Description

Reference signal transmission method and device, and base station
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a downlink reference signal transmission technology in a narrowband system, and in particular, to a reference signal transmission method and apparatus, and a base station.
Background
In the existing long Term Evolution (L TE, &lttttranslation = 'L' &tttl &ltt/t &gttong Term Evolution) system, the mapping manner of the downlink common reference signal is as shown in fig. 1, the resource block time frequency filled with oblique lines in fig. 1 is the carrying position of the downlink common reference signal, the downlink common reference signal is mapped at least on at least four Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbols in one subframe, and the downlink common reference signal is also discontinuous in the frequency domain, whereas in the existing communication of the internet of Things, the downlink common reference signal carrying manner shown in fig. 1 is adopted, and since the technology of the Narrow-Band internet of Things (NB-IOT) is mainly for the application with large coverage, low cost and low power consumption, the power consumption requirement of the internet of Things is high, the battery terminal is generally required to be able to receive the common reference signal for more than 10 years, and therefore the terminal does not want to receive the common reference signal in a short time.
For a narrow-band system requiring large coverage, the narrow-band system is generally deployed in a lower frequency band, and the moving speed is lower, so that the coherence time is longer, namely, the channel is basically unchanged for a longer time, and the time domain interpolation by using a multi-symbol reference signal does not improve the channel estimation precision; in addition, the NB-IOT includes three deployment scenarios: stand-alone, in-band, guard-band, and operators in different areas have different spectrum resources, so that the deployment scenario of NB-IOT cannot be summarized. However, at present, there is no reference signal mapping method suitable for three deployment scenarios, which is not favorable for forming a single solution (single solution), and thus the industrial scale development of the internet of things is hindered.
The downlink common reference signal mapping mode of the existing L TE system is not an optimal choice for the narrowband system, and it requires that the terminal always receives the reference signal, and cannot meet the requirement of the narrowband terminal on ultra-low energy consumption.

Detailed Description
So that the manner in which the features and aspects of the embodiments of the present invention can be understood in detail, a more particular description of the embodiments of the invention, briefly summarized above, may be had by reference to the embodiments, some of which are illustrated in the appended drawings.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of a reference signal transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, the reference signal transmission method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 201, carrying the common reference signal on one OFDM symbol in the subframe.
In the embodiment of the invention, the common reference signal is a downlink common reference signal, and the downlink reference signal is received by the receiving terminal of the internet of things for channel estimation.
In the embodiment of the invention, only one OFDM symbol is arranged in one subframe to carry the common reference signal.
In the embodiment of the invention, the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal is positioned in the middle of the subframe. Therefore, after the receiving terminal of the Internet of things receives the downlink common reference signal, the estimated channel is more accurate.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal is at least one of the following symbols:
the 7 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal does not carry other signals, the common reference signal fills the whole OFDM symbol.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the common reference signal carried in the OFDM symbol collides with other signals, the other signals are carried on the corresponding time frequency resources collided on the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the other signals include, but are not limited to, Control signals or Reference signals such as a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Reference Signal (RS), a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Channel state Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the like.
In the embodiment of the invention, for different cells, one OFDM symbol is randomly selected from the 7 th OFDM symbol of a subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe and the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe to carry a common reference signal.
The problem of adjacent cell interference is solved, and for each cell, one OFDM symbol can be randomly selected from the 7 th OFDM symbol of a subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe and the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe to bear the common reference signal.
Or,
and for different cells, selecting an OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal for each cell in the 7 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe and the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe according to the cell identification.
For example, the cell ID may be modulo 3, and a corresponding OFDM symbol carrying the downlink common reference signal is selected for the cell according to the modulo result, for example, if modulo 0 is used, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 7 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, if modulo 1 is used, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, and if modulo 2 is used, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe. The method may also be another bearer, if the modulo is 0, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, if the modulo is 1, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, and if the modulo is 2, the downlink common reference signal is carried on the 7 th OFDM symbol of the subframe.
In the embodiment of the invention, for different cells, the time-frequency resource sequence for bearing the common reference signal is set on the OFDM symbol for bearing the common reference signal according to the cell identifier.
That is, for each reference signal on one OFDM symbol, the reference signals may be arranged in the frequency domain according to the identifier of each reference signal, for example, one Resource Element (RE) includes 12 subcarriers, each subcarrier carries a reference signal with a different identifier, and the different reference signals may be sorted according to the modulo result of the cell identifier and the setting number, so as to form a shift of the reference signal in the frequency domain. The setting number may be 3, 4, 5, etc. numbers.
Step 202, transmitting the downlink common reference signal by using the OFDM symbol.
After the downlink common reference signal is carried on the corresponding OFDM symbol on the subframe, the subframe is sent to the receiving terminal, and the receiving terminal receives the reference signal on the corresponding OFDM symbol and carries out channel estimation, thereby correctly demodulating the related data carried in the subframe.
The essence of the technical solution of the embodiments of the present invention is further clarified by specific examples below.
The embodiment of the invention provides a novel mapping scheme of a downlink common control channel suitable for three deployment modes (stand-alone, in-band and guard-band), so that a terminal side can receive downlink reference signals in as short a time as possible, and the energy consumption is reduced. The design idea is as follows:
in order to save electricity and avoid frequently sending the common reference signal in a short period, the time-frequency domain interval mapping mode shown in fig. 1 is not adopted, but the mode of mapping on one symbol is adopted;
considering that the IOT coherence time is long, the gain of the time domain interpolation channel estimation performance in one subframe (1ms) is limited, and only one symbol is reserved in each subframe to be used for sending a downlink common reference signal;
considering the optimal channel estimation performance within 1ms, the RS symbol is placed in the middle of a subframe and occupies the whole Resource Block (RB), so that the optimal channel estimation performance can be obtained;
considering that the control/reference signals such as PDCCH/RS/PBCH/PSS/SSS/CSI-RS and the like need to be avoided when coexisting with legacy L TE, when a downlink common reference signal of a narrowband system collides with the control/reference signals, the downlink common reference signal of the narrowband system needs to be knocked out, so that the downlink common reference signal needs higher frequency domain density to ensure that the robust performance is still maintained when part of REs are knocked out;
according to the above design principle, specific examples are as follows:
example one
The downlink common reference signal of the narrowband system adopts the mapping mode shown in fig. 3 a-3 c, and only one OFDM symbol is set in one subframe to carry the common reference signal; the OFDM symbols carrying the common reference signal are located as far as possible in the middle of the subframe. In this embodiment, the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal is at least one of the following symbols:
the 7 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, and the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe are respectively shown in fig. 3a to fig. 3c, and in fig. 3, the time-frequency resource filled in the gray region is the downlink common reference signal.
In order to solve the problem of interference of adjacent cells, in the embodiment of the present invention, for different cells, one OFDM symbol is randomly selected from the 7 th OFDM symbol of a subframe, the 6 th OFDM symbol of the subframe, and the 4 th OFDM symbol of the subframe to carry a common reference signal.
In order to solve the problem of neighboring cell interference, a cell ID mod3 may also be adopted, and time shift is introduced, as shown in fig. 3:
when cell-IDmod3 is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3a is employed.
When cell-IDmod3 is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3b is employed.
When cell-IDmod3 is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3c is employed.
Other carrying manners are also possible, if the modulus is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3b is adopted, if the modulus is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3c is adopted, and if the modulus is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3a is adopted. Or, if the modulus is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3c is adopted, if the modulus is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3a is adopted, and if the modulus is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 3b is adopted.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the common reference signal carried in the OFDM symbol collides with other signals, the other signals are carried on the corresponding time frequency resources collided on the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the other signals include, but are not limited to, Control signals or Reference signals such as a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Reference Signal (RS), a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Channel state Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the like.
Example two
The mapping manner of fig. 4 a-4 c is still adopted for the downlink common reference signal of the narrowband system.
In order to solve the problem of adjacent cell interference, common reference signal sequence shift is introduced, that is, the identification sequences of the carried common reference signals are different for different cells.
In the embodiment of the invention, for different cells, the time-frequency resource sequence for bearing the common reference signal is set on the OFDM symbol for bearing the common reference signal according to the cell identifier.
That is, for each reference signal on one OFDM symbol, the reference signals may be arranged in the frequency domain according to the identifier of each reference signal, for example, one Resource Element (RE) includes 12 subcarriers, each subcarrier carries a reference signal with a different identifier, and the different reference signals may be sorted according to the modulo result of the cell identifier and the setting number, so as to form a shift of the reference signal in the frequency domain. The setting number may be 3, 4, 5, etc. numbers.
For example, the sequence shift carrying the common reference signal is determined as the result of modulo 3 with the cell identity:
when cell-IDmod3 is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4a is employed.
When cell-IDmod3 is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4b is employed.
When cell-IDmod3 is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4c is employed.
Other carrying manners are also possible, if the modulus is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4b is adopted, if the modulus is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4c is adopted, and if the modulus is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4a is adopted. Or, if the modulus is 0, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4c is adopted, if the modulus is 1, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4a is adopted, and if the modulus is 2, the common reference signal carrying mode shown in fig. 4b is adopted. In fig. 4, the time-frequency resource filled in the gray area is the downlink common reference signal.
The number of the common reference signal sequence shifts may also be more than 3, for example, 4 or 5, and at this time, the modulo operation number of the cell identifier also needs to be updated to 4 or 5, and so on, so that the sequence shifted reference signal corresponding to each cell identifier can be determined.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the common reference signal carried in the OFDM symbol collides with other signals, the other signals are carried on the corresponding time frequency resources collided on the OFDM symbol carrying the common reference signal.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the other signals include, but are not limited to, Control signals or Reference signals such as a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), a Reference Signal (RS), a Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a Channel state Information Reference Signal (CSI-RS), and the like.
