Description

Method, system, base station and user equipment for determining cyclic delay diversity delay value
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a multiple-input multiple-output-orthogonal frequency division multiple access (MIMO-OFDMA) system, and in particular, to a method, a system, a base station, and a user equipment for determining a Cyclic Delay Diversity (CDD) delay value (group) in a precoding codebook when a CDD precoding technique is applied in a MIMO-OFDMA system to perform multi-user scheduling.
Background
With the wide application and continuous development of MIMO-OFDMA systems, people introduce a precoding technique based on cyclic delay diversity to further improve the performance of the systems.
The precoding technique is an effective method capable of improving system performance, and the method can reduce the complexity of a receiving end and improve the system performance by preprocessing signals at the transmitting end. Especially, when the system operates in a downlink spatial division multiplexing multiple access (SDMA) mode, joint detection between different terminals is not possible, thereby limiting the transmission capability of the system (joint detection is not required in a transmit diversity mode (TD) and a single-user Spatial Division Multiplexing (SDM) mode).
In the precoding technology, different terminals feed back channel information to a base station in real time, and the base station obtains optimal precoding processing through calculation. The precoding process may be linear or non-linear, where the non-linear precoding complexity is high. In a linear precoding system, different data streams are linearly weighted at the transmitting end and expressed as Y by a mathematical expressionNr×1=HNr×NtPNt×NsXNs×1+NNr×1Where Nr is the number of receiving antennas, Nt is the number of transmitting antennas, Ns is the number of data streams transmitted simultaneously, Y is the signal of the receiving end, H is the channel matrix, P is the precoding matrix, and X is the data stream with different Ns, which may be the data streamThe data stream of the same user may also be the data stream of different users, and N is noise. In order to realize the optimal linear precoding, the user needs to feed back the channel matrix H in real time. In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing multiple access (OFDMA) systems, the channel matrix H is fed back on each subcarrier (subcarrier)/resource block (resource block), which requires a large uplink feedback channel bandwidth, which is impractical in many practical systems, even if there are many algorithms to reduce the uplink feedback overhead. A codebook (codebook) -based precoding system is proposed in this case.
As shown in fig. 1, in a MIMO-ofdm (a) system based on codebook-based precoding, there is a pre-designed codebook at the base station, where the codebook includes a plurality of precoding matrices, each matrix includes a plurality of precoding vectors, and the matrices and vectors are pre-designed according to different channels (e.g. statistics of channels, etc.), different optimization criteria (e.g. maximizing capacity, minimizing error rate, etc.). The data streams (streams) in fig. 1 may be different data streams of the same user, or data streams of different users, the pre-coding module performs pre-coding operation on the scheduled data streams, the inverse fourier transform module performs inverse fourier transform (IFFT) on the data, and the cyclic prefix insertion module inserts Cyclic Prefixes (CP). In practical application, the terminal does not need to feed back a real-time Channel coefficient to the base station, but feeds back an index of a matrix or a vector which is most matched with a real-time Channel in a codebook to the base station, and feeds back a Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) corresponding to the matrix or the vector to the base station; after receiving the feedback information of the terminal, the base station performs multi-user scheduling according to the channel quality identifiers of different users and corresponding scheduling algorithms, and then directly uses the matrix or vector fed back by the scheduled user as a precoding coefficient of the transmitting end without recalculation.
Since quantization of channel coefficients requires several bits to achieve high quantization accuracy (e.g., 10 bits), and in a MIMO system, channels between different transmit antennas and different receive antennas all need quantization (feedback overhead per carrier is 10 × Nr × Nt), whereas in a codebook-based precoding system, only a matrix index and a vector index need to be fed back (e.g., indexes of 4 matrices only need 2 bits, and indexes of two vectors per matrix only need 1 bit), the codebook-based precoding technique can greatly reduce feedback overhead. From the performance point of view, in the codebook-based precoding, the precoding coefficients are selected from several pre-calculated coefficients, so that it cannot be guaranteed that the precoding is optimal at every moment, and in general, the performance of the codebook-based precoding technique is slightly worse than that of the optimal non-codebook precoding technique. However, this performance gap can be reduced by increasing the number of precoding coefficients in the codebook, because the more precoding coefficients in the codebook, the higher the probability of the occurrence of the coefficients matching the channel that can be selected by the user, and the better the performance of the codebook-based precoding. Meanwhile, the increase of the number of precoding systems in the codebook will also result in a corresponding increase of feedback overhead, so a suitable codebook size should be selected according to the system requirements such as performance and feedback overhead.
The basic operating principle of the precoding system is described above. There are many existing methods for the design of precoding system codebooks and are not described in detail herein.
The precoding technology combined with CDD introduces CDD on the basis of the original precoding codebook, namely the form of the codebook is changed into <math> <mrow> <msub> <mi>P</mi> <mrow> <mi>CDD</mi> <mo>-</mo> <mi>based precoding</mi> </mrow> </msub> <mo>=</mo> <mi>diag</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <msub> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;kd</mi> </mrow> <mn>1</mn> </msub> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>,</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>,</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <msub> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;kd</mi> </mrow> <mi>Nt</mi> </msub> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <msub> <mrow> <mo>&times;</mo> <mi>P</mi> </mrow> <mi>conventional</mi> </msub> <mo>.</mo> </mrow> </math> Wherein P isCDD-based precodingIs a codebook of a precoding system using the CDD technique, diag () is a diagonal matrix, k is a subcarrier index, diIs the corresponding CDD delay value on the ith transmitting antenna, Nc is the number of sub-carriers, PconventionalThe code book is designed by the traditional precoding method.

In addition, PconventionalOr a unit array, thus being equivalent to a pure CDD system.
However, the conventional codebook design method does not have a method how to design the delay value (set) of CDD, so how to determine the delay value (set) of CDD in the precoding system combined with CDD to improve the system performance becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently.

Detailed Description
The first embodiment is as follows:
in this embodiment, a receiving end, that is, a User Equipment (UE), acquires CDD delay values (sets) in its own optimal precoding codebook and feeds back the CDD delay values (sets) to a Base Station (BS), and a transmitting end, that is, the base station, selects CDD delay values (sets) in a global precoding codebook according to the CDD delay values (sets) in the optimal precoding codebook from each UE, thereby implementing adaptive update of CDD delay values (sets) in the precoding codebook, and ensuring system performance to the maximum. Global here means that the CDD delay values (groups) in the same set of precoding codebooks apply to all users. For convenience of description, the CDD delay value and the set of CDD delay values are referred to as CDD delay values. Referring to fig. 2, in a multi-user scheduling MIMO-OFDMA system including a base station and a plurality of user equipments to which a precoding technique combined with CDD is applied, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 201, the base station sends a start signal to the user equipment, and starts an updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, or the user equipment periodically and automatically starts the updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook;
step 202, in each feedback period, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot frequency information sent by the base station, respectively acquires a CDD delay value in a precoding codebook capable of obtaining optimal channel quality on each sub-band according to a channel estimation result, and feeds back the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook and the corresponding channel quality thereof to the base station;
step 203, the base station selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook by using the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook from each user equipment or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook collected in different feedback periods in the updating process and the corresponding channel quality;
step 204, the base station updates the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook according to the selected global CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, and informs each user equipment;
step 205, the system works normally under the CDD delay value in the updated precoding codebook.
When the base station does not initiate the start of updating the CDD delay value again or the timing period of the periodic automatic start of the user equipment for updating the CDD delay value does not come, the user equipment does not need to update the CDD delay value and does not need to select the global CDD delay value by the base station.
In the above process, in step 202, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot information sent by the base station, and according to the result of channel estimation, obtains the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding codebook on each subband respectively, and may adopt the following two methods:
the method comprises the following steps: through traversal search, the CDD delay values in all possible precoding codebooks are tested one by one within the possible value range of the delay value on each subband, so that the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook with the optimal channel quality (such as capacity, data rate, bit error rate and the like) obtained by the user is the optimal CDD delay value on the subband. The range of the delay value is [0, Nc-1], where Nc is the total number of subcarriers, and is periodic due to the operation of cyclic shift, so the range of the delay value can also be expressed as [ -Nc/2, Nc/2-1 ]. In a multi-user system, the value selected as the optimal CDD delay value is usually closer to 0, that is, the absolute value is smaller, so the value range of the delay value is expressed as [ -Nc/2, Nc/2-1], and thus the search range can be reduced, thereby reducing the complexity.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: and calculating to obtain the CDD delay value in the precoding code book which enables the channel quality obtained by the user to be optimal. The capacity is taken as an example to explain how to obtain the optimal CDD delay value by calculation.
And calculating the capacity obtained by the user equipment on each sub-band through a capacity calculation expression as follows:
CM(d1,…,dNt)=f(H,U,d1,…,dNt)
wherein, CMDenotes capacity on the Mth subband, H denotes channel response from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna by channel estimation, diIndicating the CDD delay value in the precoding code book corresponding to the ith transmitting antenna, and Nt indicating the number of the transmitting antennas; in a CDD-combined precoding codebook, the codebook <math> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mi>diag</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;k</mi> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mn>1</mn> </msub> </mrow> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>,</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>,</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;k</mi> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mi>Nt</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mi>U</mi> <mo>,</mo> </mrow> </math> Where Nc denotes the number of all subcarriers, the diagonal matrix is the codebook part of CDD in the precoding codebook, and U is precodingThe codebook part designed by the traditional method in the coding has different U forms under different working modes (such as a single-user diversity mode, a single-user spatial multiplexing mode and a multi-user spatial multiplexing mode). By optimizing CMThe optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook can be obtained, for example, by performing optimization calculation through the lagrangian algorithm.
The user equipment can obtain the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook ensuring the channel quality to be optimal on each sub-band by any one of the above two methods. Then, the user equipment feeds back the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding codebooks or the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding codebooks and the corresponding channel quality to the base station.
In this embodiment, the base station selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook according to the collected CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook from each user equipment or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook and the corresponding channel quality thereof, and may measure and select the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook in a variety of ways. Only two methods are listed below as examples:
the method comprises the following steps: and selecting according to the probability density distribution condition of the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding code book fed back by the user equipment in different feedback periods in the same updating process.
Suppose { d (i)UE,iSB,iInterval),iUE=1,…,NUE,iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalThe set of CDD delay values in the precoding codebook fed back by the user in different feedback periods in the same updating process, wherein iUEFor user equipment index, iSBFor subband index, iIntervalFor time domain feedback period index, NUENumber of users participating in feedback, NSBIs the number of sub-bands, NIntervalIs the number of feedback cycles in an update process. Based on this set, the base station draws { d (i) } (i)UE,iSB,iInterval),iUE=1,…,NUE,iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalThe probability density distribution function takes the Nt (number of transmitting antennas) CDD delay values corresponding to the highest probability as the CDD delay values in the global precoding codebook. The CDD delay value obtained in this way has the maximum probability of being selected as the optimal CDD delay value by different users, so that the performance gain can be provided, and the system performance is guaranteed.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: and selecting according to the probability density distribution condition of the channel quality by using the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook fed back by the user equipment in different feedback periods in the same updating process and the corresponding channel quality.
When the method is adopted, the user equipment feeds back the optimal CDD delay value to the base station and simultaneously feeds back the channel quality corresponding to the optimal CDD delay value. Here, let { d (i) }UE,iSB,iInterval),iUE=1,…,NUE,iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalSet of locally optimal CDD delay values for user feedback, { C (i } { C (i })UE,iSB,iInterval),iUE=1,…,NUE,iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalCorresponding to { d (i) } for user feedbackUE,iSB,iInterval),iUE=1,…,NUE,iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalThe CQI of.

The CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook obtained in the way can provide a larger CQI for the system with the maximum probability, thereby providing performance gain and ensuring the system performance.

In the system described in this embodiment, after the start update signal sending module in the base station sends the start signal for updating the CDD delay value to each user equipment, the start update signal receiving module in each user equipment receives the start signal and starts the CDD delay value obtaining module in the local optimal precoding codebook. At this time, the CDD delay value obtaining module in the local optimal precoding codebook respectively obtains, according to the channel estimation result output by the channel estimation submodule, a CDD delay value in the precoding codebook that enables the channel quality obtained by the user to be optimal on each sub-band, and sends the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook to the feedback information receiving module in the base station, then, the feedback information receiving module sends the received local optimal precoding codebook CDD delay value or the local optimal precoding codebook CDD delay value from each user equipment and the corresponding channel quality thereof to the probability analysis module, and the probability analysis module performs probability distribution analysis on the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding codebooks of each user equipment, and selects Nt (number of sending antennas) CDD delay values with the maximum probability. Then, the probability analysis module sends the selected Nt CDD delay values to a pre-coding codebook module combined with CDD, and the CDD delay values in the pre-coding codebook are updated.

For the method described in the embodiment of fig. 2, the method can also be implemented by using a system as shown in fig. 4, where the system is implemented by the user equipment periodically and automatically starting the CDD delay value updating process in the precoding codebook. The system described in the embodiment of fig. 4 differs from the system described in the embodiment of fig. 3 in that: in fig. 4, a timing module in the user equipment periodically generates and sends the start signal to the CDD delay value acquisition module in the local optimal precoding codebook, where the timing modules of different users may be synchronous or asynchronous. At this time, the base station does not need to be provided with a starting updating signal sending module. How to obtain the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook for the user equipment, and how to select the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook for the base station are similar to the system described in fig. 3, and other working flows of the system are also similar to the system described in fig. 3, and therefore, details are not repeated here.
Example two:
in this embodiment, the receiving end, i.e., the user equipment, acquires its own channel characteristic information, and then the transmitting end, i.e., the base station, reasonably selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook according to the collected channel characteristic information from each user equipment, so as to implement adaptive update of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, thereby ensuring the system performance to the maximum extent. Referring to fig. 5, in a multi-user scheduling MIMO-OFDMA system including a base station and a plurality of user equipments to which a precoding technique combined with CDD is applied, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 501, the base station sends a start signal to the user equipment to start an updating process of a CDD delay value in a precoding codebook, or the user equipment periodically and automatically starts the updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook;
step 502, in each feedback period, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot frequency information sent by the base station, judges channel characteristics according to a channel estimation result, and feeds back the obtained channel characteristic information to the base station;
step 503, the base station reasonably selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook by using the channel characteristic information from each user equipment collected in different feedback periods in the updating process;
step 504, the base station updates the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook according to the CDD delay value in the selected global precoding codebook, and notifies each user equipment;
and 505, the system normally works under the CDD delay value in the updated precoding codebook.
When the base station does not initiate the start of updating the CDD delay value again or the timing period of the periodic automatic start of the user equipment for updating the CDD delay value does not come, the user equipment does not need to update the CDD delay value and does not need to select the global CDD delay value by the base station.
In the above process, in step 502, the ue performs channel estimation by using pilot information sent by the base station, and determines channel characteristics according to a channel estimation result, where the channel characteristic information may include:
a direct path (LOS) and a non-direct path (NLOS), wherein the direct path is a path which can perform linear transmission due to the fact that no obstacle exists between a transmitting end and a receiving end, and therefore a relatively constant component is contained in channel response; the non-direct path means that there is an obstacle between the transmitting end and the receiving end, and thus there is no component of the straight line transmission.
Fast fading (fast fading), which means that the channel response changes rapidly in the time domain and is caused by the rapid movement of the user, and slow fading (slow fading); slow fading is that the channel response changes slowly in the time domain, and the correlation between the channel responses at adjacent times is strong, which is caused by the slow movement of the user.
Flat fading (flat fading) and frequency-selective fading (frequency-selective fading), where flat fading refers to relatively flat frequency domain response of a channel, that is, a small number of multipaths respond in a time domain of the channel; frequency selective fading refers to that the frequency domain response of a channel varies strongly with frequency, i.e., the channel response has more multipath in the time domain.
Regardless of the channel characteristic information, it can be transmitted to the base station by simple coding. And the base station reasonably selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook according to the collected channel characteristic information from each user equipment.
The CDD delay values in the appropriate precoding codebook corresponding to different channel characteristics are different, as follows:
for the direct path and the non-direct path, the channel of the direct path is suitable for using a larger CDD delay value in the precoding code book; the non-direct path is suitable for using smaller CDD delay values in the precoding codebook.
For fast fading and slow fading, a fast fading channel is suitable for using a larger CDD delay value in a precoding codebook; slow fading is suitable for using the CDD delay values in smaller precoding codebooks.
For flat fading and frequency selective fading, a flat fading channel is suitable for using a large CDD delay value in a precoding codebook; frequency selective fading is suitable for using the CDD delay values in the smaller precoding codebook.
In step 503, the base station reasonably selects the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook by using the channel characteristic information from each user equipment collected in different feedback periods in the updating process, and may adopt the following two methods:
the method comprises the following steps: the base station analyzes the probability distribution of different channel characteristics according to the channel characteristic information fed back by the user, and selects the CDD delay values in the precoding codebook according to the three relations for the channel characteristic information with the maximum probability, that is, selects Nt CDD delay values matched with the channel characteristic with the maximum probability as the CDD delay values in the global precoding codebook.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: the base station firstly judges which CDD delay value (a larger CDD delay value or a smaller CDD delay value) in the precoding code book the channel of each user is suitable for according to the channel characteristic information fed back by the user, then analyzes the probability distribution of the larger CDD delay value and the smaller CDD delay value, and selects Nt CDD delay values with the largest probability as the CDD delay values in the global precoding code book.
Referring to fig. 6, the system for initiating the CDD delay value updating operation in the precoding codebook by the base station according to the embodiment of the present invention includes: a base station, and a plurality of user equipments (only the structure of one user equipment is specifically shown in fig. 6, and other user equipments are similar and are not described again one by one).
Wherein the receiving end, i.e. each user equipment, comprises: the system comprises a receiving antenna, a baseband demodulation module with a channel estimation submodule, a channel characteristic judgment module and a start updating signal receiving module.

In the system described in this embodiment, after the start update signal sending module in the base station sends the start signal for updating the CDD delay value to each user equipment, the start update signal receiving module in each user equipment receives the start signal and starts the channel characteristic determining module. At this time, the channel characteristic determining module determines the channel characteristic information of the user according to the channel estimation result output by the channel estimation submodule, and sends the obtained channel characteristic information to the feedback information receiving module in the base station, then the feedback information receiving module sends the received channel characteristic information from each user equipment to the probability analysis module, the probability analysis module performs probability distribution analysis on the channel characteristic of each user equipment, and selects Nt (number of sending antennas) CDD delay values matched with the channel characteristic with the maximum probability. Then, the probability analysis module sends the selected Nt CDD delay values to a pre-coding codebook module combined with CDD, and the CDD delay values in the pre-coding codebook are updated.

For the method described in the embodiment of fig. 5, the method can also be implemented by using a system as shown in fig. 7, where the system is implemented by the user equipment periodically and automatically starting the CDD delay value updating process in the precoding codebook. The system described in the embodiment of fig. 7 differs from the system described in the embodiment of fig. 6 in that: in fig. 7, a timing module periodically generates and sends a start signal to the channel characteristic determination module in the user equipment, where the timing modules of different users may be synchronous or asynchronous. At this time, the base station does not need to be provided with a starting updating signal sending module. Here, how to select the CDD delay value in the global precoding codebook by the base station is similar to the system described in fig. 6, and other work flows of the system are also similar to the system described in fig. 6, and therefore, details are not repeated here.
Example three:
in this embodiment, a receiving end, that is, a user equipment, obtains a CDD delay value in an optimal precoding codebook of the user equipment, and feeds the CDD delay value back to a base station, and a sending end, that is, the base station, selects the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding codebook for each user according to the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding codebook collected from each user equipment, so as to implement adaptive update of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, and update of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook is performed independently for each user, thereby ensuring system performance to the maximum extent. Referring to fig. 8, in a multi-user scheduling MIMO-OFDMA system including a base station and a plurality of user equipments to which a precoding technique combined with CDD is applied, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 801, a base station sends a starting signal to user equipment to start an updating process of a CDD delay value in a precoding codebook, or the user equipment periodically and automatically starts the updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook;
step 802, in each feedback period, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot frequency information sent by the base station, respectively acquires a CDD delay value in a precoding codebook capable of obtaining optimal channel quality on each sub-band according to a channel estimation result, and feeds back the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook and the corresponding channel quality thereof to the base station;
step 803, the base station selects the optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user respectively by using the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook from each user equipment or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook collected in different feedback periods in the updating process and the corresponding channel quality;
step 804, the base station updates the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook according to the CDD delay value in the selected precoding codebook and informs each user equipment;
step 805, the system works normally under the CDD delay value in the updated precoding codebook.
When the base station does not initiate the start of updating the CDD delay value again or the timing period of the periodic automatic start of the user equipment for updating the CDD delay value does not come, the user equipment does not need to update the CDD delay value and does not need to select the CDD delay value by the base station. In the normal working process, for the data of the scheduled user, the base station uses the CDD delay value in the precoding code book corresponding to the user to process the data.
In the above process, in step 802, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot information sent by the base station, and according to the result of channel estimation, obtains the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding codebook on each subband respectively, and may adopt the following two methods:
the method comprises the following steps: through traversal search, the CDD delay values in all possible precoding codebooks are tested one by one within the possible value range of the delay value on each subband, so that the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook with the optimal channel quality (such as capacity, data rate, bit error rate and the like) obtained by the user is the optimal CDD delay value on the subband. The range of the delay value is [0, Nc-1], where Nc is the total number of subcarriers, and is periodic due to the operation of cyclic shift, so the range of the delay value can also be expressed as [ -Nc/2, Nc/2-1 ]. In a multi-user system, the value selected as the optimal CDD delay value is usually closer to 0, that is, the absolute value is smaller, so the value range of the delay value is expressed as [ -Nc/2, Nc/2-1], and thus the search range can be reduced, thereby reducing the complexity.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: and calculating to obtain the CDD delay value in the precoding code book which enables the channel quality obtained by the user to be optimal. The capacity is taken as an example to explain how to obtain the optimal CDD delay value by calculation.
And calculating the capacity obtained by the user equipment on each sub-band through a capacity calculation expression as follows:
CM(d1,…,dNt)=f(H,U,d1,…,dNt)
wherein, CMDenotes the M thCapacity on each subband, H denotes the channel response from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna obtained by channel estimation, diIndicating the CDD delay value in the precoding code book corresponding to the ith transmitting antenna, and Nt indicating the number of the transmitting antennas; in a CDD-combined precoding codebook, the codebook <math> <mrow> <mi>P</mi> <mo>=</mo> <mi>diag</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;k</mi> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mn>1</mn> </msub> </mrow> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>,</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>&CenterDot;</mo> <mo>,</mo> <msup> <mi>e</mi> <mfrac> <mrow> <mo>-</mo> <mi>j</mi> <mn>2</mn> <mi>&pi;k</mi> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mi>Nt</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mi>Nc</mi> </mfrac> </msup> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mi>U</mi> <mo>,</mo> </mrow> </math> Where Nc denotes the number of all subcarriers, the diagonal matrix is the codebook part of CDD in the precoding codebook, U is the codebook part designed by the conventional method in precoding, and the form of U is different in different operating modes (e.g., single-user diversity mode, single-user spatial multiplexing mode, multi-user spatial multiplexing mode). By optimizing CMThe optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook can be obtained, for example, by performing optimization calculation through the lagrangian algorithm.
The user equipment can obtain the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook ensuring the channel quality to be optimal on each sub-band by any one of the above two methods. Then, the user equipment feeds back the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding codebooks or the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding codebooks and the corresponding channel quality to the base station.
In this embodiment, the base station selects an optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user according to the collected CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook from each user equipment or the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook and the corresponding channel quality, and may measure and select in various ways. Only two methods are listed below as examples:
the method comprises the following steps: and selecting according to the probability density distribution condition of the CDD delay values in the local optimal precoding code book fed back by each user equipment in different feedback periods in the same updating process.

Based on the set, the base station draws { diUE(iSB,iInterval),iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalThe probability density distribution function of the user i takes the Nt CDD delay values corresponding to the highest probability as the user iUEThe optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook. The CDD delay value thus obtained has the value of the delay of the user iUEThe maximum probability of the optimal CDD delay value is selected, so that the performance gain can be provided, and the system performance is guaranteed.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: and selecting according to the probability density distribution condition of the channel quality by using the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook fed back by the user equipment in different feedback periods in the same updating process and the corresponding channel quality.
When the method is adopted, the user equipment feeds back the optimal CDD delay value to the base station and simultaneously feeds back the channel quality corresponding to the optimal CDD delay value. Here, let { diUE(iSB,iInterval),iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalIs user iUESet of locally optimal CDD delay values for feedback, { CiUE(iSB,iInterval),iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalIs user iUEOf feedback corresponding to { diUE(iSB,iInterval),iSB=1,…,NSB,iInterval=1,…,NIntervalThe CQI of. Based on these two sets, the base station first calculates C (d)i), <math> <mrow> <mi>C</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mi>i</mi> </msub> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mo>=</mo> <munder> <mi>&Sigma;</mi> <mrow> <mi>d</mi> <mo>=</mo> <msub> <mi>d</mi> <mi>i</mi> </msub> </mrow> </munder> <msub> <mi>C</mi> <msub> <mi>i</mi> <mi>UE</mi> </msub> </msub> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <msub> <mi>i</mi> <mi>SB</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>i</mi> <mi>Interval</mi> </msub> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mo>,</mo> </mrow> </math> Indicating and precoding the CDD delay value in the codebook as diCorresponding CQI sum, and then plotting { C (d)i) Will correspond to C (d)i) The highest Nt CDD delay values as user iUEThe optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook. Thus obtained user iUECan make the user i have the maximum probabilityUEProviding a larger CQI for the system, thereby providing performance gain and ensuringThe system performance.
For each user, using one of the above two methods, an optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user can be obtained.

the feedback information receiving module is configured to receive a CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook or a CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook sent by each user equipment and a channel quality corresponding to the CDD delay value.
Here, the probability analysis module is different from the corresponding module in the first embodiment, and the difference is that: in this embodiment, the probability analysis module performs probability analysis on the feedback information of each user by using the feedback information received by the feedback information receiving module, so as to select an optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user.
In the system described in this embodiment, after the start update signal sending module in the base station sends the start signal for updating the CDD delay value to each user equipment, the start update signal receiving module in each user equipment receives the start signal and starts the CDD delay value obtaining module in the local optimal precoding codebook.
At this time, the CDD delay value obtaining module in the local optimal precoding codebook respectively obtains the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook that enables the channel quality obtained by the user to be optimal on each sub-band according to the channel estimation result output by the channel estimation submodule, and sends the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook to the feedback information receiving module in the base station, then, the feedback information receiving module sends the received local optimal precoding codebook CDD delay value or the local optimal precoding codebook CDD delay value from each user equipment and the corresponding channel quality thereof to the probability analysis module, and the probability analysis module independently performs probability distribution analysis on the CDD delay value in the local optimal precoding codebook of each user equipment, and selects Nt CDD delay values with the largest probability for each user. Then, the probability analysis module sends the Nt CDD delay values selected for each user to the precoding codebook module combined with CDD to update the CDD delay values in the precoding codebook. Or the probability analysis module performs probability distribution analysis on the channel quality corresponding to the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding codebook of each user equipment independently, selects Nt CDD delay values corresponding to the channel quality with the highest probability for each user, and sends the values to the precoding codebook module combined with CDD to update the CDD delay values in the precoding codebook. In the normal working process, for the data of the scheduled user, the base station uses the CDD delay value in the precoding code book corresponding to the user to process the data.
For the method described in the embodiment in fig. 8, it can also be implemented by using the system shown in fig. 4, please refer to the above description, in this embodiment, the function of the probability analysis module is different from that of the probability analysis module in the first embodiment, and the system is that the user equipment periodically and automatically starts the CDD delay value updating process in the precoding codebook (via the timing module).
Example four:
in this embodiment, the receiving end, i.e., the user equipment, acquires its own channel characteristic information, and then the transmitting end, i.e., the base station, reasonably selects the optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user according to the collected channel characteristic information from each user equipment, so as to implement adaptive update of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, thereby ensuring the system performance to the maximum extent. Referring to fig. 9, in a multi-user scheduling MIMO-OFDMA system including a base station and a plurality of user equipments to which a precoding technique combined with CDD is applied, the method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
step 901, the base station sends a start signal to the user equipment to start an updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook, or the user equipment periodically and automatically starts the updating process of the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook;
step 902, in each feedback period, the user equipment performs channel estimation by using pilot frequency information sent by the base station, judges channel characteristics according to a channel estimation result, and feeds back the obtained channel characteristic information to the base station;
step 903, the base station reasonably selects the optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user respectively by using the channel characteristic information from each user equipment collected in different feedback periods in the updating process;
step 904, the base station updates the CDD delay value in the precoding codebook according to the CDD delay value in the selected precoding codebook, and notifies each user equipment;
step 905, the system works normally under the updated CDD delay value in the precoding codebook.
When the base station does not initiate the start of updating the CDD delay value again or the timing period of the periodic automatic start of the user equipment for updating the CDD delay value does not come, the user equipment does not need to update the CDD delay value and does not need to select the global CDD delay value by the base station.
In the above process, in step 902, the ue performs channel estimation by using pilot information sent by the base station, and determines channel characteristics according to a channel estimation result, where the channel characteristic information may include:
the direct path and the non-direct path are adopted, and the direct path is a straight line transmission path because no obstacle exists between the transmitting end and the receiving end, so that a relatively constant component is contained in channel response; the non-direct path means that there is an obstacle between the transmitting end and the receiving end, and thus there is no component of the straight line transmission.
Fast fading and slow fading, wherein fast fading refers to rapid change of channel response in a time domain and is caused by rapid movement of a user; slow fading is that the channel response changes slowly in the time domain, and the correlation between the channel responses at adjacent times is strong, which is caused by the slow movement of the user.
Flat fading and frequency selective fading, wherein the flat fading means that the frequency domain response of a channel is relatively flat, that is, the number of multipaths responding in the time domain of the channel is relatively small; frequency selective fading refers to that the frequency domain response of a channel varies strongly with frequency, i.e., the channel response has more multipath in the time domain.
Regardless of the channel characteristic information, it can be transmitted to the base station by simple coding. And the base station reasonably selects the optimal CDD delay value in the precoding code book for each user respectively according to the collected channel characteristic information from each user device.
The CDD delay values in the appropriate precoding codebook corresponding to different channel characteristics are different, as follows:
for the direct path and the non-direct path, the channel of the direct path is suitable for using a larger CDD delay value in the precoding code book; the non-direct path is suitable for using smaller CDD delay values in the precoding codebook.
For fast fading and slow fading, a fast fading channel is suitable for using a larger CDD delay value in a precoding codebook; slow fading is suitable for using the CDD delay values in smaller precoding codebooks.
For flat fading and frequency selective fading, a flat fading channel is suitable for using a large CDD delay value in a precoding codebook; frequency selective fading is suitable for using the CDD delay values in the smaller precoding codebook.
In step 903, the base station reasonably selects an optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user by using the channel characteristic information from each user equipment collected in different feedback periods in the updating process, and may adopt the following two methods:
the method comprises the following steps: the base station analyzes the probability distribution of different channel characteristics for each user according to the channel characteristic information fed back by the user, and selects the optimal CDD delay value in the precoding codebook for each user according to the three relations for the channel characteristic information with the maximum probability, namely selects Nt CDD delay values matched with the channel characteristics with the maximum probability as the optimal CDD delay values in the precoding codebook for the corresponding user.
The method 2 comprises the following steps: the base station firstly judges the CDD delay value (larger CDD delay value or smaller CDD delay value) in which precoding code book the channel of each user is suitable for according to the channel characteristic information fed back by the user, then independently analyzes the probability distribution of the larger CDD delay value and the smaller CDD delay value of each user, and selects Nt CDD delay values with the maximum probability as the CDD delay value in the optimal precoding code book of the corresponding user.
