Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to the field of wireless communication, and in particular to an electronic device in a wireless communication system and a method for wireless communication in a wireless communication system.

Background

This section provides background information related to the present disclosure, which is not necessarily prior art.

With the development of wireless communication technology, spectrum resources are more and more tense, and existing research shows that the resource utilization rate of the allocated authorized spectrum is generally low, so how to improve the spectrum utilization rate is an urgent problem to be solved. Cognitive radio is an intelligent evolution of software radio technology, in which Secondary Users (SUs) accessing the spectrum in an "opportunistic manner" can intelligently use the free spectrum and avoid interfering with Primary Users (PUs) that have licensed bands, which use the licensed bands with the highest priority, by sensing and analyzing the spectrum. When the primary user wants to use the authorized frequency band, the secondary user needs to stop using the frequency spectrum in time and give up the channel to the primary user. The introduction of the cognitive radio technology can greatly improve the problem of spectrum resource shortage.

However, in the cognitive radio system, since different modulation signals are transmitted in the same frequency band, signals transmitted by the secondary users may interfere with the primary users in the same frequency band, and therefore, when allocating a spectrum, the secondary users need to consider the influence on the primary users, that is, the spectrum used by the primary users cannot be used, so that the spectrum resources that can be used by the secondary users are very limited. On the other hand, secondary users of neighboring systems may share spectrum, which may create interference.

NOMA (Non-orthogonal multiple access) is also a key technology for improving the spectrum utilization rate. The basic idea of NOMA is to actively introduce Interference information by using non-orthogonal transmission at a transmitting end, and to realize correct demodulation at a receiving end by Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC). While this design may increase the complexity of the receiver, it may well improve the spectrum utilization.

The present invention proposes a non-orthogonal spectrum sharing method, which expands the basic idea of NOMA to be applied to a wireless communication system comprising one or more cells, especially a cognitive radio system, so as to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

Detailed Description

Examples of the present disclosure will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses.

Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms, and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In certain example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.

The UE (User Equipment) related to the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, a mobile terminal, a computer, a vehicle-mounted device, and other terminals having a wireless communication function. Further, depending on the specifically described functionality, the UE to which the present disclosure relates may also be the UE itself or a component therein, such as a chip. Further, similarly, a base station referred to in the present disclosure may be, for example, an eNB or a component such as a chip in an eNB. Furthermore, the technical solution of the present disclosure may be used in, for example, an FDD (Frequency Division duplex) system and a TDD (Time Division duplex) system.

Fig. 1(a) is a schematic diagram illustrating one scenario of non-orthogonal spectrum sharing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1(a), in a wireless communication system, there exists a cell whose serving base station is a BS, in which there exists a first user equipment SU₁And a second user equipment SU₂. When data transmission is performed between the BS and the ue, the ue receives data transmitted by the BS to other ues, which results in data interference to the ue. Similar interference problems are also encountered when the user equipment transmits data to the BS. Taking the downlink transmission as an example, when the BS transmits to the SU₁When transmitting data, SU₁May receive a BS to SU₂Downstream data transmitted, so that the BS transmits to the SU₂Transmitted downlink data pair SU₁Causing interference.

If it is used h₁Denotes BS and SU₁Channel coefficient between, h₂Denotes BS and SU₂The channel coefficient of (c) to (d). s₁Represents SU₁Of the downstream signal s₂Represents SU₂Downstream signal of (2), x₁Represents SU₁Upstream signal of, x₂Represents SU₂The uplink signal of (2). Then in the downlink transmission, SU₁Received signal y_SU1And SU₂Received signal y_SU2Respectively as follows:

similarly, in uplink transmission, the BS receives a signal y_BSComprises the following steps:

y_BS＝x₁*h₁+x₂*h₂ (3)

it can be seen that, in uplink transmission in a wireless communication system (single system) having one cell, a desired signal and an interference signal reach a receiving end through different channels; in downlink transmission, the desired signal and the interference signal reach the receiving end through the same channel.

In order to avoid data interference between different user equipments, different user equipments may use different frequency spectrums or different powers for transmission. To this end, in this scenario, NOMA may be used to achieve non-orthogonal spectrum sharing. Taking downlink transmission as an example, the transmitter of the BS uses the same spectrally different power to transmit to the SU₁And SU₂Transmitting data and converting channel information h₁And h₂Is sent to SU₁And SU₂. For example, the BS employs high power to the SU₁Transmitting data to SU at low power₂And sending the data. At the receiving end, SU₁Directly demodulate the data signal, while SU₂First, the interference signal is demodulated, and thus the data signal is determined. The procedure for uplink transmission is similar. In the process of data demodulation by SU1 and SU2, it can be ensured that SU1 and SU2 can demodulate data signals and interference signals correctly only when the difference between the data signals and the interference signals is large enough to make the data signals and/or the interference signals received at the receiving end meet the demodulation requirement.

The waveform parameters are filter parameters assigned to the transmitter, which, like the power adjustment factor, are parameters at the transmitting end that can affect the power of the signal generated at the transmitting end. Therefore, if the waveform parameters of the transmitting end can be reasonably adjusted so that the difference of the signals received at the receiving end is large enough, the receiving end can correctly demodulate the data signals.

That is, in a single system, by reasonably setting parameters of a transmitting end, such as waveform parameters and/or power adjustment factors, the same spectrum resources can be allocated to different user equipments located in the same cell, thereby realizing spectrum resource sharing.

Fig. 1(b) is a schematic diagram illustrating another scenario of non-orthogonal spectrum sharing according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1(b), two adjacent cells exist in the wireless communication system: first cell SS₁And a second cell SS₂Cell SS₁The base station is BS₁Cell SS₂The base station is BS₂In cell SS₁In presence of a first user equipment SU₁In cell SS₂In presence of a second user equipment SU₂Subscriber SU₁And SU₂Are located at the edge of the respective cell. SU₁Can be connected with BS₁For uplink and downlink transmission, SU₂Can be connected with BS₂And carrying out uplink and downlink transmission.

In the course of downlink transmission, the BS₁To SU₁Transmitting data signals, BS₂To SU₂The data signal is transmitted. In this process, due to SU₁And SU₂At the cell edge, therefore SU₁Will receive the message from the BS₂Interference signal of, SU₂Will also receive a message from the BS₁The interference signal of (2). Suppose BS₁And SU₁Has a channel coefficient of h_1,1，BS₂And SU₂Has a channel coefficient of h_2,2，BS₁And SU₂Has a channel coefficient of h_2,1，BS₂And SU₁Has a channel coefficient of h_1,2By S₁Represents BS₁Of the downstream data signal, S₂Represents BS₂Of the downstream data signal, y_SU1Represents SU₁Received signal, y_SU2Represents SU₂The received signal has the followingThe following formula:

in the uplink transmission process, SU₁To BS₁Transmitting data signals, SU₂To BS₂The data signal is transmitted. In this process, due to SU₁And SU₂At the cell edge, therefore BS₂Will receive a message from SU₁Of the interference signal, BS₁Will also receive a signal from SU₂The interference signal of (2). Suppose BS₁And SU₁Has a channel coefficient of h_1,1，BS₂And SU₂Has a channel coefficient of h_2,2，BS₁And SU₂Has a channel coefficient of h_2,1，BS₂And SU₁Has a channel coefficient of h_1,2By x₁Represents SU₁Upstream data signal of x₂Represents SU₂Of the upstream data signal, y_BS1Represents BS₁Received signal, y_BS2Represents BS₂The received signal has the following formula:

in a wireless communication system (multi-system) having a plurality of cells, similarly to the case of the single system, if a parameter of a transmitting end, such as a waveform parameter or a power adjustment factor, can be adjusted reasonably so that a difference between a data signal and an interference signal received at a receiving end satisfies a demodulation requirement, the SU₁And SU₂The same spectrum resources can be used.

In view of the above technical problems, a technical solution according to the present disclosure is proposed. Fig. 2 illustrates a structure of an electronic device 200 in a wireless communication system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, the electronic device 200 may include processing circuitry 210. The electronic device 200 may include one processing circuit 210, or may include a plurality of processing circuits 210. In addition, the electronic apparatus 200 may further include a communication unit 220 or the like as a transceiver.

Further, the processing circuit 210 may include various discrete functional units to perform various functions and/or operations. It should be noted that these functional units may be physical entities or logical entities, and that units called differently may be implemented by the same physical entity.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, the processing circuit 210 may include an acquisition unit 211, a setting unit 212, and an allocation unit 213.

In the electronic device 200 shown in fig. 2, the obtaining unit 211 may obtain the location information and the waveform parameter information of the first user equipment in the wireless communication system in which the electronic device is located and the spectrum resource information of the second user equipment in the wireless communication system in which the electronic device is located.

Based on the location information and the waveform parameter information of the first user equipment, the setting unit 212 may set the waveform parameter.

The allocating unit 213 may allocate the spectrum resource of the second user equipment to the first user equipment so that the first user equipment uses the spectrum resource of the second user equipment based on the set waveform parameter.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the obtaining unit 211 of the electronic device 200 may obtain the location information of the user equipment by using various methods known in the art, for example, if the first user equipment is a new user equipment accessing the system for the first time, the first user equipment may report the location information actively or passively; the first user equipment may actively or passively update the location information if the first user equipment is an existing user equipment in the system. Furthermore, the obtaining unit 211 may also obtain the spectrum resource information of the user equipment from the electronic device 200 (e.g., a storage unit, not shown) or from other electronic devices. Further, the acquisition unit 211 may acquire the above information through the communication unit 220 of the electronic device 200, and may transmit the acquired location information of the first user equipment to the setting unit 212 and transmit the acquired spectrum resource information of the second user equipment to the allocation unit 213.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the setting unit 212 may acquire the location information of the first user equipment from the acquisition unit 211, and may set the waveform parameters according to a certain algorithm or rule. Here, setting the waveform parameters includes setting the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and setting the waveform parameters of the second user equipment. Further, the setting unit 212 may transmit the set waveform parameters to the communication unit 220 to notify the first user equipment and the second user equipment. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the set waveform parameters enable the receiving end to correctly demodulate data in the process of data transmission by the first user equipment and the second user equipment, that is, both the first user equipment and the second user equipment can correctly demodulate data in downlink transmission, and the base station serving the user equipment in uplink transmission can correctly demodulate data.

In the present disclosure, when the wireless communication system employs an FBMC (Filter Bank Multicarrier) technique, the waveform parameter may be a Filter overlapping factor of a Filter. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the waveform parameters may be any of those of the transmitting end in the art. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the acquisition unit 211 of the electronic device 200 may acquire waveform parameter information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The waveform parameter information may include a range of waveform parameters that may be adopted by the user equipment, such as a range of aliasing factors, a waveform parameter currently adopted by the user equipment, such as a value of aliasing factors, and the like, and may also include information whether the user equipment may perform waveform parameter adjustment. Here, when the ue accesses the system for the first time, the waveform parameter information of the ue may be reported, and the waveform parameter information may be reported together with the location information or separately from the location information.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the allocating unit 213 may allocate the spectrum resource of the second user equipment to the first user equipment. Here, the allocation unit 213 may transmit the spectrum resources allocated to the first user equipment to the communication unit 220 in order to inform the first user equipment.

With the electronic device 200 according to the present disclosure, different user devices in the wireless communication system can use the same spectrum resource by setting the waveform parameter, thereby implementing non-orthogonal spectrum resource sharing and improving the utilization rate of the spectrum.

It is noted that, according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 may be applied in the scenario as shown in fig. 1(a) (i.e. single system scenario), that is, the wireless communication system may include only the first cell, and both the first user equipment and the second user equipment are located in the first cell. In this scenario, the electronic device 200 may be a base station in a first cell. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 may also be applied in the scenario (i.e. a multi-system scenario) as shown in fig. 1(b), that is, the wireless communication system may include at least a first cell and a second cell, the first user equipment being located in the first cell, and the second user equipment being located in the second cell.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the obtaining unit 211 in the processing circuit 210 may further obtain the location information of the second user equipment, and set the waveform parameter based on the location information and the waveform parameter information of the first user equipment and the location information of the second user equipment.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the obtaining unit 211 in the processing circuit 210 may further obtain transmission mode information of the first user equipment, and set the waveform parameter based on the location information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment and the transmission mode information of the first user equipment. Here, the transmission mode information of the first user equipment may include uplink transmission and downlink transmission. That is, when the transmission mode information is uplink transmission, it indicates that the first ue is about to perform uplink transmission; and when the transmission mode information is downlink transmission, indicating that the first user equipment is about to execute downlink transmission.

In this embodiment, the obtaining unit 211 of the electronic device 200 may adopt various methods known in the art to obtain the transmission mode information of the user equipment, for example, if the first user equipment is a new user equipment accessing the system for the first time, the first user equipment may report the transmission mode information actively or passively; the first user equipment may actively or passively update the transmission mode information if the first user equipment is an existing user equipment in the system.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the allocating unit 213 may allocate the spectrum resource of the second user equipment to the first user equipment so that the first user equipment uses the spectrum resource of the second user equipment based on the set waveform parameter. Here, the second user equipment is the same user equipment as the first user equipment in transmission mode. For example, when the transmission mode information of the first user equipment is uplink transmission, selecting a second user equipment which is also uplink transmission, and allocating the spectrum resource to the first user equipment; when the transmission mode information of the first user equipment is downlink transmission, selecting second user equipment which is also downlink transmission, and allocating the spectrum resource to the first user equipment.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the setting unit 212 of the processing circuit 210 may also set the power adjustment factor based on the location information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The allocating unit 213 of the processing circuit 210 acquires the spectrum resource information of the second user equipment, and allocates the spectrum resource of the second user equipment to the first user equipment, so that the first user equipment uses the spectrum resource of the second user equipment based on the set waveform parameter and the power adjustment factor.

In this embodiment, the electronic device 200 is capable of setting not only the waveform parameters of the user device, but also the power adjustment factor of the user device. Here, setting the power adjustment factor includes setting the power adjustment factor of the first user equipment and setting the power adjustment factor of the second user equipment. Further, the setting unit 212 may transmit the set power adjustment factor to the communication unit 220 to inform the first user equipment and the second user equipment. According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the set power adjustment factor enables the receiving end to correctly demodulate data in the process of data transmission by the first user equipment and the second user equipment, that is, both the first user equipment and the second user equipment can correctly demodulate data in downlink transmission, and the base station serving the user equipment in uplink transmission can correctly demodulate data.

In this embodiment, based on the location information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment, the setting unit 212 of the electronic device 200 may further set the demodulation time count information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment, and may transmit the demodulation time count information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment along with the respective waveform parameters and/or power adjustment factors to the first user equipment and the second user equipment, respectively, through the communication unit 220. Here, the demodulation number information includes one demodulation and two demodulation. The first demodulation indicates that the data signal required by the user equipment is demodulated for the first time; the two times of demodulation indicate that the first time of demodulation is an interference signal, and the second time of demodulation is a data signal required by the user equipment. When the user equipment receives the demodulation time information, whether one-time demodulation or two-time demodulation is needed can be determined according to the demodulation time information.

The electronic device 200 applied in a multi-system scenario will be described in detail below.

In a multi-system scenario, the wireless communication system comprises at least a first cell and a second cell, the first user equipment being located in the first cell and the second user equipment being located in the second cell.

It is noted that the wireless communication system in the present disclosure may be a cognitive radio communication system, the first cell may be a first secondary system, the second cell may be a second secondary system, and the electronic device 200 may be a spectrum coordinator in a core network. In this wireless communication system, user equipment in a first cell may communicate with a spectrum coordinator through a base station in the first cell, and user equipment in a second cell may communicate with the spectrum coordinator through a base station in the second cell. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 may also be a base station in a wireless communication system, for example, a base station in a first cell. In this case, the user equipment in the first cell directly communicates with the electronic equipment 200, and the user equipment in the second cell communicates with the electronic equipment 200 through the base station in the second cell.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the first user equipment is in a specific area in the first cell, and within the specific area, the first user equipment is subjected to interference information of the second cell. Here, the specific area in the first cell is an area in which the received signal quality of the user equipment does not satisfy the demodulation requirement, i.e., the user equipment in the area is interfered by the user equipment from other cells and cannot demodulate data correctly. Likewise, there is also a specific area in the second cell where the received signal quality of the user equipment in the specific area does not meet the demodulation requirement, i.e., the user equipment in this area is interfered by the user equipment from other cells (e.g., the first cell) and cannot correctly demodulate data. As shown in fig. 1, the area shown by the dotted line is a cell SS₁And SS₂In a region of strong interference, in which the users SU are located₁Subject to SS from a cell₂Is strong, the user SU₂Subject to SS from a cell₁The interference of (b) is strong, and therefore, in the present disclosure, a region located within a dotted line region in the first cell is defined as a specific region in the first cell, and a region located within a dotted line region in the second cell is defined as a specific region in the second cell.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when cell SS₁And SS₂When there is a free spectrum available in the wireless communication system, the allocating unit 213 may allocate the free spectrum to the first user equipment; current cell SS₁And SS₂When there is no available free spectrum in the wireless communication system, the electronic device 200 (e.g., a determining unit, not shown) may determine whether the first user equipment is in a first cellIf the first user equipment is not located in a specific area of the first cell, the allocating unit 213 may allocate, to the first user equipment, spectrum resources of a third user equipment located outside the specific area of the second cell and having the same transmission mode information as the first user equipment. This is because when the first user equipment is not located in the specific area of the first cell, it indicates that the first user equipment is far away from the second cell, and the third user equipment located outside the specific area of the second cell in the second cell is also far away from the first cell, so even if the first user equipment and the third user equipment use the same spectrum resource, due to the attenuation of the channel, no large interference is generated, and the probability that the data signal can be demodulated correctly at the receiving end is large.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when cell SS₁And SS₂When there is no available free spectrum in the wireless communication system in which the first user equipment is located, and the first user equipment is in a specific area in the first cell, the allocating unit 213 may allocate the same spectrum resources of the second user equipment as the transmission mode information of the first user equipment to the first user equipment. Here, the second user equipment is user equipment located at an arbitrary position in the second cell and having the same transmission mode information as the first user equipment.

then, the setting unit 212 sets SU according to the first power adjustment factor and the second power adjustment factor obtained by the formula (24) and the formula (26)₂Power adjustment factor p of₂Comprises the following steps:

thus, when α is₁≤α₂In time, the setup unit 212 solves for SU in two steps₂Power adjustment factor p of₂And solve SU through a step₁Power adjustment factor p of₁。

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the processing circuit 210 is further configured to perform the following operations: determining that the set power adjustment factor exceeds the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end; resetting the power adjustment factor so that the reset power adjustment factor is within the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end; acquiring waveform parameter information of first user equipment and second user equipment; and setting waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment, so that the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of demodulation of a receiving end is met.

The power amplifier at the transmitting end has its adjustment range, and when the setting unit 212 solves SU according to the above-described procedure₂Power adjustment factor p of₂And SU₁Power adjustment factor p of₁Then, if a certain power adjustment factor is found to exceed the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end, the power needs to be resetAnd adjusting the factor. For example, when the solved power adjustment factor is smaller than the minimum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier, the power adjustment factor is reset to the minimum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier; and when the solved power adjustment factor is larger than the maximum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier, resetting the power adjustment factor as the maximum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the setting unit 212 resets the power adjustment factor, the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may also be set. Taking the aliasing factor K of the filter as an example, K may take a value of 1, 2, 3, or 4. When the value of K is 1, the generated transmitting signal power is minimum; and when the value of K is 4, the generated transmitting signal has the maximum power.

After the electronic device 200 obtains the waveform parameter information of the user equipment, the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may be set, so that the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of the demodulation at the receiving end is satisfied.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when α₁>α₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Greater than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Setting to a value of a smallest aliasing factor in a range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment; when alpha is₁≤α₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Less than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the smallest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment.

As described above, the setting unit 212 may also set the demodulation times information of the first and second user equipments based on the location information of the first and second user equipments, andthe demodulation number information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may be transmitted to the first user equipment and the second user equipment, respectively, along with the respective waveform parameters and/or power adjustment factors through the communication unit 220. For example, when α₁≤α₂When the first user equipment receives the first signal, the demodulation frequency information of the first user equipment is demodulated for two times, and the demodulation frequency information of the second user equipment is demodulated for one time; when alpha is₁>α₂And then, the demodulation frequency information of the first user equipment is one-time demodulation, and the demodulation frequency information of the second user equipment is two-time demodulation.

As described above, in the first embodiment, when the transmission mode information of the first user equipment is downlink transmission, the setting unit 212 may set the values of the power adjustment factors for the first user equipment and the second user equipment; the setting unit 212 may also set the value of the waveform parameter when the power adjustment factor exceeds the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end. In this way, the data signal can be correctly demodulated at the receiving end, and the non-orthogonal sharing of the frequency spectrum is realized.

Second embodiment

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the setting unit 212 first needs to calculate α₁And alpha₂And comparing a₁And alpha₂The size of (2). This process is the same as the first embodiment, and is not described herein, i.e. the setting unit 212 can calculate α according to equation (8)₁And calculates alpha according to equation (12)₂The value of (c).

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 (e.g., a waveform parameter information obtaining unit, not shown) may obtain waveform parameter information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The waveform parameter information may include a range of waveform parameters that may be adopted by the user equipment, such as a range of aliasing factors, a waveform parameter currently adopted by the user equipment, such as a value of aliasing factors, and the like, and may also include information whether the user equipment may perform waveform parameter adjustment. After the electronic device 200 obtains the waveform parameter information of the user equipment, the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may be set to meet the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of the demodulation at the receiving end.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when α₁>α₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Greater than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Setting to a value of a smallest aliasing factor in a range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment; when alpha is₁≤α₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Less than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the smallest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment.

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the processing circuit 210 is further configured to perform the following operations: determining that the set waveform parameters cannot meet the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of demodulation of a receiving end; and further setting a power adjustment factor based on the channel information so as to meet the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or signal-to-noise ratio requirement of demodulation of a receiving end.

In the foregoing, the waveform parameters, such as the aliasing factors, have a certain value range, so that the waveform parameters cannot meet the demodulation requirement of the receiving end no matter how the waveform parameters are adjusted. Thus, the processing circuit 210 (e.g., a determining unit, not shown) may be configured to determine whether the set waveform parameters satisfy the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirements or the signal-to-noise ratio requirements of demodulation at the receiving end after configuring the waveform parameters, and if the demodulation requirements are not satisfied, further setting of the power adjustment factor is required.

In the present disclosure, a normalized transmission signal power is defined, and taking an aliasing factor as an example, a normalized power corresponding to a transmission signal power generated when an aliasing factor K is 1 is defined as 1, and when K is 2, 3, and 4, a ratio K of the generated transmission signal power to a transmission signal power generated when K is 1 is defined as₁，k₂And k₃As normalized transmit signal power for K of 2, 3 and 4, respectively. The different aliasing factors and corresponding normalized transmit signal powers are shown in table 1.

thus, when beta₁≤β₂In time, the setup unit 212 solves for SU in two steps₂Power adjustment factor p of₂And solve SU through a step₁Power adjustment factor p of₁。

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the processing circuit 210 is further configured to perform the following operations: determining that the set power adjustment factor exceeds the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end; resetting the power adjustment factor so that the reset power adjustment factor is within the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end; acquiring waveform parameter information of first user equipment and second user equipment; and setting waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment, so that the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of demodulation of a receiving end is met.

The power amplifier at the transmitting end has its adjustment range, and when the setting unit 212 solves SU according to the above-described procedure₂Power adjustment factor p of₂And SU₁Power adjustment factor p of₁Then, if a certain power adjustment factor is found to exceed the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end, the power adjustment factor needs to be reset. For example, when the solved power adjustment factor is smaller than the minimum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier, the power adjustment factor is reset to the minimum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier; and when the solved power adjustment factor is larger than the maximum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier, resetting the power adjustment factor as the maximum power adjustment factor of the power amplifier.

The waveform parameter information may include a range of waveform parameters that may be adopted by the user equipment, such as a range of aliasing factors, a waveform parameter currently adopted by the user equipment, such as a value of aliasing factors, and the like, and may also include information whether the user equipment may perform waveform parameter adjustment. Here, when the ue accesses the system for the first time, the waveform parameter information of the ue may be reported, and the waveform parameter information may be reported together with the location information or separately from the location information. After the electronic device 200 obtains the waveform parameter information of the user equipment, the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may be set, so that the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of the demodulation at the receiving end is satisfied.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when β₁>β₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Greater than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Setting to a value of a smallest aliasing factor in a range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment; when beta is₁≤β₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Less than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c).

This process is similar to the first embodiment and will not be described again.

As described above, in the third embodiment, when the transmission mode information of the first user equipment is uplink transmission, the setting unit 212 may set the values of the power adjustment factors for the first user equipment and the second user equipment; the setting unit 212 may also set the value of the waveform parameter when the power adjustment factor exceeds the adjustment range of the power amplifier at the transmitting end. In this way, the data signal can be correctly demodulated at the receiving end, and the non-orthogonal sharing of the frequency spectrum is realized.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the setting unit 212 first needs to calculate β₁And beta₂And comparing β with the value of₁And beta₂The size of (2). This process is the same as the third embodiment, and will not be described herein, that is, the setting unit 212 can calculate β according to the formula (42)₁And calculates beta according to equation (43)₂The value of (c).

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 200 (e.g., a waveform parameter information obtaining unit, not shown) may obtain waveform parameter information of the first user equipment and the second user equipment. The waveform parameter information may include a range of waveform parameters that may be adopted by the user equipment, such as a range of aliasing factors, a waveform parameter currently adopted by the user equipment, such as a value of aliasing factors, and the like, and may also include information whether the user equipment may perform waveform parameter adjustment. After the electronic device 200 obtains the waveform parameter information of the user equipment, the waveform parameters of the first user equipment and the second user equipment may be set to meet the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirement or the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of the demodulation at the receiving end.

In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure,when beta is₁>β₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Greater than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Setting to a value of a smallest aliasing factor in a range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment; when beta is₁≤β₂The setting unit 212 sets the aliasing factor K of the first user equipment₁Less than the aliasing factor K of the second user equipment₂The value of (c). For example, the setting unit 212 sets K₁Set to the value of the smallest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors of the first user equipment, K₂Set to the value of the largest aliasing factor in the range of aliasing factors for the second user equipment.

In the foregoing, the waveform parameters, such as the aliasing factors, have a certain value range, so that the waveform parameters cannot meet the demodulation requirement of the receiving end no matter how the waveform parameters are adjusted. Thus, the processing circuit 210 (e.g., a determining unit, not shown) may be configured to determine whether the set waveform parameters satisfy the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio requirements or the signal-to-noise ratio requirements of demodulation at the receiving end after configuring the waveform parameters, and if the demodulation requirements are not satisfied, further setting of the power adjustment factor is required. Here, it is still possible to define a normalized transmit signal power, for example, defining the ratio K of the transmit signal power generated when K is 4 to the transmit signal power generated when K is 1₃As the normalized transmit signal power when K is 4. This part is the same as the second embodiment and will not be described again.

This process is similar to the first embodiment and will not be described again.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, when the transmission mode information of the first user equipment is uplink transmission, the setting unit 212 may set the values of the waveform parameters for the first user equipment and the second user equipment; the setting unit 212 may also set the value of the power adjustment factor when the waveform parameter cannot meet the demodulation requirement of the receiving end. In this way, the data signal can be correctly demodulated at the receiving end, and the non-orthogonal sharing of the frequency spectrum is realized.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of non-orthogonal spectrum sharing in multiple systems, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 5, when a new user accesses the system, the location information needs to be reported, and an existing user may report the currently updated location information periodically or in an event. Here, when a new user accesses the system, the transmission mode information and the waveform parameter information of the new user can be reported, and the existing user can also report the currently updated transmission mode information periodically or in an event. Next, the electronic device 200 may determine whether there is available free spectrum, and if so, may directly allocate the available free spectrum to the new user. If there is no available free spectrum, the electronic device 200 may determine whether the new user is located in a strong interference region, and if the new user is not located in a strong interference region, the electronic device 200 may allocate a spectrum of a user outside the strong interference region of the neighboring system, which has the same transmission mode as the new user, to the new user device. If the new user is located in the strong interference area, it is continuously determined whether the transmission mode information of the new user is uplink transmission or downlink transmission, and then the electronic device 200 allocates the frequency spectrum of the user of the adjacent system having the same transmission mode as the new user to the new user device, acquires the channel information, and sets the demodulation frequency information and the waveform parameter and/or the power adjustment factor according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.

According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method shown according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be performed with a new user access as a trigger event. In other words, the allocation of spectrum and the setting process of parameters are performed as shown in fig. 5 whenever a new user accesses the system. The frequency spectrum information, waveform parameters and power adjustment factors of all the user equipment in the first cell and the second cell are not changed from one new user access system to the next new user access system. According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the method shown according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may also be performed as needed. That is, when it is necessary to allocate a spectrum to a certain user equipment in a certain cell or to set waveform parameters and/or power adjustment factors, a corresponding method is performed according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a process of signaling interaction for non-orthogonal spectrum sharing in multiple systems, according to an embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, when a new user in the SS1 cell accesses the system, the new user reports location information and transmission mode information, and may also report waveform parameter information and/or demodulation threshold as needed, and the existing user in the SS2 cell may update the current location information and transmission mode information. Next, the SC (Spectrum Coordinator) may determine whether there is available free Spectrum, and if so, may directly allocate the available free Spectrum to the new user. If there is no available free spectrum, the SC may determine whether the new user is located in a strong interference region, and if the new user is not located in a strong interference region, the SC may allocate a spectrum of a user outside the strong interference region of the neighboring system, which has the same transmission mode as the new user, to the new user equipment. If the new user is located in the strong interference area, the SC sets the demodulation time information and the waveform parameter and/or the power adjustment factor according to the transmission mode information of the new user and according to the preprocessing algorithm in the embodiment of the present disclosure, acquires the channel information, and allocates the frequency spectrum of the user of the adjacent system to the new user equipment. Next, the SC transmits the set demodulation number information and the waveform parameter and/or power adjustment factor, channel parameter, and allocated spectrum information to new user equipment in cell SS1, and transmits the set demodulation number information, waveform parameter and/or power adjustment factor, and channel parameter to user equipment in cell SS 2.

The electronic device 200 has been described above as applied in a multi-system scenario. The electronic apparatus 200 applied to the single system scenario will be described in detail below.

As mentioned earlier, the electronic device 200 may also be applied in a single system scenario, such as that of fig. 1 (a).

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of setting a waveform parameter and/or a power adjustment factor of a user equipment in a single system includes: when a new user in a cell accesses the system, the new user (e.g., a first user equipment) reports location information and transmission mode information to be executed (where the transmission mode information includes uplink transmission and downlink transmission), and may also report waveform parameter information and/or a demodulation threshold as needed, and an existing user in the cell may update current location information. Next, the SC may determine whether there is available free spectrum, and if so, may directly allocate the available free spectrum to the new user. If no free spectrum is available, the SC sets the demodulation number information and the waveform parameter and/or the power adjustment factor according to a preprocessing algorithm in an embodiment of the present disclosure, acquires channel information, and allocates the spectrum of other user equipment (e.g., a second user equipment) in the cell to the new user equipment. Next, the SC transmits the set demodulation number information, waveform parameter and/or power adjustment factor, channel parameter and allocated spectrum information to a new user equipment in the cell, and transmits the set demodulation number information, waveform parameter and/or power adjustment factor and channel parameter to other user equipments.

How to set the waveform parameters and/or power adjustment factors of the user equipment in a single system will be described in detail below.

In addition, various types of terminals, which will be described below, can each operate as a base station by temporarily or semi-persistently performing a base station function.

For example, the UE mentioned in the present disclosure may be implemented as a mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet Personal Computer (PC), a notebook PC, a portable game terminal, a portable/cryptographic dog-type mobile router, and a digital camera device, or a vehicle-mounted terminal such as a car navigation apparatus.

The techniques of this disclosure may also be implemented as an in-vehicle system (or vehicle) 1540 that includes one or more blocks of the car navigation device 1520, the in-vehicle network 1541, and the vehicle module 1542. The vehicle module 1542 generates vehicle data (such as vehicle speed, engine speed, and fault information) and outputs the generated data to the vehicle-mounted network 1541.

In the systems and methods of the present disclosure, it is apparent that individual components or steps may be broken down and/or recombined. These decompositions and/or recombinations are to be considered equivalents of the present disclosure. Also, the steps of executing the series of processes described above may naturally be executed chronologically in the order described, but need not necessarily be executed chronologically. Some steps may be performed in parallel or independently of each other.

Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and do not constitute a limitation of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the scope of the disclosure is to be defined only by the claims appended hereto, and by their equivalents.
