位移导频间隔为1,位移导频循环周期为26个OFDM符号,以前两个符号的两个空时流的导频子载波位置的值为例,那么通过导频序列中的元素与投影矩阵相乘获得,能够得到第一个OFDM符号第一个空时流的导频子载波位置的值,第一个OFDM符号第二个空时流流的导频子载波位置的值,第二个OFDM符号第一个空时流流的导频子载波位置的值,第二个OFDM符号第二个空时流流的导频子载波位置的值,比如上述导频序列中的第一个值1与上述投影矩阵相乘得到的一个矩阵,该矩阵中的值分别对应第一个OFDM符号第一个空时流第6个导频子载波的值,第一个OFDM符号第二个空时流第6个导频子载波的值,第二个OFDM符号第一个空时流的第6个导频子载波的值,第二个OFDM符号第二个空时流的第6个导频子载波的值。

在本发明的一个实施例中,可以通过以下至少之一方法将数据单元发 送给多个站点:单流正交频分多址接入OFDMA方式、多流OFDMA方式、多输入多输出MIMO方式。即实际上,上述方法可以应用于OFDMA或者MU-MIMO的情况。
在本发明实施例中,上述数据单元可以为协议数据单元,但并不限于此,上述步骤的执行主体可以是站点,但并不限于此。
在本发明的一个实施例中,上述步骤S304可以表现为根据所述位移导频信息得到所述数据单元中数据字段中的OFDM符号的导频子载波的位置;根据处于所述位置的所述导频子载波更新所述信道信息。具体可以表现为以下至少之一形式,但并不限于此:(1)通过所述数据单元中前导码中的训练数据得到所述本站点对应的资源单元的初始信道估计;利用所述初始信道估计解析所述数据单元中数据字段中的第一个OFDM符号;以所述第一个OFDM符号作为更新所述初始信道信息的起点,执行以下处理过程,直到更新完所述初始信道估计为止:利用所述数据字段中的第N个OFDM符号的导频子载波估计信道信息,得到第一信道信息;将得到的所述第一信道信息替换所述初始信道估计中与所述第N个OFDM符号对应的信道信息,得到更新后的初始信道估计;其中,所述更新后的初始信道估计用于解析所述数据字段中的第N+1个OFDM符号;其中,1<N<T,N为整数,T为所述位移导频循环周期。(2)通过所述数据单元中前导码中的训练数据得到所述本站点对应的资源单元的初始信道估计;利用所述初始信道估计解调所述数据单元中的数据字段的第1至M个OFDM符号;以所述数据字段中的M个OFDM符号为单位,以所述数据字段的第1至M个OFDM符号为起点,执行以下处理过程,直至更新完所述初始信道估计为止:利用M个OFDM符号的导频子载波分别估计信道信息,得到M个信道信息;将所述M个信道信息替换所述初始信道估计中与所述M个OFDM符号对应的信道信息,得到更新后的初始信道估计;其中,所述更新后的初始信道估计用于解调所述数据字段中的所述M个OFDM符号后的M个OFDM符号;其中,1<M<T,M为整数,T为所述位移导频循环周期。

为了更好地理解本发明,以下结合优选的实施例对本发明做进一步解释。
在一个实施例中,提供了通信系统位移导频的添加方法,在另一个实施例,还提供了发送端生成具有位移导频的多资源块用户数据单元的生成方法,在另一个实施例中接收端通过接收到的数据单元通过循环位移导频进行信道估计以及数据单元的检测。在一种实施方式中,一种用于指示数据单元导频子载波在数据字段符号循环位移的方法,包括数据单元中前导码中的导频子载波循环位移的指示方式,以及导频子载波在数据单元部分每个字段的位移模式。该指示方式是描述单流情况下多个资源快上的位移模式;其中该数据单元包含了前导序列和数据字段,数据字段包含了多个用户资源块,每个资源块都有独立位移导频子载波,每个用户的位移方式指示在前导码中使用多个独立的字段指示。在另一种实施例中每个数据单元包含了多个用户的数据,位移导频子载波是独立于用户的资源块,在数据单元的前导码中,用单个字段进行指示。
在另一种实施方式中,一种用于指示多流数据单元导频子载波在数据字段符号循环移位的方式以及具有循环位移导频的多流数据单元生成方 法。在另一种实施例中包含了多流情况下,数据单元中前导码中独立指示位移导频生成模式,数据单元中数据字段中各个用户资源块多流数据字段的独立生成方式。在另一个实施例中,数据单元中前导码统一指示多个用户资源块数据生成中的导频循环位移模式,数据单元的数据字段多用户资源块统一生成导频循环位移。
上述方案提供了通信系统在多普勒环境中,发送端发送的多用户数据单元在不增加额外开销的情况下,通过多用户之间的位移导频子载波来进行信道估计,应用于数据单元的不同部分,降低物理层的误码率,提高物理层的通信质量。
本发明实施例还提供了一种优选的用于在多用户OFDMA单数据流通信系统中导频位移的指示和导频位移的方法,本方法包括:设置导频子载波指示符以及设置导频子载波的位移,生成数据单元。数据单元前导码中指示符包含了多用户共同信息,所述多用户共同信息指示了参与多用户传输站点的导频位移模式,或者数据单元前导码中的指示信息包含了每个用户信息,每个用户信息指示了参与多用户传输站点的导频位移设置。所述的多用户共同信息包含了导频子载波的位移间隔,导频子载波的位移循环周期,多普勒指示位。所述的每个用户信息包含了导频子载波的位移间隔,导频子载波的位移循环周期,多普勒指示位。所述的用户各自拥有RU资源块,每个RU包含了一个或多个导频子载波。所述数据单元中的数据字段中相邻OFDM符号导频子载波的间隔是根据数据单元指示的导频位移间隔设置为相隔一个或多个子载波。所述生成的数据单元为协议数据单元。
本发明实施例还提供了一种优选的用于生成OFDMA MU-MIMO数据单元方法,本方法包括生成向多个用户包含发送多流数据单元,多用户的导频子载波的位移指示信息,生成多流的导频子载波值。所述的导频位移指示信息包含了相邻数据符号导频子载波的位移间隔,位移导频的循环周期,空时流数目,多普勒指示位。通过导频基序列生成多流导频位移值。所述的用户各自拥有的RU资源块,每个RU包含了导频子载波;所述数 据单元中的数据字段中相邻OFDM符号导频子载波的间隔是根据数据单元指示的导频位移间隔设置为相隔一个或多个子载波。上述数据单元可以协议数据单元。
以下结合几个具体的优选实施例进行说明:
这些优选实施例是针对基于802.11系列协议WLAN的通信系统中使用,主要涉及到物理层生成多用户的数据单元时,导频子载波的设置规则与方法,以及接收端的处理流程。如图1所示,AP同时向多个站点STA发送数据,在该环境可以是复杂的室外环境,AP根据站点反馈的信道信息以及误包率等决定位移导频的需要的参数信息,生成具有位移导频的多用户数据单元,通过MU-MIMO或者OFDMA方式发送到不同的站点。
优选实施例1
在本优选实施例中,由于AP和站点之间有汽车通过,其通信信道发生了变化,但不限于此方式的引起的环境多普勒信道变化,AP通过OFDMA单流方式发送数据单元给多个站点STA,每个站点占用不同的RU,每个RU包含不同数目的正交子载波,不同站点通过OFDMA方式的RU分配如图6所示,图6是根据本发明优选实施例提供的完整带宽的资源块分配的示意图。
AP在数据单元中通过数据单元的前导码中信令字段(eg:HE-SIG-B)指示RU分配,每个RU的空时流数,多普勒比特位(该位用来指示站点是否使用位移导频),位移导频间隔,位移导频处理模式等信息。每个RU的粒度不同的,当每个RU的数据子载波与导频子载波的比例相同时,AP站点每个RU采用统一的位移导频处理模式,当每个RU的数据子载波域导频子载波比例不同时,AP站点对每个RU采用独立的位移导频处理模式。
当AP站点在单流OFDMA模式下向多个站点发送下行数据单元时,当每个RU的数据子载波和导频子载波比例相同时,比如11ax中26tone RU,数据子载波与导频子载波比例为24/2=12,52toneRU数据子载波和导频子载波比例48/4=12,AP通过前导码中的关于位移导频的信息指示使用统一 的处理方式,每个RU都遵循位移间隔k,位移导频符号循环周期T等指示信息,位移导频间隔k表示了两个相邻的OFDM符号中导频位移的间隔;位移导频符号循环周期T表示了导频子载波经过T个OFDM符号可以遍历完所有的数据子载波,每个RU的数据子载波和导频子载波的比例相同时,即如下式:
Figure PCTCN2017087214-appb-000002
其中NSD,i NSP,i表示第i个RU的数据子载波个数和导频音子载波个数,当位移导频间隔设置为k=1时,位移导频符号循环周期为T等于数据子载波与导频子载波的比例D,当k大于1时,位移导频符号循环周期T=D/k,可以看出当位移间隔越小需要的符号循环周期越长。
AP通过上述信息进行位移导频的设置,图7是根据本发明优选实施例提供的完整带宽第i+1符号个位移导频的位移示意图,如图7所示,每相邻的OFDM数据符号中的位移导频间隔为k,k的取值根据站点STA返回的信道SNR的阈值决定,每T个OFDM符号会循环完一遍数据子载波。
接收端STA接收到全带宽的数据,解析前导码信令部分中该站点的RU分配,位移导频间隔k,位移导频循环周期T,通过前导码中的长训练序列得到初始信道估计H,长训练序列(eg:LTF)在数据单元的前导码中预先定义的一组序列,用来估计每个子载波的信道信息,当发送多个空时流时也会将长训练序列扩展到多个空时流上,长训练序列的个数等于空时流数目(空时流为偶数时)或者空时流数目加一(空时流为奇数时),在每次的解OFDM数据符号时,通过该OFDM数据符号的导频子载波接收数据估计该导频子载波的信道信息h,通过h更新信道估计H中对应导频子载波的信道信息,依次迭代的更新H,通过T个OFDM符号可以完全更新本站点RU上完整的信道信息H,将更新后的H用于解析后续的数据OFDM符号。
优选实施例2
在本优选实施例中,AP通单流OFDMA方式向多用户发送数据单元,每个RU的导频图样不同,即数据子载波和导频子载波比例不同时,如下式:
Figure PCTCN2017087214-appb-000003
每个RU的位移导频符号循环周期Ti是不同的,AP在数据单元的前导部分的信令域(eg:HE-SIG-B)分别指示每个用户的RU分配,位移导频为循环间隔ki,位移导频的符号遍历周期Ti,多普勒比特位等,例如11ax中52tone RU的导频是4个,106tone RU的导频也是4个,数据子载波和导频子载波的比例不同,不同RU遍历数据子载波需要的OFDM符号数也是不同的,AP在数据单元前导码中信令字段独立指示每个用户需要的唯一指示信息。
AP在生成数据单元对在不同的符号进行位移的时候,位移导频只在本RU内部进行,图8是根据本发明优选实施例提供的任意两个RU独立的位移导频分布的示意图,如图8所示,在不同的位移两个不同RU在相邻的OFDM符号数据上,位移导频间隔也是不同,位移导频的间隔ki取值根据站点STA反馈的信道SNR以及误包率进行设置,在单流上不同的OFDM使用导频基序列,导频基序列是预先定义的OFDM符号上的导频序列,例如在11ac协议中20MHz带宽中,导频基序列为P20MHz{-21,-7,7,-21}=[1,1,1,-1]即在子载波-21,-7,7,21处设置的值为1,1,1,-1。
当某个站点STA接收到数据单元时,解析信令字段,得到本站点的RU分布,位移导频符号遍历周期,位移导频间隔,多普勒比特位,当该站点设置了多普勒比特位时,站点通过前导码中的长训练序列得到该站点RU的信道估计H,在使用信道估计解数据OFDM符号同时,使用OFDM符号中的导频获得新的导频子载波的信道信息h,比如,第一个OFDM符号使用长训练序列得到的H进行解析,通过第一个OFDM符号获得导频估计信道信息h,更新H对应子载波的信道信息,更新后的H,用来解析第二OFDM符号,通过第二个数据OFDM符号中位移导频得到信道h更 新H,依次类推处理,通过T个数据OFDM就可以更新完所有的H。不同站点STA通过这种方法更新对应RU的信道信息。
优选实施例3
在本优选实施例中,在无线局域网(Wireless Local Network,简称WLAN)通信系统中,当AP通过MIMO以及OFDMA方式对多个站点进行通信,不同的站点STA,使用不同的RU,每个站点STA具有多个空时流,在这种情况下,由于每个站点使用空时流数目不同,每个站点的位移导频独立的处理。
首先,AP站点在数据单元中的前导码中信令字段(eg:HE-SIG-B)指示不同站点STA的RU分配,空时流数目NSTS,位移导频的间隔k,位移导频循环周期T,多普勒比特位等信息。当具有多个空时流数目时,位移导频循环周期T与单流情况是不同的:
Figure PCTCN2017087214-appb-000004
其中i表示第i个站点,这种情况下需要产生多流的位移导频子载波的数据,例如11ax中26tone RU中,当具有两个空时流时,如果要获得某个子载波的信道信息,就需要两个符号上的该子载波的接收数据,不同空时流的位移导频对应的数据是正交的,多空时流的位移导频生成方式:假设STA具有两个空时流,对于26tone RU来说,导频基序列为p26tone{6,20}=[1,1],位移导频间隔为k=1,位移导频循环周期T为26个OFDM符号,通过P矩阵对每个子载波的数据进行正交映射,P矩阵为:
Figure PCTCN2017087214-appb-000005
前两个符号的两个流上的导频子载波数据通过p*P得到,p为导频基序列的元素,本例中p*P得到的四个导频值,分别是第一个符号第一个空时流,第一个符号第二个空时流,第二个符号第一个空时流,第二个符号第二个空时流,按照这种方法通过导频基序列生成多空时流的导频数据,每NSTS个OFDM符号,导频子载波的位置位移k,通过T个OFDM符号 的位移导频的依次完整位移循环,例如图9是根据本发明优选实施例提供的多空时流位移导频的示意图,如图9示例中的26tone RU中,初始导频位置为6和20子载波,生成两个流的导频值,每隔两个OFDM符号位移导频1个子载波间隔,本例中设置k=1,通过26个OFDM符号遍历完具有两个流的26toneRU。
在AP发送下行多空时流情况下,接收端站点STA接收到数据单元,解析出长训练序列,获得该站点RU的初始信道估计H,将该信道估计应用在该RU的数据字段的前NSTS个OFDM符号上,解得对应RU的数据,通过前NSTS个OFDM符号得到位移导频的信道信息h,更新对应的初始信道估计H中对应的子载波索引的信道信息,通过T个OFDM数据符号迭代信道信息被完全更新一遍。
优选实施例4
在本优选实施例中,在WLAN通信系统中,当AP通过MIMO以及OFDMA方式对多个站点进行通信,不同的站点STA,使用不同的RU,每个站点STA具有多个空时流,在这种情况下,由于每个站点使用空时流数目不同,每个站点的位移导频独立的处理。
首先,AP站点在数据单元中的前导码中信令字段(eg:HE-SIG-B)指示不同站点STA的RU分配,空时流数目NSTS,位移导频的间隔k,位移导频循环周期T,多普勒比特位等信息。当具有多个空时流数目时,位移导频循环周期T与单流情况是不同的:
Figure PCTCN2017087214-appb-000006
其中i表示第i个站点,这种情况下需要产生多流的位移导频生成对应子载波的数据,例如11ax中26tone RU中,当具有两个空时流时,不同空时流的位移导频对应的数据是正交的,多空时流的位移导频生成方式:直接采用前导序列中上长训练序列的值作为导频子载波的数据,这种方式复用了长训练数据,而且长训训练序列个数与空时流数目相等或者等于空 时流数据加一,这样可以减少发送端的复杂度,例如,对于26toneRU来说,导频索引第6和第20个子载波上的数据采用长训练序列对应的子载波上的数据。
按照上述方法,可以AP可以在下行多空时流情况下生成每个RU上的位移导频信息。
在AP发送下行多空时流情况下,接收端站点STA接收到数据单元,解析出长训练序列,获得该站点RU的初始信道估计H,将该信道估计应用在该RU的数据字段的前NSTS个OFDM符号上,解得对应RU的数据,通过前NSTS个OFDM符号得到位移导频的信道信息h,更新对应的初始信道估计H中对应的子载波索引的信道信息,通过T个OFDM数据符号迭代信道信息被完全更新一遍。
优选实施例5
在本优选实施例中,多个用户同时发送数据单元给AP,AP发送触发(Trigger)帧调度不同用户的通过上行OFDMA方式发送数据,AP在Trigger帧中指示了每个用户使用不同的位移导频进行指示,每个用户接收到Trigger帧得到本站点的信息,例如本站点的RU分配,位移导频信息,数据流分配等,通过这些信息站点进行数据单元的生成,在生成数据单元时,每个站点只是使用本RU进行数据传输,每个站点使用Trigger帧中指示的本站点位移导频信息:STA的RU分配,空时流数目NSTS,位移导频的间隔k,位移导频循环周期T,多普勒比特位,生成上行具有位移导频的数据单元。

更新模块1104,与上述接收模块1102连接,设置为根据位移导频信息更新与本站点对应的资源单元的信道信息。
通过上述装置,由于在数据单元中设置了用于更新资源单元信道信息的位移导频信息,在接收到数据单元后,使得当多普勒环境频移引起信道变化时,站点能够利用该位移导频信息更新信道信息,解决了相关技术中在OFDMA或MU-MIMO情况下,由于环境多普勒频移引起的信道变化使得站点无法在同一个数据单元中更新信道信息的问题。
