Description

Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) estimation method and device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a channel quality indicator CQI estimation method and apparatus.
Background
The Long Term Evolution/Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE/LTE-a) system is a fourth-Generation mobile communication standard established by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP) organization. LTE supports multiple bandwidth allocations: 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, 20MHz and the like, and the frequency spectrum allocation is more flexible. LTE is currently mainly operated in licensed spectrum, and the frequency band selected in different regions is also different. North american networks plan to use 700/800 and 1700/1900 MHz; european network plans to use 800, 1800, 2600 MHz; asian networks plan to use 1800 and 2600 MHz; the australian network plans to use 1800 MHz.
To support a wider frequency band, LTE-a introduces Carrier Aggregation (CA for short), the basic idea being to form a wider spectrum by aggregating a number of continuous or discrete carriers together. With carrier aggregation, LTE-a can support 100MHz bandwidth at maximum.
With the continuous increase of data traffic, licensed spectrum resources become more and more crowded and tense. Therefore, a natural idea is to extend the LTE/LTE-a system to unlicensed spectrum resources for use by using methods such as carrier aggregation with the assistance of licensed carriers.
On a licensed carrier, an LTE evolved NodeB (E-UTRAN NodeB, abbreviated eNB) sends reference signals for Channel State Information (CSI) measurement to a User Equipment (UE), including Non-Zero Power CSI reference signals (NZP CSI-RS) for CSI measurement and Zero Power CSI reference signals (ZP CSI-RS) for interference measurement; the UE receives the measurement reference signal, performs CSI measurement and reports the measurement result to the eNB; the eNB depends on CSI information reported by the UE to perform accurate data scheduling transmission, and the CSI measurement includes Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI for short), Channel Quality Indicator (CQI for short), interference measurement and the like.
In the unlicensed spectrum, in addition to the LTE system, there are other systems such as Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) and Radar (Radar), for fairness, each node needs to obtain a channel right through contention, before using the channel, a Clear Channel Access (CCA) needs to be performed, and only if a CCA result indicates that the channel is idle, the network node can access the channel and transmit necessary reference signals and data. Therefore, the transmission density of the reference signals for CSI measurement will be closely related to the success rate of the eNB accessing the channel. If the frequency of the eNB accessing the channel is low, the transmission density of the measurement reference signal is greatly reduced, on one hand, the CQI and interference measurement results are inaccurate due to less measurement samples; on the other hand, if the CQI measurement and the interference measurement can only be performed during the channel occupying period, the eNB cannot obtain the measurement result in time because of a certain delay in the measurement report, and even the eNB may still not obtain the channel measurement result before the eNB finishes the channel occupying.
In addition, a Licensed Assisted Access (LAA) cell may select to transmit data on an unlicensed carrier or an Licensed carrier, and because the interference situation on the Licensed carrier may be greatly different from the interference situation on the unlicensed carrier, a single measurement behavior at present may not meet the requirement of carrier switching.
For the problem that a single measurement behavior cannot meet the requirement of carrier switching in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed yet.

In view of the above problems in the related art, the following description is made with reference to an alternative embodiment, in which the above alternative embodiment and its alternative embodiments are combined.
The technical problem to be solved by this alternative embodiment is: since the reference signal for CSI measurement is sent discontinuously on the unlicensed carrier, CQI measurement and interference measurement may be inaccurate, and the LAA cell may perform carrier switching between the unlicensed carrier and the licensed carrier, a single measurement behavior may not meet the requirement of carrier switching.
In order to solve the above technical problem, this optional embodiment provides a method and a system for unlicensed carrier measurement, where the method performs CQI estimation for a current occupation period according to a CCA policy of an LAA cell by using an interference measurement result of a UE during a CCA period and information of useful signal energy, a CQI measurement result, and the like of a previous occupation period. So that the LAA eNB can obtain the CQI in time for data scheduling transmission. During the occupation period, more accurate interference measurement can be carried out by utilizing the pre-configured LAA ZP CSI-RS, and when the LAA cell can be switched between the authorized carrier and the unauthorized carrier, different ZP CSI-RSs can be configured for interference measurement so as to accurately measure the interference situation on the authorized carrier and the unauthorized carrier.
It should be noted that the interference measurement time slot is not limited to the CCA observation period, and may be other time slots, as long as the interference situation experienced by the target eNB in the time slot is similar to the interference situation in the occupied period.
The interference measurement time slot may be configured by the base station, and may be one or more LTE subframes, one or more LTE symbols, and one or more CCA observation durations. The base station may configure the UE with periodic interference measurement slots, may also indicate aperiodic measurement slots, and may trigger the UE to perform interference measurements. For example, the indication can be performed by using DCI carried by PCell/Scell PDCCH/EPDCCH.
Consider a scenario where an LTE eNB prepares for downlink or uplink + downlink data transmission on an unlicensed carrier. Before obtaining the Channel usage right, the LAA base station needs to perform a Clear Channel Access (CCA) to obtain available Channel information. The LAA eNB accesses the channel, enters an occupation period, and starts to send a measurement reference signal for the UE to measure. If the LAA cell can be switched between the licensed and unlicensed carriers, different interference measurement reference signals should also be configured for the licensed and unlicensed carriers. The specific operation method is described in detail below.
The method comprises the following steps: the LAA cell determines the CCA strategy.
The CCA strategy selectable by the LAA cell includes:
strategy 1: and simultaneously detecting the interference of the different system and the interference of the same system, and using a CCA threshold.
Strategy 2: and simultaneously detecting the interference of the different system and the interference of the same system, and using two CCA thresholds.
Strategy 3: only inter-system interference is detected.
The LAA cells may use a CCA policy agreed in advance by the network, for example, all LAA cells, or LAA cells belonging to the same operator, may agree to use the same CCA policy.
Which CCA strategy is used by the LAA cell may also be indicated by the Pcell. The indication method may send the DCI through a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH for short) and an enhanced Physical Downlink Control Channel (enhanced PDCCH for short) for indication.
Step two: optionally, the LAA cell configures the muting pattern.
The LAA cell muting pattern comprises frequency information and time information of LAA cell muting; wherein, the frequency information includes the center frequency and bandwidth information of silence, which can also be represented by sub-channel number, or sub-channel number + bandwidth; wherein the time information mainly comprises the silent moment and the silent duration.
In a co-located scenario of a primary Cell PCell on a licensed carrier and a Secondary Cell (SCell for short) on an unlicensed carrier, an LAA Cell may use the timing of the primary Cell as a synchronization reference.
Under the condition that a primary cell PCell on an authorized carrier and a secondary cell Scell on an unauthorized carrier are not co-located, LAA cells need to be synchronized to ensure that the LAA cells can perform silencing at the same time.
The LAA cell may configure a plurality of muting patterns, for example, the LAA cells from different operators configure muting pattern 1, and in the muting pattern, the LAA cell does not perform downlink data transmission and uplink data reception, and at this time, interference obtained by performing interference measurement in any LAA cell is different system interference, that is, interference outside the LAA system.
When multiple operators are present in the network, the LAA cell may be configured with additional muting patterns in order to distinguish interference of different operators. For example, the LAA cell from the operator OP1 may configure a muting pattern 2, in which none of the LAA cells from the operator OP1 performs downlink data transmission and uplink data reception, and at this time, any LAA cell from the operator OP1 performs interference measurement, and the obtained interference includes both inter-system interference and LAA cell interference of an operator other than the operator OP 1. Similarly, LAA cells from other operators in the network may also be configured with muting patterns inside the operator's network.
Step three: the LAA cell performs CCA according to the CCA policy.
If the LAA cell detects only inter-system interference using CCA strategy 1, the LAA cell may perform interference measurement as follows.
The first method is as follows:
the LAA cell is configured with only the inter-system interference muting pattern.
The LAA cell carries out inter-system interference measurement at the silence moment indicated by the preset inter-system interference silence pattern, and at the moment, the measured interference is inter-system interference and is marked as I _ out;
the LAA cell carries out interference measurement at a time except the silent time indicated by the preset inter-system interference silent pattern, wherein the measured interference comprises the same-system interference and the inter-system interference and is marked as I _ total;
and calculating the co-system interference, I _ in is I _ total-I _ out.
The second method comprises the following steps:
the LAA cell is simultaneously configured with an inter-system interference silent pattern and an inter-system interference silent pattern;
the LAA cell carries out inter-system interference measurement on a preset inter-system interference silence pattern, and at the moment, the measured interference only contains inter-system interference and is marked as I _ out;
the LAA cell carries out interference measurement on a preset same-system interference silent pattern, and at the moment, the measured interference only contains the same-system interference and is marked as I _ in;
the total system interference is I _ total ═ I _ out + I _ in;
if the LAA cell uses the CCA strategy 1, namely, the interference of different systems and the interference of the same system are detected simultaneously, an interference threshold is used; comparing the total interference energy I _ total with a preset interference threshold TH1, if the total interference energy is greater than the interference threshold one, namely I _ total > TH1, indicating that the total interference is strong, judging that the current channel state is not idle, and the LAA cannot access the channel; if the total interference energy is less than or equal to the interference threshold one, i.e., I _ total < TH1, it indicates that the total interference is within an acceptable range, and it is determined that the channel state is idle and the LAA cell can access the channel.
If the LAA cell uses the CCA strategy 2, namely, the interference of the different system and the interference of the same system are detected at the same time, two interference thresholds are used; comparing the inter-system interference energy I _ out with a preset inter-system interference threshold two TH2, comparing the inter-system interference energy I _ in with a preset co-system interference threshold three TH3, if the inter-system interference energy is greater than the inter-system interference threshold, i.e. I _ out > TH2, or the co-system interference energy is greater than the co-system interference threshold, i.e. I _ in > TH3, indicating that the inter-system interference is too strong, or the co-system interference is too strong, determining that the current channel state is not idle, and the LAA cannot access the channel; and if the inter-system interference energy is not greater than the inter-system interference threshold, i.e., I _ out < ═ TH2, and the co-system interference energy is not greater than the co-system interference threshold I _ in < ═ TH3, determining that the channel state is idle, and the LAA cell can access the channel.
The CCA strategy 2 has the advantages that the CCA threshold of the same system can be dynamically adjusted according to the interference processing capacity of the LAA cell, and if the LAA cell uses a certain CCA threshold of the same system and the receiving performance is not ideal, the CCA threshold of the same system can be gradually adjusted down according to a certain step length; on the contrary, if the LAA cell uses a CCA threshold of the same system and the receiving performance is very good, the CCA threshold of the same system can be gradually increased according to a certain step length.
If the LAA cell uses the CCA strategy 3, only the interference of the different systems is detected; the LAA cell compares the inter-system interference energy I _ out with a preset interference threshold TH2, if I _ out > TH2, the inter-system interference is too strong, the current channel state is judged to be not idle, and the LAA cannot access the channel; if the inter-system interference energy is not greater than the interference threshold two, i.e., I _ out < ═ TH2, it indicates that the inter-system interference is within an acceptable range, and the channel state is determined to be idle, and the LAA cell can access the channel.
Step four: the LAA cell configures an interference measurement reference signal (optional step).
For the cells using CCA strategy 2 and CCA strategy 3, the CCA result can only indicate that there is almost no inter-system interference, and the co-system interference is still present, so that the interference measurement reference signal needs to be configured for the UE to perform interference measurement. For example, LAA ZP CSI-RS may be configured for LAA cell 1, and on REs configured with LAA ZP CSI-RS, LAA cell 1 mutes and does not transmit, while other cells normally transmit.
The LAA cell may configure multiple ZP CSI-RS configurations, some for interference measurements on licensed carriers and some for interference measurements on unlicensed carriers. For unlicensed carriers with different carrier frequencies, different ZP CSI-RSs can also be configured.
Step five: the LAA cell accesses the channel.
After the CCA judges that the channel is idle, the LAA cell accesses the channel, starts to transmit the measurement reference signal and transmits data, and the period from the access of the LAA cell to the release of the channel is called an occupation period.
For the LAA cell of the initial access channel, since no channel state information feedback is obtained, data Transmission may be performed using a default Transmission Mode (TM) and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), or may be performed using the Transmission mode TM and MCS indicated by Pcell. For example, the default transmission mode is TM2, the diversity transmission scheme, and MCS 0 is used for transmission by default.
For an LAA cell that does not access a channel for the first time, assuming that the reference Signal transmission power of the cell and the last occupancy are unchanged, that is, the Signal to interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) is the useful Signal power S during S/I calculation, only the interference and Noise need to be calculated, and the CQI is obtained by looking up the SINR-CQI mapping table according to the SINR. Different interference noise measurement methods may be used depending on the CCA strategy employed.
If the LAA cell uses the CCA strategy 1, namely, the interference of different systems and the interference of the same system are detected simultaneously, an interference threshold is used; CCA idle indicates that the total interference from both the same system and the different system remains within an acceptable range; the CQI estimation can be done as follows:
before the UE can perform CQI estimation using the measurement reference signal transmitted by the LAA eNB, the eNB can acquire CQI as follows:
1. and for the UE in the coverage area, before the new CQI measurement result is obtained and reported, the LAA eNB can use the CQI measurement result of the last occupation period to carry out data scheduling transmission.
2. During the CCA of the LAA cell, the PCell may configure the UE to perform interference measurement on the target cell, and if the CCA result determines that the channel is idle, the interference measurement result during the CCA may approximate interference noise energy Itotal during the occupation period. And according to the assumption that the reference signal transmission power of the cell is unchanged from the last occupation, that is, the useful signal power is unchanged, the useful signal energy estimated by the reference signal in the last occupation period is approximately used as the useful signal energy S in the current occupation period, the UE can estimate SINR to be S/Itotal, and derive CQI. The measurement result during the CCA period can be reported through the Pcell, and can also be reported immediately after the Scell occupation period begins.
3. If the LAA eNB can obtain the CQI measurement result of the last occupation period and the CQI measurement result of the CCA period at the same time, one of the CQIs may be selected for use in data scheduling transmission; a new CQI value may also be derived using two CQIs, e.g. using the median of the two CQIs, or the closest CQI value after weighted averaging of the two CQI values, e.g. CQI (a × CQI1+ (1-a) CQI 2).
The SINR measurement result of the last occupation period and the SINR measurement result of the CCA period may also be used to derive a new SINR result, which is then used to derive the CQI.
And after the LAA cell enters the occupied period, the UE receives the measurement reference signal, measures the effective signal power and the interference power, calculates the SINR and deduces the CQI. The estimated CQI result can be reported in the current occupation period, and if the CQI result cannot be reported before the occupation period is ended, the CQI result can be reported through the Pcell so as to be referred to when the LAA cell is occupied next time.
If the LAA cell uses CCA strategy 2 or CCA strategy 3, CCA is idle, which indicates that the interference of the different system is kept within an acceptable range, and the interference of the same system still exists; in the occupied period, the LAA interference measured by the UE should include two parts, one part is the inter-system interference iouther and the other part is the intra-system interference ILAA, and the CQI estimation can be performed by the following method:
before the UE can make CQI estimation using the measurement reference signal sent by the LAA eNB, the eNB can acquire CQI as follows.
1. For the UE in the coverage area, before obtaining a new CQI measurement result and reporting, the LAA eNB can use the CQI measurement result of the last occupation period to carry out data scheduling transmission, and the same-system interference may have variation in the two occupation periods, so that certain errors exist in the method.
2. For an LAA cell occupied for the first time, namely a cell without the history statistical value Itotal of total interference energy, during the CCA of the LAA cell, the PCell can configure the UE to perform interference measurement on a target cell, and if the CCA result determines that a channel is idle, the interference measurement result of the UE during the CCA period is used as an initial value of the total system interference noise energy Itotal.
3. According to the assumption that the reference signal transmission power of the cell and the last occupation are kept unchanged, namely the useful signal power is kept unchanged, the useful signal energy estimated by the reference signal in the last occupation period is approximately used as the useful signal energy S in the current occupation period, and the historical statistical value Itotal of the total interference energy is approximately used as the interference energy estimation in the current occupation period, the UE can estimate the SINR (signal to interference ratio) S/Itotal and deduce the CQI. The measurement result during the CCA period can be reported through the Pcell, and can also be reported immediately after the Scell occupation period begins.
And 4, after the LAA cell enters the occupied period, the UE receives the measurement reference signal, measures the effective signal power S, measures interference Itotal _ cur and SINR S/Itotal _ cur by using the configured interference measurement reference signal LAA ZP CSI-RS, and deduces CQI.
Smoothing the interference Itotal _ cur measured during the current occupancy period with the interference Itotal of the historical statistics to obtain a new total interference statistic value Itotal ═ (1-b) × Itotal + b × Itotal _ cur.
3. If the LAA eNB can obtain the CQI measurement result of the last occupation period and the CQI measurement result of the CCA period at the same time, one of the CQIs may be selected for use in data scheduling transmission; a new CQI value may also be derived using two CQIs, e.g. using the median of the two CQIs, or the closest CQI value after weighted averaging of the two CQI values, e.g. CQI (a × CQI1+ (1-a) CQI 2).
The SINR measurement result of the last occupation period and the SINR measurement result of the CCA period may also be used to derive a new SINR result, which is then used to derive the CQI.
