The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
In millimere-wave band, radio frequency beam forming LENs antennas or phased array antenna are come in antenna sub-module (sub- Module wave beam is formed in).The quantity of RF transceiver (TRX) is much smaller than total antenna number.But in below 6GHz frequency ranges (being hereinafter also referred to as sub-6GHz), since the antenna size of low-frequency range is larger, antenna number is fewer than the antenna number of millimeter wave very much. Therefore, base band (BB) beam forming will use improved signal processing algorithm.
Base band beam forming is selected in 4G for 8 antennas and 20MHz bandwidth, but has been arrived in 5G, it will there are 64 even The bandwidth of more antennas and up to 100MHz, in the product forward pass (Fronthaul) will be unable to provide support.
It below will be in the example embodiment for particularly hereinafter, describing the disclosure, that is, use big aerial array and M-MIMO Operate the communication system to support beam forming gain.The disclosure can be applied to standard compatible communication system, such as and the third generation What partner program (3GPP), IEEE 802.11 etc., the communication system of technical standard compatibility and support M-MIMO were operated Non-standard compliant communication system.
Fig. 1 shows example communication system 100.Communication system 100 can be used for communication data.Communication system 100 can wrap Include the evolved NodeB (eNB) 110 with overlay area 101, multiple user equipmenies (UE) 120 and backhaul network 130. ENB110 can include can be by establishing uplink (dotted line) and/or downlink (solid line) connect to provide nothing with UE 120 Line access random component, such as base station, NodeB (NB), access point (AP), Home eNodeB, Microcell, relay node and its He enables wireless equipment.UE 120 can include establishing the random component of wireless connection with eNB 110, for example signing is used Family, mobile phone, mobile station (STA), terminal, user or other enable wireless equipment.Backhaul network 130 can be to allow in eNB The random component or assembly set of data exchange are carried out between 110 and distal end (not shown).In some embodiments, communication system 100 can include various other wireless devices, such as relay point, low power nodes.It should be understood that although communication system May be used for simplicity, can only show eNB and two UE here with multiple eNB of a large amount of UE communications.Such as figure Shown in 1, eNB 110 can be communicated using M-MIMO with UE 120.In the communication system for using M-MIMO, hair that eNB is used The quantity of antennas is by more than the quantity of UE that is serviced simultaneously, so as to realize that UE isolation and data are covered by beam forming gain Lid.Typically, when the quantity of the eNB transmission antennas used is more than 8, it is believed that the eNB is using MMIMO.In general, with The quantity of the transmission antenna of eNB increases, communication link (such as M-MIMO, multiuser MIMO (MU-MIMO)) and logical with UE Letter can become to be more prone to establish.Transmission antenna can realize wider array of covering with the height ratio of UE serviced simultaneously, and send out Antennas can obtain the handling capacity of bigger with the low-ratio of UE serviced simultaneously.Therefore, communication system can be by adjusting Plan receives the quantity of the activation UE of simultaneous transmission, and covering is exchanged for by cost of handling capacity (vice versa).Particularly, system is believed Breath (such as controlling information, scheduling information) is conventionally broadcasted to many UE in different spatial, it is accordingly required in particular to more A broadcast channel keeps unified amplitude emission mode, so as to keep acceptable noise in whole coverage areas of cell Than (SNR).Also, for no UE for carrying out initial random access procedure, network need not know their position;Therefore, extensively Above-mentioned initial random access procedure can be simplified by broadcasting the large coverage of channel.Generally speaking, broadcast channel is in the complete of cell Transmission is propagated in portion or substantially the whole of coverage area.On the contrary, unicast signal can be by spatial selectivity, such as by with it The relatively low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of his position is cost, higher SNR is obtained in the position of expected receiver, so as to obtain wave beam The performance advantage of shaping gain.In other words, unicast signal is to be sent to particular UE or one group to its marking signal UE send or in other circumstances, subset from signal to all possible recipient send.
The embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of compound beam forming solution, in forward pass (fronthaul) Radio frequency beam is shaped (simulation) under limitation to combine with base band beam forming (number).4G is different from using radio frequency beam forming, Because in 4G, base band beam forming is only used, moreover, also as save forward pass capacity (FH capacity) and transmitting-receiving letter The quantity of machine.According to " Hybrid Digital and Analog Beamforming written by Foad Sohrabi and Wei Yu Design for Large-Scale Antenna Arrays " and the IEEE Journal of for being published in April, 2016 Theory in No. 3 text of volume 10 of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, invention disclosed by the invention The invasive insight of people is found, if I/Q quantity or radio-frequency transmissions antenna number are used more than layer 1 (L1) (transverse direction) number of data streams Twice, system design will be able to ensure that this beam forming solutions met realize the performance similar to full base band beam forming.
According to an embodiment of the invention, as shown in the flow of the method 2 in Fig. 2, in a step 220, the transmission of base station 120 Device handles lateral 1 data flow of layer with base band (number) beam forming, to obtain longitudinal data stream, then, in step S240, Radio frequency beam forming is carried out to the longitudinal data stream of acquisition.In this way, it is provided for the selection of Baseband algorithms and the design of radio frequency beam Preferable flexible design degree.Theoretically, CPRI should send the data of twice of the number of data streams of no less than layer 1 and come in compound system Preferable performance is realized in system, therefore, in embodiment, considers that CPRI I/Q numbers are equal to 2 times of 1 number of data streams of layer.
