Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communications, and more specifically, to a communication method and a communication device. Background Art
[0002] Thanks to the use of frequency division duplexers, uplink and downlink transmissions between base stations and terminal devices can occur simultaneously. Among them, uplink transmission is achieved through the uplink receiving frequency band, and downlink transmission is achieved through the downlink transmitting frequency band. The uplink receiving frequency band is different from the downlink transmitting frequency band. However, when uplink and downlink transmissions occur simultaneously, the downlink signal transmitted on the downlink may leak part of the signal to the uplink, thereby causing leakage interference to the uplink. For example, for a base station, the signal received by the base station through the uplink includes both the uplink signal and a part of the signal that the downlink signal leaks to the uplink. Summary of the invention
[0003] An embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, so that a device that receives a training signal can estimate the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the signal leaked from the sending link to the receiving link based on the training signal, thereby facilitating elimination or reduction of leakage interference of the sending link to the receiving link based on the leakage propagation characteristics.
[0004] In a first aspect, a communication method is provided. The method may be executed by a radio frequency device, or may be executed by a component (such as a chip or a circuit) of the radio frequency device, without limitation.
[0005] The method includes: receiving resource indication information, where the resource indication information is used to determine information of at least one training resource; receiving at least one training signal through the at least one training resource; and determining a leakage propagation feature based on the at least one training signal, where the leakage propagation feature is used to determine a signal leaked from a sending link to a receiving link.
[0006] Based on the above technical solution, a device (such as a control device) that sends a training signal can send resource indication information, so that a device (such as a radio frequency device) that receives the resource indication information can identify the training resource used to transmit the training signal according to the resource indication information, so that the device that receives the resource indication information can not only determine the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signal transmitted on the training resource, but also reduce the training complexity. After the device that receives the resource indication information determines the leakage propagation characteristics, it is beneficial for the device to determine the signal leaked from the sending link to the receiving link according to the leakage propagation characteristics, and eliminate or weaken the signal leaked from the sending link to the receiving link, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiving link.
[0007] In a possible implementation manner, a training resource in the at least one training resource is not used to transmit an uplink signal (or is only used to transmit a training signal), or the strength of the transmitted uplink signal is less than a strength threshold.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the method is applied to a radio frequency device, and the receiving resource indication information includes: the radio frequency device receives the resource indication information from the control device through an interface between a first module included in the radio frequency device and the control device; wherein the first module is used to determine the leakage propagation characteristic based on the at least one training signal.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, when there is an interface between the control device and the first module of the radio frequency device, the control device can directly send the resource indication information to the first module through the interface, thereby reducing the transmission delay of the resource indication information.
[0010] Exemplarily, the interface between the first module and the control device is an interface between the first module and a layer 2 (layer 2, L2) control module of the control device, or an interface between the first module and a layer (layer 3, L3) control module of the control device.
[0011] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the resource indication information includes one or more of the following: the time domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource, the time domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource, the frequency domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource, and the frequency domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource.
[0012] Based on the above technical solution, when the resource indication information includes one or more of the above, the device that receives the resource indication information can determine the time domain position and / or frequency domain position of at least one training resource according to the resource indication information.
[0013] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the resource indication information includes N bits, the N bits correspond one-to-one to N time domain units, and the nth bit of the N bits is used to indicate whether the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit belongs to the at least one training resource; wherein N is a positive integer, n=1, 2,…, N.
[0014] It can be understood that when the resource indication information includes N bits, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource and determine the time domain starting position of each training resource in at least one training resource based on the N bits. In other words, the N bits are a representation of the time domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource and / or the time domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the at least one training resource includes N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources, the N1 first training resources are located before the N2 second training resources in the time domain, and the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is smaller than the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources; wherein N1 and N2 are both positive integers.
[0016] Based on the above technical solution, since the N1 first training resources are densely distributed in the time domain, the device that receives the resource indication information estimates the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signals transmitted on the N1 first training resources and converges to the target performance faster. The N2 second training resources are sparsely distributed in the time domain, so that the device that receives the resource indication information can update the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signals transmitted on the N2 second training resources with little impact on uplink service scheduling, thereby improving the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics.
[0017] Exemplarily, the N1 first training resources are continuous training resources, that is, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is 0.
[0018] Exemplarily, the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase.
[0019] Based on the above technical solution, since specific service indicators are generally not counted in the cell restart phase, or in other words, uplink services may not be scheduled in the cell restart phase. Furthermore, when the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase, the N1 first training resources are not used to transmit uplink signals, which is conducive to the device receiving the resource indication information to determine more accurate leakage propagation characteristics.
[0020] Exemplarily, in the case where at least one training resource includes N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources, the resource indication information includes one or more of the following: the starting time domain position of the at least one training resource, N1, N2, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources among the N1 first training resources, and the time interval between two adjacent second training resources among the N2 second training resources.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the at least one training resource includes a third training resource, the frequency domain resources of the third training resource are the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resources of the third training resource are sparsely distributed on the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resources of the third training resource include a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmission link.
[0022] Exemplarily, if the frequency domain resources of the third training resource include a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmitting link, then the at least one training resource also includes a fourth training resource, the time domain resources of the fourth training resource are different from the time domain resources of the third training resource, and the frequency domain resources of the fourth training resource include the remaining frequency bands in the full frequency band not occupied by the third training resource.
[0023] Based on the above technical solution, if the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is sparsely distributed on the full frequency band of the transmission link, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the complete downlink bandwidth according to the training signal transmitted on the third training resource. If the frequency domain resource of the third training resource includes a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmission link, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the complete downlink bandwidth in combination with the training signals transmitted on the third training resource and the fourth training resource.
[0024] In a second aspect, a communication method is provided. The method may be executed by a control device, or may be executed by a component (such as a chip or a circuit) of the control device, without limitation.
[0025] The method includes: sending resource indication information, where the resource indication information is used to determine information of at least one training resource; sending at least one training signal through the at least one training resource, where the at least one training signal is used to determine a leakage propagation feature, where the leakage propagation feature is used to determine a signal leaked from a sending link to a receiving link.
[0026] Based on the above technical solution, a device (such as a control device) that sends a training signal can send resource indication information, so that a device (such as a radio frequency device) that receives the resource indication information can distinguish between training resources used to transmit training signals and non-training resources that are not used to transmit training signals according to the resource indication information, so that the device that receives the resource indication information can not only determine the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signal transmitted on the training resource, but also reduce the training complexity. After the device that receives the resource indication information determines the leakage propagation characteristics, it is beneficial for the device to determine the signal leaked from the sending link to the receiving link according to the leakage propagation characteristics, and eliminate or weaken the signal leaked from the sending link to the receiving link, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the receiving link.
[0027] In one possible implementation, the method is applied to a control device, and the sending of resource indication information includes: the control device sends the resource indication information to the radio frequency device through an interface between a first module included in the radio frequency device and the control device; wherein the first module is used to determine the leakage propagation characteristic based on the at least one training signal.
[0028] Based on the above technical solution, when there is an interface between the control device and the first module of the radio frequency device, the control device can directly send the resource indication information to the first module through the interface, thereby reducing the transmission delay of the resource indication information.
[0029] Exemplarily, the interface between the first module and the control device is an interface between the first module and an L2 control module of the control device, or an interface between the first module and an L3 control module of the control device.
[0030] In combination with the second aspect, in certain implementations of the second aspect, the resource indication information includes one or more of the following: the time domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource, the time domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource, the frequency domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource, and the frequency domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource.
[0031] Based on the above technical solution, when the resource indication information includes one or more of the above, the device that receives the resource indication information can determine the time domain position and / or frequency domain position of at least one training resource according to the resource indication information.
[0032] In combination with the second aspect, in certain implementations of the second aspect, the resource indication information includes N bits, the N bits correspond one-to-one to N time domain units, and the nth bit of the N bits is used to indicate whether the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit belongs to the at least one training resource; wherein N is a positive integer, n=1, 2,…, N.
[0033] It can be understood that when the resource indication information includes N bits, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource and determine the time domain starting position of each training resource in at least one training resource based on the N bits. In other words, the N bits are a representation of the time domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource and / or the time domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource.
[0034] In one possible implementation, the at least one training resource includes N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources, the N1 first training resources are located before the N2 second training resources in the time domain, and the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is smaller than the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources; wherein N1 and N2 are both positive integers.
[0035] Based on the above technical solution, since the N1 first training resources are densely distributed in the time domain, the device receiving the resource indication information estimates the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signals transmitted on the N1 first training resources and converges to the target performance faster. The N2 second training resources are sparsely distributed in the time domain, so that the device receiving the resource indication information can update the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signals transmitted on the N2 second training resources with little impact on uplink service scheduling, thereby determining the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics.
[0036] Exemplarily, the N1 first training resources are continuous training resources, that is, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is 0.
[0037] Exemplarily, the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase.
[0038] Based on the above technical solution, since specific service indicators are generally not counted in the cell restart phase, or in other words, uplink services may not be scheduled in the cell restart phase. Furthermore, when the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase, the N1 first training resources are not used to transmit uplink signals, which is conducive to the device receiving the resource indication information to determine more accurate leakage propagation characteristics.
[0039] Exemplarily, in the case where at least one training resource includes N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources, the resource indication information includes one or more of the following: the starting time domain position of the at least one training resource, N1, N2, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources among the N1 first training resources, and the time interval between two adjacent second training resources among the N2 second training resources.
[0040] In one possible implementation, the at least one training resource includes a third training resource, the frequency domain resources of the third training resource are the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resources of the third training resource are sparsely distributed on the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resources of the third training resource include a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmission link.
[0041] Exemplarily, if the frequency domain resources of the third training resource include a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmitting link, then the at least one training resource also includes a fourth training resource, the time domain resources of the fourth training resource are different from the time domain resources of the third training resource, and the frequency domain resources of the fourth training resource include the remaining frequency bands in the full frequency band not occupied by the third training resource.
[0042] Based on the above technical solution, if the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is the full frequency band of the transmission link, or the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is sparsely distributed on the full frequency band of the transmission link, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the complete downlink bandwidth according to the training signal transmitted on the third training resource. If the frequency domain resource of the third training resource includes a partial frequency band of the full frequency band of the transmission link, the device receiving the resource indication information can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the complete downlink bandwidth in combination with the training signals transmitted on the third training resource and the fourth training resource.
[0043] In combination with the second aspect, in some implementations of the second aspect, the method further includes: determining the at least one training resource according to a scheduling requirement of an actual downlink service.
[0044] Exemplarily, a training resource in the at least one training resource is not used to transmit an uplink signal, or the strength of the transmitted uplink signal is less than a strength threshold.
[0045] Based on the above technical solution, when at least one training resource is determined according to the actual uplink and downlink service scheduling requirements, the impact on the actual downlink service scheduling can be reduced, and / or the virtual loading of the downlink transmission signal can be reduced, while ensuring the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics determined by the device receiving the resource indication information according to the training signal transmitted on at least one training resource, so as to achieve energy saving. For example, if the downlink service signals transmitted on time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, then time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 can be determined as training resources. Furthermore, since the downlink service signals transmitted on time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, the device sending the training signal does not need to load an additional virtual downlink signal on a frequency band other than the frequency band used to transmit the downlink service signal on time domain resources #1 or time domain resources #2 in order to construct a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, thereby achieving energy saving.

[0106] In addition, the network architecture and business scenarios described in the embodiments of the present application are intended to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can know that with the evolution of network architecture and the emergence of new business scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.
[0107] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, first Figure 1 An application scenario of an embodiment of the present application is described.
[0108] Figure 1 It is a system architecture suitable for the method provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1As shown, the system includes: a control device 110 and a radio frequency device 120. The control device 110 can be used as the main device of the base station to process digital baseband signals and provide functional control and management of various devices of the base station. The radio frequency device 120 can be used as the radio frequency module of the base station to process intermediate frequency signals and / or radio frequency signals, and can also be used to receive and transmit wireless signals.
[0109] The control device 110 and the radio frequency device 120 are connected via a first interface. The first interface may be any one of the following interfaces: a common public radio interface (CPRI), an enhanced CPRI (eCPRI) interface, or an interface defined in the future for connecting the control device and the radio frequency device. Exemplarily, the first interface may be called a fronthaul interface.
[0110] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific types of the control device 110 and the radio frequency device 120. As long as the two devices are connected through the first interface, they can be equivalent to the control device 110 and the radio frequency device 120 in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the control device 110 can be any one of the following: a baseband unit (BBU or BU), a distributed unit (DU), and a centralized unit (CU). Exemplarily, the radio frequency device 120 can be any one of the following: a radio remote unit (RRU), a radio unit (RU), and an active antenna unit (AAU).
[0111] In some deployments, the control device 110 may include a CU and a DU, wherein the DU is connected to the radio device 120 via a first interface. Furthermore, the CU may also adopt an architecture in which a control plane (CP) and a user plane (UP) are separated, that is, the CU may include a CU-CP entity and a CU-UP entity.
[0112] It should also be noted that Figure 1 In the example, the control device 110 is connected to one radio frequency device 120 , and the control device 110 may also be connected to more radio frequency devices.
[0113] In a wireless communication system, the communication between a base station and a terminal device generally forms a communication loop through a downlink (DL) link and an uplink (UL) link.
[0114] In one possible implementation, thanks to the use of a frequency division duplexer, uplink and downlink transmissions between a base station and a terminal device can occur simultaneously. The uplink transmission is achieved through an uplink receiving frequency band, and the downlink transmission is achieved through a downlink transmitting frequency band, and the uplink receiving frequency band is different from the downlink transmitting frequency band. However, when uplink and downlink transmissions occur simultaneously, a portion of the downlink signal transmitted on the downlink may leak to the uplink, thereby causing leakage interference to the uplink. For example, for a base station, the signal received by the base station through the uplink includes both an uplink signal and a portion of the downlink signal leaked to the uplink. The downlink signal leaks to the uplink, which can also be said to be the transmission signal in the downlink transmitting frequency band leaking to the uplink receiving frequency band of the uplink.
[0115] In order to avoid strong interference caused by the downlink to the uplink, the leakage isolation between the uplink and the downlink can be improved through filters or sufficient physical isolation between the base station and the terminal device.
[0116] Figure 2 Taking the uplink receiving frequency band as the N28 frequency band (703 megahertz (MHz) ~ 733MHz) and the downlink transmitting frequency band as the N67 frequency band (738MHz ~ 758MHz) as an example, a schematic diagram of using a transmitting filter to suppress interference leaked from the downlink to the uplink is shown. The main principle is to set a filter corresponding to the bandwidth of the downlink transmitting frequency band in the downlink transmitting frequency band, and set a frequency domain protection band between the downlink transmitting frequency band and the uplink receiving frequency band. The filter can filter out the interference signal leaked from the downlink to the uplink in the uplink.
[0117] like Figure 2 As shown in (a) in FIG. 1 , the uplink receiving frequency band is the N28 frequency band (703MHz to 733MHz), and the downlink sending frequency band is the N67 frequency band (738MHz to 758MHz). Figure 2 As shown in (b) in FIG, if the frequency domain interval between the transmission frequency band of the downlink signal and the transmission frequency band of the uplink signal is large, the signal amplitude outside the transmission bandwidth of the downlink signal can be reduced as much as possible through the filter, thereby reducing the interference to the uplink. Figure 2 As shown in the left figure of (b), the downlink signal is suppressed in the frequency band where the uplink signal is located. If the frequency domain interval between the transmission bandwidth of the downlink signal and the transmission bandwidth of the uplink signal is small, the filter is not sufficient to reduce the signal outside the transmission bandwidth of the downlink signal, such as Figure 2As shown in the right figure in (b), in the frequency band where the uplink signal is located, there are some downlink signals in the uplink signal band close to the downlink signal band. In addition, the greater the filter's suppression of the leakage signal, the higher its design cost. If the frequency domain interval between the uplink receiving frequency band and the downlink transmitting frequency band is increased in order to improve the filter's suppression effect on the leakage signal, the greater the waste of frequency domain resources.
[0118] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication method, so that the radio frequency device can estimate the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the signal leaked from the transmitting link to the receiving link, thereby facilitating the radio frequency device to eliminate or reduce the leakage interference of the transmitting link to the receiving link according to the leakage propagation characteristics.
[0119] It should be understood that, for ease of understanding and explanation, the following text will describe in detail the method provided in the embodiment of the present application by taking the interaction between the control device and the radio frequency device as an example, but this should not constitute any limitation on the execution subject of the method provided in the present application. For example, the radio frequency device shown in the following embodiment can be replaced by a component configured in the radio frequency device (such as a circuit, a chip, or a chip system, etc.), and the control device shown in the following embodiment can be replaced by a component configured in the control device (such as a circuit, a chip, or a chip system, etc.).
[0120] Figure 3 A schematic flow chart of a communication method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, method 300 may include the following steps.
[0121] S310: The control device sends resource indication information to the radio frequency device.
[0122] Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives the resource indication information from the control device.
[0123] The resource indication information is used to determine at least one training resource, each of the at least one training resource can be used to send a training signal, the training signal is used for the radio frequency device to determine the leakage propagation characteristics, and the leakage propagation characteristics are used to determine the leakage signal of the downlink signal transmitted on the transmission link (downlink) of the radio frequency device leaking to the receiving link (uplink) of the radio frequency device. Among them, the training signal can be a business signal, or a signal that does not carry business data, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0124] Exemplarily, the resource indication information may include one or more of the following: the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the starting time domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource, the frequency domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, and the starting frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource.
[0125] The time domain length of the training resource may be one or more sub-frames, one or more time slots, or one or more symbols, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, if the time domain length of the training resource is a value predefined by a protocol or standard, for example, the protocol or standard predefines the time domain length of the training resource as a subframe, then the starting time domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource in the resource indication information can be used to determine which time domain resources are used as training resources. For another example, if the time domain lengths of different training resources in at least one training resource are the same, the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource in the resource indication information can be represented by a time domain length value. Accordingly, when the resource indication information includes a time domain length value, the radio frequency device can determine that the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource is the time domain length. .
[0126] The starting time domain position of the training resource may be the position of the first subframe occupied by the training resource, the position of the first time slot occupied, or the position of the first symbol occupied. For example, if the time interval between adjacent training resources in at least one training resource is fixed, the resource indication information may include the starting time domain position of the first training resource in at least one training resource. Optionally, the time interval between adjacent training resources in at least one training resource is an interval predefined by a protocol or standard, or the resource indication information also includes the time interval between adjacent training resources in at least one training resource.
[0127] The frequency domain length of the training resource may be one or more sub-bands, one or more sub-channels, or one or more physical resource blocks (PRBs), which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, if the frequency domain length of the training resource is a value predefined by a protocol or standard, for example, the frequency domain length of the training resource predefined by the protocol or standard is a sub-channel, or the frequency domain length of the training resource is the full bandwidth of the transmission link of the radio frequency device, the frequency domain resource that can be used as the training resource can be determined by the starting frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource in the resource indication information, or the frequency domain resource of each training resource in at least one training resource can be determined to be the full bandwidth of the transmission link of the radio frequency device. For another example, if the frequency domain lengths of different training resources in at least one training resource are the same, the resource indication information may include a frequency domain length value, and then the radio frequency device may determine that the frequency domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource is the frequency domain length, then the frequency domain resource as the training resource can be determined according to the starting frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource.
[0128] The starting frequency domain position of the training resource may be the position of the first subband occupied by the training resource, the position of the first subchannel occupied, or the position of the first PRB occupied. For example, if the starting frequency domain positions of different training resources in at least one training resource are the same, the resource indication information may include a starting frequency domain position.
[0129] Optionally, if the frequency domain resources of one or more training resources in at least one training resource are discontinuous in the frequency domain, the interval between the frequency domain resources of multiple training resources may be predefined by the protocol or standard, or the resource indication information may include the interval between the frequency domain resources of multiple training resources.
[0130] In a possible implementation, the resource indication information may include N bits, the N bits correspond to N training resources one by one, and the nth bit of the N bits is used to indicate whether the time domain resource corresponding to the nth bit is used as a training resource. N is a positive integer, n=1, 2, ..., N.
[0131] It should be understood that if at least one training resource includes a time domain resource, the time domain resource occupied by any one of the training resources may be regarded as a multiple of a time domain unit, and the time domain unit may be a subframe, a time slot or a symbol, etc.
[0132] For example, if the multiple is 1, then any training resource is a resource corresponding to a time domain unit, and the value of the nth bit is set to "1", it means that the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit can be used as a training resource, and the value of the nth bit is set to "0", it means that the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit is not used as a training resource. Alternatively, the value of the nth bit is set to "0", it means that the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit can be used as a training resource, and the value of the nth bit is set to "1", it means that the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit is not used as a training resource.
[0133] It can be understood that the N bits are a representation of the time domain length of each training resource in the at least one training resource and / or the time domain starting position of each training resource in the at least one training resource.
[0134] Figure 4(a) shows 8 time domain units, namely, time domain unit 1 to time domain unit 8. Among them, time domain unit 1, time domain unit 2, time domain unit 4, time domain unit 6 and time domain unit 8 are non-training resources, and the remaining time domain units are training resources. The resource indication information may include 8 bits corresponding to time domain unit 1 to time domain unit 8, and the 8 bits are set to "11010101" to indicate whether each time domain unit in time domain unit 1 to time domain unit 8 belongs to a training resource. In this example, 1 represents not being a training resource. It can be understood that the time unit corresponding to 1 can also be regarded as a training resource, then correspondingly, the time unit corresponding to 0 is regarded as a non-training resource, which is not limited in this application. .
[0135] based on Figure 4 From the example (a), it can be seen that the time domain positions of the three training resources can be determined according to the 8 bits included in the resource indication information, that is, the time domain positions of the three training resources are time domain unit 3, time domain unit 5 and time domain unit 7 respectively, and when the time domain position of the training resource is determined, the starting time domain position and time domain length of the training resource can also be determined. For example, the starting time domain position of the training resource whose time domain position is time domain unit 3 is time domain unit 3, and the time domain length is one time domain unit. Therefore, it can be said that N bits are a form of expression of the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource and / or the time domain starting position of each training resource in at least one training resource.
[0136] In a possible implementation, the control device sends the resource indication information to the radio frequency device through an interface between the control device and a first module included in the radio frequency device. In other words, the control device sends the resource indication information to the first module through an interface between the control device and the first module.
[0137] Exemplarily, the interface between the control device and the first module is an interface between a layer 2 (layer 2, L2) control module of the control device and the first device, or an interface between a layer 3 (layer 3, L3) control module of the control device and the first device. The interface between the control device and the first module can be connected by wires.
[0138] Exemplarily, the first module may be called a power amplifier leakage cancellation (PALC) module. The first module may be a physical entity or a logic circuit, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0139] The control device may send resource indication information to the radio frequency device in a semi-static or dynamic manner, or in other words, the resource indication information sent by the control device may be semi-static or dynamic, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, if at least one training resource is a periodic resource, the control device may send resource indication information to the radio frequency device in a semi-static manner. For another example, if at least one training resource is a non-periodic resource, the control device may send resource indication information to the radio frequency device in a dynamic manner. For example, at least one training resource includes M training resources, and the control device may dynamically send M' resource indication information to the radio frequency device, each of the M' resource indication information is used to indicate one or more training resources among the M training resources, and different resource indication information in the M' resource indication information indicates different training resources. M and M' are positive integers.
[0140] It can be understood that the above-mentioned semi-static means that the frequency of sending the indication information is lower than a certain threshold, and the dynamic means that the indication information is sent at a frequency greater than a certain threshold.
[0141] The at least one training resource indicated by the resource indication information is described below.
[0142] In a possible implementation, the training resources meet the following conditions: the training resources are only used to send training signals, or the strength of the uplink signal (including uplink data signal or uplink reference signal) transmitted on the training resources is less than the strength threshold. The strength threshold is related to the accuracy requirements of the leakage propagation characteristics of the control device and / or the radio frequency device. If the strength of the uplink signal transmitted on the training resource is less than the strength threshold, the leakage propagation characteristics determined by the radio frequency device based on the training resources meet the accuracy requirements of the leakage propagation characteristics of the control device and / or the radio frequency device. It should be noted that if the radio frequency device eliminates or reduces the leakage interference of the transmission link of the radio frequency device to the receiving link of the radio frequency device based on the leakage propagation characteristics, so that the communication quality of the uplink transmission meets the communication quality requirements of the control device and / or the radio frequency device for the uplink transmission, then it is considered that the leakage propagation characteristics meet the accuracy requirements of the control device and / or the radio frequency device for the leakage propagation characteristics, or in other words, the leakage propagation characteristics have achieved the target performance.
[0143] The distribution of the training resources in the at least one training resource in the time domain is described below.
[0144] In a possible implementation, at least one training resource includes N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources, the time domain position of the N1 first training resources is before the time domain position of the N2 second training resources, and the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is less than the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources. Wherein, N1 and N2 are both positive integers.
[0145] Exemplarily, the N1 first training resources may also be referred to as training resources at the first time interval, that is, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is the first time interval. Two adjacent first training resources refer to two first time domain resources that are adjacent in the time domain.
[0146] The first time interval may be a time interval predefined by a standard or protocol, or a time interval determined by a control device, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Optionally, the first time interval is less than the duration corresponding to the time domain length of the first training resource. Optionally, if the first time interval is 0, then the N1 first training resources are continuous training resources.
[0147] Optionally, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources may be equal or unequal. For example, the N1 first training resources include training resources #1 to training resources #3, training resource #1 is adjacent to training resource #2, training resource #2 is adjacent to training resource #3, and the time interval between training resource #1 and training resource #2 and the time interval between training resource #2 and training resource #3 may be equal or unequal.
[0148] It can be understood that if the training resources are more concentrated in the time domain, the RF device converges to the target performance faster in estimating the leakage propagation characteristics, and if the training resources are more dispersed in the time domain, the RF device converges to the target performance slower in estimating the leakage propagation characteristics. When the control device indicates N1 first training resources to the RF device, since the time interval between adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources is small, or the N1 first training resources are continuous, the N1 first training resources are relatively concentrated in the time domain, so that the RF device can quickly converge to the target performance by estimating the leakage propagation characteristics based on the N1 training signals transmitted on the N1 first training resources.
[0149] Optionally, the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase.
[0150] It is understandable that during the cell restart phase, specific service indicators are generally not counted, so during the cell restart phase, uplink services may not be scheduled. Furthermore, when the time domain resources of the N1 first training resources correspond to the cell restart phase, the N1 first training resources are not used to transmit uplink signals, which is conducive to the radio frequency equipment to determine more accurate leakage propagation characteristics and reduce the impact on data transmission.
[0151] Exemplarily, the N2 second training resources may also be referred to as training resources of the second time interval, that is, the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources is the second time interval. The second time interval is greater than the first time interval. Two adjacent second training resources refer to two second time domain resources that are adjacent in the time domain.
[0152] The second time interval may be a time interval predefined by a standard or protocol, or a time interval determined by a control device, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the second time interval is greater than or equal to 100 milliseconds.
[0153] Optionally, the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources may be equal or unequal. For example, the N2 second training resources include training resources #a to training resources #c, training resource #a is adjacent to training resource #b, training resource #b is adjacent to training resource #c, and the time interval between training resource #a and training resource #b and the time interval between training resource #b and training resource #c may be equal or unequal.
[0154] It can be understood that based on the time-varying characteristics of the RF device, the leakage propagation characteristics will also change over time. Therefore, when the control device indicates N2 second training resources to the RF device, the RF device can update the leakage propagation characteristics according to the N2 training signals transmitted on the N2 second training resources, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics.
[0155] It can also be understood that since the leakage propagation characteristics will change over time, in order to ensure the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics, the RF device should continuously update the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signal sent on the training resource. In this case, the N2 second training resources preferably correspond to the entire actual business transmission process between the control device and the RF device, that is, the time domain positions of the N2 second training resources are sparsely distributed in the entire actual business transmission process between the control device and the RF device. In the case where the time domain positions of the N2 second training resources are sparsely distributed in the entire actual business transmission process between the control device and the RF device, the RF device can not only update the leakage propagation characteristics according to the N2 second training resources, but also reduce the impact on the actual business scheduling between the control device and the RF device.
[0156] Figure 4 (b) in FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources. Figure 4 As shown in (b), N1 first training resources are continuous in the time domain, and N2 second training resources are evenly spaced in the time domain.
[0157] Exemplarily, the control device indicates N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources through resource indication information in the following manner.
[0158] Mode 1, the resource indication information includes one or more of the following: the starting time domain position of at least one training resource, N1, N2, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in N1 first training resources, and the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in N2 second training resources.
[0159] The time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources may be the duration of the interval between the two adjacent first training resources, or the number of time domain units between the two adjacent first training resources. The time domain unit may be a subframe, a time slot, or a symbol.
[0160] It should be understood that if the N1 first training resources are continuous resources, the time interval included in the resource indication information may be 0 or any other indication information equivalent to the meaning expressed by 0, and may not include the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in the N1 first training resources. In another possible situation, the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N1 second training resources may be predefined by a protocol or standard, or preconfigured, then the time interval is optional, or includes indication information indicating that the time interval is a preset value, which is not limited by the present application. The above description is applicable to the description of similar situations in other embodiments and will not be repeated here.
[0161] The time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources may be the duration of the interval between two adjacent second training resources, or the number of time domain units between two adjacent second training resources. It should be understood that if the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources is predefined by a protocol or standard, or is preconfigured, the resource indication information may not include the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in the N2 second training resources.
[0162] It should be understood that if N1 and N2 are predefined by a protocol or standard, or are preconfigured, the resource indication information may not include N1 and N2.
[0163] It should be understood that in method 1, the resource indication information may also include one or more of the following: the starting time domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource, the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the starting frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource, and the frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource.
[0164] If the resource indication information includes the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the radio frequency device can determine the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, and then the radio frequency device determines the time domain position of N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources in combination with one or more of the following included in the resource indication information: the starting time domain position of at least one training resource, the time interval between two adjacent first training resources in N1, N2, and N1 first training resources, and the time interval between two adjacent second training resources in N2 second training resources. It can be understood that if the resource indication information does not include the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the radio frequency device can determine that the time domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource is a value predefined by the protocol or standard.
[0165] If the resource indication information includes the starting frequency domain position and / or frequency domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the radio frequency device can determine the frequency domain position of each training resource in at least one training resource. It can be understood that if the resource indication information does not include the frequency domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource, the radio frequency device can determine that the frequency domain length of each training resource in at least one training resource is a value predefined by a protocol or standard, or is the full frequency band of a transmission link of the radio frequency device.
[0166] Mode 2: The control device indicates N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources by means of a bitmap, that is, the resource indication information includes N bits, and the description of the N bits can be referred to above and will not be described in detail this time. It should be understood that when N1 first training resources and N2 second training resources are indicated by N bits, N≥N1+N2.
[0167] by Figure 4 Taking (b) in the figure as an example, assuming that the time domain unit is a subframe, the first training resource and the second training resource each include a subframe, the time interval between two adjacent second training resources is 2 subframes, and the value of the nth bit is set to "1", indicating that the time domain unit corresponding to the nth bit belongs to at least one training resource, then the N bits are "111111001001001001001001".
[0168] It should be noted that N bits can be carried in one resource indication information or in multiple resource indication information, which is not limited in the present embodiment. Figure 4 Taking (b) in the figure as an example, the control device can send three resource indication information, where the first resource indication information includes 6 bits for indicating 6 first training resources, and the 6 bits are "111111"; the second resource indication information includes 2 bits, and the 2 bits are "00", which is used to indicate that the two subframes between the 6th first training resource and the 1st second training resource do not belong to at least one training resource; the third resource indication information includes 13 bits for indicating 5 second training resources, and the 13 bits are "1001001001001".
[0169] The above describes the distribution of the training resources in the time domain of at least one training resource, and the following describes the distribution of the training resources in the frequency domain of at least one training resource. It should be understood that the distribution of the training resources in the frequency domain of at least one training resource does not depend on the distribution of the training resources in the time domain. In other words, whether the at least one training resource is continuous or equidistant in the time domain does not affect the distribution of the training resources in the frequency domain of at least one training resource.
[0170] In a possible implementation manner, the at least one training resource includes a third training resource.
[0171] A possible scenario, such as Figure 5 As shown in Example 1, the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device, that is, the frequency domain resource of the third training resource is a continuous frequency domain resource, and the continuous frequency domain resource is the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency link. Accordingly, the training signal transmitted on the third training resource can be called a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band.
[0172] It should be understood that when a downlink signal scheduled across the entire frequency band is transmitted on the third training resource, the RF device can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the “complete downlink bandwidth” based on the downlink signal scheduled across the entire frequency band, which is beneficial for the RF device to determine the leakage signal of the downlink signal transmitted on any frequency band in the full frequency band of the RF device's transmitting link that is leaked to the RF device's receiving link based on the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the “complete downlink bandwidth”.
[0173] Another possible situation is Figure 5 As shown in Example 2, the frequency domain resources of the third training resource are sparsely distributed over the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device. Accordingly, the training signal transmitted on the third training resource can be called a downlink signal of sparse full frequency band scheduling.
[0174] The frequency domain resources of the third training resource are sparsely distributed over the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device, which means that the frequency domain units included in the third training resource are sparsely distributed over the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device. For example, the frequency domain units included in the third training resource are equally spaced over the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device, or are unequally spaced. The frequency domain unit may be a subband, a subchannel, a PRB, etc.
[0175] It should be understood that when a downlink signal with sparse full-band scheduling is transmitted on the third training resource, the RF device can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" based on the downlink signal with sparse full-band scheduling, which is conducive to the RF device to determine the leakage signal of the downlink signal transmitted on any frequency band in the full frequency band of the RF device's transmission link leaking to the receiving link of the RF device according to the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth". In addition, compared with the downlink signal with full-band scheduling, the control device consumes less energy and resources to send the downlink signal with sparse full-band scheduling. Therefore, the purpose of energy saving can be achieved while determining the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth".
[0176] Another possible situation is Figure 5 As shown in Example 3 in , the frequency domain resources of the third training resource include part of the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device. In this case, at least one training resource also includes a fourth training resource, the time domain resources of the third training resource are different from the time domain resources of the fourth training resource, and the frequency domain resources of the fourth training resource include the remaining frequency bands of the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device that are not occupied by the third training resource. It should be understood that the fourth training resource may include one or more training resources.
[0177] It should be understood that in the case where at least one training resource includes a third training resource and a fourth training resource, the training signal #1 transmitted on the third training resource and the training signal #2 transmitted on the fourth training resource can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled for the full frequency band, so that the radio frequency device can determine the leakage transmission characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" based on the training signal #1 and the training signal #2, which is conducive to the radio frequency device to determine the leakage signal of the downlink signal transmitted on any frequency band in the full frequency band of the transmission link of the radio frequency device leaking to the receiving link of the radio frequency device according to the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth". In addition, since the training signals transmitted on the third training resource and the fourth training resource can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled for the full frequency band, the radio frequency device does not need to supplement the "extra signal" on the time domain resources of the third training resource and / or the fourth training resource in order to construct a downlink signal scheduled for the full frequency band, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing resource and energy consumption.
[0178] Exemplarily, the control device may determine at least one training resource according to actual uplink and downlink service scheduling requirements. It should be understood that when the control device determines at least one training resource according to actual uplink and downlink service scheduling, the purpose may be to minimize the impact on the actual uplink and downlink service scheduling requirements.
[0179] For example, the control device determines not to schedule uplink services on certain resources based on actual uplink service scheduling requirements. The control device may determine the resources that do not schedule uplink services as one or more training resources among at least one training resource, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics determined by the radio frequency device based on the training resources and avoiding affecting the actual scheduling requirements of the uplink services.
[0180] For another example, the control device determines to schedule full-band downlink service signals on certain resources according to the actual downlink service scheduling requirements, and the control device can determine the resources for transmitting the full-band scheduled downlink service signals as one or more of the at least one training resources. It should be understood that if the actual downlink service scheduling includes full-band scheduled downlink service signals, the control device uses the resources for transmitting the full-band scheduled downlink service signals as training resources, which not only allows the radio frequency device to determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "full downlink bandwidth" according to the full-band scheduled downlink service signals, but also matches the actual downlink service scheduling requirements.
[0181] For another example, the control device determines to schedule a sparse full-band downlink service signal on certain resources according to the actual downlink service scheduling requirements, and the control device can determine the resource for transmitting the sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal as one or more of the at least one training resources. It should be understood that if the actual downlink service scheduling includes a sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal, the control device uses the resource for transmitting the sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal as a training resource, which not only enables the radio frequency device to determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" according to the sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal, but also matches the actual downlink service scheduling requirements. In addition, since the radio frequency device can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" according to the sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal, the control device does not need to send an "extra signal" on the time domain resource used to transmit the sparse full-band scheduled downlink service signal in order to construct the full-band scheduled downlink service signal, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing resource and energy consumption.
[0182] For another example, the control device determines that the downlink service signal 1 scheduled on the time domain resource #1 and the downlink service signal 2 scheduled on the time domain resource #2 can be combined into a full-band downlink service signal according to the actual downlink service scheduling requirements, then the control device can determine the resources used to transmit the downlink service signal #1 and the downlink service signal #2 as training resources. It should be understood that if the downlink service signal #1 and the downlink service signal #2 can be combined into a full-band downlink service signal, then the control device uses the resources used to transmit the downlink service signal #1 and the downlink service signal #2 as training resources, which can not only enable the radio frequency device to determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" according to the downlink service signal #1 and the downlink service signal #2, but also match the actual downlink service scheduling requirements. In addition, since the radio frequency device can determine the leakage propagation characteristics corresponding to the "complete downlink bandwidth" according to the downlink service signal 1 and the downlink service signal 2, the control device does not need to supplement the "extra signal" on the time domain resources used to transmit the downlink service signal 1 and / or the downlink service signal 2 in order to construct the downlink service signal scheduled in the full frequency band, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing resource and energy consumption.
[0183] S320: The control device sends a training signal to the radio frequency device.
[0184] Correspondingly, the radio frequency device receives the training signal from the control device.
[0185] The training signal may be a downlink service signal or a downlink reference signal, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
[0186] It should be understood that the control device sends at least one training signal to the radio frequency device through at least one training resource.
[0187] S330: The radio frequency device determines a leakage propagation characteristic according to the training signal.
[0188] For example, the following is combined with Figure 6 This section describes how the RF device determines the leakage propagation characteristics based on the leakage signal. Figure 6In the example, the first module is a PALC module 629, the L2 control module 611 included in the control device 610 is connected to the PALC module 629, the transmission link of the radio frequency device 620 includes a digital pre-distortion (digital pre-distortion, DPD) module 621, a digital to analog converter (digital to analog converter, D / A) 622, a power amplifier (power amplifier, PA) 623 and a transmit duplexer (transmit duplexer, TX_DUP) 624 as an example, and the receiving link of the radio frequency device 620 includes a receive duplexer (receive duplexer, RX_DUP) 625, a low noise amplifier (low noise amplifier, LNA) 632, a surface acoustic wave (surface acoustic wave, SAW) filter 633 and a digital to digital converter (analog to digital converter, A / D) 630 as an example. It should be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the structure of the control device and the structure of the radio frequency device. For example, Figure 6 The L2 control module 611 in can also be replaced by an L3 control module.
[0189] The training signal sent by the control device 610 through the first training resource of at least one training resource is recorded as S1. The training signal S1 passes through the DPD module 621, the D / A 622, the PA 623, the SAW filter 626, the LNA 627 and the A / D 628 to reach the PALC module 629, and the PALC module 629 can obtain the training signal S1.
[0190] The uplink signal Y1 received by the radio device 620 on the first training resource through the receiving link (including RX_DUP 625, LNA 632, SAW filter 633 and A / D 630) can reach the PALC module 629. The uplink signal Y1 includes the leakage signal of the training signal S1 received by the radio device 620 through the receiving link from the transmitting link (including DPD module 621, D / A 622, PA 623 and TX_DUP 624). The uplink signal Y1 can be expressed as: Y = H1·S1+S UL +N. Where H1 represents the leakage propagation characteristics of training signal #1, H1·S1 represents the leakage signal of training signal S1 leaking to the receiving link, S UL represents the uplink service signal, and N represents noise.
[0191] It can be understood that if the training resource is not used to transmit an uplink signal, or if the strength of the uplink signal transmitted on the training resource is less than the strength threshold, it can be considered that SUL Approximately equal to 0 or S UL The estimated performance of H1 has no impact. The training signal #1 is a downlink signal scheduled in the full frequency band, and N is also approximately equal to 0. Furthermore, the PALC module 629 can determine H1 according to Y1=H1·S1.
[0192] Referring to the above steps, the RF device 620 may determine one or more leakage propagation characteristics based on at least one training signal transmitted on at least one training resource. Then, the RF device 620 averages the one or more leakage propagation characteristics to obtain the final determined leakage propagation characteristics.
[0193] Optionally, after the radio frequency device determines the leakage propagation characteristic according to the training signal transmitted on at least one training resource, the leakage interference of the transmission link to the reception link may be eliminated or reduced according to the leakage propagation characteristic.
[0194] For example, the following is combined with Figure 6 Describes how a radio frequency device eliminates or reduces leakage interference of a transmitting link corresponding to a receiving link based on leakage propagation characteristics.
[0195] The downlink signal sent by the control device 610 is denoted as S DL , downlink signal S DL After passing through the DPD module 621, D / A 622, PA 623, SAW filter 626, LNA 627 and A / D 628, the PALC module 629 can obtain the downlink signal S DL .
[0196] The uplink signal Y received by the radio device 620 can reach the PALC module 629. The uplink signal Y includes the uplink service signal S UL , and a downlink signal S from a transmitting link (including a DPD module 621, a D / A 622, a PA 623, and a TX_DUP 624) received by the radio frequency device 620 through the receiving link DL The uplink signal Y can be expressed as: Y = H DL ·S DL +S UL +N. Among them, H DL Indicates the downlink signal S DL The leakage propagation characteristics.
[0197] Furthermore, the PALC module 629 can eliminate or reduce the leakage interference of the transmission link to the receiving link according to the following formula: Y'=H DL ·S DL +S UL +NH·S DL. Wherein, H represents the leakage propagation characteristic determined by the radio frequency device according to at least one training signal.
[0198] It can be understood that the leakage propagation characteristics H and H determined by the radio frequency device according to at least one training signal DL Therefore, according to the above formula, the leakage interference of the sending link to the receiving link can be eliminated or reduced.
[0199] In an embodiment of the present application, a control device sends resource indication information to a radio frequency device, so that the radio frequency device can distinguish between training resources used to transmit training signals and non-training resources not used to transmit training signals according to the resource indication information, so that the radio frequency device can not only determine the leakage propagation characteristics according to the training signals transmitted on the training resources, but also reduce the training complexity of the radio frequency device.
[0200] In addition, the control device can determine at least one training resource according to the actual uplink and downlink service scheduling requirements, and can reduce the impact on the actual downlink service scheduling while ensuring the accuracy of the leakage propagation characteristics determined by the radio frequency device according to the training signal transmitted on at least one training resource, and / or reduce the virtual loading of the downlink transmission signal, so as to achieve energy saving. For example, if the control device determines that the downlink service signals transmitted on time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, the control device can determine time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 as training resources, and then, since the downlink service signals transmitted on time domain resources #1 and time domain resources #2 can be combined into a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, the control device does not need to load additional virtual downlink signals on a frequency band other than the frequency band used to transmit the downlink service signal on time domain resources #1 or time domain resources #2 in order to construct a downlink signal scheduled by the full frequency band, thereby achieving energy saving.
