Therefore, the MIMO technology in the related art can only optimize the horizontal dimensional characteristics of each terminal signal by adjusting the relative amplitude/phase between different ports in the horizontal dimension, and can only adopt the uniform sector level in the vertical dimension. Forming.

- Massive MIMO massive MIMO
- 3GPP is carrying out research and standardization of FD-MIMO (Full Dimension MIMO) technology.
- FD-MIMO Full Dimension MIMO
- the academic community is more forward-looking in research and testing of MIMO technology based on larger antenna arrays.
- Academic research and preliminary channel measurement results show that Massive MIMO (mass MIMO) technology will greatly improve system frequency band utilization efficiency and support a larger number of access users. Therefore, major research organizations regard Massive MIMO technology as one of the most promising physical layer technologies in the next generation of mobile communication systems.
- Massive MIMO technology requires the use of large-scale antenna arrays. Although an all-digital array can achieve maximum spatial resolution and optimal MU-MIMO (multi-user MIMO) performance, this architecture requires a large number of AD/DA (digital-to-analog/analog) conversion periods and a large number of The complete RF-baseband processing channel is a huge burden, both in terms of equipment cost and baseband processing complexity. This problem is particularly prominent in high frequency bands and large bandwidths. In order to reduce the implementation cost and equipment complexity of Massive MIMO technology, digital-analog hybrid beamforming technology has been proposed in recent years.
- the so-called digital-analog hybrid beamforming refers to adding a first-order analog shape to the RF signal near the front end of the antenna system based on the traditional digital domain beamforming.
- Analog shaping enables a relatively coarse match between the transmitted signal and the channel in a relatively simple manner.
- the dimension of the equivalent channel formed after the analog shaping is smaller than the actual number of antennas, so the required AD/DA conversion device, the number of digital channels, and the corresponding baseband processing complexity can be greatly reduced.
- the residual interference of the analog shaped portion can be processed again in the digital domain to ensure the quality of the MU-MIMO transmission.
- S K (t)) are mapped to M digital channels (Transceiver) by digital beamforming (DBF), after digital-to-analog conversion (DAC), It is then mapped to Nt transmit antennas (Antenna) via analog shaping (ABF).
- DBF digital beamforming
- DAC digital-to-analog conversion
- AMF analog shaping
- digital-analog hybrid beamforming is a compromise between performance and complexity. It has a high practical prospect in systems with high bandwidth and large number of antennas.
- the channel state information accuracy that can be obtained by the network side directly determines the accuracy of precoding/beamforming and the performance of the scheduling algorithm, thus affecting To overall system performance. Therefore, the acquisition of channel state information has always been one of the core issues in the standardization of MIMO technology.
- the channel state required for digital shaping can be obtained by channel estimation.
- the number of equivalent digital channels formed by analog shaping is less than the actual number of antennas, the dimension of the channel matrix obtained by the reference signal is much lower than the dimension of the complete channel matrix experienced by the antenna end. Therefore, the spatial resolution and interference suppression capability that digital shaping can achieve is somewhat lost.
- the processing is closer to the physical antenna side, and its MIMO channel has a higher degree of freedom than digital shaping.
- the analog shaping part cannot directly utilize the channel state information obtained by the digital domain for both FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) and TDD (Time Division Duplex).
- the selection of the analog beam can generally only be performed by means of searching (or training).
- the transmitting end transmits a set of beams
- the receiving end also uses a predetermined set of beams for tentative reception to determine the best combination of transmitting and receiving beams.
- the channel conditions change (such as occlusion)
- the system will re-enter the beam search phase, and a traversal search of the potential transceiver beam combination is required.
- the base station side (eNB or TRP) needs to determine the optimal uplink transmit beam on the terminal side, and inform the terminal of the uplink transmit beam selected by the base station. In this way, when the terminal transmits in the uplink, the uplink beam can be used for transmission.

本申请主张在2016年8月12日在中国提交的中国专利申请号No.201610666435.9的优先权,其全部内容通过引用包含于此。
本公开涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种波束赋形训练方法、终端和基站。
鉴于MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output,多进多出)技术对于提高峰值速率与系统频谱利用率的重要作用,LTE(Long Term Evolution,长期演进)/LTE-A(LTE-Advanced)等无线接入技术标准都是以MIMO+OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,正交频分复用)技术为基础构建起来的。MIMO技术的性能增益来自于多天线系统所能获得的空间自由度,因此MIMO技术在标准化发展过程中的一个最重要的演进方向便是维度的扩展。在LTE Rel-8中,最多可以支持4层的MIMO传输。Rel-9重点对MU-MIMO技术进行了增强,TM(Transmission Mode,传输模式)-8的MU-MIMO(Multi-User MIMO,多用户多进多出)传输中最多可以支持4个下行数据层。Rel-10则通过8端口CSI-RS(Channel State Information Reference Signal,信道状态信息参考信号)、URS(UE-specific Reference Signal,UE特定参考信号)与多颗粒度码本的引入进一步提高了信道状态信息的空间分辨率,并进一步将SU-MIMO(Single-User MIMO,单用户多进多出)的传输能力扩展至最多8个数据层。
采用相关技术中的PAS(Passive Antenna System,无源天线系统)结构的基站天线系统中,多个天线端口(每个端口对应着独立的射频-中频-基带通道)水平排列,而每个端口对应的垂直维的多个阵子之间由射频电缆连接。因此相关技术中的的MIMO技术只能在水平维通过对不同端口间的相对幅度/相位的调整实现对各个终端信号在水平维空间特性的优化,在垂直维则只能采用统一的扇区级赋形。移动通信系统中引入AAS(Active Antenna System,有源天线系统)技术之后,基站天线系统能够在垂直维获得更大的自由度,能够在
三维空间实现对UE(User Equipment,用户终端)级的信号优化。
在上述研究、标准化与天线技术发展基础之上,产业界正在进一步地将MIMO技术向着三维化和大规模化的方向推进。目前,3GPP正在开展FD-MIMO(Full Dimension MIMO,全维度MIMO)技术研究与标准化工作。而学术界则更为前瞻地开展了针对基于更大规模天线阵列的MIMO技术的研究与测试工作。学术研究与初步的信道实测结果表明,Massive MIMO(大规模MIMO)技术将能够极大地提升系统频带利用效率,支持更大数量的接入用户。因此各大研究组织均将Massive MIMO技术视为下一代移动通信系统中最有潜力的物理层技术之一。
Massive MIMO技术需要使用大规模天线阵列。尽管采用全数字阵列可以实现最大化的空间分辨率以及最优MU-MIMO(多用户多入多出)性能,但是这种结构需要大量的AD/DA(数模/模数)转换期间以及大量完整的射频-基带处理通道,无论是设备成本还是基带处理复杂度都将是巨大的负担。这一问题在高频段、大带宽时显得尤为突出。为了降低Massive MIMO技术的实现成本与设备复杂度,近年来有人提出采用数模混合波束赋形技术。所谓数模混合波束赋形(见图11),是指在传统的数字域波束赋形基础上,在靠近天线系统的前端,在射频信号上增加一级模拟赋形。模拟赋形能够通过较为简单的方式,使发送信号与信道实现较为粗略的匹配。模拟赋形后形成的等效信道的维度小于实际的天线数量,因此其后所需的AD/DA转换器件、数字通道数以及相应的基带处理复杂度都可以大为降低。模拟赋形部分残余的干扰可以在数字域再进行一次处理,从而保证MU-MIMO传输的质量。图11中,K个数据流(S1(t)……SK(t))经过数字波束赋形(DBF)映射到M个数字通道(Transceiver)上,经过数模转换(DAC)之后,再经过模拟赋形(ABF)映射到Nt个发射天线(Antenna)上去。
相对于全数字赋形而言,数模混合波束赋形是性能与复杂度的一种折中方案,在高频段大带宽或天线数量很大的系统中具有较高的实用前景。
MIMO技术中,尤其是对MU-MIMO(多用户多入多出)技术而言,网络侧能够获得的信道状态信息精度将直接决定预编码/波束赋形的精度与调度算法的效能,从而影响到整体系统性能。因此,信道状态信息的获取一直是MIMO技术标准化中最核心的问题之一。
根据目前的LTE信号结构,由于参考信号都是安插在基带的,因此可以通过信道估计获取数字赋形所需的信道状态。但是,由于模拟赋形形成的等效数字通道数少于实际天线数,通过参考信号获得的信道矩阵的维度已经远远低于天线端所经历的完整信道矩阵的维度。因此,数字赋形所能获得的空间分辨率以及干扰抑制能力受到了一定的损失。对于模拟赋形部分而言,其处理过程更靠近物理天线一侧,相对于数字赋形而言,其MIMO信道具有更高的自由度。然而,由于没有办法对基带插入的参考信号进行估计,因而无论对FDD(频分双工)还是TDD(时分双工),其模拟赋形部分都无法直接利用数字域获得的信道状态信息。
因此,一般而言数模混合波束赋形系统中,对模拟波束的选择一般只能通过搜索(或称训练)的方式进行。在这一过程中,发送端发射一组波束,接收端也使用一组预定的波束进行试探性的接收,以判断出最佳的收发波束组合。当信道条件发生变化(如遮挡)时,系统将重新进入波束搜索阶段,需要对潜在的收发波束组合进行遍历搜索。
上行波束训练过程完成时,基站侧(eNB或TRP)需要确定终端侧的最优上行发射波束,并将基站选定的上行发射波束告知终端。这样终端在上行传输时,就可以使用这一上行波束进行传输。相关技术的方案中,终端支持的发射波束数一般是固定的,因此可以预先对这样的一组波束进行编号。上行波束训练完成后,基站侧会通过下行控制信息向终端通知其推荐的上行发射波束所对应的编号。
相关技术的方式中,对终端支持的波束数目有限定,无法根据终端能力和具体的应用场景灵活调整训练时使用的波束数量。

例如,时间窗口长度为N=16个子帧,16个子帧范围内有2次训练,每次训练发送8个波束的训练信号。波束的编号按照由远及近的方式进行编号,即最早的波束编号为0,最近的波束编号为15。如果基站发送的通知消息中通知终端切换到波束7,则终端可以确定需要切换的波束方向为第0次训练(按时间由远及近顺序排列)的第7个训练波束的波束方向;如果基站发送的通知消息中通知终端切换到波束9,则终端可以确定需要切换的波束方向为第1次训
