Description

数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法、基站及终端Signal processing method, base station and terminal under hybrid architecture of digital and analog domains

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及无线传输技术,尤其涉及一种数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法、基站及终端。The present invention relates to wireless transmission technology, and in particular to a signal processing method, a base station and a terminal under a mixed digital and analog domain architecture.

背景技术Background technique

面向IMT-2020的5G移动通信网络为满足业务增长需求和服务质量,需要实现1000倍网络容量增长,同时降低基站能耗,提高运营效率。打造绿色无线接入网是未来网络的关键方向。基于随机矩阵理论可以证明,当基站的天线数目远远超过终端时,每个终端之间的信道将趋于正交,多个用户可以在相同时频资源上进行无干扰传输。与此同时,大规模天线也带来了巨大的阵列增益,大大降低了系统能耗开销。大规模天线(Massive MIMO)技术对提升网络容量,降低网络能耗,促进网络可持续发展起到关键性的作用。In order to meet the needs of business growth and service quality, the 5G mobile communication network for IMT-2020 needs to achieve a 1000-fold increase in network capacity, while reducing energy consumption of base stations and improving operational efficiency. Building a green wireless access network is a key direction for future networks. Based on random matrix theory, it can be proved that when the base station has far more antennas than terminals, the channels between each terminal will tend to be orthogonal, and multiple users can transmit without interference on the same time-frequency resources. At the same time, large-scale antennas also bring huge array gain, which greatly reduces system energy consumption. Massive MIMO technology plays a key role in improving network capacity, reducing network energy consumption, and promoting sustainable network development.

多天线技术在目前4G系统,例如长期演进(LTE,Long Term Evolution)/演进型长期演进(LTE-A,LTE-Advanced)中得到了充分的应用。一方面,收发天线的数量不断增加,比如目前第三代合作伙伴计划(3GPP,3rd GenerationPartnership Project)关于全维度多入多出(FD-MIMO,Full-DimensionMulti-Input-Multi-Output)的相关立项最多可以支持64天线端口的多入多出(MIMO,Multi-Input-Multi-Output)传输;另一方面,MIMO的传输模式也更加多样化,比如,发送分集、空间复用、波束赋形以及多用户MIMO等。但是无论是何种传输模式,目前多天线的处理还都是在数字域进行,如图1所示。The multi-antenna technology has been fully applied in current 4G systems, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE, Long Term Evolution)/LTE-A, LTE-Advanced. On the one hand, the number of transceiver antennas continues to increase, such as the current 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP, 3rd Generation Partnership Project) related projects on full-dimensional multiple-input multiple-output (FD-MIMO, Full-DimensionMulti-Input-Multi-Output) It can support MIMO (Multi-Input-Multi-Output) transmission of up to 64 antenna ports; on the other hand, MIMO transmission modes are more diverse, such as transmit diversity, spatial multiplexing, beamforming and Multi-user MIMO, etc. However, regardless of the transmission mode, the current multi-antenna processing is still performed in the digital domain, as shown in FIG. 1 .

可以预见的是:随着天线数量的持续增加,如果多天线的信号处理还都是集中在数字域进行,则势必会带来非常大的成本开销以及算法处理复杂度,特别是在高频段通信系统中,比如毫米波通信。因此,数字域和模拟域混合架构多天线系统逐步受到人们的广泛关注。如何处理数字域和模拟域混合架构多天线系统的信号传输是有待解决的问题。It is foreseeable that as the number of antennas continues to increase, if the signal processing of multiple antennas is still concentrated in the digital domain, it will inevitably bring a very large cost overhead and algorithm processing complexity, especially in high-frequency communication systems, such as millimeter wave communications. Therefore, multi-antenna systems with hybrid architectures in the digital and analog domains have gradually drawn widespread attention. How to deal with the signal transmission of multi-antenna systems with hybrid architectures in digital domain and analog domain is an open problem.

具体实施方式detailed description

为了能够更加详尽地了解本发明实施例的特点与技术内容,下面结合附图对本发明实施例的实现进行详细阐述,所附附图仅供参考说明之用,并非用来限定本发明实施例。In order to understand the characteristics and technical contents of the embodiments of the present invention in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are only for reference and description, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention.

多天线技术在目前4G系统中得到了充分的应用。但是无论是何种传输模式,目前多天线的处理还都是在数字域进行,随着天线数量的持续增加,如果多天线的信号处理还都是集中在数字域进行,则势必会带来非常大的成本开销以及算法处理复杂度。为此,本发明实施例提出了一种数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法。Multi-antenna technology has been fully applied in the current 4G system. However, regardless of the transmission mode, the current multi-antenna processing is still performed in the digital domain. With the continuous increase in the number of antennas, if the multi-antenna signal processing is still concentrated in the digital domain, it is bound to bring very serious problems. Large cost overhead and algorithm processing complexity. To this end, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a signal processing method under a digital-analog hybrid architecture.

图2为本发明实施例一的数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法的流程示意图,本示例中的数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法应用于基站侧,如图2所示,所述数字模拟域混合架构下的信号处理方法包括以下步骤:FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a signal processing method under a digital-analog domain hybrid architecture according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In this example, the signal processing method under a digital-analog domain hybrid architecture is applied to the base station side, as shown in FIG. 2 , the The signal processing method under the mixed digital and analog domain architecture includes the following steps:

步骤201:根据高层配置向终端发送系统信息、控制信息。Step 201: Send system information and control information to the terminal according to high-layer configuration.

本发明实施例中,数字模拟域混合架构如图5所示,根据TXRU到天线阵子之间映射(连接)方式的不同,可以分为全连接以及部分连接结构。根据天线端口到TXRU映射(连接)方式的不同,可以分为非预编码RS(Non-precodedRS),波束赋形RS(Beamformed RS)或者两者混合方式。In the embodiment of the present invention, the digital-analog hybrid architecture is shown in FIG. 5 , which can be divided into full-connection and partial-connection structures according to different mapping (connection) modes between TXRUs and antenna elements. According to the different mapping (connection) methods from the antenna port to the TXRU, it can be divided into non-precoded RS (Non-precoded RS), beam-formed RS (Beamformed RS) or a combination of the two.

基于上述数字模拟域混合架构的多天线系统,基站根据高层配置向终端发送系统信息、控制信息。Based on the multi-antenna system of the digital-analog hybrid architecture, the base station sends system information and control information to the terminal according to the high-level configuration.

这里,根据模拟域波束选择与反馈方式,在所述控制信息中添加模拟域码字指示信令。Here, according to the analog domain beam selection and feedback manner, the analog domain codeword indication signaling is added to the control information.

具体地,根据模拟域波束选择与反馈方式的不同,与现有LTE/LTE-A标准做法相比,在控制信息方面添加了模拟域码字指示信令,以避免带来每天线阵子信道估计的复杂度问题。Specifically, according to the difference in the beam selection and feedback methods in the analog domain, compared with the existing LTE/LTE-A standard practice, the analog domain codeword indication signaling is added to the control information to avoid causing the sub-channel estimation of each antenna array complexity problem.

本发明实施例中,所述在所述控制信息中添加模拟域码字指示信令,包括:In the embodiment of the present invention, adding the analog domain codeword indication signaling to the control information includes:

在控制信道中设置新的DCI格式,通过所述新的DCI格式添加模拟域当前使用的码字指示信令。A new DCI format is set in the control channel, and the codeword indication signaling currently used in the analog domain is added through the new DCI format.

作为一种实现方式,本发明实施例中,基于每个天线阵子的下行信道估计。由于该方法可以直接得到原始空间信道,因此每个终端可以根据各自的信道状况进行后续模拟域码字指示反馈,理论上不需要控制信道中对于当前使用码字情况的指示信令。As an implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present invention, downlink channel estimation is based on each antenna element. Because this method can directly obtain the original spatial channel, each terminal can perform subsequent analog domain codeword indication feedback according to its own channel conditions, and theoretically does not need indication signaling for the current codeword status in the control channel.

步骤202:接收终端发送的数字域波束指示反馈信息和模拟域波束指示反馈信息。Step 202: Receive the digital domain beam indication feedback information and the analog domain beam indication feedback information sent by the terminal.

在现有LTE/LTE-A系统中,多天线相关的处理只在数据域进行,模拟域采用固定波束指向。本发明实施例中,由于采用了数字模拟域混合架构,并且允许在模拟域进行一定程度的灵活波束指向处理,所以根据模拟域波束选择与反馈方式的不同,除了数字域的反馈外,新增模拟域波束指示反馈信息。In the existing LTE/LTE-A system, multi-antenna related processing is only performed in the data domain, and fixed beam direction is used in the analog domain.

方案二:由于得到了每个天线阵子上的原始空间信道,终端根据一定的准则,比如:信噪比最大化原则,直接反馈模拟域使用码字的索引。Solution 2: Since the original spatial channel on each antenna element is obtained, the terminal directly feeds back the index of the codeword used in the analog domain according to a certain criterion, such as the principle of maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio.
