在时分双工（TDD, Time Division Duplexing )的 MIMO***中， 上行 信道与下行信道所处频段相同， 仅通过时间变化切换上行与下行传输， 因 此， 上行信道与下行信道具有互易性， 即可以通过获取下行信道信息来直 接获得上行信道信息， 可以利于使用信道矩阵、 并对信道矩阵做特征值分 解， 获得波束成形发射权值， 可以最大限度的利用信道容量。
本发明的基本思想是： 对于釆用 TDD技术的 MIMO***， UE侧首先 获得待发送各层数据流的发射权值， 并有选择的对各层数据流进行加权发 射， 在最大限度利用信道容量的基础上， 又充分合理的利用了空间信道的 资源。
本发明的多层波束成形方法， 适用于釆用 TDD技术的通信***， 如釆 用 TDD技术的 MIMO***， 参照图 1所示， 主要包括以下步骤：
步骤 101 : UE根据已获得的各空间信道层的发射权值， 得到各层数据 流到达接收侧的信噪比； 步骤 102: 所述 UE根据所得到各层数据流到达接收侧的信噪比， 确定 能够发送的数据流；
步骤 103: 所述 UE对所述能够发送的数据流进行波束成形处理， 并发 射到接收侧。
这里， 所述接收侧一般为基站侧。
其中， 步骤 101中， UE得到各空间信道层的发射权值的过程包括： UE 得到上行信道矩阵； 对所得到的上行信道矩阵进行特征值分解， 得到各空 间信道层的增益， 即各空间信道层的发射权值； 计算各空间信道层的发射 权值与自身链路信噪比的乘积， 得到各层数据流到达接收侧的信噪比。
这里， UE通过信道估计得到下行信道矩阵， 再根据 TDD信道的互易 性， 得到上行信道矩阵。
其中， 步骤 102中， 所述 UE根据所得到各层数据流到达接收侧的信噪 比， 确定能够发送的数据流， 可以为： 所述 UE将所得到各层数据流到达接 收侧的信噪比与预先配置的信噪比门限值进行比较， 将数据流到达接收侧 的信噪比大于所述信噪比门限值的各层数据流确定为能够发送的数据流。
这里， 信噪比门限值可以设置为接收侧正确块率达到仿真评估的门限 值 P时的接收信噪比1 ^vw^ , 这里， 接收侧的正确块率为 1减去接收侧的误 块率（BLER, Block Error Ratio )得到的差值， P的优选值为 70%。 实际应 用中， 对于每个信道传输场景， 可以通过仿真测试， 得到接收侧误块率与 信噪比的关系， 具体过程是本领域常用技术手段， 在此不再赘述。

其中， 所述获得单元可以用于， 获得上行信道矩阵； 对所获得的上行 信道矩阵进行特征值分解， 得到各空间信道层的增益， 即各空间信道层的 发射权值； 再计算各空间信道层的发射权值与自身链路信噪比的乘积， 得 到各层数据流到达接收侧的信噪比。
其中， 所述 UE还可以包括： 配置单元， 用于预先配置信噪比门限值； 这里， 所述确定单元可以用于， 将所述获得单元得到的各层数据流到 达接收侧的信噪比与所述配置单元预先配置的信噪比门限值进行比较， 将 数据流到达接收侧的信噪比大于所述信噪比门限值的各层数据流确定为能 够发送的数据流。
其中， 所述发送单元可以用于， 对所述确定单元所确定能够发送的数 据流进行编码、 调整、 加载各层的专用导频， 根据能够发送的数据流所在 空间信道层的发射权值， 将能够发送的数据流映射到自身的发射天线上， 并通过发射天线发送给接收侧。
图 2为本发明 TDD***多层波束成形实现过程的一种具体实施例，UE 作为发射侧， 由于噪声为已知值， 其链路信噪比^ V ^也就为已知值， 预先 配置到 UE中。 如果当前 UE作为发射侧， 其天线数目为 N, 基站作为接收 侧， 其天线数目为 M, 则得到的上行信道矩阵 H为如下式 ( 1 )所示， M*N 维的矩阵。 kl2 kl3 K
H =
h..., h..
( 1 ) 对上述的上行信道矩阵 H进行特征值分解后， 得到特征值矩阵 E, 如 下式（2 ) 所示：
Figure imgf000008_0001
其中， 对应于特征值 的第一列特征矢量即为层 1所需要使用的权值 矢量； 对应于 的第 f列特征矢量即为层 f 所需要使用的权值矢量； 为 空间信道层 1的增益， 为空间信道层 2的增益， ... ...， 为空间信道层 f的增益。 这里， 空间信道层数目 f满足如下式（3 )。
f=min ( M, N ) ( 3 ) 根据上述得到的各空间信道层的增益， 即各空间信道层的发射权值， 得到各层数据流达到接收侧的信噪比如下： 层 1 的数据流到达接收侧的信 噪比为 S^^ * ^ , 层 2的数据流到达接收侧的信噪比为 SNR , ... ... , 层 f的数据流到达接收侧的信噪比为 SNRrx ^ff 。
UE将得到的 f个空间信道层中数据流到达接收侧的信噪比与预先配置 的信噪比门限值 SNRRx进行比较， 数据流到达接收侧的信噪比大于预先配置 的信噪比门限值1 ^时， 此层的数据流在接收侧能够得到正常解码， UE 确定该层的数据流可以进行传输。 在图 2所示的一种具体实施例中， 有 k 个层的数据流到达接收侧的信噪比大于信噪比门限值
Figure imgf000008_0002
此时， UE 决 定对这 k个层的数据流进行波束成形处理， 并传输到接收侧。
参照图 3所示， 图 2所示波束成形过程的具体实现流程可以包括如下 步骤：
步骤 301 : UE根据下行公共导频估计下行信道矩阵，通过 TDD信道的 互易性， 得到上行信道矩阵。
步骤 302: UE对所得到的上行信道矩阵进行特征值分解， 得到 f个空 间信道层的增益和对应的 f列特征矢量，并根据所得到的各空间信道层的增 益， 得到各空间信道层数据流到达接收侧的信噪比；
步骤 303: UE找到数据流到达接收侧的信噪比大于信噪比门限值
Figure imgf000009_0001
的层 1~层 k, 并确定对层 1~层 k的数据流进行传输。
步骤 304: UE对层 1~层1^的数据流进行编码、 调制。
步骤 305: UE对层 1~层1^的数据流分别加载各层对应的专用导频（DRS,
Dedicated Reference Signal );
这里， DRS是预先配置在 UE和接收侧。
步骤 306: UE根据在步骤 302得到的各层增益， 即各层的发射权值， 对层 1~层 k的数据流进行加权处理， 分别将层 1~层 k的数据流映射到发射 天线， 并通过发射天线的天线端口进行发送， 完成波束赋形过程。
步骤 307: 作为接收侧的基站侧通过自身的接收天线接收层 1~层 k的 数据流， 并根据所接收数据流的专用导频进行信号解调。
以上所述， 仅为本发明的较佳实施例而已， 并非用于限定本发明的保 护范围， 凡在本发明的精神和原则之内所作的任何修改、 等同替换和改进 等， 均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
