Moreover the present invention works out the distribution general land access network medium access control architectural schemes of enhanced uplink.The present invention also works out the repetitive requests entity of the mixed automatic repeat request of implementing the Node B place/automatically, no matter and the wireless transmission/receive unit operation scheme all implement ranking function again in the radio network controller why.
In addition, the present invention works out the up link scheduling function of implementing Node B and radio network controller place.Yet,, all only have a up link scheduling function to be configured any time to it at wireless transmission/receive unit.Whether up link scheduling function is configured in Node B or radio network controller place, is to decide (whether soft handover) on the wireless transmission/receive unit operation scheme.
Important is to notice that the present invention also works out affirmation/non-affirmation of implementing Node B and radio network controller place and produces function.Yet,, all only have affirmation/non-affirmation to produce function and be configured any time to it at wireless transmission/receive unit.Confirm/non-affirmation produces function and whether is configured in Node B or radio network controller place, is to decide (whether soft handover) on the wireless transmission/receive unit operation scheme.
During the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover, higher level is kept the active subset of enhanced uplink cell, is to be maintained in the soft handover macro diversity status to this enhanced uplink dedicated channel.Cell in these active subset is controlled by different enhanced uplink soft handover Node B.
According to the present invention, whether the many cell wireless communication system framework between first configuration and second configuration shifts is to take place to decide on the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover.
Fig. 1 shows first system configuration 100 of the wireless communication system during the normal running (non-in soft handover), and this wireless communication system comprises radio network controller 105 and Node B 110.Node B can be communicated by letter with wireless transmission/receive unit 115.Radio network controller 105 is configured to comprise first medium access control entity 120.First medium access control entity 120 in the radio network controller 105 can be handled the enhanced uplink dedicated channel function, and comprises the one or more entities of ranking function again 125.Each again ranking function entity 125 be to communicate by letter with the higher protocol level 130 in the radio network controller 105 and comprise an associated buffer (no icon).Node B 110 is to be configured to comprise second medium access control entity 135 that can handle the enhanced uplink dedicated channel function, mixed automatic repeat request/repetitive requests entity 140, and up link scheduler 150 automatically with affirmation/non-affirmation generator 145.
Mixed automatic repeat request/automatic repetitive requests entity 140 is configured in Node B 110 and handles mixed automatic repeat request/automatic repetitive requests function for the user.Ranking function entity 125 is configured in radio network controller 105 and sorts and be received data block at present again, and just Packet Data Unit (PDUs) transmits to the formation of higher protocol level 130 supporting.Up link scheduler 150 is configured in the enhanced uplink transmissions that Node B 110 is come scheduling wireless transmission/receive unit 115.Affirmation/non-affirmation generator 145 is configured in Node B 110 and notifies success of wireless transmission/receive unit 115 ul transmissions or failure.As shown in Figure 1, in the normal running scheme, affirmation/non-affirmation generator 145 is merged in the mixed automatic repeat request/automatic repetitive requests entity 140 of Node B 110.
Ranking function entity 125 is not changed by Node B internal reinforcing type uplink service cell again, and just rigid switching influences.That is to say that the buffer of ordering again (no icon) of radio network controller need not be filled during Node B internal reinforcing type uplink service cell changes.Buffer is not filled because sort again, is not passed to Radio Link control outward so there is formation, and there is no Radio Link control recover (wireless transmission/receive unit side) by Node B internal reinforcing type uplink service cell change cause.Affirmation/non-affirmation and up link field data of scheduling information are to be transferred into wireless transmission/receive unit 115 via the signal transmission of quick layer.Therefore, delay is very low.
Fig. 2 shows second system configuration 200 of wireless communication system shown in Figure 1.When detecting wireless transmission/receive unit 115, radio network controller 105 will the transfer from first system configuration, 100 to second system configuration 200 take place when normal running is transferred to the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover.At least two (2) enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210 (210A...210N) during second system configuration 200 comprises radio network controller 205 and operates in the enhanced uplink soft handover.Radio network controller 205 is configured to comprise first medium access control entity 215 that is placed on radio network controller 205 places.First medium access control entity 215 can be handled the enhanced uplink dedicated channel function, and comprises one or more entity 220 that sorts again, confirms/non-affirmation generator 225 and up link scheduler 230.Respectively ranking function entity 220 can be communicated by letter with the higher protocol level 235 in the radio network controller 205 again, and comprises associated buffer (no icon).Each Node B 210 is configured to comprise second medium access control entity 240 (240A...240N) and the mixed automatic repeat request/automatic repetitive requests entity 245 (245A...245N) of handling the dedicated channel function.
Each mixed automatic repeat request/repetitive requests entity 245 is handled mixed automatic repeat request/automatic repetitive requests function for the user automatically.Up link scheduler 230 in the medium access control entity 215 is to communicate by letter with each Node B 210 via enhanced uplink Frame Protocol 250A...250N in radio network controller 205 places.Mixed automatic repeat request/repetitive requests entity 240A...240N communicates by letter with radio network controller 105 via signal transmitting channel 255A...255N respectively automatically.
Still with reference to figure 2, during the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover, if be received in the data block at any enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210 places by decoding success, just data block is by Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), and then it will be transferred to radio network controller 205 via enhanced uplink Frame Protocol 255A...255N.The entity of ranking function again 220 at radio network controller 205 places can be carried out ranking function to the data block that is correctly received again and support to transmit to the formation of higher protocol level 235.Up link scheduler 230 in the radio network controller 205 is to be responsible for the wireless transmission/receive unit in the cell that different person controlled in the enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210 is come the scheduling enhanced uplink transmissions.When radio network controller 205 when enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210 receives at least one duplicate of the data block of successfully being deciphered with good Cyclic Redundancy Check, the affirmation in the radio network controller 205/non-affirmation generator 225 can produce approval and transfer to wireless transmission/receive unit.Otherwise the determination data piece is not correctly received, the affirmation in the radio network controller 205/non-affirmation generator 225 thereby can produce to negate and transfer to wireless transmission/receive unit.
The data block that is received from different persons in the enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210 can be combined and be organized in the formation to be passed to higher protocol level 235.Be placed on entities of ordering again 220 in the radio network controller 205 and can make that the enhanced uplink medium cut-in control grouping data unit is processed successfully to receive and correctly be passed to higher protocol level 235, this higher protocol level 235 is independent of provides the Node B that receives each Packet Data Unit.Therefore, medium access control data and Radio Link control recovery is to be lowered.
During the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover by the up link scheduler of using in the radio network controller 205 230, at the cell of being controlled by other enhanced uplink soft handover Node B 210, the ul transmissions of 210 schedulings of enhanced uplink soft handover Node B is acceptable with resource and interference pattern.
Fig. 3 is processing 300 flow charts that comprise the method step of implementation system configuration 100 and 200, and this system configuration 100 and 200 is shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 respectively.During the normal running, radio network controller 105 continues any indication (step 305) that supervision enhanced uplink operating in soft handover is about to begin.Shown in the system configuration 100 of Fig. 1, during the normal running, before and after just the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover took place, the present Node B 110 of wireless transmission/receive unit 115 was configured to make present Node B 110 to comprise affirmation/non-affirmation generator 145 and up link scheduler 150.If radio network controller 105 detects the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover and is about to start from step 305, medium access control entity 120 frameworks in the radio network controller 105 of Fig. 1 are to dispose according to medium access control entity 215 frameworks in the radio network controller 205 of Fig. 2, and medium access control entity 215 comprises affirmation/non-affirmation generator 225 and up link scheduler 230 (step 315) whereby.After operating in soft handover is done, as be decided by step 320, affirmation in the medium access control entity 215 in the radio network controller 105/non-affirmation generator 225 and up link scheduler 230 are be decomposed (steps 325), and new node B 110 relevant with wireless transmission/receive unit 115 during the enhanced uplink operating in soft handover is configured to comprise affirmation/non-affirmation generator 145 and up link scheduler 150, as shown in Figure 1.
