Description

上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法及系统 技术领域
本公开涉及无线通信技术领域，尤其涉及上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法及系统。
背景技术
大规模MIMO系统中采用的波束赋形技术是一种基于天线信号预处理手段，为了获得更好的阵列增益，可以通过调整天线阵列中每个阵元的幅度、相位和权重，使波束在特定方向上进行相干叠加，实现信号的全向传输到定向传输的转变，可以有效抑制干扰。为了获得较优的性能增益，需要对天线阵列中每个阵元进行独立控制，但是这种方式对基带处理的要求较高，现有商业应用条件下无法满足全数字架构对每个阵元独立控制，为了解决这一问题，人们提出了数模混合的天线架构。
在数模混合的天线架构下，存在多种天线设计方案，以上下行非对称的天线设计方案为例，参考说明书附图3-4，示出了一种天线设计方案，水平8天线阵元，垂直12天线阵元，极化2天线阵元，共192天线阵元。说明书附图3示出了下行发送端的形态，下行使用64基带通道，1通道驱3阵元；说明书附图4示出了上行接收端的形态，上行使用16基带通道，1通道驱12阵元。下行发送端需要发送波束进行波束扫描，上行接收端需要对用户进行信道估计，根据用户的信道信息确定用户的位置，从而确定下行发送波束的方向，参考说明书附图2，示出了现有技术中一种上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的波束管理方法的流程示意图。
在这种上下行非对称天线设计方案下，下行发送端进行波束扫描时需要天线内部进行模拟预加权，即通过移相器对天线阵元加权。由于移相器一个档位对应一个波束方向，使移相器档位切换上有一定限制，只能在某几个档位按照固定的时间间隔进行切换。这种情形下的波束管理方案为：下行波束扫描时，切换移相器档位，在固定的方向上进行波束扫描；上行进行信道估计时，切换所有移相器档位，分别进行信道估计。这种方案存在的问题有：
1、波束扫描时，移相器相位切换需要遍历所有档位，所需要的切换总 时间长，无法精准快速地切换到用户；
2、非对称MIMO系统由于上下行天线通道数不一致，会导致上下行通道具有非互易性，当前技术中缺少非互易性信道的波束管理方法。

具体实施方式
为使本公开实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本公开实施例中的附图，对本公开实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述，显然，所描述的实施例是本公开一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于本公开中的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
实施例1：
在本实施例中，参考说明书附图1，提供了一种上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法，包括以下步骤：
步骤1：在数模混合天线架构中，将下行发送端分成n个射频通道分别进行波束赋形，使一个扇区劈裂为n个小区；
步骤2：当用户终端接入时，n个小区基站均接收用户终端发出的SRS信号，根据各小区基站接收到的SRS信号的能量强度，确定用户终端所在的小区；
步骤3：在用户终端所在的小区内，下行发送端进行波束扫描，用户终端确定下行发送端发送的最佳波束方向并接收。
在传统基站中，往往采用三扇区的结构，每个扇区的水平面示意图参考说明书附图5，对同一扇区的不同角度来说，用户终端接收到的能量会存在差异，同时在同一个扇区内会存在干扰。在步骤1中，将一个扇区劈裂为n个小区后，其水平面示意图参考说明书附图6所示。由此，在大规模 的数模混合天线架构中，通过将下行发送端分成n个射频通道分别进行波束赋形，使波束赋形能够生成较窄的波束。
在步骤2中，各小区基站根据接收到的SRS信号的能量强度确定用户终端所在的小区。
在步骤3中，劈裂后各小区内的基站的下行发送端通过顺序的扫描不同的角度来覆盖整个小区，从而定向的传输SSB波束(信号同步模块波束)进行波束扫描。在可选的实施例中，可以利用SSB波束来识别用户终端发出的波束的初始传输方向并进行波束跟踪。在可选的实施例中，每个小区对应的SSB波束为单波束。由此，简化了CSI-RS测量，降低测量时间。
在可选的实施例中，各小区内的基站使用比全数字波束赋形得到的波束更宽的波束发送SSB波束，由此，可以减少SSB传输的影响并保证及时的网络接入操作。
在可选的实施例中，当多个用户终端接入同一个小区时，该小区基站根据接收到的SRS信号的能量强度，由大到小依次满足用户终端的需求。具体的，例如该小区基站接收到用户1、用户2和用户3的信号能量分别为Re1、Re2和Re3，并且Re1>Re2>Re3，因此基站优先满足用户1的业务需求。
在可选的实施例中，用户终端使用不同宽度的物理随机信道(PARCH)接入，物理随机信道采用单波束，由此，简化了SRS信号(上行探测参考信号)。
本公开提供的上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法，通过对基站的每个扇区空间进行切割，增加小区数量，使下行波束扫描时无需遍历所有档位，减少波束扫描的时间；有效的进行用户配对和资源分配，不强依赖SRS信道估计准确性，在有限的信道信息输入下，提升了系统容量和系统性能，降低时延；实现方法简单，提高了波束管理的效率。
实施例2：

在可选的实施例中，当多个用户终端接入同一个小区时，根据接收到的SRS信号的能量强度，由大到小依次满足用户终端的需求。
在可选的实施例中，在用户终端所在的小区内，下行发送端使用单波束进行波束扫描。
本公开提供的上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理系统，通过对基站的每个扇区空间进行切割，增加小区数量，使下行波束扫描时无需遍历所有档位，减少波束扫描的时间；有效的进行用户配对和资源分配，不强依赖SRS信道估计准确性，在有限的信道信息输入下，提升了系统容量和系统性能，降低时延；实现方法简单，提高了波束管理的效率。

存储器32作为一种非易失性计算机可读存储介质，可用于存储非易失性软件程序、非易失性计算机可执行程序以及模块，如本申请实施例中的上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法对应的程序指令/模块。处理器31通过运行存储在存储器32中的非易失性软件程序、指令以及模块，从而执行服务器的各种功能应用以及数据处理，即实现上述方法实施例的上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法。
存储器32可以包括存储程序区和存储数据区，其中，存储程序区可存储操作系统、至少一个功能所需要的应用程序；存储数据区可存储根据上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理系统的使用所创建的数据等。此外，存储器32可以包括高速随机存取存储器，还可以包括非易失性存储 器，例如至少一个磁盘存储器件、闪存器件、或其他非易失性固态存储器件。在一些实施例中，存储器32可选包括相对于处理器31远程设置的存储器，这些远程存储器可以通过网络连接至上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理系统。上述网络的实例包括但不限于互联网、企业内部网、局域网、移动通信网及其组合。
一个或者多个模块存储在存储器32中，当被一个或者多个处理器31执行时，执行上述任意方法实施例中的上下行非对称通信MIMO系统的劈裂波束管理方法。
上述产品可执行本申请实施例所提供的方法，具备执行方法相应的功能模块和有益效果。未在本实施例中详尽描述的技术细节，可参见本申请实施例所提供的方法。
实施例4：
另一方面，本发明实施例4提供一种计算机可读存储介质，存储介质中存储有一个或多个包括执行指令的程序，执行指令能够被设备(包括但不限于计算机，服务器，或者网络设备等)读取并执行，以用于执行上述方法实施例中的相关步骤。
上述本说明书实施例先后顺序仅仅为了描述，不代表实施例的优劣。且上述对说明书特定实施例进行了描述。其它实施例在所附权利要求书的范围内。在一些情况下，在权利要求书中记载的动作或步骤可以按照不同于实施例中的顺序来执行并且仍然可以实现期望的结果。另外，在附图中描绘的过程不一定要求示出的特定顺序或者连续顺序才能实现期望的结果。在某些实施方式中，多任务处理和并行处理也是可以的或者可能是有利的。
本说明书中的各个实施例均采用递进的方式描述，各个实施例之间相同相似的部分互相参见即可，每个实施例重点说明的都是与其他实施例的不同之处。尤其，对于系统实施例而言，由于其基本相似于方法实施例，所以描述的比较简单，相关之处参见方法实施例的部分说明即可。
本领域普通技术人员可以理解实现上述实施例的全部或部分步骤可以 通过硬件来完成，也可以通过程序来指令相关的硬件完成，程序可以存储于一种计算机可读存储介质中，上述提到的存储介质可以是只读存储器，磁盘或光盘等。
以上仅为本公开的较佳实施例，并不用以限制本公开，凡在本公开的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本公开的保护范围之内。
