- a data block transmitted by a base station to a terminal in the LTE and LTE-A standards is called a codeword.
- the base station can transmit two codewords to the terminal at the same time, or only one codeword.
- the data of a codeword is mapped to one or more spatial data streams according to certain rules. If the transmission is two codewords, the total number of data streams mapped by the two codewords should not exceed the maximum number of data streams that can be supported by the base station to the terminal spatial channel, which is obtained by the RI reported by the terminal.
- CQI can also be understood as the quantization of channel quality information. If the quality is good, it can support higher-order modulation and coding methods to obtain higher speed. If the quality is poor, it can only be performed in lower-order modulation and coding. Transmission to ensure the robustness of the transmission.

Description
相关申请的交叉参考
本申请主张在2014年11月17日在中国提交的中国专利申请号No.201410654785.4的优先权,其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
本公开文本涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种信道状态信息测量方法、信道状态信息获取方法、终端和网络设备。
在长期演进系统(Long Term Evolution,简称LTE)中,反映下行物理信道状态的信息即信道状态信息(Channel State Information,简称CSI)主要包括3部分内容:预编码矩阵索引(Pre-coding Matrix Indicator,简称PMI)和秩指示(Rank Indicator,简称RI)、信道质量指示(Channels Quality Indicator,简称CQI)。
PMI所确定预编码矩阵可以看作是信道状态信息的量化值。LTE Rel-8系统引入了闭环预编码技术提高频谱效率。闭环预编码技术要求在基站和终端都保存同一个预编码矩阵的集合,称为码本。终端根据小区公共导频估计出信道信息后,按一定准则从码本中选出一个预编码矩阵。选取的准则可以是最大化互信息量、最大化输出信干噪比等。终端将选出的预编码矩阵的PMI通过上行信道反馈到基站。基站通过接收到的PMI确定对该终端应使用的预编码矩阵。
RI对应于从基站到终端的空间信道最多可以支持的空间数据流数目。LTE以及LTE-A标准中基站向终端传输的一个数据块被称为一个码字,在空间复用的情况下,基站最多可以同时向终端传输两个码字,也可以只传输一个码字。一个码字的数据按照一定的规则映射到一个或者多个空间数据流上。如果是两个码字的传输,则两个码字映射的总数据流数目不应超过基站到终端的空间信道所最多能支持的数据流数目,该数目即通过终端上报的RI获得。
CQI的反馈的含义是:终端根据信道质量,选择一种合适的传输块调制编码等级推荐给基站,使得基站根据该信息进行调制编码可以最好程度发挥其信道的传输能力。从另外一个角度CQI也可以理解为信道质量信息的量化,如果质量好,可以支持较高阶的调制编码方式,获得更高的速度;如果质量差,只能以较低阶的调制编码方式进行传输,以保障传输的鲁棒性。
CSI中的RI、PMI和CQI的计算和选择依赖于终端对干扰信息测量的准确度。
现有技术中,干扰信息的测量和计算仅根据LTE系统中的公共参考信号(Common Reference Signal,简称CRS)或者是信道状态信息测量参考信号
(Channel State Information Reference Signal,简称CSI-RS)进行。由于干扰信息的测量和计算所依据的条件比较单一,所得到的干扰测量结果误差较大。
综上所述,亟需一种信道状态信息测量方法、信道状态信息获取方法、终端和网络设备,用以测量信道状态信息,提高干扰测量的准确性。

本公开文本实施例提供一种信道状态信息测量方法、信道状态信息获取方法、终端和网络设备用以测量信道状态信息,提高测量所得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息的匹配度,进一步使网络在进行链路自适应时选择更合适的参数。
本公开文本实施例可适用于LTE系统或者LTE系统的演进系统。
从LTE R8到LTE R10,终端的干扰测量均是基于CRS或CSI-RS进行的,主要思想是测量CRS或CSI-RS受到的干扰。
LTE Rel-11,终端的干扰测量均是基于干扰测量资源(interference measurement resource,简称IMR)进行的。由于终端确定出的信道状态信息的准确度依赖于终端对干扰进行测量的准确度。因此,为了使终端能测量到与传输假设对应的干扰水平,LTE Rel-11版本引入了终端专属的IMR。网络设备可以为终端配置其专属的IMR。每个IMR占用一组资源(Resource Element,简称RE),网络设备控制这一组RE上的信号发送,使得终端在这一组RE上对干扰进行测量。

为了使本公开文本的目的、技术方案及有益效果更加清楚明白,以下结合附图及实施例,对本公开文本进行进一步详细说明。应当理解,此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本公开文本,并不用于限定本公开文本。
图2示例性示出了一种信道状态信息测量方法的流程示意图。
基于上述内容,如图2所示,本公开文本实施例提供一种信道状态信息测量方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤201,终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果;
步骤202,终端根据初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息;以及
步骤203,终端向网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
由于终端根据初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息,因此增加了确定信道状态信息所依据的条件,从而提高了所确定的信道状态信息的准确性。进一步由于确定出信道状态信息的准确度提高,从而可使网络依据更准确的信道状态信息在进行链路自适应时选择更合适的参数。
此外,在上述步骤202之前,并且在上述步骤201之前或之后均可,终端需接收网络设备发送的配置消息,并进行配置,可通过以下两种方式进行。
方式一:
网络设备为终端配置干扰源基站的干扰测量参数。可选的,干扰测量参数为一组或多组,每组干扰测量参数对应一个干扰源基站。每组干扰测量参数包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。该干扰测量CSI-RS中的CSI-RS是指从一个干扰源基站上发出的CSI-RS。
方式二:
网络设备为终端配置一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、一个或多个干扰信号特征参数、以及每个干扰测量CSI-RS与一个或多个干扰信号特征参数的对应关系。可选的,还包括每个干扰测量CSI-RS与干扰源基站的对应关系。在此种方式中,每个干扰源基站可对应一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,每个干扰测量CSI-RS对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。该干扰测量CSI-RS中的CSI-RS是指从一个干扰源基站上发出的CSI-RS。
基于上述方式一或方式二,在步骤202中,所述终端根据所述初始干扰测量结果、网络设备配置的干扰测量CSI-RS、以及网络设备配置的所述干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰信号特征参数,确定信道状态信息。
由于方式一中的干扰测量参数或方式二中的干扰测量CSI-RS以及干扰
信号特征参数是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的信息与现有技术相比更能反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。
比如,网络设备为终端配置的干扰测量CSI-RS是针对该终端的干扰源基站的,从而可以结合步骤201中的初始干扰测量结果和步骤202中基于干扰测量CSI-RS的测量结果来得到干扰信息,这样得到的干扰信息比现有技术更能反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。
进一步地,网络设备为终端配置的干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,比如可以是干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合,因此可以一定程度上反映该干扰源基站的数据传输情况。因此,结合初始干扰测量结果、基于干扰测量CSI-RS的干扰测量结果以及干扰源基站发送信号的相关矩阵所得到的干扰信息,与现有技术相比可以与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。
上述方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数可视为方式一中的一组干扰测量参数。下述例子中主要以方式一为基础进行介绍,本领域技术人员可依据该对应关系将下述实施例中的一组干扰测量参数的名词替换为方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。
具体实施中,如果配置了多组干扰测量参数,则终端可使用配置的所有干扰测量参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可通过高层信令或下行动态控制信令(Downlink Control Information,简称DCI)的方式指示出终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数。
可选的,可以通过DCI指示出以下内容中的一项或几项:终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、终端所使用的每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、终端所使用的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。也就是说,通过DCI指示终端使用哪一组或哪几组干扰测量参数进行干扰的测量和计算,或者可以描述为激活某一组或多组干扰测量参数。当每组干扰测量参数中包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某一个或某几个干扰测量CSI-RS。当一个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的某一个或某几个干扰信号特征参数。另一种实施方式中,也可通过DCI指示终端不使用任何干扰测量参数,即不激活任何干扰测量参数。在这种情况下,终端可用在IMR上测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算,或在网络设备未配置IMR的情况下,终端可用测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算。
干扰源基站可以是一个宏基站,或者一个低功率节点,如射频拉远设备(Remote Radio Head,简称RRH),或者一个中继站点。另外,干扰源基站也可以指多个宏基站,或者多个低功率节点,或者多个中继节点等。此外,干扰源基站还可以是多个宏基站与多个低功率节点的组合等。
干扰测量CSI-RS是以CSI-RS为例进行说明,也可以采用CRS,解调的参考信号(De-Modulation Reference Signal,简称DMRS)等其他的测量导频信号,方法相同。
具体来说,可通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数。DCI比特位具体数值与所指示使用的干扰测量参数的对应关系可以是预先约定好,也可以由网络设备通过信令配置给终端。
下面举一些例子,详细说明如何通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数。
下面给出示意如何通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数的几个场景。

通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量CSI-RS的方式如下所示。
如果一组干扰测量参数中配置了多个干扰测量CSI-RS,则可以通过DCI指示终端使用哪个或哪几个干扰测量CSI-RS进行干扰的测量和计算。假设通过DCI中的两个比特位指示出终端应使用第一组干扰测量参数。假设此时第一组干扰测量参数中包括三个干扰测量CSI-RS,基于上述类似的方法,在DCI中用两个比特指示终端使用哪个干扰测量CSI-RS进行计算。例如,可通过DCI中的4个比特指示终端使用上述场景一中的第一组干扰测量参数终端的第一个干扰测量CSI-RS。具体例子与上述通过DCI比特来指示终端使用哪些干扰测量参数类似,在此不再赘述。
除了通过上述DCI指示位的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量CSI-RS进行干扰测量和计算之外,也可在DCI中通过位图的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量CSI-RS进行干扰测量和计算,位图中的每一位对应一个干扰测量CSI-RS。如果DCI中该比特为“1”,则终端需要用该个干扰测量CSI-RS进行干扰测量和计算,否则不用。

表8场景八中DCI解析
除了通过上述DCI指示位的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可在DCI中通过位图的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算,位图中的每一位对应一个干扰信号特征参数。如果DCI中该比特为“1”,则终端需要用该个干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算,否则不用。
以上内容详细介绍了几种确定终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数的方式。
终端接收到网络设备发送的指示信息,指示信息用于指示出以下内容中的一项或几项:终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、终端所使用的每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、终端所使用的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,网络设备为终端配置干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息,该干扰测量
CSI-RS是从终端的一个干扰源基站上发出的干扰测量CSI-RS。每个干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息包括该干扰测量CSI-RS的发送周期、子帧偏移、序列、功率等参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的每个干扰信号特征参数,每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,或包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合。终端在后续数据传输时所使用的预编码矩阵选自该预编码矩阵的集合。
每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,即协方差矩阵时,假设信号的相关矩阵用R表示,则R=E{xxH},其中,x为干扰源基站所发送的信号。如果干扰源基站采用预编码矩阵对发送数据进行预处理,则x=Ws,其中s=[s1,s2,…,sK],s是干扰源基站发送的源数据,W是干扰信号发送的预编码矩阵。如果E{ssH}=aI,其中I是单位阵,a是标量,则R=E{xxH}=aWWH。网络设备可以通过干扰信号特征参数表征干扰源基站所发送信号的空间相关特性和/或信号强度。具体来说,网络设备可以通过干扰信号特征参数表征干扰源基站所发送信号的空间相关特性或信号强度,或空间相关特性和信号强度,如相邻小区等的干扰信号方向和干扰信号强度。
当每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合时,预编码矩阵集合为{W1,W2,...,WP}。PMI是指预编码矩阵的索引,指向一个预先定义好的预编码矩阵的集合,即码本,PMI与码本中的元素一一对应。因此预编码矩阵集合也可通过PMI集合的方式表示,为{PMI1,PMI2,...,PIMP}。可选的,针对PMI集合中的每个PMI,基站可以为其配置一个加权因子,用于表征该PMI在后面的传输中会用到的概率,或者表征该PMI对应的传输的发送功率,或者在总发射功率中所占的比例。
通过上述内容的论述,网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量参数,或网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数,以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数的对应关系。另外,上述步骤在终端进行干扰测量之前之后均可。
本公开文本实施例中假设终端先进行参数配置,之后终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
终端进行干扰测量,在LTE R8到LTE R10系统中,终端基于常规的CRS或CSI-RS进行干扰测量即可,得到初始干扰测量结果。在LTE Rel-11系统,则网络设备为终端会配置其专属的IMR,终端在IMR上进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
一个实施例中,当终端存在协作基站时,终端测量得到的初始干扰测量结果为协作基站集合之外的干扰。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的协作基站。
另一个实施例中,当终端与配对终端基于单小区多用户多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)传输时,终端进行干扰测量,得到的初始干扰测量结果为终端的服务基站之外的干扰。配对终端为与该终端同在
一个服务小区中,且配对终端与该终端所占用的时频资源相同。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站是终端的服务基站。
终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果之后,针对每个干扰测量CSI-RS,所述终端依据每个干扰测量CSI-RS测量干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰源基站到所述终端的信道矩阵。

依据上述方式确定出总干扰之后,终端依据所述总干扰确定信道状态信息,并向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。本公开文本实施例中的信道状态信息中包括RI、CQI、PMI等信息。
除了上述实现方式外,本公开文本实施例还提供另外几种实现方式。
另一种实现方式为,终端测量得到初始干扰测量结果之后,依据该初始干扰测量结果确定信道状态信息,接着依据网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数对已经确定出的信道状态信息进行调整,将调整后的信道状态信息上报给网络设备。在该中实现方式中,依据网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数对已经确定出的信道状态信息进行调整可以预先设定,如可根据干扰测量参数对初步确定出的信道状态信息中的CQI进行提升或者降低。
另一种实现方式为,建立信道状态信息和初始干扰测量结果、干扰测量参数中的干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数之间的映射表格,通过初始干扰测量结果、干扰测量CSI-RS、干扰信号特征参数通过表格确定出信道状态信息,之后将确定出的信道状态信息上报给网络设备。
具体实施中,CSI进程是LTE Rel-11引入的概念。一个CSI进程对应一个传输假设的CSI。传输假设包括信号假设和干扰假设两个部分,因此一个CSI进程与一个CSI-RS和一个IMR相关联。信号假设基于CSI-RS测量得到,干扰假设基于IMR测量得到。基于本公开文本中的方法,一个CSI进程的定义可以修改成与一个CSI-RS和一个IMR关联,并且与一组或者多组干扰测量参数关联。该CSI进程的CSI测量和计算可以基于前面所介绍的方法完成。
通过上述对确定信道状态信息的各种实现方式的描述可以看出,由于干扰测量参数,或者干扰测量CSI-RS以及干扰信号特征参数,是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的信息与现有技术相比可以更能反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。
比如,网络设备为终端配置的干扰测量CSI-RS是针对该终端的干扰源基站的(如前所述,当终端存在协作基站时,终端测量得到的初始干扰测量结果为协作基站集合之外的干扰,网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的协作基站;当终端与配对终端基于单小区MIMO传输时,终端进行干扰测量得到的初始干扰测量结果为终端的服务基站之外的干扰,网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的服务基站),因此可结合步骤201中的初始测量配置来确定步骤202中的干扰测量CSI-RS所针对的干扰源基站,从而可以结合步骤201中的初始干扰测量结果和步骤202中基于干扰测量CSI-RS的测量结果来得到干扰信息,这样得到的干扰信息比现有技术更能反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。
进一步地,网络设备为终端配置的干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,比如可以是干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合,因此可以一定程度上反映该干扰源基站的数据传输情况。因此,
结合初始干扰测量结果、基于干扰测量CSI-RS的干扰测量结果以及干扰源基站发送信号的相关矩阵所得到的干扰信息,与现有技术相比可以与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。
现举两个例子,用以进一步阐述上述方法。
例子一:
假设本公开文本实施例适用于多点协作传输场景下时,即存在多个协作小区。假设终端的服务小区为第一小区,协作小区集合中包括第一小区和第二小区。网络设备为第一小区和第二小区分别配置IMR1。则当第一小区和第二小区分别在IMR1上进行静默时,终端在IMR1上进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果即为第一小区和第二小区之外的干扰,即初始干扰测量结果为协作基站集合之外的基站产生的干扰。
网络设备为终端配置一组干扰测量参数,该干扰测量参数对应的干扰源基站为第二小区的基站。该干扰测量参数中的干扰测量CSI-RS中的干扰测量CSI-RS为第二小区的基站所发送的干扰测量CSI-RS。该干扰测量参数中的干扰信号特征参数为第二小区的基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵。
此时,终端在IMR1中测量得到第一小区和第二小区之外的初始干扰测量结果,依据干扰测量参数得到第二小区对该终端所产生的干扰,将该初始干扰测量结果与第二小区对该终端所产生的干扰相加,即得到第一小区之外的所有其它小区产生的总干扰。
第一小区基于总干扰确定信道状态信息,并向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
例子二:
假设本公开文本实施例适用于单小区多用户MIMO传输场景时,假设第一小区为该终端的服务小区,在该服务小区中存在该终端的配对终端,即配对终端与该终端在服务小区内占用相同的时频资源。网络为终端配置IMR2,服务小区在IMR2上进行静默。终端在IMR2上测量得到的干扰即为服务小区之外的其它小区产生的初始干扰。
网络设备为终端配置一组干扰测量参数,该干扰测量参数中的干扰测量CSI-RS为服务小区发送的干扰测量CSI-RS,该干扰测量参数中的干扰信号的相关矩阵为服务基站对该终端的配对终端所发送的信号的相关矩阵。终端基于干扰测量参数计算出的干扰为配对终端的信号对终端所产生的干扰。
将该服务小区之外的其它小区产生的初始干扰测量结果与配对终端对终端所产生的干扰相加,结果即为终端所受到的总干扰。
服务小区基于总干扰确定信道状态信息,并向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
从上述内容可以看出,本公开文本实施例中,终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。所述终端根据所述初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息。所述终端向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
由于干扰测量参数是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的干扰测量参数可以反映干扰信息的实际发生情况,因此,终端依据该干扰测量参数得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。如此,终端得到初始干扰测量结果后,进一步结合网络设备配置的干扰信息,确定出信道状态信息并上报,从而提高了终端测量得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息的匹配度,进一步使网络在进行链路自适应时选择更合适的参数。
图3示例性示出了一种信道状态信息获取方法的流程示意图。
基于相同构思,如图3所示,本公开文本实施例提供一种信道状态信息获取方法,包括以下步骤:
步骤301,网络设备向终端发送配置信息,配置信息包括干扰测量参数;以及
步骤302,网络设备接收终端上报的信道状态信息,其中,信道状态信息是终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果,之后终端根据初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息之后上报的。
由于干扰测量参数是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的干扰测量参数可以反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。因此,终端依据该干扰测量参数得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。
网络设备向终端发送配置信息可包括以下两种方式进行。

网络设备向终端发送的配置信息包括干扰测量参数。可选的,干扰测量参数为一组或多组,每组干扰测量参数对应一个干扰源基站。每组干扰测量参数包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,以及每个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。该干扰测量CSI-RS中的CSI-RS是指从一个干扰源基站上发出的CSI-RS。
网络设备接收终端上报的信道状态信息,其中,信道状态信息是终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果,之后终端根据初始干扰测量结果,以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息之后上报的。
方式二:

网络设备接收终端上报的信道状态信息,其中,信道状态信息是终端根据初始干扰测量结果、网络设备配置的干扰测量CSI-RS、以及网络设备配置
的干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰信号特征参数,确定信道状态信息之后上报的。
上述方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数可视为方式一中的一组干扰测量参数,下述例子中主要以方式一为基础进行介绍。本领域技术人员可依据该对应关系将下述实施例中的一组干扰测量参数的名词替换为方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。
具体实施中,如果配置了多组干扰测量参数,则终端可使用配置的所有干扰测量参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可通过高层信令或下行动态控制信令(Downlink Control Information,简称DCI)的方式指示出终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数。
可选的,可以通过DCI指示出以下内容中的一项或几项:终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、终端所使用的每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、终端所使用的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。也就是说,通过DCI指示终端使用哪一组或哪几组干扰测量参数进行干扰的测量和计算,或者可以描述为激活某一组或多组干扰测量参数。当每组干扰测量参数中包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某一个或某几个干扰测量CSI-RS。当一个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的某一个或某几个干扰信号特征参数。另一种实施方式中,也可通过DCI指示终端不使用任何干扰测量参数,即不激活任何干扰测量参数。在这种情况下,终端可用在IMR上测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算,或在网络设备未配置IMR的情况下,终端可用测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算。
干扰信号特征参数具体来说,可通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数,DCI比特位具体数值与所指示使用的干扰测量参数的对应关系可以是预先约定好,也可以由网络设备通过信令配置给终端。具体示例可参见前述实施例中详细介绍,在此不再赘述。
除了通过上述DCI指示位的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可在DCI中通过位图的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算。
以上内容详细介绍了几种确定网络设备指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数的方式。
网络设备向终端发送指示信息,所述指示信息用于指示出所述终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、以及针对指示出的每组干扰测量参数、指示出每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及针对指示出的每
个干扰测量CSI-RS、指示出每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,网络设备为终端配置干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息,该干扰测量CSI-RS是从一个干扰源基站上发出的干扰测量CSI-RS。每个干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息包括该干扰测量CSI-RS的发送周期、子帧偏移、序列、功率等参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的每个干扰信号特征参数,每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,或包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合。终端在后续数据传输时所使用的预编码矩阵选自该预编码矩阵的集合。
每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,即协方差矩阵时,假设信号的相关矩阵用R表示,则R=E{xxH},其中,x为干扰源基站所发送的信号。如果干扰源基站采用预编码矩阵对发送数据进行预处理,则x=Ws,其中s=[s1,s2,...,sK],s是干扰源基站发送的源数据,W是干扰信号发送的预编码矩阵。如果E{ssH}=aI,其中I是单位阵,a是标量,则R=E{xxH}=aWWH。网络设备可以通过干扰信号特征参数表征干扰源基站所发送信号的空间相关特性和/或信号强度,如相邻小区等的干扰信号方向和干扰信号强度。
每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合时,预编码矩阵集合为{W1,W2,...,WP}。PMI是指预编码矩阵的索引,指向一个预先定义好的预编码矩阵的集合,即码本,PMI与码本中的元素一一对应。因此预编码矩阵集合也可通过PMI集合的方式表示,为{PMI1,PMI2,...,PIMP}。可选的,针对PMI集合中的每个PMI,基站可以为其配置一个加权因子,用于表征该PMI在后面的传输中会用到的概率,或者表征该PMI对应的传输的发送功率,或者在总发射功率中所占的比例。
通过上述内容的论述,网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量参数,或网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数、以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数的对应关系。该步骤在终端进行干扰测量之前之后均可。
本公开文本实施例中假设终端先进行参数配置,之后终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
在LTE R8到LTE R10系统中,终端基于常规的CRS或CSI-RS进行干扰测量即可,得到初始干扰测量结果。在LTE Rel-11系统,则网络设备为终端会配置其专属的IMR,终端在IMR上进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
一个实施例中,当终端存在协作基站时,终端测量得到的初始干扰测量结果为协作基站集合之外的干扰。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的协作基站。
另一个实施例中,当终端与配对终端基于单小区多用户多输入多输出
(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)传输时,终端进行干扰测量,得到的初始干扰测量结果为终端的服务基站之外的干扰。配对终端为与该终端同在一个服务小区中,且配对终端与该终端所占用的时频资源相同。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站是终端的服务基站。
终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果之后,针对每个干扰测量CSI-RS,所述终端依据每个干扰测量CSI-RS测量干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰源基站到所述终端的信道矩阵。
具体来说,终端根据干扰测量CSI-RS测量从干扰源基站到终端的干扰信道。可选的,如果为终端配置了多组干扰测量参数,则终端应分别根据每组干扰测量参数中的每个干扰测量CSI-RS测量从干扰源基站到终端的干扰信道,并进一步进行信道估计,估计出终端到干扰源基站的信道矩阵。
从上述内容可以看出:本公开文本实施例中,终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果;所述终端根据所述初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息;所述终端向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
由于干扰测量参数是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的干扰测量参数可以反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。因此,终端依据该干扰测量参数得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。如此,终端得到初始干扰测量结果后,进一步结合网络设备配置的干扰信息,确定出信道状态信息并上报,从而提高了终端测量得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息的匹配度,进一步使网络在进行链路自适应时选择更合适的参数。

网络设备为终端配置干扰源基站的干扰测量参数。可选的,干扰测量参数为一组或多组,每组干扰测量参数对应一个干扰源基站。每组干扰测量参数包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。该干扰测量CSI-RS中的CSI-RS是指从一个干扰源基站上发出的CSI-RS。
终端的处理器601根据初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息。
方式二:
直接为终端配置一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、一个或多个干扰信号特征参数、以及每个干扰测量CSI-RS与一个或多个干扰信号特征参数的对应关系。可选的,还包括每个干扰测量CSI-RS与干扰源基站的对应关系。在此种方式中,每个干扰源基站可对应一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,每个干扰测量CSI-RS对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。该干扰测量CSI-RS中的CSI-RS是指从一个干扰源基站上发出的CSI-RS。此时,所述终端根据所述初始干扰测量结果,网络设备配置的干扰测量信道状态信息测量参考信号干扰测量CSI-RS,以及网络设备配置的所述干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰信号特征参数,确定信道状态信息。
终端的处理器601根据初始干扰测量结果、网络设备配置的干扰测量信道状态信息测量参考信号CSI-RS、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干扰信号特征参数,确定信道状态信息。
上述方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数可视为方式一中的
一组干扰测量参数,下述例子中主要以方式一为基础进行介绍。本领域技术人员可依据该对应关系将下述实施例中的一组干扰测量参数的名词替换为方式二中的每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS、以及每个CSI-RS所对应的一个或多个干扰信号特征参数。
具体实施中,如果配置了多组干扰测量参数,则终端可使用配置的所有干扰测量参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可通过高层信令或DCI的方式指示出终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数。
可选的,可以通过DCI指示出以下内容中的一项或几项:终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、终端所使用的每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、终端所使用的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。也就是说,通过DCI指示终端使用哪一组或哪几组干扰测量参数进行干扰的测量和计算,或者可以描述为激活某一组或多组干扰测量参数。当每组干扰测量参数中包括一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某一个或某几个干扰测量CSI-RS。当一个干扰测量CSI-RS对应一个或多个干扰信号特征参数时,可以通过DCI激活某组干扰测量参数中的某个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的某一个或某几个干扰信号特征参数。另一种实施方式中,也可通过DCI指示终端不使用任何干扰测量参数,即不激活任何干扰测量参数。在这种情况下,终端可用在IMR上测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算,或在网络设备未配置IMR的情况下,终端可用测量到的干扰进行CSI的测量和计算。
干扰信号特征参数具体来说,可通过DCI比特来指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数。DCI比特位具体数值与所指示使用的干扰测量参数的对应关系可以是预先约定好,也可以由网络设备通过信令配置给终端。具体示例可参见前述实施例中详细介绍,在此不再赘述。
除了通过上述DCI指示位的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算,也可在DCI中通过位图的方式指示终端使用哪些干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数进行干扰测量和计算。
以上内容详细介绍了几种确定网络设备指示终端所需使用的干扰测量参数、干扰测量CSI-RS、以及干扰信号特征参数的方式。
终端接收到网络设备发送的指示信息,指示信息用于指示出以下内容中的一项或几项:终端所使用的一组或几组干扰测量参数、终端所使用的每组干扰测量参数中的一个或几个干扰测量CSI-RS、终端所使用的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的一个或几个干扰信号特征参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置每个干扰源基站所对应的一个或多个干扰测量CSI-RS,网络设备为终端配置干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息,该干扰测量CSI-RS是从一个干扰源基站上发出的干扰测量CSI-RS。每个干扰测量CSI-RS的配置信息包括该干扰测量CSI-RS的发送周期、子帧偏移、序列、
功率等参数。
针对网络设备为终端配置的每个干扰测量CSI-RS所对应的每个干扰信号特征参数,每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,或包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合。终端在后续数据传输时所使用的预编码矩阵选自该预编码矩阵的集合。
每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站所发送的信号的相关矩阵,即协方差矩阵时,假设信号的相关矩阵用R表示,则R=E{xxH},其中,x为干扰源基站所发送的信号。如果干扰源基站采用预编码矩阵对发送数据进行预处理,则x=Ws,其中s=[s1,s2,...,sK],s是干扰源基站发送的源数据,W是干扰信号发送的预编码矩阵。如果E{ssH}=aI,其中I是单位阵,a是标量,则R=E{xxH}=aWWH。网络设备可以通过干扰信号特征参数表征干扰源基站所发送信号的空间相关特性和/或信号强度,如相邻小区等的干扰信号方向和干扰信号强度。
每个干扰信号特征参数包括干扰源基站进行数据传输使用的预编码矩阵的集合时,预编码矩阵集合为{W1,W2,...,WP}。PMI是指预编码矩阵的索引,指向一个预先定义好的预编码矩阵的集合,即码本,PMI与码本中的元素一一对应。因此预编码矩阵集合也可通过PMI集合的方式表示,为{PMI1,PMI2,...,PIMP}。可选的,针对PMI集合中的每个PMI,基站可以为其配置一个加权因子,用于表征该PMI在后面的传输中会用到的概率,或者表征该PMI对应的传输的发送功率,或者在总发射功率中所占的比例。
通过上述内容的论述,网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量参数,或网络设备为终端配置了干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数,以及干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数的对应关系。该步骤在终端进行干扰测量之前之后均可。
本公开文本实施例中假设终端先进行参数配置,之后终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
终端进行干扰测量,在LTE R8到LTE R10系统中,终端基于常规的CRS或CSI-RS进行干扰测量即可,得到初始干扰测量结果。在LTE Rel-11系统,则网络设备为终端会配置其专属的IMR,终端在IMR上进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。
一个实施例中,当终端存在协作基站时,终端测量得到的初始干扰测量结果为协作基站集合之外的干扰。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的协作基站。
另一个实施例中,当终端与配对终端基于单小区多用户多输入多输出(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,MIMO)传输时,终端进行干扰测量,得到的初始干扰测量结果为终端的服务基站之外的干扰。配对终端为与该终端同在一个服务小区中,且配对终端与该终端所占用的时频资源相同。网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数所对应的干扰源基站为终端的服务基站。
终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果之后,针对每个干扰测量CSI-RS,所述终端依据每个干扰测量CSI-RS测量干扰测量CSI-RS对应的干
扰源基站到所述终端的信道矩阵。
具体来说,终端根据干扰测量CSI-RS测量从干扰源基站到终端的干扰信道。可选的,如果为终端配置了多组干扰测量参数,则终端应分别根据每组干扰测量参数中的每个干扰测量CSI-RS测量从干扰源基站到终端的干扰信道,并进一步进行信道估计,估计出终端到干扰源基站的信道矩阵。
所述终端依据所述初始干扰测量结果、所述信道矩阵和所述干扰信号特征参数,确定总干扰,所述终端依据所述总干扰确定信道状态信息。所述总干扰为依据所述信道矩阵和所述干扰信号特征参数得到的结果与所述初始干扰测量结果之和。
所述终端依据所述初始干扰测量结果、所述信道矩阵和所述干扰信号特征参数,确定总干扰所依据的公式为前述公式(1)至公式(17),在此不再赘述。
依据上述方式确定出总干扰之后,终端依据所述总干扰确定信道状态信息,并向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。本公开文本实施例中的信道状态信息中包括RI、CQI、PMI等信息。
除了上述实现方式外,本公开文本实施例还提供另外几种实现方式如下。
另一种实现方式为,终端测量得到初始干扰测量结果之后,依据该初始干扰测量结果确定信道状态信息,接着依据网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数对已经确定出的信道状态信息进行调整,将调整后的信道状态信息上报给网络设备。在该中实现方式中,依据网络设备所配置的干扰测量参数对已经确定出的信道状态信息进行调整可以预先设定,如可根据干扰测量参数对初步确定出的信道状态信息中的CQI进行提升或者降低。
另一种实现方式为,建立信道状态信息和初始干扰测量结果、干扰测量参数中的干扰测量CSI-RS和干扰信号特征参数之间的映射表格,通过初始干扰测量结果、干扰测量CSI-RS、干扰信号特征参数通过表格确定出信道状态信息,之后将确定出的信道状态信息上报给网络设备。
具体实施中,CSI进程是LTE Rel-11引入的概念。一个CSI进程对应一个传输假设的CSI。传输假设包括信号假设和干扰假设两个部分,因此一个CSI进程与一个CSI-RS和一个IMR相关联。信号假设基于CSI-RS测量得到,干扰假设基于IMR测量得到。基于本公开文本中的方法,一个CSI进程的定义可以修改成与一个CSI-RS和一个IMR关联,并且与一组或者多组干扰测量参数关联。该CSI进程的CSI测量和计算可以基于前面所介绍的方法完成。
从上述内容可以看出:本公开文本实施例中,终端进行干扰测量,得到初始干扰测量结果。所述终端根据所述初始干扰测量结果、以及网络设备配置的干扰测量参数,确定信道状态信息。所述终端向所述网络设备上报确定出的信道状态信息。
由于干扰测量参数是由网络设备所配置的,因此该网络设备配置的干扰测量参数可以反映干扰信息的实际发生情况。因此,终端依据该干扰测量参数得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息更为匹配。如此,终端得到初始
干扰测量结果后,进一步结合网络设备配置的干扰信息,确定出信道状态信息并上报,从而提高了终端测量得到的干扰信息与实际传输时的干扰信息的匹配度,进一步使网络在进行链路自适应时选择更合适的参数。
