Description

Method and device for transmitting bandwidth information. The present application claims priority to Chinese patent application filed on January 18, 2012, the Chinese Patent Office, Application No. 201210016817.9, entitled "Method and Apparatus for Transmitting Bandwidth Information" The entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for transmitting bandwidth information. Background technique

In order to improve the throughput of the system or the transmission capacity of the signal, the industry has proposed Coordinated Multipoint Transmission/Reception (CoMP) technology. The system to which this technology is applied is called a CoMP system. CoMP technology refers to the collaboration between multiple transmission points that are geographically separated. Generally, multiple transmission points are base stations of different cells, or multiple mobile radio units (RRHs) controlled by the same cell base station. Through the cooperative transmission between multiple transmission points, the interference between different transmission points can be effectively reduced, and the throughput of users, especially the users at the edge of the area, is improved.

The downlink multi-point coordinated transmission technology scheme is mainly divided into two categories: cooperative scheduling/beam forming (CS/CB, cooperative scheduling/beam forming) and joint processing (Joint processing).

Co-scheduling is to avoid or reduce the interference between each other through the coordination of time, frequency and space resources between transmission points. The small interval interference is the main factor that restricts the performance of the cell edge UE. Therefore, cooperative scheduling can improve the performance of the cell edge UE by reducing the interference between cells. As shown in FIG. 1 , through coordinated scheduling of three transmission points, three UEs that may be mutually interfered are scheduled to mutually orthogonal resources (representing different resources by different lines), effectively avoiding transmission points. The interference between.

The cooperative beam formability schedules the shaping directions of multiple users in the coordinated cell, so that the beam directions of different cell users are orthogonal to each other, thereby reducing the mutual interference. Similar to single-user Multiple Users-Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) transmission, cooperative beamforming is mainly implemented by the interference suppression processing at the transmitting end. Therefore, in order to suppress the interference of the transmission of the user to other users, the downlink channel information of the coordinated cell needs to be obtained at the base station.

The joint processing scheme includes dynamic transmission point switching and joint transmission. In the dynamic transmission point switching, the base station can dynamically switch to the transmission point of the user to send a signal, so that the optimal transmission point is transmitted every time. In order to implement dynamic transmission point switching, the base station needs to obtain channel information of multiple selectable transmission points by using feedback channel information, or obtain channel information of an optimal transmission point. Multiple transmission points in the joint transmission scheme simultaneously send data to the UE to enhance the UE receive signal. As shown in FIG. 2, three transmission points transmit data to one UE on the same resource, and the UE simultaneously receives signals of multiple transmission points. On the one hand, the superposition of useful signals from multiple transmission points can improve the signal shield received by the UE, and on the other hand, reduce the interference received by the UE, thereby improving system performance. This scheme requires the UE to feed back channel information of multiple transmission points, and even transmit relative channel information between the points, thereby ensuring that multiple transmission points can jointly perform scheduling, precoding, and data transmission. This transmission mode can be extended to the multi-user joint transmission (MU-JT) mode, that is, the multiple transmission points simultaneously transmit data to multiple UEs on the same resource, and the orthogonal demodulation reference is adopted between the multiple UEs. The Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) guarantees demodulation performance.

For multi-point coordinated data transmission, when the dynamic transmission cell handover is performed, the downlink system bandwidth of the handover target cell may be different from the source cell, and the user equipment (User Equipment, UE) may not obtain the correct PDSCH transmission bandwidth after the handover, thereby failing to Normally demodulate data.

In order to provide sufficient information for the downlink CoMP, the base station needs to indicate different types of reference signals of the UE, and the UE performs some operations according to these reference signals to support the above different transmission modes. The different reference signal types are analyzed as follows:

Cell-specific Reference Signal (CRS): In order to support dynamic handover between different cells, the base station needs to indicate the CRS location information of the current PDSCH transmission cell, including the frequency domain shift, port, bandwidth, etc. of the CRS. The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is muted at the corresponding location to suppress the CRS interference to the PDSCH. At the same time, if the UE wants to use the CRS for demodulation, it is also necessary to know the CRS bandwidth used by the base station in the current PDSCH transmission cell to generate a CRS sequence of the correct length for channel estimation. The CRS sequence is generated by the following equation: „ _s (m) = -^(1 - 2 · c(2m)) + j-^{l- 2. c(2m + 1)), m = 0,1 . , 2NST ^DL - 1

V2, the largest resource block in the downlink

3⁄4 rmax, DL

^7Vrb is directly obtained from the system bandwidth of the cell in which the CRS is located, and the obtained method is the prior art. (m) represents the CRS sequence on the resource determined by index 1 and slot n of the OFDM symbol.

DMRS: In the multi-user joint transmission mode, UEs performing resource multiplexing may come from different cells and configure different system bandwidths. If these UEs generate DMRS sequences according to their respective downlink bandwidths, the sequence lengths that may be generated are different, and orthogonal DMRSs cannot be obtained. The complete DMRS sequence of port 7-14 is generated by the following formula:

,

r{m, 1

) = , a 1- 2 - c(,2...m),) + / . - 1;= , a 1- 2 - c(,2m +, 1,), |O,l,...i2NTM ^ax ^'DL - 1 ^{normalcyclic refix}

1 m = \ ^

Ϊ [0,l,...i6N^ ^ax ' ^DL - l extended cyclic prefix

3⁄4 rmax, DL

^7Vrb is directly obtained by the DMRS corresponding to the downlink system bandwidth, and the obtained method is the prior art. Then, according to the PRB (physical resource block) occupied by the current PDSCH transmission, the DMRS sequence on the corresponding PRB is intercepted as the DMRS sequence of the UE. Non-zero power channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS): In order to measure channel information of multiple transmission points for CoMP, the base station needs to indicate multiple CSI-RS resources to the UE, which are respectively used for The CSI of different transmission points is measured, where the CSI-RS resource and the transmission point are corresponding to each other. If the transmission points belong to different cells, the bandwidth of the cells may be different, the UE cannot determine which bandwidth the CSI-RS sequence should be generated according to, and the UE may generate a CSI-RS that is inconsistent with the base station because the used bandwidth is inconsistent with the base station. The sequence that caused subsequent operations could not be achieved. The sequence is generated by the following equation: U _ns (m) = ^={\ - 2 - c(2m))+ j — 2 . c(2m + 1)), m = 0,1,..,N^ ^DL - 1

^7Vrb is directly obtained from the downlink system bandwidth of the cell where the CSI-RS is located, and the obtained method is the prior art.

Zero-power CSI-RS: For one UE, a transmission point (or cell) other than the transmission point (or cell) corresponding to the downlink channel that the UE needs to measure may also send a non-zero-power CSI-RS to the UE. These CSI-RSs are irritating to the UE. In some resource locations with large interferences, the base station will notify the UE of the zero-power CSI-RS, that is, the location of the corresponding CSI-RS is muting the PDSCH, and does not send the useful signal of the UE, so that the location can be avoided. False inspection. At these locations the UE can receive the signal of the victim cell and can therefore be used for the interference measurement. Since the zero-power CSI-RS is generally a non-zero-power CSI-RS for the UE, the method for generating the sequence of the non-zero-power CSI-RS for the interference region is described above.

In summary, in a CoMP system, involving multiple transmission points (or multiple cells), the system bandwidth of multiple cells may be different, and the UE cannot determine which system bandwidth should be used as the transmission bandwidth. Moreover, if the transmission bandwidth used by the base station and the UE is inconsistent, the UE cannot correctly demodulate the downlink data, and the generated reference signal sequence is incorrect.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the base station determines the transmission bandwidth for the downlink data or the reference signal that needs to be transmitted to the UE in the multiple cells that are coordinated by multiple points, and sends the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE, so that the UE obtains the exact target in the CoMP system. The transmission bandwidth of the downlink data or the reference signal is consistent with the base station to implement operations such as channel measurement, interference suppression, and data reception.

Referring to FIG. 3, the method for implementing bandwidth information transmission by the base station side in this embodiment is as follows:

Step 301: The base station determines a transmission bandwidth for the downlink data or the reference signal that the UE needs to know the bandwidth information in the multiple cells that are coordinated by the multiple points.

Generally, the base station uses the system bandwidth of the cell that transmits the corresponding downlink reference signal/downlink data (where the downlink reference signal/downlink data represents the downlink reference signal, or the downlink data, or the downlink reference signal and the downlink data) as the corresponding downlink reference signal/ The transmission bandwidth of the downlink data. If the downlink reference signal/downlink data is sent by multiple cells, a system bandwidth is selected from the system bandwidth configuration of the multiple cells according to the user scheduling condition as the transmission bandwidth of the corresponding downlink reference signal. For example, selecting a larger or smaller system bandwidth of multiple system bandwidths of multiple cells as the final determined transmission bandwidth; or selecting a system bandwidth with the largest number of cells of the same system bandwidth as the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the corresponding downlink data transmission. . As an example, for a multi-user joint transmission mode, a downlink DMRS may have multiple transmission cells, and a cell with the smallest system bandwidth may be selected from the system bandwidths of the multiple transmission areas as the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the corresponding downlink DMRS. Step 302: The base station sends the determined indication information of the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the corresponding downlink data or the reference signal to the UE.

Step 303 is continued for the reference signal, and step 304 is continued for the downlink data.

Step 303: The base station determines, according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal, a sequence of physical resources and reference signals to be occupied by the reference signal, and transmits a sequence of the reference signals on the physical resources.

Step 304: The base station determines the physical resource occupied by the downlink data according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the downlink data, and sends the indication information of the physical resource to the UE, and then transmits the downlink data on the physical resource.

The reference signal in this embodiment includes one or more of CRS, DMRS, CSI-RS with zero power, and CSI-RS with non-zero power.

Specifically, when the reference signal is a CRS, the base station needs the UE to learn the CRS of the bandwidth information in the multiple cells coordinated by the multi-point, and the step of determining the transmission bandwidth includes: the system bandwidth of the cell that the base station transmits the CRS that needs the UE to know the bandwidth information. Determine the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the CRS. For example, the CRS needs to be transmitted to the UE through three cells, and the UE needs to measure the CRS of the three cells. Then, the base station sends the system bandwidth of the three cells to the UE, and the UE measures the CRS corresponding to each cell in the corresponding transmission bandwidth of each cell.

Or, when the reference signal is a non-zero-power CSI-RS, the base station determines, for the multi-point coordinated multiple cells, the non-zero-power CSI-RS resource that needs the UE to learn the bandwidth information, and the determining the transmission bandwidth includes: The system bandwidth of the cell of the CSI-RS resource that requires the UE to learn the non-zero power of the bandwidth information is determined as the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the non-zero power CSI-RS resource. For example, the base station sends the system bandwidth of the three cells to the UE, and the UE generates a corresponding sequence for the non-zero-power CSI-RS resources corresponding to the cells according to the system bandwidth of each cell.

Or, when the reference signal is a CSI-RS with a power of zero, the base station determines, for the multi-homed multiple cells, the zero-power CSI-RS resource that the UE obtains the bandwidth information, and the determining the transmission bandwidth includes: The system bandwidth of the interference cell of the non-zero power CSI-RS resource corresponding to the zero-power CSI-RS resource of the bandwidth information determines the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the CSI-RS resource of zero power.

Or, when the reference signal is a DMRS, the base station needs the UE to learn the DMRS resource of the bandwidth information, and the step of determining the transmission bandwidth includes: performing, by the base station, the system bandwidth of the DMRS of the bandwidth information of the UE according to the transmission requirement. , Determine a transmission bandwidth for the DMRS.

The correspondence between the reference signal and the cell may be one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-one. If there are multiple cells corresponding to the reference signal that the UE needs to know the bandwidth information, the base station selects one system bandwidth from the system bandwidth configurations of the multiple cells to determine the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the reference signal. For example, if three cells use the same CRS, the base station selects one system bandwidth from the system bandwidths of the three cells to determine the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the reference signal.

The step of determining the transmission bandwidth by the base station for downlink data that needs to be transmitted to the UE in multiple cells coordinated by multiple points The base station transmits the system bandwidth of the downlink data to the UE according to the need, and determines a transmission bandwidth for the downlink data. If there are multiple cells that need to transmit downlink data to the UE, the base station selects one system bandwidth from the system bandwidth configurations of the multiple cells to determine the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the corresponding downlink data.

The base station can determine the corresponding transmission bandwidth for multiple reference signals at the same time, and send the signal to the UE through one or more signalings. When transmitting the transmission bandwidth of the multiple reference signals by one or more signaling, it is required to agree with the UE to obtain a transmission rule information corresponding to the required downlink reference signal, for example, by distinguishing by identification or by transmitting bandwidth. The indication information is distinguished at a specific position in the signaling, or the maximum or minimum bandwidth of the plurality of transmission bandwidths is used as the transmission bandwidth information corresponding to the target downlink reference signal.

The indication information of the transmission bandwidth in this embodiment has various forms, for example, the indication information of the bandwidth is the value of the bandwidth, or the indication information of the bandwidth is an index of the value of the corresponding bandwidth. Correspondingly, for different forms of indication information of the transmission bandwidth, the base station can send indication information of the transmission bandwidth to the UE in multiple manners.

Mode A1: When the indication information of the bandwidth is the value of the bandwidth, the step of the base station transmitting the indication information of the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE includes: sending, by the base station, the determined value of the transmission bandwidth to the UE by using the high layer signaling.

In the mode A2, the indication information of the transmission bandwidth is an index of the value of the transmission bandwidth. The step of the base station transmitting the indication information of the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE includes: sending, by the base station, the value of the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE by using the high layer signaling. index. When the method is used, the correspondence between the values of all possible system bandwidths and the indexes needs to be configured in the UE in advance.

In the mode A3, when the indication information of the bandwidth is an index of the value of the corresponding bandwidth, the base station needs the UE to learn the downlink data or the reference signal of the bandwidth information in the multiple cells coordinated by the multiple points, and before determining the transmission bandwidth, the method further includes the following steps: The signaling sends the corresponding relationship between the system bandwidth and the index of the multiple coordinated multi-cells to the UE; the step of the base station transmitting the determined indication information of the transmission bandwidth to the UE includes: determining, by the base station, the physical downlink control channel PDCCH signaling The index of the transmission bandwidth is sent to the UE.

After the base station and the UE use the same transmission bandwidth for the reference signal and the downlink data, the UE may perform operations such as channel measurement, interference suppression, and data reception. After the base station sends the indication information of the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE, For different applications, you can have at least one of the following:

Operation 1: For the reference signal, the base station determines the physical resource to be occupied by the reference signal according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal, and transmits the reference signal on the determined physical resource.

Operation 2: For the reference signal, the base station determines the physical resource to be occupied by the reference signal according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal, and generates a sequence of the reference signal according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal, and the physical resource to be occupied by the reference signal A sequence of transmitted reference signals is transmitted.

Specifically, the method B1: the base station obtains the corresponding downlink reference signal on the bandwidth according to the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink reference signal and other configuration information (such as port, time-frequency resource, and scrambling configuration) of the downlink reference signal. The physical resources and sequences occupied by the number. This method is mainly applicable to reference signals other than DMRS.

Method B2: The base station obtains the information according to the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink reference signal and the physical resources occupied by the downlink data transmission, and other configuration information (such as port, time-frequency resource, and scrambling configuration) of the downlink reference signal. The physical resources and sequences occupied by the corresponding downlink reference signals on the bandwidth. This method is mainly applicable to DMRS.

Operation 3: For the downlink data, the base station determines the physical resource to be occupied by the downlink data according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the downlink data, and sends the indication information of the physical resource to the UE, and sends the downlink data to the UE on the physical resource. Preferably, the base station notifies the UE of the determined physical resource information by using a resource indication field of a Downlink Control Indication (DSI).

Correspondingly, the UE needs to receive the indication information of the transmission bandwidth and apply it to multiple cells, as shown in the following embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 4, the method for transmitting bandwidth information by the UE in this embodiment is as follows:

Step 401: The UE receives the indication information of the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink data or the reference signal in the multiple cells that are coordinated by the base station and sent by the base station.

For at least different applications or requirements, you can at least perform one of the following steps.

Step 402: For downlink data, the UE determines the physical resource occupied by the downlink data according to the transmission bandwidth indicated by the indication information, and performs data detection on the determined physical resource.

Step 403: The UE determines, according to the transmission bandwidth indicated by the indication information, the physical resource occupied by the downlink data, and performs the suppression on the determined physical resource.

Step 404: The UE determines, according to the transmission bandwidth indicated by the indication information, a sequence of physical resources and reference signals occupied by the downlink reference signal, and performs channel estimation on the determined physical resources.

Moreover, the indication information of the transmission bandwidth has various forms, and the corresponding UE can obtain the indication information of the transmission bandwidth in multiple manners.

For the mode A1, when the indication information of the bandwidth is the value of the bandwidth, the step of the UE receiving the indication information of the transmission bandwidth sent by the base station includes: receiving, by the high layer signaling, the value of the transmission bandwidth sent by the base station by the UE.

For the mode A2, the indication information of the transmission bandwidth is an index of the value of the transmission bandwidth. The step of the UE receiving the indication information that the base station sends the determined transmission bandwidth to the UE includes: the UE receiving, by using the high layer signaling, the transmission sent by the base station to the UE. Index of the value of the bandwidth

For the mode A3, the indication information of the transmission bandwidth is an index of the value of the corresponding bandwidth; before receiving the indication information of the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink data or the reference signal in the multiple cells coordinated by the multi-point, the UE further includes the step The UE receives the value of the system bandwidth of the multiple coordinated multi-cells sent by the base station by using the high-level signaling; the UE receives the indication information of the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink data or the reference signal of the multiple cells coordinated by the base station and sent by the base station. The step includes: receiving, by the UE, an index of a value of a transmission bandwidth sent by the base station by using a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) signaling.

After the UE knows the transmission bandwidth, it can operate on the reference signal and the downlink data based on the transmission bandwidth in various applications.

For example, for operation 1, for the reference signal, the UE determines the physical resource to be occupied by the reference signal according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal. Preferably, the UE obtains the physical resources occupied by the downlink data according to the resource information indicated by the resource indication field in the DCI sent by the base station according to the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink data indicated by the indication information. Then, the UE performs interference suppression on the determined physical resources. Specifically, the UE performs a PDSCH muting operation on the physical resource location of the corresponding downlink reference signal on the corresponding transmission bandwidth. Alternatively, the UE receives the corresponding downlink reference signal according to the determined physical resource on the corresponding transmission bandwidth, and uses the corresponding downlink. The reference signal is used for the interference measurement operation.

For operation 2, for the reference signal, the UE generates a sequence of reference signals based on the transmission bandwidth determined for the reference signal. specific:

For the method Bl: the UE directly obtains the sequence of the corresponding downlink reference signal on the transmission bandwidth according to the transmission bandwidth information corresponding to the corresponding downlink reference signal, and the method is mainly applicable to the reference signal outside the DMRS.

For the method B2: the UE obtains the physical resource according to the corresponding transmission bandwidth information corresponding to the downlink reference signal and the physical resource occupied by the downlink reference signal, and other configuration information (such as a port, a scrambling configuration, and the like) of the downlink reference signal. The sequence of the corresponding downlink reference signal. The physical resource occupied by the corresponding downlink reference signal on the bandwidth is obtained according to the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the downlink reference signal indicated by the indication information and the data resource location indication information sent by the base station. This method is mainly applicable to DMRS.

For operation 3, for the downlink data, the UE determines the physical resource to be occupied by the downlink data according to the transmission bandwidth determined for the downlink data, and receives the downlink data on the determined physical resource.

Since different reference signals and downlink data have different processing and applications, the implementation process of transmission transmission bandwidth is described in detail below through several exemplary embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 5, the method for transmitting transmission bandwidth and interference suppression operation in the case of performing interference suppression for CRS in this embodiment is as follows:

Assuming that the system bandwidth of the serving cell of the UE is 5 M, and the cell currently transmitting the PDSCH to the UE is not the serving cell, but another cell with a transmission bandwidth of 10 M, the process of performing CRS related processing is as follows:

The base station informs the UE in advance of the CRS bandwidth information corresponding to different cells in the cooperation set by the high layer signaling. Corresponding index. The UE receives and saves the bandwidth information of the CRS corresponding to each cell in the cooperation set. The cooperative set refers to a set of coordinated transmission points that directly or indirectly participate in transmission to the UE.

Step 501: The base station determines, according to the CRS configuration information of the cell that currently transmits the PDSCH to the UE, the resource information of the CRS that needs to perform PDSCH muting, including the transmission bandwidth information of the CRS. For the above example, the system bandwidth of the cell that transmits the PDCSH to the UE is 10M, and the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the CRS of the cell is also 10M, so that the bandwidth information of the CRS that needs to perform PDSCH muting is also 10M.

Step 502: The base station indicates, by using the PDCCH signaling, an index of the cell where the CRS of the PDSCH muting is currently required to be in the coordinated set.

Step 503: After receiving the index information, the UE performs the CRS bandwidth information of the different cells in the coordinated set and the CRS bandwidth information of the different cells in the coordinated set according to the current need for the PDSCH muting, and obtains the bandwidth information corresponding to the CRS that needs to perform the PDSCH muting.

Step 504: The base station performs the bandwidth information of the CRS of the PDSCH muting according to the determined bandwidth information, and combines the CRS port, the cell ID, and other information to determine the physical resource occupied by the CRS and the sequence of the CRS, and determine the physical resource. Send a CRS sequence.

Step 505: The UE obtains the physical resources occupied by the CRS on the bandwidth according to the bandwidth information corresponding to the CRS, and the other information such as the port and the cell ID of the CRS.

Step 506: The UE performs PDSCH muting on the physical resource location occupied by the CRS on the corresponding transmission bandwidth, so as to avoid the interference of the CRS of the current PDSCH transmission cell to the PDSCH transmission.

Referring to FIG. 6, the method for transmitting the transmission bandwidth of the CRS and the method for measuring by using the CRS in the present embodiment is as follows: The base station informs the UE of the CRS bandwidth information corresponding to different cells in the cooperation set by the high layer signaling in advance. Step 601: The base station determines, according to the CRS configuration information of the cell that currently transmits the PDSCH to the UE or the cell that needs to be measured by the UE, the resource information of the CRS that needs to be used for demodulation or measurement, including the transmission bandwidth information of the CRS. If there is only one cell that currently transmits a PDSCH to the UE or a cell that needs to be measured by the UE, the system bandwidth of the cell is used as the transmission bandwidth corresponding to the corresponding CRS. If there are multiple cells currently requiring measurement by the UE, the bandwidth information of the CRS required for measurement should also include the system bandwidth information of the multiple cells, and each of the CRSs required for measurement needs to perform the following steps separately.

Step 602: The base station indicates, by using the PDCCH signaling, an index of the cell in which the CRS is currently required for demodulation or measurement in the cooperation set.

Step 603: After receiving the index information, the UE obtains the CRS transmission bandwidth information of different cells in the coordinated set and the CRS in the coordinated set according to the current required CRS for the demodulation or measurement, and obtains the current need for demodulation or measurement. The transmission bandwidth corresponding to the CRS. Step 604: The base station determines the physical resource occupied by the CRS and the sequence of the CRS according to the determined bandwidth information of the CRS required for demodulation or measurement, and the other information such as the port and the cell ID of the CRS, and determines the sequence.
