Description

时分双工多输入多输出的下行波束形成方法、 装置和系统 本申请要求于 2007年 12月 28日提交中国专利局、申请号为 200710306382、 发明名称为 "时分双工多输入多输出的下行波束形成方法、 装置和系统" 的中 国专利申请的优先权, 其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。 技术领域 本发明涉及通信技术领域, 尤其涉及一种时分双工多输入多输出的下行波 束形成方法、 装置和系统。 背景技术 近年来,信息论的研究已经表明,多天线技术( MIMO, Multiple Input Multiple Output ) 能够显著地提高通信系统的复用增益和分集增益。 如果采用 BLAST
( Bell-labs Layered Space Time, 贝尔实验室时空通信技术), 不同的发射天线将 发射不同的数据流, 此时系统的容量将与 MIMO信道的秩成比例增长; 如果采 用空时编码、 单波束形成技术, 所有天线将发射同一个数据流来提高传输可靠 性, 最大的分集增益可以等于发射天线数与接收天线数的乘积。 当然, 根据对 速率及可靠性的具体要求, 还可以将 MIMO系统设计为同时利用复用增益与分 集增益, 即在复用与分集之间达到一个折衷。
在频分双工 (FDD, Frequency Duplex Division ) 系统中, 由于下行信道不 容易获得, 故下行波束形成矢量一般由移动终端计算, 并从有限长度的码本
( codebook )中选取, 选取出来的最优码字(codeword )的编号由移动终端经低 速率的反馈信道反馈到基站。 这类方法通常被称为有限反馈预编码。 与 FDD不同, 在时分双工 ( TDD, Time Duplex Division ) 系统中, 由于上 下行链路利用相同的频率资源, 故上下行信道存在互易性, 即下行信道可以通 过上行信道的估计得到。 利用此信道信息, 可以采用多种预编码技术, 如奇异 值分解 ( SVD, Singular Value Decomposition ) , 迫零 ( ZF, Zero Forcing )、 最小 均方误差 (MMSE, Minimum Mean Square Error ), 汤姆林森-哈拉希玛预编码 ( Tomlinson-Harashima Precoding , THP ) 以及矢量预编码 ( Vector Precoding , VP )等。 对于 TDD - MIMO系统, 采用以上预编码技术的前提是移动终端要利 用所有的天线进行发射, 以使基站得到 MIMO信道的所有信息。 然而, 由于功 放功耗及复杂度等方面的限制, 目前移动终端虽然可以采用多天线接收, 但其 上传仍采用单天线。 这就使得基站利用互易性仅能得到关于移动终端一根天线 所对应的部分信道信息 (PCSI, Partial Channel State Information )„ 显然, 仅依 靠此部分信道信息, 传统的预编码技术无法实现。 此时的预编码只能利用部分 CSI以及信道统计信息加以实现。
TDD - MIMO 系统中, 一种现有的预编码实现方法是采用伪特征波束形成 技术。 其思想是重构信道的相关矩阵, 然后利用 SVD分解的方法实现多个流的 波束选取。 重构的相关矩阵由三部分加权形成, 即基站侧瞬时部分 CSI所形成 的秩为 1 的相关阵、 移动终端反馈的长时信道相关阵、 以及基站侧随机选取的 包含瞬时 PCSI的酉空间的长时统计。
然而, 这种方法需要移动终端长时统计量的反馈, 且基站与移动终端要同 时执行 SVD分解以选取传输模式, 同时基站还要维持一个随机统计量, 这个统 计量要通过连续的 QR分解来实现, 因此实现起来复杂度相对较高。 另外, 这种 伪特征波束形成技术中并没有确定最优的权值, 实际使用时只能利用经验权值。 显然, 这种伪特征波束形成技术没有充分利用精确的 PCSI, 其对应的数据流的 速率无法得到保证。 发明内容 本发明实施例提出一种时分双工多输入多输出的下行波束形成方法、 装置 和系统, 以降低实现复杂度。

本发明实施例中, 在有限反馈情况下, 利用约束最大似然方法估计移动终 端发射天线所对应信道矢量的方向, 并利用估计出的信道做奇异值分解(SVD ) 以确定最优的发射预编码矩阵。
图 1 是本发明实施例时分双工多输入多输出的下行波束形成方法流程示意 图, 该方法包括:
步骤 101 :移动终端计算移动终端非发射天线所对应的下行信道与码本元素 的相关值, 并向基站反馈所述相关值具有最大模值的码本元素的编号。
其中, 可以在移动终端和基站同时维持一个码本, 且所述码本的长度等于 基站发射天线数。
步骤 102: 基站根据相关值具有最大模值的码本元素的编号, 计算出移动终 端非发射天线对应的下行信道矢量, 基站再根据时分双工系统上下行信道对称 性, 测量得到移动终端发射天线的上行信道矢量, 并将此上行信道矢量作为移 动终端发射天线对应的下行信道矢量。
在这里, 基站可以通过约束最大似然估计算法计算移动终端非发射天线的 信道矢量。
步骤 103:基站综合移动终端天线的下行信道矢量作奇异值分解以确定最优 的发射预编码矩阵, 移动终端天线的下行信道矢量由移动终端非发射天线对应 的下行信道矢量和移动终端发射天线对应的下行信道矢量组成。
下面对本发明实施例的算法进行详细说明。
首先描述本发明实施例的系统模型。可以考虑如下单用户 MIMO系统模型: 假设基站天线数为 M ,移动终端天线数为 W (不失一般性,这里假设 W = 2 ), M大于等于 N。 移动终端通过所有天线接收数据, 但仅通过其中的一根天线上 传数据。 根据信道互易性, 基站侧能够得到与移动终端上传天线所对应的下行 信道信息。
假设基站同时复用 个数据流下发给用户, 则数据先通过一个波束形成矩 阵(预编码矩阵) W , 然后通过各个天线发射出去。 相应的基带输入-输出关系 可以描述为:
Figure imgf000009_0001
( 1 )
其中 是总的发射功率; "是加性高斯白噪声, 其分布服从 w
=而 。 预编码矩阵满足约束 irace( Hx, 其中 Y是接收到的信号, S是发 射信号。
MIMO信道之间的相关性通常可以利用 Kronecker积的形式加以表示, 即
Figure imgf000009_0002
其中 是 M xM发射端相关阵;
是 NxN接收端相关阵;
是 NxM空间不相关 MIMO信道, 一般假设其每个元素服从正态高斯分 布 W (0,1)。 由于移动终端常处于丰富的散射环境之中, 可以认为移动终端不存在相关 性; 而基站由于周围缺少散射体, 通常相关性不可忽略。
由以上分析, 实际的 MIMO系统可以用以下筒化相关模型加以近似:
Figure imgf000009_0003
其中 ^是移动终端第 i根天线与基站多天线之间的信道矢量。
R'一般可以利用如下相关系数矩阵加以近似: 1 P
P 1
R =
(P f-1 (P ) ( 4 )
其中 为相邻天线之间的相关系数。
以上发射端天线之间的相关阵实际上由系统载频、 基站天线排列、 天线之 间距离等因素决定。 可以通过基站侧的计算得到, 也可以通过移动终端经过长 时统计得到并反馈到基站。 在本发明实施例中, 假设由式(4 )确定的相关阵在 发射端可以通过基站侧的长时统计得到。
下面利用 FDD系统中有限反馈的思想, 根据本发明实施例, 从移动终端反 馈有限比特以描述关于第二根天线对应信道的信息, 在基站侧通过约束最大似 然估计求得此信道矢量, 然后根据所估计出的信道矢量结合由互易性得到的信 道矢量进行 SVD分解, 以确定发射波束。 此时, 可以进一步利用注水算法提高 系统的可达速率。
不失一般性, 假定移动终端有两根天线。
对于有限反馈下波束形成算法中的反馈信息的确定:
首先, 可以将移动终端两根天线所对应的信道矢量作相关, 并反馈相关系 数, 即
Figure imgf000010_0001
Figure imgf000010_0002
由于移动终端处于丰富的散射环境当中, 可以认为两个天线所对应的信道 矢量不相关。 因此式(5 )、 ( 6 )所得到的反馈值在统计意义上主要分布在 0 的 周围, 由于反馈量模值太小, 结合约束最大似然估计所得到的性能并不理想。 另一个反馈方案是在收发端同时维持一个码本(codebook), 然后在移动终 端计算第二根天线所对应信道与码本元素的相关值, 反馈具有最大模值的码本 编号。 设码本长度等于基站发射天线数(M=4), 则码本可以是任何四维酉空间 中的完备正交基。 因此随机选取任何四维酉阵所对应的列向量均可以作为一个 码本。 基于以上考虑, 以码本为基 的有限反馈方案的反馈量设计为: γ3 = arg max h2 c.
i=1-M ( 7 ) 及
Ύ, = max « c \
i=l,...,M I I (8)
其中 C = c2 M]是长度为 M的正交随机码本; 反馈量 ^为码本编号; ^为最大的相关系数。 对于约束最大似然估计 (CML): 在式(3)确定的相关信道模型下, 基站到移动终端任一根天线之间的信道 矢量 7 ^服从多变量复高斯分布 W (Q, ), 即其概率密度函数为: πΜ R, (9) 因此在约束(5)或(8)下, 关于 ^的最大似然估计可以等效成如下优化问
max h"Rth2, s.t. = 2 | 112
H |2
or γ, = max \h7 c\ ,
4 'ο' 2 (10) 上式的最优解可以转化为一个广义特征值问题, 即 hHRh f hHRh
ηΊ = are max―—— , or ηΊ = are max― ― ~
2 h hHkhHh 2 h hHc ,cH.h ( 11)
其中 c 是与 最匹配的码字
设 Φ = /ίΑ (或 Φ = ^赌),且假设矩阵对 ( ,Φ)的最大正广义特征值所对应的 广义特征值向量为", 则考虑信道模值后, 的估计为:
2 =ku ( 12 )
其中
Figure imgf000012_0001
(或 )是满足 模值约束的系数。
在以上所述中, 通过约束最大似然估计达到了对移动终端非发射天线所对 应信道矢量的估计, 这个估计不仅包括了信道矢量的方向, 还包括了信道矢量 的模值。 利用重构的信道, 移动终端可以进行 SVD分解、 功率注水, 以确定最 优的发射预编码矩阵。 不论是基于码本的有限反馈方案还是基于两个信道矢量 相关的反馈方案, 相关系数的模值都是需要反馈的。 反馈一个实数量无疑需要 较大的反馈量。
实际上, 为了使预编码不影响系统的传输速率, 预编码矩阵应该选定在信 道矩阵的两个非零奇异值所对应的右奇异矢量所张成的空间当中。 因此, 只要 找到这个空间, 其中的任何一个基均可以达到速率无损的传输要求。
引理 1: 其中《e C
Figure imgf000012_0002
J^J span(Vn) = span(V21) ^span(V12) = span(V22) 证明: 将 的 SVD分解写成紧凑形式 = υ^ν" ,
由于 为满秩矩阵, 故
span(H ) = span(Vn ) ( 13 )
同理有下式成立:
span(H" ) = span(V21 ) ( 14 )
由 及^的形式, 可以知道:
span(H ) = span(H" ) ( 15 )
由式(23 ) - ( 25 )可知: Vu ) = s V21 )。
考虑到 及 分别是 及 的完备正交补, 故 = 。
由引理 1 可知, 在不考虑功率注水时, 对于信道矢量模值的估计是没有意 义的。 因此在基于码本的反馈方案中, 仅需要反馈最相关的码本编号。
考虑到最大似然估计式(9 ), 要使
Figure imgf000013_0001
达到最大, 可以用发射相关阵 的 特征矢量作为码本, 此时能达到的最大值为 的最大特征值。 由于利用了信道 的相关特性, 故这种基于相关阵 EVD分解的方法在统计意义上能使信道矢量与 码本元素的相关值达到最大。
由于每次信道实现 的秩一般为 2, 即接收端天线数, 因此可以仅使用 的 两个最大特征值所对应的特征向量作为码本, 此时反馈量将仅有 1 比特, 且性 能不会有太大损失。
值得注意的是, 当码本采用发射相关阵的特征矢量时, 约束最大似然估计 其实是冗余的,因为此时 CML得到的信道矢量方向与码本元素的方向是一致的。 因此, 发射端的计算复杂度可以大大降低。
上述实施例详细描述了移动终端双天线的情形。 实际上, 本发明实施例可 以适用于移动终端多天线的情形, 此时移动终端的发射天线可以依次轮流发射, 下面, 根据本发明实施例, 给出基站四天线, 移动终端二天线 MIMO系 统在不同相关系数下, 下行链路的仿真性能。 在所有的仿真中均假设移动终 端通过一根天线发射, 且下行信道具有块衰落特性, 即在一个数据帧内信道 平稳, 在下一个数据帧内独立变化到另一状态。
图 2是根据本发明实施例有反馈情况下, ^ 0·2时 SNR与 Sum Rate的 仿真对比图; 图 3是根据本发明实施例有反馈情况下, ^ = 0·2时 SNR与 SER 的仿真对比图;图 4是根据本发明实施例有反馈情况下, ^ 0·8时 SNR与 Sum Rate的仿真对比图;图 5是根据本发明实施例没有反馈情况下, ^ = 0·¼ SNR 与 SER的仿真对比图。
对于有反馈下的波束形成算法, 有限反馈的码本分别采用了发射端相关 阵的特征向量及随机正交矩阵。 为了达到最佳的误码性能, 此处移动终端采 用 MMSE-BLAST接收机, 而对于可达速率的计算仍采用式( 12 )至( 14 ) 。 作为比较,图 2-5中给出了基于发射端相关阵 EVD分解的特征波束形成算法 及知道瞬时完全信道状态信息下的基于 SVD分解的波束形成方法。
图 2-5给出了在相关系数 ^ 0·2及 ^ 0·8时的性能。 从仿真曲线上可以看 出, 在 2比特反馈下, 利用随机正交码本的反馈方案有最差的性能, 其原因 是长度为 4的随机正交码本不足以充分刻划信道矢量的分布。 当发射端天线 相关系数较大时 ( ^ 0·8 ) , 采用发射相关阵 EVD分解作为码本的方案, 其 1比特反馈的性能与 2比特反馈的性能无明显差别。 随着相关系数的下降, 1 比特反馈的性能略有下降, 但反馈量的减少并没有带来太大的性能损失。
实施本发明实施例, 在有限反馈情况下, 利用约束最大似然方法估计移动 终端非发射天线所对应信道矢量的方向, 并利用估计出的信道做奇异值分解分 解以确定最优的发射预编码矩阵, 并不需要从移动终端反馈长时信道统计量到 基站, 降低了实现复杂度。
而且, 利用约束最大似然方法估计移动终端非发射天线所对应信道矢量的 方向, 并利用估计出的信道和移动终端发射天线对应以下行信道矢量一起组成 移动终端天线对应的信道矢量并找到该信道矩阵非零奇异值所对应的右奇异矢 量所形成的空间, 能够达到或接近完全信道状态信息时的性能。
