Definitions
- the present invention relates to transmission technology in the wireless communication system, and in particular to an orthogonal cover code generation apparatus and method and an orthogonal cover code mapping apparatus and method in a wireless communication system such as an LTE/LTE-A system.
- LTE-A Long Term Evolution-Advanced
- 3 GPP requires providing a peak rate of 1 Gps and a peak spectrum efficiency of 30 bps/Hz in the downlink.
- a multi-antenna MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system is able to support parallel data flow sending thereby greatly increasing the system throughput.
- the independent forward error correction encoding is firstly performed on the parallel data flow in the multi-antenna transmission, and then the encoded code words are mapped into the corresponding data transmission layer.
- the number of all the layers supported by the system is also referred to as a Rank of this transmission.
- the process of transforming data in each layer into data on each physical antenna is referred to as a pre-encoding process for a signal.
- LTE-A Rel-10 supports a pre-encoding technology with maximum Rank of 8.
- the sending terminal should transmit pilot sequences used for channel estimation, namely demodulation reference signals (DMRSs), for the receiving terminal to perform MIMO decoding and related demodulation.
- DMRSs demodulation reference signals
- the design of DMRSs should satisfy that DMRSs corresponding to each data transmission layer are mutually orthogonal, i.e. ensure that there is no interference between equivalent channels of pre-encoded channels of respective sending antennas.
- DMRSs corresponding to each data transmission layer are distinguished in the manner of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and/or code division multiplexing (CDM).
- FDM frequency division multiplexing
- CDM code division multiplexing
- the code division multiplexing is implemented by spreading sequences whose correlation is ideal with orthogonal cover code sequences.
- the orthogonal cover code sequences usually employ Walsh Code sequences or Discrete Fourier Transform sequences.
- the orthogonal cover code sequences are mapped in the time domain, i.e. spread in the time domain, it is usually assumed that the channels in the physical resources corresponding to the cover code sequences are identical. Assuming that a spreading factor of a spreading sequence is M, the channel response of the M OFDM symbols are considered to be identical. This assumption is true in the low speed environment. However, with the increasing moving speed of a mobile station, variations of the channel response of the M OFDM symbols increase and the orthogonality of the spreading codes are destroyed, leading to mutual interference between respective data transmission layers and thus reducing the accuracy of the channel estimation.
- DMRSs are subjected to the same pre-encoding process as that for data and are mapped onto each sending antenna.
- the pre-encoding process performs linear superposition on the DMRSs corresponding to each of the code division multiplexed data transmission layers. If the DMRSs corresponding to the M data transmission layers are superposed in the same direction, a signal with amplitude of M is gotten; and if the DMRSs corresponding to the M data transmission layers are superposed in the opposite direction, they are mutually canceled out and a signal with amplitude of 0 is gotten. If such power imbalance of each of the sending antennas occurs in the entire frequency bandwidth, the efficiency of the transmission power may be reduced apparently.

Description
- The present application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/995,771, filed Jan. 14, 2016, which is a continuation application of the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/636,533 filed Mar. 3, 2015, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,264,164, issued Feb. 16, 2016, which is a continuation U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13/618,302, filed Sep. 14, 2012, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,001,639, issued Apr. 7, 2015, which is a continuation of international patent application No. PCT/CN2010/071532, filed Apr. 2, 2010, the entire contents of each are wholly incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to transmission technology in the wireless communication system, and in particular to an orthogonal cover code generation apparatus and method and an orthogonal cover code mapping apparatus and method in a wireless communication system such as an LTE/LTE-A system.
- The next-generation wireless communication system LTE-A (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) of 3 GPP requires providing a peak rate of 1 Gps and a peak spectrum efficiency of 30 bps/Hz in the downlink. This brings challenge to the transmission scheme in the physical layer of the system. A multi-antenna MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) system is able to support parallel data flow sending thereby greatly increasing the system throughput. Typically, the independent forward error correction encoding is firstly performed on the parallel data flow in the multi-antenna transmission, and then the encoded code words are mapped into the corresponding data transmission layer. In one transmission, the number of all the layers supported by the system is also referred to as a Rank of this transmission. The process of transforming data in each layer into data on each physical antenna is referred to as a pre-encoding process for a signal. LTE-A Rel-10 supports a pre-encoding technology with maximum Rank of 8.
- The sending terminal should transmit pilot sequences used for channel estimation, namely demodulation reference signals (DMRSs), for the receiving terminal to perform MIMO decoding and related demodulation. The design of DMRSs should satisfy that DMRSs corresponding to each data transmission layer are mutually orthogonal, i.e. ensure that there is no interference between equivalent channels of pre-encoded channels of respective sending antennas. In a Rel-10 system, DMRSs corresponding to each data transmission layer are distinguished in the manner of frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and/or code division multiplexing (CDM). The code division multiplexing is implemented by spreading sequences whose correlation is ideal with orthogonal cover code sequences. The orthogonal cover code sequences usually employ Walsh Code sequences or Discrete Fourier Transform sequences.
- If the orthogonal cover code sequences are mapped in the time domain, i.e. spread in the time domain, it is usually assumed that the channels in the physical resources corresponding to the cover code sequences are identical. Assuming that a spreading factor of a spreading sequence is M, the channel response of the M OFDM symbols are considered to be identical. This assumption is true in the low speed environment. However, with the increasing moving speed of a mobile station, variations of the channel response of the M OFDM symbols increase and the orthogonality of the spreading codes are destroyed, leading to mutual interference between respective data transmission layers and thus reducing the accuracy of the channel estimation.
- Moreover, in the Rel-10 system, DMRSs are subjected to the same pre-encoding process as that for data and are mapped onto each sending antenna. The pre-encoding process performs linear superposition on the DMRSs corresponding to each of the code division multiplexed data transmission layers. If the DMRSs corresponding to the M data transmission layers are superposed in the same direction, a signal with amplitude of M is gotten; and if the DMRSs corresponding to the M data transmission layers are superposed in the opposite direction, they are mutually canceled out and a signal with amplitude of 0 is gotten. If such power imbalance of each of the sending antennas occurs in the entire frequency bandwidth, the efficiency of the transmission power may be reduced apparently.

-
FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of an orthogonal cover code generation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Firstly, in step S110, a first group of orthogonal cover code sequences C1 is generated. The first group of orthogonal cover code sequences are represented by a matrix of [Cn, 1(1), Cn, 1(2), . . . Cn, 1(M)], which satisfy that any adjacent truncated sub cover code sequences [C2j-1, 1(2m−1), C2j-1, 1(2m)] and [C2j, 1(2m−1), C2j, 1(2m)] are also mutually orthogonal, where n is an index of N orthogonal cover code sequences included in the first group of orthogonal cover code sequences, M is a spreading factor of the orthogonal cover code sequence as a spreading sequence, N≦M, j is an integer satisfying 1≦j≦N/2, and m is an integer satisfying 1≦m≦M/2. Preferably, the first group of orthogonal cover code sequences C1 may be Walsh Code sequences or Fourier Transform sequences.
- Next, in step S120, column mirroring is performed on the first group of orthogonal cover code sequences, so as to generate a second group of orthogonal cover code sequences C2.
- Next, in step S130, cyclic shift processing of column vectors is performed on the first group of orthogonal cover code sequences, so as to generate a third group of orthogonal cover code sequences C3.
- Finally, in step S140, column mirroring is performed on the third group of orthogonal cover code sequences, so as to generate a fourth group of orthogonal cover code sequences C4.

- Preferably, more groups of orthogonal cover code sequences may be generated according to processes similar to those in the steps S130 and S140 by changing the displacement of the cyclic shift of column vectors.
-
FIG. 2 shows an example diagram of four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences C1 to C4 generated according to the present invention. In this example, there are totally generated four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences, with each group of orthogonal cover code sequences including four orthogonal sequences and the length of each orthogonal sequence being four. In this example, the generated orthogonal cover code sequences are Walsh sequences and the displacement of the cyclic shift processing of column vectors p=2. -
FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of an orthogonal cover code mapping method according to an embodiment of the present invention. - Firstly, in step S310, multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are generated according to the orthogonal cover code generation method shown in
FIG. 1 , where the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences include at least the first to fourth groups of orthogonal cover code sequences. - Finally, in step S320, pilot sequences are spread with the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences according to a predetermined mapping rule.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, the orthogonal cover code sequences are subjected to mapping processing in one or both of time and frequency domains.
- Preferably, the mapping rule is intended to reduce a variation range of transmission power of the pilot sequences, or guarantee orthogonality of the pilot sequences in specific time-frequency two-dimensional resources.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are made to be alternately present in the time-frequency resources corresponding to the pilot sequences of Frequency Division Multiplexing and/or Code Division Multiplexing in turn.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are made to be alternately present in the time-frequency resources corresponding to the pilot sequences of Frequency Division Multiplexing and/or Code Division Multiplexing in turn in one of the following orders: (C1, C2, . . . , CK-1, CK), (C2, C3, . . . , CK, C1), . . . (CK, C1, . . . , CK-2, CK-1); (CK, CK-1, . . . , C2, C1), (CK-1, CK-2, . . . , C1, CK), . . . , (C1, CK, . . . , C3, C2), where K is the number of the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, a mapping order of the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences in a first group of frequency domain resources of Code Division Multiplexing is made to be different from that in a second group of frequency domain resources of Code Division Multiplexing.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are made to be alternately present in the adjacent first and second groups of frequency domain resources of Code Division Multiplexing in turn.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRSs) of different data transmission layers of Code Division Multiplexing corresponding to two and four pilot symbols in the time domain are made to be mutually orthogonal, and the DMRSs of different data transmission layers of Code Division Multiplexing corresponding to four sub-carriers in the frequency domain are also made to be mutually orthogonal. Further preferably, in the spreading step, the DMRSs of different data transmission layers of Code Division Multiplexing corresponding to two adjacent pilot symbols in the time domain and two adjacent sub-carriers in the frequency domain are made to be mutually orthogonal.
- Preferably, in the spreading step, each physical resource block is made to contain at least the multiple groups of orthogonal cover code sequences.
- The orthogonal cover code mapping method according to the embodiment of the present invention is to be described in combination with the figures in detail as follows by taking an LTE-A Rel-10 system and 4 groups of orthogonal cover code sequences as an example. However, the skilled in the art should be clear that the present invention is not limited to the example described in the following.
-
FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of downlink DMRSs in the Rel-10 system. If the data flow is 1 or 2, in each sub-frame of the LTE-A system, the pilot occupies 12 sub-carriers (Resource Element, RE) in the physical resource blocks (PRBs) of the sixth and seventh OFDM symbols and the thirteenth and fourteenth OFDM symbols. The pilots of the first layer and the second layer occupy the same PRB and they are distinguished by an orthogonal cover code of a length of 2. If the data flow is >2, the DMRSs occupy extra 12 REs for transmitting the DMRSs of the third layer and the fourth layer. The pilots of the third layer and the fourth layer occupy the same PRB and they are distinguished by an orthogonal cover code of a length of 2. If the data flow is >4, the number of the REs occupied by the DMRSs does not change and is still 24. Each data flow may be distinguished in the manner of the code division multiplexing (CDM) and/or the frequency division multiplexing (FDM). One of the feasible multiplexing manners is shown inFIG. 4 . The first, second, fifth and seventh layers are multiplexed in the manner of CDM and are distinguished by an orthogonal cover code of a length of 4. The time-frequency resources occupied are represented by the dark grids in the figure, which are referred to asCDM group 1 for short. The third, fourth, sixth and eighth layers are multiplexed in the manner of CDM and are distinguished by an orthogonal cover code of a length of 4. The time-frequency resources occupied are represented by the grids with twills in the figure, which are referred to asCDM group 2 for short. Moreover, the first, second, fifth and seventh layers and the third, fourth, sixth and eighth layers are multiplexed in the manner of FDM. -
FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of mapping the four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences generated according to the present invention into the downlink DMRS resources in the Rel-10 system. It can be seen from the figure that the orthogonal cover code sequences are spread in the time domain. That is to say, the DMRSs corresponding to the same sub-carrier on the sixth, seventh, thirteenth and fourteenth OFDM symbols form a spreading code of a length of 4. For the time-frequency resource corresponding toCDM group 1, the generated four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are mapped sequentially in turn in the order of C1, C2, C3 and C4, so as to guarantee that all the orthogonal cover code sequences are included as much as possible in the entire frequency band corresponding toCDM group 1. For the time-frequency resource corresponding toCDM group 2, the generated four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are mapped sequentially in turn in the order of C4, C3, C2 and C1, so as to guarantee that all the orthogonal cover code sequences are included as much as possible in the entire frequency band corresponding toCDM group 2. The corresponding DMRS resources in each PRB, includingCDM group 1 andCDM group 2, all in turn include all the four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences. For example, in the first PRB, all the four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences are included in the (k)th, (k+1)th, (k+5)th and (k+6)th sub-carriers. Therefore, the effect of randomizing pilot sequences is achieved and the peak power of the sending signal is effectively reduced. -
FIG. 6 shows a schematic view of power distribution of mapping the pre-encoded four groups of orthogonal cover code sequences generated according to the present invention onto a first sending antenna. It can be seen from the figure that if all the row vectors in the pre-encoding matrix are 1, after the column vectors matrixes of the 4 groups of orthogonal cover code sequences C1˜C4 are respectively multiplied by the row vectors of the pre-encoding matrix and the products are respectively added, on the (k)th sub-carrier, corresponding DMRSs of the first, second, eighth and ninth OFDM symbols are respectively 4, 0, 0 and 0; on the (k+1)th sub-carrier, corresponding DMRSs of the first, second, eighth and ninth OFDM symbols are respectively 0, 0, 4 and 0; on the (k+5)th sub-carrier, corresponding DMRSs of the first, second, eighth and ninth OFDM symbols are respectively 0, 0, 0 and 4; and on the (k+6)th sub-carrier, corresponding DMRSs of the first, second, eighth and ninth OFDM symbols are respectively 0, 4, 0 and 0. It is not difficult to see that the power of the DMRSs is uniformly distributed on the four OFDM symbols, so as to avoid the problem of imbalanced power. -
FIG. 7 shows a schematic view of the orthogonality in time-frequency two-dimensions according to the mapping method of the present invention. The orthogonal cover code sequences are spread in the time domain, and the four pilot symbols in each sub-frame respectively correspond to four column vectors of the generated orthogonal cover code sequences. If the length of spreading is 2, the orthogonal cover code sequences mapped in this way also guarantee that the sequences corresponding to two pilot symbols in each sub-frame are orthogonal. Moreover, the sequences corresponding to adjacent four sub-carriers in each pilot symbol also satisfy the orthogonality of a length of 4 in the frequency domain. Furthermore, on two adjacent sub-carriers within a same CDM group, the corresponding DMRSs of adjacent two OFDM symbols also form a spreading code of a length of 4, i.e. the orthogonality is provided in the time-frequency two dimensions. For example, forCDM group 1, on the (k+1)th and (k+6)th sub-carriers, corresponding DMRSs of the first and second OFDM symbols also form mutually orthogonal spreading codes of a length of 4. - Although, in the above, the orthogonal cover code generation method and orthogonal cover code mapping method according to embodiments of the present invention are described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the skilled in the art should understand that the flow charts shown in
FIGS. 1 and 3 are only exemplary, and the flow of the methods shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 may be correspondingly modified according to practical applications and specific requirements. For example, the performing order of some steps in the methods shown inFIGS. 1 and 3 may be adjusted or some processing steps may be omitted or added as required. - The orthogonal cover code generation apparatus and orthogonal cover code mapping apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention are to be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings as follows.
