See also Fig. 1, the description that it is exemplary the system configuration of channel estimating apparatus of the present invention.In this embodiment, this channel estimating apparatus is arranged on receiver end, comprises extracting multiple module 101, pilot tone abstraction module 102, channel estimation module 103, link-quality judgement and update module 104.Wherein:

Link-quality judgement and update module 104 are used for safeguarding, upgrade link-quality state (current) according to current link-quality measurement index, for using next time.

Extracting multiple judge module 101 is mainly used in determining according to link-quality user's current extracting multiple, i.e. this extracting multiple that should use of user.In this article, " dynamically " word is used for showing that channel estimating may occur repeatedly, corresponding, extracting multiple is also repeatedly determined.Therefore, we represent " this " with " current " word, " last time " expression " this " once front, the front several times of " history " expression " this ".

In one embodiment, extracting multiple judge module 101 can comprise:

Frequency domain resource judging unit: be used for judging that whether the frequency domain resource of CU is less than default number of resource blocks; In this way, determine that current extracting multiple is the lowermost level extracting multiple; Otherwise, transfer to link-quality judging unit up to standard and continue judgement;

Link-quality judging unit up to standard: be used for judging whether current link-quality is up to standard, as not being to determine that current extracting multiple is the lowermost level extracting multiple; Otherwise, heighten step by step current extracting multiple.

In another embodiment, link-quality judging unit up to standard can comprise:

Link-quality continues judging unit up to standard: be used for judge that link-quality is whether lasting up to standard in time period recently, as not being to determine that current extracting multiple is the lowermost level extracting multiple; Otherwise, transfer to historical extracting multiple judging unit and continue judgement;

Historical extracting multiple judging unit: be used for judging that historical extracting multiple is whether identical in time period recently, in this way, determine that current extracting multiple is the high one-level extracting multiple of historical extracting multiple, otherwise, determine that current extracting multiple is extracting multiple last time.

Above-mentioned frequency domain resource judging unit, link-quality judging unit up to standard, link-quality continue judging unit up to standard, historical extracting multiple judging unit, all do not indicate in the drawings.Obviously, those skilled in the art can on the basis of understanding its function, adopt the variety of ways such as software, hardware to go to realize these unit.

At first we illustrate the working method of extracting multiple judge module 101, and take the above-mentioned embodiment that comprises the lasting judging unit up to standard of link-quality and historical extracting multiple judging unit as example, the below supposes a user, and default at least two other extracting multiple of level.In addition, two registers have also been defined, i.e. link-quality status register R and extracting multiple level status register T.

Link-quality status register R, its long L that is set as, i.e. R=[r ₁r ₂R _L], each bit of R represents the link-quality state that once receives, and below standard with 0 expression, 1 expression is up to standard.Judge the link-quality state whether the mode of employing up to standard be: default link-quality value up to standard, determine that the link-quality measurement index whether greater than default link-quality value up to standard, in this way, determines that link-quality is up to standard; Otherwise link-quality is not up to standard; Wherein, the link-quality measurement index comprises signal to noise ratio, Block Error Rate or the signal to noise ratio of receive data and the combination of Block Error Rate, certainly, also can take other link-quality measurement index.R is initialized as full 0, can adopt a left side to go out the right side to it and enter (in this example, with r ₁Record link-quality state constantly far away, r ₁The near link-quality state constantly of record) time flag r is farthest removed in sliding type updating maintenance ₁The link-quality state of original record, and replace flag r ₂The link-quality state of original record, the like, until by flag r _L-1Record identification position r _LIn the link-quality state of original record, and at flag r _LIn record this link-quality state.As seen, recorded the history value of link-quality in the link-quality status register, extracting multiple judge module 101 can carry out determining of extracting multiple according to these link-quality history value.Link-quality state in the link-quality status register can be undertaken constantly sliding upgrading by aforesaid link-quality judgement and update module 104.

Extracting multiple level status register T, its long L, T=[t of being set as equally ₁t ₂T _L], each bit of T represents the extracting multiple of the demodulated reference signal of a channel estimating, T is initialized as full NULL (invalid), can adopt a left side to go out the sliding type updating maintenance that the right side enters (principle and link-quality status register R are similar, repeat no more) to it.

Be appreciated that r ₁Link-quality when the front L secondary channel that can represent this channel estimating (current) is estimated, in this article, with r ₁Secondary channel is carved into r when estimating _LThis section duration in the moment that secondary channel is estimated is defined as the nearest time period., when the mode bit of link-quality status register R is 1 entirely, can be judged to be in the duration at this section, within the time period recently, link-quality continues up to standard.

Extracting multiple level status register T reflects the selected extracting multiple of front L secondary channel estimation, on the whole, claim that these extracting multiple are historical extracting multiple, especially, the last secondary channel of this channel estimating is estimated that selected extracting multiple is called last time extracting multiple, obviously, last time extracting multiple is data in historical extracting multiple.

The process that extracting multiple is determined is:

(1) judge the frequency domain resource N that user m takies _{RB, m}Whether less than default number of resource blocks, if so, make S _i=S (1); If not, carry out (2);

Wherein, S is demodulated reference signal extracting multiple grade, and in this example, the extracting multiple grade is divided into C _maxLevel, S (1)＜S (2)＜...＜S (C _max), i is the numbering of user m up channel time sequencing, i.e. S _iIndicate user m in i extracting multiple constantly, as mentioned above, can claim S _iBe current extracting multiple, S _i-1Be extracting multiple last time; S (1) is the lowermost level extracting multiple.Wherein, the subscript of S represents constantly, the number expression extraction grade in the S unquote.

(2) judge whether the mode bit in link-quality status register R has 0, if make S _i=S (1); (being that link-quality is lasting up to standard within the time period recently), carry out (3) if not;

(3) judgement extracting multiple level status register T, if the sampling grade in register T has not identical (historical extracting multiple is not identical), make S _i=S _i-1If the grade in register T is identical (historical extracting multiple is identical) entirely, makes S _iBe S _i-1Grade put forward higher leveled extracting multiple, and upgrade extracting multiple level status register;

According to above-mentioned setting, be appreciated that when link-quality was up to standard, choosing step by step of current extracting multiple heightened.We suppose that a kind of link-quality continues situation up to standard, under initial condition, sampling grade in extracting multiple level status register T is not identical, but during along with each channel estimating, all choose last time extracting multiple as current extracting multiple and constantly update extracting multiple level status register T, can reach the complete identical situation of sampling grade in extracting multiple level status register T, at this moment, extracting multiple will improve a grade, then, after new grade continued for some time, extracting multiple will continue to improve until reach highest extracting multiple.Obvious, this routine extracting multiple is determined scheme, when link-quality is lasting up to standard, will present the stable trend that improves.This will improve the stability that extracting multiple is adjusted.

In addition, in the situation that link-quality is up to standard at the very start, choosing of extracting multiple can be arbitrarily, for example, can be arranged on equally lowermost level, to guarantee stability.
