Description

Feedback parameter reporting method and device

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a feedback parameter reporting method and apparatus.

Background technique

LTE (Long Term Evolution) system widely adopts MIMO (Multiple Input and Multiple Output) technology. For users at the cell edge, Space Frequency Block Code (SFBC) is generally used. Transmission mode to improve cell edge signal to noise ratio. For users in the cell center, a multi-layer parallel transmission mode is generally used to provide a higher data transmission rate. If the base station obtains all or part of the downlink channel information, precoding processing can be used to improve the signal transmission quality or rate and reduce the feedback load.

In the precoding process, for the TDD (Time Division Duplexing) system, since the uplink and downlink of the radio channel have mutuality, the downlink precoding weight vector can be estimated according to the uplink channel. However, for a FDD (Time Division Duplexing) system, the base station side generally obtains a precoding weight matrix by means of a terminal device (abbreviation: UE) feeding back a precoding vector. For example, in the LTE standard version 10 (Rel. 10), the purpose of reducing the feedback load is achieved by defining a two-stage codebook feedback mechanism.

Generally, the feedback precoding vector can be implemented by direct quantization or analog feedback. The difference is that the channel state information (CSI) is more accurate than the direct quantization feedback mode. Taking analog feedback as an example, in the process of analog feedback, the terminal device first performs eigenvalue decomposition on the frequency domain channel (the frequency domain channel can be represented by H) to obtain a feature vector, wherein the dimension of the feature vector and the antenna port of the base station side The number is proportional to each other, and each element in the feature vector is modulated onto a sequence, and the modulated sequence is transmitted to the base station.

For example, when the rank of the channel is 1, the dimension of the feature vector can be expressed as N _t ×1, N _t represents the number of antenna ports on the base station side, and W(k) is represented as the kth element of the feature vector, and the terminal device is Each element of the feature vector needs to be reported to the base station during feedback. The N _t sequences generated by the terminal device, wherein the mth sequence is represented as Sm, and the length of each sequence is A. As shown in FIG. 1 , A=12, then one sequence may be a resource block (Resource Block, referred to as: One OFDM symbol in RB) is carried, and the kth element in the feature vector is multiplied by the kth column sequence, that is, W(k)×S _k , which is carried by one OFDM symbol of one RB. It can be seen that when the number of antenna ports on the base station side is large, the OFDM symbol bearer required for the terminal device to report the feature vector is increased, which consumes a large amount of uplink resources, and the uplink resource overhead is large.

The embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments.

The technical solutions provided by the present application are mainly applied to an LTE system and a 5G system, and the main application scenario thereof is Application of downlink MIMO technology. In the work development phase (Work Item, abbreviation: WI) in the LTE standard version 14, to improve the feedback accuracy of the downlink channel state information (abbreviation: CSI), the estimated feature vector of the downlink channel or the downlink channel is fed back to the base station, but when When the number of antenna ports on the base station side is large, for example, 16 antenna ports or more, the uplink device that the terminal device feeds back the feature vector or matrix of the downlink channel is large.

To reduce the overhead of the uplink resource, the embodiment of the present application provides a method and device for reporting a feedback parameter, which is applied to the terminal device side. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps:

Step 201: The terminal device acquires an antenna configuration parameter and an orthogonal base generation control parameter that are sent by the base station.

The antenna configuration parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: a first dimension antenna port number, a second dimension antenna port number, and a base station side polarization antenna configuration parameter; wherein the polarized antenna configuration includes a single polarization antenna And a dual-polarized antenna; the orthogonal basis generation control parameter includes at least one of the following parameters: the number of orthogonal bases of the first dimension, the number of orthogonal bases of the second dimension, and the orthogonal basis of the polarization direction dimension number.

Step 202: The terminal device generates at least two orthogonal bases according to the antenna configuration parameter and the orthogonal basis generation control parameter, and the configuration of each of the orthogonal bases is related to an antenna configuration on the base station side.

The expression of the generated orthogonal base is also different according to the antenna configuration parameters of the base station side. For example, if the base station side adopts a dual-polarized antenna, the orthogonal basis is represented by multiplying a block diagonal matrix and a first unitary matrix, wherein each block matrix in the block diagonal matrix is a second unitary matrix, The dimension of the second unitary matrix is N rows and M columns; the first unitary matrix is represented by a Kroneck product of a unit matrix of a third matrix of 2 rows and 2 columns and a matrix of M rows and M columns; if the base station side adopts For a single-polarized antenna, the orthogonal basis is represented as the second unitary matrix, where N represents the number of antenna ports in one polarization direction, and M≤N.

Further, if the antenna port on the base station side is configured as a two-dimensional antenna port, the second unitary matrix is represented as a Kronecker product of the fourth unitary matrix and the fifth unitary matrix; wherein, the fourth unitary matrix The dimension is N ₁ row M ₁ column, the dimension of the fifth matrix is N ₂ rows and M ₂ columns, N ₁ represents the number of antenna ports of the first dimension in one polarization direction, and N ₂ represents the number of antennas in one polarization direction. The number of two-dimensional antenna ports, and M ₁ ≤ N ₁ , M ₂ ≤ N ₂ .

The following shows the orthogonal basis generated by different antenna side configuration parameters by formula:

or,

Representing a diagonal matrix, ie

Specifically expressed as:

or,

x ∈ {1, 2, 3}, and k is an integer, 0 ≤ k < N _x . Step 203: The terminal device receives a downlink channel state information reference signal (abbreviation: CSI-RS) from the base station, and determines a channel parameter according to the CSI-RS.

Specifically, if the channel parameter is a channel matrix, the dimension of the channel matrix is represented by N _r rows and N _t columns, where N _t represents the total number of transmitting antenna ports of the base station side, and N _r represents the terminal device. The total number of antenna ports received, further, N _t = N1 × N2 × N3.

If the channel parameter is a channel correlation matrix RR, the dimensions of the channel correlation matrix are represented as N _t rows N _t columns; that is, RR=E{H ^H H}, where E{·} represents a correlation average, RR The dimension is expressed as N _t ×N _t .

If the channel parameter is a feature vector of the channel matrix, the dimension of the feature vector is represented as R x N _t , where R represents the rank of the channel matrix. That is, W=eig(H), where the dimension of W is R×N _t and R is expressed as the rank of the channel.

Step 204: The terminal device selects one of the at least two orthogonal bases as the target orthogonal basis according to the channel parameter.

In a specific embodiment, the process of selecting a target orthogonal basis comprises: the terminal device projecting the channel parameter on each of the orthogonal bases, and generating a projection matrix for the at least two orthogonal Base projection produces a set of projection matrices, where each projection matrix consists of S elements.

The terminal device selects L elements of a larger value in each of the projection matrices, and calculates a sum of the selected L larger element values;

The sum of the L larger element values calculated in all projection matrices is compared, and the largest projection matrix among the sum of the L larger element values is selected as the selected target orthogonal basis.

Taking the channel parameter as the feature vector of the downlink channel H as an example, the processing procedure on the terminal device side will be described.

The terminal device performs eigenvalue decomposition on the downlink channel H, which can be expressed as: H=U∑V.

Where H is the downlink channel, U is the 酉 matrix of the dimension N _r ×N _r , Σ represents the diagonal matrix of the dimension N _r ×N _t , the diagonal element is the eigenvalue of the matrix, and V is N _t ×N _t The matrix of 酉. According to the rank R of the downlink channel matrix (abbreviation: RANK), the feature vectors corresponding to the R large eigenvalues are fed back to the base station, where the feature vector W can be represented by W=col(V ^H ), where col(V ^H ) indicates that R column vectors corresponding to R large feature values are taken, and V ^H represents a conjugate transposed matrix of the matrix V.

Projecting the feature vector W to the at least two orthogonal bases to generate a set of projection matrices, wherein each projection matrix is composed of S elements, and L larger ones are selected in each of the projection matrices The element of the value, and calculates the sum of the selected L larger element values; compares the sum of the L larger element values calculated in all projection matrices, and selects the largest of the sum of the L larger element values The projection matrix is the most selected target orthogonal basis, Or called the optimal orthogonal basis.

The terminal device selects a target orthogonal basis among a set of orthogonal bases according to the feature vector W, that is, the target orthogonal base causes a larger amount of energy to be concentrated in a few projections of the feature vector W on the orthogonal basis Point. That is, the terminal device determines the feedback parameters k, k'l, l', m in the orthogonal basis according to the feature vector W, thereby obtaining the target orthogonal basis B _{(k, l, k'l', m)} .

Step 205: The terminal device extracts a feedback parameter according to the channel parameter and the target orthogonal basis, and reports the feedback parameter to the base station, where the number of parameters of the feedback parameter is smaller than the channel parameter. number.

After the terminal device selects the target orthogonal basis, the channel parameter G is projected to the target orthogonal basis,

E=G×B _(k,l,k'l',m)

Where B _{(k, l, k'l', m)} denotes an orthogonal basis of parameters k, l, k', l', m, and G denotes the channel parameter. E denotes a projection matrix, the dimension of the projection matrix E is represented as R×N _t , and the projection matrix E has L values having a large amplitude, and the position index of the L large amplitude values in the projection matrix E is represented by I _L = [i ₀ L i _L-1 ].

In addition, after the foregoing step 202, the method further includes numbering all the orthogonal bases generated.

The feedback parameter extracted in step 205 includes: a number of the target orthogonal basis, L corresponding large element values in the target orthogonal basis, and the L larger element values in the projection matrix The location index I _L .

Further, the L large values may be reported to the base station by means of analog feedback, or may be reported to the base station by direct quantization.

In an embodiment of the application, the terminal device generates at least two orthogonal bases by using an antenna configuration parameter and an orthogonal basis generation control parameter that are sent by the base station, where the orthogonal basis is used to concentrate the downlink channel parameter energy on a few elements. The channel parameter is determined according to the downlink channel state information reference signal sent by the base station, and a target orthogonal basis is selected according to the channel parameter, so that the channel parameter has a small amplitude in the vector or matrix after the target orthogonal basis is mapped. The value may further extract the information such as the larger amplitude value from the target orthogonal basis as the feedback parameter, and the remaining smaller values are discarded, so that the number of parameters in the reported feedback parameter is less than the number of parameters in the channel parameter. . The value of the feedback parameter is reported to the base station, that is, the number of parameters of the feedback parameter is smaller than the number of the channel parameters, thereby reducing the bearer resources occupied by the uplink feedback and saving resource overhead.

Furthermore, since the configuration of the selected target orthogonal base is related to the antenna configuration on the base station side, and the target orthogonal basis The projection energy of the channel on the orthogonal basis can be more concentrated on a few points, so that the error caused by the value of the smaller abandonment can be reduced, and the accuracy of the feedback of the terminal device can be improved.

In the above example, reporting the feedback parameter to the base station includes:

In the feedback parameter, the terminal device reports the number of the target orthogonal base in one subframe, and the position index of the L larger element values in the projection matrix; the bandwidth of the entire system is at least Two sub-bands are formed, and the terminal device reports the L larger element values for each of the sub-bands.

Specifically, in the LTE system, the bandwidth of the entire LTE system is composed of several sub-bands. To reduce the complexity of the uplink feedback, the terminal device selects a target orthogonal base and an index of L larger values for the entire LTE system bandwidth. Position; on each subband, the channel parameter G of the corresponding subband is projected on the selected target orthogonal basis, and the projection of the subband G is indexed at the L position, the value of each subband The larger value is reported to the base station.

The second dimension is a vertical dimension, and the number of antenna ports in the same polarization direction in the second dimension is 2, that is, N ₂ = 2; then the total number of the dual-polarized antenna ports is N _t = N ₁ N ₂ N ₃ .

The parameters are not changed after being sent to the terminal device terminal, and are called static configuration mode.

Step 506: The terminal device selects one of the at least two orthogonal bases as a target orthogonal basis according to the channel parameter, so that a small number of eigenvectors or matrices are mapped in the target orthogonal basis (L). The amplitude of the amplitude is larger, and the rest of the values are smaller amplitudes. Because the larger value represents a larger energy, the projection energy of the downlink channel on the orthogonal basis is concentrated in a few (L) points. In position, it is possible to reduce the error caused by the smaller value of the discarding amplitude.

Step 507: The terminal device extracts a feedback parameter according to the channel parameter and the target orthogonal basis, where the number of parameters of the feedback parameter is smaller than the number of the channel parameters, that is, the base station side included in the reported feedback parameter. The number of antenna ports is smaller than the number of antenna ports included in the channel parameter; the feedback parameter includes: a number of the target orthogonal base, L corresponding large element values in the target orthogonal base, and the The position index of the L larger element values in the projection matrix.
