Fig. 3 show the one embodiment according to the disclosure in multi-carrier transmission The flow chart of the process 300 intercepted before session.In certain embodiments, process 300 can be with Performed by the sending ending equipment of multi-carrier transmission.For example, process 300 can be from will be to UE The BS 110 of 122 and/or 124 transmission data is performing.Again for example, process 300 can be by To perform to the UE 122 or 124 of the transmission data of BS 110.Additionally or alternatively, Process 300 can be being performed by equipment detached with sending ending equipment or cluster tool.To the greatest extent Pipe Fig. 3 shows the example frame of process 300, and in certain embodiments, process 300 can be with Including other frame, less frame, different frames or with these frames for describing in Fig. 3 The frame being differently arranged.Additionally or alternatively, two or more frames of process 300 can To be concurrently performed.
As shown in figure 3, process 300 can include for multiple carrier waves being divided at least one load Wavelength-division group, each carrier wave packet include at least one of the plurality of carrier wave carrier wave (frame 310).In certain embodiments, by sending ending equipment (for example, BS 110, UE 122 or 124) person UE performs the division of carrier wave.In certain embodiments, sending ending equipment is detected There are multiple data flows transmit respectively over a number of carriers, so that holding to multiple carrier waves Intercept before the session of row process 300, to determine whether to transmit on these carrier waves accordingly Data block.In certain embodiments, multiple carrier waves can include taking unlicensed spectrum Unauthorized carrier wave, authorizes carrier wave, or unauthorized carrier wave and the combination for authorizing carrier wave.This public affairs The scope of the embodiment opened is not limited in this respect.
In embodiment of the disclosure, according to the corresponding clothes of type of service of different data blocks Business prescription is come to intercepting before the execution session of multiple carrier waves.The Service Quality of different data blocks The different parameters that amount is used during requiring to can correspond to intercept before session.In some realities Apply in example, each carrier wave being desired in multiple carrier waves determines independent parameter for before session Intercept.In other embodiment, some or all carrier waves being desired in multiple carrier waves Public parameter is determined for intercepting before session.Thus, sending ending equipment can first will be more Individual carrier wave is divided into one or more carrier waves and is grouped, and then determines phase in units of carrier wave packet Answer for the parameter intercepted before session.
In certain embodiments, each the carrier wave packet for being divided can include only one carrier wave. And say, independent parameter can be determined for intercepting before session for each carrier wave.At some In embodiment, a carrier wave packet can include two or more carrier waves.For same load Multiple carrier waves in wavelength-division group, can have public parameter to intercept before being used for session.One In the case of a little, at least two adjacent on the same frequency band carrier waves can be divided into one In carrier wave packet.For example, if each carrier wave has 20MHz bandwidth, for 100MHz Frequency band, five carrier waves in the frequency band can be divided into a carrier wave packet, from And this five carrier wave packets can be intercepted before being conversated using identical parameter.
As further shown in figure 3, process 300 is also included based on every in multiple carrier waves The type of service of the data block transmitted on individual carrier wave, is each during at least one carrier wave is grouped Carrier wave packet determines corresponding LBT priority types, and each LBT priority type is corresponded to For performing the different parameters set (frame 320) of LBT.In certain embodiments, by sending (for example, 124) BS 110, UE 122 or UE perform the LBT of carrier wave packet to end equipment Priority type determines.

In embodiment of the disclosure, multiple LBT priority types can be pre-defined, often Individual LBT priority types can have the corresponding different parameters set for LBT (under Wen Zhong, is also referred to as " LBT parameters " or " LBT parameter sets " sometimes).One In a little embodiments, LBT parameter sets can at least include that maximum contention window (can be by table It is shown as " CWmax"), minimum competition window (" CW can be represented asmin") and postpone when Between (Defer Time).Additionally or alternatively, LBT parameter sets can be with maximum transmitted Holding time (transmission opportunity " Transmission Opportunity " can also be referred to as, TXOP), after each determination carrier wave of instruction can be used for transmission data block, the carrier wave can be occupied Maximum time.These parameters in LBT parameter sets can be pre-configured with.For Different LBT priority types, in these parameters, some or all parameters can With difference.In one example, LBT priority is higher, corresponding CWmax、CWmin、 Time delay and/or TXOP can be less.In other examples, LBT priority and parameter Size can have other corresponding relations.Will be with regard to use of these parameters during LBT It is described in detail below.
In embodiment of the disclosure, to transmit on each carrier depending on sending ending equipment Data block type of service, it may be determined that each carrier wave is grouped corresponding LBT priority class Type.For example, there may be the type of service (or quality of service requirement) and LBT of data block Mapping relations between priority type.According to this mapping relations, it may be determined that at each The corresponding LBT priority types of data block transmitted on carrier wave, and then determination includes the carrier wave Carrier wave be grouped corresponding LBT priority types.
Fig. 4 shows the corresponding LBT parameter sets of multiple LBT priority types.Will It is noted that these parameters in LBT parameter sets are configurable.Lead in different LBT priority types and LBT can be configured in letter system or in different cells Different mappings between parameter sets.
In the example of fig. 4, maximum contention window and minimum competition window are integers, its list Position can be carried out session before intercept a time slot, such as clear channel assessment (CCA) (Clearance Channel Assessment, CCA) time slot.CCA time slots can be such as 9 μ s.In figure In 4 example, as LBT priority types are lower, maximum transmitted holding time is (i.e. TXOP it is) bigger.In the LBT parameters shown in Fig. 4, parameter n is determined for prolonging The slow time.For example, can be calculated based on equation below time delay:
Tdefer=(16+n × tslot)μs (1)
Wherein TdeferRepresent time delay;And tslotRepresent and perform a CCA time slot.At one In example, tslotCan be 9 μ s.From formula (1), when different LBT priority class The corresponding n of type it is different when, corresponding time delay is also different.It should be noted that may be used also With otherwise based on parameter n determining T time delaydefer
Fig. 4 also show the mapping relations between LBT priority types and different service types. In the example of fig. 4, the higher data block of quality of service requirement (for example, voice, video Deng) corresponding to higher LBT priority types.It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, Can also be entered come the data by LBT priority types with different service types according to other criterions Row mapping.
Based on the mapping relations between LBT priority types and type of service, for each load The difference of the type of service of data block to be transmitted on carrier wave included by wavelength-division group, can be true The fixed carrier wave is grouped corresponding LBT grades.In certain embodiments, if a carrier wave point Group includes the data block that single type is transmitted in only single carrier wave, and the carrier wave, then according to Mapping relations can determine corresponding LBT grades for the carrier wave packet.In certain embodiments, If a carrier wave packet includes multiple carrier waves and will transmit different business on each carrier The data block of type, or the packet of carrier wave includes single carrier wave and will pass on the carrier wave The data block (i.e. including the data block of different service types) of defeated mixing, then closed according to mapping System can determine multiple LBT priority types corresponding with these types of service.In this feelings Under condition, from multiple LBT priority types, highest LBT priority type can be selected to use Make the LBT priority types of the carrier wave packet.In another embodiment, if LBT ginsengs Manifold defines maximum transmitted holding time (that is, TXOP), and LBT priority in closing Type is lower, and TXOP is bigger, then can select most from multiple LBT priority types LBT priority type of the low LBT priority types as the carrier wave packet, to support most The quality of service requirement of the business of high priority.In other embodiments, can be from multiple LBT A LBT priority type is randomly choosed in priority type corresponding as the carrier wave packet LBT priority types.The scope of embodiment of the disclosure is not limited in this respect.
Although some LBT priority types, corresponding LBT parameter sets are shown in Fig. 4 And the type of service for being mapped it should be appreciated that can also configure more or more Few LBT priority types, more or less of type of service, and can configure and institute The different LBT parameters for illustrating.Additionally or alternatively, LBT priority class can be configured The different mappings of type and type of service.For example, can be with two or more different business Type corresponds to a LBT priority type.
As further shown in figure 3, process 300 also includes the LBT priority based on determined by The corresponding parameter sets of type, each the carrier wave packet in the packet of at least one carrier wave are wrapped LBT is performed on the carrier wave for including, whether can be used for passing with each carrier wave determined in multiple carrier waves Transmission of data block (frame 330).In certain embodiments, by sending ending equipment (for example, BS 110, 124) UE 122 or UE perform LBT.
In embodiment of the disclosure, for the included carrier wave of each carrier wave packet, can be with Using the corresponding parameter sets of LBT priority types of the carrier wave packet come to included load Ripple performs LBT.If a carrier wave packet includes multiple carrier waves, multiple carrier waves shared Individual public LBT parameter sets.Depending on number to be transmitted on the carrier wave in being grouped in carrier wave According to the LBT parameter sets of some carrier wave packets may be identical, it is also possible to differs.
In embodiment of the disclosure, although multiple carrier waves be divided into carrier wave packet in with In it is determined that corresponding LBT parameters, but determine the corresponding LBT parameters of each carrier wave it Afterwards, LBT can be executed separately for each carrier wave.It is used for performing LBT based on determined by Parameter, intercept before session being performed using intercept technology before polytype session. Hereinafter process is intercepted before describing an example session in one embodiment.
In certain embodiments, during intercepting before the session of each carrier wave, can be many Clear channel assessment (CCA) is performed in individual CCA time slots whether idle to assess the carrier wave.Specifically, Competition window can be determined between the maximum contention window of LBT parameters and minimum competition window Size (can be represented as " CWS ").In one example, CWS can be by initially It is set to minimum competition window CWmin, afterwards CWS further can adjust.Competition window The adjustment of size CWS is discussed further below.In certain embodiments, can be according to competing Strive window size determine that random back counts (Backoff Counter) window size (can be by It is expressed as " N ").Random back count window size N can be indicated it is determined that carrier wave is available Before transmission data block during clear channel assessment (CCA) of accumulative of the carrier wave in idle condition Gap.Generally, not made if the determination carrier wave in certain CCA time slot is in the free time immediately The carrier wave is used, and is the need to ensure that the carrier wave is in the free time within a certain period of time, to avoid With the transmission collision of other equipment.
In certain embodiments, can be from 0 to uniform point contention window size CWS A pseudo random number is chosen in cloth as random back count window size N.N is usually whole Number.During intercepting before the session to each carrier wave, every time (for example, in a CCA In time slot) detect carrier wave in idle condition, then by random back count window size N Subtract 1.If the carrier wave is detected in busy state, keep random back count window chi Very little N is constant.If N is reduced to 0, can determine that the carrier wave can be used for transmission data block.
In certain embodiments, LBT parameter sets can include T time delaydefer, indicate In clear channel assessment (CCA) to carrier wave, after busy state, on proceeding, once the free time believes Minimum latency before road assessment.In this case it is also possible to be based on time delay TdeferTo intercept before performing the session to carrier wave.In one example, the load is detected every time When ripple is in busy state, T is waited at least for firstdeferTime, it is random within the time period Keep out of the way count window size N and keep constant.Waiting TdeferTime after continue detection should The state (idle or busy) of carrier wave.
Determined by above-mentioned basis, random back count window size N (goes back root in one example According to T time delaydefer) can be referred to as extension idle for the process of clear channel assessment (CCA) that performs Channel estimating (eCCA) process.In certain embodiments, carry if eCCA processes determine Ripple can be used to transmit, then corresponding data block is transmitted on the carrier wave.In other embodiments, The short period can be waited again, determine that carrier wave is still constantly in idle shape within the time period State.This process can be referred to as initial idle channel estimating (ICCA).In one example, During ICCA, such as 25 μ s can be waited.If during ICCA, carrier wave Idle condition is still within, is then intercepted before can determine the session to the carrier wave successfully and can To start in the carrier wave transmitting data block.If the carrier wave quilt is detected during ICCA Take, it is determined that to intercepting failure before the session of the carrier wave.
Revealed as radio frequency (RF) may occur between adjacent carrier, if adjacent carrier In a carrier wave on transmit, then intercept before performing session on other idle carrier waves Successfully probability will very little.Therefore, in certain embodiments, can synchronous multiple carrier waves Session before intercept process and/or subsequent data transmission procedure.In one embodiment, may be used To intercept before performing session to multiple carrier waves simultaneously.Additionally or alternatively, one can be arranged Individual LBT synchronous boundaries, the carrier wave intercepted before having completed session before LBT synchronous boundaries To continue waiting for until reaching the LBT synchronous boundaries.If after LBT synchronous boundaries are reached Intercept before remaining unfulfilled the session to carrier wave, it is determined that LBT synchronous detecting fails.Additionally Or alternatively, synchronous transfer border can also be set, it is determined after intercepting before session Data biography is started simultaneously in the synchronous transfer boundary to can be used for the carrier wave of transmission data block It is defeated.
Fig. 5 shows a specific example for performing LBT processes over a number of carriers.As schemed Shown in 5, the sending ending equipment in LTE system is expected corresponding number is sent on carrier wave 1 to 5 According to.In the example of hgure 5, carrier wave 1 to 5 can include unauthorized carrier wave, thus other System, such as Wi-Fi systems may dispatch these carrier waves for transmission data block.LTE Sending ending equipment in system can perform session to these carrier waves before transmission data block Before intercept.In the example of fig. 5, it is assumed that individually determining corresponding LBT for each carrier wave Priority type (corresponding LBT parameters) is for detecting.That is, each carrier wave point Group includes a carrier wave.For the impact for preventing RF from revealing, sending ending equipment can be opened simultaneously Intercept before beginning session, and LBT synchronous boundaries are set process is intercepted before simultaneous session Terminate and arrange synchronous transfer border to synchronous data transmission.Intercept before session and can wrap Include eCCA processes and ICCA processes.
For carrier wave 1, the LBT parameter determinations random back count window chi according to determined by Very little (that is, keeping out of the way counting) N1It is 4.Examine in the 1st time slot intercepted before session is started Carrier wave 1 is measured in idle condition, thus by N1Subtract 1.Detect in front 4 time slots Idle condition, N are in carrier wave 11It is reduced to 0.At this point it is possible to determine the eCCA of carrier wave 1 The testing result of process is successful, and does not continue to perform detection, and is to wait for LBT Synchronous boundaries.
For carrier wave 2, the data that transmitted on carrier 2 are different from carrier wave 1, thus to carry Random back count window size N that ripple 2 determines2With N1Differ, N2Equal to 6.Opening After 6 time slots intercepted before beginning session, it may be determined that carrier wave 2 is constantly in idle condition, Thus N2The testing result for being reduced to 0 and eCCA process is successful.Now may not be used Perform detection is further continued for, and is to wait for LBT synchronous boundaries.
For carrier wave 3, the LBT parameter determinations random back count window chi according to determined by Very little N3It is 5.In front 2 time slots, carrier wave 3 is determined in idle condition, and at random Keep out of the way count window size N3It is reduced to 3.In the 3-5 time slot, carrier wave 3 is by Wi-Fi System takes, thus the sending ending equipment in LTE system detects carrier wave 3 in busy shape State and keep N3It is constant.From the 6th time slot, continue to detect carrier wave 3 in the free time State, thus to N3Execution is successively decreased and (is assumed not using T time delaydefer).At 8 After time slot, it may be determined that the testing result of the eCCA processes of carrier wave 3 is successful.This When can not continue to perform detection, and be to wait for LBT synchronous boundaries.
For carrier wave 4, the LBT parameter determinations random back count window chi according to determined by Very little N4It is 6.During eCCA, N40 is reduced to, thus determines the eCCA of carrier wave 4 The testing result of process is successful.
For carrier wave 5, the LBT parameter determinations random back count window chi according to determined by Very little N5It is 6.During the eCCA intercepted before session, carrier wave 4 is risen in the 2nd time slot Taken by Wi-Fi systems always.When LBT synchronous boundaries are reached, carrier wave 5 is moved back at random Keep away count window size N5Equal to 1,0 is not also reduced to.Hence, it can be determined that carrier wave 5 The testing result of eCCA processes be failure.
When LBT synchronous boundaries are reached, it may be determined that the eCCA processes of carrier wave 1 to 4 As a result it is successful, and the eCCA processes of carrier wave 5 are failures.Therefore, carrier wave 5 exists It is confirmed as being not useable for transmission data block during intercepting before this session.Afterwards, continue ICCA processes are performed, whether assessment carrier wave 1 to 4 is still within the free time during ICCA State.As carrier wave 4 is still taken (that is, carrier wave by Wi-Fi systems during ICCA 4 ICCA processes are blocked), therefore, carrier wave 4 intercept before this session during quilt It is defined as being not useable for transmission data block, and carrier wave 1 to 3 is confirmed to be and can be used to transmit number According to block.Sending ending equipment is corresponding using 1 to 3 simultaneous transmission of carrier wave in synchronous transfer boundary Data block.
In certain embodiments, the corresponding LBT parameters of LBT priority types can also be specified Corresponding maximum transmitted holding time TXOP.If intercepting before session that process determines can be with In at least one of multiple carrier waves carrier wave transmitting data block, then the carrier wave institute can be based on Carrier wave be grouped the maximum transmitted holding time of corresponding LBT priority types to transmit phase The data block answered.As previously mentioned, in order to avoid the RF between adjacent carrier is revealed, such as At least two carrier waves in really multiple carrier waves can be used for transmission data block, expect while at these Carry out data transmission on carrier wave (for example, start simultaneously at transmission, and while terminate transmission). In certain embodiments, if at least two carrier waves that can be used for transmission data block are included in In different carrier wave packets, it means that different carrier waves are grouped corresponding LBT priority types Different TXOP may be defined.In order to realize synchronous data transmission, can be determined by Minimum time value is selected to be used for simultaneously in these carrier wave transmitting datas in different TXOP Block.In other embodiments, can randomly choose from different maximum transmitted holding times One time value is to synchronous data transmission.
In certain embodiments, after performing data transfer on the corresponding carrier wave, can be with Intercept what process was used before adjusting the session performed on the carrier wave in different carrier wave packets Parameter.Due to maximum contention window CWmax, minimum competition window CWmin, time delay Tdefer, the parameter such as maximum transmitted holding time TXOP be pre-configured with, generally will not be Change after intercepting before performing session every time.In certain embodiments, detect before session is performed After listening, and in data transfer (if at least one carrier wave is confirmed as can be used to pass Transmission of data block) after, each carrier wave can be adjusted and be grouped corresponding contention window size CWS With random back count window size N.
In one embodiment, transmission data can be had been used for adjusting based on predetermined criterion The carrier wave that the carrier wave of block is located is grouped corresponding contention window size CWS.And say, it is based on The result intercepted before previous session, is used to the corresponding parameter of carrier wave of transmission data block It is adjusted.For example, in the example of hgure 5, carrier wave 1 to 3 is confirmed as transmitting number According to block.After these carrier waves complete data transfer, the load that these carrier waves are located can be adjusted Corresponding contention window size CWS of wavelength-division group.
In certain embodiments, can based on the feedback of the data transfer on carrier wave, for example HARQ (mixed automatic retransfer) feedbacks carry out Competition adjustment window size CWS.Due to HARQ Feedback generally has delay, and the HARQ being obtained in that when adjustment is performed is for The feedback of data transfer rather than this data transfer.Whether any data transfer be directed to Feedback, can reflect some channel conditions of the carrier wave.In one example, such as Fruit HARQ feedback is ACK (confirmation) feedbacks, indicates the data transfer quilt on the carrier wave It is properly received, then the size of competition window can be reduced.If HARQ feedback is NACK (Negative Acknowledgement) is fed back, and indicates that the data transfer on the carrier wave is not successfully received, that The size of competition window can be increased.Either contention window size is increased or decreased, Which is always at corresponding maximum contention window CWmaxWith minimum competition window CWminBetween. If specific carriers packet only includes a carrier wave, the carrier wave is grouped corresponding competition window Size can be adjusted according to the HARQ feedback on the carrier wave.If specific carriers are grouped Including multiple carrier waves, then the carrier wave is grouped corresponding contention window size and can consider many simultaneously HARQ feedback on individual carrier wave is being adjusted.
Additionally or alternatively, can be adjusted based on the result intercepted before the session on carrier wave Whole contention window size CWS.What the result intercepted before the session of institute's foundation can be performed with this The result intercepted before session, or the result intercepted before the session for previously having performed.One Individual example, if intercepted before session in process (including eCCA processes and ICCA processes), Detect the carrier wave busy state is in (for example, continuously on multiple continuous CCA time slots Busy time slot is more than a threshold value), then can increase the size of competition window.Alternatively or Additionally, whether one can be more than based on the sum of the time slot in busy state for detecting Individual threshold value come determine whether increase competition window size.Similarly, if specific carriers point Group only includes a carrier wave, then the corresponding contention window size of carrier wave packet can foundation The result intercepted before the session on the carrier wave is adjusted.If specific carriers packet includes Multiple carrier waves, then the carrier wave be grouped corresponding contention window size and can be considered multiple simultaneously Intercept to be adjusted before session on each carrier wave of carrier wave.
In certain embodiments, can adjusted based on predetermined criterion all multiple carrier waves ( That is, all carrier wave packets) corresponding contention window size.For example, in the example of hgure 5, The contention window size of carrier wave 1 to 3 is not only adjusted, this is also adjusted and is not used for transmitting number According to the contention window size of the carrier wave 4 to 5 of block.With the contention window of the carrier wave only to being used The adjustment of mouth size is similar to, and the predetermined criterion for being used can be included in the data on carrier wave and pass Defeated feedback (for example, HARQ feedback), and/or the result intercepted before the session on carrier wave. In certain embodiments, for the carrier wave for being confirmed as being not used by intercepting before previous session, Can be set to the condition of Competition adjustment window size CWS more strict.For example, For the given carrier wave being not used by, can only in the HARQ feedback of many data transfers When being that ACK feeds back, just reduce corresponding contention window size.
In certain embodiments, after the transmission of the data, each carrier wave can also be adjusted to be grouped Corresponding random back count window size N.In one embodiment, in previous meeting The value of random back count window size N being decremented by intercepting before words can keep.For example, In the example of hgure 5, at LBT synchronous boundaries, the random back count window of carrier wave 5 Size N5It is reduced to 1.Now, keep N5Random back count window size constancy it is (false If carrier wave 5 is separately included in a carrier wave packet), for next time for carrier wave 5 Intercept before session.In this way, the carrier wave being not used by can be increased once upper It is confirmed as can be used for the probability of data transfer when intercepting before words.
In one embodiment, each carrier wave can be reset and is grouped corresponding random back Count window size N.For example, corresponding contention window size can be grouped in each carrier wave CWS is uniformly distributed and middle determines that pseudo random number is used as moving back at random for carrier wave packet with 0 Keep away count window size N.
Updated contention window size CWS and random back count window size can be directed to Corresponding carrier wave is stored.If the type of service of the data transmitted on the carrier wave is not sent out It is raw to change, when intercepting before session is performed on the carrier wave next time, can directly using The CWS and random back count window size of storage is performing.
In described above, when intercepting before session is performed to multiple carrier waves, can be each Carrier wave determines that each carrier wave (for example, is divided into one at frame 310 by single LBT parameters Individual carrier wave packet), public LBT parameters can also be determined (for example, in frame for multiple carrier waves Two or more carrier waves are divided in a carrier wave packet at 310).Each carrier wave packet tool Have single LBT parameters for transmission mode in share public compared to multiple carrier waves The mode of LBT parameters, can have lower complexity and single carrier LBT processes are had Minimum change, and the different services of the different pieces of information transmitted on each carrier wave can be met Prescription.However, due to being to use different LBT parameters for each carrier wave, it is high The data of priority are by correspondence high LBT priority types, and thus may have higher Carrier wave access chance.The lower priority for being so likely difficult to guarantee on other carrier waves The carrier wave of the quality of service requirement of data and these data accesses chance.In this case, Carrier wave can multiple carrier waves between be maintained to access using public LBT parameters across multiple carrier waves It is well balanced between the quality of service requirement of the data transmitted in chance and carrier wave.
