另一方面,随着移动通信的发展以及新兴业务的出现,对高速率的需求越来越大。增加多用户配对的传输层数有利于提升系统吞吐量。但随着传输层数的增加,正交的DMRS端口可能会出现不够用的情况。当网络设备在对终端设备进行多用户配对时,如果实际配对的总层数超出系统支持的正交DMRS端口时,DMRS端口之间就会引入层间干扰。
因此,如何避免因终端设备与网络设备之间的传输层数过多而导致DMRS端口之间的层间干扰,这是目前需要解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种通信方法及装置,用于减少因终端设备与网络设备之间的传输层数过多而导致DMRS端口之间的层间干扰。为了达到以上目的,本申请实施例提供以下技术方案:
第一方面,提供一种通信方法,该方法包括接收设备通过第一时频资源从第一解调参考信号DMRS端口接收第一DMRS,通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口接收第二DMRS;其中,所述第一时频资源是所述第二时频资源中的部分时频资源,所述第一DMRS的正交掩码OCC与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC正交。
在本申请上述方法中,首先由于从第一DMRS端口进行传输的第一DMRS所占用的第一时频资源是第二时频资源中的部分时频资源,因此不需要单独为第一DMRS端口分配额外的时频资源开销。另外,由于第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC是正交的,因此可以避免第一DMRS端口与第二DMRS端口之间的干扰。进一步的,当第二DMRS端口为现有技术中configuration type 1下 系统最大支持的8个正交DMRS端口中的一个或者configuration type 2下系统最大支持的12个正交DMRS端口中的一个的情况下,由于本申请中通过第一DMRS端口传输的第一DMRS的OCC能够与第二DMRS对应的OCC正交,因此不会对第二DMRS端口的信息传输产生干扰,从而可以达到在现有技术中configuration type 1下系统最大支持的8个正交DMRS端口或configuration type 2下系统最大支持的12个正交DMRS端口的基础上,增加新的正交DMRS端口的效果。从而避免因终端设备与网络设备之间的传输层数过多而导致DMRS端口之间的层间干扰的效果。
在一种实现方式中,所述第一DMRS的正交掩码OCC,与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC进行循环移位后的结果相同。
通过上述实现方式可以实现使第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交。
在一种实现方式中,所述第二时频资源所包含子载波个数是所述第一时频资源所包含子载波的个数的P倍;P为大于1的整数;在时域的一个正交频分复用OFDM符号上,所述第一时频资源包括:所述第二时频资源所包含的子载波中等间隔分布的子载波集合;其中,所述子载波集合中相邻两个子载波之间间隔P-1个所述第二时频资源所包含的子载波。
通过上述实现方式,由于第一时频资源包括第二时频资源所包含的子载波中等间隔分布的子载波集合,因此便于确定出符合条件(即与第二DMRS在第一时频资源对应的OCC正交)的第一DMRS的OCC。
在一种实现方式中,P=2;所述第一DMRS的OCC与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC,满足以下公式一:
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000001
其中,s 1(m)表示所述第一DMRS的OCC中的第m项,s 2(m)表示所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC中的第m项;M表示承载所述第二时频资源的资源块RB中用于通过循环移位确定所述第一DMRS的OCC的第二DMRS所对应的RB的个数,M为2的倍数;ω 1表示所述第一DMRS的相移因子。
通过上述实现方式,可以利用上述公式一确定第一DMRS的OCC,从而实现方便快捷的确定出第一DMRS的OCC。
在一种实现方式中,该方法还包括:所述接收设备通过所述第一时频资源从第三DMRS端口接收第三DMRS。所述第三DMRS的OCC与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC,满足以下公式二:
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000002
其中,s 3(m)表示所述第三DMRS的OCC中的第m项,s 2(m)表示所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC中的第m项;M表示承载所述第二时频资源的RB中用于通过循环移位确定所述第一DMRS的OCC的第二DMRS所对应的RB的个数,M为2的倍数;ω 2表示所述第三DMRS的相移因子,ω 2与ω 1不同。
通过上述实现方式,考虑到当采用通过对特定DMRS端口(即第二DMRS端口)的DMRS(即第二DMRS)的OCC进行循环移位,来得到另一DMRS端口(即第一 DMRS端口)的DMRS(即第一DMRS)的OCC的情况下,可以通过采用不同相移因子ω,得到多种不同的OCC。这些多种不同的OCC所对应的DMRS的OCC,都可以与原特定DMRS端口的DMRS的OCC保持正交。因此,通过上述实现方式可以在第一DMRS端口以及第二DMRS端口复用的第一时频资源上,传输不对第一DMRS端口和第二DMRS端口产生干扰的第三DMRS。从而达到不增加分配给DMRS的时频资源开销的情况下,进一步增加系统所支持的正交DMRS端口的数量。

通过上述实现方式,可以由第四DMRS端口复用第二DMRS端口的第二时频资源中除第一时频资源之外的部分时频资源(即第三时频资源),从而进一步增加系统支持的正交DMRS端口的个数。

通过上述实现方式,由于第三时频资源包括第二时频资源所包含的子载波中等间隔分布的子载波集合,因此便于确定出符合条件(即与第二DMRS在第三时频资源对应的OCC正交)的第四DMRS的OCC。
在一种实现方式中,该方法还包括:所述接收设备发送第一指示信息;所述第一指示信息,用于向发送设备指示所述第一DMRS的相移因子或所述第一时频资源在所述第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项;所述第一DMRS的相移因子,用于表征所述第一DMRS的OCC与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC之间的相位差;所述发送设备为通过所述第一时频资源从所述第一DMRS端口发送所述第一DMRS的设备;
通过上述实现方式,发送设备可以根据第一指示信息确定第一DMRS的相移因子或所述第一时频资源在所述第二时频资源中的位置,以便通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。也可以理解为,上述实现方式可以通过接收设备发送第一指示信息的方式,为发送设备配置第一DMRS端口。
在一种实现方式中,所述方法还包括:所述接收设备接收来自发送设备的第二指示信息;所述第二指示信息,用于指示所述第一DMRS的相移因子或所述第一时频资源在所述第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项;所述第一DMRS的相移因子,用于表征所述第一DMRS的OCC与所述第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC之间的相位差;所述发送设备为通过所述第一时频资源从所述第一DMRS端口发送所述第一DMRS的设备。

在一种实现方式中,所述第一DMRS的正交掩码OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中所述第一时频资源对应的OCC进行循环移位后的结果相同。

本申请实施例描述的网络架构以及业务场景是为了更加清楚的说明本申请实施例的技术方案,并不构成对于本申请实施例提供的技术方案的限定,本领域普通技术人员可知,随着网络架构的演变和新业务场景的出现,本申请实施例提供的技术方案对于类似的技术问题,同样适用。
以下对本申请实施例所涉及的相关技术进行介绍:
1、资源块(resource BLOCK,RB)
在无线资源中,在时域上最小的资源粒度可以是一个正交频分复用(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing,OFDM)符号(symbol),可简称为符号(symbol);在频域上,最小的资源粒度可以是一个子载波。一个OFDM符号和一个子载波组成一个资源元素(resource element,RE)。物理层在进行资源映射的时候,是以RE为基本单位的。在一些通信协议中,例如在长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)标准协议中,一个时隙(slot)内所有的OFDM符号与频域上12个子载波组成一个RB,如图1所示。其中,一个时隙的OFDM符号个数可以为6个,也可以为7个。在另一些通信协议中,例如在新空口(New RAT,NR)标准协议中,1个RB包括一个OFDM符号以及12个子载波。
2、解调参考信号(demodulation reference signal,DMRS)端口
在移动通信网络中,发送设备(例如终端设备)可以通过一个或多个天线端口向接收设备(例如基站)发送无线信号。其中,天线端口作为一个逻辑上的概念,可以对应一个物理发射天线,也可以对应多个物理发射天线,这两种情况下接收设备的接收机(receiver)都不会去分解来自同一个天线端口的信号。因为从接收设备的角度来看,不管信道是由单个物理发射天线形成的,还是由多个物理发射天线合并而成的,这个天线端口对应的参考信号(reference signal)定义了这个天线端口。其中,对应DMRS的天线端口可以被称为DMRS端口,接收设备可以根据DMRS估计得到这个天线端口的信道信息。当接收设备为基站时,基站便可以根据信道估计结果进行物理上行共享信道(physical uplink shared channel,PUSCH)数据解调。当接收设备为终端设备时,终端设备便可以根据信道估计结果进行物理下行共享信道(physical downlink shared channel,PDSCH)数据解调。
目前在移动通信网络中,可以通过使多层DMRS端口的DMRS正交,来实现通过多层DMRS端口同时向接收设备发送信息。具体的,在进行上行DMRS信道估计中,系统最大支持的DMRS正交的DMRS端口的个数,与当前采用的波形、DMRS配置类型相关。
例如,在新无线接入技术(new radio access technology,NR)系统中,上行通信可以支持两种波形:基于循环前缀的正交频分复用(cyclic prefixed orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,CP-OFDM),或者基于离散傅利叶变换扩展的正交频分复用(discrete fourier transform-spread-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing,DFT-S-OFDM)波形。其中,通过高层信令配置,可以确定上行通信具体采用哪种波形。
其中,上行通信所采用波形不同,会导致DMRS序列的生成方式不同。例如,在NR系统中,DFT-S-OFDM波形对应DMRS采用ZC序列,而CP-OFDM波形对应DMRS采用gold序列。对于CP-OFDM波形而言,可以支持两种DMRS配置,即配置类型1(configuration type 1)和配置类型2(configuration type 2)。在配置类型1(configuration type 1)下,系统支持8端口DMRS正交,即最大支持8层正交DMRS端口复用;在配置类型2(configuration type 2)下,系统支持12端口DMRS正交,即系统最大支 持12层正交DMRS端口复用。
另外,根据DMRS时域位置的不同,可将DMRS分为前置的DMRS(front-loaded DMRS)和额外的DMRS(additional DMRS)。其中,front-loaded DMRS放在一个时隙内的前几个符号,并且最多可配置两个符号。
在多层正交DMRS端口复用的情况下,在频域上,不同的DMRS端口被划分成不同的码分复用(code division multiplexing,CDM)组(group)。其中,同一个CDM group内的DMRS端口利用正交掩码(orthogonal cover code,OCC)来进行时频域上的扩展,并能够保证不同DMRS端口上的正交性,从而提高信道估计的准确性。
例如,图2所示为一种采用configuration type 1的DMRS的导频图案的示意图。其中,当为DMRS配置一个符号时,图2中的(a)中两种图案的RE分别表示CDM group 0和CDM group 1所占RE,p0,p1,p2,p3分别表示DMRS端口索引。其中,在同一个CDM group内,频域采用频域OCC来保证同一CDM group内的两个DMRS端口的DMRS序列正交。可以看出,当采用configuration type 1并且DMRS配置一个符号时,系统最大支持4层正交DMRS端口复用。
当为DMRS配置两个符号时,图2中的(b)中两种图案的RE分别表示CDM group 0和CDM group 1所占RE,p0,p1,...,p6,p7分别表示DMRS端口索引。其中,在同一个CDM group内,通过频域OCC(码长为2)以及时域OCC(码长为2)来保证同一CDM group内的4个DMRS端口的DMRS序列正交。可以看出,当采用configuration type 1并且DMRS配置二个符号时,系统最大支持8层正交DMRS端口复用。
再例如,图3所示为一种采用configuration type 2的DMRS的导频图案的示意图。其中,当为DNRS配置一个符号时,图3中的(a)中三种图案的RE分别表示CDM group 0、CDM group 1以及CDM group 2所占RE,p0,p1,...p4,p5分别表示DMRS端口索引。其中,在同一个CDM group内,频域采用频域OCC来保证同一CDM group内的两个DMRS端口的DMRS序列正交。可以看出,当采用configuration type 2并且DMRS配置一个符号时,系统最大支持6层正交DMRS端口复用。
当为DMRS配置两个符号时,图3中的(b)中三种图案的RE分布表示CDM group 0、CDM group 1以及CDM group 2所占RE,p0,p1,...p10,p11分布表示DMRS端口索引。其中,在同一个CDM group内,频域采用或频域OCC来保证同一CDM group内的四个DMRS端口的DMRS序列正交。可以看出,当采用configuration type 2并且DMRS配置二个符号时,系统最大支持12层正交DMRS端口复用。
以下结合示例,对本申请实施例所提供的技术方案进行介绍。本申请实施例所提供技术方案可应用于各类通信系统,例如采用NR技术、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE)技术或其他无线接入技术的通信系统。
示例性的,图4为应用本申请实施例所提供技术方案的一种网络架构的示意图。其中,该网络中可以包括:终端设备、无线接入通信网络(radio access network,RAN)或者接入通信网络(access network,AN)(RAN和AN统称为(R)AN),以及核心网(core network,CN)。
其中,终端设备可以是一种具有无线收发功能的设备。该终端设备可以有不同的名称,例如用户设备(user equipment,UE)、接入设备、终端单元、终端站、移动 站、移动台、远方站、远程终端、移动设备、无线通信设备、终端代理或终端装置等。终端设备可以被部署在陆地上,包括室内或室外、手持或车载;也可以被部署在水面上(如轮船等);还可以被部署在空中(例如飞机、气球和卫星上等)。终端设备包括具有无线通信功能的手持式设备、车载设备、可穿戴设备或者计算设备。例如,终端设备可以是手机(mobile phone)、平板电脑或带无线收发功能的电脑。终端设备还可以是虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)设备、增强现实(augmented reality,AR)设备、工业控制终端额无线终端、无人驾驶中的无线终端、远程医疗中的无线终端、智能电网中的无线终端、智慧城市(smart city)中的无线终端、智慧家庭(smart home)中的无线终端等。本申请实施例中,用于实现终端设备的功能的装置可以是终端设备,也可以是能够支持终端设备实现该功能的装置,例如芯片系统等。本申请中,芯片系统可以有芯片构成,也可以包括芯片和其他分立器件。
(R)AN中,主要包括接入网设备。接入网设备也可以称为基站。基站可以包括各种形式的基站。例如:宏基站,微基站(也称为小站),中继站,接入点等。具体可以为:是无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)中的接入点(access point,AP),全球移动通信系统(Global System for Mobile Communications,GSM)或码分多址接入(Code Division Multiple Access,CDMA)中的基站(Base Transceiver Station,BTS),也可以是宽带码分多址(Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,WCDMA)中的基站(NodeB,NB),还可以是LTE中的演进型基站(Evolved Node B,eNB或eNodeB),或者中继站或接入点,或者车载设备、可穿戴设备以及5G网络中的下一代节点B(The Next Generation Node B,gNB)或者未来演进的公用陆地移动网(Public Land Mobile Network,PLMN)网络中的基站等。
基站,通常包括基带单元(baseband unit,BBU)、射频拉远单元(remote radio unit,RRU)、天线、以及用于连接RRU和天线的馈线。其中,BBU用于负责信号调制。RRU用于负责射频处理。天线用于负责线缆上导行波和空气中空间波之间的转换。一方面,分布式基站大大缩短了RRU和天线之间馈线的长度,可以减少信号损耗,也可以降低馈线的成本。另一方面,RRU加天线比较小,可以随地安装,让网络规划更加灵活。除了RRU拉远之外,还可以把BBU全部都集中起来放置在中心机房(central office,CO),通过这种集中化的方式,可以极大减少基站机房数量,减少配套设备,特别是空调的能耗,可以减少大量的碳排放。此外,分散的BBU集中起来变成BBU基带池之后,可以统一管理和调度,资源调配更加灵活。这种模式下,所有的实体基站演变成了虚拟基站。所有的虚拟基站在BBU基带池中共享用户的数据收发、信道质量等信息,相互协作,使得联合调度得以实现。在一些部署中,基站可以包括集中式单元(centralized unit,CU)和分布式单元(distributed unit,DU)。基站还可以包括有源天线单元(active antenna unit,AAU)。CU实现基站的部分功能,DU实现基站的部分功能。比如,CU负责处理非实时协议和服务,实现无线资源控制(radio resource control,RRC),分组数据汇聚层协议(packet data convergence protocol,PDCP)层的功能。DU负责处理物理层协议和实时服务,实现无线链路控制(radio link control,简称RLC)、媒体接入控制(media access control,MAC)和物理(physical,PHY)层的功能。AAU实现部分物理层处理功能、射频处理及有源天线的相关功能。由于 RRC层的信息最终会变成PHY层的信息,或者,由PHY层的信息转变而来,因而,在这种架构下,高层信令,如RRC层信令或PDCP层信令,也可以认为是由DU发送的,或者,由DU+AAU发送的。可以理解的是,在本申请实施例中,接入网设备可以为包括CU节点、DU节点、AAU节点中一项或多项的设备。此外,CU可以划分为RAN中的网络设备,也可以将CU划分为核心网(core network,CN)中的网络设备,在此可以不做限制。
核心网包括多个核心网网元(或者称为网络功能网元),例如图4中,在第五代移动通信技术(5th-Generation,5G)系统中核心网包括:接入和移动管理(access and mobility management services,AMF)网元、会话管理功能(session management function,SMF)网元、PCF网元、用户面功能(user plane function,UPF)网元、应用层功能(application function,AF)网元、AUSF网元、以及UDM网元。
此外,核心网还可以包括一些图4中未示出的网元,例如:安全锚功能(security anchor function,SEAF)网元、认证凭证库以及处理功能(authentication credential repository and processing function,ARPF),本申请实施例在此不予赘述。
另外,在无线通信网络中,按照发送节点和接收节点种类的不同,可以将通信分为不同类型。例如,将网络设备向终端设备发送的信息称为下行(downlink,DL)通信;将终端设备向网络设备发送的信息称为上行(uplink,UL)通信。其中,网络设备具体可以指基站或核心网中能够与终端设备进行信息交互的网元。
如图5所示,为本申请实施例提供的一种通信系统的示意图。其中该通信系统中可以包括网络设备101以及与网络设备101连接的一个或多个终端设备102。其中,网络设备101具体可以为接入网设备,例如网络设备101可以是图4中(R)AN中的设备。一个或多个终端设备102可以为上述图4中的终端设备。
在图5所示通信系统中,在一个或多个终端设备102向网络设备101发送上行信息,或者网络设备101向一个或多个终端设备102发送下行信息的情况下,当网络配对的传输层数超出系统最大支持正交DMRS端口复用层数时,例如上行通信中,在configuration type 1下网络配对的传输层数超出8层或者在configuration type 2下网络配对的传输层数超出12层时,则无法保证所有DMRS端口的正交,导致DMRS端口之间引入层间干扰,进而使得DMRS信道估计性能下降。
为了解决上述技术问题,本申请提供一种通信方法,如图6所示,该方法包括:
S201、发送设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。
其中,当该通信方法应用于上行通信时,发送设备可以为图5中的终端设备102。当该通信方法应用于下行通信时,发送设备可以为图5中的网络设备101。
其中,第一时频资源是第二时频资源中的部分时频资源。第二时频资源为用于映射第二DMRS端口的第二DMRS的时频资源。其中,第一时频资源是第二时频资源中的部分时频资源,可以理解为第一时频资源包含在第二时频资源中并且第一时频资源没有与第二时频资源完全重叠,即第二时频资源中至少存在部分时频资源没有包含在第一时频资源中。
换句话讲,系统支持第一DMRS端口复用第二DMRS端口的部分时频资源,其中发送设备通过第一时频资源可以从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS,另外发送设备或 者除发送设备之外的其他设备可以通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS,相当于第一DMRS端口与第二DMRS端口复用了第一时频资源以便发送各自的DMRS,进而接收设备通过解析第二时频资源得到第二DMRS以及通过解析第二时频资源中的第一时频资源得到第一DMRS。
例如,若第二DMRS端口为采用configuration type 1配置的端口,并且为DMRS配置一个符号,则第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS所占用的第二时频资源可以表现为如图2中(a)中CDM group 0或CDM group 1所占RE。以第二DMRS端口为p0端口为例,第二时频资源包括图2中(a)中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE。当第二时频资源包括图2中(a)中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE时,则第一时频资源可以包括索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE中的部分RE。也就是说,发送设备或其他设备通过图2中(a)中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS时,发送设备可以通过上述部分RE从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS,即此时上述部分RE被第一DMRS端口和第二DMRS端口复用。
在一种实现方式中,上述方法中,第二时频资源所包含子载波个数是第一时频资源所包含子载波的个数的P倍,其中P为大于1的整数。在时域的一个OFDM符号上,第一时频资源包括:第二时频资源所包含的子载波中等间隔分布的子载波集合。其中,上述子载波集合中,相邻两个子载波之间间隔P-1个第二时频资源所包含的子载波。
继续上述示例,当第二时频资源包括图2中(a)中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE时,则第一时频资源可以包括索引为2、6、10的RE。此时索引为2、6、10的RE被第一DMRS端口和第二DMRS端口复用。
另外,以两个RB(即频域上连续24个子载波)为例,第二时频资源可以包括两个RB中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE,即第二时频资源共包括12个RE。第一时频资源可以包括两个RB中索引为2、6、10的RE,即第一时频资源共包括6个RE。
另外,上述方法中,第一DMRS的正交掩码(orthogonal cover code,OCC)与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交。也就是说,第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC的向量内积为0。
例如,当为DMRS配置一个符号,若第二DMRS占用索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE,第一DMRS占用索引为2、6、10的RE,则第二DMRS的OCC在索引为2、6、10的RE上的OCC与第一DMRS在索引为2、6、10的RE上的OCC的向量内积为0。
再例如,以两个RE(即频域上连续24个子载波)为例,当为DMRS配置一个符号,第二时频资源可以包括两个RE中索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE,即第二时频资源共包括12个RE。第一时频资源可以包括两个RE中索引为2、6、10的RE,即第一时频资源共包括6个RE,则第二DMRS的OCC在索引为2、6、10的6个RE上的OCC与第一DMRS在索引为2、6、10的6个RE上的OCC的向量内积为0。
通过使得第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交,可以避免第一DMRS端口与第二DMRS端口之间产生层间干扰。
在一种实现方式中,上述方法中,第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC进行循环移位后的结果相同。
由于对一个序列而言,该序列的循环移位结果与该序列正交,因此通过上述实现方式可以实现使第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交。
继续上述示例,若第二DMRS占用索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE,第一DMRS占用索引为2、6、10的RE,则通过将第二DMRS的OCC在索引为2、6、10的RE上的OCC进行循环移位,便可以得到第一DMRS的OCC。这样,得到的第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC在索引为2、6、10的RE上的OCC正交。
需要说明的是,在另一些实现方式中,也可以采用除循环移位之外的其他方式,使得第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交,对此本申请可以不做限制。
S202、接收设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口接收第一DMRS,通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口接收第二DMRS。
示例性的,当该通信方法应用于上行通信时,接收设备可以为图5中的网络设备101。当该通信方法应用于下行通信时,接收设备可以为图5中的终端设备102。
其中,第二DMRS可以是上述发送设备通过第二DMRS端口在第二时频资源上发出的,另外第二DMRS也可以是由除发送设备之外的其他设备通过第二DMRS端口在第二时频资源上发出的。对此本申请可以不做限制。
在本申请上述方法中,首先由于从第一DMRS端口进行传输的第一DMRS所占用的第一时频资源是第二时频资源中的部分时频资源,因此不需要单独为第一DMRS端口分配额外的时频资源开销。另外,由于第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC是正交的,因此可以避免第一DMRS端口与第二DMRS端口之间的干扰。进一步的,当第二DMRS端口为现有技术中configuration type 1下系统最大支持的8个正交DMRS端口中的一个或者configuration type 2下系统最大支持的12个正交DMRS端口中的一个的情况下,由于本申请中通过第一DMRS端口传输的第一DMRS的OCC能够与第二DMRS对应的OCC正交,因此不会对第二DMRS端口的信息传输产生干扰,从而可以达到在现有技术中configuration type 1下系统最大支持的8个正交DMRS端口或configuration type 2下系统最大支持的12个正交DMRS端口的基础上,增加新的正交DMRS端口的效果。从而避免因终端设备与网络设备之间的传输层数过多而导致DMRS端口之间的层间干扰的效果。
以下结合实例对本申请上述方法的具体实现过程进行说明。
为了便于理解,以下实例中,以发送设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS并且发送设备还通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS为例,进行说明。可以理解的是,在具体实现中,也可以由除发送设备之外的其他设备通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS,例如发送设备可以为终端设备(称为终端设备1),终端设备1通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS,另外还存在终端设备2通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS。也就是说,在具体实现中,在发送设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS的情况下,是否存在通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS的设备,以及通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS的设备是上述发送设 备还是其他设备,对此本申请可以不做限制。
第一步、发送设备通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS。
具体的,假设上行通信采用CP-OFDM波形,DMRS序列采用gold序列生成。则DMRS序列r(n)满足以下公式(1):

Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000023

Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000024
的取值由不同高层参数配置决定。
基于上述序列r(n),在将第二DMRS映射到RE上时,可利用以下公式(4)将上述序列r(n)映射到各RE上:
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000025
其中,
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000026
表示DMRS端口
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000027
在子载波索引为k并且OFDM符号索引为l的RE上的中间变量。公式(4)中当采用configuration type 1时k=4n+2k′+Δ,当采用configuration type 1时k=6n+k′+Δ。w f(k′)对应DMRS的频域OCC码,w t(l′)对应DMRS的时域OCC码,进而w f(k′)·w t(l′)即表示对应RE上DMRS的OCC码。w f(k′),w t(l′)以及Δ的取值可由预定义的配置信息确定。例如,可以参照3GPP TS 38.211第6.4.1.1.3节中对w f(k′),w t(l′)以及Δ取值的描述。示例性的,可以根据下表1确定configuration type 1下,w f(k′),w t(l′)以及Δ的取值:
表1
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000028
其中,
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000029
表示DMRS端口的索引。由上表1可以看出,在configuration type 1下CDM group 0所包含的4个DMRS端口{0,1,4,5}所用的OCC码分别为表中的0,1,4,5行对应的w f(k′),w t(l′)的值。w f(k′)对应频域的OCC码,码长为2;w t(l′)对应时域的OCC码,码长为2。当DMRS只配置一个OFDM符号时,可以理解为在一个CDM group内进行了OCC为2的频域扩频。当DMRS配置为两个OFDM符号时,每个CDM group占用两个OFDM符号,可以理解为在一个CDM group内进行了OCC码长为2的频域扩频以及OCC码长为2的时域扩频,联合起来看就相当于进行了OCC为4的时频域扩频。
基于上述方式,发送设备便可以将第二DMRS映射到对应的RE上,以便通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口发送第二DMRS。
第二步、发送设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。
示例性的,以上表1中CDM group 0所包含的4个端口为例,如图7所示,CDM group 0对应12个RE(频域子载波索引位置0,2,4,6,8,10,时域OFDM符号索引为2和3)。其中,图7中纵轴为频域位置索引,横轴为时域OFDM符号索引。可以将这12个RE分为3组,每组包括4个RE(包括频域上临近的2个RE和时域上临近的2个RE)。如图所示,当DMRS配置为两个OFDM符号时,第一组RE的子载波索引为0和2,第二组RE的子载波索引为4和6,第三组RE的子载波索引为8和10。每一组RE中四个DMRS端口对应的OCC包括{1,1,1,1}、{1,-1,1,-1}、{1,1,-1,-1}、{1,-1,-1,1}四种。例如,图7中第一组RE中,DMRS端口0在RE a、RE b、RE c、RE d的OCC分别为{1,1,1,1};DMRS端口1在RE a、RE b、RE c、RE d的OCC分别为{1,-1,1,-1};DMRS端口4在RE a、RE b、RE c、RE d的OCC分别为{1,1,-1,-1};DMRS端口3在RE a、RE b、RE c、RE d的OCC分别为{1,-1,-1,1},第二组RE和第三组RE同理。
此外,若只看时域OFDM符号索引为2上的子载波,CDM group 0所对应的RE(以1个RB为例,RE索引为0、2、4、6、8、10)。在索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE上,DMRS端口0和DMRS端口4的OCC为{1,1,1,1,1,1},DMRS端口1和DMRS端口5的OCC为{1,-1,1,-1,1,-1}。
基于上述公式(4)以及表1的描述,假设DMRS采用configuration type 1,并且第二DMRS端口为上述表1中的DMRS端口0。则在一个RB中第二DMRS占用索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE。以图7为例,在图7中OFDM符号索引为2和RE索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE上,第二DMRS的OCC为{1,1,1,1,1,1}。当有两个RB(即连续24个子载波)时,则对应第二DMRS的OCC如下表2所示为{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}。
表2
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000030
另外,如表2所示,若第一DMRS所占用RE为第二DMRS所占用索引为0、2、4、6、8、10的RE中索引为2、6、10的RE。则由上文可知,第一DMRS在索引为2、6、10的RE的OCC需要满足与第二DMRS在索引为2、6、10的RE的OCC正交。
例如,表2中第二DMRS在与第一DMRS重叠的6个RE上,所对应的OCC为:
s 2(m)={1,1,1,1,1,1};
另外,上述表1中的DMRS端口1在与第一DMRS重叠的6个RE上,所对应的OCC为:
s’={-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1};
此外,第一DMRS的OCC可以用以下公式表示:
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000031
其中,m表示DMRS对应的RE的相对索引,也可以理解为第一DMRS与第二DMRS重叠的RE上的OCC中的第m项。可以看出上述s 1(m)可以看成s 2(m)的循环移位的结果。当
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000032
中ω=0时,即为s 2(m);当ω=1,2,3,4,5时,可以保证s 1(m)分别与s 2(m)、s’都是正交的。即第一DMRS端口不会与上述DMRS端口0、DMRS端口1存在干扰。
在确定第一DMRS的OCC后,发送设备便可以通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。
第三步、接收设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口接收第一DMRS,通过第二时频资源从第二DMRS端口接收第二DMRS。
其中,接收设备可以先解调出第一时频资源上的第一DMRS,以便根据第一DMRS对第一DMRS端口进行信道估计。然后再减去第一DMRS的干扰后,再解调出第二时频资源上的第二DMRS,以对第二DMRS端口进行信道估计。
具体的,接收设备解调第一DMRS和解调第二DMRS事,可按照与上述第一步、第二步相同的原理,进行反向处理,便可以从第一时频资源中获取第一DMRS并从第二时频资源中获取第二DMRS。对此本申请可以不做限制。
在一种实现方式中,当第二时频资源所包含子载波个数是第一时频资源所包括子载波的个数的P倍,并且P为2时,则第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC,满足以下公式(5):
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000033
其中,s 1(m)表示第一DMRS的OCC中的第m项,s 2(m)表示第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC中的第m项;M表示承载第二时频资源的资源块RB中用于通过循环移位确定第一DMRS的OCC的第二DMRS所对应的RB的个数,M为2的倍数;ω 1表示第一DMRS的相移因子。示例性的,当M为2时,ω 1可以为1,2,3,4,5中任一项。
以下介绍三种将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上的方式:
方式一:当DMRS配置为configuration type 1,第二DMRS端口为上述表1中的DMRS端口时,可以利用以下公式(6)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上:

其中,

即表示对应RE上第一DMRS的OCC码。其中,m=0时,所在的RB为分配给发送设备的M个RB中所有最小的RB(即第一个RB)。
其中,w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ以及ω的取值可由预定义的配置信息确定。示例性的,可以将上文表1更新为下表3。根据下表3可以确定configuration type 1下,第一DMRS端口对应的w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ以及ω的取值:
表3
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000040
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000041
在表3中,当被分配的DMRS端口为表中DMRS端口0-7时,通过查表可以得到该DMRS端口的w f(k′),w t(l′)以及Δ,进而利用上文公式(4)将DMRS序列映射到各RE中。此时,DMRS端口0-7的OCC与相移因子ω无关,即DMRS端口0-7不适用ω,因此,表3中DMRS端口0-7对应的ω为N/A。当被分配的DMRS端口为表中DMRS端口8-15时,通过查表可以得到该DMRS端口的w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ以及ω,进而利用上文公式(6)将DMRS序列映射到各RE中。另外,需要说明的是,表3中仅示例性的以ω的取值为2或4为例进行说明,在一些场景中ω还可以取其它值,其取值范围可为0<ω<3M的正整数。
示例性的,若第二DMRS端口为DMRS端口0(即
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000042
),第一DMRS端口为DMRS端口8(即

),则第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC如上表2所示,进而可以看出第一DMRS的OCC,与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC进行循环移位后的结果相同。
由表3可以看出,DMRS端口8和DMRS端口9的OCC分别为对DMRS端口0的OCC进行循环移位(相移因子ω分别为2或4)得到的两个正交的DMRS端口。DMRS端口12和DMRS端口13的OCC分别为对DMRS端口0的OCC进行循环移位(相移因子ω分别为2或4)得到的两个正交的DMRS端口。DMRS端口10和DMRS端口11的OCC分别为对DMRS端口2的OCC进行循环移位(相移因子ω分别为2或4)得到的两个正交的DMRS端口。DMRS端口14和DMRS端口15的OCC分别为对DMRS端口6的OCC进行循环移位(相移因子ω分别为2或4)得到的两个正交的DMRS端口。也就是说,此时总共可支持16个DMRS端口正交,相比表1中的8个DMRS端口,新增了8个DMRS端口。如果对一个DMRS端口的OCC进行循环移位时,分别取四种相移因子(例如ω=1,2,4,5),则总共可支持24个DMRS端口正交。
也就是说,上述方式一可以理解为是通过预定义的配置信息(如表3)中第一DMRS端口对应的相移因子ω值来确定第一DMRS的OCC。
方式二:当DMRS配置为configuration type 1,第二DMRS端口为上述表1中的DMRS端口时,可以利用以下公式(7)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上:

即表示对应RE上第一DMRS的OCC码。其中,m=0时,所在的RB为分配给发送设备的M个RB中所有最小的RB(即第一个RB)。偏移位置c用于表征第一时频资源在第二时频资源上的位置。
其中,ω为常数且0<ω<3M,例如ω可以取1,2,3,4,5中任一项。另外,w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ以及ω的取值可由预定义的配置信息确定。示例性的,可以将上文表1更新为下表4。根据下表4可以确定configuration type 1下,w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ以及ω的取值:
表4
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000050
其中,DMRS端口0-7的OCC与偏移位置c以及相移因子ω无关,即DMRS端口0-7不适用c以及ω,因此,表3中DMRS端口0-7对应的c以及ω为N/A。
也就是说,上述方式二可以理解为是通过预定义的配置信息(如表4)中第一DMRS端口对应的偏移位置c来确定第一DMRS的OCC。
方式三:与方式二类似,当DMRS配置为configuration type 1,第二DMRS端口为上述表1中的DMRS端口时,可以利用上文公式(7)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上。与方式二不同的是,方式三中ω的取值需要预定义的配置信息来确定。示例性的,可以将上文表1更新为下表5。根据下表5可以确定configuration  type 1下,w f(k′),w t(l′)、Δ、ω以及c的取值:
表5
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000051
其中,DMRS端口0-7的OCC与偏移位置c无关,即DMRS端口0-7不适用c,因此,表3中DMRS端口0-7对应的c为N/A。另外,需要说明的是,表5中仅示例性的以ω的取值为2或4为例进行说明,在一些场景中ω还可以取其它值,其取值范围可为0<ω<3M的正整数。
也就是说,上述方式二可以理解为是通过预定义的配置信息(如表5)中第一DMRS端口对应的偏移位置c以及第一DMRS端口对应的相移因子ω值来确定第一DMRS的OCC。
在一种实现方式中,如图8所示,本申请所提供方法还包括:
S203、接收设备发送第一指示信息,以使发送设备接收第一指示信息。
其中,第一指示信息用于向发送设备指示发送设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。
具体的,第一指示信息具体用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项。另外,第一指示信息还可以用于指示第一DMRS的CDM group索引、第一DMRS的频域OCC(即w f(k′))、第一DMRS的时域OCC(即w t(l′))等参数。
例如,当发送设备为终端设备,接收设备为网络设备的情况下,通过网络设备向终端设备发送第一指示信息,以使得终端设备确定第一DMRS端口并通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。
以下对第一指示信息所指示内容,分为三种情况进行说明:
在第一种情况中,第一指示信息用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子。其中,第一DMRS的相移因子,用于表征第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC之间的相位差。
示例性的,以上文中采用方式一对将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各 RE上的方式为例,第一指示信息可以用于指示第一DMRS对应的相移因子ω的值。这样一来,在已知第一DMRS对应的ω值、第一DMRS的w f(k′)、第一DMRS的w t(l′)以及CDM group索引后,发送设备便可以利用上文公式(6)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上。
在第二种情况中,第一指示信息用于指示第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置。
示例性的,以上文中采用方式二对将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上的方式为例,第一指示信息可以用于指示第一DMRS对应的偏移位置c。这样一来,在已知第一DMRS对应的偏移位置c、第一DMRS的w f(k′)、第一DMRS的w t(l′)以及CDM group索引后,由于ω可以为常数,因此发送设备便可以利用上文公式(7)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上。
在第三种情况中,第一指示信息用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子和第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置。
示例性的,以上文中采用方式三对将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上的方式为例,第一指示信息可以用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子和第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置。这样一来,在已知第一DMRS对应的ω值、第一DMRS对应的偏移位置c、第一DMRS的w f(k′)、第一DMRS的w t(l′)以及CDM group索引后,发送设备便可以利用上文公式(7)将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上。
在一种可能的设计中,上述第一指示信息中包括用于指示第一DMRS端口的端口索引的第一信息。进而,该方法还包括:发送设备根据第一指示信息中的第一信息,确定第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项。
也就是说,在上述设计中,通过接收设备向发送设备发送包括第一信息的第一指示信息。从而发送设备可以根据第一信息确定确定第一DMRS端口的端口索引,进而根据第一DMRS端口的端口索引确定第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项,例如,在发送设备中存储有上述表3或表4或表5,进而发送设备在确定第一DMRS端口索引后便可以通过查表确定第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置。然后发送设备便可以根据第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项,将第一DMRS端口的DMRS序列r(n)映射到各RE上,即通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口发送第一DMRS。从而达到第一指示信息具体用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项的效果。
示例性的,第一指示信息可以为下行控制指示(downlink control indicator,DCI)。即可以在接收设备向发送设备发送的DCI中指示第一DMRS端口索引。
示例一,当发送设备的DMRS端口的秩(rank)为1时,可以利用下表6确定DCI中表征第一指示信息的字段的值(value):
表6
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000052
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000053
其中,表6中,第一列(value)表示DCI中表征第一指示信息的字段的值;第二列(CDM group个数)表示当前配置的CDM group个数(number of DMRS CDM group(s)without data);第三列(DMRS端口索引)表示为发送设备分配的DMRS端口的端口索引;第四列(前置的DMRS符号个数)表示当前系统配置的前置的DMRS符号个数。
其中,value14-21可以用于指示上文表3或表4或表5中的DMRS端口8-15,即可以用于指示第一DMRS端口。
另外,若按照表6所示方式在DCI中传输上述第一指示信息,则需要占用DCI中5bit。当单独利用一张表指示上文表3或表4或表5中的DMRS端口8-15(下文中简称“DMRS端口8-15”)时,如表7所示:
表7
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000054
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000055
可以看出,若按照表7所示方式在DCI中传输上述第一指示信息,则需要占用DCI中3bit。
示例二,当发送设备的DMRS端口的秩(rank)为2时,可以利用下表8确定DCI中表征第一指示信息的字段的值(value):
表8
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000056
其中,value10-15可以用于指示给发送设备配置的DMRS端中包括DMRS端口8-15,即value10-15可以用于指示第一DMRS端口。
另外,若按照表8所示方式在DCI中传输上述第一指示信息,则需要占用DCI中4bit。当单独利用一张表,用于指示包括DMRS端口8-15的指示时,如表9所示:
表9
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000057
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000058
可以看出,若按照表9所示方式在DCI中传输上述第一指示信息,则需要占用DCI中3bit。另外,也可以只指示其中部分value,例如只指示表9中value0-3,此时只需要2bit来指示。
示例三,当发送设备的DMRS端口的秩(rank)为3时,可以利用下表10确定DCI中表征第一指示信息的字段的值(value):
表10
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000059
其中,value3和value3可以用于指示给发送设备配置的DMRS端中包括DMRS端口8-15。
另外,也可以考虑其他的端口组合,例如表11所示:
表11
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000060
另外,还可以单独利用一张表,用于在DCI中传输包括DMRS端口8-15的指示,如表12所示:
表12
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000061
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000062
示例四,当发送设备的DMRS端口的秩(rank)为4时,可以利用下表13确定DCI中表征第一指示信息的字段的值(value):

另外,还可以单独利用一张表,用于在DCI中传输包括DMRS端口8-15的指示,如表14所示:
表14
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000064
可以看出,若按照表13所示方式在DCI中传输上述第一指示信息,则需要占用DCI中2bit。
在另一种实现方式中,如图9所示,本申请所提供方法还包括:
S204、发送设备向接收设备发送第二指示信息。
其中,第二指示信息用于指示接收设备通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口接收第一DMRS。
具体的,第二指示信息具体用于指示第一DMRS的相移因子或第一时频资源在第二时频资源中的位置中至少一项。
例如,当发送设备为网络设备,接收设备为终端设备的情况下,通过网络设备向终端设备发送第二指示信息,以使得终端设备确定第一DMRS端口并通过第一时频资源从第一DMRS端口接收第一DMRS。
其中,第二指示信息的所指示内容的具体实现方式,可参照上文S203中对第一指示信息所指示内容的说明,在此不再赘述。
以下对发送设备通过多个DMRS端口分别向接收设备发送DMRS时,本申请所提供方法的实现过程进行介绍。需要说明的是,以下介绍中主要以发送设备通过三个DMRS端口分别向接收设备发送DMRS的实现过程进行介绍,可以理解的是相关描述也可应用于发送设备通过四个或四个以上DMRS端口分别向接收设备发送DMRS的实现过程:
在一种实现方式中,如图10所示,该方法还包括:
S205、发送设备通过第一时频资源从第三DMRS端口发送第三DMRS。
进而,接收设备可以通过第一时频资源从第三DMRS端口接收第三DMRS。
其中,第三DMRS的正交掩码OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交。
在一种可能的设计中,当第一DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC,满足
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000065
(即上文公式(5))的情况下,第三DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC,满足以下公式(7):
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000066
其中,s 3(m)表示第三DMRS的OCC中的第m项,s 2(m)表示第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC中的第m项;M表示承载第二时频资源的RB中用于通过循环移位确定第一DMRS的OCC的第二DMRS所对应的RB的个数,M为2的倍数;ω 2表示第三DMRS的相移因子,ω 1与ω 2不同。
上述实现方式中,考虑到当采用通过对特定DMRS端口(即第二DMRS端口)的DMRS(即第二DMRS)的OCC进行循环移位,来得到另一DMRS端口(即第一DMRS端口)的DMRS(即第一DMRS)的OCC的情况下,可以通过采用不同相移因子ω,得到多种不同的OCC。这些多种不同的OCC所对应的DMRS的OCC,都可以与原特定DMRS端口的DMRS的OCC保持正交。因此,通过上述实现方式可以在第一DMRS端口以及第二DMRS端口复用的第一时频资源上,传输不对第一DMRS端口和第二DMRS端口产生干扰的第三DMRS。从而达到不增加分配给DMRS的时频资源开销的情况下,进一步增加系统所支持的正交DMRS端口的数量。
在另一种实现方式中,如图11所示,该方法还可以包括:
S206、发送设备通过第三时频资源从第四DMRS端口发送第四DMRS。
其中,第三时频资源包含于第二时频资源,第三时频资源与第一时频资源不重叠。第四DMRS的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第三时频资源对应的OCC正交。
也就是说,本申请所提供方法中,还可以由第四DMRS端口复用第二DMRS端口的第二时频资源中除第一时频资源之外的部分时频资源(即第三时频资源),从而进一步增加系统支持的正交DMRS端口的个数。
具体的,其中第四DMRS的的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第三时频资源对应的OCC正交的具体实现方式,可以参照上文中第一DMRS的的OCC与第二DMRS的OCC中第一时频资源对应的OCC正交的相应描述,在此不再赘述。
在一种可能的设计中,第二时频资源所包含子载波个数是第三时频资源所包含子载波个数的P倍,P为大于1的整数。在时域的一个OFDM符号上,第三时频资源包括:第二时频资源包含的子载波中等间隔分布的子载波集合。其中,子载波集合中相邻两个子载波之间间隔P个第二时频资源所包含的子载波。
示例性的,第二DMRS端口可以为上述表4中的DMRS端口0,第一DMRS可以为上述表4中的DMRS端口8,第四DMRS可以为上述表4中的DMRS端口9。以两个RB(即连续24个子载波)为例,则第二DMRS的OCC、第一DMRS的OCC、第四DMRS的OCC在两个RB上各RE的值如下表15所示:
表15
Figure PCTCN2020111923-appb-000067
上述实现方式中,通过在第二时频资源中除第一时频资源之外的第三时频资源上传输不对第一DMRS端口和第二DMRS端口产生干扰的第四DMRS端口的第四DMRS。从而达到不增加分配给DMRS的时频资源开销的情况下,进一步增加系统所支持的正交DMRS端口的数量。
