Description

一种获取、反馈发送波束信息的方法及装置

技术领域
本发明涉及无线通信技术领域，特别涉及一种获取、反馈发送波束信息的方法及装置。
背景技术
鉴于MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output，多入多出)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，长期演进升级)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(Multi-User MIMO，多用户MIMO)技术进行了增强，TM(Transmission Mode，传输模式)-8的MU-MIMO传输中最多可以支持4个下行数据层。Rel-10则引入支持8天线端口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MIMO)的传输能力扩展至最多8个数据层。Rel-13和Rel-14引入了FD-MIMO(Full dimension MIMO，全维度MIMO)技术支持到32端口，实现全维度以及垂直方向的波束赋形。
为了进一步提升MIMO技术，移动通信系统中引入大规模天线技术。对于基站，全数字化的大规模天线可以有高达128/256/512个天线单元，以及高达128/256/512个收发单元，每个天线单元连接一个收发单元。通过发送高达128/256/512个天线端口的导频信号，使得终端测量信道状态信息并反馈。对于终端，也可以配置高达32/64个天线单元的天线阵列。通过基站和终端两侧的波束赋形，获得巨大的波束赋形增益，以弥补路径损耗带来的信号衰减。尤其是在高频段通信，例如30GHz频点上，路径损耗使得无线信号的覆盖范围极其有限。通过大规模天线技术，可以将无线信号的覆盖范围扩大到可以实用的范围内。
全数字天线阵列，每个天线单元都有独立的收发单元，将会使得设备的尺寸、成本和 功耗大幅度上升。特别是对于收发单元的ADC(Analog-Digital Converter，模数转换器)和DAC(Digital Analog Converter，数模转换器)，近十年来，其功耗只降低了1/10左右，性能提升也比较有限。为了降低设备的尺寸、成本和功耗，基于模拟波束赋形的技术方案被提出，图1为对中频信号加权赋形的模拟波束赋形示意图，图2为对射频信号加权赋形的模拟波束赋形示意图，如图1和图2所示。模拟波束赋形的主要特点是通过移相器对中频(图1)或射频信号(图2)进行加权赋形。优点在于所有发射(接收)天线只有一个收发单元，实现简单，降低了成本、尺寸和功耗。
为了进一步提升模拟波束赋形性能，一种数字模拟混合波束赋形(数模混合波束赋形)收发架构方案被提出，图3为数模混合波束赋形示意图，如图3所示，发送端和接收端分别有

模拟波束赋形和数模混合波束赋形都需要调整收发两端的模拟波束赋形权值，以使得其所形成的波束能对准通信的对端。对于下行传输，需要调整基站侧发送的波束赋形权值和终端侧接收的波束赋形权值，而对于上行传输，需要调整终端侧发送的和基站侧接收的波束赋形权值。波束赋形的权值通常通过发送训练信号获得。下行方向，基站发送下行波束训练信号，终端测量下行波束训练信号，选择出最佳的基站发送波束，并将波束相关的信息反馈给基站，同时选择出对应的最佳接收波束，保存在本地。
现有技术的不足在于：当前反馈的波束相关的信息并不准确。

具体实施方式
本发明实施例中将提供获取发送波束信息、反馈发送波束信息的方案，用以解决波束信息的确定和上报问题，使终端和基站获得更准确的波束组合信息，更好的支持多波束传输。下面结合附图对本发明的具体实施方式进行说明。
在说明过程中，将分别从终端与基站侧的实施进行说明，然后还将给出二者配合的实施说明以更好地理解本发明实施例中给出的方案的实施。这样的说明方式并不意味着二者必须配合实施、或者必须单独实施，实际上，当终端与基站分开实施时，其也各自解决终端侧、基站侧的问题，而二者结合使用时，会获得更好的技术效果。
图4为基站侧获取发送波束信息的方法实施流程示意图，如图所示，可以包括：
步骤401、基站用下行发送波束向终端发送参考信号，其中，基站为每个下行发送波束发射一个参考信号，每个波束的参考信号用该波束对应的波束赋形权值赋形之后发出，并且将用同一个波束组的下行发送波束发送的参考信号划为一个参考信号集合；

步骤502、终端根据接收质量从接收到的参考信号中选择Q个参考信号，并确定每个参考信号的接收波束，Q为大于或等于1的整数；
步骤503、终端接收基站向终端发送的参考信号集合划分的相关信息，终端根据参考信号集合划分的相关信息，选择下行发送波束组合并上报基站。
下面以基站与终端的结合实施进行说明。
假设基站侧共有
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000008
个候选的下行发送波束，每个下行波束对应一组波束赋形权值， 第n个波束的发送波束赋形权值为
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000009
其中K是波束赋形的天线单元数，可以小于基站的天线单元数，例如一个下行波束仅从一个收发单元连接的K个天线单元发出。
对于步骤401的实施，基站用下行发送波束向终端发送参考信号，其中，基站为每个下行发送波束发射一个参考信号，每个波束的参考信号用该波束对应的波束赋形权值赋形之后发出，并且将用同一个波束组的下行发送波束发送的参考信号划为一个参考信号集合。
具体的，基站对候选的下行发送波束进行分组，假设分为G个波束组，G为大于或等于1的整数。
分组的一种可选的依据是：基站可以用属于不同波束组的下行发送波束同时向终端发送信号，即基站可以在一个时刻(例如一个OFDM符号之内)同时使用属于不同波束组的下行发送波束向终端发送信号。
或者，分组的另外一种可选的依据是：基站可以用属于相同波束组的下行发送波束同时向终端发送信号。
或者，基站对候选的下行发送波束进行分组，并将每组之内的波束进一步分为子组，每个子组内的下行发送波束可以同时向终端发送信号，一个组内的不同子组不可同时向终端发送信号。
或者，每个子组内的下行发送波束不可以同时向终端发送信号，一个组内的不同子组内的下行发送波束可以同时向终端发送信号。
相应的，系统可以通过信令将关于分组(包括子组)方式的信息通知给UE。
基站发送下行参考信号。基站为每个候选的下行发送波束发射一个参考信号。例如对于
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000010
个下行发送波束，基站可以发送
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000011
个参考信号。这
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000012
个参考信号之间可以TDM(Time Division Multiplexing，时分复用)、FDM(Frequency Division Mutiplexing，频分复用)、CDM(Code Division Multiplexing，码分复用)复用，或者各种复用方式的组合。例如，在以OFDM为基础的系统中，
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000013
个参考信号可以占用
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000014
个OFDM符号，每个参考信号占用1个OFDM符号，参考信号之间为TDM复用。也可以在一个OFDM符号中发射多个波束的参考信号，他们之间是FDM复用，或者CDM复用。
每个波束的参考信号用该波束对应的波束赋形权值赋形之后发出。
参考信号是周期性发送，或者非周期性发送。
这里所说的一个参考信号可以是指参考信号在一个发送机会内发送的参考信号，也可 以是指在多个发送机会内发送的参考信号。
这里每个参考信号对应一个下行发送波束。
实施中，在基站用属于不同波束组的下行发送波束同时向终端发送参考信号时：从同一个TRP发出的下行发送波束为一个波束组；从一个收发单元发出的下行发送波束为一个波束组。
具体的可以按照如下方式分组：
A)图6为基站波束分组示例一示意图，如果一个基站由多个TRP(Transmission/Reception Point，发送和接收节点)构成，则从同一个TRP发出的下行发送波束可以分为一组。如图6所示，有2个TRP，TRP1和TRP2，从TRP1发出的波束分为分组1，从TRP2发出的波束分为分组2。
B)图7为基站波束分组示例二示意图，如果一个基站的一个TRP的天线阵列有多个收发单元(例如有多个面板(panel))，则从一个收发单元发出的下行发送波束可以分为一组。如图7所示，有1个TRP，该TRP有2个天线面板，从面板1发出的波束分为分组1，从面板2发出的波束分为分组2。
需要说明的是，基站也有可能通过一个波束组内的多个波束同时向终端发送信号。
实施中，一个参考信号为在一个发送机会内发送的参考信号，或在多个发送机会内发送的参考信号。
具体的，这里所说的一个参考信号可以是指参考信号在一个发送机会内发送的参考信号，也可以是指在多个发送机会内发送的参考信号。
实施中，基站用下行发送波束向终端发送参考信号，基站为每个下行发送波束发射一个参考信号，包括如下方式之一：
将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的所有发送机会的所有端口上发送；
将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的至少一个发送机会的所有端口上发送；
将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的至少一个发送机会的至少一个端口上发送。
一个参考信号资源包括若干时频资源，例如包括一个OFDM符号内的若干个RE(Resource Element，资源单元)。参考信号资源在时域内可以重复出现，例如按照一定的周期重复出现，在一个周期内也可以出现多次。一个参考信号资源在时域内的每次出现称为一个发送机会。
图8为周期性参考信号资源配置示意图，如图8所示，基站为终端配置2个参考信号资源，每个参考信号资源都是周期性出现，在一个周期内，每个参考信号资源重复4次，即有每个周期内4个发送机会。
图9为非周期性参考信号资源配置示意图，如图9所示，基站为终端配置2个参考信号资源，均为非周期性参考信号资源，每次通过非周期触发信令触发参考信号资源。图9的例子中，每次触发后，参考信号资源出现4次，即每次触发该参考信号资源的4个发送机会。
具体实施中，参考信号的映射和传输方式可以如下：
A)将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的所有发送机会的所有端口上发送。
具体的，一个波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源(例如CSI-RS(channel state information reference signal，信道状态信息参考信号)资源)的所有发送机会的所有端口上发送。也就是说该在参考信号资源上发送的参考信号都使用相同的波束进行传输。
B)将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的至少一个发送机会的所有端口上发送。
具体的，一个波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源(例如CSI-RS资源)的若干个(可以是1个)发送机会的所有端口上发送。一个参考信号资源的不同发送机会可以传输不同的波束的参考信号。
C)将一个下行发送波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源的至少一个发送机会的至少一个端口上发送。
具体的，一个波束的参考信号映射到一个参考信号资源(例如CSI-RS资源)的若干个(可以是1个)发送机会的若干个(可以是1个)端口上发送。一个参考信号资源的一个发送机会的不同的端口可以传输不同的波束的参考信号。
基站将下行参考信号分为G个参考信号集合。划分的依据是发送参考信号的下行发送波束：用同一个波束组的下行发送波束发送的参考信号划为一个集合。
则，对于步骤402，基站向终端发送参考信号集合划分的相关信息，在实施时可以如下：
A)当基站为终端配置H个参考信号资源集合，若其中第h个参考信号资源集合包括N h个参考信号资源，一个参考信号资源的所有发送机会的所有端口用于发送一个波束的参考信号时，基站通过通知参考信号资源集合的配置信息来向终端通知参考信号集合划分的配置信息。其中，H和h均为大于或等于1的整数，h<＝H。
具体的，基站为终端配置H个参考信号资源集合。其中第h个参考信号资源集合包括N h个参考信号资源。一个参考信号资源的所有发送机会的所有端口用于发送一个波束的参考信号。此时，基站可以通过通知参考信号资源集合的配置信息的方式通知参考信号集合的配置信息。
B)当基站为终端配置F个参考信号资源集合，若其中第f个参考信号资源集合包括N f个参考信号资源，一个参考信号资源有N p个天线端口，每个参考信号资源所的1个天线端口用于发送一个波束的参考信号时，基站通过通知参考信号资源集合配置信息以及天线端口来向终端通知参考信号集合划分的配置信息。其中，F和f均为大于或等于1的整数，f<＝F。
具体的，基站为终端配置F个参考信号资源集合。其中第f个参考信号资源集合包括N f个参考信号资源。一个参考信号资源有N p个天线端口，每个参考信号资源所的1个天线端口用于发送一个波束的参考信号。此时，基站可以通过通知参考信号资源集合配置信息以及天线端口的方式通知参考信号集合的配置信息。
相应的，在终端侧步骤501的实施中则为：终端接收基站用下行发送波束向终端发送的参考信号，其中，基站为每个下行发送波束发射一个参考信号，每个波束的参考信号用该波束对应的波束赋形权值赋形之后发出，并且将用同一个波束组的下行发送波束发送的参考信号划为一个参考信号集合。
对于步骤502的实施，终端根据接收质量从接收到的参考信号中选择Q个参考信号，具体可以是：终端接收基站发送的参考信号，从
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000015
个参考信号中选择Q个参考信号。
终端接收基站发送的参考信号，通过对参考信号的测量，确定
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000016
个参考信号的接收质量，并确定接收每个参考信号的接收波束。
参考信号的接收质量可以通过RSRP(Reference Signal Received Power，参考信号接收功率)表征，也可以用其他的测量量表征。终端根据参考信号的接收质量选择参考信号，例如选择接收质量最高的Q个参考信号，或者选择接收质量高于一定门限的Q个参考信号。
假设终端共有
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000017
个接收波束，每个接收波束对应一组波束赋形权值，则对于步骤502的实施，在确定每个参考信号的接收波束时，可以包括：对于一个参考信号，终端分别尝试使用每个接收波束对其进行接收，选择接收信号功率最强的接收波束作为该参考信号的接收波束。
具体的，针对一个参考信号，终端确定接收该参考信号的接收波束。
终端的接收波束可以是从候选的接收波束中选择得到。假设终端共有
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000018
个接收波 束，每个接收波束对应一组波束赋形权值，第n个波束的接收波束赋形权值为
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000019
其中L是波束赋形的天线单元数，可以小于终端的天线单元数，例如L个天线单元接收到的信号经波束赋形权值加权后合并送到一个收发单元。
对于一个参考信号，终端可以分别使用每个接收波束对其进行接收，选择接收信号功率最强的接收波束作为该参考信号的接收波束。
对于步骤503的实施，终端根据参考信号集合划分的相关信息，选择下行发送波束组合，该组合是终端建议基站同时使用的下行发送波束组合。
具体的，终端根据参考信号集合信息，选择建议基站同时使用的下行发送波束组合(由参考信号代表)，从而确定参考信号分组。
终端建议同时使用意味着终端可以同时接收。其中，参考信号集合是基站侧对参考信号进行集合划分得到的；参考信号分组是终端侧根据测量结果对参考信号进行分组得到的。
假设终端的收发单元可以分为R组(R为大于或等于1的整数)，每组内至少一个收发单元，每组内的收发单元连接到若干个天线单元。不同收发单元组内的收发单元可以独立的对接收到的信号进行波束赋形，并送到基带处理单元进行后续计算。
终端可以用R个收发单元组分别接收至少R个来自不同方向的波束。因此终端建议的一个下行发送波束组合中可以有R个下行发送波束，也可以少于R个或者多于R个。
对于步骤503的实施，所述下行发送波束组合中不同波束的参考信号属于不同的参考信号集合。
具体的，终端建议的可以同时使用的下行发送波束组合中不同波束的参考信号应该属于不同的参考信号集合。
对于步骤503的实施，在选择所述下行发送波束组合时，也即在终端确定参考信号分组时可以包括以下方式之一：
方式一：选择Q个(Q为大于或等于1的整数)参考信号中属于同一个参考信号集合的参考信号为一个参考信号分组，由不同参考信号分组中的参考信号对应的下行发送波束构成的下行发送波束组合为所述下行发送波束组合。
具体的，Q个参考信号中属于同一个参考信号集合的参考信号为一个参考信号分组。此时，不同参考信号分组内的参考信号所代表的下行发送波束是可以同时使用的。
图10为参考信号配置示例一示意图，如图10所示，基站发送的参考信号属于4个参考信号集合，终端选择参考信号，分为2个参考信号分组，其中参考信号分组1中的参考信号属于参考信号集合1，参考信号分组2中的参考信号属于参考信号集合3。
方式二：选择Q个参考信号中属于若干个参考信号集合的参考信号作为一个参考信号分组，由不同参考信号分组中的参考信号对应的下行发送波束构成的下行发送波束组合为所述下行发送波束组合。
具体的，Q个参考信号中属于若干个参考信号集合的参考信号作为一个参考信号分组。此时，不同参考信号分组内的参考信号所代表的下行发送波束是可以同时使用的。
方式一和方式二中，任意两个属于不同参考信号分组的参考信号必然属于不同的参考信号集合。
图11为参考信号配置示例二示意图，如图11所示，基站发送的参考信号属于4个参考信号集合，终端选择参考信号，分为2个参考信号分组，其中参考信号分组1中的参考信号属于参考集合1和参考信号集合2，参考信号分组2中的参考信号属于参考信号集合3和参考信号集合4。
方式三：选择Q个参考信号中属于不同参考信号集合的参考信号作为一个参考信号分组，同一个参考信号分组的参考信号任意两个均不属于同一个参考信号集合，同一个参考信号分组中的参考信号对应的下行发送波束构成的组合为所述下行发送波束组合。
具体的，终端选择Q个参考信号中属于不同参考信号集合的参考信号作为一个参考信号分组。同一个参考信号分组的参考信号任意两个均不属于同一个参考信号集合。此时，同一个参考信号分组内的参考信号所代表的下行发送波束是可以同时使用的。
图12为参考信号配置示例三示意图，如图12所示，基站发送的参考信号属于4个参考信号集合，终端有2个收发单元组，终端选择参考信号，分为4个参考信号分组，其中参考信号分组1中的参考信号从参考集合1和参考信号集合2中各选取一个参考信号(RS1，RS6)，参考信号分组2中的参考信号从参考信号集合1和参考信号集合2中选取各选取一个参考信号(RS2，RS7)。参考信号分组3中的参考信号从参考集合3和参考信号集合4中各选取一个参考信号(RS9，RS14)，参考信号分组4中的参考信号从参考信号集合3和参考信号集合4中选取各选取一个参考信号(RS11，RS16)。

具体实施中，上述三种方式可以是基站选择并通知终端，或者终端选择用哪个方式，那么：如果是终端选择的话，终端上报的信息还可以包括分组方式的指示信息；如果是基 站选择的话，基站可以发给终端分组方式的指示信息。
对于步骤503的实施，在选择所述下行发送波束组合并上报基站时，上报的是终端选择的Q个参考信号的标识信息以及每个参考信号所归属的参考信号分组相关信息。
具体实施中可以为：终端上报选择的Q个参考信号的标识信息，以及每个参考信号所归属的参考信号分组相关信息。参考信号的标识信息可以是如资源索引、序列索引、时间索引、端口索引，以及它们之间的组合形式等。
对于每个参考信号，上报的信息可以采用如下三元组的形式：
{参考信号标识，参考信号接收质量，参考信号分组标识}
其中，参考信号标识：可以是终端所选择的参考信号在基站发送的
Figure PCTCN2018079889-appb-000020
个参考信号范围的标识，如编号；参考信号接收质量：可以是RSRP，或者其他的指标值；参考信号分组标识：终端对参考信号分组后，例如分为L组，可以用1,2,…,L分别对L个参考信号分组进行标识，对于所选择的参考信号则在上报信息中包括其所属的参考信号分组的标识。
需要说明的是，一个参考信号可以同时属于多个不同的参考信号分组，且其属于不同的参考信号分组时的参考信号接收质量可能不同。
相应的，在上报后，对于步骤403的实施，在基站接收终端上报的所述下行发送波束组合时，接收的是终端选择的Q个参考信号的标识信息以及每个参考信号所归属的参考信号分组相关信息。
实施中，还可以进一步包括：终端向基站上报参考信号分组的整体接收质量。
相应的，在基站侧则还可以进一步包括：基站接收终端上报的参考信号分组的整体接收质量。
具体实施中，终端还可以上报一个参考信号分组的整体接收质量，例如是该参考信号分组内的所有参考信号接收质量的平均值，或者是通过该参考信号分组内的所有参考信号所代表的波束向终端进行数据传输的吞吐量预测值、信道容量预测值等。
相应的，在上报后，对于步骤404的实施，如果基站接收终端发送的参考信号分组信息；
则基站根据所述下行发送波束组合确定向终端发送数据的下行发送波束，包括以下方式之一：
如果两个参考信号属于同一个参考信号分组，则这两个参考信号的下行发送波束可以同时使用，其中，同一个参考信号分组中的参考信号对应的下行发送波束构成的组合为所述下行发送波束组合；
如果两个参考信号属于不同参考信号分组，则这两个参考信号的下行发送波束可以同时使用，其中，由不同参考信号分组中的参考信号对应的下行发送波束构成的组合为所述下行发送波束组合。
具体的，基站接收终端上报的Q个参考信号的标识信息，每个参考信号所归属的参考信号分组相关信息。
根据接收到的信息，基站可以判断可以同时使用哪些下行发送波束向终端发送数据。根据步骤503中采用的方式，具体判断方式可以为：
1、如果两个参考信号属于同一个参考信号分组，则这两个参考信号的下行发送波束可以同时使用。
2、如果两个参考信号属于不同参考信号分组，则这两个参考信号的下行发送波束可以同时使用。
基站据此选择相应的传输方式，例如通过多个下行发送波束同时发送多个并行数据流实现空分复用，或者将一个数据流通过多个下行发送波束同时发送，实现空间分集传输。
