Background technology
MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, multiple-input, multiple-output) system is used a plurality of transmittings, reception antenna, utilize signal sky, time, frequency-domain combined processing obtains speed, diversity and array gain.In mimo system, if transmitter can be known channel information in some way, just can to transmitted signal, be optimized according to the characteristic of channel, to improve the quality of reception and to reduce the requirement to Receiver Complexity.The general feedback system that adopts quantized channel information in real system, to reduce feedback overhead and feedback delay.
LTE (Long-Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) eNB (evolvedNodeB in Rel-8/9 (version 8 or 9), evolution base station) can utilize channel reciprocity or UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) feedback obtains CSI (the Channel State Information of down channel, channel condition information), wherein several main transmission mode of PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, physical down link sharing channel) has all adopted the implicit expression CSI feedback method based on code book.Transmission mode 4, 5, 6, and the PMI of transmission mode 8 (Precoding Matrix Indicator, pre-coding matrix sign) report in pattern UE based on CRS (Cell-specific Reference Signal, the exclusive reference signal in community) measure down channel, and data flow Rank number (the RI:Rank Indication that reports down link to support to eNB according to the reception & disposal algorithm of himself, order index) and the label of pre-coding matrix (PMI), UE also needs to report channel quality (the CQI:Channel Quality Indicator of each code word simultaneously, channel quality indication).Wherein, in the computational process of CQI, UE hypothesis eNB has been used the RI/PMI of its recommendation.
The pre-coding scheme based on code book adopting in LTE Rel-8/9 mainly lays particular emphasis on alone family application scenarios, and Rel-10 (LTE-A:LTE-Advanced, long-term evolution upgrading) in, will further optimize for precoding and feedback mechanism thereof, to support better multi-user scene.According to current discussion result, LTE-A for the basic demand of feedback enhanced scheme is: keeping, under the prerequisite of lower feedback overhead, improving as far as possible CSI feedback accuracy.Under above-mentioned background, substantially determined at present and will in Rel-10, adopt based on dicode feedback scheme originally.In this scheme, channel information be divided into comparatively stable long-term/broadband CSI with there are optionally short-term/frequency selectivity CSI two parts of higher time/frequency, two code books of design, respectively information and frequency selectivity/short-term information during the broadband/length of quantized channel.Based on 2 PMI of two code books feedback, the time/frequency granularity of the feedback that makes 2 PMI based on different, so just can save PMI feedback overhead, thus the performance of raising precoding MIMO system.For simplicity, information when PMI_1 represents broadband/length in application, PMI_2 represents frequency selectivity/short-term information.
In the existing version (Rel-8/9) of LTE, high level can configuration UE adopt PUCCH (PhysicalUplink Control Channel, Physical Uplink Control Channel) carrying out periodicity reports and/or adopts PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, physical uplink link sharing channel) to carry out reporting aperiodic.Wherein the reporting information in PUCCH is to choose from 4 kinds of report type (reporting types), and in Rel-8/9, PUCCH can be used the combination of 4 kinds of report type.The PUCCH reporting mode (PUCCH reports pattern) that UE is used also carries out semi-static configuration by high-level signaling.Relation between report type and combination thereof in Rel8/9 (reporting mode) as shown in Table 1.
Table 1: every kind of report type and bit number thereof that PUCCH reporting mode comprises
The existing mechanism that reports designs for single codebook structure, cannot be for this feedback scheme of dicode of Rel-10.At present, Rel-10 feedback scheme just under discussion, does not also have clear and definite scheme.There is company to propose on PUCCH, PMI_1 and RI (Rank Indication, order index) use identical resource, PMI_2 and CQI are used identical resource, the RI that CQI reported based on the last time, PMI_1 and PMI_2 calculate, the feedback cycle of PMI_1 is the integral multiple of RI, and the feedback cycle of RI is the integral multiple of CQI/PMI_2 feedback cycle, does not now feed back CQI/PMI_2 when CQI/PMI_2 and RI or RI/PMI_1 feedback bump.This scheme is called to RI/PMI_1+CQI/PMI_2 scheme.As, when PMI_1 feedback cycle is 1 times of RI feedback cycle, the feedback cycle of RI/PMI_1 is 4 times of CQI/PMI_2 feedback cycle.Fig. 1 is the pattern diagram that reports of RI/PMI_1 and CQI/PMI_2, RI/PMI_1+CQI/PMI_2 scheme report pattern as shown in Figure 1.
The deficiencies in the prior art are:
In RI/PMI_1+CQI/PMI_2 scheme, PMI_1 and RI feed back in same subframe, first need newly to define the reporting types of a kind of PUCCH, also need to introduce one or more new PUCCH reportingmode., larger to the change of existing standard;
Secondly, add the information of PMI_1 in reporting the subframe of RI, as RI needs 3 bits, PMI_1 needs 4 bits, and total number of bits of feedback has increased more than one times, causes PUCCH code rate to be increased to 7/20 by 3/20, now can have a strong impact on the demodulation performance of RI;
Finally, because the information that can carry on PUCCH is limited, can only feed back at present the PMI in broadband, under the feedback model of broadband, the PMI_2 effect of low Rank is little, and feedback PMI_2 takies uplink feedback power resource and can not bring performance gain.
Embodiment
Inventor notices in invention process: in the situation that supporting low Rank, as Rank1 and Rank2, the correlation of channel is higher, information and frequency selectivity/short-term information two parts in the time of now channel information can being regarded as by broadband/length, so low Rank code book can by two independently code book form, and feed back respectively, PMI_1 and code word combination corresponding to PMI_2 that pre-coding matrix is selected in these two code books form; And in the situation that can supporting high Rank, the correlation of channel is lower, information and frequency selectivity/short-term information two parts while being no longer applicable to channel information to be divided into broadband/length, now in high Rank code book, PMI_1 can be made as unit matrix, and PMI_2 represents the information of channel.
At present, on PUCCH, only support that broadband P MI reports, in adopting above-mentioned code book scheme, under low Rank, only when subband feeds back, the PMI_2 of competence exertion effect works hardly, can not feed back, adopt the mode of fixed value or poll and do not affect systematic function; And PMI_1 is that unit matrix can not feed back completely under high Rank.So in the situation of broadband feedback, only have PMI_1 to work under low Rank in above-mentioned code book scheme, under high Rank, only have PMI_2 to work, on PUCCH, do not need to feed back PMI_1 and PMI_2 simultaneously.
Based on this, in embodiment, will a kind of new feedback scheme be proposed, under low Rank, only feed back PMI_1, under high Rank, only feed back PMI_2, adopt this scheme can reuse reporting types and the pattern of Rel-8, only need to arrange several new Mode State, and need not increase new reporting types and pattern, to existing standard, change less.Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing, the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

In enforcement, PMI_1 be stable long-term/broadband CSI, PMI_2 has optionally short-term/frequency selectivity CSI of higher time/frequency;
The cycle that transmitting terminal feeds back RI to receiving terminal is the integral multiple of feedback PMI_1 or PMI_2.Generally, the feedback cycle of RI is the integral multiple of CQI/PMI_1 or CQI/PMI_2 feedback cycle, when RI and CQI/PMI_1 or CQI/PMI_2 feedback bump, does not feed back CQI/PMI_1 or CQI/PMI_2.
In enforcement, transmitting terminal can feed back PMI and CQI by report pattern 1-1 or the 2-1 in LTE version 8 or 9.

Step 302, receiving terminal are according to PMI_1 or PMI_2 generating pre-coding matrix.
In enforcement, when receiving terminal receives the PMI_1 of transmitting terminal feedback, receiving terminal can adopt fixing or definite PMI_2 and the PMI_1 generating pre-coding matrix of polling mode.
In enforcement, when receiving terminal receives the PMI_2 of transmitting terminal feedback, receiving terminal can be unit matrix and PMI_2 generating pre-coding matrix by PMI_1;
Or, when receiving terminal receives the PMI_2 of transmitting terminal feedback, using PMI_2 as pre-coding matrix.
In enforcement, receiving terminal receives PMI and the CQI of transmitting terminal feedback by report pattern 1-1 or the 2-1 in LTE version 8 or 9.
In declarative procedure, to from transmitting terminal (as UE) and the enforcement of receiving terminal (as base station), describe respectively, but this does not also mean that the two must coordinate enforcement, in fact, when transmitting terminal and receiving terminal divide while coming into effect, it also solves the problem of transmitting terminal and receiving terminal separately, when just the two is combined with, can obtain better technique effect.Also it should be noted that, in enforcement, also can be using base station as transmitting terminal, and UE is as receiving terminal, there is no difference in enforcement.
