Background technology
LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) system supports FDD (Frequency DivisionDuplex, FDD) and two kinds of duplex modes of TDD (Time Division Duplex, time division duplex), and two kinds of dual-modes use different frame structures; And second type of frame structure (FS2) only is applicable to the LTETDD system, and be as shown in Figure 1, and each radio frames is made up of the long field (half-frame) of two 5ms; Wherein,
For the uplink and downlink change-over period is the system of 5ms; Each field comprises subframe (subframe) and 3 special time slots (special slot): DwPTS (descending pilot frequency time slot), GP (protection at interval) and the UpPTS (uplink pilot time slot) that 4 1ms are long, and the length overall of 3 special time slots is 1ms;
For the uplink and downlink change-over period be the system of 10ms, first field comprises subframe and 3 special time slot: DwPTS, GP and UpPTS that 4 1ms are long; Because of switching cycle is 10ms, subframe 6 no longer is called special time slot, and is general descending sub frame, so second field has only the long subframe of 5 1ms;
Wherein, the length of special time slot is configurable, and subframe 0 is reserved as downlink transfer forever with subframe 5 and DwPTS; Preceding 1~2 OFDM (Orthogonal FrequencyDivision Multiplexing in the DwPTS time slot; OFDM) transmitting downlink control signal in the symbol; 72 center subcarriers that the master sync signal that is used to carry out cell initial search (cell serach) always takies on the 3rd the OFDM symbol on subframe 1 and the subframe 6 transmit, and are as shown in Figure 2; Except that broadcast channel (PBCH); The idling-resource that any downlink business all can take on this DwPTS time slot or the subframe 6 transmits; Like PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel; Physical down link sharing channel), PMCH (physical multicast channel, Physical Multicast Channel) etc.
The method of transmitting PMCH comprises that following content: PMCH only uses expansion CP (extended CP) in the general service subframe that defines in the LTE standard at present, and takes whole frequency band, transmits with subframe 5 but can not take subframe 0, does not support transmit diversity simultaneously; In addition, PMCH carries out layer (layer) mapping and precoding (percoding) based on the single antenna port, and uses antenna port 4 to transmit, and carries out keeping preceding 1 or 2 OFDM symbol and carrying out unicast transmission in the subframe of PMCH transmission, is used for control channel; Wherein, the mapping pattern of the data of transmission and reference symbol is as shown in Figure 3 on antenna port 4, and each grid is represented a RE (resource element, Resource Unit) among the figure, and a modulation symbol will be mapped on the RE R
4Expression MBSFN reference symbol, the sub-district dedicated reference symbols only is present in preceding 1~2 the OFDM symbol that carries out unicast transmission;
But; If adopt the special subframe (special time slot DwPTS or subframe 6) of transmission master sync signal to carry out descending PMCH transmission according to aforesaid way; 72 center subcarriers transmit on the 3rd OFDM symbol of special subframe because master sync signal always takies; And the employed MBSFN of demodulation PMCH (multicast/multicast single-frequency network network) reference symbol takies this symbol equally, so both will bump on the parton carrier wave; At this moment, the way that solves in the existing scheme is to destroy a side who bumps; But; Because all users utilize master sync signal to carry out cell initial search in the sub-district,, will make then that all users can't carry out cell initial search in the sub-district if destroy the master sync signal that bumps at this moment; And then influence the operate as normal of system, cause systemic breakdown; And,, will have a strong impact on the demodulation performance on the Multicast Channel if destroy the MBSFN reference signal that bumps this moment because the decline of PMCH transmission channel frequency domain changes acutely.

Embodiment
Basic thought of the present invention is through preset new MBSFN reference symbol mapping structure; Make in the special subframe center 72 number of sub-carrier on the 3rd the OFDM symbol keep for master sync signal; And the PMCH data symbol taken all idle RE on the whole frequency band, and then carry out the resource mapping; Wherein, above-mentioned preset structure is based on the existing MBSFN reference symbol mapping structure of LTE standard, and time-domain position that MBSFN reference symbol wherein takies realizes through adjusting; With this, can effectively avoid the collision problem of master sync signal and MBSFN reference symbol in the transmitting PMCH process, and guarantee that simultaneously PMCH detects performance, thereby improve system flexibility and efficient.
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, method of the present invention is elaborated below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and specific embodiment.
The embodiment of the invention 1 provide a kind of in special subframe the method for transmitting PMCH, as shown in Figure 4, this method comprises:
Step 401: preset new MBSFN reference symbol mapping structure;
Present embodiment proposes based on the existing MBSFN reference symbol mapping structure of LTE standard; Preset new MBSFN reference symbol mapping structure through adjusting the time-domain position that MBSFN reference symbol wherein takies; But be not limited thereto, also can repeat no more through other modes this paper; Concrete; Former reference symbol is shifted; Make it not take the 3rd OFDM symbol in the special subframe, center 72 number of sub-carrier that are about in the special subframe on the 3rd the OFDM symbol are kept for master sync signal, simultaneously the PMCH data symbol are taken all idle RE on the whole frequency band (RE that is not promptly taken by PDCCH (grouping DCCH), master sync signal and MBSFN reference symbol); Shine upon conveniently to carry out resource, and then be supported in upward transmitting PMCH of special subframe (DwPTS or subframe 6);
Wherein, present embodiment also proposes the time-domain position according to following method adjustment reference symbol, to avoid the collision problem of master sync signal and MBSFN reference symbol:
1, skew formula: be about to reference symbol integral body in the original structure OFDM symbol that moves to right:
As shown in Figure 5; With the OFDM symbol that moves to right of reference symbol integral body in the original structure; No longer include MBSFN reference symbol in the 3rd OFDM symbol this moment; Can avoid said MBSFN reference symbol and master sync signal to bump with this, and can guarantee in subframe 6 (10ms switching cycle) or general service subframe, to use the time, have the performance identical with existing structure; What wherein, the mapping pattern was represented among the figure is the mapping structure that 1 PRB (Physical Resource Block) (comprise 12 number of sub-carrier on the frequency domain, comprise 14 or 12 OFDM symbols on the time domain) goes up the MBSFN reference symbol;
2, centralized: as to keep secondary series reference symbol invariant position in the original structure, the reference symbol in left side is moved to the center; Concrete, can be divided into several kinds of situation:
The first row reference symbol in left side is moved 1 OFDM symbol to the center; Keep the 3rd row reference symbol invariant position on right side simultaneously, promptly do not move; Certainly also can the 3rd row reference symbol on right side be moved to the left 1 OFDM symbol or be moved to the left 2 OFDM symbols or be moved to the left 3 OFDM symbols; 1 the OFDM symbol that also can the 3rd row reference symbol on right side be moved right in addition, concrete displacement can be adjusted as required, and this paper repeats no more;
Certainly; Can also the first row reference symbol in left side be moved 2 or 3 OFDM symbols to the center in the aforesaid way; Keep the 3rd row reference symbol invariant position on right side simultaneously, promptly do not move; Certainly also can the 3rd row reference symbol on right side be moved to the left 1 OFDM symbol or be moved to the left 2 OFDM symbols or be moved to the left 3 OFDM symbols; In addition also can be with the 3rd row reference symbol on right side with 1 the OFDM symbol that moves right, concrete displacement can be adjusted as required, and this paper repeats no more;
Wherein, Present embodiment has proposed a kind of preferred mode, and is as shown in Figure 6, keeps secondary series reference symbol invariant position; The reference symbol of the left and right sides is moved 1 OFDM symbol to the center respectively; Be about to the first row reference symbol, 1 the OFDM symbol that moves to right, the 3rd row reference symbol 1 the OFDM sign bit that moves to left no longer includes the MBSFN reference symbol in the 3rd OFDM symbol in the structure after this mode is shifted; Can avoid said MBSFN reference symbol and master sync signal to bump with this; And the adjusted structure of this mode can better guarantee in DwPTS, to carry out PMCH system for transmitting performance, and in subframe 6 (10ms switching cycle) or generic downlink service subframe the time, also can guarantee to have and the akin performance of existing structure; In addition, because when the resource mapping is carried out in configuration, tend to destroy the part of O FDM symbol of mapping pattern afterbody, so the adjusted structure of this kind mode can effectively reduce the probability that the 3rd row reference symbol is struck off according to the difference of DwPTS.
Step 402: use said preset new construction to carry out the resource mapping, and will accomplish the resource of shining upon and move on the subcarrier of correspondence so that carry out subsequent transmission;
Concrete; At first utilize above-mentioned preset new mapping structure that PMCH data symbol, MBSFN reference symbol, master sync signal, PDCCH, sub-district dedicated reference symbols etc. are mapped on the corresponding Resource Unit: wherein, the PMCH data symbol takes all idle RE on the whole frequency band (RE that is not promptly taken by PDCCH, master sync signal and MBSFN reference symbol); The MBSFN reference symbol takies new RE according to preset structure, and does not take the 3rd RE that the OFDM symbol is shone upon; Master sync signal takies the 3rd RE that the OFDM symbol is shone upon in the special subframe; The sub-district dedicated reference symbols takies the RE of preceding 1~2 OFDM sign map of carrying out unicast transmission;
The resource that to accomplish mapping is then moved on the subcarrier of correspondence so that carry out subsequent transmission: concrete, the resource that the MBSFN reference symbol takies is moved on the subcarrier in its OFDM symbol that newly takies; Master sync signal is moved on the 3rd OFDM symbol of special subframe on 72 number of sub-carrier of center, conveniently to carry out subsequent transmission; Those skilled in the art readily understand how the resource that other data symbols shone upon is moved on the subcarrier of correspondence, and this paper repeats no more;
In the transmitting PMCH process, can effectively avoid the collision of MBSFN reference symbol and master sync signal so, by the way; And because of the MBSFN reference symbol be the frequency pilot sign that receiving terminal is used to carry out channel estimating in the PMCH channel; So after the collision of having avoided MBSFN reference symbol and master sync signal; Also promptly need not to destroy the MBSFN reference symbol, in spreading out of the PMCH process, will can not influence the demodulation performance on the Multicast Channel; Solved the problem of collision simultaneously, also promptly need not to destroy master sync signal, also can not influence all users' in the sub-district cell initial search, and then improve the service system performance.
In addition, the embodiment of the invention 1 also comprises following determining step before carrying out the resource mapping:
Step 403: judge the transmission subframe type, when the transmission subframe is special subframe, adopt new reference symbol mapping structure to carry out the resource mapping; Concrete,
