Tune.
在现有技术中,用于数据传输的时频资源单位为资源块(Resource Block,以下简称:RB),全频带可以分为多个RB对(以下简称:RB pair),每个RB pair在时域上对应两个时隙(以下简称:slot),多组导频符号与多层数据符号在同一个RB pair上传输,多组导频符号之间是以码分或时频分复用方式传输的,其中,每层数据符号对应一组导频符号。在LTE或LTE-A中,发送端设备可以在一个RB pair的一个slot上传输某一种物理下行控制信道(X-Physical Downlink Control Channel,以下简称:X-PDCCH),在另一个slot上传输物理下行共享信道(Physical Downlink Shared Channel,以下简称:PDSCH)。X-PDCCH用来传输下行共享信道的控制信息,接收端设备首先接收X-PDCCH,解出接收PDSCH所需要的控制信息,然后再解PDSCH。在同一个RB pair中传输的X-PDCCH和PDSCH采用相同的导频进行信道估计,即采用相同正交码长的导频进行信道估计。In the prior art, the time-frequency resource unit used for data transmission is a resource block (Resource Block, hereinafter referred to as: RB), and the entire frequency band can be divided into multiple RB pairs (hereinafter referred to as: RB pair), and each RB pair is In the time domain, corresponding to two time slots (hereinafter referred to as slots), multiple sets of pilot symbols and multi-layer data symbols are transmitted on the same RB pair, and multiple sets of pilot symbols are code-division or time-frequency division multiplexed In this way, each layer of data symbols corresponds to a set of pilot symbols. In LTE or LTE-A, the sending end device can transmit a physical downlink control channel (X-Physical Downlink Control Channel, hereinafter referred to as: X-PDCCH) on a slot of an RB pair, and transmit it on another slot Physical Downlink Shared Channel (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, hereinafter referred to as: PDSCH). The X-PDCCH is used to transmit the control information of the downlink shared channel. The receiver device first receives the X-PDCCH, decodes the control information required for receiving the PDSCH, and then decodes the PDSCH. The X-PDCCH and PDSCH transmitted in the same RB pair use the same pilot for channel estimation, that is, use the same orthogonal code length for channel estimation.
但是,发明人在实现本发明的过程中发现,现有技术在进行上述X-PDCCH的信道估计时,时常出现无法估计出实际信道的问题,从而导致X-PDCCH解调错误。However, the inventors found in the process of implementing the present invention that in the prior art, when performing the channel estimation of the above-mentioned X-PDCCH, the problem that the actual channel cannot be estimated often occurs, which leads to X-PDCCH demodulation errors.

下面结合图2对图1所示本发明信道估计方法实施例一的技术方案进行详细说明。The technical solution of
图2为图1所示信道估计方法实施例一中RB pair的结构示意图,如图2所示,该RB pair包括slot1和slot2,该RB pair在时域上包括14个符号(以下简称:symbol),在频域上包括12个子载波(以下简称:subcarrier),解调导频(Demodulation Reference Signal,以下简称:DMRS)的导频符号在slot1上占用RB pair内的第5,6个symbol,在slot2上占用RB pair内的第12,13个symbol。存在一种RB pair,在此种RB pair内X-PDCCH在slot1上传输,PDSCH在slot2上传输。PDSCH和X-PDCCH使用相同的导频符号进行信道估计,即使用占用第5,6,12,13个符号上的DMRS符号的子集或全集进行信道估计。其中,DMRS符号的层数与PDSCH上传输的数据层数相同,每层数据均对应一组导频符号,以便估计出该数据层所经历的信道。Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the RB pair in
如果接收端设备最多可支持8层数据传输,则发送端设备在一个RB pair内最多需要传输8组导频符号,这8组导频符号有些是以不同的时频资源区分,有些是码分。例如,支持8层数据传输时,第1,2,5,7组导频符号占用相同的DMRS时频资源,即图2中的深色的DMRS资源部分,则第1,2,5,7组导频符号需要通过码分在相同的时频资源上传输,也即此时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有4层(大于2层)导频符号;第3,4,6,8组导频符号占用相同的DMRS时频资源,即图2中的浅色的DMRS资源部分,也即此时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有4层(大于2层)导频符号。具体地,这8组导频符号采用的正交码例如表1所示。If the receiver device can support up to 8 layers of data transmission, the sender device needs to transmit up to 8 sets of pilot symbols in one RB pair. Some of these 8 sets of pilot symbols are distinguished by different time-frequency resources, and some are code-divided. . For example, when supporting 8-layer data transmission, the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th groups of pilot symbols occupy the same DMRS time-frequency resources, that is, the dark DMRS resource part in Figure 2, then the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th groups Group pilot symbols need to be transmitted on the same time-frequency resource through code division, that is, at this time, there are 4 layers (more than 2 layers) of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair; , 6 and 8 groups of pilot symbols occupy the same DMRS time-frequency resource, that is, the light-colored DMRS resource part in Figure 2, that is, at this time, there are 4 layers (greater than Layer 2) pilot symbols. Specifically, the orthogonal codes used by the eight groups of pilot symbols are shown in Table 1, for example.
如果一个接收端设备最多支持4层数据传输,则发送端设备在一个RBpair内最多需要传输4组导频符号。其中第1,2组导频符号可以占用相同的DMRS时频资源,如图2中的深色的DMRS资源部分,因此,第1,2组导频符号需要通过码分在相同的时频资源上传输,也即此时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有2层(小于等于2层)导频符号。第3,4组导频符号可以占用相同的DMRS时频资源,如图2中的浅色的DMRS资源部分,同理,此时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有2层(小于等于2层)导频符号。If a receiver device supports at most 4 layers of data transmission, the sender device needs to transmit at most 4 sets of pilot symbols in one RBpair. The first and second groups of pilot symbols can occupy the same DMRS time-frequency resources, as shown in the dark DMRS resource part in Figure 2, therefore, the first and second groups of pilot symbols need to be divided into the same time-frequency resources by code Uplink transmission, that is, at this time, there are 2 layers (less than or equal to 2 layers) of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair. The 3rd and 4th groups of pilot symbols can occupy the same DMRS time-frequency resource, as shown in the light-colored DMRS resource part in Figure 2. Similarly, at this time, there are 2 layers on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair (less than or equal to 2 layers) pilot symbols.
与4层数据传输对应的导频信号可以采用下述表1中序号1~4的正交码序列处理。The pilot signals corresponding to the 4-layer data transmission can be processed by using the orthogonal code sequences with
表1Table 1
由此可知,当数据传输层数小于等于4时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上最多有2层导频符号,此时,第5,6个symbol上叠加的2组DMRS相互正交,第12,13个symbol上叠加的2组DMRS符号相互正交,因此,接收端设备可以联合第5,6个symbol上接收到的DMRS符号进行控制信道的信道估计。当数据传输层数大于4时,在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上最少有3层导频符号,此时,接收端设备需要联合第5,6,12,13个symbol才能获得4组DMRS符号之间的正交性,因此,接收端设备需要联合第5,6,12,13个符号上接收到的DMRS符号进行控制信道的信道估计。It can be seen that when the number of data transmission layers is less than or equal to 4, there are at most 2 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair. At this time, the 2 groups of DMRS superimposed on the 5th and 6th symbols are mutually Orthogonal, the two sets of DMRS symbols superimposed on the 12th and 13th symbols are orthogonal to each other, so the receiving end device can combine the DMRS symbols received on the 5th and 6th symbols to perform channel estimation of the control channel. When the number of data transmission layers is greater than 4, there are at least 3 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair. At this time, the receiving device needs to combine the 5th, 6th, 12th, and 13th symbols to obtain 4 Orthogonality between DMRS symbols in a group, therefore, the receiver device needs to combine the DMRS symbols received on the 5th, 6th, 12th, and 13th symbols to perform channel estimation of the control channel.
因此,接收端设备要想对控制信道进行正确的信道估计,首先要获得在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有几层导频符号,从而才能采用相应的信道估计方式进行控制信道的信道估计。而在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上存在的导频符号的层数依赖于PDSCH上传输的数据的层数。但是,由于在接收端设备接收到如图2所示的RB pair后,首先需要对X-PDCCH进行信道估计,此时接收端设备并不知道slot2中传输的PDSCH的数据层数,因此,接收端设备无法获知在相同的时频资源上一共叠加了几层DMRS符号,从而也无法获知所需采用的控制信道的信道估计方式。如果接收端设备认为最多2层DMRS叠加在相同的时频资源上,而实际上PDSCH的传输层数大于4,则接收端设备无法估计出实际信道,从而无法进行X-PDCCH的解调。Therefore, if the receiver device wants to perform correct channel estimation on the control channel, it must first obtain several layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair, so that the corresponding channel estimation method can be used to perform control channel estimation. channel estimation. However, the number of layers of pilot symbols existing on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair depends on the number of layers of data transmitted on the PDSCH. However, after receiving the RB pair shown in Figure 2, the receiving device first needs to perform channel estimation on the X-PDCCH. At this time, the receiving device does not know the number of data layers of the PDSCH transmitted in slot2. Therefore, the receiving The end device cannot know how many layers of DMRS symbols are superimposed on the same time-frequency resource, and thus cannot know the channel estimation method of the control channel to be used. If the receiving end device thinks that at most 2 layers of DMRS are superimposed on the same time-frequency resource, but in fact the number of transmission layers of PDSCH is greater than 4, the receiving end device cannot estimate the actual channel and thus cannot demodulate X-PDCCH.
本实施例正是针对上述现有技术中接收端设备无法获知到底采用哪种信道估计的方式对图2所示的RB pair进行X-PDCCH的信道估计而出现的问题,提出的解决方案。This embodiment proposes a solution to the problem that the receiver device in the prior art cannot know which channel estimation method to use to perform X-PDCCH channel estimation on the RB pair shown in FIG. 2 .
在本实施例中,接收端设备可以借用码本子集限制信令CodebookSubsetRestriction来获知PDSCH上的数据传输层数。该CodebookSubsetRestriction信令是一种高层半静态信令,该信令的值即表示在下一次该信令到达前发送端设备发送给接收端设备的PDSCH上的最大数据传输层数。接收端设备在一个RB pair上接收到发送端设备发送的数据后,可以通过CodebookSubsetRestriction信令确定在该RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上最多有几层导频符号。In this embodiment, the receiver device can obtain the number of data transmission layers on the PDSCH by using the codebook subset restriction signaling CodebookSubsetRestriction. The CodebookSubsetRestriction signaling is a high-level semi-static signaling, and the value of the signaling indicates the maximum number of data transmission layers on the PDSCH sent by the sending end device to the receiving end device before the next arrival of the signaling. After receiving the data sent by the sending device on an RB pair, the receiving device can determine how many layers of pilot symbols there are at most on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair through the CodebookSubsetRestriction signaling.
具体来说,若CodebookSubsetRestriction的值大于4,则表示在RB pair的PDSCH上的数据传输层数大于4,也即表示该RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号,此时,接收端设备即可采用在所述资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号的方式进行所述控制信道的信道估计。在本实施例中,该信道估计方式可以为联合控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号和数据信道所在的资源块上接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,举例来说,若该RB pair的传输格式如图2所示,则接收端设备可以联合第5,6,12,13个符号上接收到的DMRS符号进行控制信道的信道估计。Specifically, if the value of CodebookSubsetRestriction is greater than 4, it means that the number of data transmission layers on the PDSCH of the RB pair is greater than 4, which means that there are more than 2 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair, At this time, the receiving end device can perform channel estimation of the control channel in a manner that there are more than 2 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the resource block pair. In this embodiment, the channel estimation method can perform channel estimation of the control channel by combining the pilot symbols received on the resource block where the control channel is located and the pilot symbols received on the resource block where the data channel is located. For example, if the The transmission format of the RB pair is shown in Figure 2, and the receiving device can combine the DMRS symbols received on the 5th, 6th, 12th, and 13th symbols to perform channel estimation of the control channel.
若CodebookSubsetRestriction的值小于等于4,则表示在该RB pair的PDSCH上的数据传输层数小于等于4,也即表示该RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有小于等于2层导频符号,此时,接收端设备即可采用在所述资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上有小于等于2层导频符号的方式进行所述控制信道的信道估计,该信道估计方式可以为联合RB pair中控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,仍以图2举例来说,则接收端设备可以联合第5个、第6个符号上接收到的DMRS符号进行控制信道的信道估计。If the value of CodebookSubsetRestriction is less than or equal to 4, it means that the number of data transmission layers on the PDSCH of the RB pair is less than or equal to 4, which means that there are less than or equal to 2 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair, At this point, the receiving end device can perform channel estimation of the control channel by using the same pilot time-frequency resource in the resource block pair to perform channel estimation of the control channel. In the RB pair, the pilot symbols received by the resource block where the control channel is located perform the channel estimation of the control channel. Still taking Figure 2 as an example, the receiving end device can combine the DMRS symbols received on the fifth and sixth symbols to perform Channel estimation for the control channel.
需要说明的是,本实施例是以假设接收端设备最多可支持8层数据传输为前提的实施例,本领域技术人员同样可以理解的是,如果接收端设备可以支持更多层数据传输,则可以以上述实施例为参考,类推相似的技术方案,而且,对于8层数据传输来说,正交码也可以采用表1之外的其它码字,只要能够保证DMRS的正交性即可。It should be noted that this embodiment is based on the assumption that the receiver device can support up to 8 layers of data transmission. Those skilled in the art can also understand that if the receiver device can support more layers of data transmission, then The above embodiment can be used as a reference to analogize similar technical solutions. Moreover, for 8-layer data transmission, other codewords than those in Table 1 can also be used as the orthogonal code, as long as the orthogonality of the DMRS can be guaranteed.
另外,本实施例中的接收端设备可以为手机等终端设备,发送端设备可以为基站等网络侧设备。In addition, the receiving end device in this embodiment may be a terminal device such as a mobile phone, and the sending end device may be a network side device such as a base station.
本实施例中,接收端设备在RB pair上接收到发送端设备发送的数据后,可以通过码本子集限制信令获知该RB pair上的数据信道上的数据传输层数,从而根据该数据传输层数获知在该RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上叠加的导频符号的层数,从而可以采用导频符号的层数大于2层对应的方式或者采用导频符号的层数大于4层对应的方式进行控制信道的信道估计,从而能够正确地估计出实际信道,进而保证控制信道的正确解调。In this embodiment, after the receiver device receives the data sent by the sender device on the RB pair, it can know the number of data transmission layers on the data channel on the RB pair through the codebook subset restriction signaling, so that according to the data The number of transmission layers knows the number of layers of pilot symbols superimposed on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair, so that the number of layers of pilot symbols is greater than the corresponding method of 2 layers or the number of layers of pilot symbols is greater than The channel estimation of the control channel is performed in a way corresponding to the 4 layers, so that the actual channel can be correctly estimated, and then the correct demodulation of the control channel can be ensured.
为了解决上述接收端设备无法正确估计出实际信道,从而无法进行X-PDCCH的解调的问题,本发明实施例还提供了下述解决方案。In order to solve the above-mentioned problem that the receiving end device cannot correctly estimate the actual channel and thus cannot demodulate the X-PDCCH, the embodiments of the present invention also provide the following solutions.
图3为本发明信道估计方法实施例二的流程图,如图3所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:FIG. 3 is a flow chart of
步骤301、接收发送端设备发送的信令,所述信令中包含资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2的指示信息,其中,控制信道和数据信道共用所述资源块对;Step 301: Receive the signaling sent by the sending end device, the signaling includes indication information indicating whether the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the resource block pair is greater than 2, wherein the control channel and data The channel shares the resource block pair;
步骤302、根据所述指示信息,进行所述控制信道的信道估计。Step 302: Perform channel estimation of the control channel according to the indication information.
其中,步骤302可以具体为:如果所述指示信息指示资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数大于2,则采用在所述资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号的方式进行所述控制信道的信道估计;如果所述指示信息指示资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数小于等于2,则采用在所述资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上有小于等于2层导频符号的方式进行所述控制信道的信道估计。Wherein,
具体来说,在本实施例中,发送端设备可以向接收端设备发送信令,该信令可以专门用于指示接收端设备该RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2。接收端设备在接收到该信令后,可以根据该信令中包含的指示信息来确定RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2,从而可以根据该指示信息,采用相对应的信道估计方式进行控制信道的信道估计。Specifically, in this embodiment, the transmitting end device may send signaling to the receiving end device, and the signaling may be specifically used to indicate to the receiving end device the number of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair. Whether the number of layers is greater than 2. After receiving the signaling, the receiving end device can determine whether the number of layers of the pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair is greater than 2 according to the indication information contained in the signaling, so that according to the indication information, and use the corresponding channel estimation method to perform channel estimation of the control channel.
需要说明的是,本实施例并不限定该信令的具体形式,也不限定该信令中所包含的指示信息的具体形式,本领域技术人员可以根据需要自行设计。优选地,上述实施例中的信令可以为高层半静态信令或者物理层动态信令。It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the specific form of the signaling, nor does it limit the specific form of the indication information included in the signaling, and those skilled in the art can design it as needed. Preferably, the signaling in the foregoing embodiments may be high-level semi-static signaling or physical-layer dynamic signaling.
对于该信令采用物理层动态信令的情况来说,由于物理层动态信令在可以在每一帧中传输,因此,在该物理层动态信令中可以较为及时准确地指示相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2。如果指示接收端该RBpair中的相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数大于2,则接收端设备即可联合控制信道和数据信道所在的RB pair上接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,例如采用上述图2所示的第5、6、12和13个符号进行控制信道的信道估计;若物理层动态信令中指示接收端该RB pair中的相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数小于等于2,因此,接收端设备可以联合RB pair中控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,例如采用上述图2所示的第5个和第6个符号进行控制信道的信道估计。For the case where the physical layer dynamic signaling is used for the signaling, since the physical layer dynamic signaling can be transmitted in each frame, the same pilot can be indicated in the physical layer dynamic signaling in a timely and accurate manner. Whether the number of layers of pilot symbols on the time-frequency resource is greater than 2. If the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RBpair indicated at the receiving end is greater than 2, the receiving end device can control the pilot symbols received on the RB pair where the control channel and data channel are located. Channel estimation of the channel, for example, using the 5th, 6th, 12th and 13th symbols shown in Figure 2 above to perform channel estimation of the control channel; if the same pilot frequency in the RB pair at the receiving end is indicated in the dynamic signaling of the physical layer The number of layers of pilot symbols on the frequency resource is less than or equal to 2. Therefore, the receiving end device can combine the pilot symbols received by the resource block where the control channel is located in the RB pair to perform channel estimation of the control channel. Channel estimation of the control channel is performed on the 5th and 6th symbols.
对于该信令采用高层半静态信令的情况来说,由于高层半静态信令的发送周期较长,因此该高层半静态信令不一定会准确地指示每一帧中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数,因此,该高层半静态信令中指示的是相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数的范围,例如最大层数,接收端设备在接收到这样的高层半静态信令后可以确定,在该高层半静态信令的到达时间到下一个高层半静态信令的到达时间之间,相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数都不会超过该高层半静态信令中所指示的最大层数。例如,高层半静态信令的值为0或1。当其值为0时,表示相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数小于等于2;当其值为1时,表示相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数最大值大于2,即相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数可能大于2,也可能小于等于2,反之亦然。如果高层半静态信令指示相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数小于等于2,则可以联合控制信道所在的资源块上的导频符号进行信道估计;在LTE中,可以联合控制信道和数据信道所在的RB pair上的第5,6个符号上的导频符号进行信道估计。如果高层半静态信令指示相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数最大值大于2,则可以联合控制信道所在的资源块上的导频符号和数据信道所在的资源块上的导频符号进行信道估计;在LTE中,可以联合控制信道和数据信道所在的RB pair上的第5,6,12,13个符号上的导频符号进行信道估计。For the case where the high-level semi-static signaling is used for the signaling, since the high-level semi-static signaling has a long sending period, the high-level semi-static signaling may not accurately indicate the same pilot time-frequency in each frame. The number of layers of pilot symbols on the resource, therefore, the high-level semi-static signaling indicates the range of the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource, such as the maximum number of layers, the receiving end device is receiving After receiving such high-level semi-static signaling, it can be determined that between the arrival time of this high-level semi-static signaling and the arrival time of the next high-level semi-static signaling, the layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource The number will not exceed the maximum number of layers indicated in the upper layer semi-static signaling. For example, the value of the upper layer semi-static signaling is 0 or 1. When its value is 0, it means that the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource is less than or equal to 2; when its value is 1, it means that the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource The maximum value is greater than 2, that is, the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource may be greater than 2, or may be less than or equal to 2, and vice versa. If the high-level semi-static signaling indicates that the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource is less than or equal to 2, the pilot symbols on the resource block where the control channel is located can be combined for channel estimation; in LTE, the The pilot symbols on the 5th and 6th symbols on the RB pair where the control channel and data channel are located are used for channel estimation. If the high-level semi-static signaling indicates that the maximum number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource is greater than 2, the pilot symbols on the resource block where the control channel is located and the pilot symbols on the resource block where the data channel is located can be combined. The pilot symbols are used for channel estimation; in LTE, the pilot symbols on the 5th, 6th, 12th, and 13th symbols on the RB pair where the control channel and data channel are located can be used for channel estimation.
关于上述高层半静态信令和物理层动态信令来说,本领域技术人员可以采用现有的高层半静态信令和物理层动态信令来实现,此处不再赘述。With regard to the above-mentioned high-level semi-static signaling and physical layer dynamic signaling, those skilled in the art can use existing high-level semi-static signaling and physical layer dynamic signaling to implement, and details will not be repeated here.
本发明上述实施例针对控制信道和数据信道共用同一个RB pair的情况,接收端设备在进行RB pair中的控制信道的信道估计之前,可以接收发送端设备发送的信令,通过该信令中包含的资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2的指示信息,接收端设备可以采用对应的信道估计方式进行控制信道的信道估计,从而能够正确地估计出实际信道,进而保证控制信道的正确解调。The above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention aim at the situation that the control channel and the data channel share the same RB pair, the receiving end device can receive the signaling sent by the sending end device before performing the channel estimation of the control channel in the RB pair, and through the signaling Indicates whether the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource contained in the resource block pair is greater than 2. The receiving end device can use the corresponding channel estimation method to perform channel estimation of the control channel, so that it can correctly estimate out of the actual channel, thereby ensuring the correct demodulation of the control channel.
为了解决上述接收端设备无法正确估计出实际信道,从而无法进行控制信道的解调的问题,本发明实施例还提供了下述解决方案。In order to solve the above problem that the receiving end device cannot correctly estimate the actual channel and thus cannot demodulate the control channel, the embodiments of the present invention also provide the following solutions.
图4为本发明信道估计方法实施例三的流程图,如图4所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:FIG. 4 is a flowchart of
步骤401、在一个资源块对上接收发送端设备发送的数据,其中,控制信道和数据信道共用所述资源块对;
步骤402、采用在所述资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号的方式进行所述控制信道的信道估计。Step 402: Perform channel estimation of the control channel in a manner that there are more than 2 layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the resource block pair.
本实施例的方法同样可以针对图2所示RB pair的结构,其中X-PDCCH和PDSCH共用一个RB pair上传输。本实施例的方法相对于图1所示信道估计方法实施例一和实施例二的方案来说,实现更为简单。本实施例的方法中,不管RB pair中相同时频资源上共叠加了几层DMRS,接收端设备均固定地采用在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号的方式进行控制信道的信道估计,具体来说,本实施例中,接收端可以联合控制信道和数据信道所在的RB pair上接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,从而不会出现无法估计出实际信道的情况。The method in this embodiment can also be directed to the structure of the RB pair shown in FIG. 2 , where the X-PDCCH and the PDSCH share one RB pair for transmission. Compared with the solutions in
本实施例中针对控制信道和数据信道共用同一个RB pair的情况,接收端设备在进行RB pair中的控制信道的信道估计时,固定地采用在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有大于2层导频符号的方式进行控制信道的信道估计,从而能够正确地估计出实际信道,进而保证控制信道的正确解调,解决方法简单可靠,有效降低终端复杂度。In this embodiment, for the situation that the control channel and the data channel share the same RB pair, when the receiving end device performs channel estimation of the control channel in the RB pair, it fixedly uses the same pilot time-frequency resources in the RB pair. The channel estimation of the control channel is carried out with more than 2 layers of pilot symbols, so that the actual channel can be correctly estimated, and then the correct demodulation of the control channel can be ensured. The solution is simple and reliable, and effectively reduces the complexity of the terminal.
为了解决上述接收端设备无法估计出实际信道,从而无法进行控制信道的解调的问题,本发明实施例还提供了下述解决方案。In order to solve the above-mentioned problem that the receiver device cannot estimate the actual channel and thus cannot demodulate the control channel, the embodiments of the present invention also provide the following solutions.
在一个数据发送方法实施例中,发送端设备可以向接收端设备发送信令,所述信令中包含资源块对中相同的导频时频资源上的导频符号的层数是否大于2的指示信息,其中,控制信道和数据信道共用所述资源块对,以使所述接收端设备根据所述指示信息,进行所述控制信道的信道估计。In an embodiment of the data sending method, the sending end device may send signaling to the receiving end device, the signaling includes whether the number of layers of pilot symbols on the same pilot time-frequency resource in the resource block pair is greater than 2 Indication information, wherein the resource block pair is shared by the control channel and the data channel, so that the receiving end device performs channel estimation of the control channel according to the indication information.
具体来说,本实施例中发送端设备可以向接收端设备发送包含所述指示信息的高层半静态信令或物理层动态信令。本实施例的数据发送方法是与图3所示的信道估计方法对应的发送端设备所执行的方法,其实现原理类似,此处不再赘述。Specifically, in this embodiment, the sending end device may send high-layer semi-static signaling or physical layer dynamic signaling including the indication information to the receiving end device. The data sending method in this embodiment is a method executed by the sending end device corresponding to the channel estimation method shown in FIG. 3 , and its implementation principle is similar, so it will not be repeated here.
图5为本发明数据发送方法实施例的流程图,如图5所示,本实施例的方法可以包括:FIG. 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the data sending method of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method of this embodiment may include:
步骤501、确定待发送的数据信道所需要传输的数据的层数N是否大于4,1≤N≤8;Step 501, determine whether the layer number N of the data to be transmitted by the data channel to be transmitted is greater than 4, 1≤N≤8;
步骤502、若是,则在一个资源块对上发送M层数据和对应的M组导频符号,其中,1≤M≤4,所述M层数据指所述N层数据内对应同一个码字的M个数据层的数据,所述M组导频符号在相同的导频时频资源上的层数小于等于2层,所述资源块对指所述数据信道和所述控制信道共用的资源块对。
具体来说,本实施例可以针对发送端设备发送数据的方法进行优化,本实施例中所采用的RB pair仍然可以参照图2所示的结构。发送端设备在发送下行数据之前,可以确定待发送的PDSCH的传输层数N是否大于4,如果N大于4,则说明,在相同时频资源上叠加的DMRS层数大于2层,则接收端设备需要联合控制信道和数据信道所在的RB pair上接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,而如果N小于等于4,则说明,在相同时频资源上叠加的DMRS层数小于等于2层,则接收端设备仅需要联合RB pair中控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计。Specifically, this embodiment can optimize the method for sending data by the sender device, and the RB pair used in this embodiment can still refer to the structure shown in FIG. 2 . Before sending downlink data, the sending end device can determine whether the number of transmission layers N of the PDSCH to be sent is greater than 4. If N is greater than 4, it means that the number of DMRS layers superimposed on the same time-frequency resource is greater than 2 layers, and the receiving end The device needs to combine the pilot symbols received on the RB pair where the control channel and data channel are located to perform channel estimation of the control channel, and if N is less than or equal to 4, it means that the number of DMRS layers superimposed on the same time-frequency resource is less than or equal to 2 layers , then the receiver device only needs to combine the pilot symbols received by the resource block where the control channel is located in the RB pair to perform channel estimation of the control channel.
为了降低接收端设备的复杂度,且避免出现接收端设备对导频采用的信道估计方式模糊的问题,发送端设备可以在N大于4时,在控制信道和数据信道共用的RB-pair上,将待发送的数据信道上的数据进行拆分,只发送M层,即只发送M层数据和与该M层数据对应的M层导频符号。In order to reduce the complexity of the receiver device and avoid the ambiguity of the channel estimation method used by the receiver device for the pilot, the sender device can use the RB-pair shared by the control channel and the data channel when N is greater than 4. The data on the data channel to be sent is split, and only the M layer is sent, that is, only the M layer data and the M layer pilot symbols corresponding to the M layer data are sent.
上述M层数据可以对应第一个码字,也可以对应第二个码字。本实施例中,发送端设备在发送数据时,可以在一个RB pair上发送第一个码字的M个数据层的数据和对应的M层DMRS。由于在传输下行数据时可以采用多个RB pair,而其中只有一或几个RB pair上可能存在控制信道和数据信道共用的情况,因此,本实施例可以只针对这一个存在控制信道和数据信道共用的情况的RB pair进行处理,而对于其它RB pair来说,其仍然可以正常发送N层数据。The above M layer data may correspond to the first codeword, or may correspond to the second codeword. In this embodiment, when sending data, the sending end device can send the data of M data layers and the corresponding M layer DMRS of the first codeword on one RB pair. Since multiple RB pairs can be used when transmitting downlink data, and only one or several RB pairs may share the control channel and data channel, this embodiment can only focus on this one. The RB pair in the shared situation is processed, and for other RB pairs, it can still send N-layer data normally.
需要说明的是,如果步骤501确定待发送的数据信道所需要传输的数据的层数N小于等于4,则接收端设备既可以采用联合RB pair中控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计的方式,也可以采用联合联合控制信道和数据信道所在RB pair上接收的导频符号进行所述控制信道的信道估计。It should be noted that if step 501 determines that the number of layers N of the data to be transmitted by the data channel to be transmitted is less than or equal to 4, then the receiving end device can use the pilot symbol received by the resource block where the control channel in the joint RB pair is located. In the manner of channel estimation of the control channel, the channel estimation of the control channel may also be performed by using pilot symbols received on the RB pair where the joint control channel and the data channel are located.
另外需要说明的是,上述方法实施例均仅以控制信道和数据信道在同一个RB pair上传输为例进行说明,但是,本实施例并不局限与RB pair这一种资源形式,本领域技术人员可以理解的是,只要是控制信道和数据信道需要采用相同的导频信号进行信道估计的资源都可以采用上述方法实施例的技术方案实现。In addition, it should be noted that the above-mentioned method embodiments are only described by taking the transmission of the control channel and the data channel on the same RB pair as an example. However, this embodiment is not limited to the resource form of the RB pair. People can understand that, as long as the control channel and the data channel need to use the same pilot signal for channel estimation resources, the technical solution of the above method embodiment can be used to realize.
本实施例中,在控制信道和数据信道共用的RB pair上,发送端设备发送给接收端设备的下行数据的最大层数为4,即最多有2层导频符号共用相同的时频资源。因此,对于接收端设备来说,可以默认采用在RB pair中相同的导频时频资源上有小于等于2层导频符号的方式进行控制信道的信道估计,具体来说,接收端设备可以联合RB pair中控制信道所在的资源块接收的导频符号进行控制信道的信道估计,从而避免出现接收端设备无法对控制信道进行正确解调的情况。In this embodiment, on the RB pair shared by the control channel and the data channel, the maximum number of layers of downlink data sent by the sending device to the receiving device is 4, that is, at most 2 layers of pilot symbols share the same time-frequency resource. Therefore, for the receiving end device, the channel estimation of the control channel can be performed by default using the same pilot time-frequency resource in the RB pair with less than or equal to 2 layers of pilot symbols. Specifically, the receiving end device can jointly The pilot symbol received by the resource block where the control channel is located in the RB pair is used for channel estimation of the control channel, so as to avoid the situation that the receiving end device cannot correctly demodulate the control channel.
