Channel estimation
As previously discussed, SRS is commonly used in channel estimation.Channel estimation is critically important, because it realizes frequency selection Property scheduling of resource.SRS also supports to find recently the not various start-up operations of scheduled UE.It is operated when in unauthorized RF spectrum When, the transmission of SRS is it is necessary that use LBT.As with reference to shown in figure 2, Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 C and the various embodiments, provide as What is that LTE-U systems realize SRS the and/or LBT signalings of enhancing to execute the example of improved channel estimation.
Fig. 2 shows the exemplary cell frameworks 200 for being suitble to be used together with RAN 101.In one embodiment, cell Framework 200 can use point-to-multipoint (PMP) cellular architecture.It will be understood, however, that other types of framework, example can also be used Such as mesh broadband wireless topology.Embodiment context without being limited thereto.
As shown in Fig. 2, cell framework 200 shows two kinds of wireless area.First kind wireless area includes one group Larger wireless area 204-a (sometimes referred to as " macrocell ").Macrocell provides cellular base station or tower service by higher-wattage Radio covering, such as the eNB in LTE, LTE-A or LTE-U system.Second class wireless area includes one group smaller wireless Cell 206-b (sometimes referred to as " Microcell ").Microcell is provided to be covered by the radio of lower-wattage WLAN access point services, example Such as 802.11 wireless access point.In general, macrocell provides the coverage area more than Microcell.
In this description, for the sake of simplicity, show that single RAN 101 is indicated, wherein wireless area 204-a is listed as C1To CN, and wireless area 206-b is listed as cell Sx1To Sx7, wherein macrocell and Microcell is each by using one Or multiple infrastructure stations 102,103 are realized.As non-limiting example, macrocell C1To CNIn each can pass through It is realized using frequency spectrum operation infrastructure stations (such as infrastructure stations 102 (for example, LTE eNB)) are authorized, and it is each small Area Sx1To Sx7In each can be (such as basic by using unauthorized (for example, 5GHz) frequency spectrum operation infrastructure stations Facility station 103 (for example, WLAN AP)) it realizes.
In fig. 2, UE 90 is initially shown in the centre position in cell framework 200, in cell C3、C5And C6Between certain Place.Diagram also shows two example route planning (R that UE 90 may be followedA, RB).Assuming that UE 90 is along illustrative schemes RB It advances.Advance when, UE 90 can with for example in various macrocell C5、C8And C11In the various infrastructure stations 102 that find hand over Mutually.UE 90 can also with for example in Microcell SX3、SX4In the various infrastructure stations 103 that find interact.When UE 90 is given When macrocell and/or Microcell are nearby advanced, when infrastructure stations 102 (for example, eNB) are by the UL for being dynamically dispatched to UE 90 Between window.UE 90 can be transmitted using the UL windows of scheduling to execute UL.
In order to dynamically dispatch the UL windows for UE 90, infrastructure stations 102 (for example, eNB) will be in each DL subframe Control information be sent to UE 90.For example, layer 1 or 2 signaling of layer can be used for sending control information.How control information instruction UE 90 When should be in subsequent subframe to 102 transmission data of infrastructure stations.Control information also indicates which resource block (RB) will be used for UL Transmission.
Other than sending the control information for the UL windows of UE 90, infrastructure stations 102 can also will be with UL resources The associated other types of control information of grid is transmitted to UE 90.UL resource grids include for example for physical uplink link The data and uplink control information of shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, and include that the UL transmitted for PUCCH controls information And various reference signals.Reference signal may include such as demodulated reference signal (DM-RS) and SRS.DM-RS is commonly used in The coherent demodulation of PUSCH and PUCCH data.SRS is commonly used in estimating uplink channel quality for frequency selectivity tune Degree.Infrastructure stations 102 can communicate to transmit control information using configuration broadcast.Configuration broadcast communication example may include (as an example, not a limit):Main information broadcasts (MIB), system information broadcasts (SIB) or radio resource configuration (RRC) signaling Information element (IE) and other types of signaling.
Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 C show example UL subframe structure 302,304 and 306.Each UL subframe structure 302,304 and 306 may include multiple symbols.Symbol is the transmission structure (for example, waveform) for indicating integer position.
Fig. 3 A show the example UL subframe structure 302 operated commonly used in LTE-U.As shown in Figure 3A, UL subframe structure 302 include 14 symbols (symbol 0-13).As shown in Figure 3A, information associated with SRS may include in the position of symbol 13, Information associated with physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) signal may include and the and DM- in the position of symbol 8 The associated information of RS signals may include in the position of symbol 3,10.
UL subframe structure 302 may lead to the problem of LTE-U systems.In order to which UL subframe structure 302 is used for communication channel 94 (for example, unauthorized RF spectrums), need LBT to operate before the transmission of UL subframe 302 in subframe.As previously mentioned, needing LBT operations with the existing system fair co-existence that is operated in unlicensed spectrum.LBT is that UE 90 must sensed media be simultaneously first And the process only just sent in medium clear.However, UE 90 is given the limited amount time (for example, detection time) to hold Row LBT operations.Since SRS is included in the last symbol position (symbol 13) of UL subframe structure 302, without additional Operation in the case of UE 90 possibly can not execute LBT within the limited amount time and operate.For example, it may be desirable to by SRS transmission It is limited to the UE only for the scheduling for sending PUSCH in those symbols in front, or may be needed before SRS transmission attached The symbol punching (puncturing) added is to adapt to send the UE of PUSCH in those symbols not in front.
Fig. 3 B show the example UL subframe structure 304 for LTE-U systems.UL subframe structure 304 is to solve and UL The mode of 302 associated problem of frame structure is arranged.Symbol 0 is punched more specifically, UL subframe structure 304 is LBT, and will SRS from the position of the symbol 13 in UL subframe structure 302 be moved to the punching symbol 0 for LBT in UL subframe structure 304 it The position of symbol 1 afterwards.Similar to UL subframe structure 302, UL subframe structure 304 may include the PUSCH at the position of symbol 8 DM-RS signals at signal and symbol 3,10 positions.
In UL subframe structure 304, the period associated with symbol 0, which is not used in, provides feasible symbol.On the contrary, and symbol 0 associated period was used to execute the LBT operations of unlicensed spectrum.When not needing LBT operations, all 14 symbol (0- 13) it is used as feasible symbol.However when needing LBT to operate, only 13 symbols (1-13) can be used as feasible symbol.Rear In the case of one kind, UE 90 can be punched (puncture) to the symbol 0 of UL subframe structure 304 or is left white (blank).For Punching is executed, UE 90 can encode symbol 0 with specific or predetermined symbol.It is left white to execute, UE 90 can be kept away Exempt from symbol 0 being sent to service infrastructure station.In this case, symbol 0 can be considered as loss symbol by service infrastructure Number.When execution is left white operation, UE 90 in UL subframe structure 304 it is contemplated that be lost symbol, and can be less than to having The subframe of normal 14 symbols (for example, 0-13) executes rate-matched.This can be before the transmission of UL subframe structure 304 or the phase Between execute.Since UL will in advance be dispatched by service infrastructure station, the subframe received is identified as UL subframe structure by it 304。
When UE 90 executes LBT sensing operations and at the UL time windows of scheduling to sense unlicensed spectrum not idle When, then UL subframe structure 304 will be sent not at the UL windows of scheduling.On the contrary, UE 90 will have to wait for service infrastructure Station reschedules another UL windows to execute LBT operations to sense idle unlicensed spectrum.
Period associated with symbol 0 solves the collision problem in unlicensed spectrum for LBT operations.Uploading UE 90 and in the case that contention wlan device starts simultaneously at the transmission subframe symbol 0 of scheduling (for example), being sent while such will stand Conflict and abort process must be carried out by UE 90 and wlan device.Two equipment are required for retrying transmission again later. For LTE-U systems and wlan system, the conflict transmission time in unlicensed spectrum is lost forever, and must be consumed additional System resource is to attempt re-transmission later.For UE 90, the entire UL windows of the scheduling UL in unlicensed spectrum are lost completely.
On the contrary, if some time of wlan device during 0 period of symbol starts to transmit, and UE 90 is in symbol 0 Between LBT operations are carried out during section, then UE 90 will be detected busy (for example, the use) of unlicensed spectrum.Then, UE 90 will prohibit Only itself is transmitted since 1 period of symbol, to avoid conflicting with wlan device.As a result, wlan device will be in the UL of scheduling Unlicensed spectrum is utilized during at least part of window.This causes the use of unlicensed spectrum to increase.This will also enhancing for Cooperation between the accesses of UE 90 and wlan device access of shared unlicensed spectrum is horizontal.For UE 90, cost will be loss It is adjusted again for the use of the shared unlicensed spectrum for the entire UL windows once dispatched, and using additional UE system resources Spend UL.
Period associated with symbol 0 also provides further advantage for LBT operations.By being left white or punching son First symbol of frame, LBT and PUSCH may be embodied in a subframe rather than in multiple subframes.Relative to subframe most For symbol into line blank or the arrangement of punching, this can reduce the scheduling complexity at service infrastructure station afterwards.For example, if to stay White or punching subframe last symbol, then be likely encountered additional complexity, this is because service infrastructure station may It needs to check a subframe in advance to determine whether the symbol needs to be left white or punched.In other words, it is perforated or is left white most The latter symbol will lead to 13 symbols, this can be matched with guaranteed rate;And for the rate carried out for theme subframe Match, UE will have to know in advance the content of subframe so that rate-matched can be before the time that theme subframe starts transmission (for example, a subframe in advance) carries out.
Fig. 3 C show example UL subframe structure 306.As UL subframe structure 302,304, UL subframe structure 306 has 14 symbols (0-13).In addition, UL subframe structure 306 may include the PUSCH signals and symbol 3,10 at 8 position of symbol DM-RS signals at position.However it is different from UL subframe structure 302,304, UL subframe structure 306 further includes pre- at symbol 2 Stay signal.
In 20MHz frame frequencies spectrum, it is understood that there may be only other UEs of the scheduling for PUSCH transmission rather than SRS transmission.This A little UE are sometimes referred to as " non-SRS UE ".After successfully completing LBT, non-SRS UE can send preserved signal.To avoid doing It disturbs, the pre- cyclic shift version (as example) of SRS sequences can be retained so that other UE are used, such as public reserved The purpose of signal.In other words, during SRS symbols, scheduling for PUSCH but be not used in SRS UE can send it is public reserved Signal is the cyclic shift version of a reservation in one example.
UL subframe structure 306 includes preserved signal.In one embodiment, preserved signal can be included in symbol 2 Set predetermined (for example, single symbol) cyclic shift of the SRS at place.However, realization method is not limited to use in the symbol 2 of preserved signal The single symbol cyclic shift of SRS at position.Alternatively, any one position follows such as in symbol 4,5,6,7,9 and 11 Ring displacement can comparably be used as (for example, being chosen as) public reserved symbol.
Broad-band channel is estimated
As previously discussed, SRS is commonly used in channel estimation.Channel estimation is critically important, because it realizes frequency selection Property scheduling of resource.SRS also supports the various start-up operations for the UE not being scheduled recently.When being operated in unauthorized RF spectrum, The transmission of SRS is it is necessary that use LBT.
As with reference to shown in figure 2, Fig. 3 A- Fig. 3 C and the various embodiments provide how for LTE-U systems realize increase Strong SRS and/or LBT signalings are to execute the example of improved channel estimation.These technologies can be used for narrow band channel estimation or wide Band channel estimation.
Estimate about broad-band channel, UE 90 can send information with interleaving mode on entire available bandwidth sometimes.Example Such as, this is likely to occur in certain Multiple Access schemes.For example, being expressed as the relatively new of block interleaving frequency division multiple access (B-IFDMA) Multiple Access scheme is the variant of LTE-U systems.In B-IFDMA systems, the transmission of UE 90 is entirely being grasped by the RB distribution to interweave Make to extend in bandwidth.Since the transmission of UE 90 is occurred over the whole width with interleaving mode, broadband channel quality estimation becomes It obtains more and more important.On the contrary, the narrow band channel estimation on the finite part of completely available bandwidth has limited use.Cause This depends on the specific UL waveforms that given wireless communication system uses, and broad-band channel estimation and broadband SRS may be this system The desired character of (for example, LTE-U systems, B-IFDMA systems and similar system), to ensure to improve UL and DL in this system Resource allocation.
However, it may be necessary to redesign SRS symbolic constructions, be used but regardless of given wireless communication system specific UL waveforms.Current SRS symbolic constructions are based on intertexture FDMA (IFDMA), and wherein SRS signal occupies each alternately son with comb like fashion Carrier wave.With the development of multiple access schemes, such as B-IFDMA systems, the SRS symbolic constructions based on IFDMA may also need Development.If using B-IFDMA as eLAA UL waveforms, this may become especially important.It is, for example, possible to use the SRS of modification Symbolic construction, wherein SRS signal occupy all subcarriers of the RB of distributed intertexture.However the one of this method potentially sets Meter challenge is that the interference volume in each intertexture may be to localize very much, so that accurately broad-band channel estimation is difficult to obtain .For example, an intertexture can largely be used by neighboring community, and another intertexture can be used slightly.In such case Under, entire broadband channel quality possibly can not effectively be indicated based on the broad-band channel to interweave a estimation.Therefore, no matter use For eLAA UL waveforms how, reuse SRS symbolic constructions all may be design alternative.
SRS is triggered
3GPP LTE series standards define at least three kinds of technologies so that SRS is initiated or triggered in LTE-U systems.This 3 kinds of skills Art includes single SRS, periodicity SRS and aperiodicity SRS.Radio resource control (RCC) configures single SRS and periodicity SRS.RCC also configures aperiodicity SRS.However, aperiodicity SRS is triggered by down link control information (DCI).It is awarded due to non- It weighs RF spectrum to share between heterogeneous system, therefore the use of unauthorized RF spectrum is highly unpredictable.In this way, eLAA systems System can benefit from realizing aperiodicity SRS, can dynamically be triggered by the way that " SRS request mark " is arranged in DCI SRS。
