Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the original application with the application number 201680088063.4 and the original filing date of September 23, 2016, and the entire contents of the original application are incorporated herein by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication, and in particular to a resource mapping method, a transmitting end and a receiving end. BACKGROUND

[0003] In the future 5G system, full-band access will be implemented (including existing 6GHz below frequency band, and 6GHz above frequency band, up to 100GHz millimeter wave frequency band), and the non-idealities in the hardware will introduce phase noise in the 6GHz above frequency band, especially in the millimeter wave frequency band, and the phase noise will cause OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) system inter-carrier interference (ICI), which greatly reduces the system communication quality. To eliminate ICI, the most practical method is to expand the subcarrier spacing. Therefore, in the future 5G system, different subcarrier spacing configurations are adopted, so that when the system works in the high frequency band, OFDM configuration parameters with larger subcarrier spacing will be used; on the contrary, when the system works in the low frequency band, OFDM configuration parameters with smaller subcarrier spacing will be used.

[0004] In a communication system, in order to ensure that the receiver can correctly demodulate the signal, some reference signals need to be inserted while transmitting data to assist the receiver to correctly estimate the channel information, and use the estimated channel information to equalize the channel effect on the received data and improve the receiving effect of the receiver. The insertion interval of the reference signal in the frequency domain should match the coherence bandwidth of the channel, and in the time domain, it should match the coherence time of the channel.

[0005] Since the future 5G system will work at different frequencies and will use different subcarrier spacing configurations, if the fixed mapping method is still used in the high and low frequency systems, the density of the reference signal will be too small or too dense. Therefore, according to the received reference information to estimate the channel, the equivalent channel parameters obtained are not accurate enough. SUMMARY

[0057] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0058] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" and the like in the description and claims of the present application and above drawings, if any, are used for distinguishing between similar objects, and do not necessarily have a particular order or sequence. It should be understood that the data thus used are interchangeable under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments described herein can operate in other sequences than those illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms "comprise", "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or units not necessarily limited to those specifically listed, but can include other not expressly listed steps or units, or additional steps or units inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0059] In the prior art, taking the existing long term evolution (LTE) system as an example, the LTE works in a low frequency band (within 3 GHz, the spectrum of each operator may be different), the subcarrier spacing is 15 KHz, each subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols, and the time length of one subframe is 1 ms. As shown in the reference signal insertion Figure 1 , one reference signal R5 is placed on every 4 equally spaced OFDM symbols in one subframe, that is, in the data part (in the LTE, the first 3 OFDM symbols of each subframe are used for transmitting a control channel, and the reception of the control channel is based on a common pilot (CRS, Cell Reference Signal)), a reference signal is inserted every 2 OFDM symbols in time; in frequency, a reference signal is inserted every three subcarriers.

[0060] OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) can be divided into wideband channel into flat fading sub-channel, can effectively against the frequency selective fading in wideband channel, so that the system obtains very high spectral efficiency. OFDM is the most mainstream multiplexing way in the current communication system, the future 5G system will also use OFDM or based on OFDM improvement scheme as multiplexing way. In the future 5G system, work in different frequencies, then can adopt different subcarrier spacing configuration, if the high and low frequency system uses fixed mapping method, will cause the density of reference signal is too small or too dense. For example, high and low frequency all use Figure 1 Method, then in the low frequency system, there is no big problem, but in the high frequency system, due to the use of larger subcarrier spacing, at this time, the interval of reference signal will be large, for example, in the high frequency system, with subcarrier spacing 120KHz as an example, at this time, the interval of reference signal in frequency domain is 8 times of the original LTE system, since the high frequency channel still has certain frequency selectivity, then cause the reference signal in frequency domain is too sparse; And the interval of reference signal in time, only 1 / 8 of the LTE system. Because it is generally believed that high frequency system is mainly used for low speed scene, the speed supported is much lower than that of low frequency system, so it will cause the interval of reference signal in time is too dense.

[0061] The scene diagram applied by the embodiment of the present application is as shown in Figure 2 The present application is mainly applicable to communication system, including sending end and receiving end, it should be understood that Figure 2 Only one of the scenarios of the application is shown. Transmission between the sending end and the receiving end can be transmitted by radio waves, or can be transmitted by visible light, laser, infrared, optical fiber and other transmission media. The network elements involved in the sending end can include base stations, wireless access points, user equipment (UE), and the network elements involved in the receiving end can include user equipment, terminals, mobile stations (MS) or base stations, etc. In a preferred embodiment, the sending end is a base station and the receiving end is user equipment; or the sending end is user equipment and the receiving end is a base station.

[0062] In this invention, the base station determines the interval of the reference signal in the frequency and time domains based on the configuration parameters of the determined OFDM subcarrier intervals and / or the current operating frequency and / or the currently supported mobile speed, and maps the reference signal onto the corresponding time-frequency resources scheduled for the current UE according to the aforementioned intervals. The UE determines the interval of the reference signal in the frequency and time domains based on the configuration parameters of the OFDM subcarrier intervals and / or the current operating frequency and / or the currently supported mobile speed, and receives the reference signal on the corresponding time-frequency resources within the time-frequency resource range specified by the base station according to the aforementioned intervals. Compared with the prior art, the reference signal resource mapping method provided by this invention enables the reference signal density to flexibly adapt to the problem of mismatch between the reference signal density and the correlation bandwidth and coherence time of the channel at the corresponding operating frequency due to the different OFDM symbol lengths caused by different system operating frequencies.

The time slot and the subframe are composed of a plurality of OFDM symbols, for example, in LTE, one subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols and one time slot contains 7 OFDM symbols, that is, one subframe contains 2 time slots.

[0084] For example, if the subcarrier spacing is 15*2 n KHz, the interval in time dimension can be 3*2 n OFDM symbols if taking OFDM symbol as an example, or 2 n-2 subframes if taking subframe as an example. It should be noted that when the number of subframes in the interval is a fraction, it means that one subframe contains a plurality of resources for transmitting the reference signal.

[0085] In addition, it should be understood that the interval of the reference signal can also be determined according to the subcarrier spacing, the working frequency, the supported moving speed and / or the scheduled bandwidth information, etc. Taking OFDM symbol as an example, an example of a table is given as shown in Table 1. For the same working frequency, different moving speeds are determined according to the actual working scene, for example, 3km / h corresponds to the downlink access, and 1km / h corresponds to the scene of the backhaul link.

[0086]

[0087] Table 1

[0088] B: the interval in frequency dimension: it can be in units of subcarrier or subband. The subband is composed of a plurality of continuous subcarriers.

[0089] Further, according to the interval in time dimension or the interval in frequency dimension obtained above, how to obtain the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal in the embodiment of the present application will be described as follows:

[0090] 1) the interval of the reference signal includes the interval in time dimension;

[0091] ① The unit of the interval in the time dimension is OFDM symbol, and the subcarrier interval configuration parameter information includes the OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0092] That is, in the time domain, when the interval is OFDM symbol, the modulo method can be used to determine:

[0093] mod(n, N) = a (1)

[0094] Where n is the OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, N represents the above determined interval in the time dimension, a is a preset value, and the value range is 0≤a

[0095] ② When the interval in the time dimension is subframe, the subcarrier interval configuration parameter information includes the subframe number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0096] Still use formula (1), but n is the subframe number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, after determining the value that satisfies formula (1) in all n, further determine l as:

[0097] l = {(n-1) x L + l1, (n-1) x L + l2,..., (n-1) x L + l A} (2)

[0098] Where L represents the number of OFDM symbols contained in each subframe, and A represents the number of reference signals contained in each subframe containing reference signals in the time dimension; It should be understood that here l is a set, where l1, l2...l A are a series of preset values.

[0099] 2) The interval of the reference signal includes the interval in the frequency dimension;

[0100] ① The unit of the interval in the frequency dimension is subcarrier, and the subcarrier interval configuration parameter information includes the subcarrier number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0101] In the frequency domain, when the interval in the frequency dimension is subcarrier, the modulo method as formula (1) can be used to determine:

[0102] mod(m, M) = b (3)

[0103] Where m is the subcarrier number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, M represents the above determined interval in the frequency dimension, b is a preset value, and the value range is 0≤b

[0104] When the interval of the frequency dimension is in units of subbands, the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information includes the subband number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0105] Still, formula (3) can be used, but m is the subband number of the scheduled time-frequency resource. After the values satisfying formula (3) are determined among all m, k is further determined as:

[0106] k = {(m-1) x K + k1, (m-1) x K + k2,..., (m-1) x K + k B} (4)

[0107] K represents the number of subcarriers contained in each subband, and B represents the number of reference signals contained in each reference signal subband in the frequency dimension; it should be understood that k here is a set, wherein k1, k2,..., k B are a series of preset values.

[0108] (3) The user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the currently working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information, and according to a preset rule.

[0109] For example, in the prior art, the subcarrier spacing of the LTE system is 15KHz, each subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols, and the duration of one subframe is 1ms. Then, the reference signal will be placed on 4 equally spaced OFDM symbols in one subframe. In the 5G, 6G, etc. communication system, if the subcarrier spacing is 120KHz, then 120KHz is 8 times of 15KHz. If a fixed mapping method is used, then the interval of the reference signal in the frequency domain is 8 times of the original LTE system, resulting in that the reference signal is too sparse in the frequency domain; and the interval of the reference signal in time is only 1 / 8 of the LTE system, resulting in that the interval of the reference signal in time is too dense. In frequency, a reference signal is inserted every three subcarriers; in time, a reference signal is inserted every 2 OFDM symbols, which can be referred to Table 1.

[0110] In the embodiment of the application, a preset rule can be used to determine the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal (using static configuration). That is, when the subcarrier spacing is 120KHz, in frequency, a reference signal can be inserted every 3*8 = 24 subcarriers, and in time, a reference signal can be inserted every 2 / 8 = 0.25 OFDM symbols, that is, this is the determined time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal.

[0111] 305、The base station acquires at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, currently working frequency information, currently supported moving speed, and scheduled bandwidth information;

[0112] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station acquires at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information. The subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information herein can include OFDM symbol number of scheduled time-frequency resource, and / or subframe number, and / or subcarrier number, and / or subband number and the like.

[0113] 306、The base station determines time-frequency resource positions of receiving reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information;

[0114] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station determines time-frequency resource positions of receiving reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information, and receives reference signals at the positions. Specifically, it can include:

[0115] (1) The base station determines interval of reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information, and determines time-frequency resource positions of receiving reference signals according to the interval of reference signals.

[0116] (2) The time-frequency resource positions of receiving reference signals are represented by (k, l), k is subcarrier number of reference signals, and l is OFDM symbol number of reference signals.

[0117] ① The base station determines subcarrier number k of mapping reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information, wherein OFDM symbol number l is a first preset value (i.e. l is a fixed value).

[0118] Or,

[0119] ② The base station determines OFDM symbol number l of mapping reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information, wherein subcarrier number k is a second preset value (i.e. k is a fixed value).

[0120] Or,

[0121] ③ The base station determines subcarrier number k and OFDM symbol number l of mapping reference signals according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, current supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information.

[0122] (3) The base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapping reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information, and according to a preset rule.

[0123] It should be noted that the detailed process of determining the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal can refer to step 304, and is similar to the determination of the time-frequency resource position of the mapping reference signal, which will not be repeated here. The timing of the user equipment determining the time-frequency resource position of the mapping reference signal and the base station determining the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal is not specifically limited.

[0124] 307. The user equipment transmits the reference signal to the base station;

[0125] In the embodiment of the application, the step can include steps c and d, as follows:

[0126] c. The user equipment maps the reference signal at the time-frequency resource position;

[0127] In the embodiment of the application, the user equipment maps the reference signal at the time-frequency resource position, and maps data on other resources within the scheduled time-frequency resource range, and further, the user equipment transmits the reference signal and the data to the base station after mapping.

[0128] d. The base station receives the reference signal transmitted by the user equipment at the time-frequency resource position.

[0129] In the embodiment of the application, the base station receives the reference signal transmitted by the user equipment at the time-frequency resource position determined for receiving the reference signal, and receives data transmitted on other resources within the scheduled time-frequency resource range.

[0130] 308. The base station performs channel estimation according to the received reference signal.

[0131] In the embodiment of the application, the base station performs channel estimation according to the received reference signal, and performs receiving demodulation on data on other resources within the scheduled time-frequency resource range based on the estimated channel state information.

[0132] Compared with the prior art, the reference signal resource mapping method provided by the embodiment of the present application can adapt the density of the reference signal to the problem of mismatch between the density of the reference signal and the coherence bandwidth and coherence time of the corresponding channel caused by the different OFDM symbol lengths due to different system operating frequencies. The improvement over the prior art is that in the prior art, when the system is designed, full-band access is not considered, a unique fixed operating frequency is assumed, and a subcarrier spacing is selected based on the operating frequency and the hardware level and channel scenario. In this way, the density of the reference signal in the frequency domain and the time domain is fixed. In the embodiment of the present application, the process of uplink scheduling is shown, and the density of the reference signal in the frequency domain and the time domain can be changed. The density of the reference signal in the frequency domain and the time domain can be determined according to the information including the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter, so that the density of the reference signal can still match the coherence bandwidth and the coherence time of the corresponding channel after considering that the system operates at different frequencies and uses different subcarrier spacings, thereby meeting the requirements of the communication system for receiving and transmitting.

[0133] As shown in Figure 4 , it is another embodiment schematic diagram of the resource mapping method in the embodiment of the present application, which is described by taking the sending end as the UE and the receiving end as the base station as an example, that is, the process of uplink transmission in the LTE communication process, including:

[0137] 404. The base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current operating frequency information, the currently supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information;

[0138] In the embodiment of the present application, steps 401 and 402 are the same as steps 301 and 302, and steps 403-404 are the same as steps 305-306, which will not be described here.

[0139] 405. The base station sends the configuration information of the reference signal position to the user equipment;

[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, this step can include steps e and f, as shown below:

[0141] e、 the base station sends configuration information of the reference signal position to the user equipment;

[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the base station first determines the configuration information of the reference signal position, and then sends the configuration information of the reference signal position to the user equipment. The related information of the configuration information of the reference signal position can be the interval of the reference signal in time and / or frequency. When the time interval is in units of subframes or time slots, and the frequency interval is in units of subbands, the related information can further include the offset in units of OFDM symbols in time and the offset in units of subcarriers in frequency.

[0143] f、 the user equipment receives the configuration information of the reference signal position;

[0144] In the embodiment of the present application, the user equipment receives the configuration information of the reference signal position.

When the time interval is in units of subframes or time slots, and the frequency interval is in units of subbands, the related information can further include the offset in units of OFDM symbols in time and the offset in units of subcarriers in frequency.

[0145] 406、 the user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal according to the configuration information of the reference signal position;

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, the user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal according to the configuration information of the reference signal position. The user equipment maps the reference signal on the time-frequency resource position. The specific determination method can refer to the formula (1)-formula (4) in step 304 in the embodiment shown in Figure 3

[0147] 407、 the user equipment transmits the reference signal to the base station;

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, the step includes steps g and h, as shown below:

[0149] g、 the user equipment transmits the reference signal to the base station;

[0150] In the embodiment of the present application, after the user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal, the user equipment transmits the reference signal to the base station on the time-frequency resource position, and transmits data on other resources within the scheduled time-frequency resource range.

[0154] In this embodiment of the invention, step 408 and Figure 3 Step 308 in the illustrated embodiment is the same and will not be repeated here.

[0155] In this embodiment of the invention, which is a semi-static or dynamic configuration, the base station needs to send the configuration information of the reference signal to the user equipment. The user equipment then determines the time-frequency resource location of the mapped reference signal based on the configuration information of the reference signal. The base station determines that the time-frequency resource location of the received reference signal remains unchanged.

[0156] like Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the resource mapping method in this invention. Here, the example uses the sending end as the base station and the receiving end as the UE for illustration, specifically the downlink transmission and reception process in LTE communication, including:

[0157] 501. The base station determines the time and frequency resources for which user equipment is scheduled;

[0158] 502. The base station sends downlink scheduling signaling to the user equipment. The downlink scheduling signaling includes the time and frequency resources to be scheduled.

[0159] This step may include step a and step b, as shown below:

[0160] a. The base station sends downlink scheduling signaling to the user equipment, and the downlink scheduling signaling includes the time and frequency resources to be scheduled;

[0161] b. The user equipment receives downlink scheduling signaling sent by the base station, which includes the scheduled time and frequency resources;

[0162] In this embodiment of the invention, the base station first determines the time-frequency resources used by the user equipment (UE) for downlink service. Then, based on the channel state, service request status, and current resource usage of the UEs it serves, the base station completes scheduling, determining the corresponding transmission algorithm and the time-frequency resources used by each UE. The base station sends downlink scheduling signaling to the UE, which includes the scheduled time-frequency resources. The UE receives the downlink scheduling signaling sent by the base station, which also includes the scheduled time-frequency resources.

[0163] 503. The base station obtains at least one of the following: subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, currently operating frequency information, currently supported mobile speed, and scheduled bandwidth information;

[0164] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station acquires at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, currently supported moving speed and scheduled bandwidth information according to time-frequency resources scheduled for the user equipment; the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information can include OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resources, and / or subframe number, and / or subcarrier number, and / or subband number and the like.

[0165] 504、The base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information;

[0166] In the embodiments of the present application, the base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information. After the base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal, the reference signal is mapped at the time-frequency resource position, and data is mapped at other resources within the scheduled time-frequency resource range.

[0167] Specifically, it can include:

[0168] (1) The base station determines the interval of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information; and the base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal according to the interval of the reference signal.

[0169] (2) The time-frequency resource position of the reference signal is represented by (k, l), k is the subcarrier number of the reference signal, and l is the OFDM symbol number of the reference signal.

[0170] ① The base station determines the subcarrier number k of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information, wherein the OFDM symbol number l is a first preset value (i.e. l is a fixed value);

[0171] Or,

[0172] ② The base station determines the OFDM symbol number l of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information, wherein the subcarrier number k is a second preset value (i.e. k is a fixed value);

[0173] Or,

[0174] The base station determines the subcarrier number k and the OFDM symbol number l of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information.

[0175] In the embodiment of the present application, the interval of the reference signal can be the interval in the time dimension or the interval in the frequency dimension. The interval in the time dimension and the interval in the frequency dimension are described as follows:

[0176] A: The interval in the time dimension can be in units of subframes, time slots, or OFDM symbols. The time slot and the subframe are composed of a plurality of OFDM symbols. For example, in LTE, one subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols, and one time slot contains 7 OFDM symbols, that is, one subframe contains 2 time slots.

[0177] For example, if the subcarrier spacing is 15*2 n KHz, the interval in the time dimension can be 3*2 n OFDM symbols, or the interval in the time dimension can be 2 n-2 subframes. It should be noted that when the number of subframes in the interval is a fraction, it means that one subframe contains a plurality of resources for transmitting and receiving the reference signal.

[0178] In addition, it should be understood that the interval of the reference signal can also be determined according to the subcarrier spacing, the working frequency, the supported moving speed, and / or the scheduled bandwidth information. Here, an example of a table is given in the case of OFDM symbols, as shown in Table 1. For the same working frequency, different moving speeds are determined according to the actual working scenario. For example, 3 km / h corresponds to a downlink access, and 1 km / h corresponds to a backhaul link scenario.

[0179] B: The interval in the frequency dimension can be in units of subcarriers or subbands. The subband is composed of a plurality of subcarriers.

[0180] Further, the interval in the time dimension or the interval in the frequency dimension obtained above can be used to explain how to obtain the time-frequency resource position of the reference signal in the embodiment of the present application.

[0181] 1) The interval of the reference signal includes the interval in the time dimension.

[0182] ① The unit of the interval in the time dimension is the OFDM symbol, and the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information includes the OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resource.

[0183] That is, in the time domain, when the interval is the OFDM symbol, the modulo method can be used to determine:

[0184] mod(n,N)=a (1)

[0185] wherein n is the OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, N represents the interval of the determined time dimension, a is a preset value, and the value range is 0≤a

[0186] ②When the interval of the time dimension is a subframe, the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information includes the subframe number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0187] Still using formula (1), only n is the subframe number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, and after the value satisfying formula (1) in all n is determined, l is further determined as:

[0188] l={(n-1)×L+l1,(n-1)×L+l2,...,(n-1)×L+l A} (2)

[0189] wherein L represents the number of OFDM symbols contained in each subframe, and A represents the number of reference signals in the time dimension in each subframe containing reference signals; it should be understood that l here is a set, wherein l1, l2…l A are a series of preset values.

[0190] 2) The interval of the reference signal includes the interval of the frequency dimension;

[0191] ①The unit of the interval of the frequency dimension is a subcarrier, and the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information includes the subcarrier number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0192] In the frequency domain, when the interval of the frequency dimension is a subcarrier, the modulo method such as formula (1) can be used to determine:

[0193] mod(m,M)=b (3)

[0194] wherein m is the subcarrier number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, M represents the interval of the determined frequency dimension, b is a preset value, and the value range is 0≤b

[0195] ②When the unit of the interval of the frequency dimension is a subband, the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information includes the subband number of the scheduled time-frequency resource;

[0196] Still formula (3) can be used, only m is the subband number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, and after the value satisfying formula (3) in all m is determined, k is further determined as:

[0197] k = {(m-1) x K + k1, (m-1) x K + k2,..., (m-1) x K + k B} (4)

[0198] wherein K represents the number of subcarriers contained in each subband, B represents the number of reference signals in the frequency dimension contained in each reference signal subband; it should be understood that k here is a set, wherein k1, k2...k B are a series of preset values.

[0199] (3) The base station determines the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal according to at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, currently supported mobile speed and scheduled bandwidth information, and according to a preset rule.

[0200] For example, in the prior art, the subcarrier spacing of the LTE system is 15 KHz, each subframe contains 14 OFDM symbols, and the duration of one subframe is 1 ms. Then, the reference signal will be placed on 4 equally spaced OFDM symbols in one subframe, and in the 5G, 6G and other communication systems, if the subcarrier spacing is 120 KHz, then 120 KHz is 8 times of 15 KHz, if a fixed mapping method is used, then the interval of the reference signal in the frequency domain is 8 times of the original LTE system, resulting in that the reference signal is too sparse in the frequency domain; and the interval of the reference signal in time is only 1 / 8 of the LTE system, which will cause the reference signal to be too dense in time. In frequency, a reference signal is inserted every three subcarriers; in time, a reference signal is inserted every 2 OFDM symbols, which can refer to Table 1 described above.

[0201] In the embodiment of the application, a preset rule can be used to determine the time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal (using static configuration). That is, when the subcarrier spacing is 120 KHz, in frequency, a reference signal can be inserted every 3*8 = 24 subcarriers, and in time, a reference signal can be inserted every 2 / 8 = 0.25 OFDM symbols, that is, this is the determined time-frequency resource position of the mapped reference signal.

[0202] 505, the user equipment acquires at least one of subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, current working frequency information, currently supported mobile speed and scheduled bandwidth information;

[0203] In the embodiment of the present application, the user equipment receives the downlink scheduling signaling sent by the base station, and after the downlink scheduling signaling including the scheduled time-frequency resource, the user equipment acquires at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information. The subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information here can include the OFDM symbol number of the scheduled time-frequency resource, and / or the subframe number, and / or the subcarrier number, and / or the subband number and the like.

[0204] 506、The user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information.

[0205] In the embodiment of the present application, the UE determines the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information.

[0206] It should be understood that when the static configuration is adopted here, the method of determining the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal by the UE and the method of determining the time-frequency resource position of the transmitted reference signal by the base station are the same, and specifically:

[0207] (1) The user equipment determines the interval of the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information; and the user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal according to the interval of the reference signal.

[0208] (2) The time-frequency resource position of the received reference signal is represented by (k, l), k is the subcarrier number of the reference signal, and l is the OFDM symbol number of the reference signal.

[0209] ① The user equipment determines the subcarrier number k of the received reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information, wherein the OFDM symbol number l is a first preset value.

[0210] Or,

[0211] ② The user equipment determines the OFDM symbol number l of the received reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the current working frequency information, the current supported moving speed and the scheduled bandwidth information, wherein the subcarrier number k is a second preset value.

[0212] Or,

[0213] The user equipment determines subcarrier number k and OFDM symbol number l for receiving the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the currently working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information.

[0214] The user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position for receiving the reference signal according to at least one of the subcarrier spacing configuration parameter information, the currently working frequency information, the currently supported moving speed, and the scheduled bandwidth information according to a preset rule.

[0215] It should be noted that the detailed process of determining the time-frequency resource position for receiving the reference signal can refer to step 504, and is similar to determining the time-frequency resource position for mapping the reference signal, and thus is not described herein again. The timing sequence of determining the time-frequency resource position for mapping the reference signal by the user equipment and determining the time-frequency resource position for receiving the reference signal by the base station is not specifically limited.

[0216] 507. The base station transmits the reference signal to the user equipment;

[0217] In the embodiment of the application, the step can include steps c and d, as follows:

[0218] c. The base station transmits the reference signal to the user equipment according to the time-frequency resource position;

[0219] In the embodiment of the application, the base station transmits the reference signal to the UE within the time-frequency resource range scheduled by the UE according to the determined time-frequency resource position, and transmits data on other resources in the scheduling range. That is, the base station can map and then transmit the reference signal according to the determined time-frequency resource position (k, l), or can map and then transmit the reference signal according to the density determined according to the preset rule.

[0220] d. The user equipment receives the reference signal transmitted by the base station on the time-frequency resource position;

[0221] In the embodiment of the application, after the user equipment determines the time-frequency resource position for receiving the reference signal, the user equipment receives the reference signal transmitted by the base station on the time-frequency resource position, and receives data transmitted on other resources in the scheduling time-frequency resource range.

[0223] In the embodiment of the application, the UE performs channel estimation according to the received reference signal, and performs receiving demodulation on data on other resources in the scheduling time-frequency resource range based on the estimated channel state information.

[0224] Compared with the prior art, the reference signal resource mapping method provided by the embodiment of the present application can adapt the density of the reference signal to the problem of mismatch between the density of the reference signal and the coherence bandwidth and coherence time of the corresponding channel caused by the different OFDM symbol lengths due to the different working frequencies of the system.

In the embodiment of the present application, the process of downlink scheduling is shown, and the density of the reference signal in the frequency domain and the time domain can be changed, which can be determined according to the configuration parameter information of the subcarrier spacing or other information, so that the density of the reference signal can still match the coherence bandwidth and the coherence time of the corresponding channel after considering that the system works at different frequencies with different subcarrier spacings, thereby meeting the requirements of the communication system for receiving and transmitting.
