Abstract

A signal encoding method and device and a method for encoding a joint feedback signal are provided. The signal encoding method includes the following steps. When two carriers are configured with multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO), Hybrid 5 Automatic Repeat reQuest-ACKnowledgement (HARQ-ACK) signals of the two carriers are combined into a joint feedback signal. The joint feedback signal is mapped into a codeword according to predetermined mapping relationship between signals and codewords. Therefore, through the method for combining and encoding feedback signals of two carriers for transmission on a code channel in a dual cell (DC)-MIMO mode, bit error ratio (BER) 10 and detection error cost are decreased, power overhead is saved, and a cubic metric (CM) value of the system is not affected, thereby enhancing the performance of the system.

Description

- SIGNAL ENCODING METHOD AND DEVICE, METHOD FOR ENCODING JOINT FEEDBACK SIGNAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION 5 The present application is a divisional application from Australian patent Application No. 2009341504, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and more particularly, to a signal encoding method, a signal encoding device, and a method for 10 encoding a joint feedback signal. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a process of a Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ), a User Equipment (UE) monitors a High Speed-Shared Control Channel (HS-SCCH). If no data is received, the UE performs no action, which can be regarded as that the UE does not send information to 15 a base station (Node B). In this case, the Node B considers that feedback information is discontinuous transmission (DTX) information. If data is received, data on a high speed-downlink shared channel (HS-DSCH) is detected according to control channel information. If the received data is correct, Acknowledgement (ACK) information is sent to the Node B. If the received data is incorrect, Negative Acknowledgement (NACK) 20 information is sent to the Node B. The DTX, ACK, NACK information are generally referred to as Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request-Acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) information. The sent information is encoded and sent to the Node B through an uplink High Speed-Dedicated Physical Control Channel (HS-DPCCH). The Node B receives and decodes the feedback information. If the feedback information is ACK, new data is sent. 25 If the feedback information is NACK, the data is retransmitted. If the feedback 1 information is DTX, the new data is resent. In the technology of Dual Carrier (Dual Cell)-High Speed Downlink Packet Access (DC-HSDPA), if downlink multi-carriers use two HS-DPCCH channels for feedback, a case that power is limited occurs, which influences the coverage. In order to save the power 5 resources, in a case that the UE is not configured with Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO), a feasible technical solution is that two carriers of a dual-carrier only use one HS-DPCCH for information feedback. Thus, joint encoding needs to be performed on feedback information of the two carriers (cells). The encoding is to map various HARQ-ACK joint signals into a 0-1 sequence with 10 bits. 10 In Release 5 (R5) of the Technical Specification (TS) 25.212 in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Protocol, an encoding scheme for a single-carrier configured with no MIMO is provided. In this case, three signals need to be fed back in total: ACK, NACK, and DTX. The ACK and NACK need to use a codeword, as shown in Table 1-1: Table 1-1 HARQ-ACK Encoding Scheme for Single-Carrier Configured with No 15 MIMO ACK 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NACK 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Release 6 (R6) of the TS25.212 in the 3GPP Protocol, a preamble (PRE) and postamble (POST) sending mode is introduced to decrease transmit power of the UE, so that two new signals PRE and POST are introduced and codewords of the two signals are further used in Release 7 (R7) and Release 8 (R8). 20 In R7 of the TS25.212 in the 3GPP Protocol, an encoding scheme for a single-carrier configured with MIMO is provided. The scheme includes a single stream mode and a dual stream mode, in which three signals and five signals need to be fed back respectively. The signals fed back in the single stream mode are ACK, NACK, and DTX. The dual stream mode includes a stream 1 and a stream 2, and the fed back signals can be represented in the 2 form of "stream 1 feedback signalstream 2 feedback signal". Specifically, the signals fed back in the dual stream mode may be ACKACK, ACKNACK, NACKACK, NACKNACK, and DTX. Where, the DTX represents that feedback signals of the stream 1 and the stream 2 are DTX. Besides the DTX, the feedback scheme needs six codewords 5 in total. When the PRE/POST sending mode is employed, the PRE/POST is the same as that in R6, as shown in Table 1-2. Table 1-2 HARQ-ACK Encoding Scheme for Single-Carrier Configured with MIMO Single Stream Mode (1 transmission block) ACK 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 NACK 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dual Stream Mode (2 transmission blocks) Stream 1 Stream 2 Feedback Feedback Signal Signal ACK ACK 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 ACK NACK 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 NACK ACK 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 NACK NACK 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 PRE/POST Indication Information PRE 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 POST 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 In R8 of the TS25.212 in the 3GPP Protocol, an encoding scheme for a dual-carrier configured with no MIMO is provided. The scheme needs to feed back 9 signals, and 8 10 codewords are required (the DTX does not need to use any codeword). When the PRE/POST sending mode is employed, the PRE/POST is the same as that in R6, as shown in Table 1-3: 3 Table 1-3 HARQ-ACK Encoding Scheme for Dual-Carrier Configured with No MINO The UE only detects data blocks on a primary carrier.

This method needs to consume too much power that is configured to feed back HARQ-ACK signals. Usually, the consumed power doubles that consumed by the single-carrier and a system cubic metric (CM) value is increased, which affects performance of the system. 4 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods for encoding joint feedback signals of two carriers and giving feedback on a code channel in a DC-IMNO mode. 5 In an embodiment of the present invention, a signal encoding method is provided, which includes the following steps.

the encoded feedback signal on a code channel in a DC-INMO mode. In this encoding method, the system has lower bit error ratio (BER) and detection error cost, so that power overhead is saved and a CM value of the 5 system is not affected, thereby enhancing the performance of the system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG 1 is a flow chart of a signal encoding method according to a first embodiment of the present invention; FIG 2 is a schematic structural of an HARQ-ACK joint encoder to which a second 10 embodiment of a signal encoding method is applicable according to the present invention; and FIG 3 is a schematic structural view of a signal encoding device according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 15 A first embodiment of a signal encoding method of the present invention is illustrated below. FIG 1 is a flow chart of the signal encoding method according to a first embodiment of 49 the present invention. As shown in FIG 1, the method specifically includes the following steps. In Step 101, when two carriers are configured with MION4, HARQ-ACK signals of the two carriers are combined into a joint feedback signal. 5 In Step 102, according to predetermined mapping relationship between signals and codewords, the joint feedback signal is mapped into a codeword. Step 101 may specifically be as follows: The HARQ-ACK signals of the two carriers in the dual-carrier are combined into carrier feedback signals corresponding to the carriers, respectively. Specifically, if each carrier bears a plurality of signal streams, the 10 HARQ-ACK signals of each carrier are combined into a carrier feedback signal. Taking a dual stream as an example, that is, HARQ-ACK signals of two streams of each carrier are combined into a carrier feedback signal. The two carrier feedback signals are then combined into a joint feedback signal. In this embodiment, a method for encoding feedback signals of two carriers in a 15 DC-IMNO mode is provided, where a single-code channel is employed, so that power overhead is saved and a CM value of the system is not affected, thereby enhancing the performance of the system. A second embodiment of a signal encoding method of the present invention is illustrated below. 20 FIG 2 is a schematic structural of an HARQ-ACK joint encoder to which the second embodiment of the signal encoding method is applicable according to the present invention. In a DC-MNO mode, a Node B at most sends user data to UE on both Primary and Secondary carriers at the same time and the carriers both employ the IMNO technology. In other words, the UE at most receives data of four streams on the two carriers. After 25 receiving the data, the UE needs to give feedback (the feedback information includes DTX, ACK, and NACK) according to data reception cases, respectively. The UE integrates the 50 feedback informations of the two carriers and encodes the feedback information into a 10-bit 0-1 sequence, which is fed back to the Node B through an HS-DPCCH. The Node B selects a decoding space according to the sending mode and performs decoding. Firstly, the HARQ-ACK signals of the two carriers are combined into carrier feedback 5 signals corresponding to the carriers, respectively. The process is specifically described below. As shown in FIG 2, a Primary-carrier-signal synthesis submodule and an Secondary-carrier-signal synthesis submodule combine HARQ-ACK signals on a Primary carrier and an Secondary carrier into carrier feedback signals corresponding to the carriers, 10 respectively. That is to say, functions of the two submodules are configured to map feedback signals for two data streams on a carrier into a carrier feedback signal, respectivley. Each carrier has two data sending modes, namely, a single stream mode and a dual stream mode. In the single stream mode, feedback is not given for the first stream (that is, the feedback signal for the first stream is DTX by default) and the feedback signal only gives 15 feedback for the second stream. A set of feedback signals for each stream of each carrier is {DTX, ACK, NACK}, so that a set of carrier feedback signals for each carrier is {DTX, ACK, NACK, ACKACK, ACKNACK, NACKACK, NACKNACK}. The ACKACK represents that the feedback signal for the first stream on the carrier is ACK and the feedback signal for the 20 second stream is ACK. The carrier feedback signals are numbered, respectively, and for details, reference can be made to Table 1-10. Table 1-10 shows mapping relationship between carrier feedback signals and numbers in the MIMO mode. Table 1-10 Mapping Relationship Between Carrier Feedback Signals and Numbers in MIMO Mode Carrier Single Single Feedback Stream/Dual Dual Stream Signal Stream Stream 51 ACK NACK DTX ACKACK ACKNACK NACKACK NACKNACK Number 1 2 0 3 4 5 6 For mapping process of combining the feedback signals of the two streams into a carrier feedback signal, reference can be made to in Table 1-11.

S1 and S2 represent numbers corresponding to feedback signals of the first stream and the second stream, respectively, S represents a number corresponding to the carrier feedback signal, and S=2*S1+S2. 10 It is assumed that a carrier feedback signal can be represented by a two-dimensional vector, S=(S1, S2), which is corresponding to the feedback signals, for example, ACK=(DTX, ACK) and ACKNACK=(ACK, NACK). The mapping relationships shown in Tables 1-10 and 1-11 are merely specific examples, and the embodiment is not limited to the mapping relationships shown in Tables 15 1-10 and 1-11, and other schemes may also be employed. Secondly, the two carrier feedback signals are combined into a joint feedback signal. The process is specifically described below. 52 As shown in FIG 2, the joint-feedback-signal synthesis submodule combines the feedback signals of the two carriers into a joint feedback signal, that is to say, the UE integrates the feedback signals of the two carriers into a joint feedback signal, and an encoder submodule further encodes the joint feedback signal, namely, mapping the joint 5 feedack signal into a 10-bit 0-1 sequence. When the feedback signals of two carriers are both DTX, the joint signal is not mapped to a codeword or it is regarded that the joint signal is mapped into DTX. Sa and Ss represent numbers corresponding to feedback signal of a primary carrier and feedback signal of a secondary carrier, respectively; al and a2 represent feedback signals of 10 the first stream and the second stream on the primary carrier, respectively; and bI and b2 represent feedback signals of the first stream and the second stream on the secondary carrier, respectively. For ease of illustration, one joint feedback signal can be represented by a four-dimensional vector, for example, Sig=(al, a2, bl, b2), or represented by a two-dimensional vector, for example, Sig=(Sa,Ss), in which signals corresponding to al, a2, 15 bl, b2E {DTX, ACK, NACK}, signals corresponding to Sa, SsE {DTX, ACK, NACK, ACKACK, ACKNACK, NACKACK, NACKNACK}, and Sa=2al+a2, Ss=2bl+b2. Assume Sa=i, Ss=j, so that the joint feedback signal is represented as Xj. The primary carrier feedback signal of the joint feedback signal is a signal corresponding to the numbered i, and the secondary carrier feedback signal of the joint feedback signal is a 20 signal corresponding to the number j, in which 0<i<6, 0sj<6. The signals corresponding to the numbers 0-6 are DTX, ACK, NACK, ACKACK, ACKNACK, NACKACK, and NACKNACK in sequence, or simplified into D, A, N, AA, AN, NA, and NN. For example, X 34 represents that the primary carrier sends a signal numbered as number 3 and the secondary carrier sends a signal numbered as number 4, that is, 25 ACKACK/ACKNACK, which is simplified as AA/AN. For mapping process of combining the two carrier feedback signals into a joint feedback signal, reference can be made to Table 1-12. 53 Table 1-12 Mapping Relationship Between Two Carrier Feedback Signals and Joint Feedback Signal Single/ Secondary Single Dual Dual Stream Steam Stream Primary ACK NAC DTX AC ACK NAC NACK AC NACK NAC K K K K Sige ACK X11 X12 Xio X13 X14 X15 X16 Stream NACK X21 X22 Xo X2X4X5X2 Single!

Therefore, nine combinations of data sending modes for the Node B on the two carriers include DTX-DTX, single stream-DTX, DTX-single stream, single stream-single stream, dual stream-DTX, DTX-dual stream, dual stream-single stream, single stream-dual stream, and dual stream-dual stream mode. In the DTX-DTX, no data is sent, so that the effective 10 data sending modes are the rest eight combinations except for the DTX-DTX mode. A signal space in each combination of the sending modes is corresponding to an area in Table 1-12. For example, a signal space corresponding to the dual stream-dual stream sending mode is a set of signals in a 5*5 matrix at the bottom right corner of the Table 1-12, and the rest sending modes may be deduced by analogy. 54 Thirdly, the joint feedback signal is mapped into a codeword according to predetermined mapping relationship between signals and codewords. The process is specifically described in the following. In this step, the encoder submodule maps the joint feedback signal into a 10-bit 0-1 5 sequence, that is, a codeword. A mapping table of joint feedback signals and specific codewords needs to be provided for the mapping of the joint feedback signal into the codeword. A codeword corresponding to the input joint feedback signal is found by looking up the provided signal-codeword mapping table, and then the codeword is output. 10 The mapping table of joint feedback signals and codewords may be provided in the following manner. A codebook structure satisfying a certain code distance relation is found for each sending mode and a mapping relationship between each sending mode and a codeword of the codebook structure is established, so as to obtain a mapping relationship between the signal in Table 1-12 and a specific codeword. 15 First, in the process of searching for a codebook structure, a performance evaluation index of an encoding scheme may be considered, which includes BER and detection error cost. The encoding design is intended to minimize the BER and the detection error cost by selecting a suitable codebook structure and a suitable mapping scheme. The BER includes a single-code BER and a system BER. The single-code BER 20 denotes a probability that signals Xj sent by UE are incorrectly decoded into other signals by the Node B, and the system BER denotes a weighted average value of the single-code BER, which are shown in the following two formulations: Single-code BER: Pe(S) =1- Pt(S,S) Pe(Q) = Pg ?(S)- Pe(S) System BER: SeQ 55 where Q represents a signal space in a certain sending mode, Pgen(S) represents a probability that a signal S occurs in a certain sending mode, and Pt(S, S) represents a probability that sent signals S are correctly decoded into S. The detection error cost denotes cost additionally caused by incorrect decoding of the 5 signal. Time cost is mainly considered herein, which is embodied in decrease of a transmission rate due to retransmission in a radio link control (RLC) layer or a physical layer. The signal detection error cost can be referred to in Table 1-13. Table 1-13 Signal Detection Error Cost Signal after being decoded by Node B ACK NACK DTX ACK C 11 =0 C 12 =L Cio=L Signal sent NACK

21 =H

C

22 =0 C20=0 by UE DTX Coi=H C 0 2 =0 C00=0 In Table 1-13, Cj represents cost that a signal numbered as i is detected to be a signal 10 numbered as j (Cij may also be depicted as C(i, j)), H represents cost of retransmission in the RLC layer caused by signal detection error, L represents cost of retransmission in the physical layer caused by signal detection error, and 0 represents no cost. H and L may be regarded as constants, and H is much larger than L, for example, H1 OL. Assume signals S=(Sal, Sa2, Sbl, Sb2) and R=(Ral, Ra2, Rbl, Rb2), so that the 15 detection error cost Cost(S, R) that S is detected to be R may be calculated through the following formulation: Cost(S, R)=C(Sal, Ral)+C(Sa2, Ra2)+C(Sbl, Rbl)+C(Sb2, Rb2) Assume that Pt(S, R) represents a probability that the sent signal S is received as R. When neither of S and R is DTX, it can be basically regarded that Pt(S, R) is a function of 56 code distances of codewords corresponding to the signals, that is, Pt(S, R)=f(d(S, R)). When S=DTX and R DTX, Pt(S, R)=Pt(DTX, R)=Pf, which is a false alarm probability. When S DTX and R=DTX, Pt(S, R)=Pt(S, DTX)=Pm, which is a false dismissal probability. In predetermined conditions, pair-wise error probability, false alarm 5 probability, and false dismissal probability of the codewords can be obtained simulatively through a computer. Therefore, a total detection error cost Pr during operation of the system in a certain sending mode is obtained by: Pr = I P,,,(S) Y Pt(S,R)-Cost(S,R) SEQ SGQ 10 where Q represents a signal space in the sending mode. According to the calculation method of the BER and the detection error cost, in the embodiments of the present invetion, codebook structures of smaller BER and detection error cost are selected. Codewords included in the codebook structures are A1-A6, B1-B6, C1-C6, D1-D6, El, Fl, G1-G16, and H1-H16. Each codeword is a 10-bit 0-1 15 sequence. Code distance relations between the codewords in the codebook structures can be referred to in Tables 1-4 to 1-9. According to the codewords defined above, a mapping relationship between sending modes and codebook structures may be established, for example, as shown in Table 1-14. Table 1-14 Mapping Relationship Between Sending Modes and Codebook Structures Mode Optional Codebook Structure Single Stream-DTX A-B or 2A...

Dual Stream-Dual Stream 6A-6B-6C-6D, xG-yH (x+y=24)... In Table 1-14, the expression xA-yB-zC-uD-...={Al-Ax, B1~ By, C1~Cz, D1-Du, } represents a codebook structure. If the coefficient is 0, the corresponding item is omitted, for example, 4A={A1, A2, A3, A4}; 6A-3C-3D-E-F={A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, Cl, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3, El, F1}, and the rest may be deduced by analogy. 5 Furthermore, each codebook structure corresponding to the sending mode has a pluralty of equivalent codebook structures. The so-called "equivalent" means that if code distance matrices formed by codewords in the two codebook structures arranged according to a certain sequence are identical, the two codebook structures are referred to as equivalent codebook structures, and the specific definition is as follow: 10 If codebook structures {Xi} and {Yj} are equivalent, a mapping relationship CP !i)->!Y)d(X, Y) = dc(),pYj d(XY) exists, which satisfies d(,where d , is a code distance between Xi and Yj. For example, an equivalent codebook structure of the codebook structure A-B may be C-D or E-F, and an equivalent codebook structure of the codebook structure A-B-6C may be 15 6A-C-D, in which as mapping is performed one by one according to predetermined sequences {Al, BI, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6} and {Cl, Dl, Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6}, the formed code distance matrices are the same. As long as the formed code distance matrices are the same, the performances of the schemes obtained for the two codebook structures when mapped with the signals are the 58 same, so that any two equivalent codebook structures can be regarded as the same codebook structure type. A codebook structure type may be represented by a random codebook structure of this type. For example, if A-B, C-D, and E-F are equivalent to each other and are of the same codebook structure type, so that a random codebook structure of A-B, C-D, 5 and E-F can be used to represent the codebook structure type. In a determiend encoding scheme, each mode is uniquely corresponding to a codebook structure type. That is to say, codewords included in the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-DTX or DTX-single stream sending mode are Al and BI, or Al and A2, or codebook structures equivalent to the codebook structure. Codewords included in the 10 codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-DTX or DTX-dual stream sending mode are Al, A2, A3, and A4, or Al, A2, A3, and Cl, or Al, A2, Cl, and C2, or Al, B1, Cl, and C2, or Al, B1, Cl, and Dl, or codebook structures equivalent to the codebook structure. Codewords included in the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-single stream sending mode are Al, A2, B1, B2, Cl, C2, Dl, and D2, or Al, B1, Cl, C2, C3, C4, 15 C5, and D1, or Al, A2, B1, B2, Cl, C2, C3, and C4, or Al, B1, C, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6, or Al, A2, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6, or Al, A2, A3, A4, Cl, C2, C3, and C4, or codebook structures equivalent to the codebook structure. Codewords included in the codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-single stream or single stream-dual stream sending mode are Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6, or 20 Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and D1, or Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, Cl, C2, C3, Dl, D2, D3, El, and Fl, or Al, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, B4, Cl, C2, C3, Dl, D2, and D3, or Al, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and D1, or Al, A2, A5, A6, B1, B2, Cl, C2, C3, Dl, D2, D3, El, and Fl, or Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2, Cl, C2, Dl, D3, D4, and D5, or codebook structures equivalent to the codebook structure. 25 Codewords included in the codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-dual stream sending mode are Al, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, Cl, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, Dl, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D6, or codebook structures formed of 24 codewords randomly selected from 16G-16H, or codebook structures equivalent to the codebook structure. 59 Furthermore, according to the obtained results, a codebook structure type is determined for each sending mode, and joint feedback signals in different sending modes are encoded. In view of the above, in this embodiment, a method for encoding feedback signals of 5 two carriers in a DC-MIMO mode is provided, in which a single-code channel is employed, so that power overhead is saved and a CM value of the system is not affected, thereby enhancing the performance of the system. Moreover, in this embodiment, a suitable codebook structure and a mapping relationship between a feedback signal and a codeword are selected according to BER and detection error cost, so as to minimize the signal 10 detection error cost and increase data transmission efficiency of the system. A first embodiment of a method for encoding a joint feedback signal according to the present invention is illustrated below. The method for encoding a jiont feedback signal according to this embodiment includes the following step: Joint feedback signals in different sending modes are encoded 15 according to codewords of codebook structures corresponding to the sending modes or equivalent codebook structures thereof, respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, codebook structures having the code distance relations as shwon in Tables 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6 in the second embodiment of the signal encoding method and mapping relationship between the sending modes and codebook 20 structures as shown in Table 1-14 are employed to encode joint feedback signals in different sending modes. The process is specifically described in the following.

Codewords included in the codebook structure may be Al, A2, BI, B2, Cl, C2, Dl, and D2. The encoding of 5 the joint feedback signals in the single stream-single stream sending mode includes: encoding the joint feedback signals, in which X 11 , X 12 , Xio, X 21 , X 22 , X 20 , Xoi, and X 02 are mapped into D2, B2, A1, A2, C2, B1, C1, and Dl respectively. In addition, even if the same codebook structure is used, a mapping scheme equivalent to the above mapping process also exists, which is specifically defined as follows. 10 Two mapping schemes : and h: {Si I -{X } of a signal set {Si} and a corresponding codebook structure {X } are equivalent; the codebook structure {Xj} forms the same code distance matrices in sequences predetermined in the mapping scheme, that is, a sequence {f(S 1 ), f(S 2 ), -- f(S)} and a sequence {h(SI), h(S 2 ),. h(S.)} ; the two mapping schemes satisfy d(f(S,)f(Sg))= d(h(Si),h(S )) that is, two random signals have 15 the same code distance in the two mapping schemes. f(Si) represents codewords corresponding to the signal Si in the mapping scheme f : {Si} {Xj } h(Sj) represents codewords corresponding to the signal Si in the mapping scheme h:{S} -{X }, and d(a,b) represents a code distance between codewords a, b. The code distance between two signals refers to the code distance between codewords 61 corresponding to the signals. As long as the formed code distance matrices are the same, the performances of the schemes are the same. Therefore, any two equivalent mapping schemes can be regarded as the same mapping scheme. 5 For example, an equivalent mapping scheme exists for Table 1-15, that is, joint feedback signals X11, X 12 , Xio, X 21 , X 22 , X 20 , Xoi, and X 02 can be mapped into B2, D2, Cl, C2, A2, Dl, Al, and BI, respectively In the two mapping schemes, the code distance matrices of the signals are the same, and the code distances between the signals are equal to the code distances between the codewords corresponding to the signals. Therefore, the 10 two mapping schemes can be regarded as the same mapping scheme, which can be expressed by Table 1-15 in a unified manner. All the following schemes can be comprehended likewise.

The encoding of the joint feedback signals in the single stream-single stream sending mode includes: encoding the joint feedback signals, in which X 11 , X 1 2 , Xio, X 2 1 , X 22 , X 20 , X 0 1 , and X 02 are mapped 20 into C2, C3, Al, C4, C5, BI, Cl, and Dl, respectively 62 Table 1-17 Encoding Scheme 3 for Joint Feedback Signals in Single Stream-Single Stream Sending Mode Secondary Single Stream Primary ACK NACK DTX ACK X 11 =C1 X 1 2 =C2 Xio=A1 Single Strem NACK X 21 =C3 X 2 2 =C4 X 2 0 =B1 Stream DTX Xoi=A2 X 02 =B2 Xoo=DTX As shown in Table 1-17, a codebook structure that can be used in this embodiment is 2A-2B-4C or an equivalent codebook structure thereof Codewords included in the 5 codebook structure may be Al, A2, BI, B2, Cl, C2, C3, and C4. The encoding of the joint feedback signals in the single stream-single stream sending mode includes: encoding the joint feedback signals, in which X11, X1 2 , Xio, X 2 1, X 22 , X 20 , Xoi, and X 02 are mapped into Cl, C2, Al, C3, C4, BI, A2, and B2, respectively. The codebook structure and/or mapping schemes used in the single stream-single 10 stream mode are also applicable in an encoding system that needs to use eight 10-bit codewords, for example, HARQ-ACK joint encoding of a dual-carrier in which neither of the two carriers is configured with IMNO, or HARQ-ACK joint encoding of a dual-carrier in a single stream mode in which one carrier is not configured with IMNO while the other carrier is configured with IMO, or an encoding system or subsystem that only needs to 15 feed back eight 10-bit codewords in a case that more carriers are configured.

The codebook structure and/or mapping relationship used in the dual stream-dual 10 stream mode are also applicable in an encoding system that needs to use twenty-four 10-bit codewords, for example, an encoding system or subsystem that only needs to feed back twenty-four 10-bit codewords in a case that more carriers are configured. The encoding schemes in the single stream-single stream, single stream-dual stream, dual stream-single stream, and dual stream-dual stream sending modes are respectively 15 described in the above four parts. Signal spaces of other sending modes are subsets of the four signal spaces, so that the encoding schemes in the other sending modes can be easily deduced according to the four signal spaces. Specifically, the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-DTX sending mode is a subset of an intersection between the codebook structure corresponding to the 20 single stream-single stream sending mode and the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-dual stream sending mode, the codebook structure corresponding to the DTX-single stream sending mode is a subset of an intersection between the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-single stream sending mode and the codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-single stream sending mode, the codebook 25 structure corresponding to the dual stream-DTX sending mode is a subset of an intersection between the codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-single stream sending 69 mode and the codebook structure corresponding to the dual stream-dual stream sending mode, and the codebook structure corresponding to the DTX-dual stream sending mode is a subset of an intersection between the codebook structure corresponding to the single stream-dual stream sending mode and the codebook structure corresponding to the dual 5 stream-dual stream sending mode. The schemes according to an embodiment of the present invention are further illustrated below through a specific example. In this embodiment, for mapping relationship between the employed sending modes and codebook structure types, reference can be made to Table 1-26. 10 Table 1-26 Mapping Relationship between Sending Modes and Codebook structure Types employed in First Embodiment of Method for Encoding Joint Feedback Signal Sending Mode CodebookEncoding Scheme structure Type Single Stream-DTX A-B DTX-Single Stream A-B Dual Stream-DTX 4A DTX-Dual Stream 4A Single Stream-Single 2A-2B-2C-2D Encoding Scheme 1 for Single Stream-Single Stream Stream Mode Dual Stream-Single 6A-3C-3D-E-F Encoding Scheme 1 for Dual Stream-Single Stream Stream Mode Single Stream-Dual 6A-3C-3D-E-F Encoding Scheme 1 for Single Stream-Dual Stream Stream Mode Dual Stream-Dual 6A-6B-6C-6D Encoding Scheme 1 for Dual Stream-Dual Stream Stream Mode In Table 1-26, a codebook structure type used in each mode and a corresponding 70 encoding scheme are specified. Further, the codewords in the codebook structure corresponding to each mode need to be valued, that is, assigned with a specific 10-bit 0-1 sequence. In Table 1-26, the codebook structure types corresponding to different sending modes 5 may be the same, which does not necessarily mean that the same specific codewords are used but only means that each corresponding codebook structure has the same code distance relations. It is the same hereinafter. Further, the same codeword symbol used in the corresponding codebook structures of different sending modes is not necessarily corresponding to the same codeword. For example, the codeword Al in the codebook 10 structure used in the single stream-DTX mode is not necessarily the same as the codeword Al in the codebook structure used in the dual stream-DTX mode. For example, the signals Xoi and X 02 belong to the single stream-single stream mode and the dual stream-single stream mode at the same time. In the encoding schemes shown in Table 1-26, referring to Tables 1-15, 1-18, 1-21, and 1-24, the specific codewords 15 corresponding to Xoi and X 02 are depicted as Cl and Dl in the single stream-single stream mode, and depicted as El and Fl in the dual stream-single stream mode. However, no matter being depicted in what form, the codebook structure composed of the two codewords is equivalent to A-B, that is, the codebook structure type of the codebook structure composed of the two codewords is A-B. A symbol used for a specific codeword sequence 20 is determined by a code distance relation of the codeword in the corresponding codebook structure. The "-" in the foregoing tables represents that in the codebook structure type, each signal in the mode can be randomly mapped into one codeword in the codebook structure. However, different signals are mapped into different codewords. In the following tables, 25 the "-" represents the same meaning, the description of which is omitted. Acording to the mapping relationship between the sending modes and the codebook structure types as well as the employed encoding schemes, the joint feedback signal Xj is 71 encoded. For mapping relationship between Xj and codeword values, reference can be made to Table 1-27. The 10-bit 0-1 sequence in Table 1-27 includes values of codewords in the codebook structure.

In the example, a codebook structure corresponding to a signal in each sending mode satisfies the codebook structure type in Table 1-26, that is, a code distance matrix of the codebook structure is the same as the code distance matrix of the codebook structure type in Table 1-26. A mapping relationship 5 between the signal and the codeword satisfies the encoding scheme in Table 1-26, that is, in the mapping relationship, the code distance matrix of the signal is the same as the code distance matrix of the signal in the encoding scheme as shown in Table 1-26. This embodiment is not limited to the mapping relationship in Table 1-27. Any mapping relationship obtained through simple variation on the basis of Table 1-27 also falls within 10 the scope of this embodiment, for example, sequences among columns are randomly changed on the basis of Table 1-27, or negation is performed on a value of a certain column (1 is changed into 0 or 0 is changed into 1). Table 1-27 shows the mapping relationship between the joint signals and the codewords that need to be used in the encoder submodule. Thereby, after receving a signal, 15 the encoder submodule looks up the table for a codeword corresponding to the joint signal, and then outputs the codeword. In this embodiment, a method for encoding feedback signals of two carriers in a DC-MIMO mode is provided, in which a single-code channel is employed, so that power overhead is saved and a CM value of the system is not affected, thereby enhancing the 20 performance of the system. Moreover, in this embodiment, a suitable codebook structure 74 and a mapping relationship between a feedback signal and a codeword are selected according to BER and detection error cost, so as to minimize the signal detection error cost and increase data transmission efficiency of the system. A second embodiment of a method for encoding a joint feedback signal according to 5 the present invention is illustrated below. A difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment of the method for encoding a joint feedback signal lies in the mapping relationship between the sending modes and the codebook structure types. For mapping relationship between the sending modes and the codebook structure types in this embodiment, reference can be made to Table 10 1-28.

An eighth embodiment of a method for encoding a joint feedback signal according to the present invention is illustrated below. This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment in the codebook structure type used in each sending mode in the method for encoding a joint feedback signal. However, 10 a difference between the two embodiments lies in that this embodiment also considers 98 performance in a PRE/POST mode. The mapping relationship between the sending modes and the codebook structure types in this embodiment can be referred to in Table 1-44.

In addition, equivalent variation or equivalent encoding and mapping is performed on the codebook structure in each sending mode, which also falls within the protection scope as long as the codebook structure type in each mode is not changed.

The codebook structure is composed of 16 pairs of inverse codes, which are expressed as G1-G16 and H1-H16. Hi 111 is an inverse code of Gi, that is, the code distance is 10. The relations between G and H codewords are shown in Tables 1-7 to 1-9. 24 codewords are needed in the dual stream-dual stream sending mode, and altogether 26 codewords are needed if the PRE/POST codewords are included. The 26 codewords 5 may be selected from G1-G16 and H1-H16. The method for encoding a joint feedback signal in this embodiment employs another combination of codebook structure types. However, when specific codewords are given, all codewords related to the HARQ-ACK specified in R8 of the TS25.212 in the 3GPP Protocol, including the PRE/POST, are compatible. The mapping relationship between the 10 sending modes and the codebook structure types can be referred to in Table 1-52.

In conclusion, in the embodiments of the the present invention, a solution for 10 HARQ-ACK signal feedback in the DC-IIN4O technology is provided. According to the above descriptions, furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention are also applicable to a dual-code channel, thus providing a technical solution for HARQ-ACK 120 information feedback with more than three carriers or less than 4 carriers using 4 MIMOs. For ease of description, definitions of the following terms are specified in the embodimens of the present invention: SC: a feedback scheme for a single-carrier configured with no MIMO, that is, the 5 feedback scheme corresponding to Table 1-1; SC-MIMO: a feedback scheme for a single-carrier configured with MIMO, that is, the feedback scheme corresponding to Table 1-2; DC: a feedback scheme for a dual-carrier configured with no MIMO, that is, the feedback scheme corresponding to Table 1-3; and 10 DC-MIMO: a feedback scheme for a dual-carrier configured with MIMO. Referring to Table 1-60, a solution for a dual-code channel is provided according to the total number of carriers and the number of carriers that use MIMO. Table 1-60 Technical Solution for HARQ-ACK Information Feedback of Dual-Code Channel with More Than Three Carriers or Less Than Four Carriers Using Four IMOs. Total NTechnical Solution For Dual-Code Channel Number Number of Number Carriers that Carrier of Use MIMO Code Channel Information on Encoding Scheme Carriers Code Channel First code channel First carrier SC 3 0 Second code Second and third DC channel carriers First code channel First carrier SC-MIMO 3 1 Second code Second and third DC channel carriers 121 First code channel First and second DC-MINO carriers 3 1 Second code Third carrier SC channel First code channel First carrier SC-IMNO 3 2 Second code Second and third DC-MINO channel carriers First code channel First and second DC-IMNO carriers 3 2 Second code Third carrier SC channel First code channel First carrier SC-IMNO 3 3 Second code Second and third DC-MIO channel carriers First code channel First and second DC carriers 4 0 Second code Third and fourth DC channel carriers First code channel First and second DC-MINO carriers 4 1 Second code Third and fourth DC channel carriers First code channel First and second DC-MINO carriers 4 2 Second code Third and fourth DC channel carriers First code channel First and third DC-IMNO 4 2 carriers Second code Second and fourth DC-MINO 122 channel carriers First code channel First and second DC-MIMO carriers 4 3 Second code Third and fourth DC-MIMO channel carriers First code channel First and second DC-MIMO carriers 4 4 Second code Third and fourth DC-MIMO channel carriers For example, when the total number of carriers is 4 and the number of carriers that use MIMO is 4, information of the first carrier and the second carrier can be borne in the first code channel, and information of the third carrier and the fourth carrier can be borne in the second code channel. The DC-MIMO scheme is employed in the first code channel, and 5 the DC-MIMO scheme is also employed in the second code channel. In Table 1-60, the IIIN4O is configured on the preceding several carriers by default. For example, if one MIMO is configured, it is considered that the MIMO is configured on the first carrier, and if two MIMOs are configured, it is considered that the IMOs are configured on the first carrier and the second carrier, and so on. Moreover, for carriers that 10 are configured with no MIMO, the feedback information may be regarded as feedback information of the MIMO single stream. In practical applications, the carriers may be numbered in a different way, but the mapping can be performed according to the MIMO configuration on the carriers and the carrier numbers in Table 1-60. As the DC-MIMO scheme under research in the embodiments of the present invention 15 is compatible with SC, SC-MIMO, and DC, each code channel may use the DC-MIMO encoding mode only. (For a carrier that is configured with no MIMO, the feedback signal is regarded as the feedback signal in the MIMO single stream mode; and the single-carrier may be regarded as a dual-carrier in which the second carrier is merely fed back with DTX). Specific mapping relationship are shown in Table 1-61. 123 Table 1-61 Mapping Relationship Between the Prior Art and DC-MIMO Feedback Schemes The Prior Art Corresponding Scheme In DC-MIMO SC Single stream-DTX or DTX-single stream SC-MIMO Dual stream-DTX or DTX-dual stream DC Single stream-single stream In the foregoing mapping relationship, both the 3 carriers to 4 carriers-4 IMOs may use two code channels to solve the signal feedback problem. Each code channel uses the DC-MIMO encoding mode. However, the carrier distribution also needs to be designated. 5 The specific distribution is the same as that in Table 1-60. An embodiment of a signal encoding device according to the present invention is illustrated below. FIG 3 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of a signal encoding device according to the present invention, which specifically includes a joint-feedback-signal 10 synthesis module 11 and an encoder module 12. The joint-feedback-signal synthesis module 11 is configured to, when two carriers are configured with MIMO, combine HARQ-ACK signals of the two carriers into a joint feedback signal. The encoder module 12 is configured to map the joint feedback signal into a codeword according to predetermined mapping relationship between signals and codewords. 15 Further, the joint-feedback-signal synthesis module 11 further includes a first carrier-signal synthesis submodule 13, a second carrier-signal synthesis submodule 14, and a joint-feedback-signal synthesis submodule 15. The first carrier-signal synthesis submodule 13 and the second carrier-signal synthesis submodule 14 combine the HARQ-ACK signals of the carriers into carrier feedback signals corresponding to the 20 carriers, respectively. The joint-feedback-signal synthesis submodule 15 combines the two carrier feedback signals into a joint feedback signal. 124 Persons of ordinary skill in the art may understand that all or part of the steps of the method according to the embodiments of the present invention may be implemented by a program instructing relevant hardware. The program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium. When the program runs, the steps of the method according to 5 the embodiments of the present invention are performed. The storage medium may be a magnetic disk, a Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM), a Read-Only Memory (ROM) or a Random Access Memory (RAM). It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely provided for elaborating the technical solutions of the present invention, but not intended to limit the present invention. 10 Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it is apparent that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the invention without departing from the scope of the invention. The invention shall cover the modifications and variations provided that they fall in the scope of protection defined by the following claims or their equivalents. 15 125
