step S103, the sender modulates the data obtained after coding according to a preset modulation mode;
step S105, the sender carries out precoding processing on the modulated data according to a preset precoding scheme;
step S107, the sender repeatedly processes the data of each transmitting antenna after the precoding, wherein the times of the repeated processing, the coding rate and the modulation order of the modulation mode are determined by the resource mapping length of the physical control format indication channel and the length indicated by the physical control format;
step S109, for each transmitting antenna, the transmitting side maps the reference signal and the data obtained after the repeated processing to the physical resource block of the transmitting antenna according to the resource mapping scheme of the predetermined physical control format indication channel, and transmits the mapped data and reference signal;
step S111, each receiving antenna of the receiving party performs resource extraction of the physical control format indication channel on the received data and the reference signal according to a predetermined resource mapping scheme of the physical control format indication channel;
step S113, each receiving antenna calculates the space channel vector from the service base station to which the receiving party belongs and the interference base station to the receiving party according to the reference signal obtained by extracting the resource of the physical control format indication channel, and obtains the space channel matrix of the physical control format indication channel according to the space channel vectors from the service base station and the interference base station to all or part of the receiving antennas of the receiving party;
step S115, a receiver constructs an interference elimination matrix of the physical control format indication channel based on a preset precoding scheme according to a spatial channel matrix of the physical control format indication channel, wherein the interference elimination matrix of the physical control format indication channel is obtained by modeling according to the characteristics of the preset precoding scheme, a transmitting antenna, a receiving antenna, repeated processing, a service base station and an interference base station;
step S117, the receiving side cancels the data sent by the interfering base station according to the interference cancellation matrix of the physical control format indication channel and the predetermined detection criterion, and obtains the physical control format indication according to the predetermined modulation mode and the inverse processing of the simplex code encoding processing.
By means of the processing, the interference of other base stations on a physical control format indication channel of a service base station can be effectively eliminated by encoding, modulating, precoding, repeatedly processing and sending the physical control format indication and constructing an interference elimination matrix based on a precoding scheme at a receiving party, so that the receiving party can correctly detect and obtain the physical control format indication, and the problem that the physical control format indication cannot be correctly detected due to the interference is avoided.
When a spatial channel matrix of a physical control format indication channel is obtained according to spatial channel vectors of all or part of receiving antennas from a service base station and an interference base station to a receiving party, each receiving antenna separates and estimates reference signals of the service base station and the interference base station, which are obtained by extracting resources of the physical control format indication channel, so as to obtain physical channels from all transmitting antennas to the receiving antenna of the receiving party, and the estimated physical channels are arranged according to a repeated processing mode to form the spatial channel vectors corresponding to the receiving antennas; the receiving side arranges all or part of the space channel vectors corresponding to the receiving antennas according to the serial numbers of the receiving antennas to form a space channel matrix of the physical control format indication channel.
Before mapping the reference signal and the data obtained after the repeated processing to the physical resource block of the transmitting antenna, interleaving the data after the repeated processing in advance according to a preset interleaving scheme, and taking the interleaved data as the data to be mapped; and, the resource extraction of the physical control format indicator channel for the data and the reference signal respectively received by each receiving antenna according to the resource mapping scheme of the predetermined physical control format indicator channel comprises: the receiving party extracts the resources of the received data and inversely interleaves the data extracted by the resources according to a preset interleaving scheme;
and, before the receiving side arranges the physical channels estimated by each receiving antenna according to the repetitive processing manner, the method further comprises: the estimated physical channel is de-interleaved according to a predetermined interleaving scheme.
In addition, the spatial channel matrix is formed by spatial channel vectors transmitted from all transmit antennas of the transmitting side to all or a part of the receive antennas. For example, assuming that the number of the transmitting antennas and the number of the receiving antennas are 4, each of the 4 receiving antennas can obtain spatial channel vectors from all 4 transmitting antennas, and the formed spatial channel matrix may include all spatial channel vectors obtained by all receiving antennas, or may include all spatial channel vectors obtained by some receiving antennas (for example, all spatial channel vectors obtained by only 2 receiving antennas of the 4 receiving antennas may be selected to form the spatial channel matrix).
In addition, when constructing the interference elimination matrix based on the predetermined precoding scheme, the dimension of the interference elimination matrix of the physical control format indicator channel can be determined according to the predetermined precoding scheme, the number of transmitting antennas of the transmitting party, the number of receiving antennas of the receiving party, the number of times of repeated processing on the data after precoding processing, and the number of interfering base stations; and

In addition, the first dimension number may be a column number of the interference cancellation matrix, and in this case, the second dimension number is a row number of the interference cancellation matrix.
Optionally, the number N of times of the repeated processing, the coding rate R, the modulation order M of the modulation scheme, the resource mapping length O of the physical control format indication channel, and the length I of the physical control format indication satisfy the following conditions:that is, under the condition that O and I are known, the values of N, R and M can be selected according to the formula, so as to ensure that the resource mapping length of the mapped physical control format indicator channel conforms to the requirement of the LTE communication system. In addition, if the O is too large and exceeds the system requirement, the data obtained after repeated processing can be intercepted and then mapped; if O is too small to meet the system requirement, the data obtained after the repeat processing may be supplemented (for example, "0" may be supplemented to the data obtained after the repeat processing), and then the mapping may be performed.
In addition, in order to ensure the effect of interference cancellation, the number N of times of repeated processing on the data after precoding processing can be predetermined according to the number of the interfering base stations, where N is greater than or equal to B +1, and B is the number of the interfering base stations.
In order to effectively ensure the effect of the above processing to eliminate inter-cell interference, when mapping the reference signal and the data obtained after repeated processing to the physical resource block of the transmitting antenna, the serving base station and the interfering base station should use the same resource mapping length of the physical control format indicator channel, that is, the mapping positions of the physical control format indicator channels of the serving base station and the interfering base station are the same.
When the reference signal and the data obtained after the repeated processing are mapped to the physical resource block of the transmitting antenna, the data obtained after the repeated processing can be divided into four data groups; determining the frequency domain starting positions of the mapping required by the four data groups according to the following formula:

in particular, an interference cancellation matrix is constructedThen, the dimensionality of an interference elimination matrix can be determined according to a preset precoding scheme, the number of transmitting antennas of a transmitting party, the number of receiving antennas of a receiving party, the number of times of repeated processing on data subjected to precoding processing and the number of interference base stations; and for each channel element in the spatial channel matrix, determining a row sequence number of the channel element in the interference cancellation matrix according to the sequence number of the receiving antenna, the sequence number of the transmitting antenna, the sequence number of the repeated processing and a predetermined precoding scheme of the channel element, and determining a column sequence number of the channel element in the interference cancellation matrix according to the base station sequence number of the channel element, the sequence number of the transmitting antenna and the predetermined precoding scheme.
It should be noted that the interference cancellation matrix given hereAs a specific example only, the interference cancellation moment described aboveThe structure of the array is changed, and after the changed interference elimination matrix is used for subsequent processing, the purpose of reducing the cell edge interference can be achieved; in addition, on the premise of meeting the calculation requirement of eliminating the transmission data of the interference base station, the position change or position exchange can be carried out on part of channel elements in the interference elimination matrix, and correspondingly, the expressions of other parts in the received signal model can also be changed correspondingly; in addition, for 4-antenna transmission and reception and other cases with a large number of antennas, corresponding adjustment and change can be performed to obtain an interference cancellation matrix, and specific transformation modes are not listed in this document.
Suppose thatIs a known noise variance matrix that can be estimated using the MMSE estimation criterion
Wherein,for multiple receive antennas, the rows of the interference cancellation matrix may be expanded:
for the receiving end, if N is larger than or equal to K, the interference elimination matrix is a Full Rank (Full Rank) matrix, and N is the repetition times of the data block. The full rank of the interference cancellation matrix ensures that the estimate can be correctly based on different criteria
Desired signalAfter the processing such as de-layer mapping, QPSK demodulation, and decoding for the (3, 2) simplex code (i.e., the inverse processing of the processing such as scrambling, modulation, and encoding performed by the transmitting end), CFI information can be obtained, and the position of the control channel can be known according to the CFI.
The process of the reference signal mapping location reservation will be described below.
To achieve better interference cancellation at LTE PCFICH, the terminal needs to estimate the channel responses from multiple cells more accurately. In order to achieve reliability of multi-cell channel estimation, mapping location reservation may be performed on Reference Signals (RS). Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of mapping of PCFICH signals, reference signals, and service data signals in an LTE downlink slot, and fig. 5 shows distribution of the PCFICH signals, reference signals, and service data of 3 base stations. The PCFICH signals and the reference signals of the base stations 1, 2 and 3 are orthogonal in the frequency domain and do not interfere with each other. However, in a cell edge region, if users in different cells use the same spectrum resource, downlink data signals have serious mutual interference, and the users receive signals from different base stations in the same spectrum resource, at this time, a signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is usually lower than 0dB, and accordingly, PCFICH signals are also interfered by other control channels of other base stations, and reference signals are interfered by data signals from different base stations, thereby seriously reducing reliability of channel estimation. In order to improve the effect of interference cancellation, so that signals from different base stations can be demodulated correctly, the transmitting ends of neighboring base stations all need to use the above-mentioned transmission scheme (for example, the transmission schemes shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, and the specific process may refer to step S101 to step S109 of fig. 1), and the known positions to be mapped by reference signals of these interfering base stations are reserved, so as to ensure that users can separate the reference signals of different base stations for channel estimation. Therefore, the position of the reference signal shown in fig. 5 will not map the traffic data signal any more, thereby improving the effect of channel estimation and thus the effect of interference cancellation.
Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating a packet error rate comparison between a transmission scheme using the PCFICH according to the present embodiment and a transmission scheme using a conventional PCFICH in a cell edge strong interference environment. In fig. 6, the abscissa represents the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), i.e., the ratio of the signal to gaussian noise, and the ordinate represents the packet error rate (BLER). The SIR represents the power ratio between the serving base station and the two adjacent interfering base stations, and the SIR ═ 0dB represents that the power ratio between the serving base station and the two adjacent interfering base stations is 0dB, that is, the power of the three base stations is the same, which represents that strong interference exists in the current environment. The conditions on which the simulation is based are: LTE normal cyclic prefix, FDD duplex, ideal channel estimation. As can be seen from the simulation results shown in fig. 6, in the case of strong interference at the cell edge, if the conventional PCFICH transmission scheme is adopted, no matter in the single-antenna mode or the multi-antenna transmission diversity mode, as long as the PCFICH is interfered by other control channels from other base stations, the packet error rate is always maintained above 10%, and even if the signal-to-noise ratio is increased, the packet error rate curve still has no trend of decreasing, so that if the conventional PCFICH transmission scheme is adopted, a high-probability misjudgment may bring much overhead and delay to the system; however, if the PCFICH transmission scheme proposed in this embodiment is adopted, the packet error rate can be reduced to below 1% in both the single antenna mode and the multi-antenna transmission diversity mode, which can obviously eliminate the interference from other base stations, and reduce the system overhead and delay.
Fig. 7 is a diagram for comparing packet error rates of a transmission scheme using the PCFICH according to the present embodiment with a conventional PDCCH transmission scheme in a non-interference environment. The simulation conditions shown in fig. 7 are: as shown in fig. 7, in the case of no interference, if the PCFICH transmission scheme provided in this embodiment is adopted, the packet error rate is also close to the packet error rate when the conventional PCFICH transmission scheme is adopted in the single-antenna mode and the multi-antenna transmission diversity mode, that is, after the PCFICH scheme according to this embodiment is adopted, it can be effectively ensured that the performance of the cell center is not affected.
It should be noted that although the LTE system is described as an example, the present invention is not limited to this, and the foregoing processing of the present embodiment may also be adopted for the purpose of interference cancellation for channels in other communication systems (e.g., LTE-Advanced system, etc.) that transmit physical control format indications.
By means of the processing, the physical control format indication is coded, modulated, precoded, processed repeatedly and sent, and an interference elimination matrix based on a precoding scheme is constructed at a receiver, so that the interference of other base stations to a physical control format indication channel of a service base station can be effectively eliminated on the premise of not influencing the performance of a cell center and changing the original system as little as possible, the receiver can correctly detect and acquire the physical control format indication, the downlink control channel can be correctly detected, the problem that the physical control format indication cannot be correctly detected due to the interference is avoided, the data delay and the system overhead generated when the physical control format indication is retransmitted by the system are further avoided, and the FICPCH can still be correctly decoded by the receiver under the condition that the signal-to-interference ratio is lower than 0 dB.
According to the embodiment of the invention, a transmission system of the physical control format indication channel is also provided, and the system is used for realizing the transmission of at least one antenna and the reception of at least one antenna of the physical control format indication channel.
