LTE (Long Term Evolution) only the pilot structure of Frequency division multiplexing (FDM, frequency-Division Multiplexing) is used for downlink MIMO signal transmission, so the multi-antenna channel estimation of the LTE system can be simplified to that of a single-antenna system. And the maximum supported antenna port number of the 5G downlink is twice that of the LTE system, if only the traditional FDM mode is adopted, the overhead of the pilot frequency becomes large, which seriously affects the performance of the system, so the 5G downlink adopts a pilot frequency placement structure combining frequency division multiplexing and code division multiplexing (CDM, code Division Multiplexing). This structure reduces the overhead of the pilot signal and has better performance when using an equal number of time-frequency resources. However, at the same time, the pilot structure also makes channel estimation more complex, the pilot signal using frequency division multiplexing can be easily separated in the frequency domain, the channel information corresponding to each antenna port can be directly obtained, and the channel information of each antenna port cannot be directly separated due to the change of the channel by using the pilot frequency using code division multiplexing; in this case, how to find the channel information of each antenna port is a difficult problem.
The Chinese patent application No. CN108809868A publication No. 2018, 11, 13 discloses a channel estimation method and system based on a 5G communication network, wherein the channel estimation method comprises the steps of demodulating a reference signal transmitted by a channel to obtain a demodulation reference signal; carrying out channel estimation on each subcarrier in the demodulation reference signal to obtain a channel estimation result of each subcarrier; and calculating the channel impulse response of each subcarrier according to the channel estimation results of the adjacent subcarriers with the preset number adjacent to each subcarrier. According to the embodiment of the invention, the channel impulse response of each subcarrier is calculated through calculating the channel estimation result of each subcarrier in the reference signal and the channel estimation results of the subcarriers with the adjacent preset number of subcarriers, so that the result error of the calculation of the single subcarrier is averaged, and the accuracy of channel estimation is improved. However, this document does not solve the problems of the prior art that the pilot signal overhead is large and the channel estimation complexity is high.

All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
The technical scheme of the invention is further described below with reference to the attached drawings and specific embodiments:
example 1
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the processing procedure of the 5G downlink in the embodiment of the present invention is as follows:
at the base station end, the user data stream is coded, rate-matched, modulated, layer-mapped, inserted pilot frequency is mapped to the time-frequency resource grid of each antenna port, pre-coded, then modulated by IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform ) and added with CP (Cyclic Prefix), and finally transmitted.
At the user end, the channel is received, de-CPs and FFT (Fast Fourier Transform ) de-modulation, sub-carrier de-mapping, pilot extraction, channel estimation.
Assuming that there is no interference between the pre-encoded beams, the method of packet interpolation-weighted combining channel estimation for the 5G downlink of the present invention will be described below by taking detailed analysis of users within one beam as an example.
The base station is provided with N T The root transmit antenna has P (p=1, 2,4,8, where p=4) antenna ports, the reference signals occupy the same time-frequency resource block, the antenna port set distinguished by OCC is called a CDM code group, W i Index set indicating the antenna port included in the i (i=0, 1 CDM code group, e.g., W) 0 = {0,1} means that the 0 th CDM code group contains two antenna ports 0 and 1.
Let user terminal configuration N R Root receiving antenna, where N T Far greater than N R The following description will take OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, i.e., orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) symbols containing pilots as an example. Let the number of frequency domain subcarriers of the system be N I The number of actually allocated subcarriers is N b RB number is N RB . If the first OFDM symbol in one data subframe on the p-th antenna port contains pilot frequency, making the OFDM symbol beFrom the pilot structure, it is known that:
wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,for the length N of the first OFDM symbol in one data subframe on the p-th antenna port p =6N RB Is a pilot sequence of (a); />Representing the orthogonal code used by the p-th antenna port; />Representing the pilot sequence to OFDM symbol subcarrier mapping matrix for the p-th antenna port.
The specific transceiving flow from the base station antenna port to the user antenna is as follows: (1) Each antenna port of the base station end will be N b Point-containing pilot data symbolsAccording to the centralized mapping matrix Q, from dimension N b Mapping the signal vector of (2) to N I Vector of dimension; (2) Precoding data of the P antenna ports, and mapping the data to N through a precoding matrix W T On each physical antenna, each antenna corresponds to N I A data vector of dimensions; (3) For N on each physical antenna I Vector N I Performing IFFT operation of points, performing serial-parallel conversion on the obtained time domain signals, and adding CPs; (4) the user receives the signal, removes CP and carries on FFT transformation; (5) Will receive N I Vector inverse mapping of dimensions to N b Is used for the signal vector of (a).
Let the downlink transmission channel be a quasi-static channel with a channel length L. The different antennas and the different paths are uncorrelated, and the receiving end is ideally synchronous. Then, the frequency domain expression of the j sub-carrier signal of the first pilot-containing OFDM symbol received by the nth antenna of the user is:
wherein h is n,m (j) Representing the frequency domain channel response of the jth subcarrier from the mth transmit antenna to the nth receive antenna,precoding matrix representing antenna port to physical antenna, < ->Nth OFDM symbol representing the nth antenna port i Symbol of subcarrier g n,m (j) Represents the N < th i Equivalent virtual channel response of sub-carriers from the p-th transmit port to the n-th receive antenna, ">Indicating that the nth receiving antenna is at the nth of the first OFDM symbol i Noise of sub-carrier, obeying the mean value 0, power +.>Is a complex gaussian distribution of (c).
All antenna ports are divided into different CDM groups, pilot frequency of the same CDM group antenna port occupies the same time-frequency resource, and the formula 2 can be written as follows by adopting code division multiplexing:
the pilots used by the antenna ports belonging to different CDM groups are frequency division multiplexed, i.e., the sets of time-frequency resource blocks used by them are independent and do not overlap each other, and the time-frequency resource used by one CDM group will not transmit any signal in the other CDM, i.e., set to zero, so the pilot signal of the ith CDM group can be easily extracted from equation 3, expressed as:
therefore, the signal that the terminal nth antenna receives all subcarriers of the ith OFDM symbol of the antenna port in the ith CDM group can be expressed as:
wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,g n,p =[g n,p (1),g n,p (2),…,g n,p (N b )] T ,/>is the complex Gaussian white noise vector of the ith OFDM symbol from the ith CDM code group antenna port to the nth receiving antenna, with dimension N b The mean value is zero, the variance is +.>Matrix P p Is a mapping matrix, is represented by N b N occupied by pilot signal in sub-carrier p The positions of the sub-carriers. For ease of calculation we here represent only the signal of the pilot sub-carriers
Wherein, the liquid crystal display device comprises a liquid crystal display device,representing the channel response for the subcarriers occupied by the pilot sequence. The generation of pilot sequence is known to be independent of antenna port number by the reference signal generation process, let +.>Equation 6 can be written as:
for convenience of presentation, we remove the superscripts that do not change in the following calculations. Thus, equation 7 can be reduced to
From the above equation, it can be seen that the downlink system can be simplified to a plurality of simple systems with two transmitting and one receiving, and the pilot signals of the two transmitting antenna ports are processed by adopting a code division multiplexing manner.
In the LS and MMSE channel estimation method, only the average value of every two adjacent pilots is obtained, namely the length N is used p The pilot sequence only finds N p The pilot information is not fully utilized by/2 frequency domain channel parameters.
Thus, to further improve the accuracy of the channel estimation, the present invention employs a packet-interpolation-filtering (Grouping interpolation and merging, GIM) algorithm.

Common one-dimensional transform domain methods are DFT channel estimation, DCT channel estimation, where partially symmetric spread DFT-transformed channel estimation (PSE-DFT) is employed.
LS estimation is carried out on the frequency domain received signal, and the obtained result is:
the obtained LS estimation value is subjected to mirror symmetry expansion, and each side is assumed to be expanded by P points, namely the original length is N p P points are spread on each mirror image on both sides to obtain a total length N p +2p sequence, the process of which is expressed by mathematical expression:
the DFT-transformed sequence after spreading can be implemented using an FFT algorithm if P chosen in the mirror-symmetric spreading is such that the total length after spreading is an integer power of 2. The expression is as follows:

Let a total of N σ The individual points are noise (this value is typically obtained from simulations), so the average is:
IDFT (Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform ) is performed on the filtered signal to obtain:
despreading the inverse transformed sequence and taking the middleN p The individual values can be obtained:
the MMSE filtered mixed channel vector may represent:

The mixed channel response g is the channel response g of each antenna port in the same CDM code group p And coefficient C p Multiplication and then summation. C (C) p Is formed by an orthogonal mask c p Obtained by periodic expansion, i.e. orthogonal code C p The elements in (a) have periodicity, and the periodicity is the number of OCCs in one CDM code group, and is also the number T= |W of antenna ports of one CDM code group i |。

as can be seen from equation 18, the combining and decomposing refers to decomposing T groups of combined signals with the first T frequency points of the mixed channel information after MMSE filtering as the starting point, and T as the sampling interval, where each group of combined signals is a linear combination of frequency domain responses of all antenna ports.
The T groups of combined signals obtained by the combination decomposition are subjected to independent interpolation, so that all N groups of combined signals can be obtained p Estimates of T different linear combinations of multi-antenna port frequency domain responses at each frequency point.

Synthesizing the estimated values of different linear combinations of the channel parameters of the plurality of antenna ports on each pilot frequency point by utilizing the synthesis matrix of the formula 20 to obtain an estimated value of the channel frequency domain response of each antenna, wherein the estimated value of the frequency domain response of the t antenna port is as follows:
the invention researches a grouping interpolation-weighting combination channel estimation method based on pilot frequency assistance of a 5G downlink, wherein a pilot frequency placement structure combining Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) is adopted in a system, the algorithm utilizes the periodical change of CDM codes in a frequency domain, sub-carriers with the same coefficient combination are extracted to be used as a group, then each group is interpolated to obtain channel information of all pilot frequency points, and finally the channel information of each group is combined to obtain frequency domain channel response of all pilot frequencies of each antenna port. Compared with the prior art, the structure reduces the overhead of pilot signals, has better performance when using the same number of time-frequency resources, and can obtain complete pilot information by utilizing a combination decomposition and combination synthesis method because the signals received by the antenna of the receiving end are mixed signals by adopting CDM multiplexing of a plurality of antenna ports, and reduces the complexity of the realization of the antenna port channel estimation method which adopts CDM multiplexing.
Unlike LTE, the pilot structure of the 5G downlink adopts a combination of FDM and CDM, where the FDM multiplexing mode is based on that different antenna ports occupy different subcarrier sets, so that different antenna ports are easily separated in the frequency domain. The CDM multiplexing means that different antenna ports occupy the same time-frequency resource, and the pilot signals of different antenna ports are obtained by multiplying the sequences by an orthogonal code using the same sequence.
The invention firstly describes the reference signal of the physical downlink shared channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, PDSCH) link of the 5G system, and then establishes a physical downlink shared channel model of the 5G system. Since the physical downlink shared channel model of the 5G system can be simplified into a CDM multiplexing multi-antenna channel model, the invention mainly expands and researches the model. Classical channel estimation methods are mainly LS estimation and MMSE estimation, and by directly using the method in a CDM multiplexing multi-antenna channel model, channel information of subcarriers occupied by pilot frequency cannot be obtained, and the obtained frequency domain channel parameters are far smaller than the pilot frequency length, for example, two antenna ports are multiplexed by CDM, and the obtained channel parameters are half of the pilot frequency length. In order to improve the accuracy of channel estimation, the invention provides a channel estimation method of packet interpolation filtering, which separates the channel information of multiple antenna ports by a mathematical method and avoids the interference between the antenna ports. Compared with the prior art, the pilot frequency placement structure combining Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) and Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) reduces the overhead of pilot signals, and has better performance when using the same amount of time-frequency resources.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical solution of the present invention, and are not limiting; although the invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical scheme described in the foregoing embodiments can be modified or some technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents; such modifications and substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
