Abstract

The present invention relates to a channel detection method and device in a system having a large number of antennas. In an embodiment, a method used in a base station having N transmitting antennas in a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is provided, which includes: determining NBF orthogonal pilot patterns and other M orthogonal pilot patterns; performing beamforming on NBF subspaces, and sending a pilot signal on each beam, where pilot signals on the beams of the NBF subspaces are sent respectively over the NBF pilot patterns; and sending pilot signals over at least a part of the M pilot patterns through each of the N transmitting antennas, in a manner that sub-directions in each subspace use the orthogonal pilot patterns, where a value of NBF is 10%~15% of N, and a value of M is 15%~50% of N. By using channel sparsity of the system having a large number of antennas, pilot overhead is reduced, and at least equivalent system performance can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to mobile communication technology, and more specifically, to a multiple user multiple input multiple output (Multiple User Multiple Input Multiple Output, MU MIMO) transmission technology. Background technique [0002] As the number of base station antennas increases, pilot overhead becomes an increasingly serious problem, especially for physical channel estimation in the downlink of frequency division duplex (FDD) systems, which usually require different antennas to use Orthogonal pilot patterns. Therefore, the pilot overhead increases linearly with the number of antennas, which severely weakens the capacity gain brought by more antennas. In a large-scale antenna system, more than 100 antennas may be used in a base station, and it is very difficult to assign mutually orthogonal pilot patterns to all antennas. Therefore, accurate downlink physical channel estimation and many subsequent downlink closed-loop MIM...
