Modulation scheme for the downlink transmission in 3GPP LTE includes QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM.Base station One of above-mentioned modulation scheme is selected based on downlink channel status, and uses down link control information (DCI) Selected modulation scheme is notified to terminal.

Fig. 1 is the table for showing the relationship in order of modulation, MCS index and TBS index.

MCS index has 5 and is comprised in DCI.Three kinds of modulator approaches that MCS index notifies UE as shown in Figure 1 Among one be used to send.With reference to Fig. 1, it is initial that MCS index #0 to #28 is used to indicate hybrid automatic repeat-request (HARQ) It sends, and MCS#29 to #31 is used to indicate HARQ repeating transmission and send.

It is sent more specifically, MCS index #0 to #9 is used to indicate QPSK modulator approach for DL data, MCS index #10 It is used to indicate 16QAM modulator approach to #16 to send for DL data, and MCS index #17 to #28 is used to indicate 64QAM modulation Method is sent for DL data.

Multiple MCS indexes indicate identical modulator approach as described above.Each MCS concordance list registration evidence can lead to It crosses using the coded word of different coding rate and sends.When channel status is good, BS increases band by using high MCS index Wide efficiency.On the contrary, when channel status is poor, BS Robust Transmission is executed by using low MCS index so as to overcome compared with The channel status of difference.That is, MCS can be adjusted according to channel status.Such operation can referred to as " link be adaptive It answers ".In other words, link circuit self-adapting, which refers to by compensating the characteristics of radio channels changed depending on the time, adjusts MCS index To operate system processing speed maximumlly.

As described, MCS index #0 to #28 is used to indicate HARQ and initially sends, and MCS index #29, #30 and #31 One of modulator approach (for example, QPSK modulation, 16QAM modulation and 64QAM modulation) is used to indicate to send for HARQ repeating transmission. For example, MCS index #29 instruction QPSK modulation has been used to HARQ repeating transmission and send, MCS index #30 instruction 16QAM modulation is had been used to HARQ repeating transmission is sent, and MCS index #31 instruction 64QAM modulation has been used to HARQ repeating transmission and send.

Fig. 2 is the figure for showing CQI block error rate (BLER) performance.Fig. 3 is typical CQI concordance list.

UE needs channel state feedback returning BS, and BS is allowed to execute link circuit self-adapting according to the channel status of UE. Such feedback information about channel status is referred to as " channel state information (CSI) ".CSI includes precoding matrix indicators (PMI), sequencing indicator (RI) and channel quality indicator (CQI).Here, PMI and RI is and multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) Relevant CSI is transmitted, and CQI instruction modulator approach, code rate (that is, code rate * 1024) and transmitting efficiency are (that is, effect Rate=order of modulation * code rate), can according to the channel status of UE as shown in Figure 3 come using.When channel status is good When, the CQI index for indicating high transmitting efficiency is fed back to BS by UE.On the contrary, UE will indicate low transmission when channel status is not good The CQI index of efficiency feeds back to BS.

Typical CQI feedback information has 4 sizes.Typical CQI feedback information indicates 16 kinds of transmitting efficiencies.Fig. 2 shows Meet the performance of the CQI of the SNR value comparison diagram 3 of the needs of 10% BLER for transmitting efficiency.In experimental situation, adding Single transmission antenna and two receiving antennas are considered in property white Gauss noise (AWGN) channel circumstance.In Fig. 2, typical CQI The range for having SNR in need in 10% BLER sends effect from about -10dB to 17dB, and for each CQI index Rate is configured such that the gap between SNR is uniformly equal to about 1.9dB.

Fig. 4 is the mapping table for including typical case CQI concordance list, MCS and TBS.

BS identifies the CQI that receives from UE, and determines based on the CQI identified the stock number of UE to be assigned to and want It is used to be sent to the MCS of UE.At this point, above-mentioned CQI shown in above-mentioned MCS and Fig. 3 shown in Fig. 1 has as shown in Fig. 4 Relationship out.

With reference to Fig. 4, MCS index 0,2,4,6,8,11,13,15,18,20,22,24,26 and 28, which can be configured as, to be had It is identical with the transmitting efficiency of CQI index #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14 and #15 respectively Transmitting efficiency.In addition, the MCS index being located between two continuous CQI indexes, which is configured with two CQI indexes, sends effect Intermediate transmitting efficiency value between the transmitting efficiency value of rate.

However, MCS index 9 and 10 is configured with phase in the case where order of modulation is changed to 16QAM from QPSK Same transmitting efficiency.MCS index 16 and 17 is also arranged as tool in the case where order of modulation is changed to 64QAM from 16QAM There is identical transmitting efficiency.In addition, such MCS index be configured in the case where order of modulation is changed it is identical TBS index.Therefore, identical TBS is sent by same amount of transmission resource.

BS identifies channel status by the CQI that receives from UE, and with reference to the channel status identified come select will quilt Distribute to the size MCS that sends resource related to be used for of the transmission resource of UE.At this point, really to the code rate of MCS Surely it is equal to the determination to TBS, TBS is will be by the related size for sending the information bit that resource is sent.

The present disclosure presents a kind of method and apparatus for sending and receiving CSI, CSI is added in 256QAM Three kinds of modulator approaches of typical case of such as QPSK, 16QAM and 64QAM are to be sent to base from UE when increasing transmitted traffic and speed It stands.In addition, specifically, present disclosure proposes a kind of method and apparatus for configuring the CQI for including in CSI.
