Problems solved by technology

The information of the number of antenna ports is implicit in the CRC mask (mask of the cyclic redundancy check) of PBCH, and the information of the number of antenna ports cannot be obtained from the CRC mask before the PBCH channel is correctly detected; however, if there is no antenna port The correct number of antennas cannot be used for channel estimation and equalization of the PBCH channel

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Based on the resource mapping characteristics of SSS, PBCH channel, reference signal, etc., the present invention proposes a detection method for the number of antenna ports. When the channel quality is good, it detects based on the reference signal power; when the channel quality is poor, it detects based on the autocorrelation of the reference signal.

[0023] The invention proposes an antenna port detection method. FIG. 3 is a flow chart of the port detection method. The UE receives the data, performs cell search and timing synchronization, determines the mapping position of the PBCH, and then extracts the cell reference signal under the 1 / 2 / 4 antenna port from the bandwidth range of the PBCH mapping. The approximate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is obtained using the power ratio of the secondary synchronization signal (SSS) in subframe 0 and its guard null carrier. Set a threshold value (in the AWGN channel environment, according to a large number of simulations, th...

Abstract

The invention relates a method for detecting the quantity of antenna ports in an LTE (Long Term Evolution) system and relates to the technical field of mobile communication. According to the LTE system, the quantity of the antenna ports is hidden in a broadcasting channel through CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) mask. The method comprises the following steps of: reading a reference signal under 1/2/4 antenna port conditions from a received signal, carrying out SNR(Signal Noise Ratio) estimation by using SSS (secondary synchronization signals) and protection non-load carrier, and when the SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is larger than a threshold value, judging the quantity of antenna ports by using a power ratio of the reference signal of the 1/2/3 antenna port to a reference signal of a 0th, and otherwise, judging the quantity of the antenna ports by using the reference signal of each antenna port and a related value of a local reference signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mobile communication, in particular to a detection technology for the number of antenna ports in the initial search process of a terminal cell in an LTE system. Background technique [0002] In the fourth-generation mobile communication long-term evolution LTE system, MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) is one of its key technologies. Among them, the physical broadcast channel (PBCH) supports single-antenna transmission mode and diversity transmission mode, so it supports 1, 2, 4 And so on three antenna port transmission modes. When the terminal interprets the PBCH channel to obtain the MIB (Master Information Block), it needs to correctly detect the number of sending ports used by the PBCH channel. The information of the number of antenna ports is implicit in the CRC mask (mask of the cyclic redundancy check) of PBCH, and the information of the number of antenna ports cannot be obtained from the CRC m...
