Description

Method and device for acquiring channel state information
Technical Field
Embodiments of the present invention relate to, but not limited to, the field of communications, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for acquiring channel state information.
Background
In a wireless communication system, before a base station transmits data to User Equipment (UE), downlink Channel Quality Information (MCS) needs to be acquired, and a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) suitable for a current Channel state is selected according to the Downlink Channel Quality Information. The Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) is a Signal transmitted by a base station using a sequence agreed with the UE, and the UE estimates the quality State of a downlink Channel by demodulating, measuring, and calculating the reception strength of the CSI-RS after receiving the CSI-RS. After the UE completes the calculation, the measured Channel state is fed back to the base station in an uplink Channel in the form of a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI). The accurate downlink channel quality state is of great importance, and the following purposes can be achieved through the method: 1) Selecting a reasonable downlink scheduling strategy according to the channel state of the UE; 2) The downlink throughput rate of the user is improved; 3) Effectively control Block Error rate (BLER), and so on.
In a related communication system, when a UE measures a CSI-RS, the UE measures the received power, interference power, and Noise of the received CSI-RS, calculates a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) of the received CSI-RS according to the received power, interference power, and Noise, estimates the quality of a Downlink Channel according to the SINR, and further calculates a reasonable Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) used by a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) for transmitting Downlink traffic data.
Under such a premise, there are the following problems:
1. in some cases, limited by the measurement performance bottleneck of the UE, when the UE is under excellent or bad channel quality (for example, when the UE is very close or very far from the base station), the reception power of the CSI-RS will be respectively too high and too low, limited by the dynamic range of its power measurement, and the UE will not be able to measure the true reception power of the CSI-RS, or the limitation of feedback information in the communication system (for example, the limitation of the range of the CQI reporting field), and the CQI reported by the UE to the base station will be far from the true downlink channel quality status.
2. When the UE needs to perform feedback of a Precoding Matrix (PMI), feeding back a PMI with the highest CQI, and if there are multiple PMIs with the highest CQI, randomly selecting one PMI to perform feedback; when the UE is very close to the base station, all PMIs have the highest CQI value, and then the UE will randomly feed back one PMI among all PMIs, that is, the PMIs reported by the UE multiple times at a close point will exhibit irregular random hopping, which may cause a problem of scrambling in the forming direction during the space division multiplexing among multiple close point UEs.

and calculating the proportion of the number of users with excellent channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell and the proportion of the number of users with extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell according to the channel state of the users in the cell.
In embodiments of the present invention, the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel may be various. For example, the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel includes at least one of:
CQI, reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), SINR of Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), SINR of DeModulation Reference Signal (DMRS) in uplink, and the like.
The information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, and may be from a terminal device or a network device.
In the embodiment of the present invention, determining the channel state of the user according to the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel of the user includes at least one of the following:
when all the information characterizing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the user is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, determining that the user is in excellent channel quality;
and when all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the user is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, determining that the user is in extremely bad channel quality.
In an embodiment of the invention, a sliding window is used to maintain information characterizing the quality of a wireless channel for a user. An example of an implementation of the sliding window can be found in fig. 2. It should be noted that a sliding window may be maintained for each user.
For example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is CQI, a sliding window may be exemplarily used to maintain the acquired CQI for several times;
for another example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is RSRP, a sliding window may be used to maintain the RSRP acquired several times;
for another example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is the SINR of the SRS, a sliding window may be exemplarily used to maintain the SINR of the SRS acquired several times.
In another embodiment of the present invention, considering that for those user equipments which do not need to use power-adjusted CSI-RS to measure CQI, the CSI-RS power variation may introduce errors into the CQI measurement and feedback, so as to ensure system performance, the frequency of transmitting power-adjusted CSI-RS should be maintained within a reasonable range, and before determining the channel state of the user according to the information characterizing the wireless channel quality of the user, the method further comprises at least one of the following:
when the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted according to all the information representing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window, adjusting the length of the sliding window;
and when determining that the length of the sliding window does not need to be adjusted according to all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window, maintaining the length of the sliding window unchanged.
In the embodiment of the invention, whether the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted or not can be judged when new information for representing the quality of the wireless channel is stored in the sliding window; or periodically judging whether the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted; or other trigger conditions may be adopted, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
Wherein, the determining that the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted according to all the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window includes at least one of:
determining that the sliding window needs to be increased when all of the information characterizing the radio channel quality in the sliding window indicates that the user is at an excellent channel quality, or all of the information characterizing the radio channel quality in the sliding window indicates that the user is at an excellent channel qualityThe length of (d); specifically, the length of the sliding window is expanded according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001998479170000081
wherein, winLen 1 To increase the length of the sliding window before, winLen 2 For the increased length of the sliding window, p is the window length growth factor;
when the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the extremely good channel quality to the length of the sliding window is smaller than a third preset threshold, or the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the extremely bad channel quality to the length of the sliding window is smaller than a fourth preset threshold, determining that the length of the sliding window needs to be shortened; specifically, the length of the sliding window is shortened according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001998479170000091
wherein, winLen 3 To shorten the length of the sliding window before, winLen 4 For the shortened length of the sliding window, q is the window length shortening factor, and winLen _ init is the initial length of the sliding window.
As described above, for a single UE, the method of determining whether it is in extreme channel conditions is: and judging whether all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the UE is extreme values. Since the elements in the sliding window are periodically updated, the shorter the window length is, the easier it is to determine that the UE is in the extreme channel condition (assuming that the window length is 1, the UE is determined to be in the extreme channel condition as long as there is an extreme information value representing the radio channel quality in the window), otherwise, the longer the window length is, the harder it is to determine that the UE is in the extreme channel condition (assuming that the window length is 100, it is required that 100 pieces of information representing the radio channel quality in the window are all extreme values, and the UE is determined to be in the extreme channel condition).
For the user whose information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window is extreme, the sliding window of the UE is increased, and then new extreme values are needed in the window to make the UE decide "under extreme conditions" next time. As a result, the frequency of triggering a decision that the UE is in extreme channel conditions is reduced. In such a case, the number of UEs determined to be "in an extreme channel condition" per unit time becomes relatively small as viewed from the entire cell, and the frequency triggering "adjustment of CSI-RS power" is reduced.
Conversely, shortening the window length may make it easier for the UE to be determined as "in extreme channel conditions," and ultimately, may increase the frequency that triggers "adjusting CSI-RS power.
The sliding window length adaptive adjustment algorithm can reasonably adjust the window length of each UE, and finally the frequency for triggering the adjustment of the CSI-RS power is not too high or too low.
Wherein determining that the length of the sliding window does not need to be adjusted according to all the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window comprises:
and when the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the extremely good channel quality to the length of the sliding window is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, or the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the extremely bad channel quality to the length of the sliding window is greater than or equal to a fourth preset threshold, determining that the length of the sliding window does not need to be adjusted.
In another embodiment of the present invention, determining whether the user is in front of having an excellent channel quality or whether the user is in front of having an excellent channel quality according to the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel of the user, the method further comprises: initial parameters are set.
Wherein the initial parameters include: the method comprises the steps of determining the length of a sliding window, determining that the channel quality is excellent, determining that the channel quality represents the threshold of the information of the wireless channel quality (namely a first preset threshold), determining that the channel quality is extremely bad, determining that the threshold of the information of the wireless channel quality represents the threshold of the information of the wireless channel quality (namely a second preset threshold), determining that the number of users under the excellent channel quality in a cell accounts for the total number of users in the cell (namely a first preset proportion), determining that the number of users under the extremely bad channel quality in the cell accounts for the total number of users in the cell (namely a second preset proportion), determining the transmission power default value of a reference signal, reducing the power offset and increasing the power offset.
The embodiment of the invention adjusts the transmitting power of the reference signal when determining that the transmitting power of the reference signal needs to be adjusted based on the proportion of the number of users with excellent channel quality in a cell to the total number of users in the cell and the proportion of the number of users with extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell, and determines the signal-to-noise ratio (SINR) of a downlink channel based on the CQI measured by the reference signal after adjusting the transmitting power and the transmitting power adjustment quantity of the reference signal, thereby reducing the error caused by the limitation of the measuring capability of user equipment or the limitation of feedback information when the users are in excellent or extremely bad channel quality and improving the accuracy of the SINR.
Example 1
The present example is an embodiment of the method for acquiring channel state information according to the present invention, and exemplarily illustrates how to use CQI as information for characterizing wireless channel quality, and determine the channel state where a user is located by using the CQI as a criterion, so as to dynamically adjust the transmission power of CSI-RS, and continuously obtain true and reliable downlink channel quality SINR. As shown in fig. 3, the present example comprises the following steps:
step 301, setting initial parameters.
In this example, the initial parameters set include: the length winLen of the sliding window is used for judging that the CQI threshold cqiThr1 with excellent channel quality is obtained, the CQI threshold cqiThr2 with extremely bad channel quality is obtained, the ratio threshold ueNumThr1 of the number of users with extremely good channel quality in a cell to the total number of users in the cell is obtained, the ratio threshold ueNumThr2 of the number of users with extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell is obtained, and the transmitting power default value P of the CSI-RS is obtained 0 A power down offset α and a power up offset β.
In this example, the length winLen =8 of the sliding window is set, and the CQI gate which determines that the channel quality is excellent is determinedThe limit cqiThr1=15, the CQI threshold cqiThr2=1 is judged to be extremely bad, the ratio threshold ueNumThr1=0.4 of the number of users under extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell is given, the ratio threshold ueNumThr2=0.4 of the number of users under extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell is given, the default value P of the transmission power of the CSI-RS is given, and the channel quality is judged to be extremely bad 0 =17.8dBm, power down offset α = -12dB, power up offset β =5dB.
The specific values of the parameters are selected through tests and belong to empirical values.

In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, in a maintenance mode of a memory space for storing information representing the quality of a wireless channel, a sliding window length self-adaptive adjustment algorithm is adopted, so that the time for adjusting the CSI-RS power is optimized, and the practicability of the algorithm is improved.
It should be noted that, as the information for characterizing the quality of the wireless channel, the SINR of the CQI, RSRP and SRS is used in the embodiment of the present invention, which are only some preferred ways; in an actual embodiment, the channel state in which the user is located may be variously changed, and for example, the SINR of the uplink DMRS may be used.
Referring to fig. 7, another embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for acquiring channel state information, including:

The embodiment of the invention reduces the transmitting power of the reference signal when the number of users with excellent channel quality in a cell is large; and when the number of users with excellent channel quality in a cell is small, and the number of users with extremely bad channel quality is large, the transmitting power of the reference signal is raised, so that the dynamic range of the receiving power of the reference signal is reduced, the condition that the receiving power of the reference signal is out of the dynamic range of the power measurement of the users and the condition that the reported CQI is out of the limit of the range of a CQI reporting field are reduced, the accuracy of the fed-back CQI is improved, namely the accuracy of the SINR is improved, and the condition that the PMI reported for many times at an extremely close point presents irregular random hopping is further reduced.

in another embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting module 701 is further configured to:
determining the channel state of the user according to the information of the user characterizing the wireless channel quality; wherein the channel state comprises at least one of: whether the channel quality of the user is excellent or not and whether the channel quality of the user is excellent or not are judged;
and calculating the proportion of the number of users with excellent channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell and the proportion of the number of users with extremely bad channel quality in the cell to the total number of users in the cell according to the channel state of the users in the cell.
In embodiments of the present invention, the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel may be various. For example, the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel includes at least one of:
CQI, reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), SINR of Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), SINR of DeModulation Reference Signal (DeModulation Reference Signal) in uplink, and the like.
The information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention, and may be from a terminal device or a network device.
In this embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting module 701 is specifically configured to determine the channel state of the user according to the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel of the user by using at least one of the following manners:
when all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the user is greater than or equal to a first preset threshold, determining that the channel quality of the user is excellent;
and when all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the user is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, determining that the user is in extremely bad channel quality.
In an embodiment of the invention, a sliding window is used to maintain information characterizing the quality of a wireless channel for a user. An example of an implementation of the sliding window can be found in fig. 2. It should be noted that a sliding window may be maintained for each user.
For example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is the CQI, a sliding window may be exemplarily used to maintain the obtained CQI for several times;
for another example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is RSRP, a sliding window may be used to maintain the RSRP acquired several times;
for another example, when the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel is the SINR of the SRS, a sliding window may be exemplarily used to maintain the SINR of the SRS acquired several times.
In another embodiment of the present invention, considering that for those user equipments that do not need to use the power-adjusted CSI-RS to measure the CQI, the variation of the CSI-RS power may introduce errors into the measurement and feedback of the CQI, so as to ensure the system performance, the frequency of transmitting the power-adjusted CSI-RS is maintained within a reasonable range, and then the adjusting module 701 is further configured to perform at least one of the following:
when determining that the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted according to all the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window, adjusting the length of the sliding window;
and when determining that the length of the sliding window does not need to be adjusted according to all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window, maintaining the length of the sliding window unchanged.
In the embodiment of the invention, whether the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted or not can be judged when new information for representing the quality of the wireless channel is stored in the sliding window; or periodically judging whether the length of the sliding window needs to be adjusted or not; or other trigger conditions may be adopted, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.
The adjusting module 701 is specifically configured to determine, according to all information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window, a length of the sliding window that needs to be adjusted by using at least one of the following manners:
determining that the length of the sliding window needs to be increased when all the information characterizing the radio channel quality in the sliding window indicates that the channel quality of the user is excellent, or all the information characterizing the radio channel quality in the sliding window indicates that the channel quality of the user is excellent; specifically, the length of the sliding window is expanded according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001998479170000222
wherein, winLen 1 To increase the length of the sliding window before, winLen 2 For the increased length of the sliding window, p is the window length growth factor;
when the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the state of excellent channel quality to the length of the sliding window in the sliding window is smaller than a third preset threshold, or the ratio of the number of the information representing the wireless channel quality indicating that the user is in the state of extremely bad channel quality to the length of the sliding window in the sliding window is smaller than a fourth preset threshold, determining that the length of the sliding window needs to be shortened; specifically, the length of the sliding window is shortened according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0001998479170000221
wherein, winLen 3 To shorten the length of the sliding window before, winLen 4 For the shortened length of the sliding window, q is the window length shortening factor, and winLen _ init is the initial length of the sliding window.
As described above, for a single UE, the method of determining whether it is in extreme channel conditions is: and judging whether all the information representing the wireless channel quality in the sliding window of the UE is extreme values. Since the elements in the sliding window are periodically updated, the shorter the window length is, the easier it is to determine that the UE is in the extreme channel condition (assuming that the window length is 1, the UE is determined to be in the extreme channel condition as long as there is an extreme information value representing the radio channel quality in the window), otherwise, the longer the window length is, the harder it is to determine that the UE is in the extreme channel condition (assuming that the window length is 100, it is required that 100 pieces of information representing the radio channel quality in the window are all extreme values, and the UE is determined to be in the extreme channel condition).
For the user whose information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window is extreme, the sliding window of the UE is increased, and then new extreme values are needed in the window to make the UE decide "under extreme conditions" next time. As a result, the frequency of triggering a decision that the UE is in extreme channel conditions is reduced. In such a case, the number of UEs determined to be "in an extreme channel condition" per unit time becomes relatively small as viewed from the entire cell, and the frequency triggering "adjustment of CSI-RS power" is reduced.
Conversely, shortening the window length may make the UE easier to decide "in extreme channel conditions" and eventually cause the frequency triggering "adjusting CSI-RS power" to increase.
The sliding window length adaptive adjustment algorithm can reasonably adjust the window length of each UE, and finally the frequency for triggering the adjustment of the CSI-RS power is not too high or too low.
The adjusting module 701 is specifically configured to determine, according to all the information characterizing the quality of the wireless channel in the sliding window, that the length of the sliding window does not need to be adjusted by using the following method:
