Description

A kind of wave beam training method and device
Technical field
The present invention relates to communication technical field, more particularly to a kind of wave beam training method and device.
Background technology
In order to realize increasing considerably for channel capacity, LTE/LTE-Advanced is from frequency domain, time domain and three, spatial domain Dimension proposes many technical tactics to optimize 3GPP wireless access.In the lasting evolution of LTE/LTE-Advanced standards, 3GPP wireless access is able to the rapid growth of support wireless data service.In many technology points, it is a kind of effective to increase bandwidth And the method for directly lifting link capacity.Particularly, wave beam polymerization technique causes that LTE-Advanced at most can use up to The bandwidth of 100MHz is meeting this capacity requirement.
But, with the exponential increase of capacity requirement, industrial quarters and academia use wider in following 5G mobile communication Bandwidth (more than 100MHz) reaches common recognition extensively.But, the frequency band very congestion of low-frequency range and extremely nervous, people are by sight High frequency band communication (such as millimetre-wave attenuator) more than 6GHz is put into.High frequency band while big bandwidth is brought, communication Link load also quickly increases.For example, the free space loss of 60GHz communications is higher by 28dB than 2.4GHz losses.In this feelings Under condition, high frequency band communication needs to use aerial array and wave beam training technique and increases to realize wave beam alignment and obtain enough links Benefit.
In high frequency band 5G mobile communication or millimetre-wave attenuator scene, single-input single-output (SISO)+beam shaping (Beamforming) pattern is a kind of important system framework, has the advantages that complexity is low, is easy to implement.In existing 60- In GHz millimeter-wave systems (such as IEEE 802.11ad, 802.15.3c), the SISO-Beamforming patterns extensively should With.Specifically, as shown in figure 1, in SISO-Beamforming transmitting-receiving units, the aerial array of receiver and transmitter is distinguished There is nrAnd ntIndividual antenna element, these antenna unit possesses identical transmission power, and radio frequency (RF) signal can be moved Phase.The antenna element of transceiver is connected to single simulation RF links.In transmitting terminal, individual traffic is from multiple weight antenna elements Send;In receiving terminal, the signal weighting from multiple antenna elements simultaneously merges into mono signal stream, as shown in Figure 1.In given AWV In the case of (Antenna Weighting Vector, antenna weight vector) code book, the target of wave beam training is exactly from all Optimal beam combination is told in controllable beam combination, directional communication link is formed.
In high frequency band 5G mobile communication or millimetre-wave attenuator, base station will attempt training during each wave beam is trained Multiple users (UE).For example, as shown in Fig. 2 base station needs to be respectively trained UE-a, UE-b and UE-c, and it is corresponding to find each UE Optimal beam is combined for building transmission link.Wherein, path P atha、PathbAnd PathcUE-a, UE-b and UE- are represented respectively The corresponding most strong physical pathways of c.The purpose for carrying out wave beam training between base station and UE-a, UE-b and UE-c respectively is to be separately discernable Go out Patha、PathbAnd PathcCorresponding beam combination.PathaCorresponding beam combination constitutes the data between base station and UE-a Transmission link, PathbCorresponding beam combination constitutes the data transmission link between base station and UE-b, PathcCorresponding wave beam group Close the data transmission link constituted between base station and UE-c.Wave beam training process between each UE is orthogonal.
In correlation technique, wave beam training is carried out between base station and multiple terminals, first, all of transmitted wave of base station scans Beam, the Base Transmitter wave beam sequence number that each UE is received using omnidirectional antenna and selection obtains preferred channels quality respectively;Then, respectively The sequence number of respective selected launching beam is fed back to base station by individual UE;The launching beam sequence number that base station is fed back according to UE is successively to each UE launches corresponding wave beam, and each UE timesharing is sent to the directional beam of oneself to base station and carries out reception scanning, it is then determined that from Oneself optimal reception wave beam.
Because base station needs to carry out wave beam training respectively with multiple UE according to the feedback timesharing of each UE, therefore, with UE numbers Purpose increases, and wave beam training pilot tone cost can be raised drastically, and then reduce the availability of frequency spectrum, have impact on system throughput.

Specific embodiment
To make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention become more apparent, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing to the present invention Embodiment be described in detail.It should be noted that in the case where not conflicting, in the embodiment and embodiment in the application Feature can mutually be combined.
In the technical solution adopted by the present invention, data transfer beam antenna weight vector (AWV) collection of data transfer phase Closing can be with difference with the detection wave beam AWV set of waveform training stage.If the transmission beam AWV of data transfer phase is instructed with wave beam The detection wave beam AWV for practicing the stage is identical, and this patent is suggested plans and can still support.Correspondingly, transmission wave is represented with symbol " w " Beam AWV, detection wave beam AWV is represented with symbol " u ".Specifically, transmission beam AWV is specified by default directional beam code book. Transmission beam code book is a matrix of n × K, i.e.,N represents antenna element number, and K represents that transmission beam code book is specified Directional beam number, and n≤K.Correspondingly, it is a n to receive transmission beam code bookr×KrMatrix, i.e., Wherein nrRepresent receiving terminal antenna element number, KrRepresent and receive the directional beam number that codebook matrix is specified.Send transmission beam code book It is a nt×KtMatrix, i.e.,Wherein ntRepresent transmitting terminal antenna element number, KtRepresent that sending codebook matrix refers to Fixed directional beam number.Matrix WrAnd matrix WtEach row all represent one generation directional beam default AWV.Wherein, wR, k Represent and receive codebook matrix WrKth row, wT, lRepresent and send codebook matrix WtL row.
In the case where receiving terminal SNR criterions are maximized, wave beam training is to find optimal beam group from Preset Transfer wave beam code book Close (kopt, lopt), to maximize the receiving terminal SNR of data transfer phase, wherein koptRepresent the reception code under best beam combination This matrix WrRow sequence number, loptRepresent the transmission codebook matrix W under best beam combinationtRow sequence number.
As shown in figure 3, overall training flow includes four-stage, it is respectively:Initial phase, training stage, detection rank Section and response phase.Train T UE in wherein 1 base station.In the wave beam training stage, pilot broadcasts are given all UE, each UE by base station Can respectively realize that beam combination is detected.The transmitting terminal optimal beam sequence number that each UE will be detected feeds back to base station.This meaning , multi-user beam training is parallel, and training expense is independently of the number of loads in network.
Wave beam training method of the invention, specifically includes the following four stage:
1) initial phase
In the initial phase, base station is opened and the wave beam between multiple UE (User Equipment, user terminal) Training.
2) training stage
In the training stage, base station will train pilot broadcasts to all UE.Each UE receives the training pilot tone.
Specifically, for each x sequence of the pilot tone, detection wave beam AWV differences are sent, receives detection wave beam AWV It is different.Can be specified by advance agreement so that the transmission detection wave beam AWV of each UE known base station.
The detection wave beam for being carried, it is desirable to which antenna gain envelope has a feature of non-significant directionality, and two-by-two wave beam it Between there is no significant correlation, i.e. independence.Detection wave beam is realized by the configuration of aerial array AWV, for example each Detect the AWV (u of wave beamR, iAnd uT, i) in all elements be all by ± 1 Bernoulli Jacob's probability distribution function generate, and mutually solely It is vertical.
Such as, a kind of method for generating detection wave beam AWV is as follows:
Send the AWV (u of detection wave beamT, i) and receive the AWV (u for detecting wave beamR, i) in all elements be all by ± 1 primary Sharp probability distribution function generation is exerted, and it is independent mutually.In order to make it easy to understand, in 16 unit ULA (uniform circular Arrays, Homogeneous Circular aerial array) under, preset codebook design schemes under detection beam antenna radiation diagram as shown in figure 4, its In (a) figure be to send detection wave beam AWV, uT, i=[1;-1;1;1;-1;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;-1;-1;-1;- 1], (b) figure is Receive detection wave beam AWV, uR, i=[- 1;-1;-1;-1;-1;1;1;-1;-1;1;-1;1;-1;1;1;1].Above-mentioned detection wave beam Without clear and definite directionality.
As shown in Figure 5.Wave beam trains pilot tone to be repeated to constitute by multiple x sequences.X sequences are classical channel estimation sequence Row, such as PN sequences or Golay sequences etc..Transmitting-receiving wave beam (AWV) corresponding to each x channel estimation sequence is differed, and Transmitting terminal sends the AWV that pilot tone is used, and receiving terminal needs known.Therefore, transmitting terminal AWV can in advance be transferred to receiving terminal, or The formulation (such as, agreement predetermined channel estimating pilot frequency, receiving terminal known to) of AWV generating modes is directly carried out by agreement.It is total to receive Hair x sequence numbers are m, which determine whole training expense.According to compressive sensing theory, detection wave beam number of combinations m=α log (KrKt).Wherein, empirical parameter α is referred to as detecting wave beam number of combinations coefficient, decides the effect of beam combination detection.Specifically, With the increase of detection wave beam number of combinations factor alpha, we can obtain preferably detection performance, but can also produce bigger training Expense.
In addition, system can according to actual needs set transmission beam AWV code books.For example, IEEE802.15.3c standard gauges Fixed transmission beam AWV code books.The code book only requires that analog phase shifter can provide 0 °, 90 °, 180 ° and 270 ° four kinds of controllable phases Position.Specifically, the numerical value of (i, the m) element in transmission stage codebook matrix W is expressed as:
Wherein, i=0 ..., n-1 represent antenna serial number, and m=0 ..., K-1 represents code book sequence number, and K represents orientation code book Number (i.e. controllable numbers of beams).
3) detection-phase
In the detection-phase, the channel response under the different detection wave beam AWV of each UE independent estimations, so that it is separately detect Corresponding optimal beam combination.If UE receives the wave beam training pilot tone of broadcast, it would be desirable that examined by critical path beam combination Method of determining and calculating obtains critical path beam combination sequence number setWithWherein,Represent and send wave beam sequence number,Base can be supplied to Stand,Represent and receive wave beam sequence number,UE can be supplied to.
Specifically, for any UE, critical path beam combination detection algorithm differentiates critical path, Ran Houcong from time domain Corresponding optimal beam combination is detected in default transmission beam AWV code books.By the ripple that data transfer wave beam code book is generated Beam has very strong directionality, so the process of detection beam combination is equivalent to volume-search coverage.Specifically, the algorithm is by channel Estimate, critical path selection and optimal beam combine detection are constituted, structured flowchart is as shown in Figure 6.
(1) channel estimation
