In specific application, it is contemplated that the compatibility of Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, downlink reference signal can be special for cell Reference signal (CSI-RS) is indicated with reference signal (CRS) or channel status.
For the multiple BRS sent on L sub-array antenna, can by be time-multiplexed (TDM), frequency division multiplexing (FDM), Code division multiplexing (CDM) or cyclic shift (CS) are multiplexed on running time-frequency resource.
In the embodiment shown in above-mentioned Fig. 1, by base station by antenna array partition at least one sub-array antenna, root The transmitting terminal relevance parameter of each sub-array antenna is estimated according to the UE received the upward signals sent, for each antenna Array, wave beam forming is carried out according to transmitting terminal relevance parameter to downlink reference signal, by BRS by being sent out on the sub-array antenna UE is given, compared with whole aerial array is carried out into wave beam forming in the prior art, the complexity of calculating can be reduced, it is adaptable to Using AAS, the scene of user's dense distribution, one kind is provided to there is the scene of high spatial coherence and takes into account performance and complexity The multi-antenna transmitting transmission scheme of degree.
Fig. 4 is the schematic flow sheet of the method for base station side progress multi-antenna transmission in another embodiment of the present invention.Such as Fig. 4 Shown, on the basis of step described in Fig. 1, Fig. 4 further comprises:
Step 104, the beam selection information of UE feedbacks is received, and user is dispatched according to the beam selection information received.
In this step, beam selection information can be the corresponding wave beam marks of the selected BRS of UE, or, selected by UE Sub-array antenna mark.Wherein, wave beam mark can be the index of wave beam, and sub-array antenna mark can be sub-array antenna Index.
Specifically, UE receives the multiple BRS sent on L sub-array antenna of base station side, therefrom select one or The multiple BRS of person, determine the corresponding beam index of selected BRS.If UE knows the sub-array antenna and ripple of base station side in advance Corresponding relation between beam, then UE can determine the corresponding sub-array antenna of above-mentioned beam index according to the corresponding relation Index, base station is sent to as beam selection information.If UE does not know the specifying information of the sub-array antenna of base station side, that The corresponding beam index of selected BRS is sent to base station as beam selection information.
Base station determines the sub-array antenna that UE is selected according to the beam selection information received.If the beam selection information is The corresponding beam index of the selected BRS of UE, base station can be mapped out by the corresponding relation between sub-array antenna and wave beam The selected sub-array antennas of UE.If the beam selection information is UE selected sub-array antennas index, then base station can be with Directly therefrom determine the selected sub-array antennas of UE.
The method of base station scheduling user includes:UE is grouped according to the UE determined the sub-array antennas selected, obtained To one group to be dispatched UE corresponding with each sub-array antenna, then determined for every group of UE to be dispatched using group UE to be dispatched Corresponding sub-array antenna transmits the scheduling user of data.Wherein, one group of UE to be dispatched includes one or more UE.
In one embodiment, it when carrying out user grouping, can be grouped fully according to the feedback of user, will feed back same The UE of one sub-array antenna index is classified as one group of UE to be dispatched, and does not make any adjustments.For example, it is assumed that having K UE, for L day Line subarray, UE 1 feeds back the index that the index of selected sub-array antenna feeds back selected sub-array antenna for 1, UE 2 For 1 and 2, UE 3 feeds back the rope that the index of selected sub-array antenna feeds back selected sub-array antenna for 1 and 3, UE 4 It is 1 to be cited as 1, UE 5 to feed back the index of selected sub-array antenna ..., and UE K feed back the index of selected sub-array antenna For L.
So, base station can obtain result as shown in table 1.Wherein, it is 1 antenna submatrix to have 5 UE to have selected index Row, this 5 UE are classified as one group.In view of concrete scene, as formed in the sub-array antenna within the coverage of wave beam There is substantial amounts of user and wait scheduled, such as multiple users have a meeting in a meeting room at present, and these users are simultaneously to base Determine that the selected sub-array antenna index of these users is all 1 in request data of standing service, base station.
Table 1 carries out UE packet examples for sub-array antenna
In another embodiment, base station can be grouped based on scheduling homeostatic principle to UE, i.e., to distributing to each day The UE numbers to be dispatched of line subarray carry out balanced so that need to be dispatched the UE numbers in UE groups and be closer to.For example, such as table Shown in 2, when the sub-array antenna index that most of UE feed back is 1, base station can be suitably between sub-array antenna to dividing It is adjusted for same group of UE to be dispatched, such as considers to be adjusted between the close sub-array antenna of wave beam, and will choosing The some UE for having selected multiple sub-array antennas are only remained in one group.With from the point of view of the Comparative result that is not made any adjustments in table 1, such as Shown in table 2, UE 4 and UE 5 are distributed in manipulative indexing as in 2 and 3 UE dispatch respectively, and are 1 to treat in manipulative indexing Dispatch and UE 3 is deleted in UE, only UE 3 is assigned in the UE to be dispatched that manipulative indexing is 3.
The index of sub-array antenna Corresponding one group of UE to be dispatched
1 UE 1、UE 2
2 UE 2、UE 4
3 UE 3、UE 5
L UE K
Table 2 carries out UE packet examples for sub-array antenna
If UE will also connect except the index to the selected sub-array antenna of base station feedback on selected sub-array antenna The BRS of receipts RSRP is sent to base station in the lump, and now base station can also be with reference on the selected sub-array antennas of each UE RSRP carries out user grouping.For example, considering that only retaining RSRP in every group of UE to be dispatched is higher than in above-mentioned scheduling homeostatic principle The UE of some threshold value, so that the UE numbers to be dispatched for distributing to each sub-array antenna are closer to.
For every group of UE to be dispatched, base station can therefrom determine that one or more scheduling are used according to default scheduling metrics Family.Wherein, scheduling metrics can be UE geometric average handling capacity, Proportional Fair measurement or improved Proportional Fair Measurement etc..
Step 105, send descending control signaling to each scheduling user and send the to base station to trigger each scheduling user The data of each scheduling user are carried out precoding by two upward signals based on the second upward signal, and by the data after precoding It is sent to each scheduling user.
In this step, the second upward signal can be uplink reference signals, such as aperiodic Sounding Reference Signal (A- SRS).Transmitted descending control command carries the indicating bit for indicating that scheduling user sends uplink reference signals, so as to trigger Dispatch user and send uplink reference signals to base station.Then, base station carries out channel estimation according to the uplink reference signals received, And according to channel reciprocity (channel reciprocity) principle, estimate the downlink channel condition letter of whole aerial array Breath.
In the application, due to by whole antenna array partition into multiple sub-array antennas, the channel between sub-array antenna Spatial coherence it is weaker, therefore, it can use linear predictive coding algorithm between sub-array antenna, it is possible to obtain preferable Performance.Meanwhile, nonlinear precoding algorithm is used inside sub-array antenna, to adapt to higher spatial coherence.I.e., respectively Two pre-coding matrixes are calculated, precoding is carried out by the way of cascade.
Specifically, according to the downlink channel condition information of all scheduling users, calculated using linear pre-coding method To Linear precoding matrix, as the first pre-coding matrix.Then, according to the downlink channel condition information and line estimated Property pre-coding matrix, the nonlinear precoding matrix obtained for each scheduling user is calculated using nonlinear precoding method, As the second pre-coding matrix.Then according to Linear precoding matrix and nonlinear precoding matrix to each scheduling user Data carry out precoding.
For example, linear predictive coding can use ZF (ZF) or block diagonalization (BD) algorithm, according to all scheduling users Downlink channel condition information, obtain Linear precoding matrix P.Then it is right for each scheduling user on sub-array antenna Linear precoding matrix P and down channel matrix areProductNonlinear precoding is carried out, THP algorithms is such as used, obtains To nonlinear precoding matrix vk.And then according to P and vkPrecoding twice is carried out to all user data, obtained after precoding Data.
In one embodiment, in the data after sending precoding, it be able to will be prelisted simultaneously on whole aerial array Data after code are sent to all scheduling users.In another embodiment, if one group scheduling of each sub-array antenna correspondence is used Family, when including multiple scheduling users per group scheduling user, can set the different transmission periods, be that each sub-array antenna refers to A fixed transmission period, then using the corresponding sub-array antenna of scheduling user after the specified transmission period sends precoding Data, i.e., send to timesharing between sub-array antenna.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4, base station receives the beam selection information of UE feedbacks, and is selected according to the wave beam received Message scheduling user is selected, scheduling user is determined for each sub-array antenna so that the scheduling of correspondence different antennae subarray Spatial coherence between user's group dies down, and only retains high space between the scheduling user of correspondence same antenna subarray Correlation, and then cascade precoding is carried out using linear predictive coding and the united mode of nonlinear precoding, improve multi-user The gain of multiplexing, increase cell is handled up.
Fig. 5 is the Signalling exchange schematic diagram of multi-antenna transmission method in one embodiment of the invention, including base station and waits to adjust Spend user UE 1 ..., UE K.As shown in figure 5, comprising the following steps.
Step 501, base station by antenna array partition at least one sub-array antenna.
Step 502, each UE sends the first upward signal to base station.
For example, UE 1 ..., UE K send upward signal P-SRS to base station respectively.
Step 503, the first upward signal that base station is sent according to the UE received estimates the transmission of each sub-array antenna Hold correlation matrix;For each sub-array antenna, characteristic vector is obtained according to transmitting terminal correlation matrix calculation, according to feature Vector carries out wave beam forming to downlink reference signal, obtains BRS.
Step 504, corresponding BRS is sent to UE by base station on each sub-array antenna.
Step 505, UE selects sub-array antenna according to the BRS received.
Step 506, UE is to base station feedback beam selection information.
Step 507, user is dispatched in base station according to the beam selection information received.
Step 508, base station sends descending control signaling to each scheduling user and sent out with triggering each scheduling user to base station Send the second upward signal.
As shown in fig. 5, it is assumed that UE 1 and UE K is scheduling user, now base station triggers UE 1 and UE K sends A- to base station SRS。
