Description

Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving downlink control channel in wireless communication system
The present application is a divisional application of an invention patent application having an application date of 10/1/2008, an application number of 201310316472.3, entitled "method and apparatus for allocating and transmitting acknowledgement/negative acknowledgement resources in a wireless communication system".
Technical Field
The present invention relates generally to wireless communication systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving acknowledgement/non-acknowledgement (ACK/NACK) for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ).
Background
There are two main error control schemes in data transmission systems, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ). FEC systems attempt to correct errors in the received data. If the error correction is successful, the correct data is decoded. If error correction fails, erroneous data is provided to the user or the data is lost. In the ARQ system, a transmitter transmits data encoded using FEC with good error correction capability, and if an error is detected from the received data, a receiver requests retransmission to the transmitter.
FEC is relatively inefficient in a good channel environment and reduces system reliability if error correction fails. On the other hand, ARQ has advantages of high system reliability and low redundant effective transmission, but it causes frequent retransmission requests in a poor channel environment, thereby significantly reducing system efficiency. To overcome these drawbacks, HARQ is proposed, which combines FEC and ARQ in a suitable way.
HARQ is a scheme that attempts to correct errors in received coded data (HARQ packets). It determines whether retransmission of the HARQ packet is requested from a simple error detection code such as a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). After determining the presence or absence of errors in the received HARQ packet, the receiver feeds back an ACK or NACK to the transmitter. The transmitter retransmits the HARQ packet or transmits a new HARQ packet according to the ACK or NACK.
The receiver uses the appropriate radio resources for ACK/NACK transmission. The ACK/NACK is transmitted on fewer subcarriers in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) wireless communication system and is transmitted on a predetermined code channel in a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) system. Generally, HARQ packets are simultaneously transmitted to multiple users at one Transmission Time Interval (TTI). Therefore, ACK/NACK is also simultaneously transmitted for the HARQ packet.
When a node B allocates a downlink data channel to a User Equipment (UE), it also allocates a control channel resource in which the UE will transmit ACK/NACK regarding the downlink data channel. For uplink data transmission, the node B receives uplink packet data from the UE on an uplink data channel and then transmits ACK/NACK for the packet data in resources negotiated between the node B and the UE.
In general, limited resources are available to a system and system resources should be appropriately divided into channels including a data channel and an ACK/NACK channel (ACKCH). Therefore, it is important to allocate as many resources to the ACKCH as are required for a given TTI. To illustrate resource allocation, an Enhanced Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (EUTRA) -OFDM downlink frame structure is illustrated in fig. 1. UTRA is a future generation mobile communication standard of the third generation partnership project (3 GPP).
Referring to fig. 1, a system bandwidth 101 is 10MHz and a total of 50 Resource Blocks (RBs) 102 are defined in the system bandwidth 101. Each RB 102 includes 12 subcarriers, and each 1ms TTI 105 has 14 OFDM symbol intervals 104. One downlink data channel may be formed with one or more RBs.
In the downlink frame structure of fig. 1, up to 50 downlink data channels can be simultaneously scheduled for one TTI 105. Therefore, up to 50 uplink ACKCHs are required. In practical embodiments, 10 or 20 data channels are scheduled on average for one TTI and as many uplink ACKCHs are needed for the data channels. Since the number of available ACKCHs and the average number of actually used ACKCHs are very different, efficient resource allocation is important.
If the node B explicitly informs the UE of the ACKCHs established in each TTI for the data channel, only as many ACKCHs as needed will be allocated in the TTI. Therefore, for downlink data transmission, the UE transmits ACK/NACK in the notified ACK/NACK resource. For uplink data transmission, the UE detects ACK/NACK transmitted by the node B from ACK/NACK resources signaled by the node B. Therefore, it is meaningful to reduce the amount of resources used for signaling (i.e., signaling overhead). Explicit signaling of information about ACK/NACK resources from the node B to the UE for each TTI results in a significant signaling overhead.
Therefore, there is a need for optimizing the number of resources allocated to the ACKCH and overhead of signaling ACK/NACK resources in order to increase system capacity by effectively using wireless resources.

Detailed Description
The matters defined in the description such as a detailed construction and elements are provided to assist in a comprehensive understanding of exemplary embodiments of the invention. Thus, one skilled in the art will recognize that: various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in the context of an OFDM cellular wireless communication system, in particular a 3GPP Universal Mobile Telecommunications Service (UMTS) based EUTRA system, it will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art that the subject matter of the present invention is also applicable to other communication systems having similar technical background and channel structure, with minor modifications within the scope and spirit of the invention.
The present invention is suitable for efficient allocation and signaling of channel resources for wireless communication systems. According to the present invention, different signaling schemes are used for ACK/NACK resource allocation according to the scheduling type of the data channel. Depending on the characteristics of the data traffic, the data channel can be scheduled in two ways.
For irregular data transmission, such as internet browsing or using a game service, the node B selects an appropriate radio resource and an appropriate TTI for the data transmission each time data is generated. When transmitting data, the node B signals scheduling information indicating the selection result to the UE on a Scheduling Control Channel (SCCH). This type of scheduling is referred to as non-persistent scheduling.
For most real-time or regular data traffic, such as voice over internet protocol (VoIP), the node B does not need to select resources for data transmission in every TTI and inform the UE of the selected resources. Therefore, the scheduling information regarding the resource allocation of the data service is signaled once at the initial scheduling and is effective in the subsequent data transmission. The validity of the scheduling information is continuously maintained or maintained for a predetermined time period. This type of scheduling in which the scheduling information is valid for multiple TTIs or for multiple data packets is called persistent scheduling.
The ACK/NACK resources are allocated and signaled in different manners in the present invention according to persistent or non-persistent scheduling of data transmission. More specifically, for non-persistently scheduled data transmission, the ACK/NACK resource is indicated by an index of the SCCH. For persistently scheduled data transmission, the ACK/NACK resource is explicitly signaled during initial scheduling and is still valid thereafter. Since the ACK/NACK resource allocation depends on the data scheduling type, the use efficiency of the entire resources increases and the signaling overhead of the ACK/NACK resources decreases.
In the MIMO scheme in which a plurality of codewords can be simultaneously transmitted on a single data channel through a plurality of transmission/reception antennas, two or more ACKCHs are required for the codewords. In this environment, the present invention provides a method of allocating ACK/NACK resources and signaling the allocated ACK/NACK resources, which is suitable for MIMO transmission.
The term "ACK/NACK resources" as used herein is defined as resources allocated to an ACKCH.
Example 1
Fig. 2 illustrates an ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 2, a node B scheduler 200 selects either non-persistent scheduling 211 or persistent scheduling 212 for a data channel.
In non-persistent scheduling 211, M SCCHs 203 convey scheduling information for M data channels. Each SCCH is a physical layer control channel that carries scheduling information for one data channel. The ACK/NACK resource for transmitting ACK/NACK for the data channel is implicitly indicated by an index of the SCCH 203 mapped to the data channel. Thus, different data channels, i.e., different SCCHs 203, are one-to-one mapped to ACKCHs 207 within a fixed-size set of resources 209, as indicated by reference numeral 205.
The simplest mapping rule is that SCCH # n is mapped to ACKCH # n, although other mapping rules are also available. The mapping between the SCCH 203 and the ACKCH 207 eliminates the need for the node B to explicitly signal the index of the ACKCH 207 to the UE, thereby reducing signaling overhead.
Meanwhile, in order to define the SCCH of various formats and sizes, Control Channel Elements (CCEs) each having a predetermined number of subcarriers are defined and marked with CCE indexes. The SCCH can be formed with one or more CCEs. Then, the indexes of the CCEs forming the SCCH are mapped to the ACK/NACK resources, not the indexes of the SCCH. The UE can find an index of the assigned ACKCH from among indexes of CCEs forming the SCCH without separately signaling the index of the ACKCH. In this way, ACK/NACK resources for non-persistently scheduled data are implicitly signaled by the index of the CCE rather than the index of the SCCH 203. If the SCCH includes a plurality of CCEs, one of CCE indexes, e.g., the smallest CCE index, can be mapped to the ACK/NACK resource.
The situation shown in fig. 2 is based on the assumption that up to M data channels can be scheduled in one TTI. The number of data channels scheduled for each TTI may vary according to the decision of the scheduler 200 of the node B, which in turn may vary the number of SCCHs 203 and ACKCHs 207. For the non-persistent scheduling 211, the resource group 209 is preset as many or more ACKCHs as the maximum allowable number of data channels to thereby allow fast allocation of ACK/NACK resources without explicit signaling.
In persistent scheduling 212, once resources are scheduled for a data channel using SCCH 204 in an initial data transmission, scheduling information regarding the resources is continuously valid or valid for a predetermined number of subsequent TTIs without transmission of new scheduling information.
However, considering that the number of persistently scheduled UEs is different in each cell and the number of persistently scheduled data channels is also different in each TTI, the node B explicitly transmits resource indication information indicating ACKCHs 208 within a variable-size resource group 210 to the UEs in persistent scheduling 212, as indicated by reference numeral 206. The resource indication information is then still valid for the UE as long as the same resource allocation is maintained for the data.
When needed, for example, in order to collect ACK/NACK resources scattered among RBs, it is possible to reallocate ACK/NACK resources for persistently scheduled data channels in service through additional signaling. The reallocation of the ACK/NACK resources can be indicated by higher layer signaling information transmitted on the persistently scheduled data channel. The UE obtains ACK/NACK resource indication information from higher layer signaling information and transmits ACK/NACK for a data channel to be received later in resources indicated by the ACK/NACK resource indication information.
As shown in fig. 2, ACK/NACK resource indication information on the persistently scheduled data channel is signaled through layer 1 (L1)/layer 2(L2) or through higher layer protocol information on a control channel, as shown by reference numeral 204. Even when persistent scheduling information on the data channel is transmitted by the L1/L2 signaling, the ACK/NACK resource indication information can be transmitted through higher layer signaling. Since the transmission of the initial scheduling information is sufficient in the persistent scheduling 212, the explicit signaling of the ACK/NACK indication information does not cause a great increase in signaling overhead, although as many ACK/NACK resources as necessary are allocated for each TTI.
In persistent scheduling 212, data is transmitted in persistently scheduled resources during an initial HARQ transmission. If the initially transmitted data is in error, the node B can explicitly schedule data channel resources for HARQ retransmissions. Accordingly, ACK/NACK is transmitted for the retransmitted data on ACKCH 207 within a fixed-size resource group 209, the ACKCH 207 being implicitly mapped to an index of the SCCH 203 that schedules the data channel during HARQ retransmission. Alternatively, the ACK/NACK can be transmitted on the same or different ACKCH as the previous persistently scheduled ACKCH in the variable-size resource group 210. Accordingly, the ACK/NACK resource for the initial HARQ transmission can be used for other channels.
For example, in case that ACK/NACK is transmitted on ACKCH 207, ACK/NACK resources allocated for a persistently scheduled data channel of the UE are limited to only initial HARQ transmission, wherein the ACKCH 207 is mapped to indexes of SCCHs scheduling the data resources during HARQ retransmission or indexes of CCEs forming the SCCHs. Since the node B can allocate ACK/NACK resources allocated to initial HARQ transmission to ACKCHs of other UEs or other channels of the UEs, resource use efficiency is improved. In other words, the ACK/NACK resource allocated persistently by persistent data scheduling is valid only for initial HARQ transmission, and the ACK/NACK resource implicitly indicated by the SCCH during HARQ retransmission is used for ACK/NACK transmission.
The above ACK/NACK resource allocation applies to both downlink and uplink. For downlink data transmission, the SCCHs 203 and 204 carry resource allocation information on downlink data from the node B to the UE, and the ACKCHs 207 and 208 deliver ACK/NACK on the downlink data from the UE to the node B. For uplink data transmission, the SCCHs 203 and 204 deliver resource allocation information on uplink data to be transmitted by the UE to the node B, and the ACKCHs 207 and 208 carry ACK/NACK of the uplink data from the node B to the UE.
Fig. 3 is a physical channel format of exemplary downlink scheduling according to the present invention when persistent scheduling information is transmitted through L1/L2 signaling like non-persistent scheduling information. Reference numeral 300 denotes an information format of the non-persistent SCCH, and reference numeral 301 denotes an information format of the persistent SCCH.
Referring to fig. 3, the UE receives and decodes a first part 303 (part 1) of the SCCH and determines whether the SCCH is for non-persistent scheduling or persistent scheduling based on the scheduling type indicator 302. The UE obtains scheduling information 305 or 306 from the scheduling type indicator 302 by receiving and decoding the second part 304 (part 2). The scheduling information 305 or 306 includes resource indication information indicating resources allocated to the data channel, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) level of the data channel, HARQ information, and MIMO information.
The persistent scheduling information 306 also includes ACK/NACK resource indication information and scheduling duration information indicating a duration for which the persistent scheduling information 306 is valid, compared to the non-persistent scheduling information 305. It can also be expected that this non-persistent SCCH format 300 is consistent with the persistent SCCH format 301, and that the scheduling duration information and the ACK/NACK indication information are separately signaled by L1/L2 or by higher layer signaling.
When an initial transmission is scheduled by persistent scheduling and signaled by L1/L2, ACK/NACK resources can be implicitly indicated by SCCH, as with non-persistent scheduling. The ACK/NACK resource can be explicitly signaled in an initial data transmission that is persistently scheduled or in a subsequent data transmission that is not indicated by the SCCH, and the ACK/NACK resource can be explicitly signaled. For example, if persistent scheduling information is signaled to the UE on the SCCH # k, the UE receives data in the data channel resources indicated by the SCCH # k and transmits ACK/NACK for the received data on the ACKCH # k mapped to the SCCH # k. For subsequent data received on the data channel resources, the UE transmits ACK/NACK for the data in ACK/NACK resources explicitly indicated by higher layer signaling information included in the data initially received in the data channel resources.
The above ACKCH usage example applies to higher layer signaling of persistent scheduling information on a data channel. Since a data channel carrying initial data including persistent scheduling information as higher layer signaling information is scheduled by the SCCH for the UE, the UE transmits ACK/NACK in ACK/NACK resources mapped to the SCCH or CCEs forming the SCCH. After successfully receiving the initial data, the UE transmits ACK/NACK in ACK/NACK resources indicated by higher layer signaling information included in the initial data.
Fig. 4 illustrates another ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 4, ACKCHs 403 for persistently scheduled data channels share a resource group 405 with CQICHs 404. The UE transmits status information on a downlink channel to the node B on the CQICH 404. The node B explicitly indicates transmission timing and resources for the CQICH to each UE, as indicated by reference numeral 401. Similar to ACKCH 403, the number of CQICHs 404 may vary per cell or per TTI. The CQICH 404 and ACKCH 403 share a variable-size resource group 405 and the node B controls the resources allocated to the ACKCH 403 and CQICH 404 within the resource group 405 by moving the resource boundary 402 according to the situation. Therefore, the entire resource is efficiently used.
Fig. 5 illustrates an exemplary ACK/NACK resource allocation according to the present invention. As an example, ACK/NACK resource allocation is performed in compliance with the EUTRA uplink SC-FDMA standard of 3 GPP.
Referring to fig. 5, a transmission bandwidth 500 of 10MHz is divided into 50 Resource Units (RUs) 501 to 504, each RU having 12 subcarriers. The ACKCH and the CQICH are multiplexed in the 1 st RU 501(RU #1), the 49 th RU 503(RU #49), and the 50 th RU504(RU #50) by Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) by applying different sequences or different cyclic shift sequences of the same sequence to the ACKCH and the CQICH. The ACKCH and the CQICH are multiplexed with the data channel by Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) in the 2 nd to 48 th RUs 502(RU #2 to RU # 48).
M ACKCHs for non-persistently scheduled data channels: ACKCH #1 to ACKCH # M are transmitted in RU #1 by CDM, and the remaining CDM resources in RU #1 are allocated to ACKCH # (M +1) to ACKCH #12 of the data channel for persistent scheduling. In addition to ACKCH # (M +1) to ACKCH #12, RUs #49 and #50 are used as ACK/NACK resources for the persistently scheduled data channels. In a TTI with a small number of persistently scheduled data channels, RU #49 and RU #50 are used for the data channels, and RU #2 to RU #48 are used for the data channel 505, or they are dedicated to CQICH.
Although RU #49 is allocated to 1 st to K th CQICHs 509 to 510(CQICH #1 to CQICH # K) in fig. 5, it is not necessary to be delimited in RU #49 and CQICHs can also be allocated in RU # 50. Since the number and index of ACK/NACK resources and CQICH resources are controlled on a TTI basis, as many radio resources as needed can be effectively used.
Instead of signaling absolute values, such as cyclic shift values of CDM sequences, additional orthogonal sequence indexes, and RU indexes, which are resource indication information on CQICHs and ACKCHs for persistently scheduled data channels in the variable-size resource group 405, transmitted to the UE, an offset from the boundary of the variable-size ACKCH resource group can be signaled to the UE. When each uplink channel index is defined by combining the cyclic shift value of the CDM sequence, the orthogonal sequence index, and the transmitted RU index shown in fig. 5, the offset represents a relative index with respect to ACKCH # M at the boundary of a variable-size ACKCH resource group. For example, ACKCH # (M + M) is indicated by offset M.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart of the operation of a node B according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 6, a node B prepares to schedule downlink and uplink data channels and ACKCHs for a UE in step 600. Specifically, the node B collects information required for scheduling, such as a scheduling type, a buffer status, and a resource status of data traffic. In step 601, the node B determines a scheduling type of a data channel and a transmission format of the data channel, such as allocated resources and MCS level, and then formats scheduling information according to the determined result.
In step 602, the node B determines whether the scheduling type is persistent or non-persistent. In case of persistent scheduling, the node B determines ACK/NACK resources and formats ACK/NACK resource indication information to inform the UE of the ACK/NACK resources in step 603. And determining the scheduling type according to the service characteristics of the data channel. In step 604, the node B transmits scheduling information of the data channel and ACK/NACK resource indication information through L1/L2 signaling or higher layer signaling.
In case of non-persistent scheduling, ACK/NACK resources are determined according to an index of the SCCH mapped to the data channel. Accordingly, the node B transmits only scheduling information of a data channel to the UE on the SCCH with the SCCH index in step 605.
Fig. 7A is a flowchart of the operation of a UE according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 7A, the UE obtains scheduling information by decoding the SCCH at each scheduling interval (i.e., each TTI) in step 700, and determines whether there is a data channel resource allocated to the UE in the current scheduling interval, i.e., whether the UE has been scheduled in the current scheduling interval according to the scheduling information in step 701. If the UE is not scheduled, the UE returns to step 700. If the UE has been scheduled, it transmits scheduled data according to the scheduling information when uplink data is scheduled, or receives and decodes scheduled data according to the scheduling information when downlink data reception is scheduled.
In step 703, the UE determines whether the scheduling type of the data used in step 702 is persistent or non-persistent. The UE can determine the scheduling type according to an indicator of the scheduling information or a traffic characteristic of the data channel. In case of the persistent scheduling type, the UE detects ACK/NACK resources explicitly indicated when data is initially scheduled by persistent scheduling in step 704, and transmits ACK/NACK to the node B in ACKCH resources when downlink data reception is scheduled or receives ACK/NACK from the node B in ACKCH resources when uplink data transmission is scheduled in step 706.
In case of the non-persistent scheduling type, the UE detects ACK/NACK resources implicitly mapped to the SCCH corresponding to the non-persistent scheduling data channel in step 705, and transmits or receives ACK/NACK to or from the node B in the ACK/NACK resources in step 706.
Fig. 7B is a flowchart of an operation of the UE when the UE transmits ACK/NACK for a persistently scheduled data channel on an uplink according to the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7B, in step 711, the UE receives persistent scheduling information that persistently schedules resources for a downlink data channel and an uplink ACKCH through L1/L2 signaling or higher layer signaling. That is, the persistent scheduling information includes ACK/NACK resource indication information for uplink ACKCH. In step 712, the UE periodically receives a data packet on the persistently scheduled data channel according to the persistent scheduling information.
In step 713, the UE determines that the data packet is an initial HARQ transmission packet or a HARQ retransmission packet. In case of initial HARQ transmission, the UE proceeds to step 715, and in case of HARQ retransmission, the UE proceeds to step 714. In step 715, the UE transmits ACK/NACK for the data packet in the ACK/NACK resource explicitly indicated in step 701. In step 714, the UE determines whether the persistent scheduling information has been received along with the data packet. If they are received separately, ACK/NACK for the data packet is transmitted in ACK/NACK resources explicitly indicated in step 701 in step 715. If they have been received together, the UE transmits ACK/NACK on ACKCH mapped to the SCCH or CCE of the SCCH in step 716.
Fig. 8 is a block diagram of a node B apparatus according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 8, a data channel scheduler 800 determines radio resources and MCS levels for data by scheduling a data channel. The scheduling information generator 803 generates scheduling information representing the determination result of the data channel scheduler 800, and the control channel generator 805 channel-encodes and transmits the scheduling information on the SCCH. The scheduling information can be transmitted through L1/L2 signaling or higher layer signaling.
The controller 801 determines to use ACK/NACK resources implicitly mapped to the SCCH for a non-persistently scheduled data channel. For a persistently scheduled data channel, the controller 801 determines ACK/NACK resources that need to be allocated in a variable-size resource group. The controller 801 notifies the ACKCH scheduler 802 of the determination result.
The ACKCH scheduler 802 determines resources allocated to an ACKCH for a data channel. Under the control of the controller 801, it does not schedule ACKCHs for non-persistently scheduled data channels, but allocates resources of ACKCHs among resource groups of variable sizes only for persistently scheduled data channels. The indication information generator 804 generates ACK/NACK resource indication information explicitly indicating the determination result of the ACKCH scheduler 802. The control channel generator 805 channel-encodes the ACK/NACK resource indication information and transmits it through L1/L2 signaling or higher layer signaling.
Fig. 9 is a block diagram of a receiver of a UE according to the present invention.
Referring to fig. 9, the SCCH decoder 900 detects an SCCH signal mapped to SCCH resources from a Received (RX) signal 906 and obtains scheduling information by decoding the SCCH signal. When the decoding of the scheduling information is successful, the controller 901 determines whether the scheduling information indicates a persistent or non-persistent scheduling type. In case of the persistent scheduling type, the controller 901 controls a Multiplexer (MUX)902 according to an ACK/NACK resource signaling scheme to provide a signaling signal indicating ACK/NACK resources in a received signal to the indication information decoder 903. If a signaling signal of ACK/NACK resources is included in the scheduling information, the MUX 902 selects the scheduling information and provides it to the indication information decoder 903.
The indication information decoder 903 obtains ACK/NACK resource indication information by decoding a signaling signal included in the scheduling information. During downlink data reception, ACK/NACK resource indication information is used for the ACK/NACK generator and mapper 904 to generate ACK/NACK for downlink data and map the ACK/NACK to ACK/NACK resources. For uplink data transmission, the ACK/NACK resource indication information is used for the ACK/NACK detector 905 to detect ACK/NACK mapped to the ACK/NACK resource from the RX signal 906.
In case of non-persistent scheduling, the controller 901 detects ACK/NACK resources implicitly mapped to SCCH indicating resources for non-persistent data channels, and informs the ACK/NACK generator and mapper 904 of the ACK/NACK resources for ACK/NACK transmission or reception.
Example 2
Fig. 10 illustrates an ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme for a MIMO system according to another embodiment of the present invention.
MIMO schemes are classified into single codeword MIMO (SCW-MIMO) and multiple codeword MIMO (MCW-MIMO). In MCW-MIMO, in which a transmitter simultaneously transmits a plurality of codewords, decoding is performed for each codeword. Therefore, as many ACKCHs as transmitted codewords are required. As shown in fig. 10, therefore, ACKCH of at least one codeword (e.g., a first codeword) on the MCW-MIMO data channel being non-persistently scheduled uses ACK/NACK resources mapped to an index of the SCCH for the first codeword as shown by reference numeral 1000, and ACK/NACK resources of the remaining codewords are explicitly signaled along with the SCCH 1002 for the MCW-MIMO data channel being non-persistently scheduled as shown by reference numeral 1003. The ACK/NACK resources share a variable-sized resource group 1005 with ACKCH for a persistently scheduled data channel.
That is, for non-persistent scheduling of MCW-MIMO data, the node B allocates a portion of the variable-size ACK/NACK resource 1005 for a codeword to which the ACK/NACK resource has not been allocated, as shown by reference numeral 1003, considering the allocation state of the ACK/NACK resource 1005 on a TTI basis. Sharing the resource group 1005 between the ACKCH for the non-persistently scheduled MCW-MIMO data channel and the ACKCH for the persistently scheduled MCW-MIMO data channel results in efficient use of wireless resources.
For non-MIMO and SCW-MIMO data channels, ACK/NACK resources implicitly signaled by the index of the SCCH 1001 are used, as indicated by reference numeral 1006, as previously described. Accordingly, ACK/NACKs for non-MIMO and SCW-MIMO data channels are transmitted on ACKCHs within the fixed-size resource group 1004.
Example 3
Fig. 11 illustrates an ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme according to a third embodiment of the present invention. ACK/NACK resources are allocated in consideration of cell coverage of ACKCH. Here, consider the 3GPP EUTRA standard, in which a TTI of 1ms is defined.
The cell coverage of ACKCH is defined as a cell radius in which ACKCH can be stably detected. In order to extend cell coverage for limited maximum transmit power, it is necessary to increase the reception energy of ACKCH at the receiver by increasing the transmission duration of ACKCH. However, as the transmission duration of the ACKCH increases, the number of resources occupied by the ACKCH also increases proportionally.
Thus, for efficient use of radio resources, a resource group 1101 of variable size for persistently scheduled data channels is divided into a first resource group 1107 having a transmission duration of 1ms and a second resource group 1108 having a transmission duration of 0.5 ms. ACKCH #2.x having a transmission duration 1105 of 0.5ms and ACKCH #1.x having a transmission duration 1104 of 1ms are allocated to the UEs undergoing persistent scheduling. The transmission duration of the allocated ACKCH is indicated by ACK/NACK resource indication information, or is preset between the system and the UE according to the position of ACK/NACK resources or the index of the ACKCH.
For a UE close to the node B, which has sufficient transmission power, the node B instructs the UE to transmit high-power ACK/NACK for 0.5ms by allocating ACKCH #2.x in the second resource group 1108, thereby reducing ACK/NACK resource overhead. For a UE located at a cell boundary, which does not have sufficient transmission power, the node B increases the reception energy of ACKCH by allocating ACKCH #1.x in the first resource group 1107 to the UE, thereby increasing the detection probability of ACK/NACK. The node B can determine whether the UE is nearby or located at the boundary of a cell through a channel status reported by the UE, a signal strength of a signal received from the UE, or a geographical location of the UE.
The boundaries 1106 between the first and second set of resources 1107 and 1108 vary per cell and per TTI. The ACKCHs of the second resource group 1108 are not always transmitted read-through for 0.5 ms. For example, ACKCH #2.1 and ACKCH #2.2 are alternately transmitted in two non-consecutive 2.5ms durations, and frequency hopping can occur during the next 0.5ms period. For example, ACKCH #1 is transmitted during a discontinuous period between 0 and 0.25ms and between 0.5 and 0.75ms, and ACKCH #2 is transmitted during a discontinuous period between 0.25 and 0.5ms and between 0.75 and 1 ms. ACKCH #1 and ACKCH #2 are transmitted in a first frequency resource (e.g., RU #1) for the first 0.5ms period, and they hop to a second frequency resource (e.g., RU #50) for the next 0.5ms period. In this case, the total transmission duration of ACKCH #2.x is 0.5ms, but since the transmission is discontinuous and frequency hopping, time and frequency diversity is achieved. The variable-size ACK/NACK resource 1101 can be shared between the CQICH and the ACKCH for the MCW-MIMO data channel and the ACKCH for the persistently scheduled data.
On the other hand, since ACKCHs for non-persistently scheduled data channels are dynamically allocated according to the index of the SCCH in each TTI, ACKCHs of resource groups 1100 of a fixed size collectively have a 1ms transmission duration 1103 to prevent the cell coverage problem. The ACKCHs for a resource group 1100 of a fixed size can be multiplexed in the code or frequency domain 1102.
Example 4
Fig. 12 illustrates an ACK/NACK resource allocation scheme according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 12, ACK/NACK for a non-persistently scheduled data channel uses ACK/NACK resources mapped to a fixed-size resource group 1202 for the SCCH of the data channel, as in the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The ACK/NACK resource can be mapped to at least one CCE forming an SCCH instead of the SCCH. In this case, the ACKCH for the data channel indicated by the SCCH uses at least one of CCEs corresponding to the formed SCCH, and the UE implicitly finds the ACK/NACK resource by CCE index.
Compared to the first embodiment of the present invention, the fourth embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that resources of the fixed-size resource group 1202 and resources of the variable-size resource group 1205 are available for at least one of ACKCH, CQICH, and other channels of the persistently scheduled data channel.
For example, when a small number of SCCHs are used due to a small number of active UEs in a cell or a small number of scheduled UEs in a TTI, a large amount of resources, except for ACK/NACK resources mapped to the used SCCHs, remain in the fixed-size resource group 1202. In this case, the node B allocates the remaining resources and the variable-size resource group 1205 to the UE through the explicit indication 1204 such that the remaining resources are used for at least one of ACKCH, CQICH, and other channels of the persistently scheduled data channel. The UE uses the remaining resources for ACKCH, CQICH, and other channels of the persistently scheduled data channel.
As apparent from the above description, the present invention increases resource usage efficiency and reduces signaling overhead by applying an appropriate ACK/NACK resource allocation and signaling scheme according to a non-persistent scheduling type or persistent scheduling type of data. The increased resources available for transmission results in increased system capacity.
While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
