Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION TITLE: SU-MIMO communication method distinguishing between data and reference symbols for power allocation and corresponding devices Field of the invention The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications. Within this field, the invention relates more particularly to digital communications implemented by a communication system with a transmitter with ^^^^ transmitting antennas and a receiver with ^^^^ receiving antennas called MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) which makes it possible to allocate a power level per spatial layer, i.e., per transmitting antenna port while maximizing a transmission rate. For downlink communication, the transmitter may be a base station, for example of the eNodeB (evolved Node B) or gNodeB type for networks based on LTE, LTE Advanced and subsequent technologies (5G, etc.), or a Wi-Fi access point, etc.A receiver can be a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet, connected object, etc. For uplink communication, the transmitter can be a terminal and the receiver can be a base station. The invention finds applications in any beamforming-based system, in particular in radio communication networks according to the 4G, 5G and following standards defined by the 3GPP, WiFi communication networks according to the various IEEE 802.11 standards, etc. Prior art Figure 1 illustrates a MIMO communication system with a transmitter with ^^^^ transmitting antennas ANT_E and a receiver with ^^^^. ^^^^ ANT_R receiving antennas with ^^^^ ^^^^< ^^^^. The system includes at least one access point, called a base station SB in cellular systems, and a UE terminal, that of the user. In the LTE standard (3 / 4G) specified in 3GPP, the number of receiving antennas of a so-called "smart phone" terminal is at least two, while for the NR standard (5G of 3GPP), the number of receiving antennas for this type of terminal is specified at at least four antennas for certain bands (3.5GHz n77 / 78). For base stations, the number of transmitting antennas has continued to increase to reach up to 64, or even 128 antennas in massive MIMO. Note that an antenna port in the context of 3GPP mobile standards and in the context of the request is associated with a "logical" antenna which can group together one or more RF (Radio Frequency) chains, each RF chain including a digital to analog conversion and / or including an analog to digital conversion.The mapping of a logical antenna to ^^^^ ≥ 1 RF chains is done via a complex vector of dimension N: the signal sent to a logical antenna is multiplied by this complex vector to generate the N inputs of the N RF chains. Each antenna includes one or more radiating elements. If the number of transmit RF chains and receive RF chains is the same at the base station, this is not the case for mobiles which can have a number of transmit RF chains lower than the number of receive RF chains, typically two transmit RF chains for four receive RF chains. Regarding a base station, a transmit / receive RF chain is called "TXRU, Transceiver Units" in the 5G standard. Figure 2 which corresponds to figure 6.3-1 of the TS36.211 specification schematically illustrates part of the baseband processing of the data to be transmitted, in the downlink.According to this standard, it is expected that data can be encoded according to two streams with different rates. The encoded data put in the form of Cw code words are scrambled with an SCR scrambler, then mapped onto a constellation with a C_MAP mapper. The outputs of the mapper are divided into spatial layers by an L_MAP layer mapper. The different Lay spatial layers are then pre-coded by a PRE_COD pre-coder. The pre-coded data of the different spatial layers are mapped by resource element by a RE_MAP resource mapper. At the output of the resource mapper, the data of each spatial layer is injected into an OFDM multicarrier modulator to generate an OFDM symbol. These OFDM symbols feed the antenna ports. Each spatial layer to which an antenna port corresponds feeds a single user (or recipient) at a given time.A user (or recipient) can benefit from several spatial layers simultaneously. In the uplink, the processing specified by the TS36.211 normative document and corresponding to figure 5.3-1 of this document is very similar to that of figure 2. Typically for telecommunication systems with a transmission channel CH between an EM transmission part and an RX reception part, the transmission resources are represented according to one or more time-frequency grids, a representation of which is given by figure 3 which corresponds to figure 6.2.2-1 of the TS36.211 specification of the 3GPP LTE (4G) standard. If we consider the context of the 3GPP 4G or 5G standard, a radio time-frequency resource is a resource element (RE).A resource element, in this context, refers to the smallest time-frequency granularity that is identified by the indices ^^^^ and l (i.e., a subcarrier and a symbol time corresponding to the duration of a multi-carrier symbol, typically OFDM in the case of an OFDM multi-carrier transmission) on the time-frequency grid of Figure 3. On this grid, frequencies follow the vertical axis and time the horizontal axis. For the 5G standard, there is one time-frequency grid per antenna port and for each of the uplink and downlink directions. According to the terms of this standard, a frame is divided into subframes. Since the spacing between subcarriers of an OFDM symbol is configurable, each subframe includes a number of OFDM symbols that varies according to the spacing between subcarriers since the duration of a symbol is the inverse of the spacing between subcarriers.OFDM symbols are grouped into slots, each slot corresponding to the granularity of a scheduling decision known by elementary time interval (TTI). With reference to the radio communication networks specified within 3GPP, mechanisms are specified for a terminal to be connected to a base station. The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) or Physical Uplink Shared Channel is the main channel used for the transmission of data in unicast form and for the transmission of system information, later called data channel. The receiver determines the time-frequency resource elements it must decode by exploiting control information defined semi-statically at the level of higher layers (RRC) and control information transmitted dynamically.A dedicated physical control channel per terminal, called PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel), is used for the dynamic transmission of control information for the downlink and for the uplink, and for the scheduling of the PDSCH and PUSCH physical transmission channels. The PDCCH channel is organized according to several possible formats, called DCI (Downlink Control Information) formats. A DCI format consists of several fields, each field carrying specific information (e.g. transport blocks or PRB (Physical Resource Block) allocated (one or two transport blocks can be allocated), modulation and coding schemes or MCS (for "Modulation and Coding Scheme") allocated for each transport block, identification of the allocated antenna ports corresponding to the configuration by the RRC layer (semi-static) of the reference symbols, DMRS, number of spatial layers (rank), etc.).The information bits of a PDCCH channel (i.e. the bits of the DCI format) are then associated with a CRC code ("Cyclic Redundancy Check") to allow error detection. The particularity of this CRC code is that it is scrambled with the RNTI identifier of the terminal to which the PDCCH channel is dedicated. This allows the terminal to validate that the PDCCH channel it is decoding is indeed intended for it. Indeed, if another terminal (which has a different RNTI identifier) ​​tries to verify the validity of the PDCCH channel using this other RNTI identifier, the verification of the CRC code returns an error. As is known, the capacity of cellular mobile telecommunications networks, and in particular that of the networks specified in 3GPP (LTE / 3G-4G, 5G, etc.) is limited by interference. This interference can be of different natures.Among the most damaging in terms of cellular network capacity, we can distinguish in particular: - SU-MIMO interference (for Single User - Multiple Input Multiple Output) linked to the use of multiple antennas in transmission and reception, and which corresponds to the interference generated between MIMO data streams allocated to the same destination device (receiver); - MU-MIMO interference (for Multiple User - Multiple Input Multiple Output) linked to the use of multiple antennas in transmission and reception which corresponds to the interference generated between MIMO data streams allocated to different destination devices (receivers); and - intercellular interference, generated between signals transmitted by different cells and intended for different destination devices (receivers). Various methods for reducing the effect of this interference on network performance are known from the state of the art.Thus, SU-MIMO interference can be addressed in particular using beamforming. Beamforming is a signal processing technique used in MIMO communication systems comprising antenna or sensor arrays for the directional transmission or reception of signals. This method consists of applying complex coefficients to the data streams transmitted or received by the antennas so as to assign them particular spatial properties (for example, a preferred direction). Thus, the complex coefficient applied to each antenna or antenna port is called the precoding coefficient and all of these coefficients form the precoding matrix implemented by the PRE_COD precoder. This precoding can be used to spatially separate streams intended for the same device in order to allow this receiving device to detect a stream with reduced interference from other streams.Beamforming is thus achieved by combining the elements of a phased array and amplitude controlled antenna array in such a way that: • signals interfere constructively in particular directions, • interference is destructive in other directions. Beamforming can be used on the transmitter side but also on the receiver side to achieve spatial selectivity. By applying appropriate precoding, the transmitter can transmit data on the same time-frequency radio resources allocated to several spatial layers assigned to a single receiver, a so-called SU-MIMO mode. The selection of the transmitter side of the appropriate precoding that maximizes spectral efficiency, evaluated for example by the sum of the MIMO stream rates, is subject to a transmission power constraint.The majority of prior art precoding algorithms are based on optimizing the performance of a MIMO transmission under a single total transmission power constraint. For example, water-filling power allocation, which allocates power based on channel conditions, maximizes SU-MIMO capacity under a single total transmission power constraint per resource element. Let ^^^^ be the data vector to be transmitted to the receiver, ^^^^ =. [ ^^^^ ^^^^ , ^^^^ ^^^^ , ... , ^^^^ ^^^^ ] ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ , each component of which has a power normalized to one, ^^^^ the number of spatial layers transmitted to the receiver on given radio resources, ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^, ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^ ) with ^^^^ the number of transmitting antennas and ^^^^ ^^^^ the number of receiving antennas, ^^^^ the pre-coding matrix, ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^and ^^^^ the diagonal matrix of powers transmitted per antenna port, ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^ ^^^^ , ^^^^ ^^^^ ,⋯ , ^^^^ ^^^^ ) ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ . The pre-coding matrix ^^^^ performs a virtualization of the ^^^^ transmitting antennas into ^^^^ antenna ports. The antenna concept can itself be based on a virtualization of radiating elements. For example, two radiating elements can have the same signal as input and therefore share the same virtualized antenna port. The pre-coding ^^^^ is described by a matrix of size ^^^^ × ^^^^, that is to say of ^^^^ rows, number of transmitting antennas, and ^^^^ columns, number of antenna ports, which can be written: ^^^^1 ⋯ ^^^^1 ^^^^ ^^^^ The for a given resource can then be expressed in the following form:tr� ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^†� ≤ P max (1)where tr ( … ) is the trace, ^^^^ †is the transconjugate matrix, called "daguer", that is to say the transposed matrix of the conjugate matrix of the matrix ^^^^, P maxis the maximum energy per resource element (EPRE). In the TS38.214 standard published by 3GPP (5G), under clause 4.1 "Power allocation for downlink", respectively under clause 6.2.2 "UE DM-RS transmission procedure" for the uplink, the ratio ^^^^ between the energy per resource element (EPRE) of the DMRS references and the energy per resource element (EPRE) of the PDSCH channel, respectively of the PUSCH channel, of data is tabulated according to the configuration of the DMRS. The disadvantage of this approach is that a spatial layer with a very low power allocation will have a very noisy channel estimate because the associated DMRS will have a very low power. By abuse of language in the application, the power per resource element designates the energy per resource element. The above-mentioned approach is not well suited to real MIMO systems since these are characterized by a limitation of transmission power per power amplifier, i.e., per antenna. Precoding algorithms must therefore satisfy these per-antenna power constraints while maximizing the performance of MIMO communications. The constraint of ^^^^ therefore satisfies the following expression:. [ ^^^^, ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ∀ ∈ … ,Which can also be written in the form: ∑ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ = ^ 1� ^^^^ 2 ^ ^^^, ^^^^ � ^^^^ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^∀ ^^^^ ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} (3) where ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^is the maximum power per antenna per resource element and ^^^^ ^^^^ the power per resource element for the ^^^^ layer. ^^^^ The pre-coded channel for the receiver corresponds to: ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ = [� ^^^^1^^^^1,� ^^^^2^^^^2, … ,� ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ] with ^^^^ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ the channel corresponding to the receiver. of the receiver, the pre-coded channel, ie, which includes the pre-coding ^^^^, is estimated from the demodulation reference signals (Demodulation Reference Signal or DMRS for LTE or NR systems (5G of 3GPP)) orthogonal to each other (in frequency and / or in time and / or in code) which are transmitted on the same antenna ports as the data (data) intended for this receiver and which have therefore undergone the same pre-coding ^^^^. This estimation of the pre-coded channel is used in reception during the demodulation of the received signals and the decoding of the data. The reference symbols (DMRS) carried by a spatial layer to which an antenna port corresponds are orthogonal to the reference symbols (DMRS) carried by another spatial layer, ie, another antenna port, and are not interfered by useful symbols. A reference symbol (DMRS) is specific to a receiver.The quality of the pre-coded channel estimation made in reception depends on the reception power of the reference signals (DMRS). However, these reference signals (DMRS), as for the data, are transmitted with a single maximum total power constraint ^^^. ^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^per resource element knowing that the different antenna ports share the same time-frequency resource elements. The disadvantage of this approach is that when the data and demodulation reference symbols (DMRS) transmitted by an antenna port benefit from a very low allocated power then the channel estimation is very noisy. Main characteristics of the invention The subject of the invention is a method of communication between a transmitter and a receiver of a SU-MIMO system, the system comprising ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmit antennas, at least ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmit antenna ports and ^^^^ ≥ 2 receive antennas, ^^^^ ), using transmission time-frequency radio resource elements allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports assigned to the receiver and dedicated to communication between the transmitter and the receiver. The method implemented by the transmitter is such that: - control information for the communication between the transmitter and the receiver, transmitted by the transmitter, comprises a power ratio per time-frequency radio resource element between reference symbols and data transmitted to this receiver for a given transmission antenna port. The invention further relates to a communication method intended to be implemented by a receiver of a SU-MIMO system which further comprises a transmitter, the system comprising ^^^^ ≥ 2 antennas ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmit antenna ports and ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ≥ 2 receiving antennas, 2 ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ( ^^^^, ^^^^ ), using transmission time-frequency radio resource elements allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports assigned to the receiver and dedicated to communication between the transmitter and the receiver. The method is such that: - control information for the communication between the transmitter and the receiver, received by the receiver, comprises a power ratio per time-frequency radio resource element between reference symbols and data transmitted to this receiver for a given antenna port. The invention further relates to a communication method intended for a SU-MIMO system, the system comprising a transmitter with ^^^^ ≥ ^^^^ transmitting antennas, at least ^^^^ transmitting antenna ports and a receiver with ^^^^ = ^^^^^^^^ ≥ ^^^^ receiving antennas, ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ( ^^^^, ^^^^ ) , tel quethe power allocation distinguishes between power allocated to data and power allocated to reference symbols intended for the receiver and takes into account a maximum power per transmitting antenna. The invention further relates to an access point comprising ^^^^ transmitting antennas, at least ^^^^ transmitting antenna ports, a transmitter. The transmitter is such that it is capable of transmitting: - data to a user equipment having ^^^^ ^^^^ receiving antennas, - reference symbols for an estimation of a channel between the access point and the user equipment, - control information indicating radio resource elements time frequency transmission allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports assigned to the user equipment, 2 ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ( ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^ ) et- via a control channel dedicated to the user equipment, a power ratio per radio time frequency resource element between the reference symbols and the data transmitted to this user equipment for a given antenna port. The invention further relates to an access point comprising ^^^^ ≥ 2 reception antennas, a receiver, such that the receiver is able to receive: - reference symbols transmitted by a terminal having at least ^^^^ transmission antenna ports, - control information comprising a power ratio per radio time frequency resource element, between the reference symbols and data transmitted to this access point for a given antenna port, transmitted by the terminal. The invention further relates to a terminal comprising ^^^^ transmission antennas, at least ^^^^ transmission antenna ports and a transmitter, such that the transmitter is able to transmit: - data to an access point having ^^^^ ^^^^receiving antennas using radio resource elements time transmission frequency allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports assigned to the access point, 2 ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ( ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^ ) , - reference symbols for an estimation of a channel between the terminal and the access point, - a power ratio per radio time frequency resource element between the reference symbols and the data transmitted to this access point for a given antenna port. The invention further relates to a terminal comprising ^^^^ ^^^^ ≥ 2 receiving antennas, a receiver, such that the receiver is capable of receiving: - reference symbols transmitted by an access point having at least ^^^^ transmitting antenna ports, - control information indicating radio resource elements time frequency transmission allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports, transmitted by the access point, 2 ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^), - control information comprising a power ratio per radio time-frequency resource element, between the reference symbols and data transmitted to this terminal for a given antenna port, transmitted by the access point. The invention further relates to a digital signal transmitted between a transmitter having ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmission antennas, at least ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmission antenna ports and a receiver having ^^^^ ≥ 2 reception antennas, 2 ≤ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^, ^^^^) using transmission time-frequency radio resource elements allocated to the ^^^^ antenna ports allocated to the receiver and dedicated to communication between the transmitter and the receiver, such that it comprises a power ratio per radio time-frequency resource element, between reference symbols and data transmitted to this receiver for a given transmission antenna port.The invention further relates to a computer program on an information medium, said program comprising program instructions adapted to the implementation of a method according to the invention when said program is loaded and executed in a terminal or an access point. The invention further relates to an information medium comprising program instructions adapted to the implementation of a method according to the invention, when said program is loaded and executed in a terminal or an access point. In the case of a SU-MIMO system, there is an overlap between the streams intended for the receiver and which are transmitted by the radio time-frequency resource elements dedicated to this receiver, even if the allocated antenna ports are different between the streams. The receiver benefits from at least two antenna ports for communication, ν ≥ 2.The ν assigned antenna ports correspond to inputs of a pre-coder whose M outputs feed the M transmit antennas of the SU-MIMO system. And the pre-coding applied to the reference symbols received by the receiver is the same as that applied to the data intended for this same receiver. According to the method, whether or not the data benefit from a power different from that of the reference symbols for the same antenna port, the receiver uses the power ratio received for an antenna port to correct the estimation of the pre-coded channel made from the reference symbols by weighting this estimation with the received ratio. The receiver can thus estimate, under good conditions, the pre-coded transmission channel, i.e., which includes the pre-coding, by exploiting the received reference symbols, without it being necessary to transmit the pre-coder or information on the choice of this pre-coder.Indeed, the transmission of the power ratio per resource element between reference symbols and data for the same antenna port makes it possible to perform, in reception, a channel estimation independent of the power allocated to the data transmission channel. The pre-coding used in transmission can vary dynamically, i.e. at the rate of sending communication control information, the sending of the power ratio(s) follows the same dynamics, i.e., it(they) occurs at each transmission time interval (TTI). The SU-MIMO system comprises for example a base station and a terminal. The transmission radio resources allocated to the receiver and associated with the ν transmission antenna ports, 2 ≤ ν ≤ min(M, NR) are identified by information communicated by the base station of the MIMO system to the terminal in communication control information according to semi-static mechanisms (RRC, etc.) or dynamic via a control channel.This communication control channel is for example the PDCCH channel according to the 5G standard of the 3GPP. In particular, the invention relates to the optimization of power allocated per antenna port with a power constraint per antenna knowing the pre-coding ^^^^ by maximizing the dual function of the Lagrangian with an iterative “gradient descend” type algorithm. This approach significantly simplifies the calculations to be carried out by iteration compared to the state of the art. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control information indicates a configuration of the reference symbols associated with the antenna ports. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control information comprises as many power reports as there are antenna ports allocated to the receiver.According to one embodiment of the invention, the configuration is such that the antenna ports are grouped to form ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^groups such that the reference symbols are spatially code multiplexed between the antenna ports of the same group and according to which the control information comprises a unique power ratio for each set of antenna ports belonging to the same group and allocated to the receiver. According to one embodiment of the invention, the method further comprising a use of the same pre-coding matrix to pre-code the data and the reference symbols to be transmitted to the receiver and the composition of which depends on an estimation of the channels between the transmitter and the receiver, the set of channels forming a global channel called SU-MIMO.According to one embodiment of the invention, the pre-coding matrix is ​​based on a matrix of so-called input eigenvectors resulting from a singular value decomposition of the SU-MIMO channel. According to one embodiment of the invention, the singular value decomposition of the matrix ^^^^ of the channel between the base station and the receiver is such that ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^. † ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ with ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ ^^^^ the matrix containing the set of so-called eigenvectors ^^^^ ∈ ℂ M× ^^^^ ^^^^ the matrix containing the set of so-called input eigenvectors and ^^^^ = ^^^^1, … ^^^^ ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ ^^^^ a square matrix containing the real singular values diagonals such that ^^^^1≤ ^^^^2≤ ⋯ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ . According to a mode of the method further comprises a determination of a power allocated to the data allocated to antenna ports and intended for the receiver to maximize a sum of the receiver rates, under the constraint of a maximum power per transmit antenna, by alternating between a maximization of a Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to the power matrix ^^^^ for a given value of ^^^^ and then, after an update of the value of the vector ^^^^taking into account its gradient, a maximization of the Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to ^^^^, with ^^^^ =[µ ^^^^, … , µ ^^^^] vector of the Lagrangian multipliers corresponding to the ^^^^ power constraints per antenna. According to an embodiment of the invention,the determination of a power allocated to the data also takes into account an electromagnetic exposure constraint at at least one point in space defined by a distance from the transmitter. This mode makes it possible to comply with a dual constraint of electromagnetic exposure and power per antenna. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control information is carried by a downlink physical control channel according to a mobile telecommunications standard. According to one embodiment of the invention, the data is transmitted via a downlink data channel of a 5G access network. According to one embodiment of the invention, the control information is multiplexed in the uplink data channel according to a mobile telecommunications standard.

Description of particular embodiments The invention is placed in the context of a MIMO communication system illustrated by Figure 1 already described in relation to the prior art. The MIMO system considered comprises at least one access point SB, called base station in cellular systems, and a terminal UE, that of a user. Such a transmission system SYS comprises a transmitter EM and a receiver ^^^^ ^^^^ in communication with the transmitter via a global channel CH between the transmitting antennas ANT_E and the receiving antennas ANT_R. Depending on whether the transmission considered is uplink or downlink, the transmitter is hosted respectively in the terminal or the base station and the receiver is hosted respectively in the base station or the terminal. In the case of a downlink transmission the receiver is also called "user equipment,terminal or user ». The transmitter EM includes ^^^^ transmitting antennas ANT_E ( ^^^^ > 1), which can interfere with each other. Similarly, the receiver RE includes ^^^^, ^^^^ ANT_R receiving antennas ( ^^^^ ^^^^ ≥ 2), which can interfere with each other. The global channel CH can be described by a matrix ^^^^ of dimension ^^^^ × ^^^^ with ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^, there is only one receiver. The invention is placed in the context where only the receiver is scheduled for given radio time-frequency resources at a given transmission interval (TTI), the system is called SU-MIMO. By applying an appropriate pre-coding ^^^^, the transmitter can transmit data to the receiver on ν antenna ports and on the same radio time-frequency resources by limiting the interference at reception between the ν received streams associated respectively with the ν antenna ports, 2 ≤ ^^^^ , ^^^^ being the number of spatial layers allocated to the receiver, ^^^^ ≤ min(M, N) with ^^^^ the number of transmitting antennas and N the number of receiving antennas. In other words, the transmission system SYS is called single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO). The pre-coding matrix ^^^^ performs a virtualization of the ^^^^ transmit antennas into ^^^^ antenna ports.The data vector intended for the receiver before pre-coding is of size ^^^^, i.e., the data before pre-coding is distributed over ^^^^ spatial layers, i.e., antenna ports. The pre-coding ^^^^ is described by a matrix of size ^^^^ × ^^^^, i.e., ^^^^ rows and ^^^^ columns. The number of spatial layers that a receiver can receive cannot exceed min( ^^^^, ^^^^). The transmitter transmits reference symbols to the receiver using the same antenna ports as those used for the data intended for this receiver, i.e., these reference symbols are therefore pre-coded like the data by means of the same pre-coding. The pre-coding ^^^^, described by a matrix of size ^^^^ × ^^^^ i.e. ^^^^ rows and ^^^^ columns, can be written: ^^^^1 ⋯ ^^^^1 ^^^^. ^^^^ The symbols of frequency (grids) associated respectively with the antenna ports according to a determined configuration. The reference of this configuration is transmitted to the receiver via a protocol associated with the RRC layer and in a semi-static manner, that is to say on a time scale much higher than the scheduling of a receiver (downstream channel) or transmitter (upstream channel) equipment which is done on the scale of an elementary time, called TTI. It is possible to distinguish different configurations of the DMRS reference symbols which define CDM (Code Division Multiplexing) groups associated with a number of antenna ports. Figure 4 illustrates the concept of configuration by CDM groups for the 5G standard. Each time-frequency grid whose structure corresponds to that of Figure 3 corresponds to a spatial layer or to an antenna port.Whatever the configuration of the groups, when a resource element RE of a grid carries a reference symbol then there can be no data transmission for this same resource element on any of the grids (the power for data is therefore zero for this resource element for each of the grids), there is therefore no spatial interference between reference symbols (DMRS) and data. But, for this same resource element RE there can be a reference symbol (DMRS) on one or more other grids. In this case, to avoid interference between reference symbols (DMRS) between several grids, the reference symbols (DMRS) carried by the same resource element are coded with spreading codes of a code called spatial code which are different between the grids.Since the reference symbols (DMRS) of a grid can be distributed only in frequency, only in time or in time and frequency, the spreading code has a frequency dimension, or a time dimension or a frequency dimension and a time dimension. The upper part of Figure 4 represents a first example of configuration of the reference symbols, DMRS. This configuration defines the CDM groups 0, 1 and 2 for six antenna ports, 1000-1005, when the reference symbols, DMRS, are simple (distributed on a single OFDM symbol time) and such that for a grid the reference symbols, DMRS, are grouped by two and occupy two RE resource elements along the frequency axis. Between two grids, i.e., two ports, of the same group the reference symbols, DMRS, occupy the same RE resource elements and are therefore coded differently with a spatial code so that the receiver can distinguish the different ports.Therefore, within the same group and between two ports, the reference symbols, DMRS, are orthogonal to each other due to the spatial code. Between the grids of two successive groups, for example between groups CDM 0 and CDM 1, the reference symbols, DMRS, are offset by two RE resource elements along the frequency axis. Therefore, between the grids of different groups, the reference symbols, DMRS, are orthogonal to each other in frequency. The lower part of Figure 4 represents a second example of configuration of the reference symbols, DMRS. This configuration defines the groups CDM 0, 1 and 2 for twelve antenna ports, 1000-1011, when the reference symbols, DMRS, are double (distributed over two OFDM symbol times) and such that for a grid the reference symbols, DMRS, are grouped by four and occupy two RE resource elements along the frequency axis and two RE resource elements along the time axis.Between two grids of the same group, the reference symbols, DMRS, occupy the same RE resource elements and are therefore coded differently so that the receiver can distinguish the different antenna ports. Therefore, within the same group and between two ports, the reference symbols, DMRS, are orthogonal to each other due to the spatial code. Between the grids of two successive groups, for example between groups CDM 0 and CDM 1, the reference symbols, DMRS, are offset by two RE resource elements along the frequency axis. Therefore, between the grids of different groups, the reference symbols, DMRS, are orthogonal to each other in frequency. As indicated above, the receiving equipment knows the configuration of the reference symbols, i.e. the maximum number of groups and the structure of these groups (reference symbol spread over one or more symbol times, on one or more frequencies, spatial code used, ports per group).According to the invention, the power allocation distinguishes between data and reference symbols. Power allocation to reference symbols Let. � d( ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^) e DMRS power reference ^^^^ ^^^^ for the antenna port ^^^^ and therefore for the channel estimation ^^^^ ^^^^corresponding pre-coded, with ^^^^ ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} the index of the resource elements carrying these symbols, with ^^^^ the number of reference symbols per antenna port. Depending on the configuration of the reference symbols, DMRS, the power per resource element (EPRE) per antenna, noted ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, is shared or not between several DMRS reference symbols. Indeed, several cases are to be considered depending on the configuration of the DMRS reference symbols: - 1.

According to the invention, the control information intended for the receiver thus comprises ^^^^ quantized power ratios for the spatial layers ^^^^ = 1, … , ^^^^ allocated for transmission to the receiver: ^ ^^^ ^^^^ Figure 5 very schematically illustrates a method 1 according to the invention implemented by a transmitter, a downlink access point, for example a base station in the case of a mobile access network, or an uplink terminal. The transmitter comprises ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmitting antennas and at least ^^^^ ≥ 2 antenna ports. The transmitter implements the communication method 1 to communicate at a given transmission interval (TTI) with a receiver. The receiver comprises ^^^^ ^^^^≥ 2 receiving antennas. The system that includes the base station and the user equipment therefore includes ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^receiving antennas. The base station transmits, to the user equipment, information indicating radio resource elements time frequency transmission allocated to ^^^^ ≥ 2 transmit antenna ports. This transmission is done using a control channel dedicated to the user equipment. According to the mobile telecommunications standards published by 3GPP, for example 4G, 5G, this control channel is the PDCCH channel. And the information is carried by the DCI (Data Control Information) and indicates the radio resource elements RE time frequency for each transmit antenna port. The format of the DCI indicates whether the radio resources are specified for an upstream channel or for a downstream channel. For example, a 0-1 format of the DCI specifies that the radio resources are specified for the upstream channel and a 1-0 format of the DCI specifies that the radio resources are specified for the downstream channel.According to method 1, control information, transmitted 11 from the transmitter to the receiver, indicates a ratio ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^of powers per resource element RE time frequency between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted to the receiver for a given antenna port ^^^^. For a downlink transmission, the control information is transported by the control channel which is dedicated to the user equipment and which is typically the PDCCH channel. For an uplink transmission, the control information can be multiplexed in the data channel, for example the PUSCH channel (Physical Uplink Shared Channel) in 4G or 5G. The receiver, a downlink terminal, or an uplink access point, for example a base station in the case of a mobile access network, implements a communication method 2 according to the invention illustrated very schematically by FIG. 5.The receiver receives 21 control information, transmitted from the transmitter to the receiver, indicating a ratio ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^of powers per resource element RE time frequency between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted to the receiver for a given antenna port ^^^^. When it receives the DMRS reference symbols associated with an antenna port ^^^^ intended for it, the receiver estimates the pre-coded channel ^. � ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^. By exploiting the power ratio(s), ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^or � (s) in the control information according to the invention, the receiver weights the pre-coded channel estimated from the reference symbols, ^ � ^^^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, and thus obtains the pre-coded channel ^ �^^^ ^^^^ which subsequently allows it to equalize the received data associated with the same antenna port ^^^^. In the case of DMRS reference symbols belonging to different configuration groups, "CDM groups", according to the invention the method can transmit only one power ratio, ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, per CDM group, for the receiver, in the case where the ratio between the power of the DMRS and that of the data carried by the same antenna port is the same for all the ports carrying the DMRS reference symbols belonging to a CDM group. Considering for illustrative purposes only a configuration with ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^CDM groups, the channel estimation for the receiver from the DMRS reference symbols is based on a set ^^^^ of CDM groups taken from the ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^CDM groups. Since the receiver is mapped to multiple antenna ports during transmission, the set ^^^^ indicates the port numbers assigned during transmission to this receiver.The method according to the invention determines the power ratios, ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^between the data and the reference symbols for the receiver and for each port assigned to this receiver, ^^^^ ∈ ^^^^. According to one embodiment, the power ratios ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^, ^^^^ ∈ ^^^^, are quantized, each on a number of bits ^^^^ > 1 (for example four), and are part of the control information transmitted to the receiver, for example transmitted in the control channel (PDCCH / DCI) in the downlink or multiplexed in the PUSCH channel in the uplink. SVD of the SU-MIMO downlink channel The signal transmitted from the ^^^^ antennas is: 1 ^^^^ ^^^^. 2 ^^^^ With: ^^^^ = [ ^^^^1, ^^^^2, ... , ^^^^ ^^^^ ] ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^×1the data vector to be transmitted to the receiver scheduled at a given transmission interval (TTI) of which each component has a power normalized to one, ^^^^ the data vector intended for the receiver is mapped onto ^^^^ spatial layers, ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ the precoding matrix associated with the receiver where ^^^^ is the number of spatial layers transmitted, ^^^^ = diagonal of power transmitted by antenna port, this matrix is ​​associated with the spatial layers on which the reference symbols and data transmitted and intended for the receiver are mapped. The received signal ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^ by the receiver can be written: 1 ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ 2 ^^^^+ ^^^^ With: ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ the transmission channel from the transmitter to ^^^^ transmitting antennas to the receiver to ^^^^ ^^^^ receiving antennas with ^^^^ ^^^^ <^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^ the noise vector such that ,According to a first embodiment of the invention, the transmitter's knowledge of the SU-MIMO channel (matrix ^^^^ i.e. the channel between the ^^^^ transmitting antennas and the ^^^^ transmitting antennas reception, ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ , ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ is the number of receiving antennas) is assumed to be perfect, the pre-coding matrix used ^^^^ corresponds to the first ^^^^ columns of the matrix ^^^^ of the so-called input eigenvectors resulting from the SVD decomposition of the channel ^^^^ and allows to cancel the interference between the ^^^^ spatial layers, i.e., the layers are orthogonal to each other. For the receiver, the channel matrix ^^^^ can be decomposed into singular values ​​(SVD, Singular Value Decomposition) as follows: ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ † ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^×M with ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ ^^^^× ^^^^ ^^^^the matrix containing the set of so-called eigenvectors of ℂM× ^^^^ ^^^^ the matrix containing the set of so-called input eigenvectors and ^^^^ =diag ^^^^ ^^^^1, … ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^ × ^^^^^^^^) ∈ ℂ ^^ ^^^^ a square matrix containing the real singular values on the diagonal coefficients such that ^^^^1≤ ^^^^2≤ ⋯ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ . The received signal ^^^^ can then be written: ^ ^^^ ^^^^ ^ Or again: ^ ^^^ ^^^^ Or even taking into account the composition of the matrix ^^^^: According to this first embodiment of a method according to the invention, the Singular-Value Decomposition (SVD) technique is used and the pre-coding used in SU-MIMO transmission for the data and the reference symbols intended for the receiver corresponds to the first columns of the resulting SVD decomposition of the channel: [ ^^^^1 ^^^^2 … ^^^^ ^^^^ ] ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ .The diagonal power matrix ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^1,⋯ , ^^^^ ^^^^ ) ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ describes the power allocated per spatial layer ^^^^ ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} where ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ corresponds to the first ^^^^ eigenvalues ​​of ^^^^. The signal ^^^^ ′ = ^^^^ † ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ with ^^^^ = ^^^^ can be written: ^^^^ = ^^^^ † ^^^^ spatially uncorrelated noise vector, i.e. ^^^^ † � = ^^^^ , . Subsequently, the eigenvalue ^^^^ ^^^^ , is called the eigenvalue associated with the layer ^^^^ ∈ { 1, … , ^^^^ } . Similarly, the variance ^^^^ ^^ 2 ^ ^ is called the variance of the layer ^^^^ ∈ { 1, … , ^^^^ }. SVD pre-coding allows to cancel the interference between the different streams received by the receiver in order to obtain ^^^^ parallel channels without interference. Thus, according to this first embodiment, with SVD pre-coding, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, SINR, (Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio) of the spatial layer ^^^^ is given by: = ^^^^ ^^^^ Q ^^^^with � ^^^^ ^^^^ the corresponding eigenvalue ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^ the power allocated to the spatial layer noise power of the spatial layer ^^^^. Power allocation to data per antenna port The power allocation Q ^^^^ to the data is determined to maximize the sum of the rates per antenna port which define channels orthogonal to each other due to pre-coding, under power constraints per antenna ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ : ^^^^ m These constraints are also written in the form: ∑ ^ According to the first embodiment, SVD pre-coding, the signal-to-noise ratio can be expressed in the form SNR ^^^^ is the eigenvalue corresponding to the spatial layer ^^^^, ^^^^ ^^^^ East the power allocated to the spatial layer ^^^^ and ^^^^ ^^ 2 ^ ^ is the noise power for layer ^^^^. Whatever the precoding ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ , for a receiver of the LMMSE type (with a matched whitening filter), the signal-to-noise ratio of the layer ^^^^ ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} can be expressed in the form: ^ ^^^ Indeed, the received signal ^^^^ ∈ ^^^^ for the receiver can be written: ^^^^.By defining ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^ = [ ^^^^ 1 ⋯ vient : ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^with: To solve the constrained optimization problem, whatever the pre-coding, the invention uses a ℒ ^^^^=1 ^^^^=1^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^P ant� With ^^^^ = [µ1, … , µ to the ^^^^ power constraints per antenna. According to the first mode, SVD pre-coding, the Lagrangian can be written in the form: ^ ^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ t Whatever the g par : g( ^^^^) = m ^^a^^x ℒ( ^^^^ , ^^^^)Since the utility function (sum of the flow rates) is convex, minimizing the function g is equivalent to optimizing the utility function. Calculating the vector ^^^^ that minimizes g optimizes the utility function and therefore the flow rate. The method according to the invention maximizes the Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to the power matrix ^^^^ for a given value of ^^^^, updates the value of the vector ^^^^ by taking into account its gradient and maximizes the Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to ^^^^. Thus, the method according to the invention alternates between a maximization of the Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to the power matrix ^^^^ for a given value of ^^^^ and, after an update of the value of the vector ^^^^ taking into account its gradient, a maximization of the Lagrangian ^^^^ with respect to ^^^^.Repetition of these alternating maximizations according to a particular algorithm allows the method to converge towards the power allocation matrix that meets the power constraints per antenna. An implementation of this algorithm according to a first mode, when the pre-coding is of the SVD type, is given in a condensed form in Appendix A and described below. In an initial step, the following variables or parameters are initialized. The vector ^^^^ is initialized to a value ^^^^. ( ^^^^) , ^^^^ = ^^^^ ( ^^^^) = ^^^^ 1× ^^^^ , the power matrix is ​​initialized to ^^^^^^^^× ^^^^, ^^^^ ∗(−1) = ^^^^^^^^× ^^^^, the iteration index is initialized to zero, ^^^^ = 0, the tolerance factor ^^^^ is initialized to the given value, for example ^^^^ = 10 − to a 3 , learning rates ^^^^ corresponding to the Lagrangian multiplier ^^^^ ^^^^ are initialized to a given value, for example ^^^^ ^^^^= 0.2. The function corresponding to the maximization of the Lagrangian with respect to the power matrix ^^^^ for a given value of ^^^^ is noted: ^^^^ ∗ = ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^ , ^^^^) ^ ^^^ The power allocated to the spatial layer ^^^^ ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} corresponds to a maximum of the function ^^^^ ∗ , i.e., when its derivative is zero:^^^^ℒ( ^^^^ , ^^^^)^^^^Q ^^^^ = 0, and therefore: ∗ ^^^^2 ^^^^ ^^^^2^^^^ ^^^^ = − ^^^^ is given by: ^^^^ ∗ ( ^^^^) = diag( ^^^^1 ∗ ( ^^^^), … , ^^^^ ^ ∗ ^ ^^ ( ^^^^)) (5)As by definition the dual Lagrange function is:g( ^^^^) = m ℒ ^^^^ , alors : The initials of ^^^^ ∗ ^^^^ ∗ ^^^^ ∗ ^^^^ (0) ) After the initialization step, the flow of A is as follows. - 1. Increment the index of the current iteration, ^^^^ = ^^^^ + 1, - 2. Given the value ^^^^ ∗(i−1) obtained in the previous iteration, the current value of g( ^^^^) is given by g( ^^^^) = ^^^^− ^^^^� and the gradient with respect to the vector ^^^^ is calculated as follows for all m ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} : ^^^^ , - 3. Based on the gradient, the update of each Lagrangian multiplier for all m ∈ {1, … , ^^^^} is given by: for the Lagrangian multiplier ^^^^ ^^^^ , - according to the equation ^^^^ ∗ ( ^^^^) = diag ( ^^^^1( ^^^^), … , ^^^^ ^ ∗ ^ ^^( ^^^^) ) And repeat 1-4 until At the last iteration when the difference is less than the threshold ^^^^, the determined matrix ^^^^∗( ^^^^) =diag( ^^^^∗( ^^^^), … , ^^^^∗( ^^^^)) includes the powers ∗1 ^^^^ es Q ^^^^ = ^^^^ ^^^^( ^^^^) for the data for each antenna port among the ^^^^ antenna ports. According to a second mode, when the pre-coding is arbitrary, for example a MMSE type pre-coding, the calculation of ^^^^ ∗ = argmax ℒ ( ^^^^ , ^^^^ ) based on the derivation given by equation (4) requires ^ ^^^ a numerical derivation of the Lagrangian. An implementation is given in condensed form in exe B. According to this mode, to obtain the derivative with respect to ^^^^ ^^^ ( ) Ann ^ℒ ^^^^ , ^^^^ ^ ^^^ of the Lagrangian, ^^^^Q ^^^^ , the method according to the invention follows a gradient descend / ascend type approach which is based on a numerical derivative of^^^^ℒ( ^^^^ , ^^^^)^^^^Q ^^^^assuming that the Lagrangian function is locally convex (around ^^^^ (0) ^ ^^^ ). Power allocation constrained by limit of exposure to electromagnetic fields According to one embodiment of the invention, it takes into account an additional constraint linked to exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFE Electromagnetic field exposure). The EMFE constraints are considered on a set ^^^^ of points in space, of any shape which does not necessarily correspond to a sphere: the received power ^^^^ ^^^^ at each point ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ must not exceed a value ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^determined by a regulatory text ( ^^^^ ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^∀ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^). Each point ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ can be identified by a distance to the transmitter. The received power ^^^ ^ ^ ^^^ at a point ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ in space is given by: ^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^1 / 2 with ^^^^ the transmitted data vector ^^^^ = [ ^^^^1, ^^^^2, ... , ^^^^ ^^^^ ] ^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^ each component of which has a power normalized to 1, ^^^^ the number of spatial layers transmitted to the receiver,^^^^ ∈ ℂ ^^^^× ^^^^ the diagonal power matrix which describes the power allocated per spatial layer ^^^^ ∈^^^^ precoding and ^^^^ ^^^^ ∈ ℂ 1× ^^^^ the vector representing the channel between the transmitter and the point ^^^^. These EMFE constraints are added to the constraints of transmission powers per antenna and the performance maximization problem is now given by: under constraints that:[^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ †] ^^^^,m ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^,∀ m ∈ {1, … , ^^^^}And under constraints that: � … , To solve the constrained optimization problem, the invention uses a Lagrangian ℒ ^^^^=1 ^^^^=1 ^^^^=1 with ^^^^ = [µ1, … , µ ^^^^, µ ^^^^+1 , … , µ^^^^+| ^^^^|] the vector of Lagrangian multipliers whose first ^^^^ elements correspond to the ^^^^ power constraints per antenna and the | ^^^^ | last elements correspond to the | ^^^^| EMFE constraints. According to this embodiment and with SVD pre-coding the Lagrangian becomes: ^^^^ ℒ ^^^^ ^^^^ Q ^^^^ constraints: transmission power per antenna and EMF constraints on the different points ^^^^ of space. Thus, at iteration ^^^^, the calculation of the gradients ^^^^ ( ^^^^) ^ ^^^ for ^^^^ ∈ { ^^^^, … , ^^^^} corresponding to the antenna transmission power constraints is that given by expression (6) and the calculation of the gradients ^^^^ ( ^ for ^^^^ ∈ { ^^^^ + ^^^^, … , ^^^^ + | ^^^^|} corresponding to the EMFE constraints on the different points ^^^^ the space is given by the following expression: ∗ (i−1) Δ Thus, according to this embodiment of the invention, the powers Q ^^^^determined according to the method respect the power constraint per antenna and are such that the power received at any point ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ does not exceed the regulatory EMFE constraint. Figure 6 is a diagram of an embodiment of an access point according to the invention in the context of a 4G or 5G type telecommunications system. The access point PA comprises ^^^^ transmitting antennas ANT_E, at least ^^^^ antenna ports, ^^^^ receiving antennas RX, a transmitter EM1, a receiver RE1, a memory MEM1 comprising a buffer memory, a computer (microprocessor) µP1 whose instructions allow the implementation of a method 1 and / or a method 2 of communication according to the invention. At initialization, the code instructions of the program Pg1 are for example loaded into the buffer memory MEM1 before being executed by the microprocessor µP1. The µP1 microprocessor controls the various components of the access point, the EM1 transmitter and the RE1 receiver.The EM1 transmitter comprises a transmission chain which generally comprises at least a channel coding (error correcting) COD of input data DATA, a MIMO coding and an OFDM multi-carrier modulation to generate TB data packets mapped to the time-frequency resource grids of the antenna ports assigned to the user equipment (terminal) at a given transmission interval (TTI). The EM1 transmitter allows these TB data packets to be transmitted to the user equipment via a PDSCH data channel.The transmitter EM1 furthermore makes it possible to transmit: - DMRS reference symbols, - control information indicating ^^^^ ≥ 2 antenna ports allocated to the user equipment and identifying transmission time frequency RE resource elements allocated to the antenna ports, according to semi-static (RRC) and / or dynamic mechanisms via a PDCCH control channel dedicated to the user equipment, - a power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^per time frequency RE resource element, between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted to this user equipment for a given antenna port ^^^^, this ratio being transported by the PDCCH control channel dedicated to the user equipment. The receiver RE1 makes it possible to receive the DMRS reference symbols transmitted by the terminal to estimate the uplink channel from the terminal for the demodulation of the data received by the receiver RE1.The RE1 receiver also allows receiving: - a power report ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^per RE resource element time frequency, between. received reference symbols and data transmitted to this access point, for a given antenna port ^^^^, this ratio being multiplexed in an uplink data channel, PUSCH. By executing instructions, the microprocessor µP1 controls the transmitter EM1 to transmit control information indicating transmission time frequency resource elements RE allocated to at least two antenna ports assigned to the user equipment, via semi-static (RRC) and / or dynamic mechanisms (via a PDCCH control channel dedicated to the user equipment), and so that the PDCCH control channel dedicated to the user equipment indicates a power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^per time frequency resource element RE between DMRS reference symbols and data TB transmitted to this user equipment by the access point, for a given antenna port ^^^^.By executing instructions specific to reception by the base station, the microprocessor µP1 controls the receiver RE1 so that it receives DMRS reference symbols from the terminal and at least one power report ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^per time frequency RE resource element, between reference symbols received and data from the terminal and intended for the access point, for a given antenna port ^^^^, this report being multiplexed in an uplink data channel, PUSCH. By executing the instructions, the microprocessor µP1 determines a first estimate of the pre-coded SU-MIMO channel by exploiting the received DMRS reference symbols, for an antenna port ^^^^ assigned to this access point, and weights this first estimate with the power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^to obtain an estimate of the pre-coded channel of the TB data intended for this access point and received by the receiver RE1.The simplified structure of an embodiment of a terminal according to the invention capable of implementing a communication method 1, 2 according to the invention is illustrated by figure 7. The terminal UE comprises ^^^^ transmitting antennas ANT_E, ^^^^. ^^^^ ≥ 2 RX reception antennas, a receiver RE2, a transmitter EM2, a memory MEM2 comprising a buffer memory, a computer (microprocessor) µP2 whose operation is controlled by the execution of a program Pg2 whose instructions allow the implementation of a method 1 and / or a method 2 of communication according to the invention. At initialization, the code instructions of the program Pg2 are for example loaded into the buffer memory MEM2 before being executed by the microprocessor µP2. The microprocessor µP2 controls the various components of the terminal, the receiver RE2 and the transmitter EM2. The receiver RE2 comprises an OFDM / MIMO / COD reception chain -1which performs the reverse operations of the access point's transmission chain to receive one or more TB data packets transmitted by this access point via a PDSCH data transmission channel.The receiver RE2 also makes it possible to receive: - DMRS reference symbols transmitted by the access point, - control information indicating ^^^^ ≥ 2 antenna ports allocated to this UE terminal and identifying transmission time-frequency RE resource elements allocated to the antenna ports used for transmission by the access point, transmitted by the access point according to semi-static (RRC) and / or dynamic mechanisms via a PDCCH control channel dedicated to the UE terminal, - a power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^per RE time-frequency resource element, between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted to this terminal for a given antenna port ^^^^, this (or these) ratio(s) being carried by the PDCCH control channel dedicated to the UE terminal, and transmitted by the access point. The transmitter EM2 makes it possible to: - transmit DMRS reference symbols.The EM2 transmitter comprises a transmission chain which generally comprises at least a channel coding (error corrector) COD of input data DATA, a MIMO coding and a multi-carrier modulation OFDM to generate TB data packets mapped to the time-frequency resource grids of the antenna ports assigned to the receiver (base station) at a given transmission interval (TTI). The EM2 transmitter allows these TB data packets to be transmitted to the base station via an uplink data channel, PUSCH. The EM2 transmitter also allows to transmit: - a power ratio β. SCH,lper time-frequency resource element RE, between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted to the base station, for a given antenna port ^^^^, this ratio being multiplexed in the PUSCH data channel. Thus, by executing the instructions, the microprocessor µP2 controls the receiver RE2 so that it receives DMRS reference symbols, control information indicating transmission time-frequency resource elements RE allocated to at least two antenna ports assigned to this terminal UE as well as a power ratio ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^per time-frequency resource element RE between DMRS reference symbols and data transmitted, for a given antenna port ^^^^, to this terminal UE.By executing the instructions, the microprocessor µP2 determines a first estimate of the pre-coded SU-MIMO channel by exploiting the received DMRS reference symbols, for an antenna port ^^^^ assigned to this terminal, and weights this first estimate with the power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^, ^^^^to obtain an estimate of the pre-coded channel of the data TB intended for this terminal and received by the receiver RE2. By executing transmission-specific instructions, the microprocessor µP2 controls the transmitter EM2 to transmit DMRS reference symbols via the channel PUSCH and a power ratio ^^^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ per resource element RE time frequency between DMRS reference symbols. and data for a given antenna port ^^^^, at the access point by the terminal, this ratio being multiplexed in the upstream data channel, PUSCH. The power control of the reference symbols for the pre-coded channel estimation at the receiver makes it possible to have a channel estimation quality independent of the power allocated to the data per spatial layer. This power control strategy requires transmitting from the transmitter to the receiver ^^^^ power ratios, ^^^^ ≤ ^^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^ ( ^^^^, ^^^^) being the number of spatial layers selected for transmissions to the equipment. Consequently, the invention also applies to one or more computer programs, in particular a computer program on or in an information carrier, adapted to implement the invention.This program may use any programming language, and be in the form of source code, object code, or intermediate code between source code and object code such as in a partially compiled form, or in any other form desirable for implementing a method according to the invention. The information carrier may be any entity or device capable of storing the program. For example, the carrier may comprise a storage means, such as a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a microelectronic circuit ROM, or a magnetic recording means, for example a USB key or a hard disk. Furthermore, the information carrier may be a transmissible medium such as an electrical or optical signal, which may be conveyed via an electrical or optical cable, by radio or by other means. The program according to the invention may in particular be downloaded from a network such as the Internet.Alternatively, the information carrier may be an integrated circuit in which the program is incorporated, the circuit being adapted to execute or to be used in the execution of the method in question. According to techniques known to those skilled in the art, the transmitter, to calculate the pre-coder and the power ratios between the DMRS and the data, must know the transmitter-to-receiver channel in advance. This knowledge may be based on the principle of reciprocity in TDD. The transmitter estimates the receiver-to-transmitter channel using reference signals transmitted by the receiver. The reciprocity of the channel makes it possible to deduce the transmitter-to-receiver channel from the estimated receiver-to-transmitter channel. In the downlink direction, the reference signals transmitted by the receiver (UE terminal) for the acquisition of the channel on transmission by reciprocity are the SRS while in the uplink direction the reference signals used are the CSI-RS (transmitted by the access point).Another approach can be based on the transmission, from the receiver, of the "quantized" channel (codebook based MIMO) transmitter to receiver. For example, in the downstream direction, the receiver (UE terminal) can estimate this channel using the CSI-RS transmitted by the transmitter (access point PA).
