相关申请的交叉引用
本申请主张于2017年1月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为201710057497.4的优先权,其全部内容据此通过引用并入本申请。
技术领域
本公开涉及通信技术领域,特别是指一种数字波束成形码本生成方法及设备。
背景技术
当前3GPP标准化过程中,考虑到设备成本等因素,将采用混合波束成形(Hybrid Beamforming)方案。为了保证网络覆盖范围大,提升波束成形增益,混合波束成形中的模拟波束的波束宽度通常较窄,从而汇聚发射功率。而相应的数字波束成形,则采用固定码本的方案,用户每次从固定码本中选择相应的码字,作为PMI(Precoding Matrix Indicator,预编码矩阵指示)反馈,从而协助基站端完成数字波束成形。
在相关技术中,采用预先生成的固定的数字码本,覆盖整个角度空间(或相空间),用户端通过对比码本中的各码字,选择与当前信道最适合的码字进行波束成形(或PMI反馈),该方案具有复杂度低的特点。然而,对于5G NR***中,尤其是高频段***中,由于采用混合波束成形技术,模拟波束成形会极大的限制波束覆盖的范围;此外,由于高频通信中,存在直射径明显的特征(LOS信道),若使用统一的固定的数字码本,对于较窄的模拟波束,其涵盖的数字波束,数量极少,这将极大的限制数字波束成形的准确度,降低数字波束成形增益。
在5G通高频信中,莱斯信道状态更为明显,由于***采用混合波束成形,其生成的波束状态可表示如图1、2、3所示。其中图1表示模拟波束成形,图2和图3表示数字波束成形,其中,图2和图3中数字波束3成形的范围被限制在模拟波束成形中。
在模拟波束较宽的情况下,该模拟波束(如图1中的较宽的波束1)涵盖的数字波束数量尚可,但是采用同样的数字波束,如果在较窄的数字波束(如图1中较窄的波束2),则模拟波束下的数字波束数量极少,极大的限制了数字波束成形的增益。

其中,可以根据公式:
Figure PCTCN2018070763-appb-000005
从所述数字波束的成形码本V中,选择方向与理想波束成形向量w最接近的码字v;其中,
Figure PCTCN2018070763-appb-000006
表示码本化的波束成形向量。
本公开的该实施例,基于当前采用的模拟波束的信息,动态生成当前信道对应的数字波束成形码本,可以使数字码本合理表征模拟波束内的相空间,并从中选取最优码字进行数字波束成形。
本公开的第三实施例提供一种数字波束成形码本生成方法,包括:
步骤51,获取当前采用的模拟波束成形的信息;
步骤52,根据所述模拟波束成形的信息,生成数字波束的成形码本;
步骤53,从所述数字波束的成形码本中,选择与当前信道匹配的数字波束成形码字;
步骤54,将选择的所述当前信道匹配的数字波束成形码字,反馈给基站。
该实施例中,终端和基站侧均可以采用相同的算法,所述数字波束的成形码本中,选择与当前信道匹配的数字波束成形码字;其中,终端选择后,可以进一步将选择的所述当前信道匹配的数字波束成形码字,反馈给基站。也就是说,上述步骤51-53既可以在基站侧执行,也可以在终端侧执行。
本公开的上述实施例中,步骤51可以包括:
步骤511,获取当前进行探测参考信号SRS配置采用的模拟波束成形的信息。
其中,所述模拟波束成形的信息包括:模拟波束的宽度信息、模拟波束的旋转方向信息以及数字端口数。
本公开的上述实施例中,步骤52可以包括:
步骤521,对所述模拟波束成形的信息求秩,得到秩数;
步骤522,根据所述秩数,生成数字波束的成形码本;
具体的,步骤522可以包括:
步骤5221,根据所述秩数,确定波束的相空间维度;
步骤5222,获取所述相空间维度的信号强度;
步骤5223,根据所述相空间维度的信号强度,生成数字波束的成形码本;具体的,对于相空间维度的信号强度大于第一预设值的相空间维度上,分配多于第二预设值的码字,生成数字波束的成形码本。
采用如图6所示的基于模拟波束成形信息的数字码本生成设备,根据当前模拟波束成形信息,如模拟波束宽度、模拟波束方向等信息,生成当前模拟波 束对应的数字波束成形码本,再从该码本中,选择对应的数字波束成形码字。
生成数字码本就是把信道空间进行分配。没有模拟波束情况下,信道一般是满秩的,数字端口数就等于相空间的维度;但是存在模拟波束后,信道就会很大程度上降秩。
上述步骤521和步骤522的具体过程如下:
步骤521,rank(模拟波束信息(宽度、方向),数字端口数),求秩;
步骤522,根据秩数,采用LTE DFT码本的生成方式生成数字码本,由于LTE只有2、4、8、16四种秩,第一步算出秩等于7,表示相空间维度为7,则可以采用LTE port=8的码本(表示在8维空间内的各个方向)。
进一步的,求秩的过程中,采用svd算法可以知道每个相空间维度的强弱(svd(H)=U*D*V),如果某个方向强(D阵中大的那个方向),此时码本多分配一些码字在这个方向,***波束成形在这个方向更精细,总体性能更优。
本公开的上述实施例所述的方法,在混合波束成形下,用户(或基站)在选定某一模拟波束后,根据当前模拟波束信息,动态生成当前信道对应的数字波束成形码本,今数字码本合理表征模拟波束内的相空间(不至于浪费部分数字码),并从中选取最优码字进行数字波束成形。
且本公开的数字波束成形增益较传统的固定码本下的数字波束成形方案,大幅度提升;
且本公开可抑制模拟波束间干扰,可同时接入的终端数目,较传统的固定码本下的数字波束成形方案大幅提高。
进一步的,本公开的上述实施例的方法应用于低频段等传统宽波束场景,生成的即时数字波束成形码本,可认为是固定的版本,从而兼容传统4G***。
