在本发明实施例中, 信道估计可以采用多种算法。 本发明实施例对此不 作限定。 例如, 为了提高信道估计的精度, UE进行信道估计可以采用维纳 插值算法, 也可以称为最小均方误差( Minimum Mean Square Error, MMSE ) 算法。 为了通过维纳插值算法进行信道估计, UE需要获取下行信道的统计 特性, 并确定维纳插值系数。  In the embodiment of the present invention, channel estimation can adopt various algorithms.

For example, in order to improve the accuracy of channel estimation, the UE may perform channel estimation by using a Wiener interpolation algorithm, which may also be called a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) algorithm. In order to perform channel estimation by the Wiener interpolation algorithm, the UE needs to acquire the statistical characteristics of the downlink channel and determine the Wiener interpolation coefficient.

Then, the UE may determine the second coefficient according to the first coefficient set, and the second coefficient may be a channel estimation coefficient.
UE可以根据第二系数和 DMRS进行信道估计。 UE进行信道估计的过 程可以如下:  The UE may perform channel estimation based on the second coefficient and the DMRS. The process of the UE performing channel estimation can be as follows:
假设传输模型如等式( 1 )表示:  Assume that the transmission model is expressed by equation (1):

Η = Χ ( 2 ) 其中, 是 Mxl的 DMRS信道向量, 是 的估计值。  Η = Χ ( 2 ) where is the estimated value of the DMRS channel vector of Mxl.

It should be noted that the above-described examples are only intended to assist those skilled in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present invention and not to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
可选地, 作为一个实施例, 下行信道统计特性可以包括下行信道的时域 相关矩阵、 频域相关矩阵、 时延功率谱或多普勒功率谱等。 此外, 下行信道 统计特性还可以包括现有技术中的其它特性, 本发明实施例对此不作限定。  Optionally, as an embodiment, the downlink channel statistics feature may include a time domain correlation matrix of the downlink channel, a frequency domain correlation matrix, a delay power spectrum, or a Doppler power spectrum.

Candidate coefficient. The fourth coefficient may be determined according to the DMRS, and the fourth coefficient may be a coarse reference coefficient for channel estimation. A third coefficient having the smallest distance from the fourth coefficient may be selected from the third coefficient set as the second coefficient, or a third coefficient having the largest correlation value with the fourth coefficient may be selected from the third coefficient set as the second coefficient. Since the fourth coefficient can reflect the characteristics of the actual downlink channel between the AP and the UE mapped by the DMRS, the third coefficient with the smallest distance from the fourth coefficient or the largest correlation value is selected as the second coefficient from the third coefficient set, so that The second coefficient is more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the channel estimation.
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 220中, UE可以根据第一系数集合, 确定第三系数集合, 第三系数集合包括至少一个第三系数, 第三系数可以是 用于信道估计的候选系数。 可从基站接收携带第一指示信息的动态信令, 第 一指示信息可用于指示第三系数集合中的能够用作第二系数的第三系数。 UE可将能够用作第二系数的第三系数作为第二系数。 由于基站能够获知每 个 CSI-RS映射的 AP以及 DMRS映射的 AP ,因此能够更为准确地从第三系 数集合中选择能够用作第二系数的第三系数, 这样使得第二系数更为准确, 从而能够提高信道估计的精确度。  Optionally, in another embodiment, in step 220, the UE may determine, according to the first set of coefficients, a third set of coefficients, where the third set of coefficients includes at least one third coefficient, where the third coefficient may be used for channel estimation.

Dynamic signaling carrying the first indication information may be received from the base station, and the first indication information may be used to indicate a third coefficient in the third set of coefficients that can be used as the second coefficient. The UE may use the third coefficient that can be used as the second coefficient as the second coefficient. Since the base station can learn the AP of each CSI-RS mapping and the AP of the DMRS mapping, it is possible to more accurately select the third coefficient that can be used as the second coefficient from the third coefficient set, so that the second coefficient is more accurate. , thereby improving the accuracy of channel estimation.
可选地, 作为另一实施例, 在步骤 220中, UE可以对多个第一系数进 行处理, 确定至少一个第三系数, 其中, 对多个第一系数进行处理可以采用 以下处理方式中的至少一种: 加权处理、 平均处理和随机选择处理。 可选地,作为另一实施例,在步骤 220中,加权处理可以包括根据 CSI-RS 参考信号接收功率(Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP )所进行的加 权处理, 和 /或根据 DMRS的发送加权值所进行的加权处理。 Optionally, in another embodiment, in step 220, the UE may process the multiple first coefficients to determine at least one third coefficient, where processing the multiple first coefficients may be performed in the following processing manners. At least one of: weighting processing, averaging processing, and random selection processing. Optionally, as another embodiment, in step 220, the weighting process may include a weighting process according to a CSI-RS Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), and/or a transmission weight value according to the DMRS. The weighting process performed.
具体地, UE可以对多个第一系数进行加权处理, 确定至少一个第三系 数。 例如, UE可以根据 CSI-RS RSRP, 对多个第一系数进行加权, 确定至 少一个第三系数。 比如, UE可以对全部第一系数进行加权处理, 确定一个 第三系数。 另外, UE也可以将第一系数划分为多个分组, 对每个分组中的 第一系数根据 CSI-RS RSRP进行加权处理, 从而确定多个第三系数, 得到 第三系数集合。  Specifically, the UE may perform weighting processing on the plurality of first coefficients to determine at least one third coefficient. For example, the UE may weight the plurality of first coefficients according to the CSI-RS RSRP to determine at least one third coefficient. For example, the UE may perform weighting processing on all the first coefficients to determine a third coefficient. In addition, the UE may also divide the first coefficient into a plurality of packets, and perform weighting processing on the first coefficient in each packet according to the CSI-RS RSRP, thereby determining a plurality of third coefficients to obtain a third coefficient set.
再例如, UE还可以根据 DMRS的发送加权值, 对多个第一系数进行加 权处理, 确定至少一个第三系数。  For example, the UE may further perform weighting processing on the plurality of first coefficients according to the transmission weight value of the DMRS to determine at least one third coefficient.
此外, UE可以对多个第一系数进行平均处理, 确定至少一个第三系数。 例如, UE可以对全部第一系数进行平均处理, 确定一个第三系数。 另外, UE也可以将第一系数划分多个分组, 对每个分组中的第一系数进行平均处 理, 从而确定多个第三系数。  In addition, the UE may perform averaging processing on the plurality of first coefficients to determine at least one third coefficient. For example, the UE may average all the first coefficients to determine a third coefficient. In addition, the UE may also divide the first coefficient into a plurality of packets, and perform average processing on the first coefficients in each of the packets to determine a plurality of third coefficients.
另外, UE可以对多个第一系数进行选择处理, 确定至少一个第三系数。 例如, UE可以从多个第一系数中选择 n个第一系数作为第三系数, 其中 n 为正整数。  In addition, the UE may perform selection processing on the plurality of first coefficients to determine at least one third coefficient. For example, the UE may select n first coefficients from the plurality of first coefficients as the third coefficient, where n is a positive integer.
应注意, UE还可以采用组合的处理方式对多个第一系数进行处理。 例 如, UE可以将多个第一系数划分为多个分组, 每个分组可以采用加权处理、 平均处理或选择处理的方式进行处理, 确定一部分第三系数。 比如, UE可 以将多个系数划分为两个分组, 对第一分组的第一系数进行加权处理, 确定 第一部分第三系数; 可以对第二分组的第一系数进行选择处理, 确定第二部 分第三系数, 从而得到第三系数集合。  It should be noted that the UE may also process the plurality of first coefficients in a combined processing manner. For example, the UE may divide the plurality of first coefficients into a plurality of packets, and each of the packets may be processed by a weighting process, an averaging process, or a selection process to determine a part of the third coefficients. For example, the UE may divide the multiple coefficients into two groups, perform weighting processing on the first coefficient of the first group, and determine the third coefficient of the first part; and may perform selection processing on the first coefficient of the second group to determine the second part. The third coefficient, thereby obtaining a third set of coefficients.
再比如, UE还可以根据 CSI-RS RSRP对第一分组的第一系数进行加权 处理, 确定第一部分第三系数; 可以根据 DMRS 的发送加权值对第二分组 的第一系数进行加权处理,确定第二部分第三系数,从而得到第三系数集合。  For example, the UE may further perform weighting processing on the first coefficient of the first packet according to the CSI-RS RSRP to determine the first partial third coefficient; and may perform weighting processing on the first coefficient of the second packet according to the transmission weight value of the DMRS to determine The second part is a third coefficient, thereby obtaining a third coefficient set.
应注意, 上述根据第一系数集合确定第三系数集合的方式的举例只是为 了帮助本领域技术人员更好地理解本发明实施例, 而非限制本发明实施例的 范围。  It should be noted that the above-described manner of determining the third set of coefficients according to the first set of coefficients is only for the purpose of facilitating a better understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, and not limiting the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.
