S203,所述基站根据预设的用于正交变换的矩阵对所述天线端口的信号进行正交变换;
具体的,所述基站对所述天线端口的信号进行正交变换的具体过程为:先为所述用于正交变换的矩阵中的各行元素与所述不同的天线设置对应关系,再分别根据所述不同的天线分别对应的行元素对所述天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,以得到与所述不同的天线分别对应的线性叠加信号,其中,所述线性叠加信号包括所述天线端口的信号的线性叠加信号。
请一并参见图3a,图3a是本发明实施例提供的一种信号处理的场景示意图,图3a展示的是分布式4x2 MIMO组网场景,以两个基站为例进行描述, 其中基站A有两根天线ANT0和ANT1,基站B有两根天线ANT2和ANT3,两个基站的4根天线与UE的2根天线组成分布式4x2 MIMO,且ANT0和ANT1覆盖的小区与ANT2和ANT3覆盖的小区具有相同的小区标识。对于现有技术,图3a所示的基站A的天线端口port0和port1的信号分别通过天线ANT0和ANT1发给UE,基站B的天线端口port2和port3的信号分别通过天线ANT2和ANT3发给UE。而在本发明实施例中,图3a所示的基站A和基站B都将先根据用于正交变换的矩阵对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换,基站A再将正交变换后的天线端口port0-port3的信号分别通过天线ANT0和ANT1发给UE,基站B也将正交变换后的天线端口port0-port3的信号分别通过天线ANT2和ANT3发给UE。基站A和基站B对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换的过程如下:
若预设的用于正交变换的矩阵为正交矩阵A,
正交矩阵A=[a00,a01,a02,a03
a10,a11,a12,a13
a20,a21,a22,a23
a30,a31,a32,a33],
则对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换后,得到
线性叠加信号OUT0=(a00*port0+a01*port1+a02*port2+a03*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT1=(a10*port0+a11*port1+a12*port2+a13*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT2=(a20*port0+a21*port1+a22*port2+a23*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT3=(a30*port0+a31*port1+a32*port2+a33*port3)。
S204,所述基站将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过不同的天线同时发送给用户设备;
具体的,基站在得到所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号后,可以将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过不同的天线同时发送给用户设备,即所述基站将至少一个线性叠加信号分别通过对应的天线同时发送给用户设备。以上述图3a中的4x2 MIMO组网场景为例,在基站A和基站B分别计算出线性叠加信 号OUT0-OUT3后,基站A将OUT0通过ANT0发送给UE,基站A还将OUT1通过ANT1发送给UE,基站B将OUT2通过ANT2发送给UE,基站B将OUT3通过ANT3发送给UE,使得UE的两根接收天线可以分别接收到四路线性叠加信号。
若两个基站分别对应的天线之间的传播路径的幅度不平衡值为p,其功率不平衡值为p的平方,UE采用的两根接收天线分别为接收天线a和接收天线b,UE通过接收天线a所接收到的接收信号为R0,通过接收天线b所接收到的接收信号为R1,则R0和R1可表示为:
R0=[H00,H01,pH02,pH03]*[OUT0,OUT1,OUT2,OUT3]T
=[H00,H01,pH02,pH03]*A*[port0,port1,port2,port3]T
=(H00*a00+H01*a10+pH02*a20+pH03*a30)*port0+
(H00*a01+H01*a11+pH02*a21+pH03*a31)*port1+
(H00*a02+H01*a12+pH02*a22+pH03*a32)*port2+
(H00*a03+H01*a13+pH02*a23+pH03*a33)*port3
R1=[H10,H11,pH12,pH13]*[OUT0,OUT1,OUT2,OUT3]T
=[H10,H11,pH12,pH13]*A*[port0,port1,port2,port3]T
=(H10*a00+H11*a10+pH12*a20+pH13*a30)*port0+
(H10*a01+H11*a11+pH12*a21+pH13*a31)*port1+
(H10*a02+H11*a12+pH12*a22+pH13*a32)*port2+
(H10*a03+H11*a13+pH12*a23+pH13*a33)*port3
其中,H00表示ANT0和接收天线a之间的物理信道,H10表示ANT0和接收天线b之间的物理信道,H01表示ANT1和接收天线a之间的物理信道,H11表示ANT1和接收天线b之间的物理信道,H02表示ANT2和接收天线a之间的物理信道,H12表示ANT2和接收天线b之间的物理信道,H03表示ANT3和接收天线a之间的物理信道,H13表示ANT3和接收天线b之间的物理信道。以接收信号R1中天线端口port0的信道功率为例进行推导,具体过程为:
R1中天线端口port0的信道功率:
E{|H10*a00+H11*a10+pH12*a20+pH13*a30|^2]=E{|H10*a00|^2+|H11*a10|^2+|pH12*a20|^2+|pH13*a30|^2}=W*|a00|^2+W*|a10|^2+p*p*W*|a20|^2+p*p*W*|a30|^2=(2+2*p*p)*W;
其中,E{}表示数学期望运算,||^2表示复数模的平方。上述推导过程中,利用了物理信道(H10至H13)彼此相互独立,均值为0功率为W的假设,以及正交矩阵A中每个元素的模值等于1的条件。根据同样的推导过程可以知道R0中的天线端口(port0至port3)以及R1中的天线端口(port1至port3)的信道功率均为(2+2*p*p)*W。因此,经过正交矩阵A的正交变换后,四个天线端口的信道功率始终是平衡的,从而避免了功率不平衡导致的MIMO性能恶化。此外,由于正交变换不改变物理信道的相关性,从而不影响MIMO多流传输的效果。
同样的,在分布式MIMO或SFN(Single Frequency Network,单频网)组网场景中,通过对天线端口的信号进行正交变换,可以使不同收发能力的RRU(Remote Radio Unit,射频拉远单元)也可以共存,并不影响用户设备接收到的天线端口的信道功率的平衡。
同样的,在分布式MIMO或SFN组网场景中,通过对天线端口的信号进行正交变换,可以在一部分的天线发生故障时也不影响用户设备接收到的天线端口的信道功率的平衡,甚至故障物理天线的发射功率降为0,也不影响用户设备接收到的天线端口的信道功率的平衡,并且用户设备仍然可以完整接收到各天线端口的信号,从而可以调度多个数据流。
请一并参见图3b以及图3c,图3b是本发明实施例提供的另一种信号处理的场景示意图,图3c是本发明实施例提供的又一种信号处理的场景示意图;
本发明实施例所涉及到的基站组中的基站数量可以推广到2个以上,以图3b为例,图3b展示的是分布式4x2 MIMO组网场景,以3个基站为例进行描述,其中基站A有两根天线ANT0和ANT1,基站B有两根天线ANT2和ANT3,基站C有两根天线ANT4和ANT5,三个基站的6根天线与UE的2根天线组 成分布式4x2 MIMO,且ANT0和ANT1覆盖的小区与ANT2和ANT3覆盖的小区与ANT4和ANT5覆盖的小区均具有相同的小区标识。基站A、基站B以及基站C对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换的过程如下:
若预设的用于正交变换的矩阵为矩阵A,矩阵A中的前四行元素构成正交矩阵,最后两行的线性变换与前四行的线性变换一致,
矩阵A=[a00,a01,a02,a03
a10,a11,a12,a13
a20,a21,a22,a23
a30,a31,a32,a33
a40,a41,a42,a43,
a50,a51,a52,a53],
则对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换后,得到
线性叠加信号OUT0=(a00*port0+a01*port1+a02*port2+a03*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT1=(a10*port0+a11*port1+a12*port2+a13*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT2=(a20*port0+a21*port1+a22*port2+a23*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT3=(a30*port0+a31*port1+a32*port2+a33*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT4=(a40*port0+a41*port1+a42*port2+a43*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT5=(a50*port0+a51*port1+a52*port2+a53*port3),
得到线性叠加信号OUT0-OUT5后,基站A将OUT0通过ANT0发送给UE,基站A还将OUT1通过ANT1发送给UE,基站B将OUT2通过ANT2发送给UE,基站B将OUT3通过ANT3发送给UE,基站C将OUT4通过ANT4发送给UE,基站C将OUT5通过ANT5发送给UE,使得UE的两根接收天线可以分别接收到六路线性叠加信号。经过矩阵A的正交变换后,UE所接收到的四个天线端口的信道功率始终是平衡的,从而避免了功率不平衡导致的MIMO性能恶化,其中,UE对接收到的天线端口的信道功率的推导过程可以参见上述图3对应实施例中的S205步骤中所描述的UE对接收到的天线端口的信道功率的推导,这里不再进行赘述。此外,由于正交变换不改变物理信道 的相关性,从而不影响MIMO多流传输的效果。由此可见,基站组中的基站数量推广到2个以上时,仍然可以避免功率不平衡导致的下行性能损失,从而提升了下行传输效率。
进一步的,本发明实施例所涉及到的基站组中的各基站所对应的天线数量可以不相等,以图3c为例,图3c展示的是分布式4x2 MIMO组网场景,以2个基站为例进行描述,其中基站A有两根天线ANT0和ANT1,基站B有四根天线ANT2、ANT3、ANT4以及ANT5,两个基站的6根天线与UE的2根天线组成分布式4x2 MIMO,且ANT0和ANT1覆盖的小区与ANT2、ANT3、ANT4以及ANT5覆盖的小区具有相同的小区标识。基站A和基站B对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换的过程如下:
若预设的用于正交变换的矩阵为矩阵A,矩阵A中的前四行元素构成正交矩阵,最后两行的线性变换与前四行的线性变换一致,
矩阵A=[a00,a01,a02,a03
a10,a11,a12,a13
a20,a21,a22,a23
a30,a31,a32,a33
a40,a41,a42,a43,
a50,a51,a52,a53],
则对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换后,得到
线性叠加信号OUT0=(a00*port0+a01*port1+a02*port2+a03*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT1=(a10*port0+a11*port1+a12*port2+a13*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT2=(a20*port0+a21*port1+a22*port2+a23*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT3=(a30*port0+a31*port1+a32*port2+a33*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT4=(a40*port0+a41*port1+a42*port2+a43*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT5=(a50*port0+a51*port1+a52*port2+a53*port3),
得到线性叠加信号OUT0-OUT5后,基站A将OUT0通过ANT0发送给UE,基站A还将OUT1通过ANT1发送给UE,基站B将OUT2通过ANT2发送 给UE,基站B将OUT3通过ANT3发送给UE,基站B将OUT4通过ANT4发送给UE,基站B将OUT5通过ANT5发送给UE,使得UE的两根接收天线可以分别接收到六路线性叠加信号。经过矩阵A的正交变换后,UE所接收到的四个天线端口的信道功率始终是平衡的,从而避免了功率不平衡导致的MIMO性能恶化,其中,UE对接收到的天线端口的信道功率的推导过程可以参见上述图3对应实施例中的S205步骤中所描述的UE对接收到的天线端口的信道功率的推导,这里不再进行赘述。由此可见,基站组中的各基站所对应的天线数量不相等时,仍然可以避免功率不平衡导致的下行性能损失,从而提升了下行传输效率。
由此可见,本发明实施例通过根据预设的用于正交变换的矩阵对天线端口的信号进行正交变换,并将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过地理位置不同的天线同时发送给用户设备,使得用户设备接收到的各个天线端口的信道功率始终平衡,提升了下行传输效率。

所述处理单元10,还用于根据预设的用于正交变换的矩阵对所述天线端口的信号进行正交变换;
具体的,在所述处理单元10得到所在基站组中的所有天线端口的信号后,所述处理单元10还可以根据预设的用于正交变换的矩阵对所有天线端口的信号进行正交变换,其正交变换的具体过程可以为:用矩阵中每一行的元素分别与所有天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,每一行元素所对应的线性变换相互正交。例如,所述用于正交变换的矩阵包括两行元素,所述处理单元10将第一行元素与所有天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,将第二行元素与所有天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,两个线性叠加的过程称之为正交变换。无论基站组中的基站数量为一个或多个,每个基站的处理单元都可以根据预设的用于正交变换的矩阵对所述天线端口的信号进行正交变换。
其中,所述处理单元10,具体用于为所述用于正交变换的矩阵中的各行元素与所述不同的天线设置对应关系,再分别根据所述不同的天线分别对应的行元素对所述天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,以得到与所述不同的天线分别对应的线性叠加信号;其中,所述对应关系是指所述各行元素与所述不同的天线为一一对应关系;其中,所述线性叠加信号包括所述天线端口的信号的线性叠加信号。
所述发送单元20,用于将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过不同的天线同时发送给用户设备,所述不同的天线覆盖的小区具有相同的小区标识;
具体的,当基站组中的基站数量为一个时,所述基站1的发送单元20将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过不同的天线同时发送给用户设备,即可使得用户设备接收到的各个天线端口的信道功率始终平衡,提升了下行传输效 率。当基站组中的基站数量为大于一个时,所述基站1的发送单元20可以将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过本地基站的天线发送给用户设备,并控制所述基站组内的其他基站将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过各自的天线同时发送给用户设备,使得用户设备接收到的各个天线端口的信道功率始终平衡,提升了下行传输效率。所述不同的天线覆盖的小区具有相同的小区标识,说明所述不同的天线均处于一个基站组中。由S102步骤可知通过所述用于正交变换的矩阵中的每行元素分别对所述天线端口的信号进行线性叠加,可以得到至少一个线性叠加信号,因此,所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号包括至少一个线性叠加信号。所述发送单元20将所述正交变换后的天线端口的信号通过不同的天线同时发送给用户设备的具体过程为:所述发送单元20将所述至少一个线性叠加信号分别通过对应的天线同时发送给用户设备。所述发送单元20在将所述至少一个线性叠加信号分别传输到对应天线之前,还需执行:对所述至少一个线性叠加信号进行资源映射、OFDM信号生成以及中射频变换处理,再将处理后的至少一个线性叠加信号输出到对应的天线上。其中,所述资源映射、OFDM信号生成以及中射频变换三种处理方式均为现有技术,这里不再进行赘述。

a10,a11,a12,a13
a20,a21,a22,a23
a30,a31,a32,a33],
则两个基站的处理单元对天线端口port0-port3的信号进行正交变换后,均得到
线性叠加信号OUT0=(a00*port0+a01*port1+a02*port2+a03*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT1=(a10*port0+a11*port1+a12*port2+a13*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT2=(a20*port0+a21*port1+a22*port2+a23*port3),
线性叠加信号OUT3=(a30*port0+a31*port1+a32*port2+a33*port3);
基站A的发送单元将OUT0通过ANT0发送给UE,基站A的发送单元还将OUT1通过ANT1发送给UE,基站B的发送单元将OUT2通过ANT2发送给UE,基站B的发送单元将OUT3通过ANT3发送给UE,使得UE的两根接收天线可以分别接收到四路线性叠加信号,使得UE接收到的四个天线端口的信道功率始终是平衡的,从而避免了功率不平衡导致的MIMO性能恶化。此外,由于正交变换不改变物理信道的相关性,从而不影响MIMO多流传输的效果。

...
an0,an1,an2,an3],其中,所述用于正交变换的矩阵的第一行至第四行的元素可构成一个正交矩阵,第五行至第n行中每行的线性变换和前四行的线性变换可以一致或者不一致。
