1. multicast scheme 1:F-FCH, F-DCCH, and F-CPCCH
Fig. 2 has shown the forward link channel of the multicast service that is used for providing multicast scheme 1.Forward link channel comprises F-FCH, at least one F-DCCH and at least one F-CPCCH.F-FCH is used for multi-case data is sent to wireless device.F-DCCH is used in the TDM mode specific user's signaling being sent to wireless device.F-DCCH can transmit (1) and to the relevant signaling of system registration, basic call operation or the like, the message that (2) are used for handover, continuation or terminated call for paging and (3) of wireless device.These F-CPCCH are used to RL PC information is sent to wireless device.
Forward direction and reverse link transmit data with the form of frame.Frame is the predetermined time interval for given forward/reverse link channel.Every the forward/reverse link channel can utilize one or more frame sizes.Different forward/reverse link channels can utilize identical or different frame sizes.
F-FCH can use one or more frame sizes (for example, 20 milliseconds and/or 5 milliseconds) to transmit multi-case data.The frame size of F-FCH can be configured at the very start in calling, and can dynamic change between each frame.F-FCH can be with the data rate of " difference ", waits such as per second 9600,4800,2700,1500 bits (bps) and transmits multi-case data.F-FCH also interrelates with Public Long Code Mask (LCM), and this Public Long Code Mask is used to generate the long code of scrambling multi-case data.This wireless device is known the Long Code Mask of F-FCH, and can carry out additional descrambling, thereby recovers multi-case data.
Although for the sake of clarity, do not have shown in Figure 2ly in table 1, not list yet, one or more F-SCH also can be used for transmitting multi-case data, and can be shared in the mode identical with F-FCH.Every F-SCH can send with the mode of describing among the IS-2000.
As shown in Figure 2, every F-DCCH can use one or more frame sizes (for example, 20 milliseconds and/or 5 milliseconds) to transmit signaling, and this frame size can dynamic change between each frame.Every F-DCCH can also support discontinuous transmission (DTX), and it is illustrated in does not have data to send by F-DCCH in the given frame.The decision that can utilize the F-DCCH transmission maybe can not transmit for example can be, based on whether having the signaling that will send, makes on basis frame by frame.
According to number and/or other factors of the wireless device that receives the multicast service, can use one or more F-DCCH for the multicast service.If have only group's wireless device receiving the multicast service, then can use a F-DCCH.If more wireless device participates in the multicast service, then can increase additional F-DCCH.On the contrary, if no longer need to support the multicast service, then can remove F-DCCH.Every F-DCCH can transmit signaling for the whole or subclass of wireless device.Each wireless device can be assigned to a F-DCCH.In this case, no matter when signaling is effective, and based on the validity of F-DCCH, the signaling that is used for each wireless device can utilize the F-DCCH of distribution to send.Wireless device can also be assigned to many F-DCCH, and this equipment can utilize F-DCCH to receive signaling.In this case, the signaling that is used for wireless device can utilize any of F-DCCH of distribution to send.Each wireless device is associated with unique Long Code Mask.The signaling that is used for each wireless device can use the long code that generates by the unique Long Code Mask that uses this equipment to come by scrambling, and can come descrambling by that wireless device.
Can use different radio configuration for F-FCH with F-DCCH.Every kind of radio configuration all is associated with specific physical layer parameter such as data rate, modulating characteristic and the rate of spread (spreading rate).The parameter of every kind of radio configuration is all described in aforesaid C.S0002-D file.
According to the number of the wireless device that receives the multicast service, can use one or more F-CPCCH for the multicast service.Can use wall scroll F-CPCCH during initialization, and additional F-CPCCH can when participating in the multicast service, more wireless device be added again.A plurality of wireless devices can be assigned to every F-CPCCH.Every F-CPCCH transmits a Forward Power Control Subchannel for the wireless device that each is assigned to this F-CPCCH.Every Forward Power Control Subchannel transmits RL PC bit for the wireless device that distributes with multiple a kind of speed in may (for example, 800,400 and 200bps) speed.Every F-CPCCH transmits the RLPC bit with fixing frame size (for example, 10 milliseconds) for its wireless device that is assigned with.For each frame, each F-CPCCH is that the wireless device of all distribution transmits RL PC bit in the TDM mode and in the pseudorandom position of determining based on Public Long Code Mask, as described below.For simplicity's sake, below describe F-DCCH of supposition and F-CPCCH and be used to the multicast service.
Every forward link channel is associated with different walsh function or Quasi Orthogonal Function (QOF), and this Quasi Orthogonal Function is used for the data that send on " covering (cover) " that forward link channel.Covering is the processing of given modulation symbol (or one group of L modulation symbol with identical value) and whole L chips of one section long walsh function of L chip be multiply by mutually L the cover symbol that acquisition will transmit.Separate covering (Decovering) and be the symbol that will receive and multiply by mutually with L chip of identical L chip walsh function and obtain L processing of separating the symbol of covering, this L the symbol of separating covering added up to obtain the estimation to the modulation symbol that is transmitted.This covers the orthogonality in the middle of many forward link channels that obtain to send simultaneously.Be called as during this being coated with " channelizing ".
Notified F-FCH that has been assigned to about this equipment of each wireless device and the different parameters of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.For example, each wireless device can notified walsh function about F-FCH, F-DCCH and F-CPCCH, data rate about forward link channel, Public Long Code Mask about F-FCH and F-CPCCH, unique Long Code Mask about wireless device, about the Forward Power Control Subchannel of distributing to wireless device of F-CPCCH, or the like.Unique Long Code Mask of each wireless device (for example, based on unique sequence number of wireless device) in a predefined manner calculates, and perhaps can be distributed by the base station.
The transmitting power of F-FCH, F-DCCH and F-CPCCH can be conditioned, thereby realizes good performance for all wireless devices that receive multicasts service.Because F-FCH is sent to all wireless devices, the transmitting power of F-FCH is regulated like this, even make channel condition (for example, the maximum of path loss and and the energy per bit that needs to overall noise and interference ratio (Eb/Nt)) the poorest wireless device also can receive F-FCH reliably.Like this, the transmitting power of F-FCH also can be regulated jointly by all wireless devices.Signaling and RL PC bit utilize F-DCCH and F-CPCCH to be sent to each wireless device respectively.Can regulate the transmitting power of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH for each wireless device, make signaling and RL PC bit to be received by wireless device reliably.
Can utilize F-FCH to send, so that make the power control of F-FCH more convenient with reference to PC bit (perhaps abbreviating reference bits as).Wireless device can be estimated the received signal quality of F-FCH based on reference PC bit and other FL conditions, is that F-FCH generates FL PC bit then in view of the above.
Fig. 3 has shown on F-FCH the transmission to reference PC bit.F-FCH can be configured to carry Forward Power Control Subchannel.If F-FCH is used as the dedicated channel that data is sent to particular wireless device of unicast services, Forward Power Control Subchannel transmits the RL PC bit of the transmitting power be used to regulate this wireless device so.Yet if F-FCH is used as the shared channel of multicast service, the single Forward Power Control Subchannel on the F-FCH can not transmit RL PC bit for all wireless devices that receive the multicast service usually so.In order so to do, to need (1) to reduce the feedback rates of RL PC, this has reduced the validity of RL PC, (2) to the overpunch (puncturing) of F-FCH, so just reduced forward error correction (FEC) code gain of F-FCH, so that hold additional RL PC bit, or (3) preceding two all comprise.These RL PC bits that are used for wireless device can change into and utilize F-CPCCH to send.The PC bit of the Forward Power Control Subchannel of F-FCH can be set as given value (for example, all are " 1s ") and be used as the bit with reference to PC.
As shown in Figure 3, the per 20 milliseconds frame on the F-FCH can be divided into 16 power control groups, and these power control groups are given with from 0 to 15 sequence number.Each power control group has 1.25 milliseconds duration and transmits one with reference to the PC bit.The reference PC bit of each power control group is perforated (puncture), and replaces the modulation symbol that utilizes the F-FCH in that power control group to send of some.The position of the reference PC bit of each power control group is pseudorandom, and is determined by the Public Long Code Mask of F-FCH.Send with such power level with reference to the PC bit, the feasible transmit power level of the multi-case data of F-FCH transmission of utilizing has constant offset.Like this, as described below, just can be used for the forward link power control of F-FCH with reference to the PC bit.
Fig. 4 has shown that each receives the reverse chain channel of the wireless device of multicast service.Reverse chain channel comprises Reverse Fundamental Channel (R-FCH) and Reverse Pilot Channel (R-PICH).Also can use R-DCCH to replace R-FCH, perhaps also use R-DCCH except R-FCH.Wireless device uses R-FCH and/or R-DCCH that data and signaling are sent to this system.Can be different for R-FCH with the R-DCCH transmission characteristic.For example, R-FCH can be sent out in each frame but be sent out with the speed that changes, and is sent out if R-DCCH can or can not be sent out in any given frame then can sends with fixing (for example, complete) speed.For brevity, described below is R-FCH, although the major part of this description also can be applied to R-DCCH.This wireless device utilizes R-PICH to come to send pilot tone on reverse link, and utilizes R-PICH to send to be used to the FLPC bit of the transmitting power of regulating forward link channel.
This R-FCH can utilize one or more frame sizes (for example, 20 milliseconds and/or 5 milliseconds) to transmit data.This R-FCH can transmit data with the data rate that changes.This R-FCH can support gating transmission (gated transmission), thus data by the time in each frame in 8 of 16 power control groups 50% in transmission.R-FCH can also support discontinuous transmission, makes that R-FCH is movable only when having data to send, otherwise is exactly inactive.
For the multicast service, R-PICH also can transmit the reverse power control subchannel multiplexed with reverse-link pilot frequency.Per 20 milliseconds segmentation on the R-PICH is divided into 16 power control groups, and each power control group further is divided into quarter (quater).Reverse-link pilot frequency sends in the preceding three equal parts of each power control group.FL PC bit sends in the quarter of each power control group.R-PICH can be in the mode similar to R-FCH by gating.R-FCH and R-PICH can be chosen to disconnection (gated off) simultaneously, and this just allows wireless device to turn off its power amplifier, so that do not transmitting time province's battery energy.
Keep effective reverse link by the wireless device that receives the multicast service for each and connect, the position of wireless device can be determined, and can dynamically customize for wireless device about the covering of multicast service.Given base station can be based on the reported position of the wireless device that receives the multicast service, and the wireless device of asking this service, begins and finish the multicast service.Reverse link connects the power Control and Feedback of the transmitting power also be provided for regulating F-FCH, F-DCCH, F-SCH (if being transmitted) and F-CPCCH.
Connect can be owing to difference former thereby splitly fall (or termination) for the reverse link of the wireless device of given reception multicast service.For example, if wireless device never utilizes R-FCH to send signaling in predetermined amount of time or utilize R-PICH to send FL PC bit, its reverse link connects and can be dismantled so.As another example, if receive the multicast service wireless device outnumber predetermined number, control can be under an embargo to the power of F-FCH so, and the reverse link of each wireless device connects and can be dismantled, to preserve the reverse link resources and the energy content of battery at wireless device place.The reverse link of wireless device connects and can be dismantled in one or more stages.For example, wireless device can to gated mode, be transformed into idle pulley from the routine operation mode switch then after second time period after very first time section.First and/or second time period can be pre-define or can determine good and be sent to wireless device by system.In gated mode, wireless device can send FL PC bit with the speed that reduces (for example, 400 or 200bps), can also receive RL PC bit with the speed that reduces.In idle pulley, wireless device can be forbidden the transmission on R-PICH and R-FCH, and can use Reverse Access Channel (R-ACH) or Reverse Enhanced Access Channel (R-EACH) to send signaling on the reverse link.
A.
Forward link power control
Can be the control of multicast service execution forward link power in every way.In one embodiment, the transmitting power of F-FCH is united adjusting by the wireless device that all receive the multicast service.Joint Power control to F-FCH can guarantee that all wireless devices can receive this F-FCH reliably.In one embodiment, the transmitting power of the F-DCCH of each wireless device and F-CPCCH is regulated by corresponding wireless device.Independent power control to F-DCCH and F-CPCCH can guarantee that each wireless device can receive its signaling and RL PC bit reliably, makes the transmitting power of consumption as far as possible little simultaneously.Similar with F-FCH, F-DCCH and F-CPCCH also can be carried out joint Power control.Yet in any preset time, these channels are used for the particular wireless device of addressing individually in time-multiplexed mode, therefore need not to provide that constantly as the particular wireless device of target required more than power.In addition, by that group wireless device that receives the multicast service F-DCCH and F-CPCCH being carried out joint Power control may cause, and the transmitting power of these forward link channels is set to higher level by the wireless device of one or several bad channel conditions.
Fig. 5 A has shown the reverse power control subchannel on the R-PICH has been divided into the main reverse power control subchannel (be also referred to as son stream (substream) 1) of 400bps and the less important reverse power control subchannel of 400bps (be also referred to as son and flow 2).It should be noted that Fig. 5 A only illustrates with Fig. 5 B these PC bit groupings are become this two subchannels, and does not show the actual duration of these bits.Reverse power control subchannel on the R-PICH has the speed of 800bps.For the FPC_MODE=' 001 ' among the IS-2000, main reverse power control subchannel transmits FL PC bit in eight power control groups of band even number sequence number, and less important reverse power control subchannel transmits FL PC bit in eight power control groups of band odd indexed.
When Fig. 5 B has shown FPC_MODE=' 010 ' in IS-2000, reverse power control subchannel is divided into the division of main reverse power control subchannel and the less important reverse power control subchannel of 600bps of 200bps.Main reverse power control subchannel transmits the PC bit in four power control groups, and less important reverse power control subchannel transmits FL PC bit in 12 power control groups.
Less important reverse power control subchannel can transmit the FL PC bit that is used for F-FCH, and can with for example 600 or 400bps be sent out.Main reverse power control subchannel can transmit and be used for the two FL PC bit of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH, and can with for example 600 or the speed of 400bps be sent out.Optionally, main reverse power control subchannel can transmit the FL PC bit that is used for F-FCH, and reverse power control subchannel can transmit the FL PC bit that is used for F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.Be used for the FL PC bit of F-FCH and F-DCCH/F-CPCCH, can send with other bit rate.A kind of mode-definition can be become be used to indicate main and less important reverse power control subchannel to be respectively applied for F-FCH and F-DCCH.
Wireless device can comprise that the power control mechanism of inner loop and outer loop carries out the power control of F-FCH by use.For inner loop, the reference PC bit on the Forward Power Control Subchannel of wireless device reception F-FCH, and estimate each received signal quality with reference to the PC bit.Received signal quality can quantize noise and ratio (Eb/Nt) or other quantity of disturbing summation with the energy of every bit.Wireless device can be estimated to obtain more reliable estimation for a plurality of received signal qualities with reference to the PC bit in filtering.Then, wireless device will about current power control group by filtering or do not estimated to compare with signal quality threshold by the received signal quality of filtering, this signal quality threshold is also referred to as the F-FCH set point.If the signal quality that receives estimates to be lower than the F-FCH set point then wireless device can be arranged to ' 0 ' with the FL PC bit that is used for the F-FCH of current power control group, otherwise is arranged to ' 1 '.The signal quality that ' 0 ' value representation receives is not enough, and request increases the transmitting power of F-FCH.More than the signal quality that ' 1 ' value representation receives is abundant, and request reduces the transmitting power of F-FCH.
For outer loop, wireless device receives F-FCH and goes up the multi-case data that sends, and the multi-case data that receives of each frame is decoded, and determines that each received frame is correctly decoded (good) or by decoded in error (being wiped free of).Wireless device can reduce the F-FCH set point with little minimizing step-length (small down step) for each good frame, and is that each erase frame increases the F-FCH set point with big increase step-length (large up step).The step sizes that reduces and increase is selected to the performance of the aspiration level that can realize F-FCH usually, and this step sizes can (for example, 1%FER) be quantized by target frame erasure rate.
The F-FCH set point also can be fixed, and circulates for the F-FCH disable external in this case.The F-FCH set point also can be restricted to given minimum F-FCH set point or be higher than this given minimum F-FCH set point.Minimum F-FCH set point can be configured to, and can guarantee can not take place when wireless device moves to the edge of coverage the unnecessary level of wiping.Initial value, minimum value and/or maximum can be specified for the F-FCH set point in the base station, and these values are sent to wireless device.
Each base station receives the FL PC bit that is used for F-FCH from all wireless devices that receives the multicast service from the base station.Because F-FCH is sent to all wireless devices, the transmitting power that F-FCH can be regulated based on the FL PC bit that receives from all wireless devices in all base stations.For each power control group, the base station determines that the FL PC bit that receives from each wireless device is ' 0 ' or ' 1 '.The base station is in conjunction with the detected FL PC bit of all wireless devices, to obtain the PC decision of power control group then.For example, if arbitrarily the detected FL PC bit of wireless device is ' 0 ', then the base station can use the increase pattern or (OR-of-the-UP) rule and the PC decision is arranged to ' 0 ' (for higher transmitting power); And if the detected FL PC bit of all wireless devices is ' 1 ', then ' 1 ' (in order to reduce transmitting power) is arranged in the PC decision.
When the number of the wireless device that receives the multicast service increased, the benefit that the power of F-FCH is controlled reduced.This is because Several Factors.The first, because the more big figure of wireless device, at least one wireless device needs the possibility of high transmit power level (for example, being positioned at the edge and the bad channel conditions of coverage) to increase.Subsequently, because more a plurality of wireless devices, the transmitting power of F-FCH more may be configured to higher power level.The second, when the number of wireless device increased, the possibility that correctly receives FL PC bit from wireless device reduced.With increase pattern or (OR-of-the-UP) rule, with any FL PC bit be used as ' 0 ' or the error detection of ' increase ' cause the transmitting power of F-FCH to be increased.The 3rd, along with more a plurality of wireless devices, more reverse chain-circuit capacity is consumed and is used for transmitting the FLPC bit that is used for F-FCH.Can come selectively F-FCH to be carried out power control based on one or more such standards of number like this such as the wireless device that for example receives the multicast service.For example, control can be enabled if the number of wireless device is less than predetermined number then to F-FCH power, and is otherwise just disabled.
The transmitting power that is used for the F-DCCH of each wireless device can be controlled based on power and regulate, as described as follows.The transmitting power that is used for the F-CPCCH of each wireless device can be set up based on the transmitting power of the F-DCCH of this wireless device.For example, for given wireless device, difference between the transmitting power of F-DCCH and the transmitting power of F-CPCCH or increment (delta) can be provided with and be sent to wireless device by the base station.The transmitting power of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH can be provided with in one way, thereby solves the difference of the data rate of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.
Wireless device can use another set of inner loop and outer loop to carry out the power of F-DCCH is controlled.For inner loop, wireless device is received in the F-CPCCH that is used for wireless device and goes up the RL PC bit that sends, and estimates the received signal quality of each RLPC bit.Wireless device can be estimated for a plurality of RL PC bit filtering received signal qualities, to obtain more reliable estimation.Wireless device can based on RL PC bit by filtering or do not estimated the received signal quality of F-DCCH by the received signal quality of filtering and power delta.Like this, the received signal quality of F-CPCCH just is used as the representative (proxy) of the received signal quality of F-DCCH.Then, wireless device is estimated that the received signal quality of the F-DCCH of current power control group compare with the F-DCCH set point.Then, if received signal quality estimates to be lower than the F-DCCH set point, then the wireless device FL PC bit that will be used for the F-DCCH of current power control group sets ' 0 ' for, otherwise sets this bit for ' 1 '.The received signal quality of ' 0 ' value representation F-DCCH is good not enough, and request increases the transmitting power of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.The received signal quality of ' 1 ' value representation F-DCCH exceeds enough good, and request reduces the transmitting power of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.
For outer loop, wireless device receives and utilizes F-DCCH to send to specific user's signaling of wireless device, with the signaling decoding that sends in every frame, and determines that each frame is correctly decoded still decoded in error.Wireless device can reduce the F-DCCH set point with the little step-length that reduces for each good frame, and is that each erase frame improves the F-DCCH set point with big increase step-length.The step sizes that increases and reduce is selected to the performance level (for example, the FER of %1) that can realize expectation for F-DCCH.The F-DCCH set point can be limited in the scope of a plurality of values.
Wireless device also can otherwise be carried out being used for the F-FCH of multicast service, the power control of F-DCCH and F-CPCCH.For example, main and less important reverse power control subchannel can be respectively applied for the feedback that transmits 400bps and 50bps.The feedback of 50bps can informing base station, and whether wireless device has correctly received the frame of the 20ms on the F-FCH.The feedback of 400bps can be used for regulating continuously the transmit power level of F-CPCCH and F-DCCH.
B.
Dynamic coverage and soft handover
Each base station can provide communication coverage for geographic area separately.The overlay area of adjacent base station is overlapped usually, and wireless device can switch to another base station from a base station when wireless device is mobile on every side in system to allow.
System can provide dynamic coverage for the multicast service.Each wireless device is attempted to receive the multicast service from base station that may be best.Near the pilot tone of the base station of wireless device can periodically searching for, and measure the signal strength signal intensity of each pilot tone that this equipment finds.Wireless device can be kept " activity " collection, this active set comprise the current multicast service that is just receiving of wireless device from base station whole.Add threshold value if the pilot signal strength of the measurement of new base station surpasses, then wireless device can be attempted this new base station is added in the active set.In order to add this new base station, wireless device can utilize R-FCH that signaling (for example, Pilot Strength Measurement Message) is sent to current base station.Current base station can utilize F-DCCH that signaling (for example, channel assignment message, handover guide message etc.) is sent to wireless device.This signaling comprises by wireless device and one group of new full detail that base station communication is required.If for the pilot signal strength of certain base station measurement drops on below the drop threshold, then wireless device can discard this base station from active set.Can keep the active set of multicast service in order to the mode identical with other service of system support.
Usually, wireless device is that different active sets is kept in the service that every kind of wireless device is receiving.For example, wireless device can be kept an active set for the multicast service, and is that another active set is kept in another kind of service (for example, being voice and packet data call).The active set of keeping for the multicast service has below been described.
This group wireless device that receives the multicast service can be positioned at same sub-district or be positioned at different districts.Each wireless device in this group can be kept active set separately, and it comprises wireless device is just receiving the multicast service from it all base stations.For the multicast service, each wireless device can have identical active set or different overlapping active sets.If at least one base station is public for the active set of a plurality of equipment in the wireless device that receives the multicast service, then active set is overlapping.For each wireless device, each base station in the active set of this equipment utilizes F-FCH with public multi-case data, utilizes F-DCCH with specific user's signaling, and utilizes F-CPCCH with RL PC bit, sends to wireless device.
If the active set of wireless device comprises a plurality of one or more sector of base station that belong to, then this wireless device is in the soft handover of multicast service.When in soft handover, the different F-FCH that use via these sectors a plurality of sectors are that the multicast service transmits identical multi-case data.Wireless device can receive also in conjunction with the multi-case data from all sectors in the active set, to obtain improved performance.A plurality of sectors also can send to wireless device with identical specific user's instruction for the different F-DCCH that the multicast service is used via these sectors.A plurality of sectors can the cooperation transmission specific user be instructed, and make every message be sent to all sectors simultaneously.This just allows wireless device and can receive in order to improve performance and in conjunction with the message from all sectors.Transmitting power balance/calibration can (for example, periodically) be carried out, so that the shared forward link channel transmitting power is tended to public horizontal adjustment in these a plurality of base stations.The balance transmitting power is used in sector to all emission identical contents, can strengthen diversity and improve link efficiency.
When having a plurality of base station in the active set at soft handover, independent Forward Power Control Subchannel can be launched in the base station in each active set, thinks the transmitting power of reverse link adjusting wireless device.Each base station is measured as wireless device based on received signal quality and generates RL PC bit, and this received signal quality measurement is that wireless device is made by the base station.For each power control group, wireless device can detect the RL PC bit that all base stations from active set receive, and can regulate its transmitting power in view of the above.That wireless device can be used the minimizing pattern or (OR-of-the-DOWN) rule, and when if the detected arbitrarily RL PC bit of current power control group is ' 1 ' (will reduce transmitting power), reduce its transmitting power, and if when all detected RL PC bits of current power control group are ' 0 ' (increase transmitting power) increase its transmitting power.
