Description

Time slot aggregation method, device and base station
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of digital communication technologies, and in particular, to a time slot aggregation method, apparatus, and base station.
Background
In a digital communication system, Demodulation of data relies on estimation of a channel by a DMRS (Demodulation reference signal). The resource occupied by the DMRS in one physical resource block is configurable and is usually represented by a DMRS pattern. In an OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on cyclic prefixes, a DMRS pattern generally includes a set of pre-DMRSs and a series of additional DMRSs, and a base station configures a combination of the pre-DMRSs and the additional DMRSs for downlink and uplink according to a current channel condition and a number of transmission ports. Fig. 1 shows a method for configuring a DMRS pattern, where in one physical resource block shown in fig. 1, 1 slot has 14 symbols, where a control region occupies 2 symbols, and different shaded portions represent DMRSs configured for different ports by a base station.

a pre-DMRS, referred to herein as a DMRS indicating that the data precedes/precedes the DMRS on the first slot, is configured in the first slot, which may be 1 symbol or 2 symbols, and no DMRS is transmitted in the second slot. The DMRS pattern of the mode of dual-slot aggregation is marked as mode 1, and in the mode 1, all ports have no DMRS in the second slot, so that the overhead of the DMRS can be reduced, more resources occupied by transmission data are ensured, and the data transmission rate is improved.
When the pre-DMRS is 1 symbol, one configuration of the dual-slot aggregation DMRS pattern in mode 1 is shown in fig. 4 a; one configuration of the dual-slot aggregated DMRS pattern for mode 1 when the preamble DMRS is 2 symbols is shown in fig. 4 b.
Further, after configuring the pre-DMRS in the first slot, configuring a post-DMRS in the second slot, where the post-DMRS is a DMRS that indicates to be present on any one/two symbols in the second half of the second slot, the number of symbols of the post-DMRS is the same as the number of symbols of the pre-DMRS, and the frequency-domain density of the post-DMRS is equal to the frequency-domain density of the pre-DMRS. The double-slot aggregation DMRS pattern in the mode is marked as a mode 2, and in the mode 2, the extrapolation proportion of channel estimation can be reduced, so that the accuracy of channel estimation in medium and low speed movement is improved.
When the front DMRS and the rear DMRS respectively occupy 1 symbol, one configuration of the dual slot aggregation DMRS pattern of the mode 2 is as shown in fig. 5a, where the DMRS of the second slot is located in one symbol of the last 7 symbols of the slot; when the front DMRS and the rear DMRS occupy 2 symbols, one configuration of the dual-slot aggregation DMRS pattern of mode 2 is shown in fig. 5b, and the DMRS of the second slot is located in two symbols of the last 7 symbols of the slot.
