtained according to measurement, according to capacity maximum or receives power maximum
Principle or according to the downlink of estimation reach angle Selection convert pre-coding matrix.Generally, terminal can be according under statistics
Row channel information obtains the pre-coding matrix, such as after to the corresponding channel information of some antenna ports carrying out statistical average
The channel information that (such as being averaged to the corresponding channel correlation matrix of horizontal antenna) obtains, or to descending channel information into
The channel information obtained after statistical average when row is long, to calculate the transformation pre-coding matrix.
In the step 502 of above-mentioned process, terminal is determining that the process of equivalent descending channel information may include following steps:
Terminal carries out downlink channel condition information measurement according to the reference signal for carrying out channel state information measurement, obtains
Down channel estimated value is obtained, for example, LS (least square) channel estimation method, which can be used, obtains down channel estimated value.The use
It can be CSI-RS (Channel State Information in the reference signal for carrying out channel state information measurement
Reference Signal, channel state information reference signals) either CRS (Cell-specific Reference
Signal, cell reference signals) or it is other for carrying out the reference signal of channel state information measurement, the present invention is implemented
Example to this with no restriction.The terminal carries out the down channel estimated value according to the transformation pre-coding matrix acquired
Transformation obtains transformation channel estimation value;The terminal is filtered to obtain equivalent to the transformation channel estimation value acquired
Descending channel information.
It in the prior art, will be for every after terminal estimates the LS channel estimation value of each antenna port
The channel of a antenna port carries out the filtering of time domain and frequency domain.In the case that number of antennas in base station is more, this filtering operation
A large amount of system resource will be expended.But in embodiments of the present invention, terminal is only needed for the equivalent channel after transformation
It is filtered, the dimension of operation substantially reduces, to reduce the complexity and power consumption of terminal realization.
Preferably, in the step 502 of above-mentioned process, terminal can carry out equivalent down channel based on antenna port grouping
The determination of information.
Specifically, terminal is according to the transformation pre-coding matrix, respectively corresponding to the K group antenna port to the network equipment
Down channel estimated value is weighted merging, obtain K group transformation channel estimation value, then to the K group transformation channel estimation value into
Row filtering, obtains the equivalent descending channel information of K group.
Wherein, each antenna port grouping can become channel estimation value using identical transformation pre-coding matrix
It changes, different antenna port groupings can also convert channel estimation value using different transformation pre-coding matrixes.If
The network equipment is that a transformation pre-coding matrix has been respectively configured in each antenna port, then terminal can use each antenna end
The transformation pre-coding matrix of mouth grouping is grouped corresponding channel estimation results to the antenna port and converts.If terminal is logical
Cross measurement down channel obtain transformation pre-coding matrix, as previously mentioned, terminal can for each antenna port grouping respectively into
Row survey calculation obtains transformation pre-coding matrix, and terminal can be with the transformation pre-coding matrix that each antenna port is grouped to the day
Line end mouth is grouped corresponding channel estimation value and is converted.
For the ease of being more clearly understood that the specific implementation process of step 502, have below with the antenna system of base station N number of
Antenna port, terminal receiving antenna are the specific implementation process of description step 502 for 1 antenna.Terminal has more than 1 piece-root grafting
The case where receiving antenna, every receiving antenna use here like processing mode.Meanwhile description here is with each antenna port point
The channel estimation value of group is using for identical transformation pre-coding matrix, and when specific implementation, different antennae port is grouped corresponding
Channel estimation value can use identical transformation pre-coding matrix, can also use transformation pre-coding matrix independent, real
Existing method is identical.The process can be described in detail below:
Terminal obtains the LS channel estimation value of mutiple antennas port in a CSI-RS resource.Here, by port n
Reception signal on the RE (Recourse Element, resource unit) of occupancy is denoted as Yn, the pilot signal note transmitted on the n of port
For Sn, then the LS channel estimation value on the n of port are as follows:
The channel least-squares estimation value of N number of antenna port is grouped by terminal, is divided into K group, P antenna of every group of correspondence
Port, N=K × P.The LS channel estimation value of kth group antenna port is arranged as vector:
Wherein,It is the LS channel estimation value for assigning to the 1st antenna port of kth group, other and so on.
Terminal converts every group of LS channel estimation value with the transformation pre-coding matrix determined:
Zk=GkV, k=1,2 ..., K ... ... ... ... ... ... (3)
Wherein, ZkIt is the transformation channel estimation value after the transformation of kth group.
Terminal handles every group of transformation channel estimation value, such as is filtered, and obtains more accurate channel and estimates
Evaluation.For example, time domain least mean squares the error filtering perhaps filtering of frequency domain least mean-square error or time domain and frequency domain can be carried out
United least mean-square error filtering.Refer to for the time domain least mean squares error filtering of kth group antenna port by a subframe
Or the transformation channel estimation value of kth group antenna port on the same frequency is filtered in multiple subframes.If kth group antenna
There are multiple transformation channel estimation values in port in the identical frequency in one or more subframe, that is, there are multiple and different time points
Value, the filtering processing between these values can further suppress noise and interference, improve the precision of channel estimation.Frequency domain
Filtering and time domain are identical with the treatment process of frequency-domain combined filtering.Terminal can also first carry out time-domain filtering, on this basis
Frequency domain filtering is carried out again, alternatively, advanced row frequency domain filtering, carries out time-domain filtering again on this basis.
The equivalent channel estimated value of kth group after note post-processing is Wk, K group antenna port equivalent channel estimation constitute from
Equivalent channel of the base station to the port K × r of terminal:
[W1 W2 … WK]=[G1V G2V … GKV]……………………(4)
Wherein, the columns of r representing matrix V.
In the step 503 of above-mentioned process, the calculating of equivalent descending channel information progress CSI of the terminal based on acquisition is simultaneously anti-
Feedback, the CSI include one of following information or any combination: RI (rank indication, order instruction), PMI, CQI
(Channel Quality Indicator, channel quality instruction), RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving
Power, Reference Signal Received Power).For example, terminal carries out CSI based on the equivalent channel of the port K × r obtained in step 502
It calculates and feeds back, wherein when terminal carries out PMI estimation, code book used is the corresponding code book of K × r antenna port.
It should be noted that can be each CSI-RS if the network equipment is that terminal is configured with multiple CSI-RS resource
Corresponding transformation pre-coding matrix, configuration and corresponding transformation of the terminal based on each CSI-RS resource is respectively configured in resource
Pre-coding matrix executes process shown in fig. 5.The network equipment may be the identical transformation of all CSI-RS resource configurations
Pre-coding matrix, terminal is based on each CSI-RS resource and the transformation pre-coding matrix executes process shown in fig. 5.
Pass through the description to above-mentioned process shown in fig. 5, it can be seen that terminal is according to the downlink channel condition with the terminal
Relevant transformation pre-coding matrix, and the obtained down channel estimated value of measurement, obtain equivalent descending channel information, and according to
The equivalent descending channel information of the acquisition carries out information feedback, realizes the purpose of information feedback.
On the other hand, since transformation pre-coding matrix is relevant to the downlink channel condition of terminal, but it is independent with interference and noise,
Therefore the downlink that the terminal can be improved after the down channel estimated value transformation of the terminal is believed based on the transformation pre-coding matrix
The signal-to-noise ratio in road.
The embodiment of the present invention improves the precision of channel estimation, and the coverage area for being equivalent to base station expands.Assuming that n-th day
The real channel of line end mouth to terminal is Hn, then the signal that terminal receives can be expressed as Yn=HnSn+In, wherein InIt is terminal
The interference received in corresponding resource and noise, it is assumed that its variance is σ2, and assume to interfere and make an uproar on different antennae port
The power of sound is identical, then the LS channel estimation value of port n can indicate are as follows:
It might as well assume that pilot signal is unit power, i.e. I'nVariance remain as σ2, then the LS channel estimation value
Middle Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) (Signal-to-Noise Ratio, signal-to-noise ratio) are as follows:
It is by the least square on P antenna port according to the equivalent LS channel estimation value that formula (3) is calculated
What channel estimation value merged, the SNR of the equivalent LS channel estimation value then becomes:
Wherein, Hk,1Real channel of the 1st antenna port of kth group to terminal.In formula (7), if V=[Hk,1 Hk,2 …
Hk,P]H, then SNR can achieve maximum value:
As can be seen that the SNR will be higher than the SNR of single port LS channel estimation value.In practice, the value meeting of V
And optimal value has deviation, as long as but deviation is little, LS channel estimation value still can be improved in this method
SNR, that is, reduce the evaluated error of LS channel estimation value.
