Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a detection system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the system includes at least one base station 110_ N and at least one User Equipment (UE) 120_ M. Generally, one base station covers or manages one or more cells, and there are a plurality of UEs in one cell listening to or receiving signals.

Taking the base station 110_2 as an example, the base station 110_2 may allocate non-orthogonal pilot resources not only for the UE120_ 4, the UE120_ 5, and the UE120_ 6 in the cell B of the base station, but also for the UE120_ 2 in the other cell a and the UE120_ M-2 in the cell C. After obtaining the non-orthogonal pilot resources allocated by the base station side, the UE side may send a pilot signal to the base station side through the allocated non-orthogonal pilot resources. After receiving pilot signals sent by a plurality of UEs, the base station side processes the received signals through two interference comparison architectures, namely a basic cancellation framework and a residual cancellation framework, so as to eliminate the interference problem under non-orthogonal pilot and the interference problem among cells, thereby detecting the channel response of each UE and improving the number of pilot resources and the system capacity in the base station.

Two embodiments are described below that the base station processes the received signal through two interference comparison architectures, i.e., a basic cancellation framework and a residual cancellation framework, to detect the channel response of each UE.

Example one

Fig. 2 is a flowchart for processing a received signal by an infrastructure cancellation framework to obtain a channel response of each UE according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the base station specifically implements the following process:

step S201, the base station receives a pilot signal sent by at least one UE.

The pilot signal includes a common-demodulation reference signal (CRS), a downlink demodulation reference signal (DL DMRS), an uplink demodulation reference signal (UL DMRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a positioning pilot signal (PRS), a Primary Synchronization Signal (PSS), a Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS), a discovery pilot signal (DRS), and the like.

Specifically, after receiving pilot signals transmitted by a plurality of UEs, the base station numbers the UEs, which are UE1, UE2, and … … UE k … …. Further, the pilot signal transmitted by UE1 is defined as S1, the pilot signal transmitted by UE2 is defined as S2, and so on, the pilot signal transmitted by UE k is defined as Sk. Where k represents an identification numbering each UE.

According to the principle that the base station numbers the plurality of UEs, optionally, the priority of each UE is ranked according to the base station, the higher the priority is, the earlier the ranking is, because in the subsequent process of processing the channel response of each UE, the more the UE ranked earlier is, the more accurate the estimated channel response is. The high-priority users are defined as users with higher requirements on the capacity of an uplink system and a downlink system, such as users with large packet service, users at a cell near point position, or users with large bandwidth.

For convenience of subsequent description, a plurality of pilot signals received by the base station are mathematically modeled, and the received plurality of pilot signals and the to-be-detected channel response of the UE corresponding to each pilot signal are modeled to obtain a received signal Y, which is defined as:

where k denotes a serial number numbering each UE, S_kCoefficient matrix representing the pilot signal transmitted by each UE, H_kIndicating the channel response to be detected by each UE.

Step S202, the base station carries out iterative estimation of interference cancellation on the channel response of each UE k, and eliminates the interference of other channel responses in the channel response of each UE.

Specifically, after obtaining the received signal Y, the base station estimates, in a first round of estimation, a channel response to be detected of the UE with a sequence number k equal to 1; when estimating the channel response to be detected of the UE with the sequence number k ═ 2, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of the channel response to be detected of the UE with the sequence number k ═ 1 on the channel response; when estimating the channel response to be detected of the UE with the sequence number k-3, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of the channel response to be detected of the UE with the sequence number k-1 and the sequence number k-2; and so on.

Meanwhile, after the base station performs the first round of estimation on each UE, in the second round of estimation process, when each UE is sequentially subjected to the second round of estimation, the influence of the channel response to be detected of each UE except the UE of the base station in the first round of estimation needs to be eliminated; in the third round of estimation process, when each UE is sequentially estimated for the third round, it is necessary to eliminate the influence of the channel response to be detected of each UE in the second round estimation except the UE itself; and so on.

Illustratively, for the first round of estimation, the frequency domain channel response H of each UE is obtained by the following formula (2-1)_1,lskThe formula (2-1) is specifically:

wherein H_1,rebiRepresenting the frequency domain channel response of each UE in the first round of estimation, k representing the identity of numbering each UE, S_k ^*Denotes S_kAnd (6) conjugation.

For the estimation of the Nth (N is not equal to 1) round, the channel response H of each UE is obtained by the following formula (2-2)_N,lskThe formula (2-2) is specifically:

where m represents the number of pilot signals transmitted to the base station, and k is ≦ m, H_N-1,rebiRepresenting the frequency domain channel response of each UE in the N-1 th round of estimation, N representing the number of rounds that each UE is performing the estimation, S_k ^*Denotes S_kAnd (6) conjugation.

Step S203, the base station responds H to the obtained frequency domain channel_N,lskPerforming inverse Fourier transform (IDFT) to obtain time domain channel response h_N,lsk。

Wherein the base station responds to the frequency domain channel H by the following formula (3)_N,lskPerforming IDFT to obtain time domain channel response h_N,lskThe formula (3) is specifically:

h_N,lsk＝IDFT(Η_N,lsk)。 (3)

step S204, the base station responds to the obtained time domain channel h_N,lskCarrying out nonlinear reconstruction to obtain reconstructed time domain channel response h_N,rebk。

Specifically, the base station obtains the time domain channel response h_N,lskThen, the time domain channel is responded to h_N,lskIs reconstructed with variable described as h_N,rebk. The purpose of the method is that for interference cancellation, a nonlinear processing procedure must be added in each iteration process, so that h is obtained after the nonlinear processing procedure_N,rebkCompared with h_N,lskCloser to the true channel response.

Step S205, the base station responds to the obtained time domain channel h_N,rebkPerforming Fourier transform (DFT) to obtain frequency domain channel response H_N,rebk。

Wherein the base station responds to the time domain channel h by the following formula (4)_N,rebkDFT is carried out to obtain frequency domain channel response H_N,rebkThe formula (4) is specifically:

H_N,rebk＝DFT(h_N,rebk)。 (4)

step S206, the base station judges the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the moment_N,rebkIf the channel response is the channel response of the last UE to be sequenced, if so, execute step S207; if not, step S202 is performed.

Wherein, the frequency domain channel response H of the UE is circularly calculated in steps S202-S206_N,rebkIn the process, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at this time is determined in step S206_N,rebkWhen the channel response of the last UE which is not ordered is not the channel response of the last UE which is ordered, k is k +1, and the frequency domain channel response H of each UE obtained before the k is the frequency domain channel response H_N,rebkInput to step S202 to calculate the frequency domain channel response H of the UE of the next sequence number_N,rebk。

Step S207, the base station judges the frequency domain channel response H obtained at this time_N,rebkWhether the number of estimation rounds performed is the set round threshold D. If yes, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the time is indicated_N,rebkThe number of estimation rounds is the channel response of the last UE to be sequenced, which is obtained by the last round of iteration, and step S208 is executed; if not, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the time is indicated_N,rebkThe number of estimation rounds performed is not the channel response of the last UE to be ranked obtained in the last iteration round, and step S202 is performed.

Wherein, the frequency domain channel response H of the UE is circularly calculated in steps S202-S207_N,rebkIn the process, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at this time is determined in step S207_N,rebkIf the channel response of the last ordered UE obtained by the iteration of the last round is not the channel response of the last ordered UE, N is equal to N +1 and k is equal to 1, and the frequency domain channel response H of each UE obtained in the round is used_N,rebkIs inputted into step S202 to calculate the frequency domain channel response H of the UE of the next round_N,rebk。

Step S208, the base station makes the frequency domain channel response H of each UE processed by the last iteration_N,rebkAs the final channel response of each UE. Wherein, the finally obtained channel response of each UE is the channel response obtained by the last round of cancellation, and is sequentially H_N,reb1、H_N,reb2……H_N,rebk。

The method comprises the steps of processing the acquired received signals through a basic cancellation framework, namely calculating a channel response estimation value of each UE through the received signals, canceling the interference of the channel response estimation values of the previously determined UE, and then canceling the interference of the channel response estimation values of the UE except the UE in the previous round of estimation through a plurality of rounds of iterative degressive processing, so that the channel response of each UE is infinitely close to a true value. The purpose of identifying the detection of a channel response differs for different communication system transmission channels.

Example two

Fig. 5 is a flowchart for processing a received signal by a residual cancellation framework to obtain a channel response of each UE according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the base station specifically implements the following process:

step S501, the base station receives a pilot signal sent by at least one UE.

Specifically, after receiving pilot signals transmitted by a plurality of UEs, the base station numbers the plurality of UEs, and defines the pilot signal transmitted by UE k as Sk. In addition, the historical channel response of each UE is defined as H_histkAnd provides that at the initial iteration is set to 0.

Step S502, the base station estimates the channel response of each UE, and eliminates the interference of other channel responses in the channel response of each UE.

Specifically, the signal Y at this time no longer represents the received signal of the frequency domain signal, but rather represents the residual signal Y remaining uncancelled with each iterative cancellation process. When each UE carries out channel estimation in sequence, the residual signal Y and the pilot signal are estimated, and the historical channel response H of the previous round of reconstruction is added_histkAfter the estimation is finished, the pilot signal estimated this time is continuously subtracted from Y, so as to continuously estimate the next UE; after the estimation of the channel responses of all the UE in one round is finished, the user estimation of the next round is carried out; and so on.

Illustratively, when each UE is estimated, the channel response H of each UE is obtained by the following formula (12)_1,lskThe formula (12) is specifically:

wherein k represents the serial number numbering each UE, N is the number of times of iterative estimation of the base station to the channel response of each UE, H_N,lskIndicating the channel response to be detected, Y, of the UE in the Nth round of estimation_N,lskRepresents the residual result during the k-th user estimation process in the Nth round, H_N-1,histkRepresenting the historical channel response of the UE in the N-1 th round of estimation, H_0，histk＝0。

Step S503, the base station responds H to the obtained channel of each UE_N,lskPerforming IDFT to obtain channel response h_N,lsk. Wherein the base station responds to the channel H by formula (3)_N,lskPerforming IDFT to obtain channel response h_N,lsk。

Step S504, the base station responds H to the obtained channel of each UE_N,lskCarrying out nonlinear reconstruction to obtain frequency domain channel response h_N,rebk. Wherein, the base station pair H_N,lskThe non-linear reconstruction method may be any one implementation manner of a basic non-linear reconstruction scheme, a high-speed sampling scheme, and a new waveform scheme in the above embodiment, and the specific implementation process is detailed in fig. 3 to 4 and corresponding description, which is not described herein again.

Step S505, the base station responds to the obtained frequency domain channel h of each UE_N,rebkDFT is carried out to obtain frequency domain channel response H_N,rebk. Wherein the base station responds to the frequency domain channel h by formula (4)_N,rebkDFT is carried out to obtain frequency domain channel response H_N,rebk。

Step S506, the base station judges the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the moment_N,rebkWhether the number of estimation rounds performed is the set round threshold D. If not, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the time is indicated_N,rebkThe number of estimation rounds performed is not the channel response of each UE obtained by the last iteration round, and step S507 is performed; if yes, the frequency domain channel response H obtained at the time is indicated_N,rebkThe number of estimation rounds performed is the channel response of each UE obtained in the last iteration round, and step S510 is performed.

Step S507, the base stationAccording to the obtained frequency domain channel response H of the UE k_N,rebkThe residual err of the channel response is calculated.

Specifically, the base station calculates a residual err of the channel response of each UE according to formula (13), where formula (13) is specifically:

err_N,k＝H_N,rebk-H_N-1,histk。 (13)

step S508, the base station updates the received signal Y according to the residual error of the channel response of each UE_N,k。

Specifically, when the iterative process is in the user k addition process, the base station updates the received signal Y by the equation (14-1)_NThe formula (14-1) is specifically:

Y_N,k+1＝Y_N,k-S_kerr_N,k。 (14-1)

when the iteration process is in the iteration round N increasing process, k is accumulated to m positions at the moment, and the base station updates the received signal Y through the formula (14-2)_NThe formula (14-2) is specifically:

Y_N+1,1＝Y_N,m-S_merr_N,m。 (14-2)

step S509, the base station updates the historical channel response of each UE to H_N,histkThen, step S502 is performed again.

Specifically, the base station updates the historical channel response of each UE to H by formula (15)_N,histkThe formula (15) is specifically:

H_N,histk＝H_N,rebk。 (15)

wherein, the received signal Y is updated in step S508_NAnd updating the historical channel response of each UE to H in step S509_N,histkThe order of (A) is not limited.

Step S510, the base station makes the frequency domain channel response H of each UE processed by the last iteration_N,rebkAs the final channel response of each UE. Wherein, the finally obtained channel response of each UE is the channel response obtained by the last round of cancellation, and is sequentially H_N,reb1、H_N,reb2……H_N,rebk。

According to the method, the received signals are processed through a residual cancellation frame, namely, the residual of each UE and the differential signals of each UE are sequentially calculated through the received signals, then the historical channel responses of each UE are combined, the channel response estimation value of each UE is calculated, and finally the estimation value of each UE in the previous round is superposed through a plurality of rounds of iteration addition processing, so that the channel response of each UE is infinitely close to the true value.

The following describes the scheme of the second embodiment by a specific example. In this case, it is determined that three UEs transmit pilot signals to the base station (i.e., m is 3), and the channel response of each UE through two rounds of iteration processing (i.e., N is 2) is sufficient.

After receiving pilot signals sent by three UEs, the base station performs cancellation processing in the first round:

wherein, let H_0,reb1＝0，H_0,reb2＝0，H_0,reb30, i.e. H_0,hist1＝0，H_0,hist2＝0，H_0,hist3＝0。

Then, the frequency domain channel response H is obtained through the formulas (3) to (11) in the steps S503 to S505_1,reb1、H_1,reb2And H_1,reb3(ii) a Since N < 2, the process loops to step S502 to detect the channel response of the second round of estimation of each UE.

At this time, according to equation (13), the residual err of the channel response of each UE is calculated as:

err_1,1＝H_1,reb1-H_0,hist1＝H_1,reb1

err_1,2＝H_1,reb2-H_0,hist2＝H_1,reb2

err_1,3＝H_1,reb3-H_0,hist3＝H_1,reb3

according to the residual err of the channel response of each UE,updating the received signal Y according to equation (14-2)_2,1Updating the received signal Y according to equation (14-1)_2,2And Y_2,3Obtaining:

Y_2,1＝Y_1,3-S₃err_1,3

Y_2,2＝Y_2,1-S₁err_2,1

Y_2,3＝Y_2,2-S₂err_2,2

the historical channel response H of each UE is updated according to equation (15)_N,histkComprises the following steps:

H_1,hist1＝H_1,reb1

H_1,hist2＝H_1,reb2

H_1,hist3＝H_1,reb3

in the second round of cancellation processing:

then, the frequency domain channel response H is obtained through the formulas (3) to (11) in the steps S503 to S505_2,reb1、H_2,reb2And H_2reb3(ii) a Since N is 2 at this time, it is not necessary to loop to step S502, and H estimated in the last round is directly estimated_2,reb1、H_2,reb2And H_2,reb3As the final channel response of each UE.

The base station 800 may comprise one or more DUs 801 and one or more CUs 802. The DU 801 may include at least one antenna 8011, at least one radio frequency unit 8012, at least one processor 8013 and at least one memory 8014. The DU 801 part is mainly used for transceiving radio frequency signals, converting radio frequency signals and baseband signals, and partially processing baseband. CU802 may include at least one processor 8022 and at least one memory 8021. The CU802 and the DU 801 can communicate with each other through an interface, wherein a Control Plane (Control Plane) interface can be Fs-C, such as F1-C, and a User Plane (User Plane) interface can be Fs-U, such as F1-U.

The CU802 part is mainly used for performing baseband processing, controlling a base station, and the like. The DU 801 and the CU802 may be physically located together or physically located separately, i.e. distributed base stations. The CU802 is a control center of the base station, and may also be referred to as a processing unit, and is mainly used to perform a baseband processing function. For example, the CU802 may be configured to control the base station to perform the operation procedures described above with respect to the network device in the method embodiments.

Specifically, the baseband processing on the CU and the DU may be divided according to protocol layers of the wireless network, for example, functions of a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer and protocol layers above the PDCP layer are set in the CU, and functions of protocol layers below the PDCP layer, for example, functions of a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer and a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer, are set in the DU. For another example, a CU implements Radio Resource Control (RRC) and Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) functions, and a DU implements Radio Link Control (RLC), Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical (PHY) functions.

Further, optionally, base station 800 may include one or more radio frequency units (RUs), one or more DUs, and one or more CUs. Wherein, the DU may include at least one processor 8013 and at least one memory 8014, the RU may include at least one antenna 8011 and at least one radio frequency unit 8012, and the CU may include at least one processor 8022 and at least one memory 8021.

In an example, the CU802 may be formed by one or more boards, and the multiple boards may jointly support a radio access network with a single access indication (e.g., a 5G network), or may respectively support radio access networks with different access schemes (e.g., an LTE network, a 5G network, or other networks). The memory 8021 and processor 8022 may serve one or more boards. That is, the memory and processor may be provided separately on each board. Multiple boards may share the same memory and processor. In addition, each single board can be provided with necessary circuits. The DU 801 may be formed by one or more boards, where the boards may jointly support a wireless access network with a single access instruction (e.g., a 5G network), and may also respectively support wireless access networks with different access schemes (e.g., an LTE network, a 5G network, or other networks). The memory 8014 and the processor 8013 may serve one or more boards. That is, the memory and processor may be provided separately on each board. Multiple boards may share the same memory and processor. In addition, each single board can be provided with necessary circuits.

The DU and the CU may jointly perform the function of the processor 602 in the detection apparatus 600 shown in fig. 6 or the function of the processor 701 in the detection apparatus 700 shown in fig. 7, which is not described in detail herein.
