Abstract
本申请提供了信道跟踪方法及装置,该方法中,终端设备根据参考信号配置信息,在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号;由于第一参考信号关联的天线端口与第二参考信号关联的天线端口相同;并且第一参考信号和第二参考信号以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息。因此,与仅依赖第一参考信号进行信道估计得方式相比,本申请中第二参考信号和第一参考信号联合进行信道估计的周期更短,能够更即时的获取信道状态信息。
Description
本申请涉及通信领域,尤其涉及一种信道跟踪方法及装置。
上行波束赋形过程中,为了消除各天线之间的影响,基站可根据终端设备通过各天线端口发送的信道探测参考信号(sound reference signal,SRS),获得信道状态信息(channel state information,CSI),进而基于该信道状态信息为终端设备配置相应的码本,以进行下行传输。
然而,由于终端设备发送SRS与网络设备发送物理下行共享信道之间存在时延,因此,该时延所带来的信道老化,会导致基于SRS配置的码本与下行传输实际最佳匹配的码本之间存在不匹配,进而影响预编码对多用户之间的干扰的抑制效果。
因此,如何及时获取信道状态信息成为一个亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种信道跟踪方法及装置,能够更即时的获取信道状态信息。
第一方面,本申请提供的信道跟踪方法中,参考信号配置信息包括第一参考信号和第二参考信号。终端设备根据参考信号配置信息,在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号;由于第一参考信号关联的天线端口与第二参考信号关联的天线端口相同;并且第一参考信号和第二参考信号以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息。因此,与仅依赖第一参考信号进行信道估计得方式相比,本申请中第二参考信号和第一参考信号联合进行信道估计的周期更短,从而能够更即时的获取信道状态信息。
进一步的,本申请实施例中,基站基于该信道状态信息配置的码本与下行传输实际最佳匹配的码本之间更加匹配。
可选的,第二参考信号的周期与第一参考信号的周期可以相同或不同。一种情况,第二参考信号的周期可大于第一参考信号的周期;另一种情况,第二参考信号的周期可以等于第一参考信号的周期;又一种情况,第二参考信号的周期小于第一参考信号的周期。可选的,第二参考信号的周期是协议预定义的或是信令配置的。

可选的,第一参考信号为探测参考信号SRS;第二参考信号为额外的探测参考信号(additional SRS)。所述第二参考信号可为周期性、非周期性、或半静态的SRS。

本申请实施例可应用于独立组网,即未来网络中部署的新的基站、回程链路以及核心网等通信***中,也可应用非独立组网等各种通信***中。
例如,本申请实施例可用于第五代(5th generation,5G)***,也可以称为新空口(new radio,NR)***,或者第六代(6th generation,6G)***或未来的其他通信***;或者还可用于设备到设备(device to device,D2D)***,机器到机器(machine to machine,M2M)***、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)***等等。
本申请实施例中,网络设备可为具有无线收发功能的设备或可设置于该设备的芯片,该网络设备包括但不限于:演进型节点B(evolved node B,eNB)、无线网络控制器(radio network controller,RNC)、节点B(Node B,NB)、网络设备控制器(base station controller,BSC)、网络设备收发台(base transceiver station,BTS)、家庭网络设备(例如,home evolved Node B,或home Node B,HNB)、基带单元(baseband unit,BBU),无线保真(wireless fidelity,WIFI)***中的接入点(access point,AP)、无线中继节点、无线回传节点、传输点(transmission and reception point,TRP或者transmission point,TP)等;还可以为5G、6G 甚至7G***中使用的设备,如NR***中的gNB,或传输点(TRP或TP),5G***中的网络设备的一个或一组(包括多个天线面板)天线面板,或者,还可以为构成gNB或传输点的网络节点,如基带单元(BBU),或,分布式单元(DU,distributed unit),或微微网络设备(Picocell),或毫微微网络设备(Femtocell),或,车联网(vehicle to everything,V2X)或者智能驾驶场景中的路侧单元(road side unit,RSU)。

可以理解的是,本申请实施例描述的通信***是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着***架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
请参见图1,图1是本申请实施例提供的一种通信***的示意图。如图1所示,该通信***以一个网络设备101、终端设备102和终端设备103为例。其中,该通信***中的通信包括上行通信、下行通信、D2D通信等等。在时分双工(time division duplex,TDD)的波束赋形模式下,利用上下行信道的互易性,上行传输中探测参考信号测量获得的信道状态信息,可用于计算下行波束赋形权值。
如图1所示,终端设备基于高层信令或物理层信令携带的参考信号配置信息,周期性的发送参考信号;网络设备接收这些参考信号并进行信道估计,获得网络设备101分别至终端设备102、终端设备103之间的信道状态信息。下行传输中,网络设备基于这些信道状态信息为终端设备配置预编码矩阵,以降低终端设备102与终端设备103的信道之间的干扰。
然而,如图2所示,假设终端设备发送SRS的周期为5ms,网络设备发送物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)的准备时延为4ms,那么D
R2P的最大值为9ms,即从SRS的发送时刻到PDSCH准备完毕的发送时刻之间的时延最大可达到9ms,而在这期间信道的老化,导致基于SRS测量获得的信道状态信息而配置的预编码矩阵与PDSCH发送时刻实际最佳匹配的预编码矩阵之间存在不匹配,进而导致上述干扰的抑制效果不佳。因此,如何获取瞬时信道状态信息成为一个亟待解决的问题。
为了解决该问题,本申请提供一种信道跟踪方法,该方法中,终端设备在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号,该第一参考信号和第二参考信号分别关联的天线端口相同,并且以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息。因此,该信道跟踪方法能够更加及时的跟踪信道的信道状态信息。
以下结合附图,对本申请实施例进一步阐述。
请参阅图3,图3是本申请实施例提供的一种信道跟踪方法的流程示意图。图3以终端设备与网络设备交互的角度进行阐述。如图3所示,该信道跟踪方法包括但不限于以下步骤:
201、终端设备根据参考信号配置信息,在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号;
202、网络设备根据参考信号配置信息,在第一参考信号的周期间接收第二参考信号;
203、网络设备根据第一参考信号和第二参考信号,以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息。
其中,参考信号配置信息包括参考信号的序列、端口和资源映射方式、参考信号的接收端估计以及参考信号的周期等参数。
步骤201中,第二参考信号是在第一参考信号的周期间发送或接收的,故第一参考信号与第二参考信号在时间上形成周期性的发送或接收。
例如,如图4A所示,假设第一参考信号和第二参考信号在所映射的时隙中所占的符号为该时隙的最后一个符号,带宽为4个资源块(resource block,RB),第一参考信号的周期为20个时隙(slot),第二参考信号被***到第一参考信号的周期中,并且第一参考信号、第二参考信号位于所映射的时隙中的最后一个符号上,如图4A所示,这样,第一参考信号和第二参考信号作为一个整体的发送周期为10个时隙,从而有利于更即时的跟踪信道的信道状态信息。
如图4A所示,第一参考信号的周期为20个slot,比如可映射的时隙分别是slot 0、slot 20;在第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号,如图4A所示,第二参考信号的周期为20个slot,如可映射的时隙分别是slot 10、slot 30;slot 0上映射的第一参考信号可与slot 10上映射的第二参考信号联合进行信道估计;或者slot 0上映射的第一参考信号、slot 10上映射的第二参考信号、slot 20上映射的第一参考信号以及slot 30上映射的第二参考信号联合进行信道估计,等等。
可选的,第一参考信号配置信息中的用法(usage)为额外(additional)时,终端设备可在第一参考信号的周期中***第二参考信号,即在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号。第二参考信号的周期可以协议规定或者进行信令配置,例如,通过协议规定或信令配置,使第二参考信号的周期等于第一参考信号的周期,或等于第一参考信号的周期的2倍等。
也就是说,第二参考信号的周期与第一参考信号的周期可以相同或不同。一种情况,第二参考信号的周期可大于第一参考信号的周期;另一种情况,第二参考信号的周期可以等于第一参考信号的周期;又一种情况,第二参考信号的周期小于第一参考信号的周期。可选的,第二参考信号的周期是协议预定义的或是信令配置的。
可选的,第一参考信号为探测参考信号SRS,第二参考信号可以为增强的SRS、额外的探测参考信号(additional SRS)、或增强的相位追踪参考信号(phase tracing reference signal,PTRS)。其中,增强的PTRS不同于通常的PTRS,该增强的PTRS用于与SRS进行联合信道估计,获得信道状态信息,而通常的PTRS用于对相位进行估计。
可选的,SRS配置信息中的用法(usage)为额外(additional)时,终端设备可在SRS的周期中***additional SRS,即在发送SRS的周期间发送additional SRS。Additional SRS的 周期可以协议规定或者进行信令配置,例如,通过协议规定或信令配置,使additional SRS周期等于SRS周期,或等于SRS周期的2倍等。
如图4B所示,SRS的周期为20个slot,比如可映射的时隙分别是slot 0、slot 20、slot 40、slot 60、slot 80;additional SRS的周期为40个slot,比如可映射的时隙分别是slot 10、slot 50、slot 90,在第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号,如图4B所示。
步骤203中,时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息是指该信道状态信息可基于时域上不同符号所分别映射的参考信号进行联合信道估计。
例如,如图5所示,图5是本申请实施例提供一种信道跟踪方法的示意图。假设第一参考信号为SRS,第二参考信号为额外参考信号(additional SRS),SRS的周期如图5所示为5ms,PDSCH的准备时延依旧为4ms,本申请实施例中,additional SRS可在SRS的周期间发送,这样,SRS与additional SRS作为整体的周期为2.5ms,并且如图4A所示的additional SRS与其之前的SRS分别关联的天线端口相同,且以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息,故图4A中导致信道老化的D
R2P的最大值为6.5ms,小于图2中的9ms,本申请实施例能够更即时的获得信道状态信息。
另一种可选的实施方式中,所述第二参考信号所映射的时隙与所述第一参考信号所映射的时隙不同;所述第二参考信号在所述第二参考信号所映射的时隙中的符号与所述第一参考信号在所述第一参考信号所映射的时隙中的符号不同。
即图4A中,第一参考信号与第二参考信号所映射的时隙不同,但在所映射的时隙中的符号相同,均为时隙中的最后一个符号。而图6中,如图6所示,第二参考信号可映射在slot10、slot 30的第二个符号上,第一参考信号可映射在一个slot 0、slot 20的最后一个或多个符号上。其中,第二参考信号在slot 10、slot 30的第二个符号或倒数第十三个符号上,可由RRC信令、MAC-CE信令或下行控制信令配置。
可见,该实施方式中,所述第二参考信号所映射的时隙与所述第一参考信号所映射的时隙不同,第二参考信号在所映射的时隙中的符号不受第一参考信号所映射的符号的限制。可选的,第二参考信号在所述第二参考信号所映射的时隙中的符号是由无线资源控制RRC信令、或媒体接入控制-控制元素MAC-CE信令、或下行控制信令配置的。
一种可选的实施方式中,第二参考信号所映射的时隙为上行时隙或灵活上下行时隙中。其中,第二参考信号在其所映射的时隙中的符号为上行传输的符号。例如,additional SRS位于上行时隙中放置物理上行共享信道(physical uplink share channel,PUSCH)的符号上。
可选的,本申请可应用于上行传输的离散傅里叶变换-扩展-正交频分复用(Discrete Fourier Transform-Spread OFDM,DFT-S-OFDM)技术,即在正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)的反向快速傅里叶变换(Invert Fast Fourier Transformation,IFFT)调制之前对信号进行离散傅里叶变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)扩展。请参阅图7,图7是本申请实施例提供的另一种信道跟踪方法的流程示意图。图7所示的信道跟踪方法与图3所示的信道跟踪方法的不同之处在于,图7中终端设备还需在上行传输进行离散傅里叶变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)扩展(spreading)之前(spreading)***第二参考信号的序列。如图7所示,该信道跟踪方法可包括但不限于以下步骤:
301、终端设备在离散傅里叶变换扩展之前的上行传输的采样中,以梳齿或组块的方式 ***第二参考信号的序列;
302、终端设备根据参考信号配置信息,在发送第一参考信号的周期间发送第二参考信号;
303、网络设备根据参考信号配置信息,接收第一参考信号的周期间接收第二参考信号;
304、网络设备根据第一参考信号和第二参考信号,以时域绑定方式联合估计信道状态信息。
其中,步骤302至304的相关内容可参见上述图3所述的相关内容,此处不再详述。
可选的,第一参考信号为频域展开的ZC(Zad-off Chu)序列,第二参考信号为在上行传输进行离散傅里叶变换(Discrete Fourier Transform,DFT)扩展(spreading)之前(spreading)***的参考信号,如pre-DFT insertion additional SRS。这样有利于在降低上行传输的峰值平均功率比(peak to average power ratio,PAPR)。由于第一参考信号是频域展开的ZC序列,并不是一个符号整列连续***的,比如可映射在符号中的奇数子载波或偶数子载波等,第二参考信号是在DFT spreading***的,可在一个符号的整列子载波中连续***,因此,第二参考信号与第一参考信号以时域绑定方式联合进行信道估计,能够获得整个带宽上的信道状态信息,与单纯增加SRS映射密度的方式相比,减少了SRS的导频开销,并提升所支持的测量上行信道状态信息的终端数量,有效降低上行传输的PAPR。
可选的,第二参考信号与上行传输复用同一个符号,即该符号上第二参考信号与上行传输可同时存在,或第二参考信号可位于所述上行传输的符号上。可选的,第二参考信号的序列可以以梳齿(comb)或组块(chunk)的方式***离散傅里叶变换扩展前的上行传输的采样中。
例如,如图8所示,第二参考信号的序列以comb方式***DFT扩展前的采样中,同一个符号上,第二参考信号与上行传输可同时存在。再例如,如图9所示,第二参考信号的序列以chunk方式***DFT扩展前的上行传输的采样中,同一个符号上,第二参考信号与上行传输可同时存在。
可选的,第二参考信号可以认为是额外的PTRS,可在非上行传输的资源块上存在。与PTRS不同的是,该第二参考信号用于与第一参考信号联合进行信道估计。
