At length set forth to the main realization principle of embodiment of the invention technical scheme, embodiment and to the beneficial effect that should be able to reach below in conjunction with each accompanying drawing.
In order to support multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO; Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) transmission; When CSI-RS is sent to user terminal in the base station, can send CSI-RS based on 2 CSI-RS ports, data flow transmitted is 2 data flow between base station and the user terminal at this moment; Also can send CSI-RS based on 4 CSI-RS ports; Data flow transmitted is 4 data flow between base station and the user terminal at this moment, can also send CSI-RS based on 8 CSI-RS ports, and data flow transmitted is 8 data flow between base station and the user terminal at this moment.
In the embodiment of the invention, the expense that 2 CSI-RS ports, 4 CSI-RS ports and 8 CSI-RS ports are sent the RE of CSI-RS is made as: 1RE and port and PRB that is to say that on each PRB each DM-RS port only takies 1 RE transmission CSI-RS.
As shown in Figure 2, be CSI-RS sending method flow chart in the embodiment of the invention, its concrete processing procedure is following:
Step 21; To each sub-district; Among the RE outside the RE that in each PRB of MBSFN subframe to be sent, comprises, remove carrying Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH, Physical Downlink Control Channel), CRS and DM-RS, confirm to carry the RE of CSI-RS;
If base station each user terminal in each sub-district in the MBSFN subframe sends CSI-RS; Then can in each PRB in this MBSFN subframe, issue, wherein all carry the CSI-RS that issues to a plurality of sub-districts among each PRB, not overlapping to the RE that the CSI-RS of each sub-district transmission is shared; Be that a plurality of sub-districts are realized multiplexing in each PRB; The CSI-RS that send to a plurality of sub-districts this moment does not disturb mutually, if the multiplexing factor is 3, then in each PRB of MBSFN subframe; The shared RE of CSI-RS that sends to three sub-districts does not have overlapping fully, and the CSI-RS pattern (Pattern) that the shared RE of CSI-RS that promptly sends to each sub-district forms is mutually orthogonal.
In the PRB of MBSFN subframe; Preceding two OFDM symbols are used to transmit PDCCH and CRS; For fear of PDCCH, CRS and DM-RS CSI-RS is produced interference; The embodiment of the invention proposes in RE that each PRB comprised, except that the RE that carries PDCCH, CRS and DM-RS, to confirm to carry the RE of CSI-RS.
Wherein to the MBSFN subframe that adopts Normal CP; DM-RS can but be not limited to take on the 3rd, the 4th, the 13rd of being arranged in order by the order after arriving first and the 14th the OFDM symbol according to the time according to the 1st, the 2nd, the 6th, the 7th, the 11st and the 12nd number of sub-carrier being arranged in order to the order of high frequency by low frequency; This moment, CSI-RS can take subcarrier on the 3rd, the 4th, the 13rd and the 14th the OFDM symbol, that do not carry DM-RS; The 3rd, the 4th, the 5th, the 8th, the 9th or the 10th number of sub-carrier on promptly the 3rd, the 4th, the 13rd and the 14th the OFDM symbol, CSI-RS can also take the norator carrier wave on the 5th, the 6th, the 7th, the 8th, the 9th, the 10th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol; To the MBSFN subframe that adopts Extended CP; DM-RS can but be not limited to take the experimental process carrier wave on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol; This moment, CSI-RS can take subcarrier on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol, that do not carry DM-RS, and CSI-RS can also take the norator carrier wave on the 5th, the 6th, the 7th, the 8th, the 9th, the 10th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol.
Fig. 3 A is for sending the PRB sketch map of PDCCH, CRS and DM-RS in the MBSFN subframe that adopts Normal CP; Fig. 3 B is for sending the PRB sketch map of PDCCH, CRS and DM-RS in the MBSFN subframe that adopts Extended CP; Because uncertain DM-RS takies which subcarrier on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol; Therefore in Fig. 3 B, all subcarriers on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol all are designated the subcarrier that carries DM-RS; DM-RS possibly only take some subcarriers on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol in fact, rather than whole subcarriers.
In the embodiment of the invention; Can be at the white space among Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, the RE that chooses defined amount arbitrarily carries CSI-RS (choosing in the subcarrier also can be in Fig. 3 B on the 3rd, the 4th, the 11st and the 12nd the OFDM symbol, that do not carry DM-RS).
Step 22, the CSI-RS that needs is sent to this sub-district is mapped among the RE that determines;
Step 23 sends to the user terminal in each sub-district with said MBSFN subframe.
Below in detail introduction how to confirm to carry the RE of CSI-RS.
The base station has a plurality of CSI-RS ports to be used to send CSI-RS; In advance the CSI-RS port is divided at least one CSI-RS port set; The quantity of the CSI-RS port that each CSI-RS port set comprises is 2, if the quantity of CSI-RS port is 2, then all CSI-RS ports is divided into a CSI-RS port set; If the quantity of CSI-RS port is 4; Then all CSI-RS ports on average are divided into two CSI-RS port set,, then all CSI-RS ports on average are divided into 4 CSI-RS port set if the quantity of CSI-RS port is 8.
To each CSI-RS port; Comprise at each PRB of MBSFN subframe, among the RE except that the RE that carries PDCCH, CRS and DM-RS; Confirm to carry the RE of CSI-RS; Wherein, the RE that is determined to each the CSI-RS port in the same CSI-RS port set is identical, and the RE that is determined to the CSI-RS port in the different CSI-RS port set is different; That is to say that each the CSI-RS port in the same CSI-RS port set takies identical RE transmission CSI-RS; And each the CSI-RS port in the different CSI-RS port set takies different RE transmission CSI-RS, and the CSI-RS that each the CSI-RS port in the therefore different CSI-RS port set sends adopts frequency division multiplexing, and (FDM, mode Frequency-DivisionMultiplexing) is distinguished.
Confirm to carry to each CSI-RS port CSI-RS RE concrete mode can but be not limited to as follows:
To each CSI-RS port, at first comprise at each PRB of MBSFN subframe, select 1 or 2 OFDM symbols in the OFDM symbol except that the OFDM symbol that carries PDCCH and CRS, can but be not limited to realize through following manner; With each PRB of MBSFN subframe OFDM symbol combination that comprise, except that the OFDM symbol that carries PDCCH and CRS is several OFDM symbols, and each OFDM symbols comprises 1 OFDM symbol or 2 OFDM symbols, if comprise two OFDM symbols; Then these two OFDM symbols can be adjacent, also can be non-conterminous, in the OFDM symbols that is combined into; Select an OFDM symbols; Among the RE the RE that is comprised at the OFDM symbol of selecting, remove carrying DM-RS, it is right that per two RE on the same sub-carrier or the adjacent RE of per two number of sub-carrier on the identical OFDM symbol are combined as a RE, the RE centering that is being combined into; Select at least one RE right; With each RE of each RE centering of selecting, confirm as the RE that carries CSI-RS, wherein if each OFDM symbols comprises 2 adjacent OFDM symbols; Then preferably, can per two RE that OFDM symbol on the same sub-carrier is adjacent to be combined as a RE right.
To the MBSFN subframe that adopts Normal CP,, then can be combined as 12 OFDM symbols if comprise an OFDM symbol in each OFDM symbols; To the MBSFN subframe that adopts Extended CP,, then can be combined as 10 OFDM symbols if comprise an OFDM symbol in each OFDM symbols.
For with common subframe in CSI-RS Pattern be consistent; The embodiment of the invention is established each CSI-RS port when sending CSI-RS; Take 2 RE on the PRB; Two RE that one of them CSI-RS port takies can be for two on the same OFDM symbol adjacent or non-conterminous subcarrier; Also can be the same subcarrier on two adjacent or non-conterminous OFDM symbols, in addition, two RE that the CSI-RS port takies can also corresponding different OFDM symbol and different subcarriers.Therefore; Can but be not limited in the OFDM symbols that is combined into to select an OFDM symbols, if comprise an OFDM symbol in the OFDM symbols of combination, then selected an OFDM symbol; If comprise two adjacent OFDM symbols in the OFDM symbols of combination; Then selected two adjacent OFDM symbols, in addition, can but be not limited to select a RE right the RE centering that is combined into; If selected an OFDM symbol; The RE that then selects is right to the RE that forms for the adjacent RE of two number of sub-carrier on the OFDM symbol of selecting, if selected two adjacent OFDM symbols, the RE that then selects is right to the RE that forms for the adjacent RE of two OFDM symbols on the same sub-carrier.
For the CSI-RS that each CSI-RS port of distinguishing in the same CSI-RS port set sends, the embodiment of the invention proposes to adopt the mode of code division multiplexing (CDM, Code-Division Multiplexing) to distinguish; For distributing an orthogonal intersection (OCC respectively for each the CSI-RS port in each CSI-RS port set; Orthogonal Cover Code), wherein owing to comprise two CSI-RS ports in each CSI-RS port set, the length of the OCC that therefore distributes is 2; To each the CSI-RS port in each CSI-RS port set; According to the OCC that distributes, the CSI-RS that RE carried of each the RE centering that will select to this CSI-RS port respectively sends to the user terminal in each sub-district, wherein; When two RE of RE centering are the adjacent RE of two number of sub-carrier on the same OFDM symbol; Be the CDM on the frequency domain, when two RE of RE centering are the adjacent RE of two OFDM symbols on the same subcarrier, be the CDM on the time domain.
For example, CSI-RS port 0 is formed a CSI-RS port set with the CSI-RS port one, and wherein CSI-RS port 0 takies identical RE with the CSI-RS port one and sends CSI-RS; The OCC that distributes for CSI-RS port 0 is (1 ,-1), and the OCC that distributes for the CSI-RS port one is (1; 1), the RE that selects to CSI-RS port 0 and CSI-RS port one to be the 5th with the 6th OFDM symbol on the RE that forms of the 12nd number of sub-carrier right, CSI-RS port 0 basis (1;-1), the CSI-RS that RE carried with this RE centering sends to user terminal, CSI-RS port one basis (1; 1), the CSI-RS that RE carried with this RE centering sends to user terminal.
In order to utilize bigger power to send CSI-RS as far as possible; The embodiment of the invention proposes; When the CDM on adopting frequency domain distinguished the CSI-RS that each the CSI-RS port in the same CSI-RS port set sent, to each the CSI-RS port in any CSI-RS port set, the RE that in two adjacent PRB of frequency domain, selects respectively was different to pairing OFDM symbol; For example; The CSI-RS port one takies the 11st and the 12nd number of sub-carrier transmission CSI-RS on the 5th the OFDM symbol in PRB1, then the CSI-RS port one takies the 11st and the 12nd number of sub-carrier transmission CSI-RS on the 6th the OFDM symbol in PRB2, and wherein PRB1 and PRB2 are two adjacent on frequency domain PRB; When PRB1 sends CSI-RS on the 5th OFDM symbol like this; Because its PRB2 sends CSI-RS on the 6th OFDM symbol, so PRB1 can use the transmitted power of PRB2 on the 5th OFDM symbol, and then the power that makes each PRB all use to try one's best big sends CSI-RS.For example, can make two CSI-RS port set on two frequency domains, alternately send the OFDM character position of CSI-RS among the adjacent PRB each other.
In addition, for the interference between the CSI-RS that reduces neighbor cell, neighbor cell should be avoided taking identical RE as far as possible and send CSI-RS; Promptly on identical OFDM symbol, neighbor cell should take different subcarriers as far as possible and send CSI-RS, perhaps on the same sub-carrier; Neighbor cell should take different OFDM symbols as far as possible and send CSI-RS; The RE that promptly selects respectively to neighbor cell for the ease of networking, should make that the multiplexing factor of CSI-RS Pattern is big as far as possible to non-overlapping copies; Usually, this multiplexing factor is not less than 3.
