Description

Information transmission method and device

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to an information transmission method and apparatus. Background technique

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology divides a channel into orthogonal sub-channels, converts high-speed data signals into parallel low-speed sub-data streams, and modulates them for transmission on each sub-channel. The signal bandwidth on each subchannel is smaller than the associated bandwidth of the channel, so that each subchannel can be seen as flatness fading, thereby eliminating intersymbol interference. Moreover, since the bandwidth of each subchannel is only a small fraction of the original channel bandwidth, channel equalization becomes relatively easy. The OFDM symbol length, T_symbol, refers to the duration of each OFDM symbol from the perspective of the time domain. In practice, in order to eliminate the interference between symbols, a Cyclic Prefix (CP) is inserted between the symbols, that is, the transmitted data after the Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) passes through the parallel string. Transform, copy the symbol at the end of the last CP to the beginning of the OFDM symbol to eliminate intersymbol interference. At this time, the actual length of each OFDM symbol becomes T_symbol+T_cp, where T_cp is the CP length.

3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) and Enhanced LTE (LTE-Andanced, LTE-A) uplinks using single carrier frequency division multiple access (Single-carrier Frequency-Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA), a variant of OFDM, one subframe (subframe), including two slots (slots), a total of 14 OFDM symbols. The fourth OFDM symbol of the first slot and the second slot at the time of data transmission is a pilot symbol, and the rest are data symbols. When the uplink control signaling is transmitted, there is a frame structure in which the 3rd, 4th, and 5th OFDM symbols of the first time slot and the second time slot are pilot symbols, and the rest are OFDM symbols occupied by control signaling. The pilot symbol occupies the same frequency band as the data symbol (or control symbol) in the frequency domain, and selects a cyclic shift of a Zad off chu sequence according to the actual frequency bandwidth in the frequency domain; the data symbol of the control signaling in the time domain Multiply by the pilot symbol When i or the spreading code.

Data modulation is performed before the original data is transmitted. Digital modulation can be divided into digital amplitude modulation, digital phase modulation, and digital frequency modulation. The transmitted data is composed of symbols. The number of bits mapped by the modulation symbols is different depending on the modulation technique used. For example, Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation symbols are two bits. The 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modulation symbol is 4 bits.

The pilot or reference signal is a known sequence or modulation symbol inserted for channel estimation in system coherent detection. The receiving end can estimate the channel response of the time-frequency resource occupied by the pilot according to the received information on the time-frequency resource of the pilot and the known transmission information carried on the pilot signal, and then pass the time domain and/or the frequency domain difference. The value is obtained, and the channel response on the time-frequency resource occupied by the data symbol is obtained, so that the information transmitted by the transmitting end is obtained according to the received information.

The Internet of Things (M2M) was first proposed in 1999. Definition Comparison Single: Connect all items to the Internet through information sensing devices for intelligent identification and management. Combined with the Internet, they enable remote sensing and control of all items, resulting in a more intelligent production and living system. It is larger than the current Internet and is widely used in smart power grids, intelligent transportation, environmental protection, government work, public safety, smart home, intelligent fire protection, industrial monitoring, elderly care, and personal health.

The standardization organization 3GPP has set up a project team to study the enhancement and optimization of mobile communication networks for the introduction of Machine Type Communication (MTC) devices. Vodafone suggested that many M2M devices, such as electricity meters, may be placed in poorly covered areas such as basements. For these devices, coverage is required to be increased to a maximum of 20 dB to meet the requirements. Even if the user equipment always uses the maximum transmit power transmission sequence, the power received by the target base station still does not reach the target received power, even far below the target received power. In this case, a relatively straightforward method is that the user equipment transmits in multiple Time Transmission Interval (TTI) (in the 3GPP system, the subframe subframe), and the base station side collects and merges to improve. The purpose of receiving the signal to noise ratio. E.g: Time transmission unit number coverage enhancement

( #TTI ) ( dB )

1 0 (base of comparison)

twenty three

4 5

The number of repetitions, that is, the time transmission unit occupied, has a corresponding relationship with the corresponding coverage enhancement amount (dB) information, and the correspondence relationship can be pre-defined by mathematical calculation or simulation means. Due to the large difference in coverage of actual user equipment, not all user equipments that need to be covered with enhanced coverage require as much compensation as 20 dB. The actual situation is an interval that does not require coverage enhancement to 20 dB coverage enhancement. However, the number of time transmission units required for different coverage enhanced user equipments is different, and the time transmission units required to cover less enhanced user equipment are also less, because the required coverage enhancement compensation can be obtained in a shorter accumulation time. Therefore, user equipments that require different coverage enhancements can be grouped, so that user equipments with equal coverage and similar coverage need to be aggregated into a group, and a uniform number of repetitions is used. Thus, the range from the coverage enhancement of OdB to the coverage enhancement of 20 dB can be divided into several groups. For example [5dB, 10dB, 15dB, 20dB]. Of course, without distinction, the system can only provide a repeating value for coverage enhancement, such as 15dB or 20dB.

As described above, when the data of the user equipment requires repeated transmission of a certain number of time transmission units, the spectrum efficiency of the system is degraded. In order to improve the spectrum efficiency of the system, block spreading in the time domain is a commonly used method. For example, data packets repeatedly transmitted by different user equipments may occupy the same time and frequency resources, and are distinguished by different orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal spreading codes. The length of the spreading code is equal to the number of repetitions, and the same data packet is used each time. Repeatingly multiplying one element of the corresponding spreading code, so that data of different user equipments can be multiplexed on the same resource, thereby improving spectrum efficiency. After receiving the data in the frequency domain and multiplexing the multiple user equipments, the base station extracts data of different user equipments according to different spreading codes.

If the channel is time-varying, the orthogonality between the spreading codes of multiple user equipments is Destroyed, affecting the decoding of data packets of different user equipments by the base station. Moreover, for the coverage enhancement scenario, the required number of repetitions is also longer in time extension, and it is easier to exceed the channel correlation time, affecting the orthogonality of the spreading sequence, thereby affecting the correct reception and decoding of the base station, thereby causing performance loss. .

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of an information transmission method 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, The method 100 can be performed by a user equipment. As shown in FIG. 1, the method 100 includes:

S110: Perform time domain spreading on each of the n data modulation symbols of the data packet to be transmitted, and perform time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbol, where n is an integer greater than 1.

S120. The data modulation symbols and the spread pilot modulation symbols that are spread in the spread data n data modulation symbols are mapped and sent in the following manner:

Spreading the spread ith data modulation symbol and the spread pilot modulation symbol onto the i-th time-frequency transmission unit set and transmitting to the base station, where i is a positive integer and takes values from 1 to n, the i-th time The set of frequency transmission units includes N time-frequency transmission units, and N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Specifically, the user equipment can obtain the original information bit sequence (xl, x2...), and then obtain the n data modulation symbols by adding the CRC (crcl, crc2...) and channel coding modulation to the original bit sequence. (Ql, Q2, ... Qn); the user equipment may separately perform time domain spreading on each of the n data modulation symbols; the user equipment performs time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols; The user equipment may map and transmit each data modulation symbol and the spread pilot modulation symbol spread in the spread data n data modulation symbols in the following manner: the ith data modulation symbol to be spread and the spread spectrum The pilot modulation symbol is mapped to the i-th time-frequency transmission unit set and sent to the base station, where i is a positive integer and takes a value from 1 to n, and the ith time-frequency transmission unit set includes N time-frequency transmission units. , N is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by using a modulation symbol (a data modulation symbol or a pilot modulation symbol) as a basic unit for spreading, since the basic granularity of the spread spectrum becomes small, it is possible to avoid multiple repetitions of the block spread spectrum data packet exceeding the channel correlation. After the time, the signals between the receiving side user equipments are not orthogonal and the despreading performance is degraded. Moreover, since the granularity of the spread spectrum is small, the signal transmission time of the user equipment can be more flexibly coordinated, and multiplexing and signal transmission between the user equipments can be arranged.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the time-domain spreading of the pilot modulation symbols of the user equipment may be: when the data modulation symbols are spread, the pilot adjustment symbols are also spread, and the spread spectrum is used. Any of the data modulation symbols and the spread pilot modulation symbols are mapped onto a corresponding set of time-frequency transmission units and transmitted to the base station. The base station can obtain the soft demodulation symbol corresponding to the spread data modulation symbol according to the sequence corresponding to the any data modulation symbol carried on the time-frequency transmission unit and the sequence corresponding to the spread pilot modulation symbol. Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, when each data modulation symbol is spread, the pilot modulation symbols that are spread may be the same. It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may first spread a pilot modulation symbol, and perform spreading on each data modulation symbol in the n data modulation symbols, and spread any data. Modulation symbol And spreading the pilot modulation symbols onto the corresponding set of time-frequency transmission units of the data modulation symbols and transmitting to the base station. In this case, it is not necessary to spread the pilot modulation symbols when spreading the pilot modulation symbols.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may perform only time domain spreading on each data modulation symbol, and perform only time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols. At this time, the spreading code used for spreading the data modulation symbol and the pilot modulation symbol is a one-dimensional spreading code in the time domain.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may perform both time domain spreading and frequency domain spreading on each data modulation symbol, and performing both time domain spreading and frequency domain spreading on the pilot adjusting symbols. . At this time, the spreading code used for spreading the data modulation symbol and the pilot modulation symbol is time-frequency two-dimensional.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may use the OFDM symbol or the subframe as a basic spreading unit, and each of the n data modulation symbols of the data packet to be transmitted is separately time-domain spread. It should be understood that the subframe is also composed of OFDM symbols in the time domain, so it can also be reduced to OFDM symbol-level spreading. Therefore, we will mainly explain the OFDM symbol-level spreading as an example.

For example, if a data modulation symbol needs to occupy M OFDM symbols in the time domain, the data modulation symbol may be multiplied by an M-length time domain spreading code; the pilot modulation symbol needs to occupy m OFDM symbols in the time domain ( Alternatively, m ≤ M ), the pilot modulation symbol can be multiplied by an m-length time domain spreading code. The spread data modulation symbols and the spread pilot data modulation symbols can then be mapped onto corresponding OFDM symbols on the corresponding time-frequency transmission unit for transmission. Here, an time-frequency transmission unit can occupy (M + m) OFDM symbols in the time domain. The different user equipments of the code division multiplexing on the same time-frequency transmission unit may adopt the same length of M and in the embodiment of the present invention, when N is equal to 1, only one data modulation symbol needs to be performed once. Time domain spreading (ie, multiplying only the time domain spreading code), and performing a time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols (ie, multiplying only the time domain spreading code), the spreading of the above S120 The i data modulation symbols and the spread pilot modulated symbols are mapped to the i-th time-frequency transmission unit set and sent to the base station, and may include: a symbol included in the spread-th i-th data modulation symbol and a spread spectrum The symbols included in the pilot modulation symbols are mapped in a staggered manner onto the OFDM symbols included in the time-frequency transmission unit of the set of time-frequency transmission units.

Specifically, in the time domain, a time-frequency transmission unit is mapped with a spread spectrum data modulation symbol M data symbols and m pilot symbols mapped with spread pilot modulation symbols may be interleaved 歹 ij , such as first ^{/ /} ^ ^ data symbols, followed by a pilot symbol; or a data symbol and a pilot symbol ( For example, as shown in FIG. 2, M=m at this time, wherein the white blank portion may be a data symbol, and the shaded portion may be a pilot symbol; “ ^{M /2/} data symbol, “ ^{m /2} , a pilot symbol followed by L ^{M / 2/ 2} "data symbols, then " ^{Μ /2 / 2}数据 data symbols,

"m / ²导 pilot symbols followed by / ² / ² " data symbols.

Of course, the M data symbols and the m data symbols included in the above one time-frequency transmission unit may also be arranged in a non-interlaced manner, for example, M data symbols may be preceded, m pilot symbols may be followed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, performing time domain spreading on each of the n data modulation symbols of the data packet to be transmitted in S110, and performing time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols, may include: M long time domain spreading code, performing N time domain spreading for each data modulation symbol, and performing N time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbol by m long time domain spreading code, N is greater than or equal to 2 . It should be understood that the M long spreading code represents that the spreading code has M elements, and the m long spreading code represents that the spreading code has m elements.

And the spreaded ith data modulation symbol and the spread pilot modulation symbol are mapped to the i-th time-frequency transmission unit set and sent to the base station by: transmitting the i-th time domain spread ith Transmitting the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols of the hth time domain spread to the h th time frequency transmission unit in the i-th time-frequency transmission unit set, where the h is an integer and the value is 1 to N.

Specifically, the user equipment may perform N times time domain spreading on a certain data modulation symbol and N times time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols. That is, the user equipment can map the one data modulation symbol onto the OFDM OFDM symbols, and the spread pilot modulation symbols can be mapped onto N x m OFDM symbols, where N ≥ 1. At this time, N x M , N xm can be decomposed into N M and N m, {M, ..., M} {m,...m} respectively, that is, a spreading code of M length and m length is used. The data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols are separately spread and mapped N times.

For example, the OFDM symbols that need to be occupied by the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols of the user equipment 1 are 2M and 2m, respectively, and the data modulation symbols of the user equipment 2 and the OFDM symbols that need to be occupied after spreading the pilot modulation symbols are respectively It is M and m. For the data modulation symbol, since the data modulation symbol of the user equipment 1 needs to occupy 2M OFDM symbols in the time domain, it can be divided into two groups of M OFDM symbols, and two time lengths are required for performing time domain spreading. Spread spectrum Similarly, for the pilot modulation symbols, two sets of each of the OFDM symbols need to be occupied separately, and when the user equipment 1 performs time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols, the m-length spreading code can be used twice. . The length of the spreading code used by the user equipment 1 for spreading the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols, and the manner of each spreading is similar to that of the user equipment 2.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the length of the time domain spreading code used by different user equipments may also be a multiple relationship. Then, the above M and m may be the minimum spreading code length, corresponding to a time-frequency transmission unit. The minimum time-frequency transmission units occupied by different user equipments may be equal in size. In this case, the length of the spreading code corresponding to one data modulation symbol of the user equipment may be Ν χ , and the length of the spreading code corresponding to the pilot modulation symbol may be ^{N xm} , that is, the user equipment may expand once. One data modulation symbol of the frequency and the pilot-modulated symbol of the first spreading are mapped to N time-frequency transmission units, where N≥l.

Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the time-frequency transmission unit set includes multiple time-frequency transmission units, the M data symbols and the m data symbols included in any one of the time-frequency transmission units may be arranged in an interlaced manner, for example, first ^{/ ?} ^ data symbols, followed by a pilot symbol; or a data symbol a pilot symbol (for example, as shown in Figure 2, then M = m, where the white blank portion can be displayed as a data symbol, slash The shaded part can show the pilot symbol); ΓΜ/2/2] data symbols, " ^{m/ 2} , a pilot symbol followed by L ^M/2/2 " data symbols, then " ^Μ/2/2 One data symbol, " ^m/2 , one pilot symbol followed by L ^M/2/2 " data symbols. Of course, the M data symbols and the m data symbols included in any one of the time-frequency transmission units may also be arranged in a non-interlaced manner, for example, M data symbols may be preceded, m pilot symbols may be followed, and so on.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may perform only time domain spreading on the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols. In this case, one time-frequency transmission unit may occupy only one sub-carrier in the frequency domain. The user equipment can frequency-multiplex multiple data modulation symbols in the frequency domain. For example, one data modulation symbol occupies one subcarrier, and since one resource block (RB) has 12 subcarriers, 12 data modulation symbols can be frequency division multiplexed. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, a user equipment may also occupy only a part of subcarriers in the frequency domain. For example, 12 data modulation symbols multiplexed on one RB may be from 1 to 12 user equipments, that is, each user equipment occupies one subcarrier to transmit one data modulation symbol respectively; for example, one RB is multiplexed with the first one. 1 data modulation symbol of the user equipment, 3 data modulation symbols of the second user equipment, 5 data modulation symbols of the third user equipment, 3 data modulation symbols of the fourth user equipment, and the like. How to implement frequency division multiplexing according to the requirements of system demodulation performance, channel fading of user equipment and system The delay requirements and other factors are determined.

In the embodiment of the present invention, before the data transmission symbol and the spread pilot modulation symbol that are spread in the spread data n data modulation symbols are mapped and transmitted in the following manner, the method 100 may further include: Each of the data modulation symbols is frequency domain spread, and the pilot modulation symbols are frequency domain spread.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the user equipment may perform frequency domain spreading on the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols, that is, performing time domain spreading. At this time, one time-frequency transmission unit may occupy multiple sub-carriers in the frequency domain. That is to say, data modulation symbols of a plurality of user equipments can be code-multiplexed on a plurality of subcarriers. For example, a user equipment can multiply a data modulation symbol by a shift of the zad off chu sequence to occupy one RB, wherein different user equipments use different sequence shifts to occupy the one RB. At this time, for the pilot modulation symbols, the user equipment can also transmit by one shift of the zad off chu sequence, wherein different user equipments use different sequence shifts.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of data modulation symbols transmitted in the frequency domain can be freely combined according to the requirements of the system demodulation performance, the channel fading condition of the user, the delay requirement of the system, and the like, and the included in the time domain transmission unit. The number of OFDM symbols. At this time, the spread data modulation symbols and the spread pilot modulation symbols occupy the same bandwidth, that is, occupy the same subcarrier.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the method 100 is performed after performing time domain spreading on each of the n data modulation symbols of the data packet to be transmitted, and performing time domain spreading on the pilot modulation symbols. It can also include:

Receiving indication information sent by the base station, where the indication information is used to indicate information of a spreading code used when the data is modulated by the spread spectrum data, and information of a spreading code used when the pilot modulation symbol is used, and a data spreading symbol of the mapping spread spectrum And information of the time-frequency transmission unit of the pilot modulation symbol. The information of the spreading code may include a length and a serial number of the spreading code.

That is, the spreading code used by the user equipment to spread the data modulation symbols and the pilot modulation symbols and the mapped time-frequency transmission unit may be notified in advance by the base station, where the base station may send the code channel information to the user equipment ( Specifically, it can be represented by a spreading code number. According to the code channel information, the user equipment can acquire the time domain spreading code and the frequency domain spreading code. Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention, the information of the spreading code and the information of the time-frequency transmission unit may also be predefined.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by using a modulation symbol (a data modulation symbol or a pilot modulation symbol) as a basic unit for spreading, since the basic granularity of the spread spectrum becomes small, it is possible to avoid multiple repetitions of the block spread spectrum data packet exceeding the channel correlation. The signal between the receiving side users after the time is not orthogonal and thus despreading Can drop. Moreover, since the granularity of the spread spectrum is small, the signal transmission time of the user equipment can be more flexibly coordinated, and multiplexing and signal transmission between the user equipments can be arranged.

The information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described above from the user equipment side, and an information transmission method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below from the base station side.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an information transmission method 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Alternatively, the method 200 can be performed by a base station. As shown in FIG. 3, the method 200 includes:

S210: Receive a signal on a set of n time-frequency transmission units corresponding to the user equipment, where each time-frequency transmission unit set in the set of n time-frequency transmission units is mapped with a spread spectrum data modulation symbol and Spreading pilot adjustment symbols: spreading in the n data modulation symbols mapped to the N time-frequency transmission units included in the ith time-frequency transmission unit set included in the set of n time-frequency transmission units The i-th data modulation symbol and the pilot-modulated symbol mapped to the spread, the n being an integer greater than 1, the i being an integer and taking a value from 1 to n, wherein the N is an integer greater than or equal to 1;

S220. The time domain spreading code used by the spread spectrum of the n data modulation symbols and the time domain spreading code used by the spread pilot modulation symbols, and despreading and detecting the spread spectrum from the received signal. n soft demodulation symbols corresponding to n data modulation symbols;

S230: Decode and verify the n soft demodulation symbols.

Specifically, the base station may receive a signal from a set of time-frequency transmission units, wherein the one time-frequency transmission unit set may be code-multiplexed with a data modulation symbol and a spread pilot of each of the plurality of user equipments. The modulation symbol; then, the base station may despread a soft demodulation symbol of each user equipment from the received signal according to the time domain spreading code used by each user equipment. Repeating the above receiving and despreading operations, and after collecting all the n soft demodulation symbols of a data packet of a user equipment, decoding all n soft demodulation symbols of a data packet of the one user equipment and check.

Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, for a time-frequency transmission unit set, signals of a plurality of user equipments spread in units of modulation symbols may be code-multiplexed, and the base station bases each on the set of time-frequency transmission units. The spreading codes used by the user equipment are respectively despread, for example, the joint data symbol and the pilot symbol maximum likelihood detect the soft demodulation symbols of each of the plurality of user equipments. Since the basic granularity of the spread spectrum becomes smaller, from one data packet to one modulation symbol, the multiple repetition times of the block spread spectrum data packet can be avoided to exceed the channel correlation time, and the signals between the receiving side users are not orthogonal and thus the solution The problem of reduced performance. And, due to the small granularity of the spread spectrum, The signal transmission time of the user equipment can be more flexibly coordinated, and the multiplexing and signal transmission between the user equipments can be arranged.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the de-spreading detects the n soft demodulation symbols corresponding to the n data modulation symbols of the spread, and the method includes:

Obtaining, by acquiring, each of the first values of the N first values corresponding to each of the data modulation symbols spread by the spread of the n data modulation symbols, and acquiring the spread spectrum of the mapping on each time-frequency transmission unit set Each of the N second values corresponding to the pilot modulation symbol: an M long time domain spreading code used by the spread ith data modulation symbol, and the ith time frequency transmission And multiplying the sequence point corresponding to the i-th data modulation symbol of the h-th time-domain spread spectrum mapped on the h-th time-frequency transmission unit in the unit set to obtain the first value, and the ith time-frequency transmission unit a sequence of m-length time domain spreading codes used by the spread spectrum pilot modulation symbols mapped on the set, and a sequence corresponding to the pilot modulation symbols of the hth time domain spread spectrum mapped on the hth time-frequency transmission unit Multiplying a point to obtain a second value, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, h is an integer and takes a value from 1 to N, i is an integer and takes values from 1 to n;

N first values corresponding to each data modulation symbol spread in the n data modulation symbols of the spread spectrum, and N second corresponding to the spread pilot modulation symbols mapped on each time-frequency transmission unit set The value, despreading, detects each of the n soft demodulated symbols corresponding to the n data modulation symbols of the spread spectrum.

That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, demodulating the soft demodulation symbol from the received signal may detect the soft demodulation symbol for the joint data symbol and the pilot symbol in a maximum likelihood manner.

Specifically, if it is required to obtain a soft demodulation symbol corresponding to a certain data modulation symbol of a user equipment, the receiving side may separately store the locally stored spreading code corresponding to the data modulation symbol of the user equipment and the time-frequency transmission unit respectively. a sequence of data symbols carried by each of the time-frequency transmission units in the set (the data symbol of each time-frequency transmission unit is mapped with a data modulation symbol of at least one spread of each user equipment in the user equipment), multiplied by one or more a value (the number of the values is the number of time-frequency transmission units in the set of time-frequency transmission units); and locally storing the spreading codes corresponding to the pilot modulation symbols of the user equipment and the set of the time-frequency transmission units respectively A sequence of data symbols carried by each time-frequency transmission unit (the data symbol of each time-frequency transmission unit is mapped with a data modulation symbol of at least one spread spectrum of each user equipment in the user equipment) is multiplied to obtain one or more values (The number of values is the number of time-frequency transmission units in the set of time-frequency transmission units); add the values obtained above And then performing soft demodulation on the final value after the summation to obtain the time-frequency list A soft modulation symbol of the user equipment carried on the set of meta-elements.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the data packets of multiple uplink user equipments may be different in size or the same. Since the spread spectrum is modulation symbol level, and the smallest code division multiplexing unit is a time-frequency transmission unit, it is only required to ensure the spreading code code used by each user equipment of the code division multiplexing on one time-frequency transmission unit. Orthogonal. Specifically, for a time-frequency transmission unit, a spreading code corresponding to each data modulation symbol of each of the n data modulation symbols of a data packet of a user equipment may be a spreading code code corresponding to a data modulation symbol of another user equipment. The orthogonal coding, and the spreading code used when the one user equipment spreads the pilot modulation symbol is orthogonal to the spreading code code used when the other user equipment spreads the pilot modulation symbol.

In the embodiment of the present invention, each of the spread spectrum tracks of each time-frequency transmission unit can transmit at most one data modulation symbol. That is, one data modulation symbol of the user equipment can be transmitted through one or more time-frequency transmission units. The one time-frequency transmission unit may include M+m OFDM symbols in the time domain; the M OFDM symbols are data symbols, and the spreading codes corresponding to the data modulation symbols of different user equipments mapped on the orthogonal are orthogonal; m OFDM The symbols are pilot symbols on which the spreading codes corresponding to the pilot modulation symbols of different user equipments are orthogonal.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, there are six time-frequency transmission units. The data modulation symbol A1 of the UE1, the data modulation symbol B1 of the UE2, and the data modulation symbol C1 of the UE3 are code-multiplexed on the first time-frequency transmission unit, where the data modulation symbols A1, B1, and C1 are expanded. The frequency code is divided into orthogonal codes. The second time-frequency transmission unit is code-multiplexed with the data modulation symbol A2 of the UE1, the data modulation symbol B2 of the UE2, and the data modulation symbol C1 of the UE3, where the data modulation symbols A2, B2, and C1 correspond to the spreading code. Code division is orthogonal. The data modulation symbol A3 of UE1, the data modulation symbol B3 of UE2, and the data modulation symbol D1 of UE4 are code-multiplexed on the third time-frequency transmission unit, where the spreading codes corresponding to the data modulation symbols A3, B3 and D1 are used. Code division is orthogonal. The data modulation symbol A4 of the UE1, the data modulation symbol B4 of the UE2, and the data modulation symbol D2 of the UE4 are code-multiplexed on the fourth time-frequency transmission unit, wherein the data modulation symbols A4, B4, and D2 correspond to the spread spectrum. The code code is divided orthogonally. The data modulation symbol A5 of the UE1, the data modulation symbol B5 of the UE2, and the data modulation symbol D3 of the UE4 are code-multiplexed on the fifth time-frequency transmission unit, where the spreading code code corresponding to the data modulation symbols A5, B5 and D3 Sub-orthogonal. The data modulation symbol A6 of UE1, the data modulation symbol B56 of UE2, and the data modulation symbol D4 of UE4 are code-multiplexed on the sixth time-frequency transmission unit, where the spreading code codes corresponding to the data modulation symbols A6, B6 and D4 Sub-orthogonal. It should be noted that the first time-frequency transmission unit and the second time-frequency transmission unit are mapped with the same number of UE3s. According to the modulation symbol CI, it means that the data modulation symbol C1 has been subjected to at least two time domain spreading and the primary time domain spread data modulation symbols are mapped on a time-frequency transmission unit, wherein each time domain spread spectrum is used. The spreading codes can be the same or different.

It should be understood that although the above describes only how the data modulation symbols of multiple user equipments are mapped in the time-frequency transmission unit in conjunction with FIG. 4, each time-frequency transmission unit can simultaneously map the pilot modulation of the same number of user equipments. The symbol, the specific mapping method, and the orthogonality of the spreading code are similar, and are not described here.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the user equipment performs frequency domain spreading on the data modulation symbol and the pilot modulation symbol, the signal from the received signal in S220 is despread to detect the spread spectrum. The n soft demodulation symbols corresponding to the n data modulation symbols may include: a time domain spreading code used for the n data modulation symbols based on the spreading and the frequency domain spreading code used, and the spread pilot The time domain spreading code used by the modulation symbol and the used frequency domain spreading code are used to despread the n soft demodulation symbols from the received signal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of user equipments that can be code-multiplexed by one time-frequency transmission unit may be based on the number M of OFDM symbols of the transmission-spread data modulation symbols included in the time-frequency transmission unit, and the transmission spread spectrum. The number m of OFDM symbols of the pilot modulation symbols is determined. Specifically, the number of user equipments that can be code-multiplexed is min{M, m}, or the number of user equipments that can be code-multiplexed is less than min{M, m}.

For example, a time-frequency transmission unit for one subcarrier including 14 sub-carriers and 14 OFDM symbols (of which 7 OFDM symbols are used for transmitting spread spectrum modulation symbols and 7 OFDM symbols for transmitting spread pilot modulation symbols) In this case, the modulation symbols of the seven user equipments can be code-multiplexed, wherein each user equipment can be distinguished by the code channel in the time domain. The code channel configuration of the embodiment of the present invention may be that the time domain uses 7 long spreading codes for spreading, so 7 OFDM symbols are used as data symbols, and 7 are used as pilot symbols, and a total of 7 users can be multiplexed. Equipment; One RB in the frequency domain has 12 subcarriers, including 12 such time-frequency transmission units. Therefore, 1 RB, 14 OFDM symbols can be multiplexed with 84 user equipments (7 x 12).

In the embodiment of the present invention, before receiving the signal on the ith time-frequency transmission unit set of the user equipment of the S210, the method 200 may further include:

Allocating a time-frequency transmission unit to the user equipment, and determining information about a spreading code used by the user equipment in spreading the data modulation symbol and the pilot modulation symbol; the information of the spreading code may include a spreading code length and a sequence number Wait. And transmitting, to the user equipment, indication information, which is used to indicate the information of the spreading code used when the data is modulated by the spread spectrum data and the spreading code information used in the pilot modulation symbol, and the data modulation symbol and the extension of the mapping spread spectrum Time-frequency transmission unit of frequency pilot modulation symbols.

Specifically, the base station can allocate the time-frequency transmission unit and the used spreading code to each user equipment based on channel fading conditions, transmission power, or other interference factors of each user equipment.

Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, for a time-frequency transmission unit set, signals of a plurality of user equipments spread in units of modulation symbols may be code-multiplexed, and the base station bases each on the set of time-frequency transmission units. The spreading codes used by the user equipment are respectively despread, for example, the joint data symbol and the pilot symbol maximum likelihood detect the soft demodulation symbols of each of the plurality of user equipments. Since the basic granularity of the spread spectrum becomes smaller, from one data packet to one modulation symbol, the multiple repetition times of the block spread spectrum data packet can be avoided to exceed the channel correlation time, and the signals between the receiving side users are not orthogonal and thus the solution The problem of reduced performance. Moreover, since the granularity of the spread spectrum is small, the signal transmission time of the user equipment can be more flexibly coordinated, and multiplexing and signal transmission between the user equipments can be arranged.

It should be understood that, in various embodiments of the present invention, the size of the sequence numbers of the above processes does not mean the order of execution, and the order of execution of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not be taken to the embodiments of the present invention. The implementation process constitutes any limitation.
