Description

一种下行信号发送方法以及基站 技术领域
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种下行信号发送方法以及基站。
背景技术
随着移动通信产业的发展,用户逐渐从旧的通信系统向新的通信系统迁移,如用户从2G或3G向4G或5G迁移。用户的迁移使得旧的通信系统的频谱越来越空闲,新的通信系统的频谱越来越紧张,但是旧的通信系统的用户数不会立刻降为0,有可能在较长时间内维持在一定水平上,因此运营商不能关闭旧的通信系统,并将其频谱用在新的通信系统上。
当下,可以通过频谱共享来解决上述问题,即同一段频谱服务两个或多个通信系统。例如UMTS系统和LTE系统或NR系统,如果某段时间UMTS系统的业务量低而LTE系统或NR系统的业务量高,那么UMTS系统就去激活某个或某几个载波,UMTS去激活的载波就留给LTE系统或NR系统使用。如果某段时间UMTS系统的业务量高而LTE系统或NR系统的业务量低,那么就LTE就去激活某个或某几个载波,LTE系统或NR系统去激活的载波就留给UMTS系统使用。
由于UMTS系统对LTE系统或NR系统让出频谱必须以5MHz为单位,如果UMTS系统只剩下一个5MHz的载波,由于UMTS系统还有用户需要使用,则无法继续让出该5MHz,如果让出了该5MHz,则UMTS系统将无资源可用。

具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”和“具有”以及他们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
请参考图1,为本申请实施例中的系统结构,包括基站和多个终端,其中,多个终端中包括使用第一通信制式的和使用第二通信制式的,本申请实施例中,第一通信制式以UMTS为例进行说明,第二通信制式以LTE为例进行说明。
本申请实施例中的基站,也可称为基站设备,是一种部署在无线接入网用以提供无线通信功能的设备。在不同的无线接入系统中基站的叫法可能有所不同,例如在通用移动通讯系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)网络中基站称为节点B(NodeB),而在LTE网络中的基站称为演进的节点B(evolved NodeB,eNB或者eNodeB),在新空口(new radio,NR)网络中的基站称为收发点(transmission reception point,TRP)或者下一代节点B(generation nodeB,gNB),或者在其他多种技术融合的网络中,或者在其他各种演进网络中的基站也可能采用其他叫法。本发明并不限于此。
终端,又称之为用户设备,是一种向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,例如,具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、车载设备等。常见的终端例如包括:手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑、掌上电脑、移动互联网设备(mobile internet device,MID)、可穿戴设备,例如智能手表、智能手环、计步器等。
需要说明的是,在5G时代中,物联网终端密度可能比现有手机密度高出10倍,也即人均拥有10个联网终端,汽车、自行车、空调、灯具、窗帘、门锁、电表、手表、衣帽、音响、行李箱都可能实现联网,快递也会实现实时查看,工业机器人通过网络进行配置等,物联网将成为改变人们生活的最大亮点。与此同时,5G的终端的基带芯片计算能力更强,基带的提升也即手机核心处理器的提升,基带芯片包括CPU处理器、信道编码器、数字信号处理器、调制解调器和接口模块,先进编码调制对信道编码器提出了要求;新型多址、新型多载波对调制解调器提出了要求;大规模MIMO、全双工、高频段通信、超密集组网由于提升了数据量,对整个芯片都提出了要求。5G的终端的天线更加多元,除了目前的双天线,多天线技术会出现,同时,高频段小尺寸天线也会集成在手机之中。
在本系统架构中,基站可以同时具备多种通信制式的功能,即具备同时服务使用多种通信制的终端的能力,例如,基站可以通知具备UMTS和LTE的功能,可以同时服务使用UMTS和LTE的终端的能力。
随着移动通信产业的发展,用户逐渐从旧的通信系统向新的通信系统迁移,因此旧的通信系统的频谱越来越空闲,新的通信系统的频谱越来越紧张。但是由于旧的通信系统还是有人用的,不能马上关闭,当下可以通过频谱共享来解决这个问题,即同一段频谱服务两个或多个通信系统。
以UMTS系统和LTE系统为例,如果某段时间UMTS系统的业务量低而LTE系统的业务量高,那么UMTS系统就去激活某个或某几个载波,UMTS去激活的载波就留给LTE系统使用;如果某段时间UMTS系统的业务量高而LTE系统的业务量低,那么就LTE就去激活某个或某几个载波,LTE去激活的载波就留给UMTS系统使用。由于UMTS系统对LTE系统或NR系统让出频谱必须以5MHz为单位,这时,如果UMTS系统只剩下一个5MHz的载波,则无法继续让出该5MHz。
在本申请实施例中,以第一基站为使用正交频分复用的第一通信制式(如LTE或NR)的基站,第二基站为使用扩频码或扰码的第二通信制式(如UMTS)的基站,当第一基站使用目标载波发送下行信号时,目标载波中的第一调度子载波所承载的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,由于该目标载波还包括不同于该第一调度子载波的受控子载波,该受控子载波的第二调制符号是根据第一调度子载波的第一调制符号、第二基站使用的正交可变扩频因子OVSF码和所述第二基站所使用的扰码确定的,且所述第一调度子载波和所述受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与所述OVSF码正交的,因此,当使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信号并解扩解扰后,使用第二通信制式的终端将会得不到该下行信号所承载的信息,使得不造成干扰,使得使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,而不会造成对使用第二通信制式的终端的干扰。
为便于理解,下面对本申请实施例中的具体流程进行描述,请参阅图2,本申请中一种下行信号发送方法的一个实施例包括:
201、第一基站获取第二基站的码道信息。
在本申请实施例中,第一基站可以预先获取第二基站的码道信息,该码道信息包括该第二基站使用的正交可变扩频因子OVSF码和该第二基站所使用的扰码。需要说明的是,第一基站为使用正交频分复用OFDM的第一通信制式的基站,该第二基站为使用扩频码或扰码的第二通信制式的基站。
在本申请实施例中,第一通信制式为使用正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)的通信制式,该第一通信制式是多载波调制(Multi-CarrierModulation,MCM)中的一种。在MCM技术中,把数据流分解为若干个子数据流,从而使子数据流具有低得多的传输比特速率,利用这些数据分别去调制若干个子载波。在使用该MCM技术的该第一通信制式下,将信道分成若干正交子信道,将高速数据信号转换成并行的低速子数据流,调制到在每个子信道上进行传输,正交信号可以通过在接收端采用相关技术来分开,这样可以减少子信道之间的相互干扰,每个子信道上的信号带宽小于信道的相关带宽, 因此每个子信道上的可以看成平坦性衰落,从而可以消除符号间干扰,而且由于每个子信道的带宽仅仅是原信道带宽的一小部分,信道均衡变得相对容易。
在本申请实施例中,该第一通信制式可以包括长期演进技术(Long Term Evolution,LTE)的通信制式和新无线NR的通信制式。其中,LTE是由第三代合作伙伴计划(The 3rd Generation Partnership Project,3GPP)组织技术标准的长期演进,LTE系统引入了OFDM和多输入多输出(Multi-Input&Multi-Output,MIMO)等关键技术,显著增加了频谱效率和数据传输速率。而且该LTE系统支持多种带宽分配:1.4MHz,3MHz,5MHz,10MHz,15MHz和20MHz等,且支持全球主流2G/3G频段和一些新增频段,因而频谱分配更加灵活,系统容量和覆盖也显著提升。
在本申请实施例中,该第二基站为使用扩频码或扰码的第二通信制式的基站,如通用移动通信系统(Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,UMTS)制式和码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access 2000,CDMA2000)制式,其中,CDMA2000是数字移动通信进程中出现的一种无线扩频通信技术,具有频谱利用率高、话音质量好、保密性强、掉话率低、电磁辐射小、容量大、覆盖广等特点。
在本申请实施例中,扩频码又称为信道化码,用于区分来自同一小区的不同传输连接,从下行信号看,扩频码用于区别一个小区的不同链路连接。
在一些可行的实施例中,第一基站和第二基站可以为同一个基站,也可以为不同的基站。若为同一个基站,则可以分别使用不同的天线用于分别发送第一通信制式和第二通信制式的信号,此处不做限定。
若第一基站和第二基站为同一个基站,当需要共站发射的第一通信制式和第二通信制式分别有不同的发射天线数时的处理方法,不同的通信制式使用不同的数目的发射天线发射出去,发射天线数小的制式的信号被复制几份占满发射天线数多的制式使用的天线。例如,第一通信制式在四个天线发,其中包括第二通信制式的两个天线a和b,于是第一基站(或第二基站)在分别发a/sqrt(2),a/sqrt(2),b/sqrt(2),b/sqrt(2),也可以分别发a,b/sqrt(3),b/sqrt(3),b/sqrt(3),还可以发a/sqrt(3),a/sqrt(3),a/sqrt(3),b,此处不做限定。(sqrt系Square Root Calculations,即平方根计算)
在本申请实施例中,若第二通信制式为UMTS,该第二基站发送的下行信号是不同物理信道的信号的叠加,除SCH(包括P-SCH和S-SCH)以外的物理信道应用小区特定的扰码,即一个小区的不同物理信道使用相同的扰码,和不同的OVSF码(扩频码),这些物理信道通常被叫做不同的码道。如UMTS系统中使用的扩频码按照图3(为UMTS的扩频码的取值方式示意图)所示的方法取值,扩频码的序列中每个元素的取值为1或-1,其中,下行使用的扰码长度为38400码片,对应10ms的无线帧长,扰码序列的每个元素为模为1的复数。
202、该第一基站确定第一调度子载波的第一调制符号。
在本申请实施例中,当第一基站需要向使用第一通信制式的终端发行下行信号时,可以根据相关协议确定目标载波中的第一调度子载波及其第一调制符号,该第一调度子载波为用于承载向使用第一通信制式的终端发送下行信号的子载波,以确定当该第一基站使用该目标载波发送下行信号时,该第一通信制式的终端可以接收到相关的信息。
203、该第一基站根据该码道信息和该第一调制符号确定受控子载波的第二调制符号。
在本申请实施例中,当获取了第二基站的码道信息和确定了第一调度子载波的第一符号后,可以通过计算确定该受控子载波的第二调度符号,该受控子载波与该第一调度子载波是不同的子载波,以使得该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与该OVSF码正交。
在一些可行的实施例中,若第一通信制式是LTE或NR,第二通信制式是UMTS,LTE或NR的基带采样频率和UMTS的基带采样频率的大小关系的不同,可以导致其计算方法的不同。
需要说明的是,一个基站中的基带处理单元(Base band Unit,BBU)与射频拉远单元(Radio Remote Unit,RRU)之间的接口是公共无线电(Common Public Radio Interface,CPRI)接口,通过该CPRI接口传递基带信号采样。UMTS下行的CPRI接口的采样频率为3.84MHz,基带信号采样通过CPRI到RRU后,经过处理(例如上变频等)变为射频信号通过天线发射出去。
而作为4G的LTE系统分为时分双工(Time Division Duplexing,TDD)和频分双工(Frequency Division Duplexing,FDD),不同于UMTS的下行信号是由不同码道的信号的叠加,LTE的下行信号是不同频率的子载波信号的叠加,不同系统带宽的LTE系统有不同的CPRI接口速率,见表1,LTE的子载波间隔Δf=15kHz。一个有用OFDM符号的持续时间为
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000001
该持续时间等于UMTS里的256个码片的持续时间,因为
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000002
LTE基带信号的采样频率等于FFT点数与子载波间隔的乘积。容易知道,LTE的一个有用OFDM符号被采样成“FFT点数”个采样点。需要说明的是,实际系统中的采样频率可以高于表1中的数值,也就是过采样,LTE系统也可以部署多个载波,其中每个载波的带宽在表1中选取(按照协议,多个载波的带宽的选取在不同的频段会有不同的限制,不是从表中任意选取),表1中的“FFT点数”是产品实现一般会采用的数值,采用其他数值也可以。
表1:不同系统带宽的LTE系统的有关参数
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000003
一、LTE或NR的基带采样频率等于UMTS的基带采样频率。
在一些可行的实施例中,当LTE或NR的基带采样频率等于UMTS的基带采样频率时,即如表1所示的系统带宽为3MHz的LTE系统的基带信号采样频率等于UMTS的基带采样频率3.84MHz。为了简单起见,下面以3MHz的LTE系统为例描述具体算法,该描述可照 搬到有相同采样频率的NR系统中。
LTE系统中的一个有用OFDM符号的起始时刻与UMTS系统中的一个符号的起始时刻不一定相同,为了对计算方式方便解释,我们假设该有用OFDM符号和UMTS系统中的一个符号如图4(OFDM有用符号与UMTS扩频码在时间上的对应关系的示意图)所示的两者相同的场景。在本申请实施例中,轻载的UMTS下行使用了公共信道P-CPICH和P-CCPCH,它们使用SF=256的OVSF码,如图4中所用的C_(ch,256,n)(n=0,1)来表示OVSF码如图3所示,其中,n表示OVSF码的序号,这与技术规范中的记号一致。假设基站除了发送这两个公共信道,还发送其他使用SF=128的信道,例如,发向特定UE的专用信道DPCH,在DPCH上传R99业务,例如AMR12.2k的语音业务。
在本申请实施例中,图4中标P-CPICH的长条对应P-CPICH的一个符号的持续时间,该符号被SF为256的OVSF码扩频,每个符号被扩展成256个码片,这个持续时间正好等于OFDM有用符号的持续时间,标“SF128,e.g.,R99etc.”的两个长条对应使用SF为128的OVSF码扩频的信道的两个符号的持续时间,每个符号被扩展成128个码片,两个符号正好是256个码片,总的持续时间等于一个OFDM有用符号的持续时间。
以下为具体的计算方法:
1、设值。
假设第一基站从目标载波(5MHz)中选择N 1个子载波作为第一调度子载波,它们对应的快速傅里叶逆变换IFFT索引(从1开始计数)的集合记为K 1,该第一调度子载波的第一调制符号构成的N 1×1的列向量记为s,然后,从LTE中的该目标载波中该调度子载波之外的不使用的子载波中选择一部分作为受控子载波。需要说明的是,受控子载波可以是当前没有调度的子载波,也可以是保护带上的子载波,此处不做限定。再假设受控子载波个数为N 2,它们对应的IFFT索引(从1开始计数)的集合记为K 2,这些子载波上所传的调制符号构成的N 1×1的列向量记为x。
2、计算。
令G为L×L的归一化的离散傅里叶逆变换IDFT矩阵,本申请实施例中,以系统带宽为3MHz为例,则其FFT点数为256,即L为256,则G的第m(1≤m≤256)行第n(1≤n≤256)列的元素为
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000004
其中,j是虚数单位。
然后,只保留G中列的索引(从1开始计数)为集合K 1的元素的那些列,删掉G的其余列,所得的256×N 1的矩阵记为T;只保留G中列的索引(从1开始计数)为集合K 2的元素的那些列,删掉G的其余列,所得的256×N 2的矩阵记为R,则可以得到LTE系统的正交频分复用OFDM的有用符号的采样构成的256×1的列向量:
g=Ts+Rx(1)
记S为256×256的对角矩阵,其对角线元素为在这256个码片的持续时间内扰码的取值,记OVSF码C ch,256,n(n=0,1)构成的256×1的列向量为u n,记OVSF码C ch,128,k构成的128×1的列向量为v k
令(2M+2)×256的矩阵:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000005
UMTS系统中的终端对收到的LTE系统的信号解扰解扩完后得到的(2M+2)个符号(其中两个符号的SF为256,其余的2M个符号的SF为128)设为的(2M+2)×1的列向量:
r=AS Hg(3)
令x=r,得到该受控子载波的第二调制符号x。
3、功率优化。
需要说明的是,在本申请实施例中,为了不浪费太多的功率,在根据所述码道信息和该第一调制符号确定受控子载波的第二调制符号之后,可以确保该第一下行信号的功率小于或等于预设功率,因而设置预设功率,以使得计算出来的目标载波发射时,其功率小于该预设功率,以使得当该第一基站使用该目标载波发送第一下行信号,且使用该第二通信制式的终端接收到该第一下行信号时,解扩解扰该第一下行信号后得不到或得到极少的信息,使得此类干扰非常小,因此使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,从而实现无干扰或少干扰的通信。
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000006
为满足预设功率P的受控子载波的第二调制符号x。
我们希望选取合适的x最小化UMTS的终端看到的LTE的干扰的功率,即最小化:
||r|| 2(4)
其中,||·||表示向量的欧式范数。
最小化式(4)时,还需要给出约束条件:
||x|| 2≤P(5)
即UMTS的额外使用的码道功率不超过预设功率P。
根据式(1)和式(3)得到公式:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000007
令:
K=AS HR(7)
b=-AS HTs(8)
那么上述优化问题简化为:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000008
由卡罗需-库恩-塔克条件(Karush-Kuhn-Tucker Conditions,KKT)得到:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000009
如果λ>0,那么:
||x|| 2=P(11)
(K HK+λI)x=K Hb(12)
解得:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000010
其中,λ 0使得
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000011
满足式(11),I是单位矩阵,λ 0越大,
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000012
的范数就越小,通过二分查找可以找到最佳的λ 0
如果λ=0,那么:
K HKx=K Hb(14)
可知x是:
Kx=b(15)
的最小二乘解。
实际应用时为了简化计算,直接令λ为某一个固定的值,此处不做限定,例如λ=0.01,然后按照式(13)计算得到
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000013
至此,我们得到一个算法获得受控子载波上的调制符号取值,在满足受控子载波消耗功率的前提下使得UTMS的终端解扰解扩后看到的来自LTE的干扰功率尽可能小。根据上述方式确定该目标载波中的受控子载波的第二调制符号,并使用该目标载波发送下行信号,由于该第一调度子载波的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,由于使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信号并解扩解扰后,得不到或者得到极少的信息,使得此类干扰非常小,因此使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,从而实现无干扰或少干扰的通信。
二、LTE或NR的基带采样频率小于UMTS的基带采样频率。
在一些可行的实施例中,当LTE或NR的基带采样频率小于UMTS的基带采样频率时,可以对LTE或NR进行过采样,以使其采样频率等于UMTS的采样频率,然后上述“一、”的处理过程。在LTE或NR技术中,一种过采样的方法是进行点数更大的IFFT,例如,对于1.4MHz的LTE系统进行通常的128点的FFT和IFFT,而是像3MHz的LTE系统那样进行256点的快速傅里叶变换FFT和快速傅里叶逆变换IFFT,此处不再赘述。
三、LTE或NR的基带采样频率大于UMTS的基带采样频率。
在本申请实施例中,当LTE或NR的系统带宽为5MHz、10MHz、15MHz和20MHz时,LTE的基带信号采样频率大于UMTS的基带采样频率,这时LTE或NR的信号占用的带宽会大于UMTS的RRC滤波器的带宽,即UMTS的终端的RRC滤波器会影响LTE信号,则可以使用以下方式进行计算:
1、设值。
此处的设置方式与“一、”中的设值方式一致,此处不再赘述。
2、计算。
令G’为L’×L′(L’为第一基站所使用的IFFT点数,见表1)的归一化的离散傅里叶逆变换IDFT矩阵,其中L’>L),G的第m(1≤m≤L′)行第n(1≤n≤L′)列的元素为
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000014
其中,j是虚数单位。
然后,只保留G中列的索引(从1开始计数)为集合K 1的元素的那些列,删掉G的其余列,所得的L′×N 1的矩阵记为T;只保留G中列的索引(从1开始计数)为集合K 2的元素的那些列,删掉G的其余列,所得的L′×N 2的矩阵记为R,OFDM有用符号的采样构成的L’×1的列向量:
g=Ts+Rx(17)
因为L′>L,所以采样频率大于3.84MHz,第一基站发送LTE信号时,并没有像第二基站那样加RRC滤波器,而该下行信号经过第二通信制式的终端时会经过其终端的接收滤波器(为RRC滤波器),根据3GPP的协议TS25.104中的6.8.1小节规定了UMTS使用的RRC滤波器的单位冲激响应:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000015
其中,式中的T c≈0.26μs为UMTS的码片持续时间,滚降系数α=0.22。由于LTE信号的采样间隔为
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000016
因此,将RRC滤波器离散化后得到数字滤波器的单位脉冲响应
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000017
其中,h(n)仅在有限的长度内有显著非0的取值。
为了简化计算,可以将h(n)截短为长度2F+1,该下行信号经过第二通信制式的终端的接收滤波器就是信号采样与h(n)进行线性卷积。此处只考虑有用OFDM符号g与h(n)线性卷积,线性卷积后去掉开始的F个数值,从第F+1个数值开始往后的L’个数值组成L′×1的向量g′,用矩阵运算表示为:
g′=Hg=HTs+HRx(19)
其中,L′×L′的矩阵H由h(-F)、h(-F+1)、……、h(F)构成。
第二通信制式的终端会按照处理接收到的下行信号的方式处理收到的该下行信号,对g′进行降采样,降采样因子为L′/256,即取出每L′/256个数值中的第一个值,这里假设L′/256为整数,降采样后得到256×1的向量g″,其中,g″可用矩阵运算表示为:
g″=Λg′=ΛHTs+ΛHRx(20)
其中,Λ的元素为0或1,如果是由采样频率7.68MHz(L′=512)的序列降采样到采样频率为3.84MHz的序列(降采样因子为2),那么:
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000018
在矩阵中,每一行的1都比上一行向右移动两列,Λ乘以一个列向量就相当于将列向量的第1、3、5、7、……个元素取出来重新排成一个列向量,就是每两个元素中抽取第一个元素,则式(20)中的g″与式(1)中的g有类似的表达式,后续的计算方式可以参照上述的“一、”中的计算方法,此处不再赘述。
3、功率优化。
此处的设置方式与“一、”中的功率优化方式一致,此处不再赘述。
另外,需要说明的是,由于LTE的有用OFDM符号与UMTS的符号的在时间上并不总是对齐,事实上,在1ms内14个有用OFDM符号中只有1个有用OFDM符号与UMTS的符号的对齐。这将导致误差,完全精确的方法是统一优化1ms内14个OFDM符号的受控子载波的取值,但这导致复杂度变大,如果需要避开的码道个数比较多,那么本实施例提供的方法能够仍然按每个OFDM符号优化受控子载波的取值,复杂度上升并不明显。
如图5(为有用OFDM符号与UMTS使用的等效的OVSF码的示意图)所示,一个SF=N(N≥2)的OVSF码能够衍生出两个SF=2N(N≥2)的OVSF码,且这两个SF=2N的OVSF码都被使用,那么我们可以认为衍生这两个OVSF码的那个SF=N的OVSF码被使用。如图5中的UMTS使用了SF=256的OVSF码和若干SF=128的OVSF码,如果这些OVSF码在如图3所示的码树上的排列有规律,那么可以认为UMTS使用了若干SF=64(甚至SF更小,例如SF=32)的OVSF码,则没有将有用OFDM符号的起始时刻与UMTS的符号的起始时刻对齐,这样更有一般性。
该方法在UMTS使用的OVSF码在码树上排列有规律时,能够提高性能(也就是使UTMS的终端受到来自LTE或NR的干扰更小),并且不显著增加复杂度。
选取受控子载波使OFDM的时域信号在图5所示的时间段B、C、D上与OVSF码
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000019
……、
Figure PCTCN2017118820-appb-000020
正交,在时间段A和E上OFDM信号的取值没有与对应的OVSF码正交,这会对UMTS信号造成干扰。即使这样,该方法比上述描述的方法始终假设Δ=0能获得更好的性能(即对UMTS造成的干扰更小)。事实上,当等效的OVSF码的SF(该例中是64)足够小时,时间段A与E所占的比例就小,由此造成的干扰可接受。
结合以下例子进行说明,本例是UMTS与5MHz的LTE共享下行频谱,5MHz的LTE系统的基带采样率为7.68MHz大于UMTS的基带采样频率3.84MHz,该LTE系统的子载波与UMTS的终端的接收滤波器如图6所示(为3MHz系统带宽的LTE与5MHz的UMTS信号的功率谱密度的示意图)。图6中的“DC”表示直流子载波,协议规定不使用该子载波,图6中所标的UMTS的子载波是在LTE的保护带并且落进UMTS的终端的接收带宽内的子载波,在该例中,调度的子载波在DC附近,而受控子载波包括一部分不调度的子载波和保护带上的子载波。在本申请实施例中,调度的子载波传输发向LTE的终端的数据,而受控子载波根据上述方法取值。受控子载波的取值与调度的子载波的取值和要“避开”的UMTS的码道以及UTMS使用的扰码有关。
由于受控子载波的存在,LTE的波形被改变,改变的结果就是UMTS的终端在解扰解扩它需要的码道时看不到(仅理想情况下)LTE的信号。需要说明的是,受控子载波本来不该发送数据,应用本申请后发送了某些特定取值的数据,本实施例通过受控子载波使得LTE与UMTS信号近似正交,UMTS的终端在解扰解扩某一条径上的UMTS信号时,与该UMTS信号时延相同的(例如也在该条径上)LTE信号对该UMTS信号不造成干扰。
由于该第一调度子载波的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,由于使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信号并解扩解扰后,得不到或者得到极少的信息,使得此类干扰非常小,因此使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,从而实现无干扰或少干扰的通信。
204、该第一基站使用该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波发送该下行信号。
在本申请实施例中,当确定了受控子载波的第二调制符号后,可以使用该第一调度子 载波和该受控子载波发送下行信号,则使得使用第一通信制式的终端和使用第二通信制式的终端均可接收到下行信号。由于该第一调度子载波的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,由于使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信号并解扩解扰后,得不到或者得到极少的信息,使得此类干扰非常小,因此使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,从而实现无干扰或少干扰的通信。
在一些可行的实施例中,第一基站可以使用根升余弦滤波器作为发射滤波器,以便与第二基站(指UMTS)共用发射模块。
图7(为5MHz的LTE系统与UMTS的UE的接收滤波器的示意图)中比较了3MHz系统带宽的LTE与5MHz的UMTS信号的功率谱密度,LTE的PSD在0频率处有个下降尖峰是因为LTE在DC子载波上没有传数据。UMTS的接收滤波器和发射滤波器的幅频响应的模的平方与UMTS信号的PSD有相同的形状。从图7中可以看到,UMTS接收滤波器对3MHz系统带宽的LTE信号的影响较小,因为在滤波器幅频响应从水平开始下降的频点上LTE信号的PSD已经下降了大约30dB。
在一些可行的实施例中,当第一基站和第二基站为同一个基站而共站发射时,可以在带宽较小的LTE或带宽较小并且不采用发射滤波器的NR的发射端也加一个与UMTS一样的发射滤波器,允许小带宽的LTE(例如3MHz的系统带宽)或NR也加一个发射滤波器意味着LTE或NR基带信号可以与UMTS的基带信号先叠加然后经过同一个RRU发射出去,这能够降低成本。
需要说明的是,在一些可行的实施例中,如图8(为多个非第二通信制式与第二通信制式共享频谱的示意图),图8中非第二通信制式有可能指同一个通信制式,也可能指不同的通信制式,此处不做限定。在一些可行的实施例中,非第二通信制式所占的频率范围根据需要也可以比5MHz稍微大一些,图8右边的省略号表示中间还可以并排放置更多的非第二通信制式,每个非第二通信制式都有受控子载波,基站确定受控子载波时要综合考虑多种通信制式,此处不做限定。
以上对一种下行信号发送的方法进行了描述,以下对相关的基站进行描述,请参考图9,为一种基站900,包括:
获取模块901,用于获取第二基站的码道信息,该码道信息包括该第二基站使用的正交可变扩频因子OVSF码和该第二基站所使用的扰码,该第一基站为使用正交频分复用OFDM的第一通信制式的基站,该第二基站为使用扩频码或扰码的第二通信制式的基站。
确定模块902,用于确定第一调度子载波的第一调制符号。
计算模块903,用于根据该码道信息和该第一调制符号计算受控子载波的第二调制符号,以使得该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与该OVSF码正交,该受控子载波与该第一调度子载波是不同的子载波。
发送模块904,用于使用该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波发送该下行信号。
由于第一调度子载波所承载的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与该OVSF码正交,因此当使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信 号并解扩解扰后,使用第二通信制式的终端将会得不到该下行信号所承载的信息,使得不造成干扰,使得使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,而不会造成对使用第二通信制式的终端的干扰。
在一些可行的实施例中,该计算模块902,还用于确保该第一下行信号的功率小于或等于预设功率。
在一些可行的实施例中,若该第一通信制式的基带采样频率小于该第二通信制式的基带采样频率,该基站900还包括:
采样模块905,用于根据该第二通信制式的基带采样频率对OFDM的有用符号进行过采样,使得该第一通信制式的基带采样频率与该第二通信制式的基带采样频率相等。
在一些可行的实施例中,该获取模块901,还用于获取使用该第一通信制式的第三基站在该目标载波中的第二调度子载波的第三调制符号。
该计算模块903,还用于根据该第三调制符号、该第一调制符号和该码道信息计算该第二调制符号,以使得该第三调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的第二下行信号与该OVSF码正交,该受控子载波与该第二调度子载波是不同的子载波。
上面从模块化功能实体的角度对本申请实施例进行描述,下面从硬件处理的角度对本申请实施例进行描述,请参阅图10,本申请实施例提供了一种基站1000:
收发器1001、处理器1002和存储器1003。
该收发器1001,用于获取第二基站的码道信息,该码道信息包括该第二基站使用的正交可变扩频因子OVSF码和该第二基站所使用的扰码,该第一基站为使用正交频分复用OFDM的第一通信制式的基站,该第二基站为使用扩频码或扰码的第二通信制式的基站。
该处理器1002,用于确定第一调度子载波的第一调制符号,根据该码道信息和该第一调制符号确定受控子载波的第二调制符号,以使得该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与该OVSF码正交,该受控子载波与该第一调度子载波是不同的子载波
该收发器1001,还用于使用该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波发送该下行信号。
该存储器1003,用于存储程序、该码道信息、该第一调度子载波的第一调制符号和该受控子载波的第二调制符号。
由于第一调度子载波所承载的下行信号内的信息是发送给使用该第一通信制式的终端的,对于使用第二通信制式的终端来说是干扰信号,该第一调度子载波和该受控子载波所共同承载的下行信号与该OVSF码正交,因此当使用第二通信制式的终端接收到该下行信号并解扩解扰后,使用第二通信制式的终端将会得不到该下行信号所承载的信息,使得不造成干扰,使得使用该第一通信制式和该第二通信制式的不同基站和不同终端可以共享同一个带宽资源,而不会造成对使用第二通信制式的终端的干扰。
