Abstract

The invention discloses a channel estimation method and device, wherein the channel estimation method includes: a least square (LS) estimation step for calculating an LS estimation value of a channel according to a received channel state indicator-reference signal (CSI-RS); a signal-to-noise ratio estimation step for estimating a signal-to-noise ratio based on the estimated LS estimation value; a channel parameter estimation step for estimating channel parameters related to delay spread of the channel; a smoothing-matrix selection step for selecting a linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) smoothing-matrix according to the estimated signal-to-noise ratio and the estimated channel parameters; an LMMSE smoothing step for using the selected LMMSE smoothing matrix to carry out LMMSE smoothing filtering on the LS estimation value; and an output step for outputting a filtering result as channel estimation information. According to the channel estimation method and device, relative high channel estimation performance oriented to the CSI-RS can be realized.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and more particularly, to a channel estimation method and device based on a Channel State Indicator-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) used in a wireless communication system. Background technique

[0002] In wireless communication systems, due to its good anti-multipath performance and high spectral efficiency, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted by IEEE P802.16m and Universal Mobile Communication System-Long Term Evolution ( 4G and quasi-4G technologies including Universal Mobile Telecommunication System-Long Term Evolution, UMTS-LTE) are adopted as the main transmission technology. In an OFDM system, in order to implement resource scheduling and support link adaptive technology at the receiving end, RS-based channel estimation technology is generally used to track channel changes in time domain and frequency domain.
