- the UE monitors the PDCCH of every subframe in order to receive data transmitted to the UE.
- the UE wakes up in the monitoring interval of every DRX cycle and monitors the PDCCH in a subframe corresponding to the monitoring interval.
- a subframe in which PDCCH monitoring is performed is called a non-DRX subframe.
- the UE In order to receive the PDCCH transmitted to the UE, the UE must perform blind decoding on all CCEs present in the control region of the non-DRX subframe. Since the UE does not know which PDCCH format is transmitted, it is necessary to decode all PDCCHs at the CCE aggregation level possible until blind decoding of the PDCCH is successful in every non-DRX subframe. Since the UE does not know how many CCEs the PDCCH uses for itself, the UE should attempt detection at all possible CCE aggregation levels until the blind decoding of the PDCCH succeeds.
- a search space (SS) concept is defined for blind decoding of a terminal.
- the search space means a PDCCH candidate set for the UE to monitor and may have a different size according to each PDCCH format.
- the search space may include a common search space (CSS) and a UE-specific / dedicated search space (USS).
- the UE In the case of the common search space, all terminals can know the size of the common search space, but the terminal specific search space can be set individually for each terminal. Accordingly, the UE must monitor both the UE-specific search space and the common search space in order to decode the PDCCH, thus performing a maximum of 44 blind decoding (BDs) in one subframe. This does not include blind decoding performed according to different CRC values (eg, C-RNTI, P-RNTI, SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI).
- CRC values eg, C-RNTI, P-RNTI, SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI
- the base station may not be able to secure the CCE resources for transmitting the PDCCH to all the terminals to transmit the PDCCH in a given subframe. This is because resources remaining after the CCE location is allocated may not be included in the search space of a specific UE.
- a terminal specific hopping sequence may be applied to the starting point of the terminal specific search space to minimize this barrier that may continue to the next subframe.
- Table 4 shows the sizes of the common search space and the terminal specific search space.
- the UE does not simultaneously perform searches according to all defined DCI formats. Specifically, the terminal always performs a search for DCI formats 0 and 1A in the terminal specific search space (USS). In this case, the DCI formats 0 and 1A have the same size, but the UE may distinguish the DCI formats by using a flag used for distinguishing the DCI formats 0 and 1A included in the PDCCH. In addition, a DCI format other than DCI format 0 and DCI format 1A may be required for the UE. Examples of the DCI formats include 1, 1B, and 2.
- the UE may search for DCI formats 1A and 1C.
- the UE may be configured to search for DCI format 3 or 3A, and DCI formats 3 and 3A have the same size as DCI formats 0 and 1A, but the UE uses a CRC scrambled by an identifier other than the UE specific identifier.
- the DCI format can be distinguished.
- Search space is at the aggregation level PDCCH candidate set according to the.
- the CCE according to the PDCCH candidate set m of the search space may be determined by Equation 1 below.
- M (L) represents the number of PDCCH candidates according to CCE aggregation level L for monitoring in search space, to be.
- Ns represents a slot index in a radio frame.
- the UE monitors both the UE-specific search space and the common search space to decode the PDCCH.
- the common search space (CSS) supports PDCCHs having an aggregation level of ⁇ 4, 8 ⁇
- the UE specific search space supports PDCCHs having an aggregation level of ⁇ 1, 2, 4, 8 ⁇ .
- Table 5 shows PDCCH candidates monitored by the UE.

- CRS 10 shows an allocation structure of a CRS when a system supports four antennas.
- CRS is used for decoding and channel state measurement. Accordingly, the CRS is transmitted over the entire downlink bandwidth in all downlink subframes in a cell supporting PDSCH transmission, and is transmitted in all antenna ports configured in the eNB.
- the CRS sequence is mapped to complex-valued modulation symbols used as reference symbols for antenna port p in slot n s .
- the UE can measure the CSI using the CRS, and can decode the downlink data signal received through the PDSCH in a subframe including the CRS using the CRS. That is, the eNB transmits the CRS at a predetermined position in each RB in all RBs, and the UE detects the PDSCH after performing channel estimation based on the CRS. For example, the UE measures the signal received at the CRS RE. The UE may detect the PDSCH signal from the PD to which the PDSCH is mapped by using a ratio of the reception energy for each CRS RE to the reception energy for each RE to which the PDSCH is mapped.
- the 3GPP LTE-A system further defines a UE-specific RS (hereinafter, UE-RS) and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) in addition to the CRS.

- the UE-RS is transmitted only through the antenna port (s) respectively corresponding to the layer (s) of the PDSCH. Therefore, overhead of RS can be reduced compared to CRS.

- FIG. 12 (c) shows five available by eight CSI-RS ports among the CSI-RS configurations.
- Branch CSI-RS configuration 0-4 are shown.
- the CSI-RS port means an antenna port configured for CSI-RS transmission. Since the CSI-RS configuration varies depending on the number of CSI-RS ports, even if the CSI-RS configuration numbers are the same, different CSI-RS configurations are obtained when the number of antenna ports configured for CSI-RS transmission is different.
- the CSI-RS is configured to be transmitted every predetermined transmission period corresponding to a plurality of subframes. Therefore, the CSI-RS configuration depends not only on the positions of REs occupied by the CSI-RS in a resource block pair but also on the subframe in which the CSI-RS is configured.
- the CSI-RS configuration may be regarded as different. For example, if the CSI-RS transmission period (T CSI-RS ) is different or the start subframe ( ⁇ CSI-RS ) configured for CSI-RS transmission in one radio frame is different, the CSI-RS configuration may be different.
- eNB informs UE of CSI-RS resource configuration

- FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating examples of antenna tilting.
- the base station adjusts the beam transmission direction of the antenna by using mechanical tilting or electrical tilting. Through such antenna tilting, it was possible to reduce interference between cells and to improve SINR of terminals in a cell.
- the beam direction is fixed when the initial antenna is installed.
- the tilting angle can be adjusted using a phase shift module, but the vertical beamforming is very limited. There is a limit to that only possible.
- FIG. 14 (a) shows the case where the antenna tilting is not performed
- FIG. 14 (b) shows the case where the electrical tilting (or the electrical tilting and the mechanical tilting) is performed when the mechanical tilting is performed. .
- FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an implementation example of an active antenna system (AAS).
- AAS active antenna system
- AAS refers to each antenna module including an RF module including a power amplifier.
- FIG. 15 (b) shows an example of an implementation of the AAS, and each antenna module includes an active element, so that each antenna module can adjust power and phase by itself.
- the conventional MIMO antenna structure considers a linear structure such as a uniform linear array (ULA) (that is, a one-dimensional array of antennas).
- ULA uniform linear array
- the beamforming results of the antennas exist in the two-dimensional plane, and the same in the conventional PAS-based MIMO structure.
- the antennas are controlled by one RF module so that vertical beamforming is not possible or only simple mechanical tilting is possible.
- each RF module is installed independently for each antenna, so that beamforming is possible in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction.
- This feature is called elevation beamforming.
- 3D beamforming in which beamforming results of antennas are expressed in three-dimensional space is enabled. That is, 3D beamforming becomes possible as the 1D antenna array structure evolves into a 2D antenna array structure.
- the arrangement of the antenna in the AAS may have a planar shape as shown in FIG. 15 (b), but may have a conformal ring shape. That is, 3D beamforming means that the MIMO processing procedure is performed in three-dimensional space as the antenna array in AAS evolves into two or three dimensions instead of the conventional one.
- the base station can perform beamforming not only when the terminal moves to the left and right of the base station, but also when the terminal moves back and forth. Accordingly, terminal-specific beamforming and transmission are possible.
- 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of 2D beam transmission based on AAS.
- the above-described AAS-based two-dimensional antenna array may be applied to a case where an outdoor base station transmits to an outdoor terminal, and an outdoor to indoor (O2I) environment and an indoor base station transmitted by an outdoor base station to an indoor terminal. It can be applied to an environment (Indoor Hotspot) transmitting to the indoor terminal.
- O2I outdoor to indoor
- Indoor Hotspot an environment
- the base station may not only perform beam steering in a horizontal direction but also beam steering in a vertical direction considering various terminal heights according to building height. This reflects the need to consider.
- the change of the shadow / path loss according to the height unlike the conventional radio channel environment, the change of the shadow / path loss according to the height, the fading characteristic change (Line-of-sight / Non-Line-of-sight (LoS / NloS), DoA (direction) of arrival, etc.).
- 3D channel models have been continuously conducted as 3GPP LTE Rel-12 standardized items.
- FIGS. 18 and 19 are diagrams illustrating an example of an RS configuration according to a proposed embodiment.
- the proposed RS configuration method can be applied to the UE-RS, and is performed in the form of multiplexing RS using a conventional UE-RS allocation pattern and a CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) scheme.
- the proposed method may maintain the same RS density per antenna port on the frequency axis as in the prior art by additionally assigning the UE-RS from the ninth layer.
- the antenna port is additionally defined for the case where the number of layers is 9 or more, and the index of the layer and the index of the antenna port may be implemented as shown in Table 8 below.
- the layer index corresponds to the maximum rank number used by the terminal. For example, if the rank used by the terminal is 11, the 9/10 / 11th layer corresponds to the 23/24/25 antenna ports, respectively. At this time, the first to eighth layers reuse the existing antenna port.
- FIG. 18 shows an example of RS mapping for antenna ports 23 to 30, according to the embodiment described above in Table 8.
- RSs are mapped to the same location (ie, same RE) for antenna port 23/24. In this way, transmissions of rank 9/10 will have the same RS overhead.
- RSs are mapped to the same RE for antenna ports 25/26, and RSs are mapped to the same RE for antenna ports 27/28 and 29/30 respectively.
- RSs for antenna ports 23/25/27/29 are mapped on different frequency axes. That is, for the antenna ports 23/25/27/29 (or 24/26/28/30), RSs are classified by frequency division multiplexing (FDM).
- FDM frequency division multiplexing
- the RSs of the antenna ports 23/25/27/29 are classified by the FDM scheme.
- RSs corresponding to antenna ports 23/24 are mapped to the same location in the resource region (eg, subframe) as shown in FIG. 18. . Therefore, a method for distinguishing these RSs is needed.
- FIG. 19 shows UE-RSs allocated to one RB when the terminal uses 16 layers.
- the REs marked by hatched in FIG. 19 represent REs in which UE-RSs for conventional antenna ports 7 to 14 are disposed.
- the two overlapped regions indicate that UE-RSs generated using different codes for corresponding positions are allocated.
- UE-RSs of antenna ports 23 and 24 allocated with the same position in an RB or subframe are distinguished from each other by the CDM scheme.
- UE-RSs of antenna ports 25/26, 27/28, and 29/30 are also distinguished from each other by the CDM scheme.
- the overhead of UE-RS is doubled as compared with the existing 8 layers.
- the RS density per antenna port indicates that the CDM multiplexing is applied in the process of distinguishing two antenna ports sharing the same RE to satisfy a condition that is implemented in the same manner as in the related art.
- the position of the UE-RS used in the antenna ports 23 to 30 may be the third and fourth OFDM symbols in the second slot in the subframe.
- the UE-RS may be mapped in such a manner that two consecutive OFDM symbols on the time axis are repeated for every four subcarriers for each antenna port.
- the first reason why such a location is selected is that it does not overlap with conventional CRS and DMRS.
- the position may overlap with the conventional CSI-RS, but can be solved by dropping the CSI-RS.
- the receiver (terminal) estimates two antenna ports multiplexed in the CDM scheme from two REs corresponding to the UE-RS (mapped to the same RE), and the higher the correlation between these two RE channels, the higher the estimated performance. This is improved.
- the antenna port estimating process means an effective channel estimation corresponding to the antenna port.
- the UE-RS is allocated to REs corresponding to two adjacent OFDM symbols on the time axis, when the UE moves slowly, the channels of the two REs are very similar. Therefore, performance degradation caused by different channels of two REs when estimating the antenna port of the UE may be minimized.
- the result of the estimated antenna port is interpolated and used for the antenna port estimation process in another RE.
- the receiver estimates and obtains three antenna port values from six REs, and obtains one antenna port value in the entire RB from the three estimated result values. If the moving speed of the terminal is fast, the antenna port value according to the interpolation process and the estimation result may be large. However, when the moving speed of the terminal is slow, only two UE-RSs can sufficiently estimate the antenna port.
- the generation process of the UE-RS will be described. Specifically, the generation process of the RS sequence carried in the RE to which the UE-RSs of the antenna ports 23 to 30 described above are mapped will be described.
- the sequence of the UE-RS Is defined according to Equation 4 below.
- Equation (4) Denotes the i th element of the pseudo-random sequence and is defined in ETSI TS 136,211-7.2. Meanwhile, the RS sequence generated according to Equation 4 is transmitted by the base station as a data symbol defined according to Equation 5 below.
- Equation 5 k denotes the position of the frequency axis, l denotes the position of the time axis, p denotes an antenna port, n PRB denotes an RB index allocated to a terminal, and n s denotes a slot index.
- equation (5) Denotes that three REs are defined on the frequency axis for one antenna port. Also, '4' indicates that these three REs are distributed in four subcarrier intervals on the frequency axis, and k 'means a value in which a corresponding RE position moves along the frequency axis according to the antenna port.
- equation (5) Denotes a code (CDM method) for distinguishing two antenna ports mapped to the same RE location, and is defined according to Table 9 below.
- the PDSCH when an unused antenna port exists among the antenna ports 23 to 30, the PDSCH may be mapped to the RE allocated to the corresponding antenna port.
- the base station may map the PDSCH to the RE position corresponding to the UE-RS of the antenna ports 25 to 30 and transmit it to the terminal.
- the UE-RS is newly defined for the antenna ports 23 to 30, but the index of the antenna port is merely a mere example. That is, the proposed UE-RS configuration method can be applied to antenna port indexes other than antenna ports 23 to 30.
- FIG. 20 is a flowchart illustrating a proposed RS configuration method.
- a RE configuration method according to the above-described embodiment will be described according to a time series flow. Therefore, although not explicitly shown or described in FIG. 20, it can be easily understood that the above descriptions of FIGS. 18 and 19 may be identically or similarly applied to FIG. 20.
- the base station generates a UE-RS (S2010). This process may be performed by generating an RS sequence from an initial value, as described in Equations 4 and 5 above. Subsequently, the base station maps the generated UE-RS to a predetermined resource region (S2020). The resource region to which the UE-RS is mapped is determined in advance according to the index of the antenna port, and this mapping relationship is determined as defined in Equation 5.
- the UE-RS may be mapped to third and fourth OFDM symbols included in the second slot of the subframe, and the UE-RSs for one antenna port may be mapped at four subcarrier intervals.
- UE-RSs mapped to two consecutive OFDM symbols are repeated three times at four subcarrier intervals, so that a total of 12 UE-RSs are mapped to one subframe.
- two antenna ports are allocated to the same RE in a subframe, and UE-RSs corresponding to the two antenna ports are multiplexed and mapped in a CDM manner.
- the base station transmits the RS-mapped subframe to the terminal (S2030), and the terminal decodes the received data signal (S2040).
- the terminal refers to the UE-RS generated / mapped by the base station.
