Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transmit diversity in a multi-antenna communication system, where the multi-antenna communication system includes N antenna ports, and the method includes:
step 21, determining a pilot frequency sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port;
step 22, mapping the pilot sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port to resource units RE included in the pilot symbol of the target subframe, so that the pilot symbols of the target subframe are multiplexed by the N antenna ports;
and step 23, on the target subframe, each antenna port transmits the pilot sequence to be transmitted on the RE of the pilot symbol mapped with the pilot sequence to be transmitted of the antenna port.
In the above embodiments of the present invention, the pilot sequences to be transmitted at different antenna ports may be the same or different. Specifically, different antenna ports multiplex pilot symbols of the same target subframe. For example, one pilot symbol includes 12 resource elements REs, and in step 22 of the embodiment of the present invention, a pilot sequence to be transmitted may be mapped to REs in different frequency domains of one pilot symbol in a frequency division multiplexing manner; alternatively, in step 22 of the embodiment of the present invention, the pilot sequence to be transmitted may be mapped to all REs of one pilot symbol in a code division multiplexing manner.
Further, step 22 in the embodiment of the present invention includes:
step 221, alternately mapping the pilot sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port to the RE of one pilot symbol of the target subframe in a frequency division multiplexing manner.
As shown in fig. 3, the multi-antenna communication system includes 2 antenna ports, which are a first antenna port and a second antenna port; the 2 antenna ports alternately occupy REs of one pilot symbol. For example, taking the first pilot symbol of the target subframe as an example, the first pilot symbol in the target subframe includes 12 REs, then as shown in fig. 3, the first RE, the third RE, the fifth RE, the seventh RE, the ninth RE, and the tenth RE of the first pilot symbol are occupied by the first antenna port (that is, the pilot sequence to be transmitted of the first antenna port is mapped to the first RE, the third RE, the fifth RE, the seventh RE, the ninth RE, and the tenth RE of the first pilot symbol); and the second RE, the fourth RE, the sixth RE, the eighth RE, the tenth RE, and the twelfth RE of the first pilot symbol are occupied by the second antenna port (i.e., the pilot sequence to be transmitted of the second antenna port is mapped to the second RE, the fourth RE, the sixth RE, the eighth RE, the tenth RE, and the twelfth RE of the first pilot symbol).
Specifically, the pilot sequence to be transmitted is a ZC sequence. Furthermore, the transmission power of the pilot sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port can be used to make the transmission power on each symbol consistent; specifically, the transmission power of the pilot sequence to be transmitted at each antenna port is increased by 3dB on the basis of the existing transmission power.
Alternatively, step 22 comprises:
step 222, respectively mapping the pilot sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port to all the REs of one pilot symbol of the target subframe overlapped in time in a code division multiplexing manner; the pilot sequences to be transmitted at different antenna ports are different.
As shown in fig. 4, the multi-antenna communication system includes 2 antenna ports, which are a first antenna port and a second antenna port; each antenna port occupies all REs of one pilot symbol, and the pilot sequence to be transmitted is different for each antenna port. Specifically, the pilot sequences to be transmitted are ZC sequences. Accordingly, step 21 comprises:
generating different pilot sequences to be transmitted for different antenna ports according to a preset pilot sequence and Q different cyclic shifts; wherein the value of P equals the value of N.
The pilot sequences to be transmitted of different antenna ports are generated through the initialization ID of the same preset pilot sequence and different cyclic shifts, so that better relevant characteristics can be obtained.
Further, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a scheme of multiple antenna port transmit diversity based on the multiple multiplexed pilots, where both the way of multiplexing the pilot symbols based on the frequency division multiplexing manner and the way of multiplexing the pilot symbols based on the code division multiplexing manner are applicable to the scheme of transmit diversity provided in the present application, and for clarity and conciseness, in the following, for the sake of description of a transmit diversity method, in the following specific embodiments, an example is given in which the pilot symbols are multiplexed by the frequency division multiplexing manner.
Specifically, the method in the above embodiment of the present invention further includes:
and step 24, performing space-time coding processing or cyclic delay diversity processing on the data to be transmitted, and associating the processed data to be transmitted with the N antenna ports and transmitting the data through the N antenna ports.
As shown in fig. 5, the method for performing cyclic delay diversity processing on data to be transmitted includes: and the data to be transmitted is processed by Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD), each symbol of the data to be transmitted generates a fixed time delay, and then the data to be transmitted is associated with different antenna ports and transmitted.
Further, when STBC-based transmit diversity is used, step 24 comprises:
241, layering data to be transmitted, performing space-time coding operation on multilayer data by using a space-time block code (STBC), and determining M groups of data to be transmitted; each group of data to be transmitted comprises Q data; m is an integer greater than or equal to 2, and Q is equal to N;
step 242, selecting M OFDM symbols from OFDM symbols of a target subframe, and mapping the M groups of data to be transmitted to the selected M OFDM symbols respectively;
step 243, in the time slot interval corresponding to the M OFDM symbols, transmitting Q data included in the group of data to be transmitted mapped to the OFDM symbol from the N antenna ports, respectively.
Specifically, before step 243, the method further includes:
respectively carrying out inverse discrete Fourier transform on Q data included in each group of data to be transmitted;
accordingly, step 243 includes:
and in the time slot intervals corresponding to the M OFDM symbols respectively, transmitting Q data which are included in a group of data to be transmitted and mapped to the OFDM symbols and are subjected to inverse discrete Fourier transform from N antenna ports respectively.
As shown in fig. 6, firstly, data is layered, then space-time coding operation is performed on multi-layer data jointly, M groups of data to be transmitted after coding operation are mapped to M OFDM symbols, and then the data are associated with different antenna ports for transmission.
Specifically, under the condition that the subcarrier bandwidth of the direct communication link between the terminals of the current multi-antenna system is 15KHz, if the multi-antenna communication system includes 2 antenna ports and STBC coding can obtain 2 groups of data to be transmitted, the step 242 includes:
and selecting adjacent 2 OFDM symbols from other OFDM symbols except the pilot symbols in the target subframe.
As shown in fig. 7, adjacent OFDM symbols in the target subframe are paired into 2 OFDM symbols mapped with 2 groups of data to be transmitted, respectively.
Alternatively, step 242 includes:
selecting adjacent 2 OFDM symbols from other OFDM symbols except pilot symbols and isolated OFDM symbols in the target subframe;
as shown in fig. 8, the isolated OFDM symbols are the first last OFDM symbol and the second last OFDM symbol in the target subframe; or, as shown in fig. 9, the isolated OFDM symbols are a first OFDM symbol and a second OFDM symbol in the target subframe; alternatively, as shown in fig. 10, the isolated OFDM symbols are a first-to-last OFDM symbol, a second-to-last OFDM symbol, a first OFDM symbol, and a second OFDM symbol in the target subframe.
The main reason that the isolated OFDM symbols are the first to last OFDM symbol and the second to last OFDM symbol in the target subframe is that the last OFDM symbol used as the guard interval GP is not transmitted (equal to 0 power transmission), and if the second to last OFDM symbol is paired with the last GP OFDM symbol, the reliability of the second to last OFDM symbol is affected, so the first to last OFDM symbol and the second to last OFDM symbol are set as the isolated OFDM symbols.
The main reason why the isolated OFDM symbols are the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol in the target subframe is that the first OFDM symbol for AGC may not be received correctly, and if the first OFDM symbol for AGC and the second OFDM symbol are paired with the last GP OFDM symbol, the reliability of the second OFDM symbol is affected, so the first OFDM symbol and the second OFDM symbol are set as the isolated OFDM symbols.
Alternatively, step 242 includes:
selecting 2 OFDM symbols at two sides of the pilot symbol from other OFDM symbols except the pilot symbol and the isolated OFDM symbol in the target subframe;
as shown in fig. 11, the isolated OFDM symbols are the first OFDM symbol and the last to last OFDM symbol in the target subframe.
The main reason why the isolated OFDM symbols are the first OFDM symbol and the last OFDM symbol in the target subframe is that the last OFDM symbol used as the guard interval GP is not transmitted (equivalent to 0 power transmission) by the transmitting end, and the first OFDM symbol used for the AGC may not be correctly received; the first OFDM symbol and the last-but-one OFDM symbol are set as isolated OFDM symbols.
Further, the isolated OFDM symbol is processed as follows:
the isolated OFDM symbol is associated with any one of 2 antenna ports in a configuration or pre-determined mode; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,
the isolated OFDM symbols are sequentially associated with 2 antenna ports in turn according to a preset rule. For example, even REs are associated with a first antenna port and odd REs are associated with a second antenna port.
Further, if the original OFDM (e.g. 15KHz subcarrier bandwidth) symbol is split into two sub-OFDM symbols (e.g. 30KHz subcarrier bandwidth), for example, consider the case of introducing a subcarrier bandwidth of 30KHz, the selection of 2 OFDM symbols is as follows.
Firstly, splitting other OFDM symbols except pilot symbols in the target sub-frame into 2 sub-OFDM symbols respectively;
step 242 includes:
and determining 2 sub-OFDM symbols obtained by splitting one OFDM symbol as 2 OFDM symbols selected from the OFDM symbols of the target subframe.
As shown in fig. 12, when only the other OFDM symbols in the target subframe except the pilot symbol are split and the pilot symbol is not split, that is, the OFDM symbol occupied by the original data is split into two sub-OFDM symbols, the two sub-OFDM symbols are the OFDM symbols selected in step 242.
As shown in fig. 13, not only the other OFDM symbols in the target subframe except the pilot symbol are split, but also the pilot symbol is split, so that the OFDM symbol occupied by the original data is split into two sub-OFDM symbols, and the two sub-OFDM symbols are the OFDM symbols selected in step 242; after the pilot symbols are split, the pilot multiplexing modes of different antenna ports can be further multiplexed by a time division multiplexing TDM mode.
On the other hand, if only the pilot symbols are split and the OFDM symbols occupied by the data are not split, the method of selecting 2 OFDM symbols at this time is the same as the method of selecting without splitting symbols, and the description thereof will not be repeated.
In the case of a short subframe, for example, a slot-level TTI or a short subframe consisting of several OFDM symbols, the pairing relationship of 2 OFDM symbols selected in step 242 may be modified in some cases. The method comprises the following specific steps:
the position of the paired OFDM symbols, and the number of isolated OFDM symbols, which are mainly affected in the case of a 15KHz subcarrier bandwidth. The description will be made by taking scheme 1 as an example, as shown in fig. 14. In the case of the potential existence of 30KHz, if the division of the short subframe is divided with the original OFDM symbol as granularity, the above-mentioned OFDM symbol pairing method in fig. 12 and 13 can be directly applied by means of symbol splitting. In the short subframe, the CDD transmission diversity technology can directly extend the scheme in the common subframe to a shorter subframe on the basis of two DMRS ports.
In summary, in the above embodiments of the present invention, the pilot sequence to be transmitted of each antenna port is respectively mapped onto the resource units RE included in the pilot symbol of the target subframe, so as to implement multiplexing of the pilot symbols of different antenna ports, and meanwhile, the transmission of the pilot sequence on each antenna port can also meet the characteristic of a single carrier, thereby achieving the purpose of multi-antenna port transmission; diversity transmission is carried out on a plurality of antenna ports by adopting an STBC diversity coding mode so as to effectively improve the reliability of a link and further effectively increase the communication range between vehicles.
