Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing the specific embodiment of the present invention is described.
The inventor notices in the invention process, at present, the R-PCFICH of backhaul link and R-PDCCH channel have two kinds of TDM (Time Division Multiplexing, time division multiplexing) mode and FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing) modes.The particular location of R-PCFICH and resource size are that eNB prenotices to relaying, are relatively more static configurations.Fig. 3 is the R-PDCCH channel region schematic diagram under the FDM mode, Fig. 4 is the R-PDCCH channel region schematic diagram under the TDM mode, in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, PDSCH is the Physical Downlink Shared Channel in the LTE-A system, R-PDSCH (Relay-Physical Downlink Shared Channel, relaying-Physical Downlink Shared Channel) is the Physical Downlink Shared Channel to the relaying transmission in the backhaul link.
As shown in Figure 3, the FDM mode is R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH in the backhaul link, and PDSCH is mutual FDM's.In Fig. 3, R-PDCCH takies the PRB (physical resource block, Physical Resource Block) of a plurality of system configuration, and its pilot tone can use the public guide frequency of LTE to get final product.When R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH and PDSCH are under the situation of FDM, this moment, R-PCFICH only needed to indicate the frequency domain position of R-PDCCH get final product, because the number of symbols that takies of R-PDCCH is fixed at this moment.
As shown in Figure 4, the TDM mode is that R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH are TDM in the backhaul link, and they and PDSCH are FDM.For the R-PDCCH demodulation, can be in order to guarantee it by a plurality of relayings whiles, correct detecting, its pilot tone must be a public guide frequency.And the time-domain symbol number that the R-PCFICH of this moment not only indicates R-PDCCH, the frequency bandwidth of also indicating R-PDCCH to take.
In real system, can fast detecting arrive R-PCFICH in order to guarantee relaying, R-PCFICH is generally semi-static or static configuration, and promptly its position and size all are relatively more fixing.In the case, the position of R-PCFICH probably with position and not of uniform size the causing of R-PDCCH.The consistent bandwidth that refers to the frequency domain that takies is identical, general R-PCFICH only takies several RE (Resource Element, Resource Unit), but R-PDCCH can take several PRB, if the RE that R-PCFICH takies just in time is evenly distributed in the zone of R-PDCCH, then think consistent in this application.But because the area size of R-PCFICH is smaller, and the R-PDCCH region occupied is bigger, and the on all four situation in position is more rare.
Based on this, under inconsistent situation, provide the Channel Processing scheme of backhaul control channel in the embodiment of the invention, concrete, be used to handle the problem of the channel estimating of R-PCFICH and R-PDCCH.
In order clearly to show embodiments of the present invention, with respectively from eNB, describe with the enforcement of trunk side.
Fig. 5 is the channel processing method implementing procedure schematic diagram of eNB side backhaul control channel, as shown in the figure, and the processing procedure that can comprise the steps in the eNB side:
Step 501, eNB determine the resource location information that R-PCFICH and R-PDCCH take;
Step 502, eNB send indication information at R-PCFICH to relaying, and corresponding pilot signal, the resource location that described indication information indication R-PDCCH takies;
Step 503, eNB send Downlink Control Information at R-PDCCH to relaying.
In the enforcement,, eNB is separated in the step that each channel sends information in order to clearly illustrate that the relation between each feature more, but this does not represent it is that the sequential of representing set by step sends, in fact, when each channel sends information, be to send by the running time-frequency resource that disposes.
In the enforcement, when R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH and PDSCH employing FDM, the resource location information that described indication information indication R-PDCCH takies comprises frequency domain position;
As R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH employing TDM, when R-PDCCH and R-PDSCH and PDSCH adopted FDM, the resource location information that described indication information indication R-PDCCH takies comprised the time-domain symbol number of R-PDCCH and the frequency bandwidth that R-PDCCH takies.
Also can the enforcement of eNB side be described below.
Fig. 6 is the channel processing method implementing procedure schematic diagram of trunk side backhaul control channel, as shown in the figure, and the processing procedure that can comprise the steps at trunk side:
Step 601, determine the resource location of R-PCFICH;
Step 602, use public guide frequency in the R-PCFICH frequency band that R-PCFICH is carried out channel estimating according to the resource location of R-PCFICH to obtain the first channel estimating information;
Step 603, according to first channel estimation results R-PCFICH is detected the back and obtain the R-PDCCH resource location;
Step 604, use public guide frequency that R-PDCCH is carried out channel estimating according to the resource location of R-PDCCH to obtain the second channel estimated information;
Step 605, R-PDCCH is detected according to the second channel estimated information.
In the enforcement, the public guide frequency in the R-PCFICH frequency band be with R-PCFICH with public guide frequency frequency band, nearest, in the relaying zone, describedly be meant that recently frequency domain is identical, or, the identical or adjacent symbol of time domain.
When step 601 is determined the resource location information of R-PCFICH, can be to determine according to the indication information of preset configuration and/or the eNB that receives, be according to preset configuration or indication or the combination of the two, configuration that can viewing system and deciding is static or semi-static such as the system configuration of R-PCFICH.
In step 604, the public guide frequency that R-PDCCH is carried out channel estimating can be: the pilot tone in the R-PDCCH frequency band, or the pilot tone of full bandwidth, improve it with this and detect performance.
In step 602,604, the pattern of the public guide frequency that is adopted can be selected the public guide frequency pattern of LTE system in force for use.
Also can the enforcement of trunk side be described below.
Adopt the reason of such scheme to be, for R-PCFICH, because relaying can be known its particular location in advance, and the same frequency band of R-PCFICH is the resource of relaying substantially, or is R-PDSCH, or is R-PDCCH, therefore can dispose public guide frequency for R-PCFICH certainly, therefore, utilize with R-PCFICH and just can carry out the channel estimating of R-PCFICH, and detect R-PCFICH with public guide frequency frequency band, nearest, in the relaying zone.After detecting R-PCFICH, just can obtain the resource location information that concrete R-PDCCH comprises size and position, at this moment, just can carry out the channel estimating of the public guide frequency of R-PDCCH intra-zone, and then demodulate the control information on the R-PDCCH.
Concrete, system is that R-PCFICH has disposed public guide frequency, and this public guide frequency should be: with R-PCFICH with public guide frequency frequency band, nearest, in the relaying zone, it is identical to refer to frequency domain recently, the identical or adjacent symbol of time domain.And the relaying zone is meant R-PCFICH, R-PDCCH, these several zones of R-PDSCH.
Can draw by above-mentioned analysis that programme element is in the invention process: according to the different resource of R-PCFICH in the system and R-PDCCH channel occupancy, carry out channel estimating in two steps: the first step, only detect R-PCFICH, promptly the pilot tone in R-PCFICH zone is carried out channel estimating; In second step, R-PDCCH is carried out channel estimating, and then detect concrete R-PDCCH information.
