Description

CQI determination method, user equipment and base station

Technical field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a CQI determining method, a user equipment, and a base station.

Background technique

In order to improve the frequency utilization efficiency of the LTE (Long Term Evolution) network, when the LTE network is deployed, the neighboring cells are usually configured to be the same frequency band, but the neighboring cells use the same frequency band to make the neighboring cells Interference occurs between them, so that the throughput of user equipment located at the edge of the neighboring cell drops sharply. With the rapid growth of the number of user equipment in commercial LTE networks, inter-cell interference becomes more and more serious and becomes a decisive factor affecting the network capacity of the system.

The CoMP (Coordinated Multipoint Transmission) technology can further improve the throughput, frequency utilization efficiency, and capacity of the entire LTE network of neighboring cell edge UEs in the LTE network. The CoMP technology is based on the sharing of the channel state information (CSI, channel state information) and the user data information of each coordinated base station, and the interference of the neighboring cell is converted into useful information through the cooperation of the inter-cell base stations, and the core of the CoMP technology. The idea is to simultaneously serve one UE or multiple UEs through multiple transmission points with spatial location adjacency, thereby dynamically cooperating between multiple geographically separated base stations, reducing inter-cell interference and improving cell edge UE throughput. And system throughput.

The CoMP technology includes downlink transmission CoMP and uplink reception CoMP. The downlink transmission CoMP mainly includes JT (Joint Transmission), cooperative scheduling, CS/CB (Coordinated Scheduling and Beamforming), and DPS/DPB (Dynamic). Dynamic Point Selection/Dynamic Point Blanking), where JT is divided into coherent JT and non-coherent JT. Uplink CoMP technologies include Joint Reception (JR, Joint Reception), CS, and DPS/DPB.

CoMP technology is mainly focused on outdoor deployment scenarios, and indoor deployment scenarios have not yet been applied. The amount of scene data traffic for indoor deployment is usually very large, and the RF isolation between cooperative base stations is usually very poor. There are many large-scale indoor deployment scenarios, such as stations, airports, stadiums, supermarkets, and office buildings. The interference between different cooperative base stations in the above indoor deployment scenario may result in a very poor Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio (SINR) value.

The base station can select an appropriate resource for the UE by using a CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) value that is fed back by the UE, and modulate the coding mode and the transmission mode, so as to reduce interference between different coordinated base stations, and improve the information. Dry-to-noise ratio, in the prior art, the UE usually utilizes NZP (Non-zero Power) CSI-RS (Channel State Information Reference Signal, Channel State) Information-Reference Signal measures CSI (Channel State Information) and measures interference information using IMR (Interference Measurement Resource). The UE calculates and quantizes the measured CSI and the interference information into a PMI (Recoding Matrix Indicator), a Rank Indication (RI), and a CQI, and feeds back to the base station to which the coordinated cell belongs, so that the serving cell belongs to The base station selects an appropriate resource according to the CQI value fed back by the UE side.

However, due to the configuration limitation of the existing CoMP technology, one CSI-RS resource and one CSI-IM resource of the same CSI process are all configured in one subframe, so the UE only has a small amount of interference hypothesis when measuring interference information. For example, when the number of cells in the collaboration set is three, the above configuration can only report four possible CQIs at the same time. The UE will obtain different CQI values due to different interference assumptions. When the coordinated cell has interference information of any coordinated cell, the IMR is configured for the any coordinated cell, and the coordinated cell does not send data on the IMR, and the remaining coordinated cells send data on the IMR, but when the number of coordinated cells is large In this case, it is difficult to meet the requirements, and the above-mentioned large-scale indoor deployment scenario cannot be well solved. At the same time, when there are many coordinated cells, different interference assumptions lead to a large increase in the overhead of interference measurement resources.

Summary of the invention

The embodiment of the present invention provides a CQI determining method, a user equipment, and a base station, which are used to solve the problem that the overhead of using the IMR measurement interference increases greatly as the coordinated cell increases in the prior art when the number of coordinated cells is large.

detailed description

An application scenario is shown in FIG. 1a, in which N coordinated cells (cooperative cell 1, coordinated cell 2, and coordinated cell 3, ... coordinated cell N) form a collaboration set, where the collaboration set It refers to a set of multiple cells that directly or indirectly participate in the user data transmission at the same time, and the cell in the cooperation set includes a serving cell and a plurality of coordinated cells participating in cooperation. The plurality of cooperative cells participating in the cooperation and the serving cell perform information exchange by using a scheduler, for example, the serving cell acquires, by using a scheduler, indication information that each coordinated cell sends to the user equipment, and uses a scheduler to each coordinated cell. The base stations to which they belong respectively transmit the CSI and CQI measured by the user equipment. Each coordinated cell in the cooperative set serves the UE in the Comp mode.

In the prior art, when a serving cell sends a CSI request, both the CSI-RS resource and the CSI-IM resource of the same CSI process are configured in one subframe. The UE uses Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) to measure channel state information (CSI), and uses CSI-IM (interference measurement). Resources) Measure interference information. The UE calculates and quantizes the channel information and the interference information into a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), a Rank Indication (CRI), and a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI), and feeds back to the serving cell. . When the user equipment needs to measure the CQI, the base station configures one channel state information interference measurement CSI-IM resource for each coordinated cell, and measures the interference information of other coordinated cells to one coordinated cell, the first cell is configured as IMR, and the other cells send data.

Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1b, when the UE measures the CQI of each coordinated cell, the base station must configure one channel state information interference measurement CSI-IM resource for each coordinated cell, when there are three coordinated cells in the cooperation set. The three coordinated cells have 12 types of CSI-IM resources in the CoMP scenario. However, when the number of coordinated cells is relatively large, the same coordinated cell may receive different interference information under different CSI-IM resources, because when the coordinated cell When the number is N, there are a total of N·2 ^N-1 CSI-IM resources. Therefore, the overhead of measuring interference information using CSI-IM resources increases greatly as the number of coordinated cells increases. The embodiment of the present invention obtains the channel state information reference signal CSI-RS resource of each coordinated cell in the cooperation set. As shown in FIG. 1c, each coordinated cell is calculated according to the CSI-RS resources precoded by each coordinated cell. At least one interference information under the CSI-IM resource; determining, according to interference information of each coordinated cell under at least one of the CSI-IM resources and downlink channel information of each coordinated cell, that each coordinated cell is at least A channel quality indicator CQI under each of the CSI-IM resources in the CSI-IM resource. In this way, the interference information is calculated by multiplexing the CSI-RS resources, so that the overhead of the CSI-RS does not increase with the increase of the interference assumption.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The first indication information includes at least one interference combination, where the interference combination includes a CSI-IM resource configured by any one of the coordinated cells in the coordinated set and a CSI-IM resource configured by at least one coordinated cell configured in the coordinated set. .

Wherein the specific embodiments of the present invention the interference quantity combinations not limited and may be selected according to the required settings, in general, since the number of combinations may cooperate interference by the number of cells within the cooperating set according to the formula ^N · 2 ^{N- 1} determines that the combination between the CSI-IM resources of one coordinated cell configuration indicated in each interference combination and the CSI-IM resources of another coordinated cell configuration can be set as needed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the specific coordinated cells in the cooperation set is not limited, and the number of the coordinated cells may be three or three or more, which is not limited by the implementation of the present invention.

Exemplarily, there are three coordinated cells in the collaboration set, namely, Cell1, Cell2, and Cell3. The CSI-IM resources configured by Cell1 are respectively CSI-IM1-1, CSI-IM1-2, and CSI-IM1- The number of CSI-IM resources configured by CSI-IM2-1, CSI-IM2-2, CSI-IM2-3, and Cell3 is CSI-IM3-1 and CSI- respectively. IM3-2, CSI-IM3-3, in this way, the interference combination includes 12 possible cases, which are not listed in detail in the embodiment of the present invention. Illustratively, if the interference information of the remaining coordinated cells to Cell1 is obtained, the The interference combination can be: CSI-IM1-1 and CSI-IM1-2, CSI-IM1-2 and CSI-IM1-3, CSI-IM1-1 and CSI-IM1-3, and CSI-IM1-1, CSI-IM1 -2, CSI-IM1-3.

The user equipment in S402 can obtain the channel state information reference signal CSI-RS resource of each coordinated cell in the cooperation set by using a high-level signaling configuration of the coordinated cell, for example, RRC (Radio Resource Control) signaling.

Specifically, the UE sends a signal to the base station through the uplink, where the signal is a carrier for transmitting various types of information including data, commands, and messages, and the UE receives the signal sent by the base station through the downlink.

In a possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, the CSI-RS resource in the embodiment of the present invention uses the pre-coded CSI-RS resource, and the pre-coded CSI-RS resource and the coordinated cell are in the next scheduling. The beam direction of the periodic transmission data is the same.

For example, the embodiment of the present invention only uses the third coordinated cell as an example to describe how to obtain the pre-coded CSI-RS resources of each coordinated cell by using CSI-RS resources.

Specifically, the UE acquires time-frequency resources occupied by the CSI-RS pre-configured by the current scheduling period of the third coordinated cell;

2. The user equipment receives, on the time-frequency resource, a first reference signal that is sent by the base station to which the third coordinated cell belongs, where the first reference signal is a CSI-RS that is pre-configured in a current scheduling period of the third coordinated cell. a signal after passing through the channel of the third coordinated cell;

The user equipment acquires the CSI of the third coordinated cell according to the first reference signal, where the CSI of the third coordinated cell includes a first precoding matrix PMI and a rank indication RI of the third coordinated cell. .

4. The user equipment sends the CSI of the third coordinated cell to the base station;

5. The base station obtains a matrix PMI1 that is closest to the PMI channel matrix of the third coordinated cell from the codebook prestored in the database according to the PMI of the third coordinated cell; performs SVD decomposition on the channel matrix H1, and determines according to the feature value. RI1;

6. Performing beamforming on the CSI-RS according to the precoding matrix PMI1 and using the same precoding matrix as the data, and acquiring the CSI-RS precoded by the third coordinated cell.

Since the CQI measured by the current scheduling period in the prior art is measured based on the PMI of the current scheduling period, and the accurate CQI should be based on the PMI of the next scheduling period, the UE measures the channel state information CSI through the CSI-RS resource and provides the serving cell to the serving cell. The PMI is fed back, and the serving cell will use the PMI to pre-code the CSI-RS resources and send them in the same beam direction. In this embodiment of the present invention, the pre-coded CSI-RS is used in the same beam direction as the data. Interference information is calculated using CSI-RS resources such that the overhead of CSI-RS does not increase with the increase of interference assumptions. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention uses pre-coded CSI-RS resources, which can further improve the measurement accuracy of the CQI.

Optionally, the method and the principle of the interference information of the at least one type of the CSI-IM resources of each coordinated cell of the UE in the cooperation set are the same. The description does not have any indicative meaning. For example, the S405 can be specifically implemented by:

S4051: Calculate, according to the CSI-RS resource configured by the first coordinated cell, the remaining coordinated cells except the first coordinated cell in the collaboration set, and the first Interference power of the coordinated cell;

The S4051 can be specifically implemented by the following steps:

S40511: Determine, according to downlink channel information of each coordinated cell and CSI-RS resources sent by each coordinated cell, reference signal power of each coordinated cell.

Exemplarily, the formula I _i =|H _i ·X _i | ² can be obtained, where I _i is the reference signal power of the i-th coordinated cell.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the reference signal power of each coordinated cell is determined as the interference power of the remaining coordinated cells in the coordinated set when the coordinated cell transmits data. For example, I ₁ can be regarded as interference power to cell 2 and cell 3 when cell 1 transmits data.

S40512. Determine, according to any combination of the reference signal power of each coordinated cell and the at least one CSI-IM resource indicated by the at least one interference combination, the coordinated set received by each coordinated cell except the coordinated cell. The interference power of the remaining coordinated cells to the coordinated cell.

Exemplarily, as shown in the scenario of FIG. 5a, when there are 3 coordinated cells in the cooperation set, the interference assumption in the implementation of the present invention includes 12 examples as shown in Table 1. If the reference signal powers of the coordinated cell 1, the coordinated cell 2, and the coordinated cell 3 are I ₁ , I _{2 ,} and I ₃ , respectively, the configuration of each coordinated cell is as shown in FIG. 5b.

It should be noted that the CSI-IM configured by one coordinated cell is used to measure the CSI of the coordinated cell in other coordinated cells. The CSI-IM resources in Cell1 in FIG. 5b are ZP CSI-RSs configured for measuring Cell2 cell CSI and ZP (Zero Power) CSI-RSs configured for measuring Cell3 cell CSI. Therefore, the interference combination in the Cell1 may be a ZP CSI-RS configured to measure a Cell2 cell CSI, or may be a ZP CSI-RS configured to measure a Cell3 cell CSI, or may be used to measure a Cell2 cell CSI. The configured ZP CSI-RS and the ZP CSI-RS configured to measure the Cell3 cell CSI. The reference power of the ZP CSI-RS configured for measuring the CSI configured in each coordinated cell may be used as the interference power of the coordinated cell to other coordinated cells when the other cells transmit data.

Table 1 Examples of DPS/DPB interference assumptions for three coordinated cells

When the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 1 shown in Table 1, the interference power of the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 for the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₂ +I ₃ ; when the CSI-IM resource is Table 1 When the interference assumption 2 is shown, the interference power of the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 to the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₂ ; when the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 3 shown in Table 1, the coordinated cell 2 and the interference power of the coordinated cell 3 to the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₃ .

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the CSI-IM information configured by one coordinated cell is a DPB, it is determined that the interference power of the coordinated cell to the remaining first coordinated cells in the coordinated set is 0. The interference power of the remaining coordinated cells in the coordinated set received by each coordinated cell to the coordinated cell under the combination of 12 different interference hypotheses can be obtained in the above manner.

S4052. Calculate interference power of the other cell other than the cooperation set to the first coordinated cell.

When the interference information received by each coordinated cell is calculated, there may be interference caused by other cells except the cooperation set to any one of the cells in the cooperation set. In the embodiment of the present invention, the other cell pairs other than the cooperation set are specifically acquired in S4052. The manner of the interference power of the first coordinated cell is not limited.

S4052 in the embodiment of the present invention may be specifically implemented in the following manner:

S40521: The downlink channel information of the first coordinated cell, the CSI-RS resource sent by the first coordinated cell on the first time-frequency resource, and the first received by the user equipment on the first time-frequency resource And determining, by the reference signal, interference information of the other cell other than the cooperation set to the first coordinated cell.

Exemplarily, the interference caused by the remaining serving cells except the cooperation set received by each coordinated cell may be calculated by the formula I _out =|Y _i '-H _i ·X _i | ² , where Y _i ' is in the first CSI-RS resources received on the first time-frequency resource of the i coordinated cells, where X _i represents the CSI-RS resources transmitted on the first time-frequency resource of the i-th coordinated cell. It should be noted that when a base station sends a CSI-RS resource on a time-frequency resource, the user equipment receives the CSI-RS resource on the same time-frequency resource.

S4053. Interference power of the coordinated cells in the cooperation set to the first coordinated cell by using at least one of the interference combinations, and other than the collaboration set. The sum of the interference powers of the cells to the first coordinated cell is determined as the interference information of the first coordinated cell under the at least one interference combination.

Exemplarily, when the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 1 shown in Table 1, the interference power of the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 to the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₂ +I ₃ , then the coordinated cell 1 The interference information when the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 1 shown in Table 1 is: P=P1+I _out , where P1=I ₂ +I ₃ , and I _out is the cooperation other than the cooperation set received by the coordinated cell 1 Interference power of the cell;

When the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 2 shown in Table 1, the interference power of the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 to the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₂ ; then the coordinated cell 1 is in the CSI-IM resource table. The interference information when the interference hypothesis 2 shown in 1 is: P=P1+I _out , where P1=I ₂ , I _out is the interference power of the remaining coordinated cells outside the cooperative set received by the coordinated cell 1;

When the CSI-IM resource is the interference hypothesis 3 shown in Table 1, the interference power of the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 to the coordinated cell 1 is P1=I ₃ ; then the coordinated cell 1 is in the CSI-IM resource table. The interference information at the interference hypothesis 3 shown in 1 is: P = P1 + I _out , where P1 = I ₃ , and I _out is the interference power of the remaining coordinated cells outside the cooperative set received by the coordinated cell 1.

In an implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 6, the method further includes S407:

S407. Determine downlink channel information of each coordinated cell according to CSI-RS resources of each coordinated cell.

The method for determining the downlink channel information of each coordinated cell according to the CSI-RS resources of each coordinated cell is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

每个协作小区的下行信道信息，其中，X_i和Y_i分别为第i个协作小区在第一时频资源上发送的CSI-RS资源和在第一时频资源上接收到的CSI-RS资源，H_i为第i个协作小区发送所述CSI-RS资源时所述CSI-RS资源经历的信道信息。其中，第一时频资源为所述协作小区中的任意一个时频资源。Illustrative, can pass the formula

Downlink channel information of each coordinated cell, where X _i and Y _i are CSI-RS resources transmitted by the i-th coordinated cell on the first time-frequency resource and CSI-RS received on the first time-frequency resource, respectively The resource, H _i is channel information experienced by the CSI-RS resource when the CSI-RS resource is sent by the i th cooperative cell. The first time-frequency resource is any one of the coordinated cells.

When the downlink channel information of a coordinated cell in the coordinated set is calculated, the coordinated cell is configured as an NZP (Non-zero Power) CSI-RS resource on the first time-frequency resource, and the remaining coordinated cells in the coordinated set are in the first The ZP (Zero Power) CSI-RS resource is configured on the one-time frequency resource. Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 5a, the coordinated cell 1 is configured as an NZP CSI-RS resource on a time-frequency resource, and ZP CSI is configured on the same time-frequency resource that the coordinated cell 2 and the coordinated cell 3 are in the same time resource as the coordinated cell 1 -RS resources. The manner of calculating the downlink channel information of each coordinated cell is the same as that of the first coordinated cell, and details are not described herein again.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the calculation of the downlink channel information of each coordinated cell may pass the pre-coded CSI-RS resource and may also pass the CSI-RS resource. Preferably, the embodiment of the present invention may pass the CSI-RS resource. Calculating downlink channel information of each coordinated cell, and then acquiring reference signal power of each coordinated cell and a serving cell pair outside the coordinated set according to downlink channel information of each coordinated cell calculated by the precoded CSI-RS resource The interference power of any coordinated cell in the cooperation set can improve the measurement accuracy of the CQI.

In another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIG. 7, the method further includes: S408-S411:

S408. The base station sends, by using the serving cell, the power of the data sent by the next scheduling period to each coordinated cell in the cooperation set.

S409. The user equipment acquires, according to the power that each coordinated cell in the collaboration set sends data in a next scheduling period.

The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the manner in which the user equipment in the S409 obtains the power of the data sent by the coordinated cell in the next scheduling period, and may be the base station to which the user equipment belongs from each coordinated cell. The local base station to which each coordinated cell belongs is directly sent to the user equipment through the serving cell.

S410: If it is determined that there is a power difference between the power of the fourth coordinated cell transmitting data in the next scheduling period and the reference signal power of the fourth coordinated cell, adjusting the reference signal power of the fourth coordinated cell;

S411. Determine, according to the adjusted reference signal power of the fourth coordinated cell, the fourth coordinated cell. Interference power for the remaining coordinated cells except the fourth coordinated cell in the cooperation set.

Exemplary, if there is a power reference signal power cooperative cell 1 I ₁ and the cooperative cell 1 transmits data in the next scheduling cycle I ₁ 'power difference is present, acquiring the power difference I = I ₁ -I _1', and according to The power difference adjusts the reference signal power I _{1 of} the coordinated cell ₁ .

In this implementation manner, when the CQI is calculated, the power of data transmitted by each coordinated cell in the next scheduling period is used as the reference signal power of the coordinated cell, and the measurement accuracy of the CQI can be improved.

The embodiment of the present invention does not limit the form of the first indication information, and the first indication message may be sent by the base station of the serving cell after the user equipment sends a request to the serving cell, or may be when the coordinated cell sends a CSI request. The base station directly transmits through the serving cell.

In still another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, the method further includes:

S412. A base station is configured as a first CSI-RS resource configured by each coordinated cell in a coordinated set. The first CSI-RS resource includes a CSI-RS signal pre-configured in a current scheduling period of each coordinated cell, where different coordinated cells are used. The current scheduling period pre-configured CSI-RS is configured in different CSI processes;

S413. Acquire a first CSI-RS resource configured by each coordinated cell in the collaboration set.

S414, measuring channel state information CSI of each coordinated cell according to the first CSI-RS resource; a CSI of one coordinated cell includes a precoding matrix PMI and a rank indication RI of the coordinated cell;

S415. Send, to the serving cell in the collaboration set, channel state information CSI of each of the coordinated cells.

S415-1. The base station to which each coordinated cell in the coordinated set belongs respectively acquires a pre-coded CSI-RS of each coordinated cell according to channel state information of each coordinated cell, where the pre-coded CSI-RS The beam direction of the data transmitted by the coordinated cell in the next scheduling period is consistent.

In this implementation, when calculating the CQI, it is based on the CSI-RS resource of the next scheduling period, which can improve the accuracy of measuring the CQI.

In another possible implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, the method further includes step S416:

S416. Receive second indication information that is sent by the serving cell in the collaboration set, where the second indication information includes a number of each CSI-IM resource, where the second indication information is used to indicate that CSI-IM resources with the same number are to be used. The signal power on at least one of the resource elements RE is averaged as the power of the CSI-IM resource.

In this implementation manner, since one CSI-IM resource includes at least one resource element RE, the resource elements RE belonging to the same CSI-IM resource have the same identifier, and the identifiers of the resource elements RE belonging to different CSI-IM resources are different. However, since each CSI-IM resource corresponds to one number, and each CSI-IM resource includes multiple RE units, the interference power measured by the user equipment on each RE is different, so the same numbered CSI-IM is required. The power on all REs in the resource is averaged as the power of the CSI-IM resource. This can further improve the measurement accuracy of the CQI.

The implementation of the present invention does not limit the identification form of each CSI-IM resource, and may be, for example, a number, a number, or a letter.
