In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the configuration of the CSI-RS in the current standard is UE-specific, but generally cell-specific, for mobile stations. When using a mobile-specific beamformed CSI-RS based CSI feedback regime, the eNB configures different beamformed CSI-RS resources (commonly referred to as CSI-processes) for different UEs. As shown in fig. 1, the configuration process may specifically include:
step S1: a base station sends a long-term channel state information reference signal to user equipment;
step S2: user equipment sends a channel sounding reference signal to a base station;
step S3: the base station performs virtualization weighting processing on all non-precoded CSI-RSs according to the channel sounding reference signal;
step S4: the base station allocates one or more beam-formed CSI-RS resources for the user equipment;
step S5: and the user equipment feeds back the CSI information to the base station.

In the resource allocation apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention, the second allocation unit includes:
a first configuration subunit, configured to configure at least one first sub-measurement resource for acquiring the first interference information according to long-term channel direction information of the paired user equipment, and use the first sub-measurement resource as a first measurement resource of the paired user equipment;
a second configuration subunit, configured to configure a second sub-measurement resource for acquiring the second interference information.
In the resource allocation apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention, the first allocation subunit is specifically configured to allocate one first sub-measurement resource according to the long-term channel direction information of each paired user equipment, and use the first sub-measurement resource as the first measurement resource of the paired user equipment.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a base station which comprises the resource allocation device.
It should be noted that the apparatus and the base station are apparatuses and base stations corresponding to the above configuration method embodiment, and all the implementations in the above configuration method embodiment are applicable to the apparatus and the base station embodiment, and the same technical effects can be achieved.
In the embodiment of the invention, user equipment firstly acquires a first measurement resource and a second measurement resource configured by a base station for the user equipment, wherein the first measurement resource is used for acquiring channel information of the user equipment, the second measurement resource is used for acquiring first interference information of paired user equipment in the same cell with the user equipment to the user equipment and second interference information of other cells to the cell in which the user equipment is located, and then channel quality indication information of the user equipment is obtained and fed back to the base station according to the first measurement resource and the second measurement resource, so that the problem that the existing channel indication information feedback method cannot meet the requirements of MU-MIMO is solved, and the effective utilization of MU-MIMO is facilitated.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
