The application of the invention, the relay transmission mode of use combining multi-description characteristics of information source can improve the transmission rate of multimedia messages and the robustness of system effectively.
Embodiment
To combine the accompanying drawing in the embodiment of the invention below; Technical scheme in the embodiment of the invention is carried out clear, intactly description; Obviously; Described embodiment only is the present invention part embodiment, and the every other embodiment that is not obtained under the creative work prerequisite, all belongs to the scope of the present invention's protection.
By can knowing multiple description coded understanding in the prior art, between base station and user terminal, from the process that is dealt into receipts, must exist two and above path can use multi-description coding method.Along with the appearance of junction network,, make the base station possibly have two even multilink, for multiple description coded application in junction network provides condition to the user through in the sub-district, placing a plurality of relayings.
Based on this, a kind of relay transmission method is provided among the present invention, be applied to comprise that in the network system of base station, a plurality of relay station and user terminal, as shown in Figure 3, this method comprises:
Step s301, relay station receive the full detail that the warp that sends the base station is too much described source encoding;
Step s302, relay station be according to relay for packets under this equipment and full detail, obtain with this equipment under the corresponding description stream of relay for packets and carry out coded modulation;
The description after with coded modulation of step s303, relay station flows to user terminal and sends, and flows to until description to reach user terminal.
In the application scenarios of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 in conjunction with the network architecture sketch map of the multiple description coded double bounce junction network of information source, be in UE (the User Equipment at sub-district middle part; User terminal) can directly receive eNB (evolved NodeB; The information of the base station) sending, and the UE of cell edge is through relay station (Relay Node, switching RN); Link to each other with eNB indirectly, receive forwarding data from RN.
Below be example with the down link, the embodiment of the method that provides among the present invention is described.Fig. 4 is the junction network of double bounce, counts N according to multiple description coded description, and relaying is divided into the N group, and relaying is on the same group transmitted the description stream of identical numbering.Suppose that wherein UE is far away apart from eNB, need to communicate by letter with eNB through relaying; MD representes the many descriptors through too much description source encoding, i.e. full detail; MD
i(i=1,2 ..., N) be i multiple description coded description stream; RN representes relay station, RN
iI the relay station of describing stream transmitted in expression.
Generally speaking; ENB can set relay for packets according to the feedback information of UE; And the source content of multimedia carried out the corresponding source encoding of describing according to the relay for packets result more; And multiple description coded result is advanced the body content carry out corresponding many description source encodings, and multiple description coded result is carried out coded modulation according to the relay for packets result.For radio network, because eNB is a mass-sending information, UE does not have based on feedback link, can make the close RN of physical location alternately belong to different packets.At this moment; ENB can pass through fixedly feedback signal acquisition relay for packets result of relaying, and RN works in MDF (Multiple Descriptio n Forward, multiple description encoding is transmitted) pattern; And according to the setting of grouping in advance of RN, on the same group relaying is not transmitted the description stream informations of different numberings.Receiving terminal image restored quality is weighed with PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Y-PSNR).Transmission divides two stages to carry out:
Phase I, the code modulation mode of eNB to configure: QM
ENBAnd Rate
ENB(be respectively the first jump set transmission link, promptly eNB is to the RN link, the corresponding bit number and the code rate of chnnel coding of modulation system) sends MD, with the reception of assurance central user and relay station.RN
iThe information of receiving image is decoded, obtain bit stream information.
Second stage, RN
iBit stream information to decoding obtains is obtained the corresponding descriptor of this relaying, obtains own the MD that will transmit
i, and according to the code modulation mode that configures: QM
ENBAnd Rate
ENB(be respectively second jump set transmission link, the i.e. RN
iTo the UE link, the corresponding bit number of modulation system and the code rate of chnnel coding) to MD
iCarry out coded modulation, forward corresponding results then.
For UE, no matter receive several description streams, can both decode, recover the image of respective quality.
When multiple description coded scheme was confirmed, two-hop link corresponding codes modulation system confirmed that method is following:
Suppose the multiple description coded back of image/video information via MD
iThe bit number ratio that all after multiple description coded are described the bit number of stream with the image/video information via be η, then confirm that according to formula (1) first jumps the code modulation mode with the second jumping link.
η×QM
eNB/Rate
eNB=QM
RN/Rate
RN (1)
When both can not equate fully, can be through adding character rate unanimity on the feasible assurance of redundant information two links.
In junction network, general eNB is better than RN to the UE link performance to the RN link performance.When RN works in DF (Decode and Forward; Tradition decoding is transmitted) during pattern; In order to guarantee performance through the edge customer of RN access; Jump the lower information rate of employing in the link transmission process second, thereby the transmission rate that has also limited first jumping can cause waste to the capacity of the first jumping link like this.When RN works in the MDF pattern, through mating the coded modulation scheme that link is jumped in first jumping and second, made full use of the capacity of the link of this double bounce, under the prerequisite that guarantees user's receptivity, improved the efficient of images.
Below the relay transmission scheme that relates in the method provided by the invention is carried out emulation and is described simulation result.RN carries out multiple description coded forwarding, in antagonism burst network burst error, improves the efficiency of transmission of image/video.So, take all factors into consideration the efficient and the quality of sending image information, introduce the parameter TP of similar throughput
ImagCarry out comprehensive characterization, be defined as

In the formula (2):

Simple in order to describe, under situation about being without loss of generality, the RN number that makes UE insert is 2, and the concrete simulation parameter of many description stream N=2 is as shown in table 1.

Because UE inserts two RN, RN exists MDF and two kinds of forward modes of DF.The corresponding simulation scheme is explained respectively as follows:
When (one) RN worked in the MDF pattern, employed transmission plan sketch map was as shown in Figure 5.ENB mass-sending MD information, to guarantee the reception of central user and relay station, the modulation system of employing is 16QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation, a quadrature amplitude modulation), channel coding rate Rate=1/3.RN carries out demodulation coding with the information of receiving, then information source information is carried out multiple description coded η=0.5, and grouping in advance is provided with the description stream of transmitting reference numeral, i.e. RN according to RN

2Transmit MD
2The modulation system that adopt this moment becomes QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, QPSK), and code rate is constant.UE carries out the signal that receives to carry out the merging of describing behind the demodulation coding more.Because after multiple description coded, information data amount will be for half the, then the character rate of first jumping and the second jumping link remains unchanged.
When (two) RN worked in the DF pattern, employed transmission plan was shown in Fig. 6 sketch map.ENB mass-sending MD information, to guarantee the reception of central user and relay station, the modulation system of employing is QPSK, speed Rate=1/3.RN carries out DF with the information that receives and transmits, and this moment, RN was identical to the RN link with eNB to the code modulation mode of UE link.UE carries out soft information with the information that receives and merges, and obtains diversity gain.
Generally speaking, the first jumping link-quality is better than second jumping link, the i.e. SNR generally speaking
ENB_RN(eNB is to the SNR of RN link) is greater than SNR
RN_UE(RN is to the SNR of UE link).Thereby the SNR of two-hop link carried out the setting of following dual mode:
First kind of mode:

eNB_RN-SNR
RN_UE=5dB

Obtain TP
Imag-SNR
RN_UECurve is as shown in Figure 8.PSNR wherein
Fix=24 and 26, under the quantification manner in application scenarios of the present invention, satisfy the PSNR threshold value of the subjective viewing effect of user.
Can find out by Fig. 7, at SNR
ENB_RN-SNR
RN_UEDuring=5dB, work as SNR
ENB_RNWhen reaching 20dB, the performance that RN works in the MDF mode is superior to RN and works in the DF pattern.Can find out by Fig. 8, at SNR
ENB_RNDuring=20dB, work as SNR
RN_UEWhen reaching 15dB, the performance that RN works in the MDF mode is superior to RN and works in the DF pattern, is consistent with the conclusion of Fig. 7.So in junction network, second jumps better (SNR of link-quality
RN_UEHigher) time, relaying works in multiple description coded forward mode, can effectively improve the throughput of edge customer.
