AI Technical Summary
In time-division multiplexing (TDM) mode, downlink transmission signals from some base stations can interfere with uplink reception from neighboring base stations, leading to a decrease in received signal quality.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of wireless communication, and in particular to a communication method and a base station. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) and 5G systems, uplink and downlink adopt a Time Division Duplexing (TDD) or a Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD) working mode. In some special deployment scenarios, such as in a time division working mode, different base stations adopt different frame structure configurations, and there may be a situation as shown in the following table, in which some base stations perform downlink transmission in some time slots, and adjacent base stations perform uplink reception. These time slots are referred to as cross-interference time slots. In these time slots, although each base station is in a state of either transmission or reception, the system is in a full-duplex working mode of simultaneous transmission and reception. In this scenario, for a base station that is in a receiving state, the uplink reception signal of the base station contains the interference signal of the downlink transmission of the adjacent base station, and therefore, the interference cancellation method needs to be considered for the base station that is in a receiving state.

[0077] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the described embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0078] The interference cancellation method available in the full duplex system at present is that each base station transmits a calibration sequence known by each base station in a specific time slot (calibration time slot), and other base stations receive, and each base station obtains the channel information of the downlink interference signal of the adjacent station through the method:
[0079] (1) When a base station i receives the calibration sequence transmitted by a base station j in the calibration time slot at a receiving level higher than a certain level, the base station i can obtain the channel information Hij (i is the receiving base station and j is the transmitting base station); otherwise, it is considered that the base station j has no downlink transmission interference to the base station i.
[0080] (2) In the calibration time slot, different base stations transmit the calibration sequence in a predetermined order, and all other base stations receive, detect and estimate the channel. According to the channel measurement result in the calibration time slot, each base station maintains a list of Hij and continuously updates it according to the calibration result.
[0081] (3) In the cross interference time slot, the base station receiving the uplink signal removes Hij*Sj from the received signal according to Hij and the downlink signal Sj of the adjacent interfering base station, and obtains the useful signal of the uplink reception.
[0082] However, the interference cancellation method at present has the following problems:
[0083] (1) To complete one round of calibration, all base stations need to experience a process of "transmitting the calibration sequence in the calibration time slot and receiving multiple times", and the calibration time slot is generally arranged at a specific time of the 5ms frame structure, so that one round of Hij update needs N(N-1)*5ms / 2, N is the number of base stations involved in the cross time slot interference, and the longer the time for one round of calibration is, the larger the number of deployed sites is.
[0084] (2) When the calibration time is too long, the Hij used in the interference signal cancellation in the cross interference time slot is obtained at the last calibration time, which may have changed at present, resulting in inaccurate and incomplete interference cancellation.
[0085] (3) The calibration time slot occupies the normal transmission and reception time of the system, to a certain extent, reduces the data transmission time, and causes the loss of the uplink and downlink throughput of the system.
[0086] (4) In order to remove interference in the uplink received signal, different base stations need to exchange downlink transmit bits, and even exchange downlink in-phase / quadrature (IQ) data symbols Sj. This places very high demands on the transmission bandwidth of the Xn interface between base stations, which is difficult to implement in the industry. Therefore, this solution is mainly used between different radio units (RRUs) in the same baseband (Building Baseband Unit, BBU), and its application scenarios are somewhat limited.
[0087] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a communication method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The method is applied to a first base station and includes the following steps:
[0088] Step 21: Based on the resources and / or parameters associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station within the cross-interference time slot, perform at least one of the following:
[0089] Uplink scheduling within the cross-interference time slot;
[0090] Uplink demodulation within the cross-interference time slot;
[0091] Configure the uplink demodulation reference signal (DMRS).
[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, by scheduling uplink and / or demodulating uplink and / or configuring uplink demodulation reference signals based on the resources and / or parameters related to downlink scheduling of the second base station (i.e., the interfering base station) within the cross-interference time slot, the first base station can eliminate the interference caused by the downlink transmission signal of the second base station and demodulate the useful uplink signal.
[0093] In other words, embodiments of the present invention provide an interference cancellation method in full-duplex systems or other systems with cross-interference time slots that does not require a channel calibration process between the interfering base station and the interfered base station. This overcomes the following problems of interference cancellation methods that require an inter-base station calibration process:
[0094] (1) The extremely high interface bandwidth requirements and equipment implementation complexity caused by the need to transmit downlink transmission bits and even IQ data symbols between the harassing base station and the harassed base station;
[0095] (2) The dedicated calibration time occupies part of the uplink and downlink service transmission time, resulting in a decrease in network service performance;
[0096] (3) The time interval between calibration and actual interference cancellation is too long, and the channel changes during the period, which leads to a decrease in the accuracy of interference cancellation.
[0097] The above communication method is illustrated below.
[0098] Optionally, the parameter comprises a generation parameter of a demodulation reference signal used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot.
[0099] The at least one of the following is performed according to the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot: uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot; uplink demodulation in the cross interference time slot; configuring an uplink demodulation reference signal, comprising:
[0100] The uplink demodulation reference signal is configured for all terminals accessing the first base station, and the configured uplink demodulation reference signal is orthogonal to the downlink demodulation reference signal of the second base station, which is determined according to the generation parameter.
[0101] Embodiments of the present application need to configure, according to the generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal used by the second base station (i.e. the interfering base station) for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot, an uplink demodulation reference signal orthogonal to the downlink demodulation reference signal determined according to the generation parameter for all terminals accessing the first base station (i.e. the interfered base station), to facilitate subsequent channel estimation of the interference channel (the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station) and / or the uplink receiving channel when demodulating the uplink receiving signal.
[0102] Specifically, the base station performing downlink transmission in the cross interference time slot, i.e. the second base station, transmits the generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal pilot used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot to the first base station when establishing the Xn connection between the base stations. That is, the first base station receives the generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal pilot used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot transmitted by the second base station through the Xn interface when starting up. Thus, the first base station can configure, according to the generation parameter, an uplink demodulation reference signal orthogonal to the downlink demodulation reference signal generated according to the generation parameter for all terminals accessing the first base station. Of course, if the generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal pilot used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot is updated subsequently, the second base station needs to transmit the updated generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal pilot used for downlink scheduling to the first base station through the Xn interface, and the first base station needs to reconfigure the uplink demodulation reference signal for all terminals accessing the first base station according to the updated generation parameter.
[0103] In addition, after receiving the generation parameter of the demodulation reference signal pilot used by the second base station for downlink scheduling, the first base station configures the uplink demodulation reference signal parameter for all terminals (UE) accessing the first base station through the radio resource control (RRC) signaling. That is, the first base station (the interfered base station) should configure the uplink demodulation reference signal parameter of the cell according to the demodulation reference signal pilot parameter used by the second base station (the interfering base station) for downlink scheduling. For example, the first base station can configure the uplink demodulation reference signal in the same symbol of the same time slot as the downlink demodulation reference signal of the second base station, and the first base station issues a different scrambling ID through signaling to ensure the orthogonality of the uplink demodulation reference signal of the first base station and the downlink demodulation reference signal of the second base station.
[0104] Optionally, the at least one of the following is performed according to the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross-interference time slot: uplink scheduling in the cross-interference time slot; uplink demodulation in the cross-interference time slot; and configuration of an uplink demodulation reference signal, including:
[0105] The uplink scheduling terminal (or uplink scheduling user) and / or the uplink scheduling resource of the uplink scheduling terminal in the cross-interference time slot are determined according to the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross-interference time slot.
[0106] In addition, the first base station also needs to determine the uplink scheduling terminal and / or the uplink scheduling resource in the cross-interference time slot according to the to-be-transmitted data amount and / or uplink channel information (including uplink channel quality) of the uplink to-be-scheduled terminal.
[0107] The uplink channel information (including uplink channel quality) of each uplink to-be-scheduled terminal is obtained through the uplink channel sounding reference signal (SRS) sent by the terminal accessing the first base station.
[0108] Further optionally, before the uplink scheduling terminal and / or the uplink scheduling resource of the uplink scheduling terminal in the cross-interference time slot are determined according to the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross-interference time slot, the method further includes:
[0109] The information of the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross-interference time slot is obtained through the interface between the first base station and the second base station. The interface between the first base station and the second base station can be an Xn interface.
[0110] Specifically, if the first base station and the second base station are not co-baseband, the second base station sends the position index of the downlink scheduling resource (i.e. physical resource block (PRB)) used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot to the first base station through the Xn interface at an early preset time of the cross interference time slot. That is, the first base station receives the position index of the downlink scheduling resource used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot sent by the second base station at the early preset time of the cross interference time slot.
[0111] Unlike the interference cancellation method in the related art which brings about excessive interface bandwidth requirement and / or device implementation complexity due to the need to transmit downlink sending bits or even IQ data symbols, in the embodiment of the present application, only the information of the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross interference time slot (for example, the position index of the PRB resource used by the second base station for downlink in the cross interference time slot) needs to be exchanged between the base stations, which can be given in a bit map manner, or even fewer bits than the bit map manner, so the Xn interface bandwidth requirement is very low.
[0112] Of course, if the first base station and the second base station are co-baseband, the process of exchanging the information of the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross interference time slot through the Xn interface is not needed.
[0113] In one optional embodiment, the determining the uplink scheduling terminal and / or the uplink scheduling resource of the uplink scheduling terminal for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot according to the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross interference time slot comprises:
[0114] selecting the uplink scheduling resource orthogonal to the downlink scheduling resource in the frequency domain as the uplink scheduling resource in the cross interference time slot. That is, the uplink scheduling PRB resource orthogonal to the downlink scheduling PRB resource of the second base station (the interfering base station) in the frequency domain is selected for scheduling in the cross interference time slot.
[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the uplink resource scheduling is performed in the cross interference time slot in a frequency division manner with the downlink scheduling resource, so that the downlink sending signal of the second base station and the (useful) uplink receiving signal of the first base station can be demodulated respectively.
[0116] In another optional embodiment, the determining the uplink scheduling terminal and / or the uplink scheduling resource of the uplink scheduling terminal for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot according to the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station in the cross interference time slot further comprises:
[0117] selecting an uplink scheduling resource same as the downlink scheduling resource in frequency domain as the uplink scheduling resource in the cross interference time slot; that is, selecting an uplink scheduling PRB resource same as the downlink scheduling PRB resource of the second base station (interfering base station) in frequency domain for scheduling in the cross interference time slot.
[0118] selecting a first terminal as an uplink scheduling terminal in the cross interference time slot, the uplink channel of the first terminal having a correlation with an equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station lower than a preset threshold or being the lowest among the uplink channels of the uplink scheduling terminals, the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station being a channel from the second base station to the first base station detected by the first base station. The equivalent channel is not necessarily the actual channel from the second base station to the first base station.
[0119] In the embodiment of the present application, the uplink terminals to be scheduled are scheduled in the cross interference time slot in a manner of spatial division from the second base station, so that the useful uplink receiving signal of the first base station can be demodulated by using a demodulation mode related to spatial division scheduling.
[0120] Specifically, if the first base station has previously obtained the information of the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station, for example, has completed transmission in the previous cross interference time slot, the terminal whose uplink channel has a correlation with the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station lower than a certain threshold is selected for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot, or the terminal whose uplink channel has the lowest correlation with the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station among the uplink terminals to be scheduled is selected for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot. If the first base station has not previously obtained the information of the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station, any uplink terminal to be scheduled is selected for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot.
[0121] In addition, the above-mentioned manner of selecting the uplink scheduling resource orthogonal to the frequency domain of the downlink scheduling resource and the manner of selecting the uplink scheduling resource identical to the frequency domain of the downlink scheduling resource can exist simultaneously. Specifically, first, the uplink channel information of each uplink terminal to be scheduled is acquired, then the correlation of the uplink channel of each uplink terminal to be scheduled to the first base station and the equivalent channel of the second base station to the first base station is calculated respectively, and finally, the terminal with high correlation of the uplink channel to the equivalent channel of the second base station to the first base station is selected from the uplink terminals to be scheduled for frequency division scheduling until the frequency domain resources in the cross interference time slot are occupied, and the terminal with low correlation of the uplink channel to the equivalent channel of the second base station to the first base station is selected from the remaining uplink terminals to be scheduled for spatial division scheduling. For example, after the correlation of the uplink channel of each uplink terminal to be scheduled to the first base station and the equivalent channel of the second base station to the first base station is calculated, the uplink terminals to be scheduled are sorted in order from high to low according to the channel correlation, and the uplink terminals to be scheduled are selected in order for frequency division scheduling with the second base station in the cross interference time slot until the frequency domain resources in the cross interference time slot are fully occupied, and then the uplink terminals to be scheduled are selected in order from low to high according to the channel correlation for spatial division scheduling with the second base station.
[0122] The first base station will configure the uplink demodulation reference signal of all terminals accessing the first base station according to the resources and / or parameters related to the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot before the cross interference time slot, and select the terminals and / or resources for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot. Then, in the cross interference time slot, the second base station (i.e. the interfering base station) performs downlink scheduling according to the downlink scheduling resources in the cross interference time slot and the demodulation reference signal generated according to the generated parameters; the terminals selected for uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot perform uplink scheduling according to the uplink demodulation reference signal and the uplink scheduling resources configured by the first base station; and the first base station performs uplink reception in the cross interference time slot.
[0123] Optionally, the at least one of the following is performed according to the resources and / or parameters associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot: uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot; uplink demodulation in the cross interference time slot; and configuration of the uplink demodulation reference signal, including:
[0124] The uplink channel estimation is performed on the uplink scheduling resource using the uplink demodulation reference signal, and the useful uplink reception signal of the first base station is demodulated.
[0125] If the first base station selects the uplink scheduling resource orthogonal to the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station as the uplink scheduling resource in the cross interference time slot, the first base station can use the downlink demodulation reference signal of the second base station on the downlink scheduling resource to perform the equivalent channel estimation from the second base station to the first base station, use the uplink demodulation reference signal on the uplink scheduling resource to perform the uplink channel estimation from the terminal to the first base station, and demodulate the downlink sending signal S1 (interference signal) of the second base station and the uplink receiving signal S2 (useful signal) of the first base station after equalization. Of course, the first base station can also use the uplink demodulation reference signal on the uplink scheduling resource to perform the uplink channel estimation from the terminal to the first base station, and demodulate the uplink receiving signal S2 (useful signal) of the first base station.
[0126] Optionally, the uplink scheduling in the cross interference time slot is performed according to the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot; the uplink demodulation in the cross interference time slot is performed according to the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot; and the uplink demodulation reference signal is configured according to the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot, including:
[0127] The channel estimation of the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station is performed on the same uplink scheduling resource as the downlink scheduling resource using the downlink demodulation reference signal, and the channel estimation of the uplink channel of the first base station is performed using the uplink demodulation reference signal.
[0128] The downlink sending signal of the second base station and the useful uplink receiving signal of the first base station are demodulated according to the equivalent channel from the second base station to the first base station and the uplink channel of the first base station using a joint detection algorithm.
[0129] If the first base station selects the uplink scheduling resource same as the downlink scheduling resource of the second base station as the uplink scheduling resource in the cross interference time slot, the first base station can use the downlink demodulation reference signal of the second base station and the uplink receiving demodulation reference signal of the first base station on the same PRB to perform channel estimation, and obtain the equivalent channel H1' from the second base station to the first base station and the channel H2 experienced by the uplink receiving of the first base station.
[0130] After obtaining the equivalent channel H1' from the second base station to the first base station and the channel H2 experienced by the uplink receiving of the first base station, the first base station can demodulate the downlink sending signal S1 (interference signal) of the second base station and the uplink receiving signal S2 (useful signal) of the first base station using a joint detection algorithm.
[0131] Specifically, the first base station uses the receiver G to perform uplink receiving and interference cancellation on the uplink signal y received by the first base station in the cross interference time slot:
[0132] Gy=G(H1'S1+H2S2+n);
[0133] wherein,
[0134] G=(H H H) -1 H H .
[0135] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first base station demodulates the uplink received signal S2 (useful signal), the receiver G can demodulate the downlink transmitted signal S1 (interference signal) of the second base station and the uplink received signal S2 (useful signal) of the first base station at the same time. Moreover, the lower the correlation between the uplink scheduling terminal uplink channel H2 and the equivalent channel H1' from the second base station to the first base station, that is, the better the orthogonality between H1' and H2, the better the effect of demodulating S1 and S2 through the receiver G (that is, the higher the post-SINR).
[0136] The specific joint detection algorithm can refer to the joint detection algorithm used in the space division multiplexing demodulation in the related art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0137] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of a communication method provided by the second embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. The method is applied to the second base station and includes the following steps:
[0138] Step 31: sending the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot to the first base station.
[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, the second base station is a base station that has cross interference with the first base station, and the downlink signal of the second base station interferes with the uplink reception of the first base station. Therefore, the second base station sends the resource and / or parameter associated with the downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot to the first base station, so that the first base station can eliminate the interference caused by the downlink transmitted signal of the second base station according to the resource and / or parameter and demodulate the useful uplink signal.
[0140] Optionally, the parameters comprise generation parameters of demodulation reference signals used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot. Specifically, the second base station, when establishing the Xn connection between the first base station, sends the generation parameters of the demodulation reference signal pilots used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot to the first base station. Thus, the first base station can configure the uplink demodulation reference signals orthogonal to the downlink demodulation reference signals generated according to the generation parameters for all terminals accessing the first base station. Of course, if the generation parameters of the demodulation reference signal pilots used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot are updated subsequently, the second base station needs to send the updated generation parameters of the demodulation reference signal pilots used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot to the first base station through the Xn interface, and the first base station needs to reconfigure the uplink demodulation reference signals for all terminals accessing the first base station according to the updated generation parameters.
[0141] In other words, the sending, to the first base station, of the resources and / or parameters associated with the downlink scheduling of the second base station in the cross interference time slot comprises:
[0142] sending, to the first base station, generation parameters of demodulation reference signals used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot.
[0143] Optionally, if the first base station and the second base station do not share a baseband, the second base station sends, to the first base station through the Xn interface, a position index of downlink scheduling resources (i.e. physical resource blocks) used by the second base station for downlink scheduling in the cross interference time slot at a preset time in advance of the cross interference time slot.
