Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments method of the present invention is elaborated.
Mainly be that large bandwidth, two-forty, feedback delay are little in the user's request of hot zones; The translational speed of terminal is very low, is mainly the scenes such as fixing and nomadic; The hot zones area coverage is less, and multidiameter delay expansion is little, thereby disturbed condition is lighter mutually between two hot zones.
The optimizing time division multiplexing frame structure parameters method of the embodiment of the invention, characteristics for above-mentioned hot zones, do not change the tdd frame structure of LTE communication system, by shortening the CP length of OFDM symbol, after time slot or subframe, introduce protection interval GP, namely can increase neatly as requested the number of times that the up-downgoing in the radio frames is switched, shorten feedback delay; Further, in the situation that do not increase control signal, the different parameters that terminal detects and judgement system adopts is so that the LTE communication system can realize easily, by flexible adjustment frame structure parameter raising communication system performance.
With reference to Fig. 1, be the frame structure schematic diagram of existing LTE TDD:
LTE TDD radio frames length is 10ms, and each radio frames is made of the long field (half-frame) of two 5ms.Each field comprises subframe and 3 special time slot: DwPTS (Downlink Pilot Timeslot that 4 1ms are long; descending pilot frequency time slot), GP (protection interval) and UpPTS (uplink pilot time slot), the overall length of 3 special time slots is 1ms.Wherein, the length of special time slot is configurable, and subframe 0 and subframe 5 and DwPTS are reserved as downlink transfer forever, except broadcast channel, the idling-resource that any downlink business all can take on this DwPTS time slot or the subframe 6 transmits, such as PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, physical down link sharing channel), PMCH (physical multicast channel, Physical Multicast Channel) etc.Each subframe lengths is 1ms, is divided into two time slots, and each slot length is 0.5ms, each time slot can be divided into again 7 OFDM symbols, and each OFDM symbol lengths is 66.67us, and a cyclic prefix CP is arranged before the OFDM symbol, length is 4.79us, shown in Fig. 2 (a).
In embodiments of the present invention, for the scene such as fixing and nomadic, by reducing the length of CP, in the situation that guarantee that LTE tdd frame structure length is constant, correspondingly, can after time slot or subframe, increase GP, and make the total length of GP of increase identical with the total length of the CP of shortening, namely keep the length of tdd frame structure constant, guarantee the flexibility of up-downgoing resource distribution with this.Particularly, the GP that increases can be placed on respectively each time slot after, and the GP length that increases behind each time slot is identical, shown in Fig. 2 (b), CP length becomes 3.125us, GP length is 11.84us; Also the GP of described increase can be concentrated be placed on each subframe after, and the GP length that increases after each subframe is identical, this moment, GP length was 22.87us, shown in Fig. 2 (c).
In existing LTE TDD system, lower/upper row switching point has two kinds of situations, and a kind of is that 5ms switches once, and a kind of is that 10ms switches once.If keep a GP behind each time slot, this configuration can keep slot length and subframe lengths and original system to be consistent, and is conducive to the compatibility of system; GP concentrated be positioned over the last of each subframe, at this moment, time slot can not align with the time slot in the original LTE tdd frame structure, but subframe can align with the subframe in the LTE tdd frame structure, length is 1ms.As seen, no matter be after the GP that will increase is placed on respectively each time slot, or with the GP that increases concentrate be placed on each subframe after, all can be so that uplink downlink resource granularity have diminished, thus be conducive to the flexible dispatching of system.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a kind of communication means, this communication means is adjustable based on the frame structure parameter of different scenes, and make terminal can according to descending synchronous signal channel know the frame structure parameter that adopts of the cell system that accesses, thereby can adjust the frame structure parameter of oneself according to this frame structure parameter, realize the operation of up-downgoing data transmit-receive.
With reference to Fig. 3, be a kind of realization flow of embodiment of the invention communication means, mainly may further comprise the steps:
Step 301; when terminal is in hot zones; adjust in the following manner the frame structure of described terminal access cell system: the length of the cyclic prefix CP of the orthogonal frequency division multiplex OFDM symbol of shortening subframe; after time slot or subframe, increase simultaneously protection interval GP, and make the total length of GP of increase identical with the total length of the CP of shortening.
Concrete adjustment mode has a detailed description in front, does not repeat them here.
Step 302, terminal is determined frame structure parameter after described access cell system is adjusted according to the master sync signal that receives with from the time domain side-play amount between the synchronizing signal;
Step 303, terminal is according to the parameter that transmits and receives of the frame structure parameter adjustment oneself of determining;
Step 304, terminal is according to the sending and receiving that parameter is carried out data communication that transmits and receives after adjusting.
The channel of LTE TDD communication system can be divided into synchronizing channel, broadcast channel, uplink/downlink control channel and up-downgoing shared channel.Wherein:
Synchronizing channel is used for transmitting terminal access residential quarter, carries out residential quarter selection and the most important system information of reuse adoption process, need to just can finish down-going synchronous before receiving broadcast channel, in order to correctly judge the position of broadcast channel, understands the operation of broadcasting.
Broadcast channel is used for essential information with system and sends to all users in this residential quarter, broadcast channel major concern covering performance, be that as much as possible UE can correctly receive broadcast message in the cell coverage area, broadcast message mainly comprises system bandwidth, number of transmission antennas, System Frame Number, public resource configuration information, adjacent cell information etc.
Uplink/downlink control channel is used for sending user resources and distributes, adjusts coded system and HARQ (HybridAutomatic Repeat Request, mixed automatic retransfer) relevant information etc.
The up-downgoing shared channel is the running time-frequency resource that each user's business takies.
Because terminal is before receiving descending synchronous signal channel and do not know to access the frame structure parameter of cell system, therefore in the communication means of the embodiment of the invention terminal according to the information in the descending synchronous signal channel, obtain the frame structure parameter of access cell system, and then can be according to the sending and receiving parameter of this frame structure parameter adjustment oneself, finish the reception of broadcast channel, and carry out reception and the transmission of data according to this parameter.
In above-mentionedsteps 302, terminal need to be determined frame structure parameter after described access cell system is adjusted according to the master sync signal that receives with from the time domain side-play amount between the synchronizing signal, is elaborated below with reference to the position view of synchronizing channel in frame structure in the LTE TDD shown in Figure 4 system.
In the LTE standard, stipulate, PSCH (Primary Synchronization Channel, primary synchronization channel) is placed on the 3rd symbol among the DwPTS, and SSCH (Secondary SynchronizationChannel, from synchronizing channel) be placed on last OFDM symbol of subframe #0, as shown in Figure 4.Because the difference of CP length, can cause PSCH different from side-play amount between the SSCH.Wherein, what Fig. 4 (a) represented is the situation of long CP, and CP length is 16.67us; What Fig. 4 (b) represented is the situation of common CP, and CP length is 4.7568us; What Fig. 4 (c) represented is the situation of short CP, and CP length is 3.125us, and a GP is arranged behind each time slot, and GP length is 11.84us; What Fig. 4 (d) represented is the situation of short CP, and CP length is 3.125us, but a larger GP is arranged after each subframe, and GP length is 22.87us.
Therefore can calculate respectively the time domain side-play amount between the PSCH and SSCH in above-mentioned four kinds of situations, please refer to Fig. 4, the time offset of PSCH and SSCH by between the two CP quantity and symbol quantity addition calculation out obtains each side-play amount as follows:
(a) 3 OFDM symbol+3 in PSCH and SSCH interval long CP, and the length of OFDM symbol and long CP is known, therefore obtains offset0=250us;
(b) 3 OFDM symbol+3 in PSCH and SSCH interval normal CP obtains offset1=214.59us;
(c) 3 OFDM symbol+3 in PSCH and SSCH interval normal CP+1 short GP obtains offset2=221.22us;
(d) 3 OFDM symbol+3 in PSCH and SSCH interval normal CP+1 long GP obtains offset3=233us.
By above-mentioned result of calculation as can be known, the minimum interval between four side-play amounts is 6.63us.
The below illustrates the process of judging the argument structure of current system by the time domain side-play amount between detection PSCH and the SSCH based on above-mentioned these four kinds of situations:
At first, detect the position of PSCH, the PSCH channel has 3 sequences, the possible transmitting terminal signal of PSCH that prestores by terminal carries out relevant treatment with the continuous signal take radio frames as unit (comprise data-signal in the signal of these receptions and also comprise synchronizing channel) that receives, the PSCH signal that prestores such as use calculates with the reception signal: two each element difference conjugate multiplication of sequence, again with each product addition, will with namely obtain correlation divided by sequence length, if two sequence quadratures, correlation is 0, two very large then correlations of Serial relation degree are tending towards 1, described calculating can realize by matched filter, when receiving signal by matched filter, can a higher relevant peaks occur in the position at PSCH place, thereby obtain the time-domain position of PSCH;
Then, detect the position of SSCH, the SSCH channel has 504 sequences, enterprising line correlation detects the signal of the SSCH that prestores by terminal in the position of side-play amount 0 shown in Figure 4, side-play amount 1, side-play amount 2, side-play amount 3 respectively, record each correlation on the different offset location, can obtain the side-play amount at maximum related value place, this side-play amount has been indicated system [CP, GP] parameter.
With reference to figure 4 (a)~(d), the configuration parameter correspondence of each [CP, GP] a kind of unique PSCH-SSCH side-play amount, be to concern one to one.Therefore, if known the side-play amount of PSCH-SSCH, so corresponding [CP, GP] parameter can be learnt.
Certainly, except above-mentioned detection method, according to the practical application needs, can also adopt additive method to obtain [CP, GP] parameter, the present invention also not only is confined to above-mentioned this concrete detection method.
Like this, terminal just can be adjusted according to the system frame structure parameter that detects the parameter that transmits and receives of oneself.Such as, terminal determines at first that when doing down-going synchronous the time at PSCH place is t0; Then carry out the detection of SSCH, suppose that the position of the maximum correlation peak appearance of discovery SSCH is t1, obtain both time deviation amount offset=t0-t1.Following several situation is arranged:
(1) if the time deviation amount offset that obtains is in the less neighborhood of offset0=250us, such as, offset0 ± 2us so just can judge, and system parameters is shown in Fig. 4 (a), and CP length is long CP, without increasing GP;
(2) if the time deviation amount offset that obtains is in the less neighborhood of offset1=214.59us, such as offset1 ± 2us, so just can judge, system parameters is shown in Fig. 4 (b), and CP length is common CP, without increasing GP;
(3) if the time deviation amount offset that obtains is in the less neighborhood of offset2=221.22us, such as offset2 ± 2us, so just can judge, system parameters is shown in Fig. 4 (c), short CP, CP length is 3.125us, and there is a GP each time slot back, and GP length is 11.84us;
(4) if the time deviation amount offset that obtains is in the less neighborhood of offset3=233us, such as offset3 ± 2us, so just can judge, system parameters is shown in Fig. 4 (d), short CP, CP length is 3.125us, and there is a larger GP each subframe back, and GP length is 22.87us.
Terminal is according to the reception that parameter is finished broadcast channel that transmits and receives after adjusting, and then can carry out according to this parameter reception and the transmission of data.
