Background
In a Long Term Evolution (LTE) communication system, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme is generally used. Specifically, in the transmission process of an OFDM Symbol, in order to eliminate Inter Symbol Interference (ISI) and Inter Carrier Interference (ICI), a transmitting end copies a last part of data of an OFDM Symbol with a certain length and inserts the copied part of data into a front end of the OFDM Symbol, where the inserted part of data is called a CP, and then the transmitting end uses the data, into which the CP is inserted, that is lengthened as a new OFDM Symbol and transmits the new OFDM Symbol to a receiving end; and after receiving the new OFDM symbol, the receiving end demodulates the original OFDM symbol.
Currently, in order to adapt to different cell radii, two fixed CPs, namely, a normal (normal) CP and an extended (extended) CP, are defined in the standard of the LTE system, so that a transmitting end performs modulation based on the length of the normal CP or the extended CP, and a receiving end performs demodulation based on the length of the normal CP or the extended CP. However, since the CP does not carry any useful information, the length of the existing normal CP and extended CP is relatively long, which results in a low spectrum utilization of the communication system.

In order to describe the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application more clearly, the following describes in detail a CP length determining method and apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a possible communication system to which the CP length determining method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied, where an architecture of the communication system includes a first device and a second device. Wherein:
the first device is any one of a base station and a terminal device, and the second device is one of the base station and the terminal device other than the first device. When the first device and the second device transmit data, an OFDM modulation mode is adopted, that is, when the first device and the second device transmit data, OFDM symbols are mutually received and transmitted. Specifically, the first device and the second device respectively perform at least the following operations in the transmission process of the OFDM symbol:
for example, when the first device needs to send data to the second device, the first device inserts a CP in an original OFDM symbol, specifically: and the first device copies the last part of data with a certain length in the original OFDM symbol, inserts the copied part of data into the foremost end of the original OFDM symbol, and the data inserted into the foremost end is the CP, wherein the length of the data is the length of the CP. And then the first device sends the processed OFDM symbols to the second device. And after receiving the processed OFDM symbol sent by the first equipment, the second equipment demodulates the processed OFDM symbol according to the length of the CP to obtain the original OFDM symbol.
In the prior art, in the above procedure, the first device and the second device both use the CP length (i.e. the length of the normal CP or extended CP) specified by the protocol, which results in low spectrum utilization of the communication system. In the embodiment of the present application, in the above process, the CP length used by the first device and the second device may be a CP length that is selected according to the current channel quality information, and the selected CP length is smaller than the CP length used in the prior art, so that the disadvantages in the prior art can be effectively solved. The specific embodiments in the examples of the present invention are specifically described in the following examples.
It should be noted that the architecture of the communication system shown in fig. 1 is not limited to include the devices shown in the figure, and may also include other devices not shown in the figure, and those skilled in the art should understand that the details are not described here.
The communication system shown in fig. 1 is not intended to limit the communication system to which the embodiments of the present application can be applied. Therefore, the method provided by the embodiment of the application can also be applied to a fourth generation (4 generation, 4G) mobile communication system; and to various mobile communication networks of the fifth generation (5G) or the future.
The method for determining the CP length provided by the embodiment of the invention is suitable for the communication system shown in figure 1. Referring to fig. 2, the specific process of the method includes:
step 201: the method comprises the steps that a first device receives a reference signal sent by a second device, and determines channel quality information based on the reference signal, wherein the channel quality information is used for representing the channel quality between the first device and the second device.
The first device is any one of a terminal device and a base station, and the second device is one of the terminal device and the base station except the first device. Specifically, when the first device is a terminal device and the second device is a base station, the reference signal is a downlink reference signal; and when the first equipment is a base station and the second equipment is terminal equipment, the reference signal is an uplink reference signal.
In an optional embodiment, the channel quality information may include at least one or a combination of: SINR, CINR, multipath delay profile, beam angle spread, Doppler shift.
In a specific implementation, the reference signal sent by the second device to the first device is a signal with known content of the first device, and the first device may calculate channel quality information, that is, estimate channel quality between the first device and the second device, by analyzing the actually received reference signal and the reference signal with known content. Therefore, the first device can select a proper CP length to complete subsequent data transmission according to the channel quality information.
Optionally, before the first device receives the reference signal sent by the second device, the first device may further perform the following operations:
the first device sends first indication information to the second device, wherein the first indication information indicates that the first device has the capability of selecting different CP lengths;
and the first device receives second indication information of the second device, wherein the second indication information indicates that the second device has the capability of transmitting data according to different CP lengths.
By the method, the first device and the second device can both know that both can support different CP lengths to transmit data, so that the first device can determine the appropriate CP length required in the data transmission process, so that the CP length is adopted in the subsequent data transmission process with the second device, and the spectrum utilization rate of a communication system can be further improved.
Specifically, in the process of transmitting and receiving any indication information (first indication information or second indication information) in the above method, when the terminal device transmits the indication information to the base station: the terminal equipment directly sends the indication information to the base station; when the base station sends the indication information to the terminal equipment: the base station broadcasts the indication information so as to be received by the terminal equipment, or the base station directly sends the indication information to the terminal equipment. That is, when the first device is a terminal device and the second device is a base station, the terminal device directly sends the first indication information to the base station; and the terminal equipment receives the second indication information broadcasted by the base station, or the terminal equipment receives the second indication information directly sent to the terminal equipment by the base station. Similarly, when the first device is a base station and the second device is a terminal device, the receiving and sending principles of the indication information are the same, and are not described herein again.
Step 202: the first device determines the CP length corresponding to the channel quality information according to the stored corresponding relation between the plurality of channel quality information and the plurality of CP lengths, wherein the CP length is smaller than the normal CP length.
Specifically, in the data transmission process, different CP lengths have different data transmission effects under different channel quality information, and the corresponding CP lengths can ensure the transmission quality of data under the channel quality represented by the channel quality information. Therefore, the first device may determine the CP length corresponding to the channel quality information obtained in step 201 through the stored correspondence relationship, and further, the first device and the second device may perform data transmission by using the agreed CP length, so that the data transmission quality between the first device and the second device may be ensured, and since the CP length is smaller than the normal CP length, the spectrum utilization rate of the communication system may be improved compared with the prior art.
In an optional implementation manner, the sources of the correspondence stored in the first device may be classified into the following two types:
the first method comprises the following steps: the first device generates the correspondence.
And the second method comprises the following steps: the first device receives the corresponding relationship from the second device, wherein the corresponding relationship is generated by the second device.
In the above two sources, the generation manner of the correspondence relationship is the same. In an optional implementation manner, the correspondence is generated according to a plurality of channel quality information samples and a plurality of CP length samples. Specifically, when the first device or the second device generates the correspondence relationship according to the plurality of channel quality information samples and the plurality of CP length samples, the first device or the second device may perform machine learning training on the plurality of channel quality information samples and the plurality of CP length samples to generate the correspondence relationship.
Optionally, in the machine learning training process, the following machine learning algorithm may be adopted, but is not limited to: supervised learning algorithms such as a Regression model (Regression model) algorithm, a K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification algorithm, a Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm, a Bayesian learning (Bayesian learning) algorithm, and the like; unsupervised learning algorithms such as K-means (K-means) algorithms, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithms, Independent Component Analysis (ICA) algorithms, and the like; reinforcement learning algorithms such as Markov Decision Process (MDP) algorithms, Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) algorithms, enhanced learning (Q-learning) algorithms, and the like.
In an optional implementation manner, the correspondence relationship includes a correspondence relationship between first channel quality information and a first CP length, where the first channel quality information is one of the multiple channel quality information samples, and the first CP length is one of the multiple CP length samples; wherein a correspondence between the first channel quality information and the first CP length satisfies the following condition: the difference between the first data and the second data is within a set difference range; the second data is obtained by demodulating first intermediate data according to the first CP length, and the first intermediate data is obtained by modulating the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length. Specifically, the first intermediate data is obtained by modulating the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length, and adding channel distortion and noise to the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length to perform processing.
Specifically, the first data and the second data may be respectively composed of a plurality of bits, and the number of bits of the first data is the same as that of the second data. The difference between the first data and the second data may be obtained by: comparing values corresponding to the same bits in the first data and the second data, and processing a difference value obtained by comparing the values corresponding to all the bits into a target value, wherein the target value can be used as a difference between the first data and the second data. The method for processing the difference value obtained by comparing the values corresponding to all the bits into the target value may be, but is not limited to, a mean square method, a sum-of-mean square method, a least square method, and the like. Accordingly, the set difference range may be a set numerical range, such that the difference between the first data and the second data is within the set difference range when the target value is within the set numerical range. For example, the first data is 011110, the second data is 0.1, 0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.2, and when values corresponding to the same bits of the first data and the second data are compared, it is known that differences obtained by comparing values corresponding to six bits are 0.1, 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, 0.2, respectively, and the target value is 0.2 by summing squares of all the differences, and when the set difference range is 0 to 10, the target value is within the set difference range. Of course, the above examples are illustrative and many other ways or possibilities are possible. Optionally, in the foregoing process, the target value may be an obtained minimum value, so that when the first channel information corresponds to the first CP length, a data transmission error may be reduced, that is, data transmission quality is better.
In an optional implementation manner, when the first device generates the correspondence relationship according to the plurality of channel quality information samples and the plurality of CP length samples, the first intermediate data may be obtained by modulating, by the first device, first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length; the first intermediate data may also be sent to the first device after the second device modulates the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length. Specifically, the process of the first device generating the corresponding relationship in these two cases is introduced as follows:
a1, in a case that the first intermediate data is obtained by modulation by the first device, the determining, by the first device, that the first channel information quality and the first CP length form a correspondence may specifically be:
the first device randomly selects the first data, and modulates the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length to obtain first intermediate data; the first device demodulates the first intermediate data according to the first CP length to obtain second data; when the first device determines that the difference between the first data and the second data is within the set difference range, the first device determines that the first channel quality information corresponds to the first CP length. Thus, the corresponding relation between the first channel quality information and the first CP length is obtained.
A2, in a case that the first intermediate data is sent by the second device that receives, the determining, by the first device, that the first channel information quality and the first CP length form a corresponding relationship may specifically be:
after the second device determines the first data and modulates the first data based on the first channel quality information and the first CP length to obtain first intermediate data, the second device sends the first intermediate data to the first device, where the first data may be agreed between the second device and the first device; the first device demodulates the first intermediate data according to the first CP length to obtain second data; when the first device determines that the difference between the first data and the second data is within the set difference range, the first device determines that the first channel quality information corresponds to the first CP length. Thus, the corresponding relation between the first channel quality information and the first CP length is obtained.
In an alternative embodiment, the process in a1 may be referred to as an offline training process, that is, the first device performs the training of the correspondence relationship; the process in a2 may be referred to as an online training process, that is, when the first device and the second device communicate, the second device cooperates with the first device to complete the training of the correspondence relationship. Therefore, the CP length can be determined in any one of the two training modes according to actual requirements, and the success rate and the accuracy of CP length determination can be guaranteed.
In a specific implementation, the first device repeats the above-mentioned process of determining the correspondence between the first channel quality information and the first CP length through a plurality of channel information quality samples and a plurality of CP length samples, and finds a plurality of pairs of channel quality information samples and CP length samples that satisfy a condition that a difference between initial data (for example, the above-mentioned first data) and demodulated data (for example, the above-mentioned second data) is within the set difference range, that is, the correspondence between the plurality of channel quality information and the plurality of CP lengths can be obtained. Optionally, the difference between the original data (e.g., the first data described above) and the demodulated data (e.g., the second data described above) may also be treated as a minimized difference.
Optionally, when the correspondence is that the first device receives from the second device, a principle of generating the correspondence by the second device is the same as a specific process of generating the correspondence by the first device in the above description, and may be referred to each other, and details are not repeated here.
Step 203: the first device sends the CP length to the second device.
In a specific implementation, after the first device sends the CP length to the second device, when the first device and the second device perform data transmission subsequently, both the first device and the second device perform modulation and demodulation according to the CP length. That is, the first device sends data to the second device based on the CP length, and demodulates the received data based on the CP length after receiving the data sent by the second device. Similarly, the second device has the same structure, and the description is not repeated here.
In an optional implementation manner, the first device determines a CP demodulation template corresponding to the CP length, where the CP demodulation template is used to indicate a demodulation parameter corresponding to the CP length; and when the first equipment receives the data sent by the second equipment based on the CP length, the first equipment demodulates the data according to the CP demodulation template. Specifically, the first device stores a plurality of CP demodulation templates, the CP demodulation templates respectively correspond to a plurality of CP lengths one by one, and the first device may determine, according to the demodulation template corresponding to each CP length, a demodulation parameter corresponding to the CP length, and may further subsequently demodulate, according to the demodulation parameter, data based on the CP length.
In an optional implementation manner, when performing data transmission based on the CP length, the first device and the second device perform data transmission by using a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) time-frequency resource or a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) time-frequency resource, so that the CP length determined in this embodiment of the present application may be used on a corresponding PDSCH or PUSCH, such as the PDSCH shown in fig. 3a and the PUSCH shown in fig. 3 b.
In an alternative embodiment, the first device and the second device may stop transmitting data based on the CP length at the end of the current frame. Further, since the CP length used in the data transmission process in the current frame is smaller than the CP length specified in the prior art, the position of the reference signal in the next frame of the current frame relative to the position of the reference signal in the prior art may move forward with the change of the CP length relative to the CP length specified in the prior art. This saves time and frequency resources.
By adopting the method for determining the CP length provided by the embodiment of the application, after the first device determines the channel quality information based on the reference signal sent by the second device, the CP length corresponding to the channel quality information is determined according to the stored corresponding relation between the plurality of channel quality information and the plurality of CP lengths, and the determined CP length is sent to the second device, wherein the CP length is smaller than the normal CP length. In the method, the appropriate CP length can be selected according to the channel quality information, and the selected CP length is smaller than the normal CP length in the prior art, so that compared with the prior art, the useless data in the transmission process is reduced, and the spectrum utilization rate of the communication system can be improved.
Based on the above embodiments, the present application further provides a first device, which is applied to the first device in the communication system shown in fig. 1, and is configured to implement the CP length determining method shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 4, the first apparatus 400 includes: a receiving unit 401, a processing unit 402, a storage unit 403 and a transmitting unit 404, wherein:
