无线接入网络的上行信号
发送和信道估计方法和装置 技术领域
本发明涉及基于多载波的无线接入网络, 尤其涉及基于多载波的无 线接入网络中的上行数据发送及对上行通信的处理。 背景技术
多用户多入多出 ( MU-MIMO )
MU-MIMO的上行链路通常被称作多址接入信道(MAC ), 下行链 路则被称为广播信道(BC )。 在上行链路中, 所有移动终端工作在相同 的频段上并同时向基站发送信号, 而后基站通过适当的方法来区分用户 数据, 基站需要针对不同的多址接入方式采用阵列处理、 多用户检测或 者其他有效方法来分离各个用户的数据。 下行链路中, 基站将通过处理 的数据串并转换成多个数据流, 每一路数据流经脉冲成形、 调制, 然后 通过多根天线同时发送到无线空间, 每一个接收天线接收到的是基站发 送给所有通信用户的信号与干扰和噪声的叠加, 其中要注意消除由此带 来的多址干扰(MAI )。 本文中, 不对 "用户" 和 "移动终端" 这两个 概念特别加以区分。
由于 MU-MIMO系统中各用户的信道彼此独立, 因此, 用户一般能 够知道自己的信道状态信息, 却很难获得其他用户的信道信息, 而获得 其它用户的信道信息需要付出很大的代价。 也就是说用户之间很难进行 协作。 与此相反, 基站有条件获得所有通信用户的信道状态信息, 对于 时分双工系统 (TDD ), 这可由基站接收的上行链路的训练或者导频序 列来获得, 对于频分双工 (FDD ) 系统则可以通过反馈获得。 另外, 基 站的处理能力也要比移动终端 (MS ) 强得多, 因此一般都是由基站在 发射信号前做信号预处理 (比如波束成形), 以消除、 抑制干扰或者在 接收到信号之后进行后处理来区分用户。
由于多用户 MIMO 系统使用同一频段, 故可以应用除频分多址 ( FDMA )之外的其他多址接入方式。 其中, 时分多址 (TDMA ) 频谱 效率较低, 码分多址 (CDMA ) 需要消耗大量的码资源, 而空分多址 ( SDMA )没有这两个缺点。 同时, 多用户 MIMO的多天线也能够很好 地满足空分多址对空间维数的要求, 因此空分多址 (SDMA ) 成为多用 户 MIMO系统的一种重要的多址方式。
多用户 MIMO具有很多优点,比如利用多天线的复用增益来扩大系 统的吞吐量, 利用多天线的分集增益来提高系统性能, 利用天线的方向 性增益来区分用户而消除用户间的干扰等等。 当然, 如果联系实际应用 的实现问题, 则必须把算法实现的复杂度也考虑进来, 需要在性能和复 杂度之间找一个折衷点。复杂度可以说是多用户 MIMO技术所带来的众 多优点所必需付出的代价。 由多个单天线移动终端实现的基于协作分集的虛拟 MIMO ( VMIMO ) 理想的 MIMO 多天线系统要求相邻天线之间的间距远大于电波波 长, 并且多个收发天线之间的传输信道是不相关的, 而由于质量、 体积 和功耗等的限制, 移动终端一直以来很难实现多个天线的安置, 满足上 述理想化的要求就更不现实。 于是 Sendonaris等人提出了一种新的空域 分集技术——协作分集, 其基本原理是: 一个移动终端除了要向基站传 送自己的信息外, 还要把从其合作者 (partner, 另一移动终端)处接收 到的信息发送给基站。 同时, 其合作者的一部分信息也由该移动终端接 收并转发给基站。 这样, 两个移动终端就分别与基站间产生了两条独立 衰落路径, 从而以模仿传统的多发射天线分集方式获得了空间分集增 益。 对于通过不同路径发来的上行信号, 基站通过干扰抵消、 最大似然 准则 (ML ) 等联合检测技术, 可以有效地对抗多用户干扰。 由多个单天线移动终端实现的基于协作空间复用 (CSM )的虚拟 MIMO 在基于 IEEE802.16e标准的移动 WiMAX系统配置 1.0版本的协议 中, 提出了将具有单根发射天线的两个移动终端相配对, 从而实现一种 被称作协作空间复用的虛拟 MIMO技术。其中, 所述两个移动终端在相 同的时频资源上与同一个基站进行通信, 每个移动终端仅发送自己的业 务数据, 但每个移动终端使用正交的两个导频图案中的一个来发送自己 的导频数据, 从而使基站能够准确地估计来自所述两个移动终端的两个 上行信道, 进而利用空间复用解码器如最小均方误差 (MMSE )解码器 或最大似然解码器恢复出所述两个移动终端相应的上行业务数据。
移动 WiMAX系统配置 1.0版本的协议内容详见 WiMAX Forum™ Mobile System Profile Release 1.0 Approved Specification (Revision 1.4.0: 2007-05-02)。 使用至少一个多天线移动终端所实现的虛拟 MIMO
在基于 IEEE 802.16e标准的移动 WiMAX 系统配置 1.5版本的协议 中以及正在开发的 IEEE 802.16m标准的规范中, 一个移动终端配置多 根发射天线已成为可能, 虽然其天线间距暂时还无法达到理想状态的种 种要求。
使用至少一个多天线移动终端所实现的虛拟 MIMO 有以下三种形 式, 不失一般性地令每个移动终端均具有两根发射天线, 且两个移动终 端配对来实现虛拟 MIMO:
(一)每个移动终端都工作在单入多出 (SIMO )模式下, 或者每 个移动终端都在其两根发射天线上发送相同的数据, 或者一个移动终端 工作在 SIMO模式而另一个移动终端在其两个发射天线上发送相同的数 据。
优点: 仅需使用两个正交的导频图案。
缺点: 多发射天线的空间分集增益没有得到充分利用, 并且当其中 一个移动终端仅使用一根发射天线时, 静默天线的功率增益将被浪费, 平均到每个子载波上的发射功率不高。
(二)一个移动终端工作在 SIMO模式下或者在其两个发射天线上 发送相同的数据, 另一个移动终端工作在 MIMO模式下,如空时发射分 集 (STTD)或空间复用 (SM )。
优点:工作在 MIMO模式下的移动终端充分利用了其多发射天线的 空间分集增益和功率增益。 并且, 如果采用 STTD等空时编码方案, 则 可以提高系统的鲁棒性; 而如果采用 SM实现在一个移动终端的两根天 线上发送两个相互独立的数据流, 则可以提高系统的数据吞吐量。
缺点: 工作在 SIMO模式或者在其两个发射天线上发送相同数据的 所述移动终端没有充分利用其多天线的空间分集增益与 /或功率增益。由 于使用 STTD或 SM的移动终端的两根发射天线需要使用相互正交的导 频图案, 两个移动终端因此需要三个正交的导频图案, 导频信号占用了 更多的资源即子载波 +时隙。 要基于三个正交的导频图案中的导频信号 进行信道估计和相应的业务数据解码, 接收机相比于移动 WiMAX的系 统配置 1.0版本的协议更为复杂。
(三) 两个移动终端均工作在 MIMO模式下, 如 STTD或 SM。 优点: 两个移动终端均能充分利用其发射天线, 实现较高的功率增 益和分集增益。
缺点: 使用 4个相互正交的导频图案, 导频信号占用的资源较多, 要基于 4个正交的导频图案中的导频信号进行信道估计和相应的业务数 据解码, 接收机相比于移动 WiMAX的系统配置 1.0版本的协议更为复 杂。
目前, WiMAX和 IEEE802.16m标准化组织正在针对上述的 (二) 和 (三)进行讨论。 对于 (一) 中所述的情形, 其具体有以下四种实现 方式:
1. 基础 VMIMO 每个移动终端均固定使用一根发射天线进行上行信号的传输, 属于 开环方案且基站无需向移动终端发送任何有关发射天线设置的指示信 自
2. 由空间无编码传输分集(SUTD )辅助的 VMIMO
每个移动终端的两根发射天线上发送完全相同的上行信号, 这同样 属于开环方案且基站无需向移动终端发送任何有关发射天线设置的指 示信息。
3. 由时域切换传输分集 (TSTD )辅助的 VMIMO
每个移动终端在时间维度上交替使用其配置的两根发射天线,例如, 一个移动终端使用第一根发射天线发送奇数帧使用第二根发射天线发 送偶数帧, 而另一个移动终端使用第一根发射天线发送偶数帧使用第二 根发射天线发送奇数帧, 如图 1所示。 由于帧是在时域上相互连续的传 输单元, 因此,在每个帧长之内, 一个移动终端只会使用一根发射天线。 该方案也是开环的。
4.类似于方式 3 , 只不过其中的移动终端对天线的选择并非简单地 周期性轮换, 而是从中选择信号质量较好的一根, 因此属于一种闭环方 案。 具体天线的选择可以基于来自基站的用于指示上行信号质量的信息 或者基于时分双工模式下的信道互惠 ( Channel Reciprocity ) 来进行。
情形 (一) 的前三种实现方式都无法实现多发射天线的分集增益, 下文中还将结合仿真图进一步说明这一缺陷。 此外, 除实现方式 2外, 其它方式下的移动终端将其一根发射天线静默, 导致功率增益受损。 发明内容

图 2给出了根据本发明的一个具体实施方式的发射机物理层简图, 由于本发明主要讨论上行信号传输, 因此该发射机主要位于接入网络中 需要以无线方式发送上行信号的各种网络设备中, 如移动终端、 中继站 等。 当然, 随着无线传输技术的发展, 如果基站今后也需要发送上行无 线信号, 则图示的发射机也可以用在基站之中。 下文中, 不失一般性地 以移动终端和基站之间的上行通信为例来介绍本发明。
本领域技术人员理解, 图 2 中为简明起见略去了正交频分复用 ( OFDM )发射机中应该包含的一些模块, 如插入循环前缀(CP ) 的模 块等, 并且, 本领域技术人员还理解, 由于这些模块与下文中将描述的 本发明的技术方案并无实质联系, 因此这样的省略不会影响本发明的可 实现性。 并且, 虽然下文中以 OFDM为例, 但是本发明的保护范围以随 附的权利要求书为准, 其技术方案可以应用于各种基于多载波的无线通 信系统。
本发明的核心思想之一在于具有多根发射天线的移动终端的至少 两根发射天线所使用的子载波集合不同但共享一个导频图案, 为此, 模块 U所实现的功能包括将导频符号和经 QAM调制得到的数据符号映射至多个 子载波, 而这些子载波与发射天线之间的对应关系完全可以在上述的子载 波调制过程之前即已确定,或者在上述的子载波调制结束之后再即时确定。 下文中不失一^:性地以先行确定子载波与发射天线之间的对应关系的情形 为例。
参看图 3a并结合图 3b, 图 3a示出了两个移动终端 21和 22, 移动终端 21 具有两根发射天线 TX— 21a和 TX— 21b并使用第一种导频图案, 移动终端 22 具有两根发射天线 TX— 22a和 TX— 22b并使用第二种导频图案。 以移动终端 21—侧为例, 相邻的六个传输单元( Resource Unit )被分别对应至 TX_21a 和 TX—21b,具体的对应关系为 RU1、 RU3和 RU5对应于 TX— 21a, RU2、 RU4 和 RU6对应于 TX— 21b。 由图 3b可以看出, 一个传输单元是由多个子载波和 多个 OFDM符号所形成的一个资源块。 对于 OFDM系统的上行链路而言, 一个传输单元通常是信道估计的最小单元, 因此图 3a示出了其一个优选的 实施方式。
本领域技术人员理解, 图 3a中为简明起见仅示出了 24个子载波, 虽然 这远少于实际 OFDM系统中的子载波数如 1024等, 但是这并不影响对本发 明实质内容完整而清楚地说明。基于上述陈述, 图中所示的由 3个 OFDM符 号、 24个子载波所形成的结构可以看作一个 OFDM帧, 其中每一行可以看 作一个 OFDM符号。
本领域技术人员还理解, 图 3a仅示出了本发明的一个十分具体的实施 例, 事实上, 各个传输单元与发射天线之间的对应关系可以十分灵活地变 化, 如, 可以在 TX__21a上发送 RU1-RU3 , 并在 TX— 21b上发送 RU4-RU6; 或者在 TX— 21a上发送 RU1、 RU2、 RU5、 RU6, 并在 TX— 211>上发送1 1;3、 RU4。 总之, 一个移动终端的一根发射天线使用该移动终端所能够使用的 子载波的一部分来进行信号传输。
图 4示出了根据本发明的一个优选实施例的方法流程图, 前已述及, 其中的步骤间的顺序关系仅对应于本发明的一个非限定性实施例, 尤其是 其中的步骤 S212和 S213 , 本发明对其间的先后顺序没有要求。
根据此优选实施例, 在步骤 S211中, 移动终端获得根据信道质量信息 所确定的子载波与多根发射天线的对应关系。 步骤 S211可以通过一些子步 骤来实现。 例如, 在时分双工模式(TDD )下, 由于接收和发送同频不同 时, 在信道相关时间内接收信道质量和发送信道质量是一致的, 因而移动 终端 21可以根据其各个 RU上接收到的下行信道质量相关信息来获得基站 接收到的移动终端 21利用各个 RU发出的上行信号的质量相关信息,并由此 确定其子载波与多根发射天线之间的对应关系。 例如, 基站可以将之前接 收到的来自移动终端 21的各个 RU上的上行信号质量相关信息指示给移动 终端 21 , 进而移动终端 21根据从基站接收到的所述指示信息来确定其子载 波与多根发射天线之间的对应关系。 例如, 如果之前移动终端 21使用如图 3a所示的发射天线与子载波的对应关系, 且来自基站的上行信号质量相关 信息指示经由 TX_21a发出的信号的质量相比于 TX— 21b高出几个 dB, 则移 动终端 21将调整多个子载波在这两才艮发射天线上的分布, 例如, 将图 3a所 示的 1 : 1 (两根天线平分总的子载波)比例调整为 2: 1甚至更高。 可选地, 移动终端也可以预存多个指示子载波与发射天线之间的不同对应关系的信 息, 并根据上行信号质量相关信息来从中适当地选择。
根据上述情形的一个变形 ,基站可以代替移动终端 21来确定在今后一 段时间内子载波与发射天线 TX— 21a和 TX— 21b之间的对应关系, 这样, 基 站发给移动终端 21的信息就是具体的各个子载波与相应发射天线之间的对 应关系; 或者是各个天线上可以使用的子载波的个数, 具体哪个天线使用 哪些子载波则可以由移动终端 21自行确定。
本例中, 由此可以看出, 图 4所示的步骤 S211与其后续步骤的执行周 期是存在差别的, 如果上行数据较多, 则步骤 S212和 S213实际上是在不断 地进行的, 而步骤 S211则优选地以一个确定的周期来执行, 本领域技术人 员理解, 该周期如果过长, 则可能导致系统对信道的突发性变劣等无法及 时响应, 而导致大量数据在信道条件极差的天线上发送而使得基站无法正 确接收, 同样, 该周期如果过短, 则对移动终端的处理能力要求较高, 由 于其优选地需基于基站发来的上行信号质量相关信息来进行, 因此可能会 导致反馈的增加。
本领域技术人员理解,各个子载波与发射天线之间的对应关系可以是 静态配置的,例如,第 0-5号、第 12-第 17号子载波可以静态地对应于 TX— 21a, 第 6-11号、 第 18-23号子载波可以静态地对应于 TX—21b。 如此, 步骤 S211 将是可省的。 此外, 移动终端 21也可以预存多个指示子载波与发射天线之 间的不同对应关系的信息, 并周期性地变换所使用的对应关系, 此时, 步 骤 S211同样是可省的。
在步骤 S212中, 经过 QAM调制后得到的数据符号, 以及导频符 号产生装置所产生的导频符号, 一起经子载波调制, 从而得到经子载波 调制的多路调制符号。 其中, 被某一个子载波调制的数据符号或导频符 号由于相庄子载波对应于某一个具体的发射天线, 因此即被排入相应发 射天线的队列之中。 由此, 便形成了两路经子载波调制的调制符号。
在步驟 S213中,在步骤 S212中得到的两路经子载波调制的调制符 号经由相应的发射天线发往基站。
如图 3a所示, 刨除空闲子载波, 每个 RU可以携带 10个数据符号 或导频符号, 并且, 在上述实施例中, 图示的六个 RU所携带的数据符 号各不相同。 根据该实施例的一个变化例, 其中, 其数据率为上例的一 半, 也即, RU1与 RU2, RU3与 RU4, RU5与 RU6所携带的数据符号 分别相同, 剩余的一般数据符号则暂时緩存, 留待此后发送。 如此, 同 一数据符号在移动终端 21的两根发射天线上发送, 且所用子载波不同, 可以引入额外的频率分集, 当然, 其代价是数据率的下降。
移动终端 22中的流程与移动终端 21处同理, 不再赘述。 但是, 优 选地, 移动终端 21所使用的第一种导频图案与移动终端 22所使用的第 二种导频图案不同。 更优选地, 第一种导频图案与第二种导频图案相互 正交。
本发明中, 优选地, 各个发射天线使用满功率发送, 这样, 相比于 例如图 1所示的现有技术, 本发明平均到每个子载波上的天线发射功率 均更高, 从而发射功率增益的优势明显。 根据本发明的一个不同实施例, 在设备尺寸等条件允许的情况下, 移动终端可以有多于 2根的发射天线, 例如, 4根甚至 8根。 此时, 本 发明的实现方式可以更为灵活,例如,令一个 OFDM符号包含 8个 RU, 而移动终端有 4根发射天线, 则可由第一根发射天线发送第 1、 第 5个 RU, 第二根发射天线发送第 2、 第 6个 RU, 第三根发射天线发送第 3、 第 7个 RU, 第四根发射天线发送第 4、 第 8个 RU, 基站为该移动终端 分配的导频图案可以只有一个。 可选地, 可由第一、 第二根发射天线发 送第 1、 3、 5、 7个 RU, 第三、 第四根发射天线发送第 2、 4、、 6、 8个 RU, 基站可为该移动终端分配一个导频图案或者多个正交的导频图案, 例如, 由第一、 第三根发射天线共享一个导频图案, 而第二、 第四根发 射天线共享另一个导频图案。 这两个例子的其它等同替换或明显变形也 同样可以实现相似的技术效果, 不再赘述。 在基站为同一移动终端分配多个导频图案的实施例中, 为实现信道 估计, 基站分配给不同移动终端的导频图案仍是不同的, 根据预先知晓 的各个导频图案, 基站可以从多个移动终端发来的上行信号中分别解析 出用不同导频图案所发的导频信号, 从而对各个上行信道进行信道估 计, 以便更准确地对后续的上行信号进行解析。 基本上, 本发明的引入 对于基站等上行对端设备的接收机没有影响, 使用现有的基于 ML 或 MMSE的接收机即可实现对本发明下所发出的上行信号的接收和解析。 以上从方法的角度对本发明进行了详述, 下面再从装置角度进行介 绍。 图 5为根据本发明的一个具体实施例的在基于多载波的无线接入网 络的网络设备中用于向接入设备侧发送上行数据的第一发送装置框图。 图 6为根据本发明的一个具体实施例的在在无线接入网络的网络设备的 上行对端设备中的信道估计装置框图。
图示的第一发送装置 211 包括: 第二发送装置 2111、 第一获得装置 2112。所述第一获得装置 2112包括第二获得装置 21121和确定装置 21122。 图示的信道估计装置 111 包括导频解析装置 1111和处理装置 1112。 以下 的描述将参照图 5、 图 6并结合图 3a、 图 3b来展开。 第一发送装置 211— 般布置于如图 3a所示的移动终端 21、 22中, 信道估计装置 111一般布置 于基站等上行对端设备中。以移动终端 21与其所属基站之间的上行通信为 例:
根据本发明的一个优选实施例, 移动终端 21处的第一获得装置 2112 获得才 据信道质量信息所确定的子载波与多才艮发射天线的对应关系, 具体 可由其中的两个子装置来配合实现。 具体地如, 在时分双工模式(TDD ) 下, 由于接收和发送同频不同时, 在信道相关时间内接收信道质量和发送 信道质量是一致的, 因而第二获得装置 21121可以根据其各个 RU上接收到 的下行信号质量相关信息,来获得基站接收到的移动终端 21利用各个 RU发 出的上行信号的质量相关信息,由此确定装置 21122来确定子载波与多根发 射天线之间的对应关系。 具体地如, 基站可以将之前接收到的来自移动终 端 21的各个 RU上的上行信号质量相关信息指示给第二获得装置 21121 , 进 而确定装置 21122根据第二获得装置 21121获取的所述指示信息来确定子载 波与多根发射天线之间的对应关系。 具体地如, 如果之前移动终端 21的第 二发送装置 2111使用如图 3a所示的发射天线与子载波的对应关系, 且来自 基站的上行信号质量相关信息指示经由 TX—21 a发出的信号的质量相比于 TX— 21b高出几个 dB, 则移动终端 21处的确定装置 21122将调整多个子载波 在这两根发射天线上的分布, 例如, 将图 3a所示的 1 : 1 (两根天线平分总 的子载波) 比例调整为 2: 1甚至更高。 可选地, 移动终端也可以预存多个 指示子载波与发射天线之间的不同对应关系的信息 , 并根据上行信号质量 相关信息来从中适当地选择。
根据上述情形的一个变形,基站可以代替移动终端 21来确定在今后一 段时间内子载波与发射天线 TX— 21a和 TX— 21b之间的对应关系, 这样, 基 站发给移动终端 21的信息就是具体的各个子载波与相应发射天线之间的对 应关系; 或者是各个天线上可以使用的子载波的个数, 具体哪个天线使用 哪些子载波则由可以移动终端 21的确定装置 21122自行确定。 本例中, 由此可以看出, 第一获得装置 2112与第二发送装置 2111的工 作周期是存在差别的, 如果上行数据较多, 则第二发送装置 2111实际上是 在不断地进行的, 而第一获得装置 2112则优选地每隔一个确定的周期才执 行一次操作, 本领域技术人员理解, 该周期如果过长, 则可能导致系统对 信道的突发性变劣等无法及时响应, 而导致大量数据在信道条件极差的天 线上发送而使得基站无法正确接收, 同样, 该周期如果过短, 则对移动终 端的处理能力要求较高, 由于其优选地需基于基站发来的上行信号质量相 关信息来进行, 因此可能会导致反馈的增加。 当然, 第一获得装置 2112也 可以不等待一个周期结束, 而直接在必要时进行子载波与天线之间对应关 系的再次确定。
本领域技术人员理解,各个子载波与发射天线之间的对应关系可以是 静态配置的,例如,第 0-5号、第 12-第 17号子载波可以静态地对应于 TX—21a, 第 6-11号、 第 18-23号子载波可以静态地对应于 TX— 21b。 如此, 第一获得装 置 2112将是可省的。 此外, 移动终端 21也可以预存多个指示子载波与发射 天线之间的不同对应关系的信息, 并周期性地变换所使用的对应关系, 此 时, 第一获得装置 2112同样是可省的。
经过 Q AM调制后得到的数据符号, 以及导频符号产生装置所产生 的导频符号, 一起经子载波调制, 从而得到经子载波调制的多路调制符 号。 其中, 被某一个子载波调制的数据符号或导频符号由于相应子载波 对应于某一个具体的发射天线, 因此即被排入相应发射天线的队列之 中。 由此, 便形成了两路经子载波调制的调制符号。 本领域技术人员理 解, 上述的子载波调制工作可以由第二发送装置 2111 完成, 也可由一 个其它装置来完成。
第二发送装置 2111 将上述两路经子载波调制的调制符号经由相应 的发射天线发往基站。
如图 3a所示, 刨除空闲子载波, 每个 RU可以携带 10个数据符号 或导频符号, 并且, 在上述实施例中, 图示的六个 RU所携带的数据符 号各不相同。 根据该实施例的一个变化例, 其中, 其数据率为上例的一 半, 也即, RU1与 RU2, RU3与 RU4, RU5与 RU6所携带的数据符号 分别相同, 剩余的一般数据符号则暂时緩存, 留待此后发送。 如此, 同 一数据符号在移动终端 21的两根发射天线上发送, 且所用子载波不同, 可以引入额外的频率分集, 当然, 其代价是数据率的一定程度的下降。
移动终端 22中的过程与移动终端 21处同理, 不再赘述。 但是, 优 选地, 移动终端 21所使用的第一种导频图案与移动终端 22所使用的第 二种导频图案不同。 更优选地, 第一种导频图案与第二种导频图案相互 正交。
本发明中, 优选地, 各个发射天线使用满功率发送, 这样, 相比于 例如图 1所示的现有技术, 本发明平均到每个子载波上的天线发射功率 均更高, 从而发射功率增益的优势明显。 根据本发明的一个不同实施例, 在设备尺寸等条件允许的情况下, 移动终端可以有多于 2根的发射天线, 例如, 4根甚至 8根。 此时, 本 发明的实现方式可以更为灵活,例如,令一个 OFDM符号包含 8个 RU, 而移动终端有 4根发射天线, 则可由第一根发射天线发送第 1、 第 5个 RU, 第二根发射天线发送第 2、 第 6个 RU, 第三根发射天线发送第 3、 第 7个 RU, 第四根发射天线发送第 4、 第 8个 RU, 基站为该移动终端 分配的导频图案可以只有一个。 可选地, 可由第一、 第二根发射天线发 送第 1、 3、 5、 7个 RU, 第三、 第四根发射天线发送第 2、 4、、 6、 8个 U, 基站可为该移动终端分配一个导频图案或者多个正交的导频图案, 例如, 由第一、 第三根发射天线共享一个导频图案, 而第二、 第四根发 射天线共享另一个导频图案。 这两个例子的其它等同替换或明显变形也 同样可以实现相似的技术效果, 不再赘述。 在基站为同一移动终端分配多个导频图案的实施例中, 为实现信道 估计, 基站分配给不同移动终端的导频图案仍是不同的, 根据预先知晓 的各个导频图案, 基站处的导频解析装置 1111 可以从多个移动终端发 来的上行信号中分别解析出用不同导频图案所发的导频信号, 从而再由 处理装置 1112对各个上行信道进行信道估计, 以便更准确地对后续的 上行信号进行解析。 基本上, 本发明的引入对于基站等上行对端设备的 接收机没有影响, 使用现有的基于 ML或 MMSE的接收机即可实现对 本发明下所发出的上行信号的接收和解析。
图 7a和图 7b示出了本发明与现有技术的仿真结果对比。 表 1中示 出了仿真的各种条件。 图 7a中比较了 4种 VMIMO技术, 其中基站有 2 根接收天线, 而图 7b则是在基站有 4根接收天线的条件下比较了这 4 种 VMIMO技术。 通过图 7a和 7b, 可以很清楚地看出, 本发明提供的 方案所实现的块差错概率 (BLER )相对于信号噪声比 (SNR ) 的曲线 最陡, 这说明, 相比于其他三种方案, 本发明实现了额外的分集增益。 在考虑发射天线功率增益的条件下, 本发明在图示分集增益的基础之 上, 相比于基础 VMIMO和基于 TSTD的 MIMO还可以提供额外 3dB 的增益。 表 1 : 仿真条件
