Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of data processing, and in particular, to a joint channel estimation method and related devices. Background Art

[0002] The performance of a mobile wireless communication system is greatly affected by the wireless channel, such as shadow fading and frequency selective fading, etc., making the propagation path between the access network device and the terminal device very complex. The wireless channel is not fixed and predictable like a wired channel, but has great randomness. Therefore, channel estimation is required in the coherent detection of a mobile wireless communication system, and the accuracy of channel estimation will directly affect the performance of the entire system.

[0003] In the existing new radio (NR) network protocol, the access network device and the terminal device can configure a preamble and zero or three additional pilots for the channel, or can configure two preambles and zero or two additional pilots for the channel. The preamble and the additional pilots are used for channel estimation. The faster the moving speed of the terminal device, the higher the requirement for the time-domain density of the pilots. In the existing channel estimation schemes, usually, channel estimation is first performed according to each pilot signal, then frequency offset estimation and frequency offset phase compensation are performed, and finally, channel estimation of the physical uplink shared channel data symbols is performed.

[0004] In the existing channel estimation schemes, on the one hand, channel estimation can only be performed according to the configured pilot signals. When the moving speed of the terminal increases, only by increasing the pilots can the normal channel estimation quality be ensured, resulting in waste of network resources; on the other hand, when the number of configured pilot signals reaches the maximum value supported by the protocol, the performance of channel estimation cannot be improved.

[0030] The embodiments of the present application provide a combined channel estimation method and related devices, which are used to improve the performance of channel estimation without increasing pilots.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art will know that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0032] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not have to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments described here can be implemented in an order other than that shown or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the performance of a mobile wireless communication system is greatly affected by the wireless channel, such as shadow fading and frequency-selective fading, etc., making the propagation path between the access network device and the terminal device very complex. The wireless channel is not fixed and predictable like a wired channel, but has great randomness. Therefore, channel estimation is required in the coherent detection of a mobile wireless communication system, and the accuracy of channel estimation will directly affect the performance of the entire system. In the existing new radio (NR) network protocol, the access network device and the terminal device can configure a preamble and zero or three additional pilots for the channel, or can configure two preambles for the channel and zero or two additional pilots. The preamble and additional pilots are used for channel estimation. The faster the moving speed of the terminal device, the higher the requirement for the time-domain density of the pilots. The existing channel estimation schemes usually first perform channel estimation according to each pilot signal, then perform frequency offset estimation and frequency offset phase compensation, and finally perform physical uplink shared channel data symbol channel estimation.

[0034] As Figure 2As shown in the figure, in the embodiments of the present application, the access network device involved is a device deployed in a radio access network to provide wireless communication functions for terminal devices. The access network device may include various forms of macro base stations, micro base stations (i.e., small stations), relay stations, access points, etc. In systems adopting different radio access technologies, the name of the access network device may be different. For example, the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) or Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network, the Node B (NB) in the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), the eNB or eNodeB (Evolutional NodeB) in the Long Term Evolution (LTE). The access network device may also be a radio controller in the Cloud Radio Access Network (CRAN) scenario. The access network device may also be a base station device in a 5G network or an access network device in a future evolved PLMN network. The access network device may also be a wearable device or a vehicle-mounted device. The access network device may also be a Transmission and Reception Point (TRP).

[0035] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal devices involved may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices, or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem that have wireless communication functions. The terminal device may be a Mobile Station (MS), subscriber unit, cellular phone, smart phone, wireless data card, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) computer, tablet computer, wireless modem, handset, laptop computer, and Machine Type Communication (MTC) and other terminal devices.

[0036] Based on the mobile wireless communication system including the above-mentioned access network device and terminal device, the joint channel estimation method in the embodiments of the present application will be described below:

[0037] Please refer toFigure 3 , one process of the joint channel estimation method in the embodiments of the present application includes:

[0038] 301. The access network device receives the pilot signal sent by the terminal device.

[0039] The access network device receives the pilot signal sent by the terminal device. The pilot signal may include a preamble pilot and an additional pilot.

[0040] 302. The access network device determines that the terminal device meets the preset condition.

[0041] The access network device determines that the terminal device meets the preset condition for joint channel estimation. Specifically, if the access network device determines that the positions of the user scheduling resource blocks in the first subframe slot and the second slot are the same, the access network device determines that the terminal device meets the preset condition, that is, the access network device determines that joint channel estimation can be performed.

[0042] Specifically, the preset condition may be that the positions of the user scheduling resource blocks in the first subframe slot and the second slot are the same, or the terminal device has no timing adjustment. In addition, it may also be other preset conditions related to the terminal device. For example, it may be that the positions of the user scheduling resource blocks in the first subframe slot and the second slot are the same, and the terminal device has no timing adjustment; specifically, it is not limited here.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, for the access network device to determine whether the terminal device has timing adjustment, specifically, the access network device segments the scheduling physical resource block (PRB), and then determines the maximum frequency offset estimation difference between the first subframe slot and the second slot. This subframe is a subframe of a radio frame, and the first slot and the second slot are adjacent subframes. The maximum frequency offset estimation difference is the maximum value among the multiple differences of the frequency offset estimation values of each segment of the PRB in the first slot and the second slot. Then, the access network device determines whether the maximum frequency offset estimation difference is greater than a preset value. If the maximum frequency offset estimation difference is greater than the preset value, the access network device determines that the terminal device has no timing adjustment. If the maximum frequency offset estimation difference is less than the preset value, the access network device determines that the terminal device has timing adjustment.

[0044] In a possible implementation, if the access network device determines that the terminal device does not meet the preset condition for joint channel estimation, the access network device will not perform subsequent amplitude adjustment, timing adjustment, and joint channel estimation, but will perform the original single-pilot channel estimation.

[0045] 303. The access network device adjusts the amplitude difference between the first slot and the second slot.

[0046] The access network device adjusts the amplitude difference between the first slot and the second slot. Specifically, the amplitude difference between the first slot and the second slot is essentially the difference caused by the different power spectrum density. Power spectrum density, that is, the energy allocated to each resource element (RE) by the actual active power of the access network device. The actual active power of the access network device is the active power of the access network device minus the power backoff amount. The greater the actual active power of the access network device, the smaller the total number of REs, and the greater the spectrum density. The first slot and the second slot are adjacent slots, and the corresponding number of REs and the active power of the access network device are often the same. Therefore, in order to adjust the amplitude difference between the first slot and the second slot, it is often achieved by adjusting the difference in power backoff between the first slot and the second slot.

[0047] The access network device adjusts the amplitude difference between the first slot and the second slot in the following steps:

[0048] a. The access network device obtains the power backoff amount of the first slot and the power backoff amount of the second slot of the terminal device. The modulation modes corresponding to the first slot and the second slot are different, which affects the power backoff amount of the first slot and the second slot differently. The first slot and the second slot are adjacent slots. The different power backoff amounts of the first slot and the second slot may also be affected by other factors, which are not limited here.

[0049] b. The access network device converts the amplitude difference value between the first slot and the second slot into an amplitude difference linear value, where the amplitude difference value is the difference between the power backoff amount of the first slot and the power backoff amount of the second slot.

[0050] c. The access network device multiplies the amplitude difference linear value by the channel estimation value of the pilot of the second slot. The product is the corrected pilot channel estimation value of the second slot, thereby correcting the pilot channel estimation value of the second slot.

[0051] 304. The access network device eliminates the timing difference between the first slot and the second slot.

[0052] The access network device first determines the estimated value of the timing adjustment, and then adjusts the timing of the first slot according to the estimated value of the timing adjustment, thereby eliminating the timing difference between the first slot and the second slot. This timing is called timing advance (TA), which is generally used for UE uplink transmission. The timing advance refers to the amount of advance of sending data packets in advance by a corresponding time in order to make the uplink packet of the user equipment arrive at the base station device at the desired time, estimating the radio frequency transmission delay caused by the distance.

[0053] Specifically, the access network device first assumes that the timing adjustment value is within the range of {-nTs, nTs}, where Ts is the unit of timing. It determines the phase deviation between slots according to the assumed timing adjustment value, and then performs a matching search process with the actual value, and takes the one with the highest matching degree as the timing adjustment estimated value. Then, the access network device adjusts the timing according to the timing adjustment estimated value. The specific adjustment method is as follows:

[0054] H2(k, t) = H1(k, t) * e j*M , M = 2π * Nts * (k + L + S (i) +1024) / 2048.

[0055] Among them, k refers to the subcarrier index, t refers to the symbol index. Here, t can be changed to nslot = 1, e is a constant, L is the system guard band, S (i) is the starting position of the user resource block (RB), and Nts is the timing adjustment estimated value.

[0056] 305. The access network device determines the joint channel estimation value.

[0057] The access network device determines the joint channel estimation value according to the product of the determined adjusted timing and the amplitude difference linear value and the channel estimation values of the pilots in the first slot and the second slot. The specific calculation method is as follows:

[0058] H PUSCH (l, k) = W1 * H DMRS (n slot = 0, k) + J * W2 * H DMRS (n slot = 1, k)

[0059] Among them, W1 and W2 are weighting coefficients. The above formula represents obtaining the data symbol channel estimation value through interpolation of the two pilot channel estimations. J is the amplitude difference linear value between the first slot and the second slot in step 303.

[0060] Next, the access network device in the embodiment of the present application will be described.
