Cross-Reference to Related Applications
This application claims and carry respectively on February 1st, 2008 and on February 4th, 2008 Hand over U.S. Provisional Application No.61/025,311 and No.61/026,119 and in January, 2009 Profit in the priority of the korean patent application No.10-2009-0007152 of Korea S's submission on the 29th Benefit.By way of reference the entire content that these are applied for is completely integrated in this.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of wireless protocols in mobile communication system, and more Body ground, relates to the MAC in a kind of Long Term Evolution (LTE) system and rlc layer uses limited wireless Resource sends the method for RLC STATUS PDU (RLC status PDU).
Background technology
Fig. 1 is the network architecture of Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, and LTE system is from existing The mobile communication system of the correlation technique having UMTS system evolution and come, and its basic mark Standardization is the most carried out.
LTE network can be divided into evolution UMTS grounding wireless access network network And core network (CN) (E-UTRAN).E-UMTS includes terminal (subscriber equipment;UE), base Stand (enode b;ENB) access network of the end of the network of external network to be connected to, it is positioned at Close (aGW).AGW can be divided into and processes the part of customer service and processing controls business Part.Here it is possible to use new interface to carry out in aGW and the use for processing customer service Communication between the aGW of processing controls business.One or more communities may reside in one In eNB.Can use between eNB for transmitting the interface of customer service or control business. CN can include aGW, for other UE user register node etc..Interface may be used for Identify E-UTRAN and CN.
Fig. 2 is at terminal and E-UTRAN based on 3GPP wireless access network standard Between Radio interface protocols control plane framework, and, Fig. 3 is to connect based on 3GPP is wireless Enter the framework of network standard Radio interface protocols user plane between terminal and E-UTRAN.
Hereinafter, will be described between terminal and E-UTRAN with reference to Fig. 2 and 3 The framework of Radio interface protocols.
Radio interface protocols has level course and has vertical plane, this level course bag Include physical layer, data link layer and Internet, and this vertical plane includes for transmitting number It is believed that the user plane of breath and for transmitting the control plane controlling signaling.Can be based in communication In system, three lower levels of known open system interconnection (OSI) master pattern are by these agreements Layer is divided into ground floor (L1), the second layer (L2) and third layer (L3).Such Radio interface protocols Can exist in pairs between terminal and E-UTRAN, be transmitted by the data of interface with management.
Hereinafter, by the radio protocol control plane described in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 Radio protocol user plane in each layer.
Ground floor as physics (PHY) layer uses physical channel to provide information to upper strata Transmission service.Physical layer is connected to be referred to as medium education (MAC) layer via transmission channel Its upper strata.MAC layer and physical layer exchange data via transmission channel.Here it is possible to according to Whether transmission channel is shared is divided into dedicated transmission channel and common transmission letter by transmission channel Road.Between different physical layers, i.e. transmit side physical layer and receive side physical layer it Between, transmit data via physical channel.
Various layers are present in the second layer.First, medium education (MAC) layer is used In Different Logic channel being mapped to different transmission channel, and also logical channels multiplexing with By some mapping logical channels to transmission channel.MAC layer is connected to via logic channel Layer wireless spread-spectrum technology (RLC) layer.Logic channel is divided into by the type according to information to be transmitted Controlling channel and believing for transmitting the business of user plane information of plane information is controlled for transmitting Road.
The segmentation of the data that the rlc layer management of the second layer receives from upper strata and cascade, Suitably to regulate size of data so that lower level can send data by interface.And, In order to ensure various service quality (QoS) requirement of each radio bearer (RB), rlc layer provides three Plant operator scheme, including transparent mode (TM), dont answer pattern (UM) and answer-mode (AM). Especially, with the rlc layer (hereinafter, being referred to as " AM rlc layer ") of AM pattern operation The repetition automatically transmitted for infallible data and request (ARQ) function is used to perform re-transmission.
It is positioned at PDCP (PDCP) layer of the second layer for relatively small Bandwidth the most effectively transmit such as IPv4 or IPv6 IP packet.To this end, PDCP layer reduces IP packet header that is relatively large in size and that include unnecessary control information Size, i.e. perform to be referred to as the function of header-compressed.Therefore, in the data for transmitting Header portion in can only include necessary information, in order to improve wave point transmission efficiency.
Be positioned at wireless heterogeneous networks (RRC) layer of the lowest portion of third layer only by Definition is in the control plane.Rrc layer control with the configuration of radio bearer (RB), reconfigure and Discharge relevant logic channel, transmission channel and physical channel.Here, RB represents by L2 layer Logical path for data transmission between the terminal and the utran is provided.Generally, RB Set up the protocol layer required for regulation offer special services is provided and the characteristic of channel and arrange Respective detail parameters and operational approach.RB is divided into signaling RB (SRB) and data RB(DRB).SRB is used as the path for transmitting RRC information in C plane, and DRB It is used as the path for transmitting user data in U plane.
Hereinafter, rlc layer be will be described in further detail.As it has been described above, rlc layer carries For Three models, such as TM, UM and AM.Rlc layer seldom performs function with TM, and And therefore at this, UM and AM will only be described.UM RLC adds to each PDU for transmitting Add protocol Data Unit (PDU) header including serial number (SN) so that receive side and be appreciated that Which PDU has been lost during transmission.Due to such function, in user plane, UM The RLC management such as voice in packet service territory (hereinafter, also referred to as PS territory) is (such as, VoIP) or the transmission of multi-medium data of streaming or the transmission of real time packet data, and control flat In face, the RRC information managing the particular terminal in being sent to community or specific group of terminals is worked as In need not receive the transmission of RRC information of response.
Similarly, AM RLC includes the PDU of SN when constructing PDU by interpolation Header constructs PDU.Different from UM RLC, receive side to by transmitting the PDU that side sends Carry out response.Receive side response so that request stresses to pass the PDU being unsuccessfully received from transmission. Such functions of retransmission is the most important characteristic of AM RLC.Therefore, AM RLC be intended to via Re-transmission guarantees faultless data transmission.Under this purpose, AM RLC generally puts down user Management unreal time packet data transmission, the such as TCP/IP in PS territory in face, and in the control plane Need to receive the RRC of response in the middle of the RRC information of management particular terminal in being sent to community The transmission of message.
From the point of view of the visual angle in direction, UM RLC is for one-way communication, and AM RLC Owing to being used for two-way communication from the feedback receiving side.From the point of view of the visual angle of structure, there is difference Different, i.e. UM RLC is configured so that a RLC entity performs to transmit or receive, and AM RLC is configured so that transmission side and reception side are present in a RLC entity.AM The complex configurations of RLC is owing to retransmitting.AM RLC includes in addition to transmitting/receive buffer For managing the re-transmission buffer of re-transmission.And, AM RLC performs various functions, such as makes With transmitting and receiving, window carries out flow control, poll transmits side to ask from the reception side of RLC entity Seek status information, send the state report of reception side with report to the side of transmitting of peer RLC entities Its buffer state, it is configured to the status PDU of sending state information, etc..AM RLC Also need to various protocol parameter, such as state variable and timer, in order to support these functions. For controlling the PDU (such as state report or status PDU) that the data in AM RLC transmit It is referred to as " controlling PDU ", and is referred to as " data PDU " for transmitting the PDU of user data.
RLC data PDU in AM RLC can be divided in detail AMD PDU and AMD PDU segmentation.AMD PDU segmentation has and is included in AMD PDU In the parts of data.In LTE system, when terminal sends data block, can change The largest amount of data block.Therefore, construct at special time at transmission side AM RLC entity 200 byte AMD PDU and after transferring constructed AMD PDU, when transmitting side AM RLC receives NACK from receiving side AM RLC and thus attempts retransmitting this AMD During PDU, if the largest amount of actual transmissible data block is 100 bytes, then cannot be former Sample sends identical AMD PDU.In this case, AMD PDU segmentation is used.AMD PDU segmentation represents corresponding AMD PDU is segmented into less unit.During this process, Transmit side AM RLC entity and AMD PDU is divided into AMD PDU segmentation and some Interval of individual delivery time is upper transmits AMD PDU segmentation.Then, side AM RLC entity is received AMD PDU is recovered from received AMD PDU segmentation.
The data received if there is not successfully (the most fully or the most correctly), then Receiving side AM RLC request and retransmit such data from transmitting side AM RLC, this is referred to as " shape State is reported ".The report of this state is sent as the status PDU controlling one of PDU by using.
Fig. 4 is the form of status PDU currently used in LTE system.At figure In 4, trunnion axis represents the length of the RLC status PDU with 8 (that is, 1 eight-bit group) Degree.
The each field of RLC status PDU be will now be described.
1. data/control (D/C) field: 1
This field indicates corresponding RLC PDU to be RLC data PDU or RLC Control PDU.
2. control PDU type (CPT) field: 3
The corresponding PDU that controls of this field instruction is any type.RLC controls PDU Currently only define status PDU.
3. response sequence number (ACK_SN)
Two kinds of ACK_SN will be defined as foloows.
1-1) ACK_SN of type-A does not include its information in status PDU The RLC SN of the oneth PDU.
1-2) upon receipt of status PDU, transmit side and determine that the success of reception side Have received until all PDU in the middle of the PDU of the PDU with ACK_SN-1, Except in the status PDU have NAC_SN instruction PDU or have NACK_SN, The part of the PDU of instruction in the status PDU of SOstart and SOend.
Such ACK_SN is applied to the enforcement of Fig. 6 according to the present invention and 8 Example.
2-1) another type of ACK_SN includes its information in status PDU The RLC SN of the oneth PDU.
2-2) upon receipt of status PDU, transmit side and determine that the success of reception side Have received until all PDU in the middle of the PDU of the PDU with ACK_SN, remove In the status PDU have NACK_SN instruction PDU or have NACK_SN, The part of the PDU of instruction in the status PDU of SOstart and SOend.
Such ACK_SN is applied to the enforcement of Fig. 7 according to the present invention and 9 Example.
4. extension 1 (E1): 1
Whether this instruction exists other after current NACK_SN element NACK_SN element (that is, utilize NACK_SN or utilize NACK_SN, SOstart and Indicated by SOend).
5.NACK_SN (negative response serial number)
This is the AMD PDU not successfully received or the RLC of AMD PDU segmentation SN。
5. extension 2 (E2): 1
This indicate whether the SOstart corresponding with current NACK_SN and SOend field.
6. grading excursion starts (SOstart) and grading excursion terminates (SOend)
Only when there is a part of PDU of NACK_SN (segmentation) and being NACK Just use these.First byte of this part is corresponding with SOstart and the last word of this part Save corresponding with SOend.
Meanwhile, receive side AM RLC and cannot always trigger status PDU, but can The most just to trigger state report.Such condition is referred to as " state report Accuse and trigger ", and currently used following two conditions of LTE system.
First condition is that poll transmits side.
It is to say, when needs are in time receiving side receiving state report, transmit side AM RLC arranges poll bit for RLC data PDU for transmitting.Then, side AM RLC is received RLC data PDU are set upon receipt of poll bit, just trigger state report.
Second condition is RLC data PDU that detection is not successfully received.
It is to say, after completing HARQ and reordering, once detect into RLC data PDU (that is, AMD PDU or AMD PDU segmentation) that merit receives, receive Side AM RLC just triggers state report.
It addition, when the report of the state of triggering, receive side AM RLC and use status PDU Reception buffer state is sent to transmitting side.Here, status PDU is included in from having reception window In the range of the PDU that the PDU (=VR (R)) to HARQ of the starting point of mouth has reordered The information of to the last PDU (=VR (MS)) in the middle of PDU.Here, VR (R) and VR (MS) table Show state variable, they can by receive side AM RLC manage and for receive window, State report etc..Inter alia, receive side AM RLC and manage additivity variable.
The such additivity variable receiving side AM RLC is described as follows.
-VR (R): receive state variable.
It is maintained at the last AMD PDU in the middle of the AMD PDU being received sequentially The value of the serial number (SN) of AMD PDU afterwards.
It receives receiving side AM RLC the most not fully (or successfully) An AMD PDU in the middle of AMD PDU.
It is used as to receive the lower limb of window.
It is initially set to 0.Have SN=VR's (R) when being properly received During AMD PDU, it is updated to the first AMD not being received entirely after AMD PDU The value of the SN of PDU.
-VR (MR): maximum acceptable reception state variable.
It is maintained at the AMD in the middle of the AMD PDU outside reception window The value of the SN of PDU.
It is used as to receive the top edge of window.
When updating VR (R), it is updated to such as VR (MR)=VR (R)+AM_Window_size.
-VR (X): T_reordering state variable
It is maintained at triggers as managing timer that HARQ reorders The value of the SN of RLC data PDU after RLC data PDU of T_reordering.
Receive side AM RLC once to connect under conditions of not triggering T_reordering Receive out-of-sequence RLC data PDU and just drive T_reordering, and VR (X) is arranged in The value of the SN of RLC data PDU after RLC data PDU.
-VR (MS): maximum rating transmits state variable
This state variable for by only with complete the RLC data that HARQ reorders Information relevant for PDU is included in status PDU.
It is initially set to 0, and is once properly received and has The AMD PDU of SN=VR (MS), is just updated to first after AMD PDU not by it The value of the SN of the AMD PDU being properly received.
-once T_reordering expire, then it is updated to more higher than VR (X) The value of the SN of the AMD PDU that first in the middle of AMD PDU is not properly received.Will ACK_SN is arranged to VR (MS) so that structural regime PDU.
-VR (H): the highest state variable received
It is maintained at and receives in the middle of RLC data PDU that side AM RLC receives The value of the just next SN of the highest SN, i.e. receive side AM RLC first and not successfully connect The value of the SN of RLC data PDU received.
It is initially set to 0, and upon receipt of than VR (H) higher RLC Data PDU, are just updated to RLC data PDU after RLC data PDU by it The value of SN.
Hereinafter, MAC layer the bgical channel priority order row performed will be described Row (LCP).
When several radio bearers (RB) are re-used and transmit on a transmission channel Time, it is relative that configuration LTE terminal makes its MAC layer be spaced (TTI) for each delivery time The amount of the transmission data for each RB is determined based on following rule in given Radio Resource.
1.MAC layer determines for the descending with each priority of logical channels (LCP) The amount of the transmission data of the RB of multiplexing, and it is then determined that with the row of being prioritized to of each RB The corresponding as many conveying capacity of data of Maximum Bit Rate (PBR) of row.
If 2. remaining any Radio Resource, then MAC layer determines for each The amount of the transmission data of the RB of the descending multiplexing of LCP.
Here, it has been currently discussed 1 to 8 LCP, and 1 has represented limit priority, And 8 represent lowest priority.PBR represents the minimal bit rate guaranteed for corresponding RB, this Mean that LTE system even can also support the ratio of such degree under the wireless environment of no good cake Special rate.PBR can be arranged on 0 within the scope of unlimited.
Meanwhile, once initial setting up RB, then by LCP and PBR of each RB Set up message via RB and be sent to terminal RRC from network RRC.Disappear receiving RB foundation After breath, then terminal RRC arrange necessity RB and by about each RB LCP and The information of PBR is sent to terminal MAC.Have been received by the MAC of such information based on this The rule of the sample given Radio Resource relative to each TTI determines the conveying capacity for each RB.
Summary of the invention
Technical scheme
When logical channels prioritizing (LCP), MAC only considers LCP And PBR.Therefore, for particular logical channel, it is possible to, the wireless money distributed Source is likely less than the RLC status PDU to send via corresponding logic channel.But, when touching Hair-like state report time, it is allowed to receive side AM RLC by with the AMD PDU in preset range Relevant all information include in the status PDU for transmitting.Therefore, if being used for sending The Radio Resource of status PDU is less than status PDU, then cannot send constructed status PDU. Correlation technique does not accounts for such situation.As a result, such situation occurs, and just cannot send The RLC status PDU constructed, thus cause deadlock situation.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to, the most suitable in MAC layer logical channels Sequence arranges so that in the case of each logical channel assignment Radio Resource, it is allowed to MAC layer (MAC entity) is based on to distribute wireless from the size of the RLC status PDU that rlc layer sends Resource, and allow rlc layer when using the Radio Resource distributed in RLC data PDU Use status PDU before, thus it can be prevented that unsuccessful due to status PDU of rlc protocol Transmit and enter deadlock.To this end, the present invention proposes operation and the behaviour of RLC of MAC respectively Make.
In order to solve the problem of correlation technique, a kind of for passing in mobile communication system The method sending wireless spread-spectrum technology (RLC) protocol Data Unit (PDU), including: access from media Control (MAC) entity and receive the instruction of available resources;Use the instruction of described available resources by preferentially Order arrangement RLC controls the PDU transmission relative to RLC data PDU;And use is connect The RLC PDU being prioritized described in the available resources transmission received.
The method may further include and controls the PDU described available money of distribution to RLC Source, and if remained any resource, then described remaining resource is assigned to described RLC Data PDU.
RLC controls PDU can represent RLC status PDU, and the method is permissible Farther include: if the described available resources indicated from described MAC entity are less than a state The size of PDU, then can be skipped one state by described RLC entity for this conveyer The transmission of PDU.
(TTI) can be spaced for each delivery time and check described available resources and institute State a status PDU.
RLC controls PDU can represent RLC status PDU, and the method is permissible Farther include, by RLC entity, scheduling is checked whether for interval of each delivery time (TTI) Status PDU is used for transmitting, and if it is, notifies described shape to described MAC entity The size of state PDU.
In one aspect of the invention, a kind of for distributing in mobile communication system For the method for resource transmitted, may include that distribute that described resource makes to be reduced preferential Level order to all logic channels provide service, until etc. each wireless spread-spectrum technology to be sent (RLC) size of status protocol data units (PDU);If having remained any resource, then distribute Such surplus resources makes the priority orders being reduced provide service to all logic channels, Until the bit rate (PBR) being prioritized of they configurations;And if having remained any Resource, then distribute such surplus resources and make with the strict priority orders declined to all of Logic channel provides service.
The method may further include: by medium education (MAC) entity inspection Whether RLC entity scheduled for transmission for interval of each delivery time (TTI) Status PDU;And the status PDU for transmission if there is scheduling, then receive with described The information that the size of status PDU is relevant.
In another aspect of the present invention, a kind of for dividing in mobile communication system The method joining resource, may include that by medium education (MAC) Layer assignment resource so that with The priority orders declined provides service to all logic channels, until each of logic channel presses Each RLC status PDU to be sent such as the bit rate (PBR) of prioritizing adds big Little;And if remained any resource, then distributed described surplus resources by described MAC entity, Make to provide service with the strict priority orders declined to all logic channels.
The method may further include: real at RLC by described MAC entity inspection Whether body scheduled the status PDU for transmitting for each TTI;And if scheduled For the described status PDU transmitted, then receive the information relevant with the size of described status PDU.
In one aspect of the invention, a kind of radio chains in mobile communication system Road controls (RLC) entity can include module, and this module is configured to: from medium education (MAC) entity receives the instruction of resource;Check whether and scheduled peer RLC entities to be sent to Status PDU;Big by the size of the resource of described instruction and described status PDU to be sent Little compare;If according to resource described in described comparative result more than or equal to described status PDU, First described resource is distributed to status PDU, in order to send described to described peer RLC entities Status PDU;And if according to resource described in described comparative result less than described status PDU, Then skip the transmission of described status PDU.
Beneficial effect
When Radio Resource is less than the status PDU being used for transmission of scheduling, relevant skill Art does not define the operational approach receiving side AM RLC, and this causes the deadlock situation of agreement.Cause This, the present invention allows MAC layer to consider the size of RLC status PDU when Resources allocation, and And also allow for rlc layer when Resources allocation first to RLC status PDU Resources allocation, in order to The stable operation of agreement is realized in the case of regardless of wireless environment.

As illustrated by first and second embodiments of the present invention, in order to support MAC Operation, for each TTI, it should check for scheduling for transmit status PDU, And if it is present the size of corresponding status PDU should be notified to MAC.Need Such RLC-MAC is alternately to allow the operational approach of MAC.
But, different from above method, RLC itself can be operated to avoid RLC Deadlock state.It is, when receiving the information (indicate) relevant with available resources from MAC layer Time, if these available resources are more than or equal to the size of status PDU, then RLC entity can be by Status PDU for transmitting is prioritized relative to RLC data PDU.It is, First these available resources are assigned to RLC status PDU, and if remained any resource, Then such remaining resource is assigned to RLC data PDU.
And, if from these available resources of MAC instruction less than status PDU, then For this conveyer meeting, RLC entity can not send status PDU (that is, skip state PDU Transmission).In other words, in conveyer meeting the earliest, i.e. when available resources more than or etc. When the size of status PDU, RLC entity can send status PDU.
Receive the instruction of available resources from MAC layer again referring to Fig. 7, RLC entity (S21).If the size of received available resources is more than or equal to the size of status PDU (S22), then RLC entity first to RLC status PDU Resources allocation (S23).To state After PDU is assigned with resource, if having remained any resource, the most then RLC entity is to RLC Data PDU distribute remaining resource (S24).But, if the size of Radio Resource is less than state The size (S22) of PDU, then for this conveyer meeting, RLC entity skips RLC status PDU Transmission.Afterwards, RLC entity checks the size of Radio Resource for each TTI, in order to when The size of resource is more than sending status PDU (S25) during status PDU.
Hereinafter, the RLC entity according to the present invention will be described.
