Pilot multiplexing method for D2D communication system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of D2D communication, in particular to a pilot frequency multiplexing method for a D2D communication system.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid increase of wireless services and the increasing shortage of spectrum resources, D2D (Device-to-Device) communication technology can greatly improve the spectrum utilization of the system, so it is proposed to be adopted in the fifth generation mobile communication system. D2D communication allows neighboring users to communicate directly without going through a base station, and D2D users can reuse the frequency resources of cellular users. Therefore, the D2D communication has the advantages of improving the utilization rate of the frequency band, reducing the transmission delay and reducing the energy consumption.
In a cellular and D2D hybrid communication system, cellular users typically have higher priority, and the number of cellular users is typically less than the number of D2D pairs. Therefore, it can be assumed that cellular users use mutually orthogonal pilot sequences for channel estimation in a single cell scenario. In order to reduce the length of the pilot sequence, there is pilot multiplexing between D2D users, i.e. the number of pilot sets available to D2D users is less than the number of D2D pairs. In order to reduce the channel estimation error of D2D users, a method capable of effectively reducing the pilot pollution among D2D users is needed.
The patent provides a method for multiplexing pilot frequency in a cellular and D2D hybrid communication system, which can effectively reduce the problem of pilot frequency interference between D2D pairs.
