Background technology
Long Term Evolution (LTE) system supports Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) (FDD) and two kinds of dual-modes of time division duplex (TDD), and two kinds of dual-modes use different frame structures.Wherein, Equations of The Second Kind frame structure (FS2) is only applicable to LTE TDD system.Referring to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is that in prior art, the uplink and downlink switching cycle is Equations of The Second Kind frame structure schematic diagram in the system of 5ms.Each radio frames is made of the long field (half-frame) of two 5ms.
It is the system of 5ms for the uplink and downlink switching cycle; each field comprises subframe (subframe) and 3 special time slots (special slot) that 4 1ms are long: descending pilot frequency time slot (DwPTS; DownlinkPilot Time Slot), protection interval (GP; Guard Period) and uplink pilot time slot (UpPTS; UplinkPilot Time Slot), the overall length of these 3 special time slots is 1ms.
Be the system of 10ms for the uplink and downlink switching cycle, first field comprises subframe that 4 1ms are long and 3 special time slot: DwPTS, GP and UpPTS; Second field only has the long subframe of 5 1ms.
Wherein, the length of special time slot is configurable, and DwPTS is reserved as downlink transfer forever.Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is the structural representation of DwPTS time slot in prior art.Front 1~2 OFDM symbol in the DwPTS time slot is Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) Free Region, is used for transmitting downlink control signal; 72 central subcarriers on its 3rd OFDM symbol always are used for transmission for the master sync signal that carries out cell initial search (cell serach).Except Physical Broadcast Channel (PBCH), the idling-resource that any downlink business all can take on this time slot transmits, as physical down shared service channel (PDSCH), Physical Broadcast Channel (PMCH) etc.
Table 1 is the configuring condition list of special time slot.Table 1 has provided the various configuring conditions of DwPTS, and in regular circulation prefix (CP) subframe, 1 OFDM symbol lengths is 2192Ts, comprises altogether 14 OFDM symbols in whole subframe; In expansion CP subframe, the length of 1 OFDM symbol is 2560Ts, comprises altogether 12 OFDM symbols in whole subframe.Can find out, for conventional CP subframe, DwPTS may take 3,9,10,11 or 12 OFDM symbols; In expansion CP subframe, DwPTS may take 3,8,9 or 10 OFDM symbols.For any subframe, if DwPTS only takies 3 OFDM symbols, do not transmit other downlink business in this time slot; When DwPTS takies more than 3 OFDM symbols, can utilize idling-resource to transmit other downlink business.
Table 1
The support of LTE system advances to have more (MIMO) technology more, as beam shaping (BF) technology.Transmission has following regulation for the downlink wave beam excipient in the LTE system:
Beam shaping user user dedicated reference symbols (UE-specific reference signals) demodulation PDSCH;
User dedicated reference symbols only is mapped in excipient and transmits in the Resource Block that uses;
User dedicated reference symbols only takies an antenna port (being antenna port 5) and shines upon;
High level needs notification terminal whether to use user dedicated reference symbols (namely whether carrying out beamforming transmission);
When carrying out beamforming transmission, the residential quarter dedicated reference symbols on reserved port 0,1 (Cell-specificreference signals), the residential quarter dedicated reference symbols on port 2,3 is no longer available;
Support the downstream signal transmission of two kinds of frequency diversity degree, that is: the frequency hopping transmission take time slot as unit of Nd=1 centralized (Localized) transmission and Nd=2, and during localized transmission, channel estimating is carried out on a subframe, and frequency hopping when transmission channel estimating is carried out on a frequency hopping unit.
Wherein, above-mentioned residential quarter dedicated reference symbols transmits in each descending sub frame, covers the whole system bandwidth on frequency domain, in time across whole descending sub frame; User dedicated reference symbols only transmits in the data division in distributing to the user and carry out the Physical Resource Block (PRB) of beam shaping.When user dedicated reference symbols and residential quarter dedicated reference symbols exist in same subframe, both adopt certain mode to carry out multiplexing, as shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B.
Referring to Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 A is the frequency hopping when transmission user dedicated reference symbols mapping structure schematic diagram that is applicable to conventional CP subframe.In conventional CP subframe, a subframe comprises 14 OFDM symbols.In Fig. 3 A, netted little lattice represent residential quarter dedicated reference symbols, R

52The user (be referred to as user 2) of expression except user 1 dedicated reference symbols.In the band segment of system bandwidth, user 1 dedicated reference symbols is mapped in first time slot (Slot 0) in PRB; In other band segments of system bandwidth, user 1 dedicated reference symbols is mapped in second time slot (Slot 1) in PRB.In different frequency, the position of user dedicated reference symbols mapping is different, realizes timeslot-based frequency hopping.
Referring to Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 B is user dedicated reference symbols mapping structure schematic diagram when being applicable to expand the frequency hopping transmission of CP subframe.In expansion CP subframe, a subframe comprises 12 OFDM symbols.In Fig. 3 B, netted little lattice represent residential quarter dedicated reference symbols, R

52The user (be referred to as user 2) of expression except user 1 dedicated reference symbols.In the band segment of system bandwidth, user 1 dedicated reference symbols is mapped in first time slot (Slot 0) in PRB; In other band segments of system bandwidth, user 1 dedicated reference symbols is mapped in second time slot (Slot 1) in PRB.In different frequency, the position of user dedicated reference symbols mapping is different, realizes timeslot-based frequency hopping.
There are following two defectives in the method for above-mentioned frequency hopping transmission take time slot as unit: (1) is for conventional CP subframe, when 9 OFDM symbols of DwPTS configuration, owing to there is no user dedicated reference symbols in Slot 1, make to adopt user dedicated reference symbols to carry out channel estimating this moment, just normally demodulation of the data in Slot 1.(2) for the situation of user dedicated reference symbols is arranged in two Slot, also exist the problem of reference symbol irrational distribution, cause on former and later two time slots performance difference larger.Above-mentioned two defectives all can affect the detection performance of system.
