本申请涉及无线技术领域,尤其涉及一种通信方法及设备。
在无线通信系统中,发送端所发送的用于承载数据的信号需要经过调制处理,相应的接收端所接收的信号为经过调制处理后的信号。相应的,接收端在接收信号之后,通常需要对所接收的信号进行解调,以得到该信号所携带的数据。
然而,对于接收端而言,如何实现信号解调过程并提升解调性能,是一个亟待解决的技术问题。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种通信方法及通信装置,用于实现接收端的信号解调过程的同时,提升接收端的解调性能。
本申请第一方面提供了一种通信方法,该方法由接收端执行,或者,该方法由接收端中的部分组件(例如处理器、芯片或芯片系统等)执行,或者该方法还可以由能实现全部或部分接收端功能的逻辑模块或软件实现。在第一方面及其可能的实现方式中,以该通信方法由接收端执行为例进行描述。在该方法中,接收端接收第一数据;该接收端接收第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号,该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号用于解调该第一数据;该接收端基于该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号解调该第一数据。
基于上述技术方案,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号用于解调该第一数据,使得该接收端在接收第一数据之后,该接收端基于该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号解调该第一数据。换言之,接收端在对第一数据进行解调的过程中,该接收端通过接收第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号以获取解调信息,并基于该解调信息对所接收的第一数据进行解调,以实现接收端的信号解调过程。
此外,相比于接收端仅基于一个解调参考信号执行信号解调过程的实现方式,在上述技术方案中,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号能够承载更多的解调信息,使得该接收端能够基于更多的解调信息对所接收的数据进行解调,以提升解调性能。
需要说明的是,本申请涉及的接收端可以为网络设备或终端设备。
可选地,本申请中,解调信息可以表述为解调矩阵,检测矩阵,解调矩阵信息等。

应理解,第一数据包括实部和虚部,第一数据的共轭也包括实部和虚部。其中,第一数据的实部与第一数据的共轭的实部相同,且第一数据的虚部与第一数据的共轭的虚部互为相反数。
此外,本申请中,第一信号为基于第一数据的宽线性变换得到,也可以表述为第一信号为基于第一数据的线性变换以及第一数据的共轭的线性变换得到。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,该第一信号满足:

在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,该第一数据的层数为m,m为大于或等于1的自然数;其中,该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号的端口数为m。
基于上述技术方案,第一数据的层数,该第一解调参考信号的端口数和该第二解调参考信号的端口数均为m。即第一数据的层数,第一解调参考信号的端口数和第二解调参考信号的端口数均相同,便于接收端基于同一端口数的解调参考信号对同一层数的数据进行解调,以提升数据解调的成功率。
本申请中,第一数据的层数也可以称为第一数据的流数。
可选地,该第一解调参考信号的端口数小于m,和/或,该第二解调参考信号的端口数小于m。比如第一数据层数为2,第一解调参考信号端口数为1,在这种情况下,即假设1端口的解调参考信号对应于携带了2层的第一数据,对发送端预编码矩阵隐含进行了约束,比如对两层数据采用相同的预编码,该实现方式能够降低参考信号的开销。
在第一方面的一种可能的实现方式中,该第一数据满足非正则高斯信令特征,和/或,该第一信号满足非正则高斯信令特征。

基于上述技术方案,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号分别通过不同预编码矩阵进行预编码得到,使得该接收端基于该不同的预编码矩阵确定所关联的解调信息。
此外,在MU-MIMO系统中,接收端无需解调其它用户(或者其它接收端对应的用户)的解调参考信号的情况下,该接收端基于所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号即可实现对所接收的第一数据的解调,能够降低该接收端的检测复杂度。

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。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
首先,对本申请实施例中的部分用语进行解释说明,以便于本领域技术人员理解。
(1)终端设备:可以是能够接收网络设备调度和指示信息的无线终端设备,无线终端设备可以是指向用户提供语音和/或数据连通性的设备,或具有无线连接功能的手持式设备、或连接到无线调制解调器的其他处理设备。

(2)网络设备:可以是无线网络中的设备,例如网络设备可以为将终端设备接入到无线网络的无线接入网(radio access network,RAN)节点(或设备),又可以称为基站。目前,一些RAN设备的举例为:5G通信系统中的新一代基站(generation Node B,gNodeB)、传输接收点(transmission reception point,TRP)、演进型节点B(evolved Node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、基站控制器(base station controller,BSC)、基站收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭基站(例如,home evolved Node B,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(base band unit,BBU),或无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)接入点(access point,AP)等。另外,在一种网络结构中,网络设备可以包括集中单元(centralized unit,CU)节点、或分布单元(distributed unit,DU)节点、或包括CU节点和DU节点的RAN设备。
其中,网络设备能够向终端设备发送配置信息(例如承载于调度消息和/或指示消息中),终端设备进一步根据该配置信息进行网络配置,使得网络设备与终端设备之间的网络配置对齐;或者,通过预设于网络设备的网络配置以及预设于终端设备的网络配置,使得网络设备与终端设备之间的网络配置对齐。具体来说,“对齐”是指网络设备与终端设
备之间存在交互消息时,两者对于交互消息收发的载波频率、交互消息类型的确定、交互消息中所承载的字段信息的含义、或者是交互消息的其它配置的理解一致。
此外,在其它可能的情况下,网络设备可以是其它为终端设备提供无线通信功能的装置。本申请的实施例对网络设备所采用的具体技术和具体设备形态不做限定。为方便描述,本申请实施例并不限定。

(3)配置与预配置:在本申请中,会同时用到配置与预配置。配置是指基站或服务器等网络设备通过消息或信令将一些参数的配置信息或参数的取值发送给终端,以便终端根据这些取值或信息来确定通信的参数或传输时的资源。预配置与配置类似,它可以是基站或服务器等网络设备通过通信链路或载波把参数信息或取值发送给终端的方式;也可以是将相应的参数或参数值定义(例如,在标准中明确规定参数的取值)出来,或通过提前将相关的参数或取值写到终端设备中的方式,本申请对此不做限定。进一步地,这些取值和参数,是可以变化或更新的。
(4)预编码技术:发送端可以在已知信道状态的情况下,借助与信道相匹配的预编码矩阵来对待发送信号进行处理后发送,使得经过预编码的发送信号与信道相适配。从而,相比于接收端接收未经过预编码的发送信号并消除信道间影响的处理过程,接收端接收经过预编码的发送信号并消除信道间影响的处理过程的复杂度降低。因此,通过对待发送信号的预编码处理,接收信号质量(例如信号与干扰加噪声比(signal to interference plus noise ratio,SINR)等)得以提升。采用预编码技术,还可以实现发送端与多个接收端在相同的时频资源上传输,也就是实现了多用户多输入多输出(multiple user multiple input multiple output,MU-MIMO)。

口可以称为一个参考信号的端口,例如,解调参考信号(demodulation deference signal,DMRS)、探测参考信号(sounding reference signal,SRS)端口等。
(6)在本申请中,“用于指示”可以包括用于直接指示和用于间接指示。当描述某一指示信息用于指示A时,可以理解为该指示信息携带A、直接指示A或间接指示A。
本申请中,指示信息所指示的信息,称为待指示信息。在具体实现过程中,对待指示信息进行指示的方式有很多种,例如但不限于,可以直接指示待指示信息,如待指示信息本身或者该待指示信息的索引等。也可以通过指示其他信息来间接指示待指示信息,其中该其他信息与待指示信息之间存在关联关系。还可以仅仅指示待指示信息的一部分,而待指示信息的其他部分则是已知的或者提前约定的。例如,还可以借助预先约定(例如协议规定)的各个信息的排列顺序来实现对特定信息的指示,从而在一定程度上降低指示开销。
待指示信息可以作为一个整体一起发送,也可以分成多个子信息分开发送,而且这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以相同,也可以不同。具体发送方法本申请不进行限定。其中,这些子信息的发送周期和/或发送时机可以是预先定义的,例如根据协议预先定义的,也可以是发射端设备通过向接收端设备发送配置信息来配置的。其中,该配置信息可以例如但不限于包括无线资源控制信令、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)层信令和物理层信令中的一种或者至少两种的组合。其中,无线资源控制信令例如包无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC)信令;MAC层信令例如包括MAC控制元素(control element,CE);物理层信令例如包括下行控制信息(downlink control information,DCI)。

本申请可以应用于长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)系统、新无线(new radio,NR)系统,或者是其它的通信系统,其中,该通信系统中包括网络设备和终端设备,网络设备作为配置信息发送实体,终端设备作为配置信息接收实体。具体来说,该通信系统中存在实体向另一实体发送配置信息,并向另一实体发送数据、或接收另一实体发送的数据;另一个实体接收配置信息,并根据配置信息向配置信息发送实体发送数据、或接收配置信息发送实体发送的数据。其中,本申请可应用于处于连接状态或激活状态(ACTIVE)的终端设备、也可以应用于处于非连接状态(INACTIVE)或空闲态(IDLE)的终端设备。
请参阅图1,为本申请中通信系统的一种示意图。图1中,示例性的示出了一个网络设备和6个终端设备,6个终端设备分别为终端设备1、终端设备2、终端设备3、终端设备4、终端设备5以及终端设备6等。在图1所示的示例中,是以终端设备1为智能茶杯,终端设备2为智能空调,终端设备3为智能加油机,终端设备4为交通工具,终端设备5为手机,终端设
备6为打印机进行举例说明的。其中,发射端可以为网络设备也可以为终端设备,接收端可以为网络设备也可以为终端设备。
如图1所示,在通信过程中,发送端(或称为发射端、发射端设备)可以是网络设备,接收端(或称为接收端、接收端设备)可以是终端设备(例如图1中的终端设备1-终端设备6);或者,发送端可以是终端设备,接收端可以是网络设备;或者,发送端和接收端都可以是网络设备;或者,发送端和接收端都可以是终端设备。
图1所示通信系统的无线通信过程中,发送端所发送的用于承载数据的信号需要经过调制处理,相应的接收端所接收的信号为经过调制处理后的信号。相应的,接收端在接收信号之后,通常需要对所接收的信号进行解调,以得到该信号所携带的数据。
然而,对于接收端而言,如何实现信号解调过程并提升解调性能,是一个亟待解决的技术问题。
下面将以多输入多输出(multiple input multiple output,MIMO)系统中的信号解调过程的一种可能的实现为例。
在一种可能的实现过程中,在MIMO系统中的发送端和接收端均配置多根天线,能显著的提升频谱效率,该技术在4G移动通信系统中得到广泛使用。此外,大规模多输出多输出(massive multiple input multiple output,mMIMO)技术通过进一步显著提升天线数,尤其是发射端的天线数,通常在中频段以至少64条收发通道(64Transmit and 64Receive,64TRX)的形式出现,所支持的天线数量也更多(如可多达192个)。在5G业务中,mMIMO商用已取得巨大成功。
以网络设备为基站为例,一般认为基站的天线尺寸较大,而终端设备的天线尺寸通常受限,在无线信号衰减低的中低频段终端天线数目往往较少,主流配置为2天线或者4天线。对于单用户MIMO,受限于终端设备的天线数目,网络设备配置大规模天线数目相比配置普通天线数目频谱效率增益不大。对于多用户MIMO,基站由于配置大规模天线,可通过空间多天线处理对抗多用户干扰,从而支持大量用户同时传输。因此mMIMO技术是一种有效的提升多用户容量的技术。
此外,网络设备可采用多用户线性预编码技术对抗多用户干扰,比如以下行多用户MIMO为例,网络设备采用迫零波束赋形(zero forcing beamforming,ZFBF)的方式进行通信,其中,ZFBF也称为迫零预编码。即网络设备在与多个终端设备(或称多个用户)的通信过程中,通过对预编码矩阵的选取(并向目标用户指示所选取的预编码矩阵),使得多个终端设备中的其它终端设备对目标终端设备(或称目标用户)的干扰为零,从而有效对抗多用户干扰。
在上述基于ZFBF所实现的信号解调过程中,以网络设备为发送端且终端设备为接收端为例。网络设备可以通过向目标终端设备发送解调信息,即可使得该目标终端设备基于该解调信息对所接收的数据进行解调。并且,由于基于ZFBF的实现过程能够将其他终端设备对该目标终端设备的干扰置零,这就使得网络设备向目标终端设备发送的解调信息无需关联于其它终端设备的预编码矩阵,而仅需要对该目标终端设备的预编码信息的指示即可使得目标终端设备能够正确解调数据。换言之,发送端向接收端发送较少的信息即可实现信
号解调过程,该较少的信息一般承载于一个解调参考信号,即可使得接收端仅基于一个解调参考信号执行信号解调过程。
然而,由于迫零波束赋形目标是干扰置零而不是匹配用户自身信道信息,损失了信道容量。为此,如何有效提升多用户容量尤其是下行多用户容量,是一个值得研究的技术问题。
在一种可能的实现过程中,为了实现信号容量的提升,发送端和接收端可以基于宽线性预编码的方式进行通信。
其中,宽线性预编码可以实现正则高斯信令向非正则高斯信令的变换,使得发送信号不再要求I路信号和Q路信号独立同分布,从而引入更多的信号自由度可以取得对抗多用户干扰和匹配空间信道的优化设计。
以发送端为下行MU-MIMO中的基站且接收端为多个用户为例,基站可以向多个用户同时发送调制信号,比如正交幅度调制(quadrature amplitude modulation,QAM)信号。示例性的,以多个用户的数量为k为例,k的取值为大于或等于2。基站确定串并转换(S/P)处理多获得的k个用户的数据。对于多个用户中的用户k而言,基站可发送一个或多个数据流,每个数据流均为QAM信号。
示例性的,该k个用户的数据包括用户1的数据(User 1's data)记为b1,用户2的数据(User 2's data)记为b2...用户k的数据(User k's data)记为bk。以用户k的数据bk可以表示为的mk表示数据bk的层数(或流数)。
然后,基站对每个用户的数据进行宽线性预编码(Widely Linear Precoding,WLP),即对每个用户的数据和以及该数据的共轭进行线性处理。此处仍以用户k的数据bk为例,WLP涉及的预编码矩阵包括T1,k和T2,k,且经过WLP处理后的信号满足:
其中,xk表示经过WLP处理后的信号,为bk的共轭。
可选地,xk的矩阵维度为M*1。
其中,基站的天线数为M(M大于或等于1),M为1的情况下代表单天线或单通道传输。
可以理解的是,基站所发送的数据的流数mk小于或等于基站的天线数M。
经过上述处理过程之后,基站将多个用户宽线性预编码的数据混叠后,在多天线上进行发送。此处以仍以用户k的数据bk对应的xk为例,xk可以在基站的M个天线端口上进行发送。
此后,通过无线信道的传输(该无线信道可以记为信道矩阵(channel matrix)Hk)后,用户在多根天线上收到的多个用户经过信道后的信号。并且,用户进行宽线性估计(widely linear estimation,WLE)的方式执行多用户检测,即对用户收到的信号以及信号的共轭进行线性处理,从而恢复出该用户的数据流。此处仍以用户k的数据bk对应的xk为例,xk在Hk传输之后,用户k在相应的天线端口(例如第k个用户的天线“1,...Nk”,Nk大于或等于2)上接收的数据为yk。此后,用户k基于yk基于WLE过程确定数据bk的估计,记为
在上述宽线性预编码系统下,因为引入了宽线性预编码,用户通过额外的自由度可以取得对抗干扰和匹配空间信道信息的优化效果,提升了用户容量。
然而,在上述实现过程中,接收端需要对干扰进行相应的处理,即接收端需要通过WLE过程中使用的解调信息R1,k和R2,k对干扰进行处理(比如第k个接收端在WLE过程采用
的方式确定该第k个接收端的第一数据的估计,如后文式(16)的方式实现)。而在上述接收端仅基于一个解调参考信号执行信号解调过程的实现方式中,由于接收端进获取自身的预编码信息对应的解调信息,使得该接收端无法对干扰进行消除处理。换言之,上述通过一个解调参考信号的信号解调过程无法使得用户获取干扰信息,导致接收端的解调性能较差,很有可能导致接收端解调失败。
为此,如何提升接收端的解调性能,是一个亟待解决的技术问题。
请参阅图2,为本申请提供的通信方法的一个示意图,该方法包括如下步骤。
S201.发送端发送第一数据。
本实施例中,发送端在步骤S201中发送第一数据,相应的,接收端在步骤S201中接收该第一数据。
需要说明的是,本申请涉及的发送端可以为网络设备或终端设备,接收端也可以为网络设备或终端设备。
在一种可能的实现方式中,接收端在步骤S201中接收的第一数据承载于第一信号,该第一信号基于该第一数据以及该第一数据的共轭获得。换言之,第一信号为基于第一数据的宽线性变换得到,使得接收端所接收的第一信号支持宽线性预编码的场景。
应理解,第一数据包括实部和虚部,第一数据的共轭也包括实部和虚部。其中,第一数据的实部与第一数据的共轭的实部相同,且第一数据的虚部与第一数据的共轭的虚部互为相反数。
此外,本申请中,第一信号为基于第一数据的宽线性变换得到,也可以表述为第一信号为基于第一数据的线性变换以及第一数据的共轭的线性变换得到。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一信号满足:
x=T1b+T2b*;
x=T1b+T2b*;
其中,x表示该第一信号,b表示该第一数据,b*表示该第一数据的共轭,T1表示该第一数据的预编码矩阵,T2表示该第一数据的共轭的预编码矩阵。
示例性的,本实施例中可以应用于MU-MIMO系统,该MU-MIMO系统的一种实现示例如图3所示。在图3中,以发送端的天线端口数(或称发送通道数)为M,接收端的数量为k且第k个接收端的第一数据的流数为mk为例,M和mk均为大于或等于1的整数,且mk小于或等于M。其中,发送端在步骤S201中所发送的用于承载第一数据的第一信号满足:
其中,xk表示第k个接收端的第一信号,bk表示第k个接收端的第一数据,表示第k个接收端的第一数据的共轭,T1,k表示第k个接收端的第一数据的预编码矩阵,T2,k表示第k个接收端的第一数据的共轭的预编码矩阵。
类似地,对于k个接收端中的其他接收端的数据处理过程,发送端也可以基于类似于式(1)的过程实现。
在一种可能的实现方式中,接收端在步骤S201中接收的第一数据满足非正则高斯信令特征,和/或,用于承载该第一数据的第一信号满足非正则高斯信令特征。具体地,接收端所接收的信号(包括第一数据和/或第一信号)满足非正则高斯信令特征,即接收端所接收的信号不再要求I路信号和Q路信号(即同相位(In-phase)信号和正交(quadrature)信号)独立同分布(即表示接收端在检测信号的过程中,所检测的I路信号和Q路信号这两个
变量互相独立且服从相同的统计分布),或者,接收端所接收的信号的伪协方差矩阵不为零。从而,引入更多的信号自由度可以取得对抗多用户干扰和匹配空间信道的优化设计,使得上述技术方案能够应用于多用户多输入多输出(multi user multiple input and multiple output,MU-MIMO)系统。
示例性的,以式(1)的实现为例,xk的伪协方差可表示为:
其中,E(.)表示求期望,表示xk的转置,xk表示第k个接收端的第一数据,xk,1、xk,2...xk,M分别表示第k个接收端的第一数据在M个天线端口上映射的数据。
举例来说,如果xk是非正则高斯信令,比如是4层BPSK调制信号,I、Q路不满足同分布,且满足如果xk是正则高斯信令,比如是4层QPSK调制信号,I、Q路满足同分布,且满足
S202.发送端发送第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号。
本实施例中,发送端在步骤S202中发送第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号,相应的,接收端在步骤S202中接收该第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号。
在一种可能的实现方式中,接收端在步骤S201中接收的第一数据的层数为m,m为大于或等于1的自然数;其中,接收端在步骤S202中接收的第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号的端口数为m。具体地,第一数据的层数,该第一解调参考信号的端口数和该第二解调参考信号的端口数均为m。即第一数据的层数,第一解调参考信号的端口数和第二解调参考信号的端口数均相同,便于接收端基于同一端口数的解调参考信号对同一层数的数据进行解调,以提升数据解调的成功率。
本申请中,第一数据的层数也可以称为第一数据的流数。
可选地,该第一解调参考信号的端口数小于m,和/或,该第二解调参考信号的端口数小于m。
S203.接收端基于第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号解调第一数据。
本实施例中,接收端在步骤S202中接收第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号之后,该接收端在步骤S203中基于该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号解调该第一数据。
在一种可能的实现方式中,接收端在步骤S202中接收的第一解调参考信号承载第一解调信息,接收端在步骤S202中接收的第二解调参考信号承载第二解调信息,且该第一解调信息和该第二解调信息用于获取该第一数据的估计。具体地,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号分别用于承载不同的解调信息,使得该接收端能够基于该不同的解调信息对第一数据进行解调,以获取该第一数据的估计。
可选地,本申请中,解调信息(例如第一解调信息或第二解调信息)可以表述为解调矩阵,检测矩阵,解调矩阵信息等。
应理解,第一数据的估计指的是发送端发送的第一数据经过信道传输之后,被接收设备接收并在本地进行恢复的数据。换言之,接收端将该第一数据的估计确定为发送端所发送的第一数据,以期得到第一数据所承载的信息。此外,由于无线通信系统中不可避免的信号干扰以及信号衰减等因素,有可能导致接收端所获得的第一数据的估计与发送端所发送的第一数据并不完全等同。
在一种可能的实现方式中,接收端在步骤S202中接收的第一解调参考信号为基于第一预编码矩阵进行预编码得到,该第一预编码矩阵关联于该第一解调信息;接收端在步骤S202中接收的第二解调参考信号为基于第二预编码矩阵进行预编码得到,该第二预编码矩阵关联于该第二解调信息。具体地,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号分别通过不同预编码矩阵进行预编码得到,使得该接收端基于该不同的预编码矩阵确定所关联的解调信息。
此外,在MU-MIMO系统中,接收端无需解调其它用户(或者其它接收端对应的用户)的解调参考信号的情况下,该接收端基于所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号即可实现对所接收的第一数据的解调,能够降低该接收端的检测复杂度。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一预编码矩阵关联于该第一解调信息包括:
其中,F1表示该第一预编码矩阵,该H+为H的逆矩阵或广义逆矩阵,该H表示发送端与接收端之间信道的信道信息,为R1的共轭转置,该R1表示该第一解调信息;
该第二预编码矩阵关联于该第二解调信息包括:
其中,F2表示该第二预编码矩阵,为R2的共轭转置,所述R2表示该第二解调信息。
在一种可能的实现方式中,该第一预编码矩阵不等同于该第一数据的预编码矩阵,和/或,该第二预编码矩阵不等同于该第一数据的共轭的预编码矩阵。具体地,在MU-MIMO系统中,接收端进行多用户检测所需要的第一解调信息和第二解调信息既与该接收端的数据(例如第一数据)的预编码矩阵相关,也与该接收端之外的其他接收端(或者其它接收端对应的用户)的数据的预编码矩阵相关。使得用于对第一解调信息进行预编码处理的第一预编码矩阵不等同于对第一数据进行预编码处理的预编码矩阵,和/或,用于对第二解调信息进行预编码处理的第二预编码矩阵不等同于对第一数据的共轭进行预编码处理的预编码矩阵,以使得该方案能够应用于MU-MIMO系统中的数据传输过程。
基于上述技术方案,接收端在步骤S202中接收的第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号用于解调该接收端在步骤S201中接收的第一数据,使得该接收端在步骤S201中接收第一数据之后,该接收端在步骤S202中基于该第一解调参考信号和该第二解调参考信号解调该第一数据。换言之,接收端在对第一数据进行解调的过程中,该接收端通过接收第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号以获取解调信息,并基于该解调信息对所接收的第一数据进行解调,以实现接收端的信号解调过程。
此外,相比于接收端仅基于一个解调参考信号执行信号解调过程的实现方式,在上述技术方案中,接收端所接收的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号能够承载更多的解调信息,使得该接收端能够基于更多的解调信息对所接收的数据进行解调,以提升解调性能。
示例性的,此处仍以上述图3所涉及的场景为例,发送端在步骤S202中向第k个接收端所发送的第一解调参考信号和第二解调参考信号可以通过图4所示实现,即第一解调参考信号记为图4中的解调参考信号第二解调参考信号记为图4中的解调参考信号其它信号的实现可以参考前述图3的描述,此处不做赘述。在图4中,以第k个接收端的第一数据bk的流数,第一解调参考信号的端口数和的端口数均相等,且取值均为mk为例。
在图4所示实现示例中,发送端所发送的数据经过M个天线端口发送之后,经过无线信道(该发送端与第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息记为Hk)的传输之后,第k个接收端(图示中以第k个接收端的天线包括天线1,天线2...天线Nk为例)接收的信号yk可表示为:
其中,表示xi的共轭,Hk为Nk*M的矩阵代表发送端到第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息,x表示k个接收端的数据叠加后的数据(即i大于或等于1,且i小于或等于k),T1,i和T2,i分别表示第i(i为整数且i的取值为1至k)个接收端的数据的预编码矩阵和第i个接收端的数据的共轭的预编码矩阵,nk为Nk*1的矩阵且nk表示复高斯噪声,即nk的均值为0,方差为表示高斯噪声方差。
在步骤S203中,第k个接收端通过宽线性估计(即对接收信号yk及yk的共轭进行线性变换),可以得到bk的估计满足:
其中,R1,k表示第一解调信息,R2,k表示第二解调信息,且R1,k和R2,k均为mk*Nk的矩阵,yk表示第k个接收端的接收信号,表示第k个接收端的接收信号的共轭。
下面将通过一些实现示例对上述图3中发送端和接收端的实现过程进行示例性描述。
在图3所示通信方法中,发送端可以通过下述式(5)至(13)的过程实现R1,k和R2,k的确定过程。
具体地,在T1,i、T2,i已知的前提下,R1,k和R2,k可通过最小均方误差算法求取。其中,第k个接收端的均方误差矩阵Ek可表示为
其中,E{}表示求期望,()H表示共轭转置,bk表示第k个接收端的第一数据,表示第k个接收端所获得的第一数据的估计。
通过最小均方误差算法,可得到R1,k和R2,k满足:
其中,R1,k表示第一解调信息,R2,k表示第二解调信息,且R1,k和R2,k均为mk*Nk的矩阵,Hk为Nk*M的矩阵代表发送端到第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息,为Hk的共轭。
此外,式(6.1)和式(6.2)中的其它参数如下述式(7)至式(11)的方式实现。其
中,表示为的逆矩阵,为的共轭,并且,Cyk为接收信号yk的协方差矩阵,可表示为:
其中,E(.)表示求期望,yk表示第k个接收端的接收信号,表示第k个接收端的接收信号的共轭,Hk为Nk*M的矩阵代表发送端到第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息,为Hk的共轭,表示高斯噪声方差,I为单位矩阵。
式(6.1)中的为接收信号yk的伪协方差矩阵,可表示为:
其中,式(6.2)中的表示的共轭。
式(7)中的为xi的协方差矩阵,可表示为:
式(8)中的为接收信号xi的伪协方差矩阵,可表示为:
式(6.1)、式(6.2)中的中间量可表示为:
由式(6.1)、式(6.2)以及式(7)至式(11)可以看出,第k个接收端进行多用户检测所需R1,k和R2,k既与本接收端的宽线性预编码矩阵T1,k、T2,k相关,又与同时被调度的其它k-1个接收端的宽线性预编码矩阵相关。
为此,R1,k和R2,k同时要考虑第k个接收端和干扰用户(即k个接收端中除了第k个接收端之外的其他接收端)的预编码矩阵。为了让第k个接收端获取R1,k和R2,k,在本发明中,如图4所示,发送端针对第k个接收端分别配置解调参考信号和解调参考信号
可选地,和的端口数与数据bk的流数相同,数据bk采用宽线性预编码,如式(1)。
可选地,和分别使用独立的预编码。
可选地,数据bk与解调参考信号在不同的时频资源上进行发送,解调参考信号
可在不同的时频资源上发送,或者采用码分复用。
此外,由于用户进行宽线性检测需要获知宽线性估计所需的解调信息R1,k和R2,k,通过配置解调参考信号和解调参考信号并使得和的端口数与数据bk的空间流数相同,可以以最小参考信号(或称导频)开销支持终端通过解调参考信号和解调参考信号获取R1,k和R2,k,从而支持宽线性估计。
其中,的预编码矩阵为满足:
其中,表示基于预编码矩阵对解调参考信号进行预编码之后得到的信息,Hk为Nk*M的矩阵代表发送端到第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息,表示Hk的广义逆矩阵,也称为摩尔-彭罗斯(Moore-Penrose)广义逆矩阵,表示第k个接收端的第一解调信息,表示第k个接收端的第一解调参考信号。
类似地,的预编码矩阵为满足:
其中,表示基于预编码矩阵对解调参考信号进行预编码之后得到的信息,Hk为Nk*M的矩阵代表发送端到第k个接收端之间的无线信道的信道信息,表示Hk的广义逆矩阵,也称为摩尔-彭罗斯(Moore-Penrose)广义逆矩阵,表示第k个接收端的第二解调信息,表示第k个接收端的第二解调参考信号。
可选地,由于用户k进行多用户所需检测所需的R1,k和R2,k既与本用户宽线性预编码矩阵T1,k、T2,k相关,又与同时被调度的其它用户的宽线性预编码矩阵相关。通过解调参考信号和解调参考信号分别采用独立线性预编码,其预编码矩阵分别承载宽线性估计所需的R1,k和R2,k信息,可使得接收端仅解调自身的解调参考信号而无需解调其它接收端的解调参考信号,就可以获知宽线性估计所需的检测矩阵信息,降低了接收端的检测复杂度。
在图3所示通信方法中,接收端可以通过下述式(14)至(16)的过程实现R1,k和R2,k的确定过程。
在接收端,第k个接收端在步骤S202中接收第一解调参考信号(记为解调参考信号)和第二解调参考信号(记为解调参考信号)之后,第k个接收端可以基于解调参考信号和分别得到宽线性估计所需的R1,k和R2,k。其中,预编码后的信号经过信道传输之后,该第k个接收端收到的信号可表示为:
其中,为高斯噪声。
基于式(14),第k个接收端可获取R1,k的估计:
类似求取R1,k的过程,用户k可获取R2,k的估计,满足:
并且,第k个接收端得到宽线性估计所需的R1,k和R2,k之后,该第k个接收端对在步骤S201中接收到的数据信号yk进行宽线性估计得到发送数据流的估计
由上述实现过程可知,由于第k个接收端进行宽线性检测需要获知宽线性估计所需的矩阵R1,k和R2,k,通过配置解调参考信号和解调参考信号并使得和的端口数与数据bk的空间流数相同,可以最小导频开销支持终端通过解调参考信号和解调参考信号获取R1,k和R2,k,从而支持宽线性估计。
此外,在MU-MIMO系统中,由于第k个接收端进行多用户检测所需的R1,k和R2,k既与本接收端的宽线性预编码矩阵T1,k、T2,k相关,又与同时被调度的其它接收端的宽线性预编码矩阵相关。通过解调参考信号和解调参考信号分别采用独立线性预编码,其预编码矩阵分别承载宽线性估计所需的R1,k和R2,k信息,可使得第k个接收端仅解调自身的解调参考信号而无需解调其它接收端的解调参考信号,就可以获知宽线性估计所需的检测矩阵信息,降低了用户的检测复杂度。
