Description

DMRS的发送方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种DMRS的发送方法及装置。
背景技术
无线通信系统中,发送端和接收端一般会采用多根天线进行发送和接收以获取更高的速率。多输入多输出(multiple-input-multiple-output,简称为MIMO)技术的一个原理是利用信道的一些特征来形成匹配信道特征的多层传输,从而能在不增加带宽和功率的基础上就获得显著的性能提升,这在目前的系统中也得到了广泛应用。比如在长期演进(Long Term Evolution,简称为LTE)和其增强版本高级长期演进(Long Term Evolution-Advanced,简称为LTE A)系统中有多种多天线技术传输的模式,其中,传输模式2为空频分集,传输模式3为开环空间复用或称为开环MIMO技术,传输模式4为闭环空间复用,传输模式5为多用户MIMO,传输模式6为单数据流的闭环空间复用,传输模式7和8分别为单流和双流波束赋形,而传输模式9支持最大8层的空间复用,并能实现当用户和多用户的自适应切换,数据层数的自适应切换,支持开环MIMO和闭环MIMO模式。
在上述的传输模式中,有的需要用户反馈预编码矩阵指示符(Precoding Matrix Indicator,简称为PMI),这种称为闭环MIMO技术,有的不需要反馈预编码矩阵指示符(Precoding Matrix Indicator,简称为PMI),这种称为开环MIMO技术。LTE/LTE A中定义这些传输模式,主要是为了适应不同用户的信道特征以及用户的接收能力。比如对于1根接收天线的用户它只能使用复用层数为1的MIMO技术,信道变化比较快的用户,可以考虑使用开环的MIMO技术,这是因为用户移动速度比较快时,信道的改变比较快,在反馈周期内,闭环空间复用反馈的预编码信息并不能准确及时的反应基站下一个反馈周期内下行信道信息,从而会导致性能的下降。而开环空间复用技术由于不需要反馈预编码信息,具有更好的鲁棒性。
LTE/LTE A的早期版本比如Release 8/Release 9采用基于小区公共参考信号(Cell-specific Reference Signal,简称为CRS)的开环MIMO,它是利用TM3(即,传输模式3)来实现的,而且解调主要考虑利用CRS的方法进行解调。由于CRS最大支持4端口,所以TM3不支持大于4端口的情况。
随着基站配置的发送端口越来越多,支持更多端口的开环MIMO技术也需要被支持,在LTE/LTE A的release 10以及以后的版本中,定义了传输模式9和传输模式10,它可以基于解调参考信号(Demodulation Reference Signal,简称为DMRS)做开环MIMO的。在相关的LTE/LTE A协议中DMRS是UE-specific Reference Signal associated with PDSCH,也即UE专用的用于下行传输的参考信号,在发送DMRS之前,需要将DMRS经过预编码W映射到天线端口上去,在通过天线端口发送出去。它一般使用的预编码W和同一个物理资源块(Physical Resource Block,简称为PRB)中数据或者增强下行控制信道(enhance Physical Downlink Control  Channel,简称为ePDCCH)使用的预编码相同,从而终端在用DMRS进行数据/增强的物理下行控制信道(Enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称为ePDCCH)解调时,不需要基站配置预编码W信息,直接用解调参考信号(De Modulation Reference Signal,简称为DMRS)估计的信道对数据或者ePDCCH解调,这种经过预编码后发送的DMRS称为预编码的DMRS。在LTE/LTE A的release 10~release 13版本里,DMRS最多支持8个端口,分别为port{7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14}。每个port分别占住12个资源单位(Resource Element,简称为RE)。
在基于DMRS的开环MIMO中,由于终端不会反馈预编码信息,所以基站没有先验的信息来确定于下行匹配的预编码来传输数据,从而由于预编码不准确导致性能下降,特别是在基于多个PRB对粒度的开环预编码情况,一旦选择的预编码不合适,容易造成整个数据块的传输失败,一种办法就是将一个PRB对划分成多个资源粒度组(Resource Element Group,简称为REG),每个REG独立使用一个预编码,从而能有效地遍历不同的码字,从而提高系统的性能。
接下来对码本的相关背景进行说明:LTE的码本随着标准版本的演进,也在不断的演进,在版本Release 8和Release 9中4天线的码本和2天线的码本都是单码字的形式,只有一个PMI其值表示为i=0,…,N11-1,N11为码字的个数。在Release 10的8天线码本和Release 12的4天线码本时,就是双码本反馈的形式了,即码字可以写成W=WL*WS的形式,而WL是长期反馈的码本,一般有N11个组,每个组包括了M1个备选波束,用户选择N11个组的一个组索引反馈给基站,这个反馈一般用PMI1来量化和反馈,其值一般用i1==0,…,N11-1表示,N11为所述WL的个数;WS表示一个短期反馈的码本,它的作用是在WL码字里选择M1个备选波束里的一个,并为同一个数据层的每个极化方向选择的波束选择极化相位Co-phasing,WS里的每个码字用PMI2量化和反馈,其值为i2=0,…,M1-1,M1为WS的个数,其中每种rank下的N11和M1的取值不同,具体的可以参考LTE Release 10协议。
在R12以前的码字都是针对1D天线阵列的,属于1D的码字,在Release 13的码本里设计里,由于使用了更多的天线,码本的维度变得更大了。天线的拓扑一般也是平面阵列的,即有两个维度方向的天线设计了2D的码字。从而码字WL里的每个波束具有形式2维的形式
Figure PCTCN2017078321-appb-000001
其中,vm和un分别为第一维度和第二维度的离散傅里叶矢量(Discrete Fourier Transform,简称为DFT),m=1,2,…,N11,n=1,2,…,N12
Figure PCTCN2017078321-appb-000002
表示vm和un的kronecker乘积,第一维度端口(端口可以包括天线/port/端口/传输单元/阵子/阵元等可以发送信号的装置)数N1个,第二维度端口数N2个,第一维度端口对应的DFT进行了O1倍的过采样,第二维度的端口对应的DFT进行了O2倍的过采样,所述第一维度或者第二维度天线的离散傅里叶矢量的个数是端口数目的过采样因子的倍数,所以有N11=N1*O1,N12=N2*O2,O1为第一维度过采样因子,O2为第二维度过采样因子。WL中第一个维度的码本用PMI11表示,其值为i11=0,…,N11-1,第二个维度的码本用PMI12表示,其值为i12=0,…,N12-1。对于上述的每一个PMI11和PMI12的索引,都有M1个WS码字,每个WS码字就是为了从WL里选择2维波束
Figure PCTCN2017078321-appb-000003
以及不同极化方向的Co-phasing,对应的码字索引为PMI2,用i2=0,…,M1-1 表示。不失一般性,把第一维度端口数N11=1或第二维度端口数N12=1的码字称为1D码字,而第一维度端口数N11>1且第二维度端口数N12>1的码字成为2D码字。如果是1D码字且是单码字结构用PMI或者i表示,如果是1D码字且在双码字结构中用PMI1和PMI2共同表示,索引由i1/i2共同表示,如果是2D码字用PMI11,PMI12,PMI2三个码本索引共同表示或者由索引i11,i12,i2共同表示。
第三代合作项目组织(The 3rd Generation Partnership Project,简称为3GPP)还引入了信道状态信息(Channel State Information,简称为CSI)进程process的概念,基站可以为终端配置多个CSI process,每个CSI process相当于一个信道状态信息测量及反馈进程,各个CSI process之间是独立的,可以分别进行参数配置。在传输模式9中,支持1个Process,传输模式10中可以支持最大4个Process。每个CSI process的配置中定义了信道测量部分的配置和干扰测量部分以及反馈模式的配置,干扰测量部分可以是单一干扰测量配置csi-IM-ConfigId也可以是干扰测量列表的配置csi-IM-ConfigIdList,后者主要用于时分双工(Time Division Duplex,简称为TDD)支持增强的干扰管理与业务自适应(enhanced Interference Management and Traffic Adaptation,简称为eIMTA)的情况。CSI process的配置中还可以包含一些其他的配置信息如导频功率Pc信息,码书限制(Codebook Subset Restriction)的bitmap指示信息,4Tx码本版本选择的指示信息。
信道信息的测量和反馈的类别有两种:分别为Class A和Class B。Class A是指基站发送CSI-RS,一般为非预编码导频,UE基于该信道状态信息测量导频CSI-RS直接进行信道测量及CSI量化,得到秩指示(Rank Indicator,简称为RI)/预编码矩阵指示(Precoding Matrix Indicator,简称为PMI)/信道质量指示(Channel Quality Indication,简称为CQI)。将这些内容在物理上行控制信道(Physical Uplink Control Channel,简称为PUCCH)或物理上行共享信道(Physical Uplink Shared Channel,简称为PUSCH)上进行反馈。Class B是指基站发送的CSI-RS,一般为预编码导频,UE可能需要先进行预编码导频的选择,或预编码导频的resource set选择,或端口组选择,然后再基于选择的CSI-RS导频进行信道信息的量化反馈。Class B又分成Class B,Kc>1和Class B,Kc=1在Class B,Kc>1中,终端需要选择和反馈CSI-RS资源索引(CSI-RS resource index,简称为CRI)选择信息,以及基于选择的CRI对应的CSI-RS测量资源子集计算对应的RI/PMI/CQI信息。这里,有Kc套独立的CSI-RS resource,每套CSI-RS resource对应一个CRI,且有独立的Nk个CSI-RS端口配置,CSI-RS pattern配置,导频序列配置等。在Class B,Kc=1中,只有一套CSI-RS resource,N1≤8,一般把N1个CSI-RS导频端口分成N1/2组,每组对应一个不同的波束,通过WS-only码本反馈所选的端口,以及端口对应波束的co-phasing信息。当然,Class B,Kc=1也可以基于传统的码字反馈。
为了便于描述,和减小重复描述,这里将发送端(即,发送设备),接收端(即,接收设备)以及一些概念,场景和配置方法进行介绍。在一个包括至少一个发送端和至少一个接收端的系统里,每个发送端配置的天线/端口/阵元数目为N,这里N为大于或等于1的正整数。发送端使用Nb个PRB对为其服务的一个用户传输数据或增强下行控制信道(enhance Physical Downlink Control Channel,简称为ePDCCH)导频信号。每个PRB对是包括Nc个子载波和Ns个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,简称为OFDM)/正交频分 多址(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access,简称为OFDMA)符号的资源单位(Resource Element,简称为RE,也可称为资源粒度或资源粒子)的集合S,它包括Nc*Ns个RE。将每个PRB对传输数据或者ePDCCH的所有RE划分成K个数据REG,这里标记为DATA REG其中K为大于1的正整数,每个DATA REG组包含同一个PRB对里的若干个RE,并且不同的DATA REG组里的RE没有重复的。K个DATA REG使用独立的预编码进行层到天线端口的映射。由于同一个PRB里有K个不同预编码对应的DATA REG,为了给这K个DATA REG进行数据检测,需要将同一个PRB里的预编码的DMRS端口也分成K个DMRS REG组,每组预编码的DMRS端口组使用独立的K个预编码分别映射到天线端口后发送给接收端,接收端接收M个预编码的DMRS,并将M个端口分成K个DMRS REG,分别进行信道估计,每DMRS REG分别进行信道估计,并为与之关联的DATA REG上的数据进行数据检测解调。这里,一个DMRS REG和一个DATA REG组相关联,不失一般性假设第k个DMRS REG和第k个DATA REG进行关联,所述的关联即用户用第k个DMRS REG进行信道估计,并用估计的信道得到第k个DATA REG区域的信道估计,并对第k个DATA REG进行数据检测,解调,解码等。
在相关技术中,在同一个PRB对里只使用预编码的DMRS作为解调参考信号。一方面,如果发送数据的层数为R,对同一个PRB对里的传输数据或ePDCCH区域划分了K个不同的DATA REG,每个DATA REG需要一个DMRS REG与之关联,那么就总共需要K*R个DMRS端口。当K比较大或者R比较大时,所需要的DMRS端口数就会比较大,也即DMRS会占用大量的RE,导致资源利用率下降。
针对相关技术中存在的RE占用量大,资源利用率低的问题,目前尚未提出有效的解决方案。

下面结合具体实施例对本发明进行说明:
为了方便理解实施例中的描述,在此再分别从发射端(即,上述的发送设备)和接收端(即,上述的接收设备)的角度对本发明进行说明,在下述的实施例中,以DMRS的类型为预编码DMRS和/或非预编码DMRS为例来介绍对预编码DMRS和非预编码DMRS的处理流程。
在发送端:
对于预编码的DMRS,如图7所示,码字流首先经过层映射处理后映射成R层数据流,然后将R个DMRS分别插入这R层数据流,之后每一层数据进行预编码处理后再映射到天线端口。对于非预编码的DMRS,如图8所示,码字流首先经过层映射处理后映射成R层数据流,然后对这R层数据流进行预编码处理,对预编码处理之后的数据再插入DMRS(与预编码的DMRS不同,这里的DMRS没有经过预编码的处理),最后再将这些数据映射到天线端口上。
在接收端:
对于预编码DMRS,由于基于预编码DMRS进行的信道估计可以直接反应传输层所经历的信道,包括预编码信息,因此可以直接用于不同层的相干解调,也就是说,发送端不需要把预编码的使用信息通知给接收端,接收端也能完成数据的解调。而对于非预编码DMRS,此时,接收端从接收到的DMRS端口上的信号并不能知道发送端使用了何种预编码,因此在利用非预编码DMRS进行信道估计后,还需要发送端将发送端发送DMRS时所使用的预编码信息通知给接收端,之后接收端再利用信道估计的结果以及预编码信息才可以对数据符号进行解调。
下面结合具体实施例对上述描述进行说明:
实施例1
在本实施例中,DMRS的类型可根据显式信令配置/确定。
对于发送端来说:
发送端通过显式信令直接对DMRS的类型进行配置。
当配置的DMRS的类型为预编码的DMRS时,发送端将每个PRB对里的RE分成K个DATA REG,G1,G2,…,GK,每个组里包括M1,M2,…,MK个RE,且同一个PRB对里的一个RE属于且仅属于一个DATA REG组,同时将M个DMRS端口P1,P2,…,PM分成K个DMRS端口组S1,S2,…,SK。发送端独立地使用预编码Ci分别对第k个DMRS端口组 Sk进行预编码,并且发送端对与之关联的第k个DATA REG也使用Ci进行预编码。于是,发送端就把K个预编码的DMRS端口和K个DATA REG映射到天线端口从而发射出去。同时,发送端传输给用户Ci为N*R的预编码矩阵,其中i=1,2,…,K;R为发送数据的层数。
当配置的DMRS的类型为非预编码的DMRS时,发送端将每个PRB对里的RE分成K个DATA REG,G1,G2,…,GK,每个组里包括M1,M2,…,MK个RE,且同一个PRB对里的一个RE属于且仅属于一个DATA REG组,同时将M个DMRS端口P1,P2,…,PM分成K个DMRS端口组S1,S2,…,SK。对于第k个DMRS端口和与之关联的第k个DATA REG,发送端直接将DMRS端口上的信号映射到天线端口上,但是对第k个DATA REG要与预编码矩阵Wd相乘后再映射到天线端口上。
对接收端来说:
接收端接收显式信令,从信令指示内容可以确定接收到的DMRS的类型。接收端将M个预编码DMRS端口P1,P2,…,PM分成K个DMRS端口组S1,S2,…,SK,并同时把PRB对里的RE分成K个DATA REG,G1,G2,…,GK,每个组里包括M1,M2,…,MK个RE,且同一个PRB对里的一个RE属于且仅属于一个DATA REG组。
当接收端接收到预编码的DMRS时,接收端可以直接利用DMRS端口上的信号进行信道估计,然后利用信道估计的结果对与之关联的DATA REG进行数据解调。
当接收端接收到非预编码的DMRS时,接收端还会接收到K个预编码矩阵Ck(对应于上述的Wd),其中k=1,2,…,K。接收端将接收到的预编码矩阵Ck与第k个非预编码的DMRS端口组上的信号相乘,再根据相乘后得到的信号进行信道估计,然后利用信道估计的结果对与之关联的第k个DATA REG进行数据解调。
实施例2
在本实施例中,DMRS的类型可根据隐式信令配置/确定,即,可以根据数据发送的层数或者信道秩R、非预编码DMRS端口数N和划分的DMRS端口组的个数K配置/确定。
对于发送端来说:
发送端根据数据发送的层数或者信道秩R,非预编码DMRS天线端口数N,以及一个PRB对里的DMRS端口组的个数K,当满足约束条件K*R>N时,发送端配置非预编码的DMRS。
发送端将每个PRB对里的RE分成K个DATA REG,G1,G2,…,GK,每个组里包括M1,M2,…,MK个RE,且同一个PRB对里的一个RE属于且仅属于一个DATA REG组,同时将M个DMRS端口P1,P2,…,PM分成K个DMRS端口组S1,S2,…,SK。对于第k个DMRS端口和与之关联的第k个DATA REG,发送端直接将DMRS端口上的信号映射到天线端口上,但是对第k个DATA REG要与预编码矩阵Wd相乘后再映射到天线端口上。
对于接收端来说:

下面以LTE/LTE A的帧结构,举例说明各类参数的取值对DMRS类型的影响,比如,在只有12个RE的DMRS帧结构,如图9,M取值为2,port 7和port8通过正交覆盖码(orthogonal cover codes,简称为OCC)的方式共享12个DMRS RE,传输的数据层数为2,DMRS也分成两组即K=2,天线端口数N=2,把PRB对里的RE也分成2组,如图10,DATA REG1和DATA REG2,并且使port 7与DATA REG1关联,port 8和DATA REG2关联。根据约束关系K*R=2*2>N,于是在发送端中,port 7和port 8上的DMRS都不需要经过预编码而直接映射到天线端口发射,而DATA REG1和DATA REG2分别用预编码矩阵C1和C2进行预编码后再映射到天线端口发射。接收端根据约束关系K*R=2*2>N确定接收到的DMRS是非预编码的DMRS,然后接收端接收2个端口port 7和port 8的DMRS以及2个预编码矩阵C1和C2。接收端用port7上的信号和预编码矩阵C1进行信道估计,并利用估计的信道对DATA REG1做数据解调。接收端用port8上的信号和预编码矩阵C2进行信道估计,并利用估计的信道对DATA REG2做数据解调。其中C1和C2是N*2的预编码矩阵。
