Embodiment
In wideband OFDM system, carry out needing to set up before the message transmission mapping relations between transmission information and the subcarrier.Following two kinds of mapping modes are generally arranged: the local formula mapping of the first (LocalizedMapping), promptly use continuous a plurality of subcarriers; It two is distributed mapping (DistributdMapping), promptly uses discrete a plurality of subcarrier.If dot the subcarrier that is not used by this message transmission, and represent that with solid line this transmits employed subcarrier, then local formula is shone upon employed subcarrier as shown in Figure 1, and the employed subcarrier of distributed mapping as shown in Figure 2.
The major advantage of local formula mapping is to utilize the frequency selectivity of wideband OFDM system, the sub carrier group of selecting to be fit to its message transmission is transmitted, use link adaptation techniques simultaneously, allow transmitting terminal by changing transmission of Information code check or through-put power, adapt to the characteristic of channel on the different sub carrier.The major advantage of distributed mapping is to utilize the frequency diversity of wideband OFDM system, uses the discrete subcarrier that is distributed in the whole system bandwidth to carry out message transmission, and employed subcarrier disperses far more, and the frequency diversity effect of acquisition is obvious more.
Local formula mapping generally is used for the data traffic transmission under the low speed mobile environment, and this moment, the time-varying characteristics of channel were not obvious; And distributed sub-carrier generally is used for the transmission of data traffic transmission under the high-speed mobile environment and control information, feedback information, adapting to the tangible time-varying characteristics of high-speed case lower channel, and by frequency diversity for control information with feedback information provides fast, transmission reliably.
Under local formula mapping mode, the user uses a plurality of continuous sub-carriers to carry out message transmission.Though symmetry according to TDD system up-downgoing channel, the identical subcarrier of up in theory and descending use carries out message transmission and can obtain better transmission performance, but because the asymmetry characteristics of up-downgoing business, it is infeasible basically that user's uplink is used identical subcarrier with downlink transfer.
For distributed mapping, subcarrier is distributed in the frequency band discretely, shared frequency band broad.Carry out message transmission if use distributed mapping on direction of up-downgoing, the communication node of reception information just can be by carrying out channel estimating to received signal, obtain the characteristic of channel on the broad frequency band, as long as the employed frequency band of transmission is positioned near the bandwidth range that obtains channel estimation value on the another one direction, just can utilize the channel estimation value of acquisition to communicate the transmission pretreatment operation of node, carry out the message transmission on the another one direction, thereby realize the symmetry of up-downgoing channel.
Figure 3 shows that the flow chart of realization channel symmetry method of the present invention.At step S010, communication node receives the information that the opposite end that communicates with sends in subcarrier distributed mapping mode.
At step S020, the original position a of the employed subcarrier of communication node recorder information and final position b; In the information of reception, communication node also obtains the channel estimation value of the employed a plurality of distributed sub-carriers of reception information.
The start-stop position a of record subcarrier and b are the scopes [a, b] in order to indicate the employed distributed sub-carrier of reception information.Be without loss of generality, can be with subcarrier according to the order number consecutively from the low frequency to the high frequency, then original position a is the numbering of the minimum subcarrier of the employed distributed sub-carrier medium frequency of reception information, final position b is the numbering of the highest subcarrier of frequency.
Communication node adopts method of the prior art can obtain the channel estimation value of distributed sub-carrier from reception information.
At step S030, the subcarrier that can use when communication node is determined transmission information.
At step S040, when judge sending can with subcarrier whether all be positioned within [a, b] scope, if, execution in step S050; If not, execution in step S060.
At step S050, utilize the channel estimation value of a plurality of distributed sub-carriers in [a, the b] scope that obtains, by method, calculate the channel estimation value of available subcarrier when sending to interpolate value, change step S090.
At step S060, when judge sending can with subcarrier whether all be positioned at outside [a, b] scope, if, execution in step S070; If not, execution in step S080.
At step S070, utilize the channel estimation value of a plurality of distributed sub-carriers in [a, the b] scope that obtains, by method, calculate the channel estimation value of available subcarrier when sending to extrapolated value, change step S090.
At step S080, during transmission can with subcarrier comprise the part that is positioned within [a, b] scope and be positioned at part outside [a, b] scope.Utilize the channel estimation value of a plurality of distributed sub-carriers in [a, the b] scope that obtains, the channel estimation value of available subcarrier when calculating the part transmission that is positioned within [a, b] scope by method to interpolate value; The channel estimation value of available subcarrier when calculating the part transmission that is positioned at outside [a, b] scope by method to extrapolated value.
From step S040 to S080, the channel estimation value of a plurality of distributed sub-carriers in [a, b] scope that the communication node utilization obtains when receiving information, the channel estimation value of available subcarrier when drawing transmission by interpolation algorithm.By the next characteristic of channel of interpolation algorithm, estimate the characteristic of channel of other unknown subcarriers comparatively exactly among the present invention, be provided at the basis of realizing channel symmetry on the different subcarrier of up-downgoing according to some known subcarrier.
The equipment and the environment that adopt which kind of interpolation algorithm specifically to use according to the present invention are determined, for example adopt once linear interpolation algorithm, quadratic interpolation algorithm etc.The existing in the prior art multiple implementation of interpolation algorithm repeats no more herein.
At step S090, the channel estimation value of communication node available subcarrier during by the transmission that calculates carries out the preliminary treatment that information sends.
Carry out the subcarrier mapping according to the channel symmetry in this step, both can adopt local formula carrier wave mapping mode, also can adopt the distributed sub-carrier mapping mode.The present invention recommends to adopt local formula carrier wave mapping mode, because employed subcarrier was positioned at when receiving employed subcarrier scope or employed subcarrier scope during as much as possible near reception when communication node was sent, these subcarrier channel estimation of utilizing interpolation algorithm to obtain have higher accuracy, thereby realize channel symmetry better.
In addition, according to the channel estimation value on each subcarrier that obtains, the pretreatment operation that the information of carrying out sends comprises multiple mode, such as carrying out link circuit self-adapting, wave beam forming etc.When carrying out wave beam forming, communication node can be by the weights of the channel estimation value compute beam figuration on each subcarrier that obtains.A kind of weight calculation method of typical wave beam forming is that the win the confidence conjugation of estimated value gets final product.When carrying out wave beam forming, communication node uses the weights that calculate, and multiply by the information data that needs transmission, obtains pretreated information data.
At step S100, communication node sends information to the opposite end, realizes the channel symmetry of up-downgoing.
Said method of the present invention can be used for carrying out downlink transfer according to the channel estimation value of uplink, also can be used for carrying out uplink according to the channel estimation value of downlink transfer.
