Detailed Description
The following detailed description of embodiments of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the signal processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a sending end, where the sending end has one or more phase tracking reference signal PT-RS ports; the method comprises the following steps:
step 101, determining a frequency band number mode of a scheduling bandwidth allocated to a user.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the band number mode includes a high band number mode and a low band number mode. The high-frequency band number mode refers to a mode in which the PT-RS signal is uniformly arranged in the frequency domain, and the low-frequency band number mode refers to a mode in which the PT-RS signal is non-uniformly arranged in the frequency domain.
Specifically, in this step, for the target PT-RS port, the number M of subcarriers occupied by the target PT-RS port in the scheduling bandwidth may be determined first, and the number N of frequency bands in the scheduling bandwidth may be obtained. Then, the number M of subcarriers is compared with the number N of frequency bands.
If N is larger than M, determining that the scheduling bandwidth allocated to the user is a high-frequency band number mode; if N is less than or equal to M, determining that the scheduling bandwidth allocated to the user is a low-frequency bandwidth number mode; wherein N and M are natural numbers.
In practical application, the number M of subcarriers occupied by the target PT-RS port in the scheduling bandwidth may be determined according to the corresponding relationship between the scheduling bandwidth and the frequency domain density of the PT-RS signal and the preset scheduling bandwidth.
And 102, if the frequency band number mode is the low frequency band number mode, sequentially mapping the PT-RS in each frequency band included in the scheduling bandwidth for any target PT-RS port in the one or more PT-RS ports.
In the embodiment of the present invention, mapping may be performed as follows:
in a first method, for any target frequency band of N frequency bands, when mapping PT-RS for the l-th time, the PRB position number of the PRB corresponding to the target subcarrier in the target frequency band is obtained, and the number of PRBs in the target frequency band is obtained. If the position serial number is smaller than the number of PRBs in the target frequency band, mapping PT-RS on the PRBs corresponding to the target subcarriers; otherwise, the PT-RS mapping is not carried out in the target frequency band. The position number in each PRB may be numbered from 0, may be numbered from 1, or the like.
The position sequence number of the target subcarrier in the PRB corresponding to the target subcarrier is S + (l-1) xD; wherein, S is an integer, l, D is a natural number, which means that each D PRBs contain a PT-RS subcarrier.
In a second way, in order to ensure better data transmission and meet the transmission requirements of different frequency bands, N frequency bands may be first sorted in the order from large to small. And for any target frequency band in the sequenced N frequency bands, acquiring the PRB position serial number of the PRB corresponding to the target subcarrier in the target frequency band when carrying out the mapping of the PT-RS for the l time. And acquiring the number of PRBs in the target frequency band. If the position serial number is smaller than the number of PRBs in the target frequency band, mapping PT-RS on the PRBs corresponding to the target subcarriers; otherwise, not performing the PT-RS mapping in the target frequency band;
the position sequence number of the target subcarrier in the PRB corresponding to the target subcarrier is S + (l-1) xD; wherein, S is an integer, l, D is a natural number, which means that each D PRBs contain a PT-RS subcarrier.
In the two manners, after the first mapping of PT-RS is completed, it may be further determined whether all PT-RSs are mapped within the N frequency bands, and if not, the PT-RS mapping process may be continuously performed in the manner of the first manner or the second manner. If the mapping process continues in mode two, there may be no need to reorder the N bands.
On the basis, if the frequency band number mode is the high frequency band number mode, the mapping of the PT-RS is sequentially performed for every D PRBs on the whole scheduling bandwidth, wherein D is a natural number.
And 103, transmitting the PT-RS signal according to the mapping result.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the frequency band number mode of the scheduling bandwidth allocated to the user is the low frequency band number mode, for any target PT-RS port in one or more PT-RS ports of the sending end, the PT-RS mapping is sequentially carried out in each frequency band included in the scheduling bandwidth, and the PT-RS signal is transmitted according to the mapping result, so that the phase noise characteristics of all frequency bands in the user scheduling bandwidth can be obtained, and the performance of phase noise compensation is ensured.
Assuming that the PT-RS of the transmitting end has a plurality of ports, a PT-RS port will be described as an example. The transmission scheme of the other ports is identical. And determining the number M of subcarriers occupied by one PT-RS port in the scheduling bandwidth according to the corresponding relation between the actual scheduling bandwidth of the user and the frequency domain density of the PT-RS and the scheduling bandwidth predefined by the system. .
And judging the relation between the frequency band number N in the actual scheduling bandwidth of the user and the calculated M value, thereby determining the frequency band number mode. N and M are natural numbers. If N is larger than M, the mode is a high-frequency band number mode, and the mode is equivalent to a continuous scheduling bandwidth of a frequency domain. Then, according to the corresponding frequency domain density, sequentially mapping PT-RS every T PRBs in the frequency domain, wherein T is a natural number; if N is less than or equal to M, the low frequency band number mode is adopted, and the following mapping operation is carried out.
And sequentially carrying out PT-RS mapping according to the frequency domain sequence of the N frequency bands. In the first mapping, a PT-RS is mapped (can be selected arbitrarily) on a certain subcarrier of an S-th PRB (S is an integer) of each frequency band in the N frequency bands; during the second mapping, a PT-RS is mapped on a subcarrier of the S + D PRB of each frequency band in the N frequency bands, and if the S + D exceeds the number of PRBs of the frequency band, the frequency band is skipped over and the PT-RS mapping is not carried out; and mapping the PT-RS on a sub-carrier of the S + (l-1) multiplied by D PRB of each frequency band in the N frequency bands in the first mapping, and skipping the frequency band and not mapping the PT-RS if the S + (l-1) multiplied by D exceeds the number of PRBs of the frequency band. Until the M PT-RSs complete mapping.
Or in the above process, before mapping, the N frequency bands are sorted according to the size order of the bandwidth, and PT-RS mapping is performed in sequence according to the sorted order of the N frequency bands. Then, the sorted N frequency bands are mapped in the above manner.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the frequency band number mode of the scheduling bandwidth allocated to the user is the low frequency band number mode, for any target PT-RS port in one or more PT-RS ports of the sending end, the PT-RS mapping is sequentially carried out in each frequency band included in the scheduling bandwidth, and the PT-RS signal is transmitted according to the mapping result, so that the phase noise characteristics of all frequency bands in the user scheduling bandwidth can be obtained, and the performance of phase noise compensation is ensured.
As shown in fig. 3, the signal processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention is applied to a receiving end, and the method includes:
step 201, receiving PT-RS signals of a plurality of PT-RS ports on a scheduling bandwidth. And if the scheduling bandwidth is in a low-frequency band number mode, mapping the PT-RS signals of the PT-RS ports in each frequency band contained in the scheduling bandwidth.
Step 202, performing channel estimation on the PT-RS signal of each port, respectively, to obtain a channel estimation value of each subcarrier transmitting the PT-RS signal of each port.
And 203, acquiring a channel estimation result of the DMRS port corresponding to each PT-RS port.
And step 204, determining a phase change estimation value corresponding to each PT-RS port according to the channel estimation value of each subcarrier.
In the embodiment of the invention, a channel estimation value of each DMRS port on each subcarrier is obtained, and the quotient of the signal estimation value of each subcarrier of each PT-RS port and the channel estimation value of the DMRS port corresponding to each PT-RS port on each subcarrier is used as a phase change estimation value on each subcarrier. And taking the average value of the phase change estimated values on all the subcarriers as the phase change estimated value.
Alternatively, the phase change estimate for each frequency band may also be determined as follows. And acquiring a channel estimation value of each DMRS port on each subcarrier, and taking the quotient of the signal estimation value of each subcarrier of each PT-RS port and the channel estimation value of the DMRS port corresponding to each PT-RS port on each subcarrier as a phase change estimation value on each subcarrier. And for each frequency band in the scheduling bandwidth, taking the average value of the phase change estimated values on each subcarrier in the frequency band as the phase change estimated value of each frequency band.
And step 205, performing phase compensation on the channel estimation result of the DMRS port according to the phase change estimation value.
Here, a product of the phase variation estimation value and the channel estimation result of the DMRS port may be used as a phase-compensated channel estimation result. Or the product of the phase change estimation value of each frequency band and the channel estimation result of the DMRS port can be used as the channel estimation result after the phase compensation of each frequency band.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the frequency band number mode of the scheduling bandwidth allocated to the user is the low frequency band number mode, for any target PT-RS port in one or more PT-RS ports of the sending end, the PT-RS mapping is sequentially carried out in each frequency band included in the scheduling bandwidth, and the PT-RS signal is transmitted according to the mapping result, so that the phase noise characteristics of all frequency bands in the user scheduling bandwidth can be obtained, and the performance of phase noise compensation is ensured.
On the basis of the above embodiments, in order to ensure data transmission, the channel estimation result of the phase-compensated DMRS port may be used to demodulate user data.
In the following embodiment, it is assumed that the transmitting end transmits a 2-port PT-RS. The scheduling bandwidth of the user is 25 PRBs, which are divided into N-4 frequency bands, and the bandwidth is 5 PRBs, 1 PRB, 2 PRBs and 17 PRBs, respectively, as shown in fig. 4.
At a sending end, according to a relation between a user scheduling bandwidth predefined by a system and a PT-RS frequency domain density, assuming that the frequency domain density corresponding to the bandwidth is that every 4 PRBs transmit a PT-RS subcarrier, that is, D is 4. Thus, one PT-RS port occupies 7 subcarriers.
N and M are compared. Since N < M, the following mapping is performed.
And sequentially carrying out PT-RS mapping according to the frequency domain sequence of the N-4 frequency bands. In the first mapping, PT-RS port 0 is mapped on the 10 th subcarrier of the S ═ 1 th PRB of each band, and PT-RS port 1 is mapped on the 9 th subcarrier. Thus each port maps to 4 subcarriers in total; in the second mapping, PT-RS port 0 is mapped on the 10 th subcarrier of the S + D ═ 5 th PRB of each band, and PT-RS port 1 is mapped on the 9 th subcarrier. In fig. 4, the number of PRBs in the 2 nd and 3 rd frequency bands is less than 5, so that the frequency band is skipped without performing PT-RS mapping, and mapping is performed only on the 1 st and 4 th frequency bands, so that each port is mapped to 2 subcarriers at this time; in the 3 rd mapping, PT-RS port 0 is mapped on the 10 th subcarrier of the S +2 × D9 th PRB per band, and PT-RS port 1 is mapped on the 9 th subcarrier. Since the number of PRBs in the 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd frequency bands is less than 9 in the figure, the frequency band is skipped over, the PT-RS mapping is not performed, and the mapping is performed only on the 4 th frequency band, so that each port is mapped to 1 subcarrier at this time. And the M-7 PT-RSs complete mapping and transmit.
And at a receiving end, receiving the PT-RS of 2 ports on the scheduling bandwidth, respectively carrying out channel estimation on the PT-RS signal of each port, and acquiring a corresponding channel estimation value on the M-7 subcarriers.

Will be located atThe result of the channel estimation of the DMRS on OFDM symbol 3 subcarrier k is denoted Hk,3The phase change of each OFDM symbol l 4-12 relative to OFDM symbol 3 is calculated as follows:
for the PT-RS port 0, the phase change estimated on M-7 subcarriers is averaged to obtain the phase change estimate on the scheduling bandwidth, that is, the phase change estimate is obtained
