Problems solved by technology

In the existing antenna calibration schemes proposed for the CoMP system, either the intra-cell calibration is performed first and then the inter-cell calibration, or the intra-cell and inter-cell calibration is performed simultaneously. The former will inevitably destroy the previously calibrated intra-cell calibration. reciprocity, the latter may be more difficult to achieve

Embodiment 1

[0168] The antenna calibration method in this embodiment is specifically described as follows:

[0169] Step 101: The reference antenna n1 of eNB1 and the reference antenna w1 of eNB2 send pilot signals to the antenna m1 of the CoMP user through the air interface, and the user estimates the channel from the reference antenna n1 of eNB1 to the user reference antenna m1 after receiving the pilot signal information and channel information from the reference antenna w1 of eNB2 to the user reference antenna m1, and feed it back to eNB1.

Abstract

The invention discloses an antenna calibrating method and an antenna calibrating device used in a time division duplex coordinated multiple point system. The antenna calibrating method comprises a step of calibrating antennas among cells by a network side: selecting a standard antenna, taking the standard antenna as the standard, and calibrating reference antennas in all the cells; and a step of calibrating the antennas in the cells by the network side again: taking the reference antenna of the cell as the standard in each cell, and calibrating other antennas in the cell, excepting the reference antenna, wherein one of the antennas of the cell is selected as the reference antenna of the cell in each cell respectively. By using the protocol of calibrating the antennas among the cells firstly and then calibrating antennas in the cell on the basis of calibration among the cells, the reciprocity of an uplink and a downlink in the calibrated cell cannot be damaged; the channel reciprocity performance of the time division duplex (TDD) coordinated multiple point (CoMP) system is improved, so that the transmission performance of the CoMP system is also improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to an antenna calibration method and device in a time-division duplex coordinated multi-point system. Background technique [0002] The Long Term Evolution (LTE for short) system simultaneously defines two different duplexing modes: Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD for short) and Time Division Duplexing (TDD for short). FDD receives and transmits on two separate symmetrical frequency channels, and uses a guard frequency band to separate the receive and transmit channels. TDD uses time to separate receiving and sending channels, and its receiving and sending use different time slots of the same frequency carrier as the bearer of the channel. [0003] The main difference between TDD and FDD is that the uplink and downlink physical channels of TDD have symmetry (or called reciprocity), while FDD does not have such reciprocity. Due to reciprocity, the base station (eNo...
