The citations are incorporated herein by reference.
技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定系统及方法、一种用户设备、以及一种基站。The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a channel quality indicator CQI determining system and method for cooperative multipoint communication, a user equipment, and a base station.
背景技术Background technique
长期演进(Long Term Evolution,LTE)系统中通过采用同频组网技术来提高频谱利用率,这就要求在同频小区间引入下行干扰控制技术,下行协作多点发送(Downlink Coordinated Multiple Points Transmission,DL CoMP)技术作为一种下行同频干扰控制技术引入,通过协调配置多个小区的时频资源、功率资源、空域资源,能够在同频小区间下行干扰较强的组网环境下,解决小区边缘用户下行频谱效率和下行吞吐率受限于相邻小区间干扰的问题,从而提升小区边缘用户吞吐率,改善高速业务覆盖。In the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, the same-frequency networking technology is used to improve the spectrum utilization. This requires the introduction of downlink interference control technology and downlink coordinated multi-point transmission (Downlink Coordinated Multiple Points Transmission). The DL CoMP technology is introduced as a downlink co-channel interference control technology. By coordinating the configuration of time-frequency resources, power resources, and airspace resources of multiple cells, the DL CoMP technology can solve the cell in a network with strong downlink interference between the same-frequency cells. The downlink spectrum efficiency and downlink throughput of edge users are limited by the problem of interference between adjacent cells, thereby improving the throughput of cell edge users and improving high-speed service coverage.
从实现方式上,DL CoMP技术包括四种模式,分别为联合传输(Joint Transmit,JT)模式、动态节点功率置零(Dynamic Point Blanking,DPB)模式、动态节点选择(Dynamic Piont Selection,DPS)模式和协作波束赋形(Coordinated Beamforming,CBF)模式。对于这四种DL CoMP模式,现有R8/R9/R10的用户设备(User Equipment,UE)是基于小区参考信号(cell-specific reference signal,CRS)或信道状态信息测量参考信号(Channel State Information Reference Signal,CSI-RS)进行信道质量指标(Channel Quality Indicator,CQI)测量,由于UE没有基于UE对应的CoMP模式测量CQI,导致UE无法精准测量UE对应的CoMP模式下的CQI。第三代合作项目 (3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)R11协议中提出一种传输模式TM10,该传输模式通过增加多套信道状态信息(Channel State information,CSI)测量配置来增强DL CoMP几种模式下的CQI测量,通过该传输模式虽然能够测量部分DL CoMP下的CQI,但会大大增加导频信号的开销。In terms of implementation, DL CoMP technology includes four modes, namely Joint Transmit (JT) mode, Dynamic Point Blanking (DPB) mode, and Dynamic Piont Selection (DPS) mode. And Coordinated Beamforming (CBF) mode. For the four DL CoMP modes, the existing R8/R9/R10 User Equipment (UE) is based on a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or channel state information measurement reference signal (Channel State Information Reference). Signal, CSI-RS) performs channel quality indicator (CQI) measurement. Since the UE does not measure the CQI based on the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE, the UE cannot accurately measure the CQI in the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE. Third generation cooperation project (3rd Generation Partnership Project, 3GPP) The R11 protocol proposes a transmission mode TM10, which enhances CQI measurement in several modes of DL CoMP by adding multiple sets of Channel State information (CSI) measurement configurations. Although the transmission mode can measure the CQI under part of DL CoMP, it greatly increases the overhead of the pilot signal.
综上所述,由于现有R8/R9/R10的UE无法精准测量UE对应的CoMP模式下的CQI,现有R11/R12的UE能够测量部分DL CoMP下的CQI,但增加的下行导频信号开销过大,因此在无需增加下行导频信号开销的情况下,UE无法向基站上报精准的CQI。In summary, since the existing R8/R9/R10 UE cannot accurately measure the CQI in the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE, the existing R11/R12 UE can measure the CQI under part of the DL CoMP, but the added downlink pilot signal The overhead is too large, so the UE cannot report the accurate CQI to the base station without increasing the overhead of the downlink pilot signal.

这样,UE向基站上报的CQI瞬时值是UE基于第n个子帧对应的COMP模式测量得到的,UE测量的CQI瞬时值与第n个子帧对应的COMP模式保持一致,并且UE采用非周期上报CQI的方式,因此能够实现UE向基站上报第n个子帧UE对应的COMP模式下精准的CQI。In this way, the CQI instantaneous value reported by the UE to the base station is measured by the UE based on the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe, and the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE is consistent with the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe, and the UE adopts the aperiodic reporting CQI. In this way, the UE can report the accurate CQI in the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE to the base station.

这样,第二信息指示UE测量CQI瞬时值的测量带宽,该测量带宽为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽,进而UE根据第二信息指示的测量带宽进行CQI瞬时值。In this way, the second information indicates that the UE measures the measurement bandwidth of the CQI instantaneous value, and the measurement bandwidth is the scheduling bandwidth of the base station performing CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe, and the UE performs the CQI instantaneous value according to the measurement bandwidth indicated by the second information.
结合第一方面的第一种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第二种可能的实现方式中,调度信息还包括第三信息,第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行波束赋形BF模式的传输调度;With reference to the first possible implementation manner of the first aspect, in a second possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the scheduling information further includes third information, where the third information is used to indicate that the UE performs beam assignment in the nth subframe. Transmission scheduling of the BF mode;
UE在第n个子帧测量调度带宽下的CQI瞬时值,包括:The CQI instantaneous value of the UE in the nth subframe measurement scheduling bandwidth, including:
UE在第n个子帧测量基于BF模式的调度带宽上解调参考信号DMRS的CQI瞬时值。The UE demodulates the CQI instantaneous value of the reference signal DMRS on the BF mode-based scheduling bandwidth in the nth subframe measurement.
这样,第三信息指示UE测量CQI瞬时值的子载波位置,该子载波位置为BF模式的调度带宽上的DMRS,进而UE根据第三信息指示的子载波位置进行CQI瞬时值。In this way, the third information indicates that the UE measures the subcarrier position of the CQI instantaneous value, and the subcarrier position is the DMRS on the scheduling bandwidth of the BF mode, and the UE performs the CQI instantaneous value according to the subcarrier position indicated by the third information.
结合第一方面,在第三种可能的实现方式中,UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值,包括:With reference to the first aspect, in a third possible implementation manner, the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, including:
UE在第n个子帧测量系统全带宽下的CQI瞬时值。The UE measures the CQI instantaneous value at the full bandwidth of the system in the nth subframe.
结合第一方面的第三种可能的实现方式,在第一方面的第四种可能的实现方式中,调度信息还包括第三信息,第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行波束赋形BF模式的传输调度;In conjunction with the third possible implementation of the first aspect, in a fourth possible implementation manner of the first aspect, the scheduling information further includes third information, where the third information is used to indicate that the UE performs beam assignment in the nth subframe. Transmission scheduling of the BF mode;
UE在第n个子帧测量系统全带宽下的CQI瞬时值,包括:The CQI instantaneous value of the UE in the n-th subframe measurement system full bandwidth, including:
UE在第n个子帧测量基于BF模式的系统全带宽上小区参考信号CRS的CQI瞬时值。The UE measures the CQI instantaneous value of the cell reference signal CRS on the full bandwidth of the BF mode based system in the nth subframe.
这样,第三信息指示UE测量CQI瞬时值的子载波位置,该子载波位置为BF模式的系统全带宽上的CRS,进而UE根据第二信息指示的子载波位置进行CQI瞬时值。In this way, the third information indicates that the UE measures the subcarrier position of the CQI instantaneous value, and the subcarrier position is the CRS on the full bandwidth of the system in the BF mode, and the UE performs the CQI instantaneous value according to the subcarrier position indicated by the second information.
上述两种UE测量CQI瞬时值的方式中,第一种UE在基站指示的测量带 宽上测量CQI瞬时值,第二种UE默认在系统全带宽上测量CQI瞬时值。相对于第二种测量方式,第一种测量方式缩小了测量带宽范围,使得测量的CQI瞬时值更加精准,同时随着测量带宽范围的缩小,降低了测量开销。In the manner in which the above two UEs measure the instantaneous value of the CQI, the measurement band indicated by the first UE at the base station The CQI instantaneous value is measured on the width, and the second UE defaults to measure the CQI instantaneous value on the full bandwidth of the system. Compared with the second measurement method, the first measurement method narrows the measurement bandwidth range, making the measured CQI instantaneous value more accurate, and reducing the measurement overhead as the measurement bandwidth range is reduced.

这样,基站接收UE上报的CQI瞬时值是UE基于第n个子帧对应的COMP模式测量得到的,UE测量的CQI瞬时值与第n个子帧对应的COMP模式保持一致,并且UE采用非周期上报CQI的方式,因此能够实现基站确定第n个子帧UE对应的COMP模式下精准的CQI。进而基站可以利用UE上报的该CQI瞬时值进行调度调制编码方式(Modulation and coding scheme,MCS)的选择,使得选择的MCS与第n个子帧的信道相匹配,最大化用户的吞吐量。基站也可以利用UE上报的该CQI瞬时值进行其它子帧(其它子帧对应的CoMP模式与第n个子帧对应的CoMP模式相同)上MCS选择,从而在增强UE测量CQI的精准度的同时,提升边缘用户的吞吐量。In this way, the CQI instantaneous value reported by the base station to receive the UE is measured by the UE based on the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe, and the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE is consistent with the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe, and the UE adopts the aperiodic reporting CQI. In this way, the base station can determine the accurate CQI in the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE. In addition, the base station can use the CQI instantaneous value reported by the UE to perform a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection, so that the selected MCS matches the channel of the nth subframe, and the user's throughput is maximized. The base station may also use the CQI instantaneous value reported by the UE to perform MCS selection on other subframes (the CoMP mode corresponding to the other subframes is the same as the CoMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe), so that the enhanced UE measures the accuracy of the CQI. Increase the throughput of edge users.

这样,基站通过第二信息指示UE测量CQI瞬时值的测量带宽,该测量带宽为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽,进而UE可以根据第二信息指示的测量带宽进行CQI瞬时值。In this way, the base station instructs the UE to measure the measurement bandwidth of the CQI instantaneous value by using the second information, where the measurement bandwidth is the scheduling bandwidth of the base station performing the CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe, and the UE may perform the CQI according to the measurement bandwidth indicated by the second information.

这样,基站通过第三信息指示UE测量CQI瞬时值的子载波位置,该子载波位置为BF模式的调度带宽上的DMRS或BF模式的系统全带宽上的CRS,进而UE根据第三信息指示的子载波位置进行CQI瞬时值。In this way, the base station indicates, by using the third information, the UE to measure the subcarrier position of the CQI instantaneous value, where the subcarrier position is the CRS on the full bandwidth of the DMRS or BF mode on the scheduling bandwidth of the BF mode, and then the UE indicates according to the third information.

具体实施方式detailed description
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.
本发明实施例提供一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法及装置,用以在无需增加下行导频信号开销的情况下,实现协作多点通信中UE向基站上报精准的CQI。其中,方法和装置是基于同一发明构思的,由于方法及装置解决问题的原理相似,因此装置与方法的实施可以相互参见,重复之处不再赘述。The embodiment of the invention provides a method and a device for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in cooperative multi-point communication, so as to implement a coordinated CQI for a UE to perform coordinated multi-point communication without increasing the downlink pilot signal overhead. The method and the device are based on the same inventive concept. Since the principles of the method and the device for solving the problem are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can be referred to each other, and the repeated description is not repeated.
本发明实施例提供的技术方案涉及下行协作多点发送DL CoMP技术,LTE系统中通过采用同频组网技术来提高频谱利用率,这就要求在同频小区间引入下行干扰控制技术,DL CoMP技术作为一种下行同频干扰控制技术引入,通过协调配置多个小区的时频资源、功率资源、空域资源,能够在同频小区间下行干扰较强的组网环境下,解决小区边缘用户下行频谱效率和下行吞吐率受限于相邻小区间干扰的问题,从而提升小区边缘用户吞吐率,改善高速业务覆盖。The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention relates to downlink cooperative multi-point transmission DL CoMP technology, and the LTE system adopts the same frequency networking technology to improve spectrum utilization, which requires introducing downlink interference control technology between the same frequency cells, DL CoMP. The technology is introduced as a downlink co-channel interference control technology. By coordinating the configuration of time-frequency resources, power resources, and air-space resources of multiple cells, the downlink user of the cell can be resolved in a network with strong downlink interference between the same-frequency cells. Spectrum efficiency and downlink throughput are limited by the problem of interference between adjacent cells, thereby improving the throughput of cell edge users and improving high-speed service coverage.
从实现方式上,DL CoMP技术包括四种模式,分别为联合传输JT模式、动态节点功率置零DPB模式、动态节点选择DPS模式和协作波束赋形CBF模式。In terms of implementation, the DL CoMP technology includes four modes, namely, joint transmission JT mode, dynamic node power zero DPB mode, dynamic node selection DPS mode, and cooperative beamforming CBF mode.
其中,图1(a)所示为DPS模式的传输示意图,在DPS模式中,UE从CoMP协作集里选择信号质量最好的小区进行物理下行链路共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,PDSCH)传输,与UE进行PDSCH传输的小区可以在每个子帧上变换。图1(b)所示为DPB模式的传输示意图,在DPB模式中,一个小区与UE进行数据传输时,CoMP协作集中的其他小区保持静默,以减少其他小区对该UE产生干扰。图1(c)所示为JT模式的传输示意图,在JT模式中,UE与多个小区(CoMP协作集的部分小区或全部小区)进行PDSCH传输,以提高UE接收信号的质量。图1(d)所示为CBF模式的传输示意图,在CBF模式中,待传输给UE的数据仅仅存在于CoMP协作集里的一个小区上,CoMP协作集中的多个小区共同决定如何调度和如何进行波束赋形,以有效地控制协作区域内对UE产生的干扰。FIG. 1(a) is a schematic diagram of transmission in the DPS mode. In the DPS mode, the UE selects a cell with the best signal quality from the CoMP cooperating set to perform Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission. The cell that performs PDSCH transmission with the UE may be transformed in each subframe. Figure 1 (b) shows a transmission diagram of the DPB mode. In the DPB mode, when a cell performs data transmission with the UE, other cells in the CoMP cooperation set remain silent to reduce interference of other cells to the UE. FIG. 1(c) shows a transmission diagram of the JT mode. In the JT mode, the UE performs PDSCH transmission with multiple cells (partial cells or all cells of the CoMP cooperating set) to improve the quality of the received signal of the UE. Figure 1 (d) shows the transmission diagram of the CBF mode. In the CBF mode, the data to be transmitted to the UE exists only in one cell in the CoMP cooperating set, and multiple cells in the CoMP cooperation set jointly decide how to schedule and how Beamforming is performed to effectively control interference to the UE within the cooperative area.
可将上述四种模式按照协同方式不同分为两大类,第一类为联合处理 (Joint Processing,JP)模式,包括JT模式、DPB模式和DPS,第二类为协作调度(Coordinated Scheduling,CS)模式,包括CBF模式。The above four modes can be divided into two categories according to the synergistic manner, and the first type is joint processing. (Joint Processing, JP) mode, including JT mode, DPB mode and DPS, and the second type is Coordinated Scheduling (CS) mode, including CBF mode.
基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式的调度,该CoMP模式可以为JT模式、DPB模式、DPS模式和CBF模式中的一种模式,UE需要测量并上报第n个子帧对应的CoMP模式下的CQI,基站利用UE上报的CQI进行调度调制编码方式(Modulation and coding scheme,MCS)的选择,使得选择的MCS与第n个子帧的信道相匹配,最大化用户的吞吐量。The base station performs the CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe. The CoMP mode may be one of the JT mode, the DPB mode, the DPS mode, and the CBF mode. The UE needs to measure and report the CoMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe. The CQI, the base station uses the CQI reported by the UE to perform a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) selection, so that the selected MCS matches the channel of the nth subframe, thereby maximizing the throughput of the user.
本发明实施例提供的一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法,基站向UE发送调度信息;UE根据该调度信息的指示,测量第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值,采用非周期上报的方式,即在第n+K个子帧向基站上报测量的CQI瞬时值,第n个子帧为基站对UE进行CoMP模式调度所在的子帧,由于该CQI瞬时值是UE基于第n个子帧对应的COMP模式测量得到的,UE测量的CQI瞬时值与第n个子帧对应的COMP模式保持一致,因此本发明实施例提供的技术方案能够实现UE向基站上报第n个子帧UE对应的COMP模式下精准的CQI。A method for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in a coordinated multipoint communication according to an embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends scheduling information to the UE, and the UE measures the instantaneous value of the CQI of the nth subframe according to the indication of the scheduling information, and uses the aperiodic reporting. The method is to report the measured CQI instantaneous value to the base station in the n+th subframe, where the nth subframe is a subframe in which the base station performs CoMP mode scheduling on the UE, and the instantaneous value of the CQI is the UE corresponding to the nth subframe. The COMP mode is measured, and the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE is consistent with the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe. Therefore, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can implement the accuracy of the UE in the COMP mode corresponding to the UE in the nth subframe. CQI.
实施例一Embodiment 1
如图2所示,在UE侧,本发明实施例提供一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法,包括:As shown in FIG. 2, on the UE side, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in coordinated multipoint communication, including:
S201、UE接收基站发送的调度信息,该调度信息包括第一信息,该第一信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值、第n+K个子帧上报CQI瞬时值,n为正整数,K为预设值,第n个子帧为基站对UE进行多点协作发送CoMP模式调度所在的子帧;S201. The UE receives the scheduling information sent by the base station, where the scheduling information includes first information, where the first information is used to indicate that the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, and reports the CQI instantaneous value in the n+K subframes, where n is positive. An integer, K is a preset value, and the nth subframe is a subframe in which the base station performs coordinated multi-point transmission of the CoMP mode by the base station;
S202、UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值,并在第n+K个子帧向基站上报CQI瞬时值。S202. The UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, and reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in the n+Kth subframe.
本实施例中,UE在第n个子帧上接受基站的CoMP模式的调度,该CoMP模式可以为JT模式、DPB模式、DPS模式和CBF模式中的一种模式。基站确定第n个子帧的CQI的方法如图2所示,主要包括:UE接收基站发送的调 度信息,UE根据该调度信息,在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值,并在第n+K个子帧向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。In this embodiment, the UE receives the scheduling of the CoMP mode of the base station in the nth subframe, and the CoMP mode may be one of the JT mode, the DPB mode, the DPS mode, and the CBF mode. The method for the base station to determine the CQI of the nth subframe is as shown in FIG. 2, and mainly includes: the UE receives the tone transmitted by the base station. And the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe according to the scheduling information, and reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in the n+Kth subframe.
基站在不同的子帧可能对UE进行不同的CoMP模式的调度,本实施例中UE测量的CQI瞬时值对应第n个子帧,可以保证该CQI瞬时值与其他子帧的CQI瞬时值是相互独立的,由于CQI瞬时值是UE基于第n个子帧UE对应的CoMP模式测量的到的,因此通过本实施例的技术方案能够实现UE向基站上报第n个子帧UE对应的COMP模式下精准的CQI。The base station may perform different CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in different subframes. In this embodiment, the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE corresponds to the nth subframe, and the CQI instantaneous value and the CQI instantaneous value of other subframes are mutually independent. The CQI instantaneous value is measured by the UE in the CoMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE. Therefore, the technical solution of the embodiment can implement the UE to report the accurate CQI in the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE. .
本实施例中采用非周期上报的方式上报CQI瞬时值,即UE在第n+K个子帧向基站上报第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值。现有的LTE协议中定义CQI上报方式有周期上报CQI和非周期上报CQI两种,其中,周期上报CQI是指UE利用入网时分配的固定物理上行链路控制信道(Physical Uplink Control CHannel,PUCCH)资源进行周期性上报CQI,非周期上报CQI是指UE在第n个子帧触发非周期上报请求、在第n+K个子帧利用PUSCH上报CQI。由于周期上报CQI方式中没有明确上报的CQI是在哪些子帧上测量的,而非周期上报CQI方式中明确了非周期上报的CQI是在触发非周期上报请求的子帧上测量的,使得非周期上报的CQI与在测量CQI的子帧上基站对UE进行的COMP模式调度一致。因此,为了实现UE上报的CQI与第n个子帧基站对UE进行的CoMP模式调度一致,本实施例中采用非周期上报CQI的方式。In this embodiment, the CQI instantaneous value is reported in a non-periodic reporting manner, that is, the UE reports the CQI instantaneous value of the nth subframe to the base station in the n+Kth subframe. In the existing LTE protocol, the CQI reporting method includes a periodic reporting CQI and a non-periodic reporting CQI. The periodic reporting CQI refers to a fixed physical uplink control channel (Physical Uplink Control CHannel, PUCCH) allocated by the UE when using the network. The resource periodically reports the CQI, and the aperiodic reporting of the CQI means that the UE triggers the aperiodic reporting request in the nth subframe, and reports the CQI in the n+K subframes by using the PUSCH. The CQIs that are not reported in the cyclically reported CQI mode are measured on the subframes, and the CQIs that are not reported in the periodic reporting CQI mode are measured on the subframes that trigger the aperiodic reporting request. The periodically reported CQI is consistent with the COMP mode scheduling performed by the base station to the UE on the subframe in which the CQI is measured. Therefore, in order to achieve that the CQI reported by the UE is consistent with the CoMP mode scheduling performed by the base station in the nth subframe, the CQI is reported in a non-period manner.
本实施例中,UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值时,基于基站在第n个子进行的CoMP模式的调度,UE在测量带宽上分别测量有用信号强度和干扰噪声信号强度,其中,有用信号强度为UE在测量带宽上测量的多个有用信号强度的平均值,干扰噪声信号强度为UE在测量带宽上测量的多个干扰噪声信号强度的平均值;UE计算信号与干扰加噪声比(Signalto Interference plus NoiseRatio,SINR),SINR=有用信号强度/干扰噪声信号强度;UE根据SINR与CQI的对应关系确定SINR对应的CQI,该CQI即为UE在第n个子帧测量的CQI瞬时值。In this embodiment, when the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, based on the scheduling of the CoMP mode performed by the base station in the nth subframe, the UE measures the useful signal strength and the interference noise signal strength respectively on the measurement bandwidth, where the useful signal The intensity is the average of the plurality of useful signal strengths measured by the UE over the measurement bandwidth, the interference noise signal strength is the average of the plurality of interference noise signal strengths measured by the UE over the measurement bandwidth; the UE calculates the signal to interference plus noise ratio (Signalto Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), SINR = useful signal strength / interference noise signal strength; the UE determines the CQI corresponding to the SINR according to the correspondence between the SINR and the CQI, which is the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE in the nth subframe.
基站在不同子帧对UE进行不同的CoMP模式的调度,UE测量的有用信 号强度和干扰噪声信号强度不同,因此UE计算得到的SINR不同,进而SINR对应的CQI也不同。例如:如图1(a)所示,基站在第n个子帧对UE进行DPS模式的调度,当传输点(Transmission Point,TP)1与UE进行PDSCH传输时,UE测量的有用信号强度为S1、干扰噪声信号强度为I2+N,第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR1=S1/(I2+N);当TP2与UE进行PDSCH传输时,UE测量的有用信号强度为S2、干扰噪声信号强度为I1+N,第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR2=S2/(I1+N)。如图1(b)所示,基站在第n个子帧对UE进行DPB模式的调度,当TP2静默时,UE测量的有用信号强度为S1、干扰噪声信号强度为N,第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR3=S1/N。如图1(c)所示,基站在第n个子帧对UE进行JT模式的调度,当TP1和TP2同时向UE发送有用信号时,UE测量的有用信号强度为S1+S2、干扰噪声信号强度为N,第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR4=(S1+S2)/N。其中,S1为UE接收到TP1的有用信号,S2为UE接收到TP2的有用信号,I1为UE接收到TP1的干扰信号,I2为UE接收到TP2的干扰信号,N为噪声。The base station performs different CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in different subframes, and the useful information measured by the UE The signal strength and the interference noise signal strength are different, so the SINR calculated by the UE is different, and the CQI corresponding to the SINR is also different. For example, as shown in FIG. 1( a ), the base station performs DPS mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe. When the transmission point (TP) 1 and the UE perform PDSCH transmission, the useful signal strength measured by the UE is S1. The interference noise signal strength is I2+N, and the SQ1=S1/(I2+N) corresponding to the CQI instantaneous value of the nth subframe; when the TP2 and the UE perform PDSCH transmission, the useful signal strength measured by the UE is S2, and the interference noise The signal strength is I1+N, and the CQI instantaneous value of the nth subframe corresponds to SINR2=S2/(I1+N). As shown in FIG. 1(b), the base station performs DPB mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe. When TP2 is silent, the useful signal strength measured by the UE is S1, the interference noise signal strength is N, and the CQI of the nth subframe. The instantaneous value corresponds to SINR3=S1/N. As shown in FIG. 1(c), the base station performs scheduling in the JT mode in the nth subframe. When TP1 and TP2 simultaneously send useful signals to the UE, the useful signal strength measured by the UE is S1+S2, and the interference noise signal strength is For N, the CQI instantaneous value of the nth subframe corresponds to SINR4=(S1+S2)/N. Wherein, S1 is a useful signal that the UE receives the TP1, S2 is a useful signal that the UE receives the TP2, I1 is an interference signal that the UE receives the TP1, and I2 is an interference signal that the UE receives the TP2, where N is noise.
本实施例中,UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值时,可以有如下两种方式:In this embodiment, when the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, the UE may have the following two modes:
方式一:当UE接收的调度信息中还包括第二信息,该第二信息为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽时,UE测量在第n个子帧UE对应CoMP模式的调度带宽下的CQI瞬时值。将该调度带宽作为UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值时的测量带宽。Manner 1: When the scheduling information received by the UE further includes the second information, where the second information is the scheduling bandwidth of the base station performing the CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe, the UE measures the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE in the nth subframe. The instantaneous value of the CQI under the scheduled bandwidth. The scheduling bandwidth is used as a measurement bandwidth when the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe.
举例说明,以UE在第n个子帧对应的CoMP模式的调度带宽为40资源块(Resource Block,RB)为例,假设UE在每个RB上测量一个有用信号强度和一个干扰噪声信号强度,共测量得到40个有用信号强度和40个干扰噪声信号强度,分别计算有用信号强度的平均值和干扰噪声信号强度的平均值,再将有用信号强度的平均值与干扰噪声信号强度的平均值做商得到SINR,进而确定SINR对应的CQI,该CQI为UE测量的第n个子帧UE对应CoMP模式的调度带宽下的CQI瞬时值。UE测量有用信号强度和干扰噪声信号强度的粒度还可以为RB的子载波。 For example, the UE uses a resource block (Resource Block, RB) in the CoMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe as an example, and assumes that the UE measures a useful signal strength and an interference noise signal strength on each RB. 40 useful signal strengths and 40 interfering noise signal intensities are measured, and the average of the useful signal strength and the average of the interfering noise signal strength are calculated respectively, and the average of the useful signal strength is compared with the average of the interfering noise signal strength. The SINR is obtained, and then the CQI corresponding to the SINR is determined, and the CQI is the CQI instantaneous value of the scheduling bandwidth of the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE in the nth subframe. The granularity at which the UE measures the useful signal strength and the interference noise signal strength may also be a subcarrier of the RB.
可选的,当UE接收的调度信息中还包括第三信息,该第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行波束赋形(Beamforming,BF)模式的传输调度时,UE在第n个子帧测量基于BF模式的调度带宽上解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Symbol,DMRS)的CQI瞬时值。Optionally, when the scheduling information received by the UE further includes third information, where the third information is used to indicate that the UE performs the beamforming (Beamforming, BF) mode transmission scheduling in the nth subframe, the UE is in the nth sub-sub The frame measurement is based on the CQI instantaneous value of the Demodulation Reference Symbol (DMRS) on the scheduling bandwidth of the BF mode.
通常情况下,基站对UE进行的CoMP模式调度为JT模式调度时,UE进行BF模式的传输调度;基站对UE进行的CoMP模式调度为除JT模式外的其他三种模式调度时,UE进行BF模式或多输入多输出(multple input multiple output,MIMO)模式的传输调度。Generally, when the CoMP mode scheduled by the base station to the UE is scheduled in the JT mode, the UE performs the BF mode transmission scheduling; when the base station performs the CoMP mode scheduling on the UE for the other three modes except the JT mode, the UE performs the BF. Mode or multi-input multiple output (MIMO) mode transmission scheduling.
当UE进行BF模式的传输调度时,BF模式对应的子载波包括DMRS和小区参考信号(Cell Reference signals,CRS);当UE进行MIMO模式的传输调度时,BF模式对应的子载波仅包括DMRS。若调度信息中包括第二信息和第三信息,则UE测量CQI瞬时值的子载波位置在于DMRS。When the UE performs transmission scheduling in the BF mode, the subcarriers corresponding to the BF mode include DMRS and Cell Reference Signals (CRS); when the UE performs transmission scheduling in the MIMO mode, the subcarriers corresponding to the BF mode include only the DMRS. If the second information and the third information are included in the scheduling information, the subcarrier position at which the UE measures the instantaneous value of the CQI is in the DMRS.
方式二:UE默认在第n个子帧测量系统全带宽下的CQI瞬时值,即将系统全带宽作为UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值时的测量带宽。Manner 2: The UE defaults to the CQI instantaneous value in the n-th subframe measurement system full bandwidth, that is, the system full bandwidth is used as the measurement bandwidth when the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe.
举例说明,以系统全带宽为100RB为例,假设UE在每个RB上测量一个有用信号强度和一个干扰噪声信号强度,共测量得到100个有用信号强度和100个干扰噪声信号强度,分别计算有用信号强度的平均值和干扰噪声信号强度的平均值,再将有用信号强度的平均值与干扰噪声信号强度的平均值做商得到SINR,进而确定SINR对应的CQI,该CQI为UE测量的第n个子帧系统全带宽下的CQI瞬时值。UE测量有用信号强度和干扰噪声信号强度的粒度还可以为RB的子载波。For example, taking the system full bandwidth as 100 RB as an example, assume that the UE measures a useful signal strength and an interference noise signal strength on each RB, and obtains 100 useful signal strengths and 100 interference noise signal strengths, which are respectively calculated and useful. The average of the signal strength and the average of the interference noise signal strength, and then the average of the useful signal strength and the average of the interference noise signal strength are used to obtain the SINR, thereby determining the CQI corresponding to the SINR, which is the nth measured by the UE. The instantaneous value of the CQI at full bandwidth of the sub-frame system. The granularity at which the UE measures the useful signal strength and the interference noise signal strength may also be a subcarrier of the RB.
可选的,当UE接收的调度信息中包括第三信息,该第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行BF模式的传输调度时,UE在第n个子帧测量基于BF模式下系统全带宽的CRS的CQI瞬时值,即UE测量CQI瞬时值的子载波位置在于CRS。Optionally, when the scheduling information received by the UE includes the third information, where the third information is used to indicate that the UE performs the BF mode transmission scheduling in the nth subframe, the UE measures the system based on the BF mode in the nth subframe. The CQI instantaneous value of the bandwidth CRS, that is, the subcarrier position at which the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value lies in the CRS.
上述两种方式中,UE测量的CQI瞬时值均是基于第n个子帧UE对应的CoMP模式。较佳地,方式一中UE测量在第n个子帧UE对应CoMP模式的 调度带宽下的CQI瞬时值,相对于方式二,方式一缩小了测量带宽范围,使得测量的CQI瞬时值更加精准,同时随着测量带宽范围的缩小,降低了测量开销。In the above two modes, the CQI instantaneous values measured by the UE are all based on the CoMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE. Preferably, in the first mode, the UE measures the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE in the nth subframe. The CQI instantaneous value under the scheduling bandwidth is reduced relative to the second mode. The first method reduces the measurement bandwidth range, so that the measured CQI instantaneous value is more accurate, and the measurement overhead is reduced as the measurement bandwidth range is reduced.
本实施例中,UE采用非周期上报的方式向基站上报CQI瞬时值,即UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值后,并不立即向基站上报该CQI瞬时值,而是等待K个子帧,即在第n+K个子帧才向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。对于频分双工(Frequency division duplex,FDD)系统K的取值为4,时分双工(Time division duplex,TDD)系统中配比0-6下K的取值如下表一所示。In this embodiment, the UE reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in a non-periodic reporting manner. After the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the nth subframe, the UE does not immediately report the CQI instantaneous value to the base station, but waits for K subframes. That is, the CQI instantaneous value is reported to the base station in the n+Kth subframe. For the frequency division duplex (FDD) system, the value of K is 4, and the value of K in the time division duplex (TDD) system at 0-6 is shown in Table 1.

本实施例中,UE可以结合触发非周期上报的下行控制信息(Downlink Control Information,DCI)格式字段中信道状态信息(Channel State information,CSI)请求(request)指示向基站上报CQI瞬时值。DCI格式字段中CSI request取值含义如下:In this embodiment, the UE may report the CQI instantaneous value to the base station by using a Channel State information (CSI) request (request) in the Downlink Control Information (DCI) format field. The meaning of the CSI request value in the DCI format field is as follows:
CSI request取值为00,表示UE不触发非周期CQI上报;The value of the CSI request is 00, indicating that the UE does not trigger the aperiodic CQI report.
CSI request取值为01,表示只在单个服务小区的场景下UE才触发非周期CQI上报;The value of the CSI request is 01, indicating that the UE triggers the aperiodic CQI report only in the scenario of a single serving cell.
CSI request取值为10或者11,表示只在多个服务小区的场景下UE才触发非周期CQI上报。 The value of the CSI request is 10 or 11, indicating that the UE triggers the aperiodic CQI reporting only in the scenario of multiple serving cells.
为进一步保证CQI测量的准确性,本实施例中对上述DCI格式字段中针对单个服务小区的场景的CSI request取值含义进行进一步定义,具体如下:To further ensure the accuracy of the CQI measurement, in this embodiment, the meaning of the value of the CSI request for the scenario of the single serving cell in the DCI format field is further defined, as follows:
CSI request取值为10时,UE在单个或多个服务小区的场景下触发非周期上报CQI。若UE接收的调度信息中包括第二信息,该第二信息为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽,则UE测量在第n个子帧UE对应CoMP模式的调度带宽下的CQI瞬时值;否则,UE默认在第n个子帧测量系统全带宽下的CQI瞬时值。When the value of the CSI request is 10, the UE triggers the acyclic reporting CQI in the scenario of a single or multiple serving cells. If the scheduling information received by the UE includes the second information, where the second information is the scheduling bandwidth of the CoMP mode scheduled by the base station in the nth subframe, the UE measures the scheduling bandwidth of the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE in the nth subframe. CQI instantaneous value; otherwise, the UE defaults to the CQI instantaneous value at the full bandwidth of the nth subframe measurement system.
CSI request取值为11时,UE在单个或多个服务小区的场景下触发非周期上报CQI。若UE接收的调度信息中包括第二信息和第三信息,该第二信息为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽,该第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行BF模式的传输调度,则UE在第n个子帧测量在BF模式的调度带宽上DMRS的CQI瞬时值;否则,UE在第n个子帧测量系统全带宽上CRS的CQI瞬时值。When the value of the CSI request is 11, the UE triggers the acyclic reporting CQI in the scenario of a single or multiple serving cells. If the scheduling information received by the UE includes the second information and the third information, the second information is a scheduling bandwidth of the base station performing CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe, where the third information is used to indicate that the UE is in the nth subframe. The BF mode transmission scheduling is performed, and the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value of the DMRS on the scheduling bandwidth of the BF mode in the nth subframe; otherwise, the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value of the CRS on the entire bandwidth of the system in the nth subframe.
如图3所示,与UE侧对应的,在基站侧,本发明实施例提供一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法,包括:As shown in FIG. 3, corresponding to the UE side, on the base station side, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in coordinated multipoint communication, including:
S301、基站向UE发送调度信息,该调度信息包括第一信息,该第一信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧测量CQI瞬时值、在第n+K个子帧上报CQI瞬时值,n为正整数,K为预设值,第n个子帧为基站对UE进行多点协作发送CoMP模式调度所在的子帧;S301.

An integer, K is a preset value, and the nth subframe is a subframe in which the base station performs coordinated multi-point transmission of the CoMP mode by the base station;
S302、基站接收UE在第n+K个子帧上报的CQI瞬时值。S302. The base station receives the CQI instantaneous value reported by the UE in the n+Kth subframe.
本实施例中,基站向UE发送的调度信息还可以包括第二信息和/或第三信息,第二信息为基站在第n个子帧对UE进行CoMP模式调度的调度带宽,第三信息用于指示UE在第n个子帧进行BF模式的传输调度。UE接收到该调度信息后的具体操作可参见UE侧实施例,此处不再赘述。In this embodiment, the scheduling information sent by the base station to the UE may further include the second information and/or the third information, where the second information is a scheduling bandwidth in which the base station performs CoMP mode scheduling on the UE in the nth subframe, and the third information is used. The UE is instructed to perform transmission scheduling of the BF mode in the nth subframe. For the specific operation of the UE after receiving the scheduling information, refer to the embodiment on the UE side, and details are not described herein again.
结合图2和图3所示的技术方案,举例说明本发明实施例提供的一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法: With reference to the technical solutions shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a method for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in cooperative multipoint communication according to an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated:
如图4所示,基站在子帧#3D(子帧#3D表示3号下行子帧,以下同理)对UE进行DPB模式的调度,基站向UE发送调度信息,该调度信息中指示UE在子帧#3D测量CQI瞬时值、以及在子帧#7U向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。UE根据该调度信息执行操作,即UE在子帧#3D测量CQI瞬时值、以及在子帧#7U向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。As shown in FIG. 4, the base station performs scheduling in the DPB mode on the UE in subframe #3D (subframe #3D indicates the downlink subframe No. 3, the same applies hereinafter), and the base station sends scheduling information to the UE, where the scheduling information indicates that the UE is in Subframe #3D measures the CQI instantaneous value and reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in subframe #7U. The UE performs an operation according to the scheduling information, that is, the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in subframe #3D, and reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in subframe #7U.
在DPB模式传输过程中,TP1对UE发送有用信号,TP2不会发送干扰信号,则UE测量的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR3=S1/N,且该SINR3不会参与子帧#3D的前后子帧的CQI滤波,因此UE测量的SINR3对应的CQI瞬时值与在子帧#3D上UE对应的CoMP模式一致。可选的,在其它子帧(区别于子帧#3D)上基站对UE也进行DPB模式的调度时,基站可以利用UE上报的子帧#3D的CQI瞬时值进行其它子帧上MCS的选择,从而在增强UE测量CQI的精准度的同时,提升边缘用户的吞吐量。In the DPB mode transmission process, the TP1 sends a useful signal to the UE, and the TP2 does not transmit the interference signal, the SINR3=S1/N corresponding to the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE, and the SINR3 does not participate in the subframes before and after the subframe #3D. The CQI filtering, so the CQI instantaneous value corresponding to the SINR3 measured by the UE is consistent with the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE on the subframe #3D. Optionally, when the base station performs the DPB mode scheduling on the UE in the other subframes (different from the subframe #3D), the base station may use the CQI instantaneous value of the subframe #3D reported by the UE to perform the MCS selection in the other subframes. Therefore, while enhancing the accuracy of the UE to measure CQI, the throughput of the edge user is improved.
如图5所示,基站在子帧#3D对UE进行JT模式的调度,基站向UE发送调度信息,该调度信息中指示UE在子帧#3D测量CQI瞬时值、以及在子帧#7U向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。UE根据该调度信息执行操作,即UE在子帧#3D测量CQI瞬时值、以及在子帧#7U向基站上报该CQI瞬时值。As shown in FIG. 5, the base station performs scheduling in the JT mode on the UE in the subframe #3D, and the base station sends scheduling information to the UE, where the scheduling information indicates that the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in the subframe #3D, and in the subframe #7U direction. The base station reports the CQI instantaneous value. The UE performs an operation according to the scheduling information, that is, the UE measures the CQI instantaneous value in subframe #3D, and reports the CQI instantaneous value to the base station in subframe #7U.
在JT模式传输过程中,TP1和TP2都会对UE发送有用信号,则UE测量的CQI瞬时值对应的SINR4=(S1+S2)/N,且该SINR4不会参与子帧#3D的前后子帧的CQI滤波,因此UE测量的SINR4对应的CQI瞬时值与在子帧#3D上UE对应的CoMP模式一致。可选的,在其它子帧(区别于子帧#3D)上基站对UE也进行JT模式的调度时,基站可以利用UE上报的子帧#3D的CQI瞬时值进行其它子帧上MCS选择,从而在增强UE测量CQI的精准度的同时,提升边缘用户的吞吐量。In the JT mode transmission process, both TP1 and TP2 send useful signals to the UE, and the SINR4=(S1+S2)/N corresponding to the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE, and the SINR4 does not participate in the subframes before and after the subframe #3D. The CQI filtering, so the CQI instantaneous value corresponding to the SINR4 measured by the UE is consistent with the CoMP mode corresponding to the UE on the subframe #3D. Optionally, when the base station performs the JT mode scheduling on the UE in other subframes (different from the subframe #3D), the base station may perform the MCS selection in the other subframes by using the CQI instantaneous value of the subframe #3D reported by the UE. Thereby, the throughput of the edge user is improved while enhancing the accuracy of the UE measuring the CQI.
通过本发明实施例提供的一种协作多点通信中信道质量指标CQI确定方法,基站向UE发送调度信息;UE根据该调度信息的指示,测量第n个子帧的CQI瞬时值,采用非周期上报的方式,即在第n+K个子帧向基站上报测量的CQI瞬时值,第n个子帧为基站对UE进行CoMP模式调度所在的子帧,由于该CQI 瞬时值是UE基于第n个子帧对应的COMP模式测量得到的,UE测量的CQI瞬时值与第n个子帧对应的COMP模式保持一致,因此本发明实施例提供的技术方案能够实现UE向基站上报第n个子帧UE对应的COMP模式下精准的CQI。The method for determining a channel quality indicator CQI in the coordinated multi-point communication provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the base station sends scheduling information to the UE, and the UE measures the instantaneous value of the CQI of the nth subframe according to the indication of the scheduling information, and uses the aperiodic report. The method, that is, the measured CQI instantaneous value is reported to the base station in the n+Kth subframe, and the nth subframe is a subframe in which the base station performs CoMP mode scheduling on the UE, because the CQI The instantaneous value is measured by the UE based on the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe, and the CQI instantaneous value measured by the UE is consistent with the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe. Therefore, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention can enable the UE to report to the base station. The accurate CQI in the COMP mode corresponding to the nth subframe UE.
