Description

信道状态信息反馈和接收方法、发送端设备和接收端设备
本申请要求于2017年09月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710896701.1、申请名称为“信道状态信息反馈和接收方法、发送端设备和接收端设备”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种信道状态信息反馈和接收方法、发送端设备和接收端设备。
背景技术
大规模多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,Massive MIMO)是业界公认的5G关键技术之一,通过使用大规模天线,实现频谱效率的显著提升。
基站获取的信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI)的准确性在很大程度上决定了Massive MIMO的性能。在信道互异性不能很好满足的时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)系统或频分双工(frequency division duplex,FDD)系统中,通常采用码本来量化CSI。因此,码本设计是Massive MIMO的一个关键问题,也是本申请所要解决的问题。
长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统中,波束组合(beam combination)技术通常如下:从预先定义的码本中选择多个码字,并将该多个码字的加权之和作为预编码向量。一般一个码字对应一个波束(beam)方向,即从多个备选码字中选取最优的多个码字,并将该多个码字中的每一码字的每一加权系数(即叠加系数,包括宽带叠加系数和窄带叠加系数)以预编码矩阵指示(pre-coding matrix indicator,PMI)的形式作为CSI信息上报。新无线(new radio,NR)Massive MIMO对信道状态信息反馈提出更高要求,上述机制已无法满足NR节省信令开销的需求。
发明内容
为了满足NR Massive MIMO系统对于信道状态信息反馈提出的要求,本申请提供了一种信道状态信息反馈和接收方法、发送端设备和接收端设备。
本申请提供了一种信道状态信息反馈方法,包括:发送端设备生成K层传输层的码本指示信息,K是大于等于1的整数;其中,对于K层传输层的至少一层传输层中的每层传输层,该码本指示信息包括:该层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数;N个子带的窄带叠加系数的个数小于R(L-1)*N;N是大于等于2的整数,R是极化方向个数,R是大于等于1的整数,L是K层传输层使用的波束信息的个数,L是大于等于2的整数;发送端设备发送该码本指示信息。接收端设备接收K层传输层的码本指示信息,然后根据该码本指示信息,确定K层传输层各层的预编码向量。该技术方案中,对于K层传输层中的至少一层传输层中的每一层传输层来说,码本指示信息携带的该层传输层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数的个数小于R(L-1)*N,也就是说,相比现有技术,反馈的叠加系数减少,这有助于降低信道状态信息的反馈开销。

可以理解的,上述执行归一化的技术方案,可以使得转换后的矩阵、T列元素或归一化后的T列元素在有限范围内进行量化,这样,能够降低接收端设备恢复出的矩阵C与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C之间的差异,从而提高最终得到的预编码向量的精确度。

具体实施方式
下面就结合相应的附图对本申请实施例提供的技术方案进行详细的描述。
如图1所示,是本申请提供的技术方案所适用的一种无线通信网络100的示意图。如图1所示,无线通信网络100包括基站102~106和终端设备108~122,其中,基站102~106彼此之间可通过回程(backhaul)链路(如基站102~106彼此之间的直线所示)进行通信,该回程链路可以是有线回程链路(例如光纤、铜缆),也可以是无线回程链路(例如微波)。终端设备108~122可通过无线链路(如基站102~106与终端设备108~122之间的折线所示)与对应的基站102~106通信。
基站102~106用于为终端设备108~122提供无线接入服务。具体来说,每个基站都对应一个服务覆盖区域(又可称为蜂窝,如图1中各椭圆区域所示),进入该区域的终端设备可通过无线信号与基站通信,以此来接受基站提供的无线接入服务。基站的服务覆盖区域之间可能存在交叠,处于交叠区域内的终端设备可收到来自多个基站的无线信号,因此可以同时由多个基站为该终端设备提供服务。例如,多个基站可以采用多点协作(coordinated multipoint,CoMP)技术为处于上述交叠区域的终端设备提供服务。例如,如图1所示,基站102与基站104的服务覆盖区域存在交叠,终端设备112便处于该交叠区域之内,因此终端设备112可以收到来自基站102和基站104的无线信号,基站102和基站104可以同时为终端设备112提供服务。又例如,如图1所示,基站102、基站104和基站106的服务覆盖区域存在一个共同的交叠区域,终端设备120便处于该交叠区域之内,因此终端设备120可以收到来自基站102、104和106的无线信号,基站102、104和106可以同时为终端设备120提供服务。
依赖于所使用的无线通信技术,基站又可称为节点B(NodeB),演进节点B(evolved  NodeB,eNodeB)以及接入点(access point,AP)等。此外,根据所提供的服务覆盖区域的大小,基站又可分为用于提供宏蜂窝(macro cell)的宏基站、用于提供微蜂窝(pico cell)的微基站和用于提供毫微微蜂窝(femto cell)的毫微微基站。随着无线通信技术的不断演进,未来的基站也可以采用其他的名称。
终端设备108~118是一种具有无线收发功能的设备可以部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持、穿戴或车载;也可以部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。所述终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑(Pad)、带无线收发功能的电脑、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)终端设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)终端设备、工业控制(industrial control)中的无线终端、无人驾驶(self driving)中的无线终端、远程医疗(remote medical)中的无线终端、智能电网(smart grid)中的无线终端、运输安全(transportation safety)中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等等。本申请的实施例对应用场景不做限定。终端设备有时也可以称为用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入终端设备、UE单元、UE站、移动站、移动台、远方站、远程终端设备、移动设备、UE终端设备、终端设备、无线通信设备、UE代理或UE装置等。
基站102~106,和终端设备108~122均可配置有多根天线,以支持多入多出
(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)技术。进一步的说,终端设备108~122既可以支持单用户MIMO(single-user MIMO,SU-MIMO)技术,也可以支持多用户MIMO(multi-user MIMO,MU-MIMO),其中MU-MIMO可以基于空分多址(space division multiple access,SDMA)技术来实现。由于配置有多根天线,基站102~106和终端设备108~122还可灵活支持单入单出(single input single output,SISO)技术、单入多出(single input multiple output,SIMO)和多入单出(multiple input single output,MISO)技术,以实现各种分集(例如但不限于发射分集和接收分集)和复用技术,其中分集技术可以包括例如但不限于(transmit diversity,TD)技术和接收分集(receive diversity,RD)技术,复用技术可以是空间复用(spatial multiplexing)技术。而且上述各种技术还可以包括多种实现方案,例如目前常用的发射分集可以包括,例如但不限于,空时发射分集(space-time transmit diversity,STTD)、空频发射分集(space-frequency transmit diversity,SFTD)、时间切换发射分集(time switched transmit diversity,TSTD)、频率切换发射分集(frequency switch transmit diversity,FSTD)、正交发射分集(orthogonal transmit diversity,OTD)、循环延迟分集(cyclic delay diversity,CDD)等分集方式,以及上述各种分集方式经过衍生、演进以及组合后获得的分集方式。例如,目前LTE标准便采用了空时块编码
(space time block coding,STBC)、空频块编码(space frequency block coding,SFBC)和CDD等发射分集方式。
此外,基站102与终端设备104~110可采用各种无线通信技术进行通信,例如但不限于,时分多址(time division multiple access,TDMA)技术、频分多址(frequency division multiple access,FDMA)技术、码分多址(code division multiple access,CDMA)技术、时分同步码分多址(time division-synchronous code division multiple  access,TD-SCDMA)、正交频分多址(orthogonal FDMA,OFDMA)技术、单载波频分多址(single carrier FDMA,SC-FDMA)技术、空分多址(space division multiple access,SDMA)技术以及这些技术的演进及衍生技术等。上述无线通信技术作为无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)被众多无线通信标准所采纳,从而构建出了在今天广为人们所熟知的各种无线通信系统(或者网络),包括但不限于全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communications,GSM)、CDMA2000、宽带CDMA(wideband CDMA,WCDMA)、由802.11系列标准中定义的WiFi、全球互通微波存取(worldwide interoperability for microwave access,WiMAX)、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)、LTE升级版(LTE-advanced,LTE-A)以及这些无线通信系统的演进系统等。图1所示的无线通信网络便可以是上述无线通信系统中的任意系统或者网络。如无特别说明,本申请实施例提供的技术方案可应用于上述各种无线通信技术和无线通信系统。此外,术语“系统”和“网络”可以相互替换。
应注意,图1所示的无线通信网络100仅用于举例,并非用于限制本申请的技术方案。本领域的技术人员应当明白,在具体实现过程中,无线通信网络100还包括其他设备,同时也可根据具体需要来配置基站和终端设备的数量。
示例的,上述无线通信网络100中,网络设备例如基站需要获得信道状态信息,就需要终端上报准确的CSI,通常是以预编码码本的形式,将信道状态信息上报至基站。
在详细说明本申请的实现方式之前,首先对预编码码本说明如下,另外,本申请相关技术在中国申请号为201710284175.3,发明名称为“一种指示及确定预编码向量的方法和设备”里有介绍,可全文参考。
基于波束组合机制的高精度CSI反馈,预编码码本可以表示为两级码本结构:
W=W 1×W 2
其中,W1是长时宽带的信息,W2是短时窄带的信息。W1包含需要反馈的波束索引(beam index)和宽带叠加系数,W2包含窄带叠加系数。宽带叠加系数对应的是宽带幅度的量化,窄带叠加系数对应的是窄带幅度和窄带相位的量化。其中,宽带叠加系数可以包括宽带幅度系数,窄带叠加系数可以包括窄带幅度系数和窄带相位系数。
通常,对于K层传输层(rank-K)的预编码码本,其中某一传输层的码本可以表示为:

为窄带叠加系数,代表了对窄带叠加系数的量化。窄带叠加系数包括窄带相位系数。可选的,还可以包括窄带幅度系数。上述公式1中是以窄带叠加系数包括窄带幅度系数和窄带相位系数为例进行说明的。

为窄带幅度系数,代表了对窄带幅度的量化。
Figure PCTCN2018105572-appb-000008
为窄带相位系数,代表了对窄带相位的量化。其中,0≤i<L,L为该层传输层使用的波束信息个数。
需要说明的是,上文中的预编码码本可以认为是申请号为201710284175.3,发明名称为“一种指示及确定预编码向量的方法和设备”中的理想预编码向量。另外,公式1中是以极化方向个数是2为例进行说明的。
以上方案描述了1层传输层(rank1)对应的预编码码本,对于K层传输层(rank-K)的预编码码本,上述W2码本矩阵将为K列,对应W2反馈开销将是rank1的K倍,这会增加反馈开销。
本申请提供了一种可以实现低开销的信道状态信息反馈和接收方法,具体的在上述无线通信网络100中,具体的,本申请中的发送端设备可以是上述无线通信网络100中的终端设备,该情况下,接收端设备可以是上述无线通信网络100中的基站。另外,本申请中的发送端设备也可以是上述无线通信网络100中的基站,该情况下,接收端设备可以是上述无线通信网络100中的终端设备。本申请提供的信道状态信息反馈和接收方法如图2所示,包括如下步骤200至步骤203:
步骤200、发送端设备生成K层传输层的码本指示信息,K是大于等于1的整数;其中,对于K层传输层的至少一层传输层中的每层传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息包括:该层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数;N个子带的窄带叠加系数的个数小于R(L-1)*N;N是大于等于2的整数,R是极化方向个数,R是大于等于1的整数,L是K层传输层使用的波束信息的个数,L是大于等于2的整数。
其中,K层传输层使用的L个波束信息可以用于指示一组波束b 0~b L-1。波束信息即用于指示波束的信息,例如但不限于是波束的索引。本申请中,一个波束对应一个波束信息。K层传输层使用的L个波束信息是指接收端设备用于构建该K层传输层时所使用的L个波束信息。在一些示例中,对于每一传输层,接收端设备均使用该L个波束信息中的全部波束信息来构建该传输层的预编码向量。
R(L-1)*N,表示一层传输层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数构成的矩阵归一化后得到的矩阵中需要传输的元素个数。为了清楚说明N*R(L-1)的含义,首先可参考上述公式1。在上述公式1中,
Figure PCTCN2018105572-appb-000009
具体表示一层传输层的一个子带的窄带叠加系数构成的向量,该向量是2L*1的向量。进一步地,一层传输层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数构成一个矩阵C,矩阵C是一个2L*N的矩阵。可以理解的,若极化方向个数为R,R是大于等于2的整数,则该矩阵C是RL*N的矩阵。在一种可选的实现方式中,可以对矩阵C进行归一化。并且,作为归一化基准的窄带叠加系数往往不需要传输。可以理解的,对RL*N的矩阵进行归一化后,一般需要传输除作为归一化基准的窄带叠加系数之外的R(L-1)*N个元素。关于对矩阵C进行归一化的具体实现方式,本申请不进行限定。
应注意,本申请中,步骤200中以及上述对R(L-1)*N的解释中,描述的窄带叠加 系数,具体是指窄带叠加系数组合。具体的,若窄带叠加系数仅包括窄带相位系数,则矩阵C中的每一元素表示一个窄带相位系数。若窄带叠加系数包括窄带幅度系数和窄带相位系数,则矩阵C中的每一元素表示一个窄带幅度系数与其对应的窄带相位系数的乘积。
应注意,一层传输层的N个子带,通常可以是一层传输层的全部子带。并且,对于K层传输层中的部分或全部传输层中的每一传输层来说,码本指示信息中携带的关于该传输层的窄带叠加系数均可以参考上述步骤200。
应注意,实际实现时,K层传输层的码本指示信息还可以例如但不限于包括以下信息中的至少一种:K层传输层使用的波束信息,宽带叠加系数等信息。
应注意,对于K层传输层中的其他任一层传输层来说,该码本指示信息中包含的信息可以参考上述技术方案,也可以按照现有技术中的方法实现。例如,对于K层传输层中的其他任一层传输层来说,码本指示信息中包含R(L-1)*N个窄带叠加系数,或者,包含RL*N个窄带叠加系数等。其中R(L-1)*N和RL*N的解释可参考上文。
步骤201:发送端设备发送K层传输层的码本指示信息。
K层传输层的码本指示信息可以是PMI,也可以是其他信息。K层传输层的码本指示信息可以携带在一个或者多个消息进行传输。另外,K层传输层的码本指示信息中的不同信息的传输周期可以相同,也可以不同。例如,相比较而言,K层传输层使用的波束信息和宽带叠加系数可以是长周期传输,窄带叠加系数可以是短周期传输。
步骤202、接收端设备接收K层传输层的码本指示信息。
步骤203、接收端设备根据K层传输层的码本指示信息,生成K层传输层各层的预编码向量。
关于步骤200中所述的至少一层传输层中任一层传输层的预编码向量的获取方式可参考下文,此处不再赘述。关于K层传输层中的除该至少一层之外的其他层传输层的预编码向量,可以按照现有技术中的方法实现。例如,若对于K层传输层中的其他任一层传输层来说,码本指示信息中包含R(L-1)*N个窄带叠加系数,或者,包含RL*N个窄带叠加系数,则接收端设备可以按照上述公式1获取该层传输层的预编码向量。
本申请提供的技术方案中,对于K层传输层中的至少一层传输层中的每一层传输层来说,码本指示信息携带的该层传输层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数的个数小于R(L-1)*N,也就是说,相比现有技术,反馈的叠加系数减少,这有助于降低信道状态信息的反馈开销。
本申请对如何实现码本指示信息携带的一层传输层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数的个数小于R(L-1)*N,不进行限定。下面提供几种可能的实现方式。
在下述各实现方式中,假设对于任一传输层(为了便于描述,下文标记为第一传输层),表示该层的N个子带的窄带叠加系数构成矩阵C,矩阵C中的元素个数是RL*N。关于矩阵C中的元素个数及矩阵C的构成方式等均可以参考上文。
方式一:发送端设备对矩阵C进行转换,得到至少两个子矩阵。该情况下,对于第一传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息中包括该至少两个子矩阵中的部分或全部元素。
方式二:发送端设备对矩阵C进行归一化,并对归一化后的矩阵进行转换,得到至少两个子矩阵。该情况下,对于第一传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息中包括该至少 两个子矩阵中的部分或全部元素。
基于方式一、二,步骤203可以包括:根据所述至少两个子矩阵中的元素,以及执行转换步骤时使用的算法,恢复出矩阵C,并根据恢复出的矩阵C,确定第一传输层的预编码向量。
需要说明的是,发送端设备执行转换步骤时使用的算法不同,和/或,K层传输层码本的指示信息中传输的信息不同等,可能会使得接收端设备恢复出的矩阵C,与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C有所差异。可以理解的,对于接收端设备来说,其并不知道恢复出的矩阵C与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C是否有差异。
其中,发送端设备执行转换步骤时使用的算法,可以例如但不限于是以下至少一种:奇异值分解(singular value decomposition,SVD)算法、正交三角(QR)分解算法。
以发送端设备执行转换步骤时使用的算法是SVD算法为例。对矩阵C进行SVD,得到的矩阵可以表示如下:C=USV H。其中,U和V H是酉矩阵,S是对角矩阵。U是RL*RL的矩阵,V H是N*N的矩阵。S是RL*N的矩阵。矩阵S的对角线上的值表示矩阵C的特征值。V H是矩阵V的共轭转置矩阵。该示例中,对于第一传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息中可以包括:矩阵S的对角线上的t个特征值,矩阵U中的t个列,以及矩阵V H中的t个行(即矩阵V中的t个列)。其中,t是小于或等于矩阵C的秩的一个值。一般地,矩阵U中的t个列,可以例如但不限于是矩阵U中的前t个列;矩阵V中的t个列,可以例如但不限于是矩阵V中的t个列。
可以理解的,若t等于矩阵C的秩,则接收端设备可以无损地恢复出矩阵C,即接收端设备恢复出的矩阵C与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C相同。另外,可以理解的,是否对矩阵C进行归一化,会影响到矩阵S中对角线上的元素的值的大小。
对于上述方式一来说,K层传输层的码本指示信息中携带的矩阵S中的元素(即矩阵C的特征值)的量化范围是0~Tmax,其中,Tmax通常是一个经验值。对于上述方式二来说,K层传输层的码本指示信息中携带的矩阵S中的元素(即矩阵C的特征值)的量化范围是0~1。方式二中,通过归一化使得矩阵S中的元素可以在有限范围内进行量化,这样,能够降低接收端设备恢复出的矩阵C与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C之间的差异,从而提高最终得到的预编码向量的精确度。其中,发送端设备对矩阵C进行归一化,可以通过以下两种方式之一实现:1)、发送端设备对矩阵C中的各元素统一进行归一化,具体的:将矩阵C中的值最大的元素作为归一化基准对该矩阵C中的其他元素进行归一化。2)、发送端设备对矩阵C的每列中的各元素统一进行归一化,具体的:对于矩阵C中的每列元素,将该列元素中的值最大的元素作为归一化基准对该列元素中的其他元素进行归一化。
方式三:发送端设备从矩阵C中选择T列元素。其中,T小于矩阵C的列数。该情况下,对于第一传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息中包括该T列元素。
方式四:发送端设备从矩阵C中选择T列元素,并对该T列元素进行归一化。其中,T小于矩阵C的列数。该情况下,对于第一传输层,K层传输层的码本指示信息中包括归一化后的该T列元素。
基于方式三、四,步骤203可以包括:根据T列元素,以及T列元素在矩阵C中的位 置信息,恢复出矩阵C,并根据矩阵C,确定第一传输层的预编码向量。应注意,对于上述方式四,步骤203中的T列元素具体是指归一化后的T列元素。由于对于接收端设备来说,其并不知道也不需要知道该T列元素是否是经归一化后的元素,因此,从接收端设备的角度来说,认为该T列元素即是矩阵C中的T列元素。
可以理解的,由于同一传输层的不同子带之间具有相关性,矩阵C中的每一列元素表示该传输层的一个子带的窄带叠加系数构成的向量,因此,接收端设备可以根据预估的T列元素对应的T个子带与其余的C-T个子带之间的相关性,通过插值(如线性插值)等方式恢复出矩阵C。
发送端设备从矩阵C或者矩阵C归一化后得到的矩阵中选择出T列元素时,所使用的规则(下文中称为选择规则),本申请对此不进行限定。并且,该选择规则可以例如但不限于是静态配置的,如发送端设备和接收端设备依据协议配置的;或者是半静态配置的,如通过无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令或媒体接入控制(medium access control,MAC)信令等配置的;或者是动态配置的,如通过下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)来配置。可以理解的,无论是静态、半静态还是动态配置选择规则,均是为了使接收端设备知道该T列元素在矩阵C中的位置信息。换言之,可以理解为:该T列元素在矩阵C中的位置信息可以是预设的,也可以是通过信令配置的。
其中,选择规则,可以例如但不限于是以下其中一种:从矩阵C中选择出奇数列的规则,从矩阵C中选择出偶数列的规则,从矩阵C的某列开始每隔若干个列选择一列的规则,从矩阵C中选择出前T列的规则,从矩阵C中选择出后T列的规则,从矩阵C的某列开始连续选择出T列的规则,等等。
本申请对T列元素在矩阵C中的位置信息具体包括哪些信息不进行限定。例如,可以是选择规则,也可以是选择出的T列元素的列的编号等。
对于上述方式三来说,K层传输层的码本指示信息中携带的T列元素的量化范围是0~Tmax,其中,Tmax通常是一个经验值。对于上述方式四来说,K层传输层的码本指示信息中携带的T列元素的量化范围是0~1。方式四中,通过归一化使得T列元素可以在有限范围内进行量化,这样,能够降低接收端设备恢复出的矩阵C与发送端设备执行转换步骤前的矩阵C之间的差异,从而提高最终得到的预编码向量的精确度。其中,发送端设备对T列元素进行归一化,可以通过以下方式实现:发送端设备对选择出的T列元素的每列中的各元素统一进行归一化,具体的:对于该T列元素的每列元素,将该列元素中的值最大的元素作为归一化基准对该列元素中的其他元素进行归一化。
