At this time, when the mobile station apparatus has a physical uplink control channel and a physical random access channel as uplink channels used for the radio resource request, uplink radio resources are required for the base station apparatus.

  Prior to describing each embodiment of the present invention, techniques related to each embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below.

[Physical channel / Physical signal]
The main physical channels and physical signals used in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA will be described. A channel means a medium used for signal transmission, and a physical channel means a physical medium used for signal transmission. In the present invention, a physical channel can be used synonymously with a signal. The physical channel may be added in the future in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA, or the structure and format of the physical channel may be changed or added. However, even if changed or added, the description of each embodiment of the present invention will be provided. It does not affect.

  In EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA, scheduling of physical channels / physical signals is managed using radio frames. One radio frame is 10 ms, and one radio frame is composed of 10 subframes. Further, one subframe is composed of two slots (that is, one subframe is 1 ms, and one slot is 0.5 ms). Also, resource blocks are used as a minimum scheduling unit in which physical channels are allocated. A resource block is defined by a constant frequency region composed of a set of a plurality of subcarriers (for example, 12 subcarriers) and a region composed of a constant transmission time interval (1 slot) on the frequency axis.

  Synchronization signals (Synchronization Signals) are composed of three types of primary synchronization signals and secondary synchronization signals composed of 31 types of codes arranged alternately in the frequency domain. Depending on the combination, 504 cell identifiers (Physical Cell Identity (PCI)) for identifying the base station apparatus and frame timing for radio synchronization are shown. The mobile station device specifies the cell ID of the synchronization signal received by the cell search.

  A physical broadcast information channel (PBCH; Physical Broadcast Channel) is transmitted for the purpose of notifying control parameters (broadcast information (system information): System information) commonly used by mobile station apparatuses in a cell. Broadcast information that is not notified on the physical broadcast information channel is transmitted as a layer 3 message (system information) on the physical downlink shared channel after the radio resource is notified on the physical downlink control channel. As broadcast information, a cell global identifier (CGI) indicating a cell-specific identifier, a tracking area identifier (TAI) for managing a standby area by paging, random access setting information (such as a transmission timing timer), Common radio resource setting information and the like are notified.

  The downlink reference signal is classified into a plurality of types according to its use. For example, cell-specific reference signals (RS) are pilot signals transmitted at a predetermined power for each cell, and are downlink reference signals that are periodically repeated in the frequency domain and the time domain based on a predetermined rule. It is. A mobile station apparatus measures reception quality for every cell by receiving cell specific RS. The mobile station apparatus also uses the downlink cell-specific RS as a reference signal for demodulating the physical downlink control channel or the physical downlink shared channel transmitted simultaneously with the cell-specific RS. As a sequence used for the cell-specific RS, a sequence that can be identified for each cell is used.

  The downlink reference signal is also used for estimation of downlink propagation path fluctuations. A downlink reference signal used for estimation of propagation path fluctuation is referred to as a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The downlink reference signal set individually for each mobile station apparatus is called UE specific reference signals (URS) or Dedicated RS (DRS), and demodulates the physical downlink control channel or the physical downlink shared channel. Sometimes referred to for channel compensation processing.

  A physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is transmitted in several OFDM symbols (for example, 1 to 4 OFDM symbols) from the head of each subframe, and follows the scheduling of the base station apparatus to the mobile station apparatus. It is used for the purpose of instructing the radio resource allocation information and the adjustment amount of increase / decrease in transmission power. The mobile station apparatus monitors (monitors) a physical downlink control channel addressed to itself before transmitting / receiving a layer 3 message (paging, handover command, etc.) that is downlink data or downlink control data, and By receiving the physical downlink control channel, it is necessary to acquire radio resource allocation information called an uplink grant at the time of transmission and a downlink grant (downlink assignment) at the time of reception from the physical downlink control channel. The physical downlink control channel is configured to be transmitted in the area of the resource block that is individually assigned to the mobile station apparatus from the base station apparatus in addition to the above-described ODFM symbol. Is also possible.

  The physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) is a reception confirmation response (ACK / NACK; Acknowledgement / Negative Acknowledgment) or downlink propagation path (channel state) information transmitted on the physical downlink shared channel. (CSI; Channel State Information), used for making a scheduling request (SR) that is an uplink radio resource allocation request (radio resource request). CSI includes CQI (Channel Quality Indicator), PMI (Precoding Matrix Indicator), PTI (Precoding Type Indicator), and RI (Rank Indicator). Each indicator may be expressed as “Indication”, but its use and meaning are the same.

  The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) is used to notify the mobile station device as layer 3 message of broadcast information (system information) not notified by the paging or physical broadcast information channel in addition to downlink data. used. The radio resource allocation information of the physical downlink shared channel is indicated by the physical downlink control channel. The physical downlink shared channel is transmitted after being arranged in an OFDM symbol other than the OFDM symbol through which the physical downlink control channel is transmitted. That is, the physical downlink shared channel and the physical downlink control channel are time division multiplexed within one subframe.

  A physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) mainly transmits uplink data and uplink control data, and can also include control data such as downlink reception quality and ACK / NACK. In addition to uplink data, it is also used to notify the base station apparatus of uplink control information as a layer 3 message. Similarly to the downlink, the radio resource allocation information of the physical uplink shared channel is indicated by the physical downlink control channel.

  The uplink reference signal (uplink reference signal; uplink pilot signal, also referred to as uplink pilot channel) is transmitted from the base station apparatus to the physical uplink control channel PUCCH and / or the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH. A demodulation reference signal (DMRS) used for demodulation and a sounding reference signal (SRS) used mainly by the base station apparatus to estimate an uplink channel state are included. It is. The sounding reference signal includes a periodic sounding reference signal (Periodic SRS) and an aperiodic sounding reference signal (Aperiodic SRS).

  A physical random access channel (PRACH) is a channel used for notifying a preamble sequence and has a guard time. The preamble sequence is configured so as to express 6-bit information by preparing 64 types of sequences. The physical random access channel is used as a means for accessing the base station apparatus of the mobile station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus transmits a radio resource request when the physical uplink control channel is not set, and transmission timing adjustment information (Timing Advance (TA)) necessary to match the uplink transmission timing with the reception timing window of the base station apparatus. The physical random access channel is used to request the base station apparatus.

  Specifically, the mobile station apparatus transmits a preamble sequence using the radio resource for the physical random access channel set by the base station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus that has received the transmission timing adjustment information commonly uses transmission information (TA timer) that counts the effective time of transmission timing adjustment information that is commonly set by broadcast information (or set individually by a layer 3 message). The uplink state is managed while the transmission timing timer is in the transmission timing adjustment state during the effective time (during time measurement) and the transmission timing is not adjusted (transmission timing unadjusted state) outside the effective period (during stop).

  The layer 3 message is a control-plane message exchanged between the mobile station apparatus and the RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer of the base station apparatus, and may be used synonymously with RRC signaling or RRC message. Since other physical channels are not related to each embodiment of the present invention, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[Wireless network]
The communicable range of each frequency controlled by the base station apparatus is regarded as a cell. At this time, the areas (cells) covered by each frequency may have different widths and different shapes. Moreover, the area to cover may differ for every frequency. When a mobile station device operates in a cell and moves from one cell to another cell, it is a cell reselection procedure when not connected by radio (during non-communication), and a handover procedure when connected by radio (during communication). To move to another suitable cell. A suitable cell generally indicates a cell in which access of a mobile station apparatus is not prohibited and the downlink reception quality is the best.

  Note that carrier aggregation is communication performed by a plurality of cells using a plurality of component carriers (frequency bands), and is also referred to as cell aggregation. The mobile station apparatus may be wirelessly connected to the base station apparatus via a relay station apparatus (or repeater) for each frequency. That is, the base station apparatus of each embodiment of the present invention can be replaced with a relay station apparatus.

  A base station apparatus defined by 3GPP is referred to as a Node B (NodeB), and a base station apparatus in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA is referred to as an eNodeB (eNodeB). A mobile station apparatus in EUTRA and Advanced EUTRA defined by 3GPP is referred to as a UE (User Equipment). The base station apparatus manages, for each frequency, a cell that is an area in which the mobile station apparatus can communicate with the base station apparatus. A cell is also referred to as a macro cell, a femto cell, a pico cell, or a nano cell depending on the size of an area that can communicate with a mobile station apparatus. In addition, when the mobile station device can communicate with a certain base station device, the cell used for communication with the mobile station device among the cells of the base station device is a serving cell. This cell is referred to as a neighbor cell.

[Discontinuous Reception (DRX) control / Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) control]
In EUTRA, intermittent reception control / intermittent transmission control is performed in order to efficiently allocate radio resources to each mobile station device by the base station device and to reduce power consumption of the mobile station device. When the mobile station apparatus receives DRX parameters (intermittent reception period, intermittent reception period, retransmission period, extended reception period, etc.) from the base station apparatus, it starts DRX control.

  The intermittent reception period indicates a period for performing intermittent reception. The intermittent reception period is a period for monitoring the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) in one intermittent reception period. The retransmission period is a period in which reception of the physical downlink shared channel (PSDSCH) fails and data for retransmission may be transmitted from the base station apparatus. The mobile station apparatus performs physical downlink during this period. Monitor the link control channel. The reception extension period is a period in which monitoring of the physical downlink control channel is extended when a downlink grant / uplink grant addressed to the mobile station is received on the physical downlink control channel.

  During the DRX control, the mobile station apparatus monitors the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) during the active time. The active time indicates a period such as an intermittent reception period, a retransmission period, or a reception extension period given by the DRX parameter. The active time indicates a period determined by the state of the mobile station apparatus 1 other than the period set by the DRX parameter.

[Scheduling Request]
In EUTRA, the following two radio resource request methods are prepared as methods for a mobile station device to start transmission of uplink data to a base station device. In the first radio resource request method, when the base station apparatus assigns the configuration (configuration) related to the transmission resource of the physical uplink control channel necessary for making a radio resource request to the mobile station apparatus, the mobile station apparatus moves This is a method in which a station apparatus makes a radio resource request (requests for uplink grant transmission) to a base station apparatus using a physical uplink control channel.

  In the first radio resource request method, the mobile station apparatus has a physical uplink shared channel (uplink grant) for transmitting uplink data when uplink data is retained in the uplink buffer. Is not assigned, the radio resource request is put in a pending state (Pending). When the mobile station apparatus is in a radio resource request pending state and can transmit a physical uplink control channel (hereinafter referred to as SR-PUCCH) used for the radio resource request, the mobile station apparatus transmits SR-PUCCH. Transmit and request radio resources from the base station apparatus. The pending state of the radio resource request is canceled when the mobile station apparatus receives an uplink grant.

  When transmitting the SR-PUCCH, the mobile station apparatus increments the transmission counter of the physical uplink control channel and starts measuring the radio resource request prohibition timer (SR Prohibit Timer) according to the setting. The mobile station apparatus does not transmit SR-PUCCH when the radio resource request prohibition timer is counting.

  Further, when DRX control is applied, the mobile station apparatus transmits SR-PUCCH, and further monitors the physical downlink control channel using a period in which the radio resource request is in a pending state (Pending) as an active time. .

  A mobile station apparatus that transmits SR-PUCCH and whose radio resource request is on hold monitors a physical downlink control channel in order to detect uplink grant allocation in each subframe after SR-PUCCH transmission. In addition, the mobile station apparatus periodically transmits SR-PUCCH until a physical uplink shared channel is assigned by the uplink grant. The mobile station apparatus increments the transmission counter every time the SR-PUCCH is transmitted, and counts the number of transmissions. If the mobile station apparatus cannot receive the uplink grant from the base station apparatus even if the SR-PUCCH transmission counter reaches the maximum number of SR-PUCCH transmissions, the mobile station apparatus releases the physical uplink control channel resource, and the second radio Start resource request method. In the first radio resource request method, the mobile station apparatus is in a transmission timing adjustment state.

  In the second radio resource request method, (1) the mobile station apparatus is in a transmission timing adjustment state, but the base station apparatus allocates an uplink shared channel necessary for making a radio resource request to the mobile station apparatus. This is implemented when there is not, or (2) the TA timer is in a non-operating state (transmission timing non-adjusting state). In the second radio resource request method, the mobile station apparatus makes a radio resource request to the base station apparatus using a physical random access channel, and follows a random access procedure.

  When the physical uplink shared channel is allocated from the base station device by the first radio resource request method or the second radio resource request method, the mobile station device releases the pending state of the radio resource request.

  In consideration of the above matters, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that a specific description of known functions and configurations related to the embodiment of the present invention obscures the gist of the embodiment of the present invention. Detailed description thereof will be omitted.

A resource request control unit 110, a random access control unit 111, and an upper layer 112 are included. The upper layer 112 is a block that realizes a specific function of an RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer that performs radio resource control. The uplink buffer control unit 106, the uplink radio resource request control unit 110, and the random access control unit 111 are blocks that realize specific functions of a MAC (Medium Access Control) layer that manages the data link layer.

  Note that the mobile station apparatus 1 has a reception system block (reception unit 101, demodulation unit 102, decoding unit 103) to support simultaneous reception of a plurality of frequencies (frequency band, frequency bandwidth) by carrier aggregation, and In order to support simultaneous transmission of a plurality of frequencies (frequency bands, frequency bandwidths), a plurality of transmission system blocks (encoding unit 107, modulation unit 108, transmission unit 109) may be provided.

  Regarding reception, mobile station apparatus control information is input from the upper layer 112 to the control unit 105. The mobile station apparatus control information is information necessary for radio communication control of the mobile station apparatus 1 configured by the reception control information and the transmission control information. The radio connection resource setting, cell-specific transmission individually transmitted from the base station apparatus 2 The higher layer 112 inputs the information to the control unit 105 as necessary. The control unit 105 appropriately inputs reception control information that is control information related to reception to the reception unit 101, the demodulation unit 102, and the decoding unit 103.

  The reception control information includes information such as DRX control information, reception timing for each channel, multiplexing method, and radio resource arrangement information in addition to reception frequency band information.

  The reception signal is received by the reception unit 101. The receiving unit 101 receives a signal in the frequency band specified by the reception control information. Moreover, when the radio | wireless resource request | requirement prohibition timer setting mentioned later is applied as reception control information, the receiving part 101 monitors PDCCH according to a radio | wireless resource request | requirement prohibition timer. The received signal is input to the demodulation unit 102. Demodulation section 102 demodulates the received signal, inputs the signal to decoding section 103 to correctly decode downlink data and downlink control data, and inputs each decoded data to upper layer 112. Each data is also input to the measurement processing unit 104.

  The measurement processing unit 104 measures a measurement value of downlink reference signal reception quality (SIR, SINR, RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, path loss, etc.) for each cell (component carrier), a physical downlink control channel, or a physical downlink shared channel. The measurement result information is generated based on the measurement result of the reception error rate.

  Also, regarding transmission, mobile station apparatus control information that is a control parameter for controlling each block is input from the upper layer 112 to the control unit 105, and transmission control information that is control information regarding transmission is transmitted to the uplink buffer control unit 106. Are appropriately input to the encoding unit 107, the modulation unit 108, and the transmission unit 109. The transmission control information includes information such as DTX control information, coding information, modulation information, transmission frequency band information, transmission timing for each channel, multiplexing method, and radio resource allocation information as uplink scheduling information of the transmission signal. ing.

  Random access setting information is input from the upper layer 112 to the random access control unit 111. The random access setting information includes preamble information, radio resource information for transmission of a physical random access channel (power adjustment parameter, maximum preamble retransmission count, etc.), and the like. Further, the upper layer 112 manages transmission timing adjustment information and a transmission timing timer used for uplink transmission timing adjustment, and states of uplink transmission timing (transmission timing adjustment) for each cell (or for each cell group and each TA group). Status or transmission timing non-adjusted state). The transmission timing adjustment information and the transmission timing timer are included in the transmission control information.

  When it is necessary to manage a plurality of uplink transmission timing states, the upper layer 112 manages transmission timing adjustment information corresponding to the uplink transmission timing of each of the plurality of cells (or cell groups and TA groups). To do.

  The generated transmission data (uplink data and uplink control data) is input from the upper layer 112 to the uplink buffer control unit 106 at an arbitrary timing. At this time, the uplink buffer control unit 106 calculates the amount of input transmission data (uplink buffer amount). Resource request setting information is set in the uplink radio resource request control unit 110 by the higher layer 112. The resource request setting information includes at least transmission counter setting information and radio resource request prohibition timer information. Further, when the transmission data is input to the uplink buffer control unit 106, the uplink buffer control unit 106 notifies the uplink radio resource request control unit 110 of the generation of the transmission data, thereby transmitting to the uplink buffer. Signals that data exists.

  The uplink radio resource request control unit 110 determines whether radio resources necessary for transmitting the input transmission data are allocated. The uplink radio resource request control unit 110 generates one of a physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, a radio resource request using a physical uplink control channel (SR-PUCCH), or a physical random access channel based on radio resource allocation. Select and request control processing for transmitting the selected channel to the encoding unit 107 and / or the random access control unit 111.

  That is, when radio resources have already been allocated and transmission data can be transmitted using the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, the encoding unit 107 allocates radio resources that have been allocated in accordance with an instruction from the uplink radio resource request control unit 110. The transmission data corresponding to is acquired from the uplink buffer control unit 106, encoded, and output to the modulation unit 108. Alternatively, when radio resources are not allocated and when a radio resource request (SR-PUCCH) using a physical uplink control channel is possible, the encoding unit 107 performs SR- in accordance with an instruction from the uplink radio resource request control unit 110. Control data necessary for transmission of PUCCH is encoded and output to modulation section 108.

  Alternatively, when the radio resource is not allocated and the radio resource request (SR-PUCCH) by the physical uplink control channel is impossible, the encoding unit 107 performs the random access procedure for the random access control unit 111. Instruct the start. At this time, the encoding unit 107 generates a preamble sequence transmitted through the physical random access channel based on the random access data information input from the random access control unit 111. The encoding unit 107 appropriately encodes each data according to the transmission control information and outputs the data to the modulation unit 108.

The transmission unit 109 maps the output of the modulation unit 108 to the frequency domain, converts the frequency domain signal into a time domain signal, and performs power amplification on a carrier wave of a predetermined frequency. The transmission unit 109 also adjusts the uplink transmission timing according to the transmission timing adjustment information for each cell (also for each cell group and each TA group) input from the higher layer 112. The physical uplink shared channel in which the uplink control data is arranged can include, for example, a layer 3 message (radio resource control message; RRC message) in addition to the user data.

  In FIG. 1, other components of the mobile station apparatus 1 are omitted because they are not particularly strongly related to the present embodiment, but a plurality of blocks having other functions necessary for operating as the mobile station apparatus 1 are omitted. It is clear to have as a component.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the base station apparatus 2 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The base station apparatus includes a reception unit 201, a demodulation unit 202, a decoding unit 203, a control unit 204, a coding unit 205, a modulation unit 206, a transmission unit 207, an upper layer 208, and a network signal transmission / reception unit 209. Note that the base station apparatus 2 includes a reception system block (reception unit 201, demodulation unit 202, decoding unit 203) and a transmission system block (encoding unit) in order to support a plurality of frequencies (frequency bands and frequency bandwidths). 205, a modulation unit 206, and a transmission unit 207) may be provided.

  Upper layer 208 inputs downlink data and downlink control data to encoding section 205. The encoding unit 205 encodes the input data and inputs it to the modulation unit 206. Modulation section 206 modulates the encoded signal. The signal output from the modulation unit 206 is input to the transmission unit 207. Transmitter 207 maps the input signal to the frequency domain, then converts the frequency domain signal to a time domain signal, transmits the amplified signal on a carrier having a predetermined frequency, and transmits the signal. The physical downlink shared channel in which downlink control data is arranged typically constitutes a layer 3 message (RRC message).

  In addition, the reception unit 201 converts a signal received from the mobile station device 1 into a baseband digital signal. When cells having a plurality of different transmission timings are set for the mobile station apparatus 1, the reception unit 201 receives signals at different timings for each cell (also for each cell group and each TA group). The digital signal converted by the reception unit 201 is input to the demodulation unit 202 and demodulated. The signal demodulated by the demodulation unit 202 is then input to the decoding unit 203 and decoded, and the correctly decoded uplink control data and uplink data are output to the upper layer 208.

  Base station apparatus control information necessary for control of each block is information necessary for radio communication control of the base station apparatus 2 configured by reception control information and transmission control information, and a higher-level network apparatus (MME or gateway apparatus). , OAM) and system parameters, and the upper layer 208 inputs to the control unit 204 as necessary.

  The control unit 204 transmits base station apparatus control information related to transmission to each block of the encoding unit 205, modulation unit 206, and transmission unit 207 as transmission control information, and base station apparatus control information related to reception to the reception control information. Are appropriately input to each block of the receiving unit 201, the demodulating unit 202, and the decoding unit 203. The RRC of the base station device 2 exists as part of the upper layer 208.

  On the other hand, the network signal transmission / reception unit 209 transmits (transfers) or receives a control message or user data between the base station apparatuses 2 or between the upper network apparatus and the base station apparatus 2. In FIG. 2, other components of the base station device 2 are omitted because they are not particularly strongly related to the present embodiment, but a plurality of blocks having other functions necessary for operating as the base station device 2 are omitted. It is clear to have as a component.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating exchange of information related to transmission / reception control between the mobile station apparatus 1 and the base station apparatus 2 in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 3 shows a state transition of a radio resource request (SR state in the figure) when the mobile station apparatus 1 makes a radio resource request to the base station apparatus 2, and a timer indicating an SR-PUCCH transmission prohibited section. It is the figure explaining a horizontal axis as a time axis about a state (radio resource request prohibition timer in a figure) and a transition (PDCCH monitoring state in a figure) of a monitoring state (active time) of a physical downlink control channel. Further, DRX / DTX control is applied to the mobile station apparatus 1.

  First, transmission / reception control of the mobile station apparatus 1 from timing T11 to timing T12 will be described. This section shows transmission / reception control of the mobile station apparatus 1 when DRX control is applied to the mobile station apparatus 1 and no transmission data is generated by the timing T11. The mobile station apparatus 1 starts monitoring PDCCH at timing T11 based on the set DRX control setting (PDCCH monitoring state: ON). The mobile station apparatus 1 needs to continue monitoring the PDCCH for a predetermined duration P01 from the timing T11 (PDCCH monitoring state: ON), but may not monitor the PDCCH after the duration P01 has elapsed.

  Next, transmission / reception control of the mobile station apparatus 1 from timing T12 to timing T17 will be described. This section indicates transmission / reception control when it is determined that DRX control is applied to the mobile station apparatus 1 and SR-PUCCH is transmitted for a radio resource request. In other words, in the transmission / reception control of the mobile station apparatus 1 in this section, when transmission data is generated, the transmission data is not in a state in which the transmission data can be transmitted on the physical uplink shared channel PUSCH, and the SR-PUCCH can be used. This is transmission / reception control that is applied when the uplink radio resource request control unit 110 determines that there is one.

  When transmission data is generated at timing T12, the SR state of the mobile station apparatus 1 is changed to the Pending state. Although omitted in FIG. 3 for simplification of description, the SR state of the mobile station apparatus 1 before the timing T12 is managed as a non-pending state. The mobile station apparatus 1 whose SR state has changed to the Pending state transmits SR-PUCCH (SR11) at the latest timing T13 at which SR-PUCCH can be transmitted. At this time, the mobile station apparatus 1 increments the counter of the number of SR transmissions.

  The mobile station apparatus 1 determines the transmission timing (timing T13) of SR-PUCCH based on the transmission setting of SR-PUCCH. Moreover, the mobile station apparatus 1 starts a radio | wireless resource request | requirement prohibition timer simultaneously with transmission of SR-PUCCH (SR11). The section in which the radio resource request prohibition timer counts (radio resource request prohibition timer: running) is an SR-PUCCH transmission prohibition section and is a subframe monitoring section for each PDCCH. The continuous time P02 set by the base station apparatus 2 is applied to the radio resource request prohibition timer. The mobile station apparatus 1 monitors the PDCCH every subframe from timing T13 to timing T14 when the radio resource request prohibition timer expires (PDCCH monitoring state: ON). That is, the mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH and monitors the PDCCH every subframe with the active time as long as the radio resource request prohibition timer is operating (or the radio resource request prohibition timer is running). To do. Furthermore, in other words, the mobile station apparatus 1 receives the PDCCH transmitted from the base station apparatus 2 every subframe in the section from the timing T13 to the timing T14, and allocates the uplink radio resource notified using the PDCCH. It is monitored whether signal information (uplink grant (UL grant)) to be used is detected.

  The value of the radio resource request prohibition timer may be expressed based on an SR-PUCCH radio resource interval (interval from one SR-PUCCH radio resource to the next SR-PUCCH radio resource: SR period).

  FIG. 3 shows a case where the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is set to 1 / n. When the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is set to 1 / n from the base station apparatus 2 (that is, when the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is less than the SR-PUCCH radio resource interval), the mobile station apparatus 1 The PDCCH is monitored every subframe with an active time of 1 / n from the transmission of SR-PUCCH to the next SR-PUCCH radio resource. At this time, the SR-PUCCH can be transmitted from the next SR-PUCCH radio resource.

  Also, for example, when the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is set to 1 from the base station apparatus 2, the period from when the mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH to the radio resource of the next SR-PUCCH As active time, PDCCH is monitored every subframe (section from timing T13 to timing T15 in FIG. 3). At this time, the SR-PUCCH can be transmitted from the next SR-PUCCH radio resource (SR12).

  Further, for example, when the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is set to 2 from the base station apparatus 2, the period from when the mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH to the next SR-PUCCH radio resource Is the active time, and the PDCCH is monitored every subframe (section from timing T13 to timing T17 in FIG. 3). At this time, the SR-PUCCH can be transmitted from the SR-PUCCH radio resource (SR13) which is the next two.

  When the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is given as an integer (0, 1, 2, etc.) from the base station apparatus 2, the mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH, and the radio resource request is suspended. When the PDCCH is monitored using the period of (Pending) as an active time, and the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer is given by the base station apparatus 2 as a value other than an integer (for example, 1 / n), the mobile station The apparatus 1 may transmit SR-PUCCH, and monitor the PDCCH every subframe with the active time as the radio resource request prohibition timer is operating.

  In addition, when the SR-PUCCH radio resource interval (SR Period) is set at a long interval (for example, 80 ms (milliseconds) or more), the mobile station device 1 transmits the SR-PUCCH, and the radio resource request prohibition timer The PDCCH may be monitored for each subframe with the active time as a period during which is operated. Furthermore, the SR-PUCCH radio resource interval (SR Period) is set at a long interval (for example, 80 ms (milliseconds) or more), and the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer from the base station apparatus 2 is other than an integer (for example, 1 / n The mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH, and the PDCCH is monitored every subframe with the radio resource request prohibition timer operating as an active time. good.

  In addition, when the SR-PUCCH radio resource interval (SR Period) is set at a long interval (for example, 80 ms (milliseconds) or more), the mobile station device 1 transmits the SR-PUCCH, and the radio resource request prohibition timer The PDCCH may be monitored for each subframe with a part of the period in which P is operating as the active time. For example, the mobile station apparatus 1 may monitor the PDCCH every subframe using the 1 / n interval of the radio resource request prohibition timer after the transmission of the SR-PUCCH as an active time.

  Further, an additional parameter may be set such that the PDCCH is monitored in some subframes from when the radio resource request prohibition timer is activated until it expires. For example, the PDCCH may be monitored only in even-numbered subframes, odd-numbered subframes, or some set subframes when the radio resource request prohibition timer is operating. Alternatively, a section obtained by adding an offset value to the radio resource request prohibition timer may be regarded as the active time. The additional parameter may be set individually for each mobile station device 1 or may be fixedly set by the system, and may be set autonomously from information unique to the mobile station device 1.

  Note that the value of the radio resource request prohibition timer may be expressed in time (ms (milliseconds)). Further, it may be expressed by the number of frames or the number of subframes.

  Returning to FIG. 3, when radio resource allocation (uplink grant (UL grant)) by the physical downlink control channel PDCCH addressed to the own station is not received from the base station apparatus 2 in the section of the continuous time P02, the mobile station apparatus 1 From timing T14 to timing T15 when the next SR-PUCCH radio resource is set, PDCCH may not be monitored. The timing T15 where the SR-PUCCH radio resource is present is equal to the timing when the SR-PUCCH transmission interval (SR Period) has elapsed from the SR-PUCCH (SR11) transmitted immediately before by the mobile station apparatus 1.

  By configuring in this way, the mobile station apparatus 1 sets a section (section from timing T14 to timing T15) in which the physical downlink control channel PDCCH need not be monitored. It is possible to suppress power consumption used for the purpose. In particular, as the SR-PUCCH transmission interval (SR Period) is longer, the radio resource utilization efficiency and the power consumption suppression effect increase.

  Then, the mobile station apparatus 1 transmits SR-PUCCH (SR12) at timing T15 which is an SR-PUCCH transmission interval (SR Period). At this time, the mobile station device 1 increments the counter of the number of SR transmissions. Also, the mobile station apparatus 1 starts a radio resource request prohibition timer simultaneously with the transmission of the SR-PUCCH (SR12), and performs the same reception control described in the section from the timing T13 to the timing T15 regarding the PDCCH monitoring from the timing T15 to the timing T17. This also applies to the interval and the following intervals.

  If a special connection procedure such as a handover or a radio link failure does not occur, the mobile station apparatus 1 can receive an uplink grant (uplink grant) from the base station apparatus 2 until the SR-PUCCH continuous transmission count reaches the maximum transmission count. Similar reception control is repeated until (UL grant) is received (detected).

  In FIG. 3, when the mobile station apparatus 1 receives the uplink grant (UL grant) from the base station apparatus 2 at the timing R11 in the section of the continuous time P02 corresponding to the SR-PUCCH (SR13) transmitted at the timing T17. An example of That is, the timing R11 at which the base station apparatus 2 transmits the uplink grant to the mobile station apparatus 1 is within the operation period of the radio resource request prohibition timer applied to the mobile station apparatus 1. At this time, the mobile station apparatus 1 changes the SR state from the Pending state to the Non-Pending state, further stops the radio resource request prohibition timer, and ends the active time by the radio resource request prohibition timer. Then, the active time in the reception extension period of the DRX control is continued, and the operation returns to the operation of continuing to monitor the PDCCH. (PDCCH monitoring state: ON).

  The mobile station apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can be regarded as a section in which the physical downlink control channel need not be monitored other than the section in which the timer is counting. Further, the base station device 2 can transmit a physical downlink control channel to the mobile station device 1 in a section in which the timer is counting after receiving the SR-PUCCH, and the timer is counting The physical downlink control channel may not be transmitted to the mobile station device 1 except for the section.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the mobile station apparatus 1 is configured so that the physical station for radio resource request is based on the setting of the physical uplink control channel for radio resource request notified from the base station apparatus 2. After transmitting the uplink control channel, a section in which the physical downlink control channel is not monitored can be set based on a timer, so that the power consumption of the mobile station apparatus 1 can be reduced while improving the utilization efficiency of radio resources. it can.

For example, this uplink transmission scheme can be applied to both communication systems of the FDD (frequency division duplex) scheme and the TDD (time division duplex) scheme.
