Embodiment
For making the application's object, technical scheme and advantage clearer, referring to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the application is described in further detail.
The application proposes one and in the set of location, configures multiple reference signal resource altogether in void, thereby improves the method for down channel characterisitic parameter certainty of measurement.
In the application, the combination of " multiple " reference signal resource comprises the implication of two aspects: on the one hand, can be that multiple reference signal resources of same type combine; On the other hand, can be that one or more reference signal resources of number of different types combine.
Particularly, the application's main thought is: first, base station configures multiple reference signal resources and issues at same TP, thereby make these reference signal resources meet empty location relation altogether, form the location set altogether of a void, then, same void is total to the multiple reference signal resources in the set of location by base station combination and configuration information thereof are handed down to UE by high-level signaling, UE is known and met empty combination and the configuration information thereof of the multiple reference signal resource of location relation altogether, and measure down channel characterisitic parameter on described multiple reference signal resource, owing to having increased sample number, thereby improve certainty of measurement, and increase the scope of the down channel characterisitic parameter that UE can estimate.
The satisfied void of the configuration altogether multiple reference signal resource of location relation can be multiple CSI-RS resource, also can be demodulated reference signal (DMRS) resource of multiple ePDCCH collection, can also be the combination of the DMRS resource of multiple or single CSI-RS resource and multiple or single ePDCCH collection.Fig. 2 provided existing under 2 ports the CSI-RS resource mapping pattern schematic diagram in subframe.Can be found out by numeral in figure: have 20 kinds of different CSI-RS resource distributions, each CSI-RS resource only has 2 resource elements in a Resource Block.
In order to realize the application's object, the embodiment of the present application has proposed a kind of method that adopts the multiple reference signal resource of empty location altogether to measure down channel characterisitic parameter, comprises the following steps: subscriber equipment receives configuration and meets the empty signaling of the multiple reference signal resource of location relation altogether; Subscriber equipment obtains and measures the corresponding void of down channel characterisitic parameter combination and the corresponding configuration information thereof of the reference signal resource of location altogether according to described signaling; The multiple reference signal resource that subscriber equipment adopts described satisfied void to be total to location relation carries out the measurement of down channel characterisitic parameter; Subscriber equipment receives according to the down channel characterisitic parameter of measuring Downlink Control Information and the downlink data that base station sends, and the down channel characterisitic parameter obtaining according to the configuration reporting measurement of base station.
As shown in Figure 3, utilize the multiple reference signal resource in empty location altogether for the embodiment of the present application and measure the method flow diagram of down channel characterisitic parameter, comprise the following steps:
S110: subscriber equipment receives signaling, the corresponding satisfied void of characteristic of channel parameter multiple reference signal resource combination and the corresponding configuration information thereof of location relation altogether measured in described signaling instruction.Below also " meeting the multiple reference signal resource combination of empty location relation altogether " can be called to " the multiple reference signal resource in the empty set of location altogether ".
In this step, base station can send this signaling to subscriber equipment by radio-resource-configuration message or control information.
In this step, the described satisfied void altogether compound mode of the multiple reference signal resource combination of location relation can adopt following any one or various ways to adopt simultaneously:
Compound mode one, the mode that adopts frequency domain to combine, configures multiple channel reference resource and meets empty location (QCL) relation altogether, selects multiple CSI-RS resources to combine by CSI-RS resource distribution (CSI-RS configuration).For example: in Fig. 4 example shown, selection be that reference signal resource is configured to 0 and 2 CSI-RS resource and combines.
Compound mode two, the mode that adopts time domain to combine, configures multiple CSI-RS resource and meets QCL relation, selects the reference signal resource of different subframes to combine by CSI-RS sub-frame configuration (CSI-RS subframe configuration).For example: in Fig. 5 example shown, selection be that reference signal sub-frame configuration in different subframes is that 15,16,17 reference signal resource combines.
Compound mode three, the DMRS resource of configuration CSI-RS resource and ePDCCH collection meets QCL relation.The method that strengthens QCL certainty of measurement than the DMRS with dynamic dispatching PDSCH, under this compound mode, the configuration of ePDCCH collection (the right index of PRB for example taking) configures by high-level signaling is semi-static.UE can be informed on some time-frequency positions of radio frames certain existence can be for strengthening the DMRS channel of QCL characteristic of channel certainty of measurement, thereby ensure the robustness that QCL measures.Here the ePDCCH collection that is used for strengthening QCL characteristic of channel certainty of measurement, is generally distributed ePDCCH collection.The DMRS of distributed ePDCCH collection is that multiple UE share, its transmitting power each PRB on normally constant, and to arrange according to the poorest UE of channel quality, this is all conducive to improve QCL certainty of measurement.
Here the distributed ePDCCH collection of introducing, the just precision in order to utilize its DMRS enhancing QCL characteristic of channel to measure, and do not require that UE must utilize this ePDCCH collection to detect the ePDCCH of scheduling up-downgoing transmission simultaneously.Existing standard is supported at most 4 kinds of QCL hypothesis to PDSCH, but UE at most only detects two ePDCCH collection, therefore, according to the application's compound mode three, necessarily there is so distributed ePDCCH collection, it can be used for strengthening the precision that UE measures the QCL characteristic of channel, but UE is not configured on this distributed ePDCCH collection and detects ePDCCH.In fact, 4 the distributed ePDCCH collection of precision measured for strengthening the QCL characteristic of channel that configure, can be different from UE and detect the ePDCCH collection of ePDCCH completely.In fact a UE is existed at most to 6 ePDCCH collection, on 4 distributed ePDCCH collection, UE only need to measure its DMRS and then obtain the QCL characteristic of channel therein, and two other ePDCCH collection need to both detect DMRS and also detect alternative ePDCCH channel.To a QCL parameter set, the distributed ePDCCH collection that strengthens QCL characteristic of channel certainty of measurement can be exactly also the ePDCCH collection of a detection ePDCCH of UE configuration.Like this, the ePDCCH collection number of the actual detection of UE correspondingly reduces.
For two examples, compound mode three is described below.
As shown in Figure 6, the DMRS resource that makes 1 CSI-RS resource (resource distribution is 0) and distributed ePDCCH set pair answer meets QCL relation, further this distributed ePDCCH collection of hypothesis comprises 4 PRB couple, and essence is to utilize 4 PRB of distributed ePDCCH collection upper DMRS port one 07 and 109 to be strengthened to the QCL characteristic of channel precision of utilizing CSI-RS resource (resource distribution is 0) to measure.
As shown in Figure 7, make 2 CSI-RS resources (resource distribution is 0 and 2) and the DMRS resource of distributed ePDCCH collection meet QCL relation, further this distributed ePDCCH collection of hypothesis comprises 4 PRB couple, and essence is to utilize 4 PRB of distributed ePDCCH collection upper DMRS port one 07 and 109 to be strengthened to the QCL characteristic of channel precision of utilizing CSI-RS resource (resource distribution is 0 and 2) to measure.
In the application's step S110, in the time selecting to meet the multiple CSI-RS combination of resources of empty location relation altogether, selection mode can be following any one:
Selection mode one selects arbitrarily CSI-RS resource to combine from optional CSI-RS resource.
Selection mode two, according to the correlation properties of measuring the requirement of characteristic of channel parameter and the temporal frequency domain of channel, selects correlation properties strong and be that CSI-RS resource on different time domain symbol combines.
As shown in Figure 4, if consider temporal frequency domain correlation, in identical subframe, select the resource that time domain difference and frequency are adjacent to combine, for example, reference signal resource is configured to 0 and 2 CSI-RS resource and combines.
As shown in Figure 5, if consider temporal frequency domain correlation, between different subframes, pass through to select CSI-RS sub-frame configuration, selection has same period and in the adjacent CSI-RS resource of time domain, is 15,16 as selected reference signal sub-frame configuration, 17 reference signal resource combines, reference signal resource in combination is in adjacent sub-frame 0,1, in 2 like this.

plant combination, can be to this
the individual line number that is combined into, or select subset to be wherein numbered according to the demand of channel relevancy and measurement.Be illustrated below by table 1.
