In the specific descriptions of following preferred embodiment, will be a part of with reference to constituting the present invention Appended accompanying drawing.Appended accompanying drawing has been illustrated by way of example and has been capable of the present invention's Specific embodiment.The embodiment of example is not intended as all enforcements according to the present invention for the limit Example.It is appreciated that without departing from the scope of the present invention, it is possible to use other enforcements Example is it is also possible to carry out structural or logicality modification.Therefore, specific descriptions below are simultaneously Nonrestrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims appended hereto.
Hereinafter the ofdm system considering a multiple-input, multiple-output MIMO had NTIndividual base station Antenna, single-antenna subscriber and NFFTIndividual subcarrier.Wherein base station uses S (S<<NT) individual Radio frequency link, and precoding is carried out using mixing precoding technique.Mixing precoding can adopt The phase shifter network of arbitrary structures.Proposed downlink physical channel estimation technique includes two Individual stage, respectively time delay estimation stages and channel estimation phase.Next introduced this respectively Two stages.
Introduce time delay estimation stages first, in this stage, all of radio frequency in radio frequency link The radio frequency link of link or a part is used for transmitting pilot tone so that user's estimation time delay.It is derived from The pilot tone of different radio frequency links is transmitted among different OFDM symbol.At each Among OFDM symbol, only transmission is derived from the pilot tone of a radio frequency link.For each rf chain For road, pilot tone is equally spaced inserted on whole bandwidth by discontinuous.From a radio frequency The pilot tone of link carries out precoding by the simulation pre-coding matrix corresponding to this radio frequency link first, Then it is mapped on all of antenna being connected with this radio frequency link and transmitted.No Same radio frequency link uses different simulation pre-coding matrixes.A pilot transmission in this stage Example as shown in figure 1, wherein, x represents pilot signal and cs(s=1~S) represents and is used for The N of s-th radio frequency linkT* the pre-coding matrix of 1 simulation.Through precoding from one The pilot tone of individual radio frequency link connects to the antenna simultaneous transmission of this radio frequency link from all.
After such precoding processing of base station side, user will connect from radio frequency link Receive the pilot tone of time domain, its measurement power on each time delay, then equalization is from institute There is the power of the pilot signal of radio frequency link and find out to have and exceed the threshold value limiting in advance The time delay of power is as estimated time delay.In this stage, user simultaneously requires no knowledge about in base station The pre-coding matrix of the simulation that side is used.
Channel estimation phase described below.It is assumed that this channel is in TcohIndividual OFDM symbol and WcohIt is substantially flat on individual subcarrier.Therefrom select W and T corresponding resource, from And make W≤min (Wcoh, S) and NT/W≤T≤Tcoh.W in S radio frequency link Individual it is used for transmitting pilot tone among the continuous OFDM symbol of T.T OFDM symbol On running time-frequency resource to be shared in an orthogonal manner by W radio frequency link.From a radio frequency The pilot tone of link is come in addition pre- first by the simulation pre-coding matrix corresponding with this radio frequency link Encode, be mapped to all antennas being connected with this radio frequency link and and then transmitted.No Same radio frequency link is among different OFDM symbol using different simulation pre-coding matrixes. Show the pilot transmission schemes in this channel estimation phase among Fig. 2, wherein, x represents Pilot signal and cs,t(s=1~S) represents that s-th radio frequency link accords with t-th OFDM Simulation pre-coding matrix used in number.Among this figure, different radio frequency links is not Pilot tone is transmitted on same subcarrier.
As described above, connecting identical time-frequency will be used to the antenna of identical radio frequency link Resource is used for transmitting pilot tone, and this will bring the interference between antenna in receiving terminal.Therefore, at this The pre-coding matrix of the simulation that channel estimation phase is used must be careful to be designed thus Be conducive to the elimination of inter-antenna interference.Given this purpose, the present invention is by T OFDM symbol On running time-frequency resource be divided into NFFT/ W time/frequency source block, each time/frequency source block includes W Continuous subcarrier and T continuous OFDM symbol.Due to W≤WcohAnd T≤Tcoh, So the channel in each time/frequency source block be considered flat.This simulation precoding Matrix is designed such that to be connected to the different antenna of a radio frequency link in each running time-frequency resource Mutually orthogonal between the simulation precoding vector of experience on block.For example, it is assumed that all of antenna quilt It is divided into L layer, identical in the layer antenna connects to identical radio frequency link, and in different layers Antenna be connected to different radio frequency links.It is assumed that S (l) represent connect to l-th layer it In the indexed set of the radio frequency link of antenna and suppose W=S.So used in Fig. 2 The pre-coding matrix of simulation must be designed to so that by { cs,t|sS (l), t=1~T } for arranging institute The matrix of composition has mutually orthogonal row.
After user receives the pilot tone from all radio frequency links in T OFDM symbol, User will implement MMSE channel estimation.Estimate will be by for produced time delay in the first stage For estimating the frequency domain correlation matrix of this channel, the frequency domain correlation matrix estimating will be used for increasing Strong MMSE channel estimation.By means of simulation pre-coding matrix orthogonal design can be successful Ground eliminates the interference between antenna among MMSE channel estimation.
In this channel estimation phase, need to know the simulation precoding square being used for transmitting pilot tone Battle array.Such information does not need among scheme before, because different base stations can make With different simulation pre-coding matrixes.The structure of simulation pre-coding matrix is mixed depending on used Close the structure of phase-shift network in precoding.Therefore, base station must notify by downlink signaling to use The simulation pre-coding matrix that family oneself is used.Involved signaling consumption is very little, because For need only to the precoding phase-shift network being used by base station indicating this mixing structure just Can, and it does not change with frequency in time.

In time delay estimation stages, using pilot transmission techniques mentioned above, S radio frequency M radio frequency link in link is used for transmitting among M different OFDM symbol and leads Frequently.Without loss of generality it is assumed that front M radio frequency link be used for transmit pilot tone it is assumed that Represent the indexed set of the subcarrier of pilot transmission for each radio frequency link and makeHere it is assumed that all of radio frequency link uses identical J.User receive from The pilot tone of s radio frequency link (among s-th OFDM symbol) is expressed as on frequency domain:
Wherein, ysRepresent the pilot signal from s-th radio frequency link receiving, it is One size is the column vector of J*1, and H represents NT*NFFTThe frequency domain channel matrix of dimension, Represent that inclusion has index and isRow H submatrix, x represents pilot signal and cs(s= 1~S) represent N for s-th radio frequency linkT* the simulation pre-coding matrix of 1 dimension.Then, User is for ysCarry out discrete Fourier transform (DFT) thus it is converted into time domain from frequency domain For:
Wherein,For ysTime-domain representation, F be NFFTFourier's matrix of-rank,For this The N of channelT×NFFTDimension time-domain pulse response matrix andIt is known that having collection The wireless channel of Chinese style antenna generally has sparse and identical on all of antenna Time delay, soOnly there is considerably less non-zero column and so that hsIt is also sparse vector. hsThe time delay of the positional representation channel of middle nonzero element, can be estimated with following formula:
Wherein,For the estimation of time delay,ForD-th element and Thred For the threshold value limiting in advance.It is to be noted here that estimated time delay is necessarily less than pilot lengthThis is by when using the discontinuous pilot tone inserted at equal intervalsAmong element Caused by repeatability.Therefore, pilot length have to be selected such that J>Dmax, wherein, Dmax extends for maximum delay.
Next introduce channel estimation, wherein,Represent that s-th radio frequency link is used To transmit the OFDM symbol of pilot tone and the index set of subcarrier pair, that is, only when When, s-th radio frequency link is transmitted on w-th subcarrier of t-th OFDM symbol leads Frequently.So received on w-th subcarrier of t-th OFDM symbol pilot tone represents For:
Wherein, hwIs is the w row of H, Ct=[c1,t…cs,t…cS,t], bt,wFor S × 1 dimension Vector, its s-th element bt,wS () indicates s-th radio frequency link in t-th OFDM symbol W-th subcarrier on the pilot tone whether transmitted, that is,:
Consider all T OFDM symbol, formula (4) can be rewritten as (it is assumed that in T (T≤Tcoh) Channel on individual OFDM symbol is flat)
Wherein,
Aw=[C1b1,w… CTbT,w] (7)

Wherein, D=diag (d), d are using obtained from time delay estimated result during the power of channel Prolong attribute (PDP).Then, obtained using MMSEFor:
Then willValuationIt is transformed to matrix form from vector form and obtain channel matrix H Valuation.
Next introduce the design of the simulation pre-coding matrix for channel estimation:
Design simulation pre-coding matrix { C will be discussed how in this partt, t=1~T } so as with Family side judicial convenience inter-antenna interference eliminates.For simplicity it is assumed that NFFT/ W is integer.T N in OFDM symbolFFTIndividual subcarrier is divided into NFFT/ W Resource Block, each Resource Block bag Containing W subcarrier and T OFDM symbol.Channel on the Resource Block that each W takes advantage of T Can be considered as flat.
Assume that analog phase shifter network is divided into L layer, each layer comprises (S/L) × (NT/L) The sub-network of dimension.Antenna among identical layer is connected to identical radio frequency link, different layers Antenna connect to different radio frequency links.Wherein, simulate pre-coding matrix CtMust comply with following Block diagonal structure:
Wherein, Ct,l(l=1~L) is (N corresponding to l layerT/ L) × (S/L) simulation precoding of tieing up Matrix.Process b in an identical mannert,wThus obtaining:
Wherein, bt,w,lBe by l layer on w-th subcarrier of t-th OFDM symbol The sequence of mapping being used, it is the vector of S/L × 1 dimension.This sequence of mapping { bt,w,lIt is to abide by Follow following rule design:

And
Based on formula (15) and (16), among t-th OFDM symbol of formula (4) On w subcarrier, received pilot tone can be represented with below equation, that is,:
Wherein, hW, lFor hw(the N corresponding to the antenna in l layerT/ L) × 1 subvector, that is,:
Because the antenna among different layers is connected to different radio frequency links and different Radio frequency link transmits pilot tone on different running time-frequency resources, so between the antenna of different layers not There is interference.So, formula (20) can be reduced to for specific layer:
yt,l(w)=(Ct,lbt,w,l)Thw,lx+nt,w,
Among formula (22)Represent and be used for transmitting by the radio frequency link of l layer The index set of the OFDM symbol of pilot tone and subcarrier pair, wherein,Be l-th layer it In radio frequency link indexed set.In view of all of all among T OFDM symbol Subcarrier, the pilot tone being received from l layer can be expressed as:
Wherein,
Aw,l=[C1,lb1,w.l… Ct,lbt,w.l… CT,lbT,w.l] (24)
For the ease of eliminating the interference between antenna in different layers,It is designed such that source Take advantage of on the Resource Block of T using mutually just for W from the pilot tone of the antenna of identical layer in each size The simulation precoding vector handed over being simulated precoding, thus can be using coupling filter in receiver section Ripple device easily to remove inter-antenna interference.Consider j-th (j=1~NFFT/ W) individual Resource Block. On j-th Resource Block, the simulation pre-coding matrix corresponding to l layer is:
Using the mapping ruler among formula (17) to (19), L layer is equably with orthogonal Mode is shared in the running time-frequency resource among each Resource Block, therefore,Only there is TW/L individual non- Zero row.(W is necessary for the multiple of L), setsForNon-zero column composition (NT/ L) × (TW/L) submatrix of tieing up.By appropriate designSo thatJust have The row handed over, that is,:
(note:Formula (26) is only in NTCai feasible under/W≤T), in order to meet formula (26) Require, so design { Ct,l}:Define the unit matrix that U ties up for (TW/L) × (TW/L).With { cs,t,l, S=1~S } represent Ct,lRow, as follows design cs,t,l, that is,:
