摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a pilot signal transmitting method, and a channel estimation method, an apparatus, and a system. The method includes: within a transmission time interval TTI, transmitting a first pilot signal CPICH1 on a first antenna, and transmitting a second pilot signal CPICH2 on a second antenna; when no first-type terminal is scheduled within coverage of the MIMO system within the TTI, transmitting a third pilot signal CPICH3 on a third antenna, and transmitting a fourth pilot signal CPICH4 on a fourth antenna; and when a first-type terminal is scheduled within the coverage of the MIMO system within the TTI, transmitting the CPICH3 and a fifth pilot signal CPICH5 on the third antenna, and transmitting the CPICH4 and a sixth pilot signal CPICH6 on the fourth antenna. By using the method in the present invention, interference of a pilot signal to a legacy terminal can be greatly reduced, and while it is ensured that a first-type terminal can work well in a MIMO system, performance of the legacy terminal is also ensured, and power consumption for pilot transmitting can also be effectively reduced.

In the method and the apparatus according to embodiments of the present invention, a base station maps modulation symbols to resource elements, and sends precoded modulation symbols to a UE, so that the UE can use the reference signal frequency shift information and a mapping rule according to which the modulation symbols are mapped to the REs to complete data demodulation; and compared with an existing muting solution, in the method and the apparatus, all the REs can be used to complete data transmission, thereby avoiding waste of REs, and further improving throughput of service data, and improving spectrum efficiency of a system.
摘要:
A method of controlling downlink transmissions to a subscriber station capable of communicating with a base station of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) network. The method comprises the steps of: receiving a first pilot signal from a first base station antenna; receiving a second pilot signal from a second base station antenna; and estimating the channel between the base station and subscriber station based on the received first and second pilot signals. The method also comprises determining a set of OFDM symbol processing parameters based on the step of estimating the channel and transmitting the OFDM symbol processing parameters to the base station. The base station uses the OFDM symbol processing parameters to control the relative gains and the relative delays of OFDM symbols transmitted from the first and second antennas.
