Describe the concrete technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention in detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
A kind of channel quality feedback information acquisition system that the embodiment of the invention provides comprises base station and portable terminal, and wherein, portable terminal carries out the method flow diagram of channel quality information feedback to the base station, as shown in Figure 1a, comprises following concrete steps:
S101, portable terminal report this terminal to support to the base station frequency range ability.
For example, mobile LTE TDD Band 34 (2010-2025MHz), Band 39 (1880-1920MHz), Band 40 (2300-2400MHz) frequency range supported, or the carrier number of work when when terminal is supported carrier aggregation, on each frequency range, supporting, support simultaneously the work of three continuous 20MHz carrier waves such as Band 40.Portable terminal can be carried at the information of the frequency range ability of its support in the band support tabulation and send to the base station.
The frequency range feedback indication information that portable terminal is determined according to frequency range ability and the current network resource of frequency range of the support of mobile terminal reporting in S102, base station.
The base station can be in conjunction with the information of the frequency range ability of its support of mobile terminal reporting and the frequency range feedback indication information of current network resource of frequency range configuration portable terminal, and this frequency range feedback indication information feeds back channel quality on which or which frequency range in order to indicating mobile terminal.Concrete, the current network resource of frequency range can be that the base station is determined according to this residential quarter frequency range tenability, perhaps determines that according to current loading condition on each frequency range perhaps comprehensive both of these case is determined.Further, the current network resource of frequency range can also be determined according to the frequency range of neighbor cell configuration in the base station.For example, portable terminal is supported LTE TDD Band 34 (2010-2025MHz), Band 39 (1880-1920MHz), Band 40 (2300-2400MHz), Band 34 (2010-2025MHz), Band 39 (1880-1920MHz), Band40 (2300-2400MHz) also can be supported in the base station, but Band 39 is in the heavy duty situation at present, and in Neighboring Cell List, recorded the frequency range of Band 34 for the neighbor cell configuration, then only feedback channel quality information on Band 40 of this terminal is determined in the base station.
Further, be concrete some or a plurality of feedback frequency ranges (frequency range that this paper carries out the base station indicating mobile terminal channel-quality feedback is referred to as the feedback frequency range) of terminal configuration for the base station, feedback granularity indication information on the frequency range can also respectively be fed back for mobile terminal configuration in the base station, the granularity size that feedback granularity indication information feeds back in each feedback frequency range in order to indicating mobile terminal.Be specially, the base station can dispose according to the correlation bandwidth of the down channel of the feedback frequency range under the wireless environment feedback granularity indication information of this feedback frequency range; For example, if be operated in the terminal of 2300-2400MHz frequency range for certain, the correlation bandwidth of down channel can be determined according to certain method in the base station, and such as 1MHz, system bandwidth is 20MHz, and the base station can be configured to 2MHz with the feedback granularity of this terminal.In general, the feedback granularity is greater than correlation bandwidth, otherwise the feedback granularity is too accurate, will greatly increase up expense and terminal power consumption.In addition, can also consider feedback overhead and the power consumption of terminal, decide the size of feedback granularity.Can according to the more pre-defined typical granularity sizes of system bandwidth, utilize less bit resource indication feedback granularity size.
For TDD (Time Division Duplex, time division duplex) system, because uplink and downlink works is in same frequency range, has channel reciprocity, the correlation bandwidth that can be equivalent to down channel according to the correlation bandwidth of the pilot signal of up channel corresponding to feedback frequency range or the up channel that reference signal estimates, therefore, after the base station can estimate correlation bandwidth according to ascending pilot frequency/reference signal, directly determine the correlation bandwidth of down channel and then the feedback granularity indication information of definite portable terminal according to this correlation bandwidth that estimates; In addition, the TDD system also can obtain by the method for mobile terminal reporting the down channel correlation bandwidth (the method will in follow-up detailed introduction) of required feedback frequency range.
The correlation bandwidth that up channel is estimated according to pilot signal or the reference signal of up channel corresponding to feedback frequency range in the base station, specifically can be, draw the root mean square rms of up channel multidiameter delay according to the channel estimation results of uplink pilot signal or reference signal, utilize rms to calculate correlation bandwidth.For example, be 0.9 correlation bandwidth band_1 and 0.5 correlation bandwidth band_2 for correlation function, can calculate according to following formula 2,3 respectively:
band_1=0.02/rms (2)
band_2=0.09/rms (3)
For FDD (Frequency Division Duplex, Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)) system, because uplink and downlink works is at different frequency range, do not possess channel reciprocity, the correlation bandwidth that estimates according to ascending pilot frequency/reference signal and the correlation bandwidth of down channel generally have than big difference, therefore, the feedback granularity indication information that the correlation bandwidth that directly estimates according to ascending pilot frequency/reference signal is determined may be inaccurate, can adopt so following two kinds of methods to obtain the correlation bandwidth of down channel: the first is according to predefined modifying factor, basis is estimated the correlation bandwidth that obtains down channel after correlation bandwidth is revised in up channel pilot tone/reference signal, for example, can draw in the superior modifying factor in up correlation bandwidth basis the correlation bandwidth of down channel, modifying factor can draw by training; It two is the correlation bandwidth (the method will in follow-up detailed introduction) of the down channel of notice mobile terminal reporting feedback frequency range.
S103, base station send to portable terminal with the frequency range feedback indication information of configuration.
The base station sends to portable terminal with information after having determined the frequency range feedback indication information of portable terminal; Further, if described in base station such as the step S102 also for mobile terminal configuration respectively feed back feedback granularity indication information on the frequency range, then the base station can also send to portable terminal with the feedback granularity indication information that respectively feeds back on the frequency range of configuration.
S104, portable terminal are measured the channel quality of corresponding band according to the frequency range feedback indication information that receives.
Portable terminal is measured the channel quality of corresponding band after receiving frequency range feedback indication information.For example, the base station sends to the parameter of frequency range feedback indication information for feeding back at frequency range Band 40 of portable terminal, then portable terminal is measured (such as the signal to noise ratio of measuring channel, signal to noise ratio has reflected the quality of channel) to the channel quality of measuring on the frequency range Band 40.
Further, if the base station has also sent the feedback granularity indication information that respectively feeds back on the frequency range to portable terminal, then portable terminal also according to the feedback granularity indication information on each feedback frequency range, carries out channel quality measurement.For example, the granularity of feeding back in the 2300-2400MHz frequency range when the base station indicating terminal is the words that every 5MHz reports a channel quality information, then terminal is according to this granularity indication information, 100MHz bandwidth on this frequency range is divided into 20 frequency chunks, carries out channel quality measurement for each frequency chunks.
S105, portable terminal are to base station reporting measurement result.
Report to the base station at portable terminal after the measurement result of each feedback frequency range, the base station can determine with reference to the channel quality measurements of mobile terminal reporting the scheduling of network side resource.
Report to the base station at portable terminal before measurement result of each feedback frequency range, portable terminal can also carry out smoothing processing on time domain or the frequency domain to measurement result; Perhaps, smoothing processing on time domain or the frequency domain is carried out to measurement result after receiving the measurement result of each feedback frequency range of mobile terminal reporting in the base station; Thereby reduce rapid fading and bursty interference to the impact of measurement result, raising reports precision, perhaps reduces reporting expense.Specifically can adopt following smoothing processing method:
Method one: time domain smoothing processing
Can utilize the forgetting factor method that the measurement result on the different time points is carried out smoothing processing.For example, adopt formula 1 to obtain level and smooth result:
RS(n)=α·RS(n-1)+(1-α)·RS(n) (1)
Wherein, RS (n) is portable terminal to certain or some RB (Resource block, Resource Block) or carrier wave when time measurement result, RS (n) is the level and smooth effective value that when inferior measurement result carry out smoothing processing after obtain of portable terminal to certain or some RB (or carrier wave), RS (n-1) carries out the level and smooth effective value that obtains after the smoothing processing, weighted factor and 0≤α≤1 of α for arranging for portable terminal to the front measurement result of certain or some RB (or carrier wave).If because of the factors such as interference cause when time measurement result excessive or too small, so by such smoothing processing, can so that when time measurement result closer to a rational measurement result scope, thereby reduce rapid fading and bursty interference to the impact of measurement result.
Method two:
The different RB that Frequency Fading Properties can be associated or the measurement result on the carrier wave average, the measurement result after processing as frequency domain smoothing.If the smoothing processing of frequency domain was carried out before the reporting measurement result by portable terminal, the measurement result that the measurement result after then portable terminal can be processed frequency domain smoothing substitutes a plurality of RB or carrier wave reports, thereby reduces the expense of feedback resources.
The concrete grammar of the correlation bandwidth of the base station notice mobile terminal reporting down channel of mentioning among the above-mentioned steps S102, flow chart comprises following concrete steps shown in Fig. 1 b:
S110, base station send the indication that reports down channel correlation bandwidth to portable terminal.
S111, portable terminal are estimated the channel multi-path time delay according to down channel pilot tone or reference signal in the regular hour window according to the indication that the base station sends.
S112, portable terminal calculate down channel correlation bandwidth according to the down channel multidiameter delay of estimating.
Specifically can be that portable terminal calculates correlation bandwidth according to the root mean square rms of the down channel multidiameter delay of estimating.For example, be 0.9 correlation bandwidth band_1 and 0.5 correlation bandwidth band_2 for correlation function, can calculate according to following formula 4,5 respectively:
band_1=0.02/rms (4)
band_2=0.09/rms (5)
S113, portable terminal report the correlation bandwidth of the down channel of calculating to the base station.
Thereby the base station can be mobile terminal configuration feedback granularity indication information according to the correlation bandwidth of the down channel that reports.
Above-mentioned channel-quality feedback step S101-S105 both can be periodically to carry out also can right and wrong to carry out periodically, can be configured by the base station.If periodically carry out, then channel quality feedback cycles can to carry out cycle of scheduling of resource consistent or inconsistent with base station side, and generally speaking, feedback cycle can be longer than dispatching cycle.
