Background technology
In multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system, all adopt a plurality of antenna elements to transmit and receive at transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, thereby obtain space diversity gain and spatial multiplexing gain.Sending under the identical situation of gross power, than a single aerial system, the capacity of mimo system is with transmitting antenna and the little person's linear growth of reception antenna unit number.For guaranteeing and strengthen the spatial gain of multiaerial system, the receiving terminal feeding back channel state information, transmitting terminal is optimized transmission based on the channel condition information that receives.Such multiaerial system is called as closed-loop MIMO system.A kind of transmitting terminal commonly used is optimized send mode and is realized with pre-coding matrix by sending signal times.
It is very big to feed back the required expense of channel information completely, especially true for the MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system of multicarrier.For this reason, in the MIMO-OFDM of practicality system, (Precoding Matrix PM), is also referred to as code book to need to design the one group of pre-coding matrix that quantizes space channel in advance.The pre-coding matrix collection is stored in receiving terminal and transmitting terminal respectively.Receiving terminal is optimized the pre-coding matrix that criterion is selected and channel adapts according to certain, and the index of pre-coding matrix (PMI) is fed back to transmitting terminal.Transmitting terminal will send signal times according to this index to carry out many antennas after with corresponding pre-coding matrix again and sends.
As shown in Figure 1, be N for a number of transmit antennas
tThe reception antenna number is N
rThe MIMO-OFDM system, at subcarrier K, the source data of single or multiple lift enters MIMO coding unit 102 after through coded modulation unit 101 and forms s data flow.In precoding unit 103 processes and pre-coding matrix W

Wherein Z (K) is N

tThe pre-coding matrix of * s, X (K) is the vector of s * 1.In OFDM or OFDMA system, usually subcarrier is divided into a plurality of frequency domain resource unit according to continuous or discrete mode, be subchannel or logic frequency band (the following frequency band that also claims), subchannel or logic frequency band refer to the sub-carrier set of continuous adjacent, for example in IEEE 802.16e system, a logic frequency band comprises 72 subcarriers.Subchannel allocation map unit 104 is dispatched to corresponding subchannel with user's data stream and shines upon at physical sub-carrier according to certain mode.After IFFT handled and increases circulation prefix processing, (RF) 106 sent by antenna formed frequency domain multi-carrier signal via radio-frequency front-end at 105 places, IFFT unit.
At the receiver place, the 108 pairs of radio-frequency front-ends 107 in FFT unit receive the signal that comes by antenna and carry out FFT, and by separating the 109 pairs of signal solution mappings through FFT in subchannel allocation map unit, the reception signal after the solution mapping is:

110 places carry out channel estimating in channel estimating unit, can obtain the mimo channel on the subcarrier K
In pre-coding matrix selected
cell 111, according to different MIMO patterns and corresponding code book subclass, by
Finish the selection of pre-coding matrix with the code book selection criterion, as the maximize throughput criterion, minimum signal to noise ratio maximization criterion etc.Selected pre-coding matrix index (PMI) feeds back to transmitter by receiver.Correspondingly, transmitter carries out precoding according to new PMI to sending signal.
MIMO detecting unit 112 carries out data stream separation and equilibrium according to the PMI that the estimated real channel that goes out and transmitter adopt;
Rectification coding unit 113 carries out rectification and channel decoding sends data with recovery.
In the closed-loop MIMO system of practicality, consider the expense of the up feedback of multi-user, for reducing feedback quantity, PMI of common single frequency band feedback.When uplink scheduling is nervous, base station even can determine PMI of a plurality of frequency bands feedbacks.For example, in IEEE 802.16e system, adopt single or PMI of three logic frequency band feedbacks.
Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram that the pre-coding matrix of prior art is chosen and fed back.Transverse axis is the time among the figure, and the longitudinal axis is frequency.To feed back a PMI at a grid.As can be seen from the figure, for each regular time interval (for example chip, time slot, subframe, frame etc.), to respectively send a PMI at each fixing sub-carrier set (for example above said single or multiple logic frequency band), and when determining the PMI that will feed back at each fixing sub-carrier set, utilize each subcarrier to choose to be suitable for the optimum code book of this frequency band.When the wideband frequency selective channel, particularly important.For example send under the situation of a PMI in each logic frequency band, for a logic frequency band, need utilize 72 subcarriers to select to be applicable to an optimum code book of this frequency band.Can be based on the maximum throughput criterion, can make the code book of summation capacity maximum of 72 subcarriers as optimum code book.
The present inventor finds will utilize the channel condition information of each subcarrier to choose optimum code book at every frame or subframe in the prior art in research process of the present invention, and amount of calculation is big.It is especially true when candidate's code book scale ratio is bigger.As the code book for 6bit, need travel through whole 64 pre-coding matrixes to the channel matrix on each subcarrier, amount of calculation is big and make that to ask for the pre-coding matrix complexity of optimum very high for frequency band.Each subframe or frame carry out such computing will cause a large amount of terminal power consumptions.
In addition, the present inventor finds that also when the receiving terminal translational speed was very fast, the performance of closed-loop system sharply descended, even not as good as open cycle system.
Further, the present inventor also finds, can effectively reduce feedback quantity though replace pre-coding matrix to feed back with PMI, and it is still very important for the performance of system to continue to reduce feedback quantity.
The present inventor also finds, these problems do not exist only in precoding technique pre-coding matrix index selection and the feedback in, in technology such as other closed-loop adaptation technology such as Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) selection, frequency band selection, order (Rank) selection, the same existence.The MCS here selects to refer to that receiver (as terminal) feeds back the Modulation and Coding Scheme that each frequency band is suitable at different frequency bands.
Frequency band selects to refer to that the terminal feedback is for the best one or more Band of the own quality of reception.Order during order is selected refers to the mimo channel rank of matrix, but also corresponding the number of data streams of mimo system space division multiplexing.Terminal is carried out the selection of order and is fed back to the base station according to channel conditions.

Wherein
Be that time t and subcarrier K go up a certain transmitting antenna to the channel frequency domain response of reception antenna, L is correlation computations length, and M is the average calculating operation length that antinoise and interference are adopted, and τ is time variable.
Channel determining unit coherence time 302 is determined channel coherence time according to the relevance detection results of channel time domain correlation detector 301.This channel can be used as the operating time interval of parameter selection unit 303 coherence time.Match with channel time domain correlation detector 301 specific embodiment of the operating time processing at interval of determining parameter selection unit 303 of channel determining unit coherence time 302 that shows Fig. 4.
