Description

Method and device for optimizing cooperative transmission
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for optimizing cooperative transmission.
Background
In the design and deployment of LTE-a (Long Term Evolution-Advanced) system and 5G (fifth generation wireless communication system), multi-cell joint transmission has become an important transmission scheme in order to improve system capacity and coverage and effectively suppress interference. In transmission mode 10(TM10) of 3GPP (3rd generation partnership Project), release 10(rel.10), CoMP (Coordinated Multiple Point) has been supported.
As shown in fig. 1, one transmission scheme for CoMP is CSCB (Coordinated Scheduling/Beamforming, joint Scheduling/Beamforming). There are multiple TPs (Transmission points) in a cell, a serving node of the UE1 is TP1 (Transmission node 1), a serving node of the UE2 is TP2 (Transmission node 2), and communication between TP2 and the UE2 causes interference to communication between TP1 and UE 1. The UE1(User Equipment) measures Channel information of TP1 and TP2 based on configuration information of a serving TP1, and the serving TP1 cooperates based on CSI (Channel state information) fed back by the UE1, for example, TP1 adjusts a beamforming vector of the UE1, and TP1 instructs TP2 to adjust the beamforming vector of the UE2, thereby implementing optimized transmission. As shown in fig. 1, the CSCB is characterized in that two transmission nodes (TP1 and TP2) respectively select optimal beamforming vectors for different UEs through coordination to reduce interference. Another transmission method of CoMP, namely, joint transmission, is also a research focus of LTE-a and 5G.
As shown in fig. 2, in the joint transmission, the UE1 measures channel information of the TP1 (transmission node 1) and the TP2 (transmission node 2) based on configuration information of the serving TP (transmission node 1), and feeds back CSI (channel state information) to the serving TP 1. The TP1 and TP2 jointly transmit data to the UE1 based on the fed back CSI information. Although the current protocol does not support joint transmission, joint transmission will be studied more deeply in future LTE-a successors and 5G ultra-dense deployments, and further, joint transmission is likely to be introduced into future communication protocols.
The current CoMP scheme mainly aims to solve the interference cancellation and coverage problem of the cell edge UE. However, in future 5G ultra-dense networking deployments, a virtual cell will be formed with the UE as the center, as shown in fig. 3, and under the ultra-dense networking deployments, the virtual cell is dynamically formed with the UE as the center. Thus, the UE will be in the center of the virtual cell rather than the cell edge. After forming the virtual cell, a plurality of TPs in the virtual cell constitute a cooperation set, where one TP is a serving TP and the remaining TPs are cooperation TPs. The serving TP is primarily responsible for controlling the transmission of channels, receiving CSI feedback, scheduling other cooperating TPs. Based on this situation, it would appear more necessary to implement a joint transmission scheme of multiple transmission nodes (TPs) in a virtual cell. And the virtual cell is dynamically formed based on CSI measurement and reporting of the UE. The UE receives cell search signals of a plurality of TPs, and based on the search signals, the UE selects a TP with the strongest signal as a serving TP. The serving TP acquires signal strength and forms a virtual cell. The service TP and other cooperating TPs complete the establishment of the cooperation set through the X2 interface, followed by the transport phase. In joint transmission of multiple TPs, multiple TPs may implement transmission based on different resource allocation patterns.
In the related CoMP transmission scheme, the determination from the formation of the cooperative cell to the cooperative transmission scheme is centered on the base station, and in the conventional CoMP scheme, the base station needs to form the transmission scheme and resource allocation based on the global channel information. In practical systems, this requires a large feedback overhead, which is not practical in LTE and 5G systems. Also, since the quantized channel information is not accurate, it may also have an impact on performance. Therefore, the base station-centric strategy does not effectively support coordinated multi-point transmission of UE-centric virtual cells.

The following further illustrates an optimization method of the coordinated transmission scheme of the UE-centric virtual cell by way of example.
Example 1
After a virtual cell (cooperative cell) has been formed, in order to optimize a transmission scheme of the virtual cell with the UE as a center, a conventional base station and the UE are functionally enhanced. Specifically, the enhancement of the base station mainly comprises that related signaling which is centered on the UE can be received, processed and configured; the enhancement of the UE mainly comprises transmission mode optimization calculation, resource allocation and feedback information.
As shown in fig. 6, the procedure for optimizing cooperative transmission proposed by this example may include the following steps:
s101, a service TP sends channel measurement configuration information to UE to indicate the UE to carry out channel measurement and estimation;
s102, the UE carries out channel estimation and measurement according to the received channel measurement configuration information;
s103, the UE performs optimization calculation based on a specific criterion according to the results of channel estimation and measurement to form an optimized transmission scheme and a resource allocation scheme;
and S104, the UE forms the enhanced CSI according to the formed optimized transmission scheme and the resource allocation scheme. Wherein the enhanced CSI comprises a resource indication and a transmission scheme indication.
S105, the service TP optimizes the transmission mode according to the enhanced CSI and sends the related signaling of the transmission mode optimization to the UE.
Example 2
In the present example, after the virtual cell (cooperative cell) has been formed, the UE side enhances the calculation and feedback to form the optimization of the resource allocation and cooperative transmission scheme.
As shown in fig. 10, the processing flow of the present example includes the steps of:
s101, the serving TP sends channel measurement configuration information to the UE.
The Channel measurement configuration Information may include a plurality of CSI process configurations, and each CSI process configuration includes a CSI-RS (Channel State Information-reference signal) for measuring non-zero power of a signal and a CSI-RS for measuring zero power of interference.
The configuration of each CSI may also include one subframe set. Since one serving TP may serve multiple UEs, different UEs perform measurement and estimation of interference and channel in different subframe sets, any UE needs to perform measurement and estimation of interference and channel in the subframe set corresponding to the UE.

According to the channel measurement configuration information sent by the service TP, the UE performs channel estimation and measurement on the TP indicated in the channel measurement configuration information according to the existing algorithms such as LS (Least Square), MMSE (minimum Mean Square Error) and the like. Since channel estimation algorithms such as LS, MMSE, etc. belong to the prior art, this step will not be described in detail.

The entire bandwidth of TP0 and TP1 may be divided into multiple sub-bands, with the shaded portions being the sub-bands with better channel conditions. As shown in fig. 10(a), the subband widths of two TPs are the same, and for TP0, the recommended subband resource may be indicated with 8 bits: 11010000, wherein a "1" indicates that the sub-band is recommended and a "0" indicates that the sub-band is not recommended; likewise, the recommended subband resources for TP1 may be indicated with bit 01011000. As shown in fig. 10(b), the subband widths of two TPs are not the same, and the recommended subband resource of TP0 may be indicated by 8 bits "11010000", and the recommended subband resource of TP1 may be indicated by 8 bits "01010000".
