Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.
The core idea of the invention is as follows: comparing the power distribution value of each user acquired by the base station with data in the power distribution information table according to the information such as the power distribution information table, the downlink rank value and the like, searching to obtain a matched reference power value, and sending control indication information corresponding to the matched reference power value to the user terminal by the base station; and the user terminal analyzes the received control indication information according to the power distribution information table and the downlink rank value so as to obtain the power distributed by the base station for each user.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of steps of an embodiment of a method of indicating power allocation for a MU-MIMO system according to the present invention is shown, comprising the steps of:
step 101: presetting a power distribution information table shared by a base station and a user in a system, wherein the power distribution information table comprises: a plurality of reference downlink rank values, a plurality of reference control indication information, and a reference power value corresponding to each reference downlink rank value and each reference control indication information;
step 102: acquiring a power distribution value of each user in the system and an actual downlink rank value shared by the base station and each user;
step 103: the base station searches a reference power value matched with the power distribution value in a power distribution information table according to the power distribution value and the actual downlink rank value;
step 104: sending the control indication information corresponding to the matched reference power value to a corresponding user;
step 105: and the user searches and obtains a corresponding reference power value in the power distribution information table according to the control indication information and the actual downlink rank value.
In step 101, the power allocation information table includes: the base station includes a plurality of reference downlink rank values, a plurality of reference control indication information, and a reference power value corresponding to each reference downlink rank value and each reference control indication information.
For the actual downlink rank value in step 102, it is a relatively long-lasting parameter compared to the period of data transmission, i.e. the downlink rank value will remain unchanged for a long period of time for the user, and will not change every subframe like the control indication information. The downlink rank value may be that all users in the whole cell under the coverage of the base station are the same, or that different users in the cell have different parameters.
In step 103, "matching" may be interpreted as "closest", that is, the base station finds the reference power value closest to the power allocation value in the power allocation information table according to the power allocation value and the actual downlink rank value, in other words, finds that the absolute value of the difference between the reference power value and the power allocation value is the smallest.
Preferably, the actual downlink rank value is preset by the user according to RRC (radio resource control) signaling, and the user notifies the base station after the parameter is preset.
Of course, the actual downlink rank value is not limited to specifying the parameter through the radio resource Control signaling, but may also be through other higher layer signaling, for example, MAC (media access Control) signaling may also be used, and is not listed here.
In addition, the actual downlink rank value may also be shared by the user and the base station by: the parameters are preset by the base station, which then informs the user of the parameters.
Referring to fig. 2, there is shown a flow chart of steps of an embodiment of a method for obtaining power allocation values in step 102 in the method shown in fig. 1, including:
step 201: acquiring channel quality indications fed back by each user in the system;
wherein, the channel quality can be obtained from the user terminal through a feedback channel, for example, a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) system; the channel estimation can also be performed directly through the uplink pilot information, for example, in a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system.
Step 202: carrying out user scheduling according to the channel quality indication and carrying out power distribution;
specifically, the base station performs a multi-user MIMO call according to the acquired Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), and in this step, processing such as CQI update may be included. In this step, power allocation is also performed to the scheduled users, and the power allocation here may utilize any existing power allocation method.
Step 203: and quantizing the power distribution result.
The reason why quantization is performed is: the number of reference power values in the above power information allocation table is limited.
For example, in MU-MIMO, three users, user 1, user 2, and user 3, are assumed, where the rank value of user 1 is 1, the rank value of user 2 is 2, and the rank value of user 3 is 1.
At the current time, the base station schedules to two users: user 1 and user 2, and according to the existing power allocation method, the result of quantized power allocation is: user 1 gets power 0.3P, where P is the total transmit power and user 2 gets power 0.7P.
Then, according to the power allocation information table shown in table 1, the base station selects a reference power value matching 0.3P from the column corresponding to the rank value 1 for user 1, which is 1/3P, and the corresponding control indication information is "10"; the base station selects a reference power value matching 0.7P from the column corresponding to rank value 2 for user 2, which is 3/4P, and the corresponding control instruction information is "11".
Then, the base station sends control instruction information such as "10" and "11" to each user in MU-MIMO, and according to the control instruction information "10", the user 1 searches power 1/3P allocated by the base station from the power allocation information table shown in table 1 in combination with its own rank value 1; similarly, user 2 searches power 3/4P allocated by the base station from the power allocation information table shown in table 1 according to control instruction information "11" thereof, in combination with rank value 2 of itself.
Table 1: power distribution information table
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 shows a flow chart of steps of another embodiment of a method of indicating power allocation for a MU-MIMO system according to the present invention, comprising the steps of:
step 301: presetting a power distribution information table shared by a base station and a user in the system;
step 302: acquiring a scheduled user in the system and an actual downlink rank value shared by a base station and the scheduled user;
step 303: performing power allocation combination on the scheduled users according to a plurality of reference power values corresponding to the actual downlink rank values in the power allocation information table;
step 304: calculating the overall performance gain of the combination of power allocations and selecting the combination of power allocations with the maximum overall performance gain;
step 305: determining the reference control indication information corresponding to the scheduled user in the combination according to the power distribution information table;
step 306: sending the reference control indication information to a corresponding user;
step 307: and searching and obtaining a corresponding reference power value in a power distribution information table by the user according to the control indication information and the actual downlink rank value.
Wherein, in step 301, the power allocation information table includes: the base station apparatus includes a plurality of reference downlink rank values, a plurality of reference control indication information, and a reference power value corresponding in common to each of the reference downlink rank values and each of the reference control indication information.
Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart illustrating steps of acquiring an embodiment of a scheduled user in the system in step 302 in the method illustrated in fig. 3 is shown, including the following steps:
step 401: acquiring channel quality indications fed back by each user in the system;
step 402: and acquiring the scheduled user in the system according to the channel quality indication.
Preferably, the actual downlink rank value is a parameter preset by the user according to RRC (radio resource control) signaling, and the user notifies the base station after the parameter is preset.
Of course, the actual downlink rank value is not limited to the parameter specified by the rrc signaling, but may also be other higher layer signaling, for example, MAC (media access Control) signaling, which is not listed here.
In addition, the actual downlink rank value may also be shared by the user and the base station by: the parameters are preset by the base station, which then informs the user of the parameters.
That is, the present invention is not limited to how the actual downlink rank value is shared by the base station and the user, and the actual downlink rank value should be a parameter that changes for a long time.
