The rearrangement method of data in mobile communication system and device thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to the mobile communication technology field, particularly relate to a kind of rearrangement method and device of data in mobile communication system.
Background technology
In early 1990s, begin to have communication common carrier and some research organizations to begin the research work of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) WCDMA in Europe, since 98 years till now, the technical specification of the WCDMA system Release 99 that passed by, Release 4, and Release 5, Release 6 these several stages, very ripe for described this several stages, the standardization effort about Release 7 comes into effect at present.Meanwhile, the research of Long Term Evolution LTE (Long Term Evolution) has also become the new focus of standardization effort gradually, is a kind of network cheaply that can reduce time delay, raising user data rate, improved power system capacity and covering.Described LTE will will be brand-new from the system framework to the physical layer, be intended to for the user provides higher rate the service of better performance.Land radio access web UTRAN among the LTE is called as the wireless land of evolution Access Network (E-UTRAN) at present, comprises evolution Access Network and evolution base station.But, at what kind of rearrangement of carrying out that does not also propose in the present evolution base station needs transmission data, could reduce the rearrangement number of times between protocol layer, and problem such as propagation delay time, be the problem that example explanation exists with the Radio interface protocols in the preceding base station of evolution below.Be specially:
The structural framing of described Radio interface protocols is divided into 3 layers, layer 3 is the radio resource control RRC layer, layer 2 is divided into packet data convergence protocol PDCP and broadcast/multi broadcast control BMC layer, Radio Link control rlc layer and media access control MAC layer, and layer 1 is physical layer PHY, specifically as shown in Figure 1.The grouping busihess data transmission course of up-downgoing is successively by PDCP/BMC layer, rlc layer, MAC layer and physical layer, the flow direction that enters physical layer PHY, opposite end MAC layer, opposite end rlc layer and the opposite end PDCP/BMC layer of opposite end is then transmitted, and its signaling then is directly from the rrc layer to the rlc layer.In the data transfer of above-mentioned data from the high level to the low layer, whenever all can be coupled with the data head of this layer through a layer data, arrived the peer layer of opposite end, by resolving this data, remove the data head of these data, give the delivery of content of these data high-rise again.In data transmission procedure, rlc layer and MAC layer can be cut apart/cascade the data that high level is come, and wherein rlc layer data (RLC SDU) that high level is sent here are divided into equal-sized data block, add header, form RLC PDU and are sent to the MAC layer; In physical layer, the data that the MAC layer is come are cut apart/cascade forms sizeable physical frame and sends.Receiving terminal is carried out and to be cut apart/inverse process of cascade, and the MAC layer is reset MAC PDU according to the order of transmission sequence number, is 1,2,3 and so on sequence number such as, transmission sequence number, and this sequence number is to sort according to the sequencing that receives data block.And a correct data of orderly reception is sent rlc layer; At rlc layer, according to the header (sequence number) that transmitting terminal adds RLC PDU is reset, after all data of forming a SDU all receive correctly, to the high level transmission, wherein, that the MAC layer is reset is MAC PDU with this RLC SDU, and each MAC PDU may comprise a plurality of RLC PDU, deliver to rlc layer after MAC PDU resets, RLC is easy to basis wherein discontinuous (part process HARQ retransmits does not still have transmission correctly) data and judges losing of RLC PDU, request ARQ re-transmission.Again can be out of order through RLC PDU after the ARQ re-transmission, therefore also tackle RLC PDU and sort.
This shows that MAC layer and rlc layer all need to carry out the rearrangement of data in existing protocol.That is: at rlc layer, RLC SDU carries out data according to the RLC PDU size of high level configuration to be cut apart, to cutting apart the unified numbering of the PDU that obtains, as the sign that receives and retransmit, the data that need to retransmit are stored in the ARQ buffer memory, and the numbering of RLC PDU is called sequence number (SN, Sequence Number) in present agreement, the sequence number length of affirmation mode is 12bit, and the sequence number of Unacknowledged Mode is 7bit.With regard to the given size of RLC PDU, carry out RLC SDU when cutting apart when a kind of business is at its corresponding RLC entity of configuration in present agreement, when data deficiencies PDU size, RLC PDU added and fill bit, guaranteeing the PDU constant magnitude.According to SN RLC PDU is reset and recombinate at the receiving terminal rlc layer.For another example in the HSDPA/HSUPA system, after adding the MAC data head, RLC PDU process MAC-d entity forms after the MAC-d PDU, carry out cascade at the MAC-hs/MAC-e entity, add data head, comprising transmission sequence number (TSN), form physical frame, and be cached in the HARQ buffer memory, HARQ resets MAC PDU according to TSN at receiving terminal MAC layer, and is sent to rlc layer receiving correct data in order.
This shows, in data transmission procedure, when through the different protocol layer of receiving terminal, such as MAC layer and rlc layer through receiving terminal, according to adding sequence number the data of receiving terminal are reset respectively, thereby increased the expense of system, and MAC layer and rlc layer are in base station and RNC respectively, by this twice rearrangement, can increase the time delay of transfer of data.

By said apparatus as can be known,, wireless chain control layer RLC and media access control layer MAC are merged, thereby reduced the propagation delay time of interface between the protocol layer, even can ignore interface time delay at the mobile communication system after the evolution.Service Data Unit (being the IP packet) for the needs transmission has two kinds of implementations: a kind of implementation is to reset device to be arranged in subscriber equipment: another kind of implementation is to reset device to be arranged in evolution base station.Respectively these two kinds of implementation procedures are described below:
A kind of implementation: the transmitting terminal media access control layer is cut apart it or/and cascade in the evolution base station, obtain protocol Data Unit, and to its packaging information head, form transmission block (TB) after physical layer transmission arrives the receiving terminal of user equipment (UE), after the media access control layer MAC of described subscriber equipment receiving terminal receives this transmission block, mix re-transmission (HARQ automatically by receiving terminal, Hybrid AutomaticRepeat Request) obtains the correct code transmission block of separating after the re-transmission of layer to described transmission block, and send it to the automatic repeat request (ARQ of receiving terminal, Automatic Repeat Request) layer, described automatic repeat request ARQ layer carries out obtaining out of order protocol Data Unit after the decapsulation to the transmission block that receives, according to sequence number or segment sequence number described protocol Data Unit is being reset and recombinated then, obtain orderly Service Data Unit, and send it to high level.
Wherein, described ARQ is meant by retransmitting and guarantees the reliability transmitted, and is current when once attempting bust this, just requires the transmission mechanism of retransmission data packet may.The HARQ agreement is the improvement of ARQ agreement, has introduced a FEC subsystem exactly in the ARQ system, and this FEC subsystem is to be used for correcting a mistake to reduce the number of times of re-transmission.In HARQ, transmitting terminal only just begins next data block is operated after the data block that sends is correctly received, system uses the sequence number of 1 bit to distinguish current data block and next data block waiting for transmission, and the affirmation information (ACK or wrong responses NACK are replied in use) whether receiving terminal is used to indicate transmission block to be correctly decoded is used a bit.
Another kind of implementation is the inverse process of above-mentioned implementation, its implementation procedure is basic identical with aforesaid way, its difference is, sending ending equipment is cut apart or/and cascade the Service Data Unit of needs transmission earlier in the subscriber equipment, and will cut apart or/and form transmission block behind the protocol Data Unit packaging information head after the cascade and send in the evolution base station by physical layer, described evolution base station is identical with the processing procedure of above-mentioned subscriber equipment receiving terminal, specifically sees for details above-mentionedly, does not repeat them here.
Wherein, the function of described physical layer be to the packet that receives modulate, operation such as coding, Time and Frequency Synchronization; The MAC layer carries out the medium access control, and the operations such as priority of UE data flow are handled in dynamic dispatching.The function of automatic repeat request ARQ is the re-transmission that retransmits automatically on the HARQ mixing, preventing that HARQ failure from causing data error, ARQ also to have out of order packet is carried out segmentation, reorganization, division cascade, order is delivered to functions such as high level, copy detection, Flow Control.
In addition, the present invention also provides the rearrangement method of data in a kind of communication system, and the flow chart of this method sees Fig. 4 for details, and described method comprises step:
Step S11: the automatic retransmission entities of the mixing of receiving terminal is sent to the automatic repeat request entity after receiving the transmission block that is correctly decoded;
Step S12: the automatic repeat request entity of receiving terminal carries out decapsulation to the transmission block that receives, and the higher layer protocol data units after the decapsulation reset and recombinates, and obtains Service Data Unit.
Between step S11 and step S12, also comprise step: if the transmission block that receives is made up of the protocol Data Unit of a plurality of automatic repeat request entities, then transmission block is decomposed, and the sub-transmission block after decomposing is sent to corresponding automatic repeat request entity.
For the ease of understanding, be transmitting terminal below with the subscriber equipment, and evolution base station be receiving terminal is that example illustrates the present invention, otherwise also sets up.
See also Fig. 5 A and 5B again, be respectively the embodiment of transfer of data detailed process in the method for the invention.As shown in the figure, transmitting terminal media access control MAC layer cut apart and/or the cascade function entity is cut apart and/or cascade high-level business data cell SDU (be IP bag), and corresponding sequence number (such as shown in the figure 1,2 and 3) is set, send automatic repeat request ARQ entity after forming protocol Data Unit PDU; And the generation transmission block functional entity of MAC layer to the PDU that receives add carry out behind the necessary header (TB head) (as the service priority queue number etc.) multiplexing, send mixed automatic retransmission HARQ functional entity after forming transmission block (TB), the HARQ of described receiving terminal receives the TB that is correctly decoded after retransmitting, and, do not reset to the TB that ARQ submits correct reception.Described ARQ entity obtains not sending out status report behind the out of order protocol Data Unit PDU by decomposition and decapsulation, only described PDU is placed on and resets in the buffer memory, resets functional entity and according to sequence number SN and segment sequence number SSN PDU is reset.Wherein, described SN is the sequence number of PDU of transmission first, SSN for each segmentation at the sequence number that transmits first among the PDU, can just can retransmit, reset and recombinate by SN and SSN at receiving terminal like this.The recombination function entity is recombinated after removing information header among the PDU, obtains correct and orderly Service Data Unit SDU, and it is sent to high level.In addition, when the number of retransmissions of receiving terminal data block surpasses maximum retransmission, can inform that this transmission block of ARQ loses by interlayer source language at receiving terminal HARQ, the triggering of described status report can be periodic triggers, be produced automatically or triggered by the maximum retransmission of HARQ by the automatic repeat request entity.
Please refer to the another Application Example of the method for the invention.If transmitting terminal has 2 UDP (being the IP bag), behind division cascade, be divided into 3 PDU, sequence number (SN) is respectively 1,2,3, retransmit at HARQ behind the formation TB, receiving terminal is received behind the TB by after the decapsulation, be sent to the rearrangement entity, reset entity and reset, described protocol Data Unit is recombinated after removing information header then according to sequence number or segment sequence number.In this implementation procedure, if the number of retransmissions of transmission block surpasses predetermined maximum retransmission, HARQ then notifies ARQ to retransmit, when retransmitting PDU once more, can carry out division cascade to it once more, can be divided into PDU, i.e. SN=1 once more 1.1 and No. 1.2 such as No. 1 PDU, SSN=1 and SN=1, these 2 PDU of SSN=2.Like this in the rearrangement buffer memory of receiving terminal the order as shown in Figure 6.
This shows, cancelled the rearrangement of receiving terminal HARQ in the scheme of the present invention, promptly after receiving terminal HARQ receives correct TB, be sent to ARQ immediately, only reset and do, and can cancel, reduce the expense of data for HARQ transmission sequence number (TSN) at ARQ.Therefore, the present invention not only reduces the rearrangement number of times of data between protocol layer, and the reduced data header has also reduced the propagation delay time of data and the expense of minimizing data simultaneously.
In addition, if the transmission block that receives is made up of the protocol Data Unit of a plurality of automatic repeat request entities, then decompose receiving correct transmission block earlier, then the sub-transmission block after decomposing is sent to corresponding automatic repeat request entity, the implementation procedure of described each automatic repeat request entity is identical with the implementation procedure of the above-mentioned protocol Data Unit that receives single automatic repeat request entity, specifically see for details aforementionedly, do not repeat them here.
The above only is a preferred implementation of the present invention; should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, under the prerequisite that does not break away from the principle of the invention; can also make some improvements and modifications, these improvements and modifications also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
