Embodiment
A broad aspect of the present invention provides a kind of OFDM channelizing system and method, and wherein sub-band channel and diversity channel transmit in same OFDM symbol simultaneously.Each sub-band channel is used the subcarrier of one group of adjacency.Each diversity channel comprises one group of incomplete vicinity and all is the subcarrier of diversity in whole frequency band.In this general sense of using non--adjacency usually, at least some gaps are arranged between some subcarriers promptly.
Figure 1A shows according to an embodiment of the invention the coexistence of two types channel.In this example, some subcarrier is unified in the indication of 20 places, be exclusively used in diversity channel, and some subcarrier is unified in the indication of 22 places, is exclusively used in sub-band channel.As can be seen, during any given OFDM mark space, for example the OFDM symbol 24, and diversity channel and sub-band channel are supported simultaneously.In this particular instance of being illustrated, the OFDM sub-carrier set is divided into a plurality of subbands of each subcarrier that all includes fixed qty, and the total OFDM resource in time and the frequency domain is divided into Resource Block, and each Resource Block is made up of the subband (frequency) on the OFDM mark space of fixed qty (one or more).When Resource Block is assigned when being used for sub-band channel and using, all subcarriers of this Resource Block all are assigned to same sub-band channel.In some implementations, a given sub-band channel only allows to take single subband; In other was realized, a sub-band channel can take maximum two adjacent sub-bands.In other was realized, a given sub-band channel was allowed to take a plurality of adjacent sub-bands of any amount.A plurality of examples of sub-band channel definition are provided below.When Resource Block is assigned when being used for distributed channel and using, a plurality of distributed channels can use this Resource Block and other Resource Block, and perhaps single distributed channel can use whole Resource Block together with other non-conterminous Resource Block.A plurality of examples of distributed channel definition are provided below.In certain embodiments, the big or small selected function as coherence bandwidth of Resource Block makes and all experiences similar channel for the whole subband set of sub-band channel.In case whole sub-carrier band all is assigned to Resource Block, so each Resource Block just can be applied in the structure of diversity or sub-band channel fully.In the example of Figure 1A, this distribution can not change from an OFDM symbol duration (on the time orientation) to another OFDM symbol duration.In another embodiment, shown in the example of Figure 1B, can change for diversity channel or sub-band channel in time resource block assignments.In Figure 1B, as can be seen, during OFDM mark space 26, there are 4 Resource Block to be used to diversity channel and to have 3 Resource Block to be used to sub-band channel, and during OFDM mark space 28, have 4 Resource Block to be used to sub-band channel and to have 3 Resource Block to be used to diversity channel.In addition, it can also be seen that the distribution of Resource Block serves as that the basis changes with each OFDM symbol.Figure 1A has been used to illustrate in time with the particular instance of the resource block assignments of statistical definition.The quantity of Gu Ding Resource Block and assignment in time is to realize specific parameter.Similarly,, shown a kind of very special layout of Resource Block of the diversity channel of the sub-band channel that is used for changing in time, for example passed through dynamic assignment for the example of Figure 1B.Generally speaking, can use any suitable Resource Block layout to these two kinds of channel types.
With reference now to Fig. 2, another example of this channel of two types coexistence is described.In this example, the OFDM symbol is divided into TTI (Transmission Time Interval).Shown in example in, each TTI is made up of 7 continuous OFDM symbols.But, certainly use the symbol of any amount.Wherein a kind of such TTI indicates at 30 places.First symbol in each TTI promptly is used for the symbol 32 of first TTI, is used as reference symbol.This may for example comprise pilot tone and control information.Generally speaking, each TTI has at least one reference symbol, and all the other 6 OFDM symbols 34 are used to Traffic Channel.In frequency direction, the available bandwidth of subcarrier is divided into Resource Block.In a particular instance, each Resource Block can comprise 25 subcarriers.Then, each Resource Block is allocated for sub-band channel or diversity channel.In the example of being illustrated, Resource Block 36 is used to sub-band channel and Resource Block 38 is used to diversity channel.In this particular instance, resource block assignments fixes for sub-band channel and diversity channel, but in another is realized, can allow to change, just as the situation in the example of Figure 1B.In the example of Fig. 2, reference symbol is inserted in TDM (time division multiplexing) mode, and wherein per 7 symbols are a reference symbol, but can use different frequency.
After giving subband or diversity mode, there is the multiple mode of the subcarrier definition diversity subchannel that utilizes institute's assignment with subcarrier and the assignment of OFDM symbol duration.With reference now to Fig. 3, describe first example, in Fig. 3, reference symbol insertion, TTI size and resource block assignments hypothesis are with described identical with reference to figure 2.In the case, 3 the different diversity channels that utilized the resources definition distributed divide the resource that is used in first channel to indicate at 46 places.It is made up of following Resource Block: two OFDM symbols 40 arrive the single Resource Block during the TTI, and following two OFDM symbols 42 arrive the single Resource Block during the TTI, and two OFDM symbols 44 arrive single Resource Block 50 during the TTI again.The frequency location difference of forming 3 Resource Block of diversity channel, and Here it is why channel is considered to the reason of diversity channel.Show the similar distribution of Resource Block at channel 48 and 50.Shown in example in, all fix to the channel allocation of next TTI from a TTI, but needn't be always like this.What be readily appreciated that is, utilizes the model of Fig. 3, supposes to use to diversity channel and has distributed enough resources, then can create the diversity channel of any amount.In addition, as the situation shown in the example of Fig. 2, the quantity of the OFDM symbol in each TTI and the quantity of the subcarrier in each Resource Block all be considered to realize specific details.
With reference now to Fig. 4,, Fig. 4 shows another example of the coexistence of subband and diversity channel.By this example, available subcarrier is divided into Resource Block once more.In the example of being illustrated, each Resource Block is divided into 8 subcarriers, but can adopt other quantity.The OFDM symbol 60 of each TTI is used as reference symbol, and the reference symbol of illustrating in this particular instance is used to the frequency pilot sign insertion.In the example of being illustrated, suppose that the MIMO transmission has 4 transmitting antennas.Pilot tone has been inserted into corresponding distributed sub-carrier collection, and these sub-carrier set are assigned with the pilot tone as each antenna.In the particular instance of this signal, first subcarrier and per 4 subcarriers afterwards are used to first antenna; Second subcarrier and per 4 subcarriers afterwards are used to second antenna, and the rest may be inferred.In the frequency of a pilot tone of an antenna emission, other antenna emission is empty.Before next symbol comprised pilot frequency information, OFDM symbol 62 was used to transfer of data.As the situation in last example, several Resource Block 64 are assigned and are used for sub-band channel, and several Resource Block 66 are assigned and are used for diversity channel.In this example, subcarrier is used to assignment and is used for diversity channel to be implemented in 3 different diversity channels of 68,70,72 places indications.In this example, two OFDM symbols 47 are used to the first diversity subchannel; Following two OFDM symbols 76 are used to the second diversity subchannel 70, and the 3rd pair of OFDM symbol 78 is used to the 3rd diversity channel 72.Use at these channels on the meaning of subcarrier of Resource Block 66 of comfortable entire spectrum expansion, they remain diversity channel.Comparatively speaking, for sub-band channel, one or more Resource Block will be assigned to given user.Frequency decomposition between subband and the diversity channel can with many antenna scenario in identical.Yet, generally speaking, the decomposition between sub-band channel and the diversity channel needn't with the multiple transmit antennas situation in identical, and can be that the basis defines with each antenna.Shown a particular instance in Fig. 4, it is suitable for 4 system of transmit antennas.Certainly, can be to having still less or the back-up system of the antenna of greater number is done suitable correction.In addition, the specified arrangement of sub band resources piece and diversity Resource Block only is an example.Similarly, the quantity of the subcarrier in the size of TTI 62 and each Resource Block also be realize specific details.
For the OFDM symbol that is used for the pilot tone insertion among Fig. 4, for a given OFDM subcarrier, only individual antenna is launched a pilot tone.In this way, between from the pilot tone of each antenna, do not disturb.Therefore, pilot tone is dispersed among the embodiment of Fig. 4, wherein has the interval of 4 subcarriers and the interval between per 7 OFDM symbols between the pilot tone of given antenna.Generally speaking, the pilot design of dispersion be to frequency and on the time at interval each antenna all comprise a design of pilot tone.Fig. 5 shows another example of the pilot design of dispersion, and the pilot tone that wherein is used for each antenna all is inserted into rhombohedral lattice, and wherein antenna 1,2,3 and 4 pilot tone are indicated at 90,92,94 and 96 places respectively.The structure of the channel among Fig. 5 is to be used for 6 professional OFDM symbols 100 to form by the reference OFDM symbol 98 as control channel afterwards.For this example, control channel is used to launch the identical content from all antennas.The specific decomposition that is used for professional OFDM symbol 100 is identical with the situation of Fig. 4 example, and wherein sub-band channel is indicated at 120 places, and 3 diversity channels are indicated at 104,106 and 108 places.Yet, in the case, the rhombohedral lattice pilot frequency design punctured control channel 98 and data channel 100 the two.First punctures option is to have the pure puncture of being ignored simply from the actual content of each data channel.In the case, forward error correction coding or other error correcting technique must be employed so that the content that can recover to lose.Another option is the payload size that changes the channel with puncture place.For example, for first subchannel 102, as can be seen, under the situation that does not have pilot tone to insert, will there be a data position, OFDM symbol=48,8 subcarrier * 6.When having carried out puncture, wherein 6 positions are removed, and therefore only have 42 data positions now.If payload reduces in size in proportion, then forward error correction needn't depend on and recover any information of losing, and is not owing to puncture any information of losing that pilot channel causes at least.In Fig. 5, shown a very specific example.The quantity that it should be understood that the OFDM symbol of the data that are used for each time slot be realize specific details; The quantity of OFDM subcarrier is that realization is specific in each Resource Block; The specified arrangement of the pilot tone of scattering is that realization is specific; Employed antenna amount is that realization is specific; The configuration of sub-band channel and diversity channel and layout are that realization is specific.
Fig. 6 is the form how the particular system bandwidth is used to realize the various examples of OFDM channelization structure.
Being used for another general method of channelizing, be called as " time slot " dispatching cycle, this time slot is made up of the individual OFDM symbol of one group of L (L 〉=1).
All carrier waves in a time slot (time domain) and the whole frequency band (frequency domain) are regarded as the subcarrier pond.Time slot in the time domain is divided into M sub-slots, and each sub-slots comprises that one or more continuous OFDM symbol or symbols are right.Whole frequency band (frequency domain) is divided into N subband, and each subband comprises the subcarrier of a plurality of adjacency.Therefore, the subcarrier pond is divided into MxN Resource Block space effectively, and wherein each Resource Block comprises the subcarrier of one or more sub-slots and a plurality of adjacency.The duration of sub-slots is equivalent to the duration of Resource Block.Can serve as that M and N are upgraded statically based on business statistics in the basis dynamically or with several time slots based on time slot, M 〉=1 wherein, N 〉=2.
Consider that having inserted other OFDM symbol is used for reference, pilot tone or control, how the example that provides up to now meets this vague generalization is obviously.Two particular instances of Resource Block definition have been provided among Fig. 7.First example in 120 places indications, relates to the sub-carrier space with 48 subcarriers usually, and the slot length of being made up of 8 OFDM symbols.This time domain time slot is divided into M=2 sub-slots, and each sub-slots comprises 4 OFDM symbols, and frequency domain is divided into N=4 subband, and each subband comprises the subcarrier of 12 adjacency.The result has constituted one 4 * 2 Resource Block space.Second example usually in the indication of 122 places, comprises 8 same OFDM symbols of same group of 48 OFDM subcarriers and each time slot.In the case, all 8 OFDM symbols are used to define single sub-slots, and 48 OFDM subcarriers are divided into 8 subbands in frequency domain, and each subband comprises 6 OFDM subcarriers.Thus in this example, exist N=8 to multiply by the Resource Block space of M=1.
With reference to figure 8, there is shown another example of Resource Block definition, wherein 48 subcarriers on 8 OFDM symbols are divided into N=8 subband, and each subband has 6 OFDM subcarriers, and each all comprises 2 sub-slots of 4 OFDM symbols for 8 * 2 Resource Block space.
After having defined the Resource Block space of N * M, so each Resource Block can be used for subband or distributed channel.
Time slot can be configured to comprise two types channel, i.e. sub-band channel and diversity channel.Sub-band channel comprises continuous group of one or more Resource Block.Diversity channel comprises a plurality of subcarriers, and these subcarriers are distributed on a plurality of Resource Block.The a plurality of examples how division between sub-band channel and the diversity channel realizes in a time slot will be described below.In some above-mentioned examples, at first assignment sub-band channel resource, then all interior residual resource spaces of time slot just can be used for diversity channel.
Refer again to Fig. 8, in the example of being illustrated, single resource block assignments has been used to create first sub-band channel 130; 2 continuous in time Resource Block have been assigned to second sub-band channel 132, and 2 adjacent Resource Block have been allocated for the 3rd sub-band channel 133 on frequency domain.So remaining capacity just can be used for diversity channel.
Utilize the diversity channel definition of diversity sub-channelizing
In certain embodiments, the residual resource piece is used to define a diversity subchannel after sub-band channel is distributed, and each diversity channel is defined and comprises one or more diversity subchannels then.There is the multiple option that is used for the diversity sub-channelizing, will describes several examples below.In certain embodiments, the diversity subchannel is made always can cause identical diversity groups of subchannels by given one group of available subcarrier by system definition.Make in this way, suppose that transmitter and receiver all knows this systematized definition that just is being employed, the given one group of subcarrier that can use for the diversity sub-channelizing, transmitter and receiver all will be known this sub-channel structure.The sub-channelizing tree method that describes below is the example of this systematized subchannel define method.
In first example, carry out subband formula (sub-band-wise) sub-channelizing.By considering the subcarrier of at least one selection in the subband, the diversity subchannel is defined.This definition is then by required all Resource Block that can use diversity channel.In other words, this diversity subchannel comprises the corresponding subcarrier in the same position in each available subband of diversity channelization.For example, the diversity subchannel may be by first subcarrier of each available subband of diversity channelization is formed.
In another option, carry out the channelizing of remaining space formula.By considering that all (after the subband assignment) the remaining subcarriers in one or more OFDM symbols define the diversity subchannel.
In certain embodiments, how many OFDM symbols are the diversity subchannel that comprises identical definition no matter cross over and will be comprised in the Resource Block and use.In other embodiments, the diversity subchannel is defined in the Resource Block and changes from an OFDM symbol to the next one, for example passes through frequency hopping.Provide such example below.
Along with the diversity subchannel that defined like this, constitute diversity channel according to one or more these subchannels.
In certain embodiments, wherein the channel definition is unfixed, and the signaling that is adopted makes each travelling carriage know where their certain content is positioned at whole available resources.In an example of this signaling, adopt a two-dimensional bitmap to be used to indicate sub-band channel to be positioned at and where be positioned at comparison where with diversity channel.Be an example that is used for this two-dimensional bitmap of the resource assignation shown in Fig. 8 below, wherein:
N＝8，M＝2：
[1?0?1?0?0?0?0?0
0?0?1?0?0?1?1?0]
In this two-dimensional bitmap each " 1 " expression just is being assigned the Resource Block that uses to sub-band channel.Each " 1 " in Shang Mian the bitmap is a sub-band channel 130,132,133 shown in the corresponding diagram 8 how as can be seen.Then, in the two-dimensional bitmap each, send the signal of user ID.For example, can followingly send the signal of user ID 1,2 and 3 at 5 " 1 " that in this bitmap, occur:
{User?ID＝1
User?ID＝2
User?ID＝2
User?ID＝3
User?ID＝3}
Being used for another option of resource assignation signaling, can adopt the one dimension bitmap, whether will be comprised in this subband for each subband indication sub-band channel with single position.Be the example of this one dimension bitmap that is used for the assignment of Fig. 8 below:
N＝8[1?0?1?0?0?1?1?0]
This situation indication the first, the 3rd, the 6th and the 7th subband is used for the sub-band channel user, but does not represent that this specific channel allocation is to so keeping each subband.For realizing this,, transmit the information of identification number of users, and, transmit the information of initial sub-slots index and sub-slots quantity each user to each position " 1 " in this one dimension bitmap.
Be used for also option of resource assignation signaling, each Resource Block is given a corresponding area I D.For the particular condition of the sub-slots of the subband of N=8 and M=2, always have 16 Resource Block and 4 positions can be used for identified region ID.So at each zone, the signaling that is performed comprises area I D and the user ID that will transmit in this zone.
In general, in the place that the channel definition can change, can transmit any appropriate signaling information, which resource block assignments this signaling information makes it possible to determine to sub-band channel, and which Resource Block can be used diversity channel.Also can be each sub-band channel assignment and transmit user ID.
In certain embodiments, utilization has multilayer sub-channelizing tree and distributes to come the diversity subchannel, wherein the top layer in this tree comprises a plurality of nodes, each node is represented single subchannel, and each succeeding layer in this tree comprises one or more nodes, all subchannels that at least two nodes of one deck and representative were represented by these two nodes of this preceding one deck at least before each node in the succeeding layer comprised.Provide specific example below.So being defined, each diversity channel comprises one group of one or more subchannel of representing by the corresponding individual node in the sub-channelizing tree.
In order to send the diversity channel definition signal, can transmit the information that the corresponding individual node that makes in each diversity channel and the sub-channelizing tree is associated.Following specific example comprises bitmap and area I D.
Below will be respectively two examples by the diversity channelization of sub-channelizing definition be described with reference to figure 9A and 9B.These examples are all supposed the input of a subcarrier baseset, carry out sub-channelizing based on this baseset.Provide the exemplary method of the baseset of definition subcarrier below, say that the baseset of subcarrier may be with adjacency be just not enough.In these examples,, and utilize these K subcarriers to define the subchannel of L quantity by the subcarrier systematization definition diversity subchannel with use of K quantity.First option is to adopt the full-diversity tree method with the definition subchannel.Utilize the full-diversity tree method, if will will comprise a plurality of subcarriers in subchannel, then subchannel comprises non--contiguous subcarrier.The diversity tree method allows definition to comprise the sets of sub-channels of the subcarrier that quantity increases gradually.Utilize the example shown in Fig. 9 A, in the indication of 141 places, supposing has K=16 subcarrier usually.At the top layer of diversity tree, in the indication of 140 places, this K=16 subcarrier is used to define L=16 subchannel, is called sub-ch[16,0 usually] ..., sub-ch[16,15].Following one deck in the diversity tree is indicated at 142 places usually.At this, defined 8 subchannels and be marked as sub-ch[8,0] ..., sub-ch[8,7].Each of these subchannels is shown as two subchannels that comprise from the top layer of this tree.Thus, in the second layer 142, sub-ch[8,0] comprise the 0th and the 8th subcarrier.Repeat this process at follow-up each layer in this hierarchy.In the example of being illustrated, more layer 144,146 and 148 is arranged.Each subchannel in the 3rd layer 144 comprises 4 subcarriers, and each subchannel in the 4th layer 146 comprises 8 subcarriers, and the individual node in the layer 5 148 comprises all subcarriers.What should be readily understood that is how this example that provides expands to the subcarrier K that covers any amount.Use this sub-channelizing definition, given diversity channel can be defined to comprise one or more these subchannels.
In second example shown in Fig. 9 B, in the indication of 150 places, adopted a kind of hybrid diversity tree method usually.Top layer in this diversity tree 152 is identical with the top layer 140 of first example 141.Yet when generating the second layer, it is right from the adjacent sub-carrier of top layer to select.Thus, in the second layer 154, sub-ch[8,0] comprise two continuous subcarriers.After this, the subchannel of the second layer 154 can define the 3rd layer 156, the 4th layers 158 and layer 5 160 in the diversity tree then with combined with mode like first example class.Be readily understood that how to expand the method that provides in the example 150 once more to cover the subcarrier of any amount.In addition,, may comprise four continuous sub-carriers in another embodiment, for example in the 3rd layer of diversity tree 156 though in the example of being illustrated, combined two continuous sub-carriers.For example, 2,4 or 8 contiguous set can be used to support the STTD transformat.Baseset for subcarrier is the application of adjacency, the method for Fig. 9 B considered to disturb and and the better estimation of channel status because there is the contiguous set of subcarrier.
In another example, the diversity subchannel comprises based on the subcarrier frequency hopping in the time domain of the specific AD HOC in for example base station.A such example has been shown among Figure 10, wherein be the subcarrier following indication respectively that given diversity subchannel is selected: at first pair of OFDM symbol of 162 places indication, the indication of 164 places is a pair of OFDM symbol down, and 166 places indicate the 3rd pair of OFDM symbol, and indicate the 4th pair of OFDM symbol at 168 places.Subcarrier 162,164,166,168 is all in a subband.In this example, subband has 16 subcarriers, but is readily understood that how to expand the subcarrier of this notion to the interior any amount of subband.In Figure 10, expression formula (+12) %16 has defined the subcarrier frequency hopping that takes place at this particular instance.It means and is defining first sub-carrier positions (for example utilize sub-channelizing tree) afterwards, by current location is added 12 (this numeral 1 to 16 index may in abutting connection with or the subcarrier baseset of any definition of adjacency not) carry out mould 16 computings then and determine the right sub-carrier positions of next OFDM symbol.Utilize given example, as can be seen, can define 16 different subchannels on 4 pairs of OFDM symbols in a subband.In general, can adopt any suitable subcarrier frequency hopping mechanism; Certainly should mechanism need be deterministic at it can be on the meaning that receiver is reappeared.In the superincumbent example, the subcarrier frequency hopping is crossed over the OFDM symbol to taking place; In general, this frequency hopping can occur in the time interval of any definition of one or more OFDM symbols.
State one of scheme in the use and defined after the diversity subchannel, the definition diversity channel is to comprise one or more diversity subchannels.Can utilize addressing mechanism to discern diversity channel.In an example, this addressing can be based on the position in the sub-channelizing tree.Later with reference to the example among the figure 9, if single diversity channel only is one of them subchannel of speaking of in the second layer 142, so this diversity channel can utilize and allow any mechanism of this position in this tree of identification to discern.
With reference now to Figure 11, provides a particular instance of diversity channel addressing.For this example, have 8 subcarriers, these subcarriers have been used to be created in has 8 nodes in the ground floor 172, have 4 nodes in the second layer 174, in the 3rd layer 174, have 2 nodes, and in the 4th layer of 4 layers of diversity tree with 1 node.First option is based on bitmap and carries out addressing.For the subchannel of the L=8 in the ground floor, the big young pathbreaker of this bitmap is 15, because have only 15 nodes in this tree altogether.As providing bitmap, can launch a bitmap to indicate which diversity channel occupied, together with the user ID of occupied subchannel as the situation of option of the signal that takies that sends available sub-band channel.This combination will be specified the content of diversity channel fully.In another example, each node in this tree is assigned with one " area I D ", because 15 nodes are arranged, can use 4 each nodes of discerning uniquely in this tree.For example, in the example of being illustrated, area I D " 0010 " discerns one of them node in this tree the 3rd layer.As can be seen, the diversity channel with this area I D will comprise subcarrier 8,10,12 and 14.Any diversity subchannel definition how bitmap and area I D method can be applied to propose up to now is conspicuous.
In certain embodiments, be applied to can be used for all subbands that diversity is transmitted such as above-mentioned subchannel definition, and during given time slot or sub-slots, same user is assigned with this combination ability.Provide one of them example referring now to Figure 12, comprising 2 sub-slots 182,184 and comprising in the given time slot 180 of 8 subbands 186～200, as shown in 202,204,206 distributed 3 subband users.The residue subband is used to the diversity sub-channelizing.Shown in example in, each frequency band comprises 8 subcarriers, and can be as such use the shown in usually is similar to this sub-channelizing of describing with reference to Figure 11 at 208 places.By same sub-channelizing being applied to the unallocated subband user's of giving all sub-slots and subband, can define a plurality of diversity channels.Illustrate two kinds of specific diversity channels by way of example, its sub-carriers 201 is used to define first diversity channel, and subcarrier 212 is used to define second diversity channel.In the case, this distribution is based on time slot, and wherein sub-channelizing is applied to whole time slot, is assigned to given diversity channel then.For continuous OFDM symbol for, the subcarrier that is assigned to each subband in this example be offset each other a subcarrier ground between two groups alternately, this just above with reference to example of the described frequency hopping of Figure 10.As can be seen, still there is the space for a plurality of additional diversity channels.Then, can only discern this diversity channel by the position of diversity channel in bitmap or area I D.For example, diversity channel 210 will only be discerned by position in the bitmap 4 or area I D " 0100 ".Similarly, diversity channel 211 will be discerned by position in the bitmap 6 or area I D " 0110 ", be an example of the diversity channel assignment signalling that has this meaning that can adopt below:
Situation for bitmap
Bitmap
To each position 1
{ user ID }
Situation for area I D
Number of users
For number of users
{ user ID
Area I D}
Can use signaling as follows notify two diversity channels shown in Fig. 2:
User ID=4, area I D=0100
User ID=5, area I D=0110
In another example, diversity channel is the basis definition with the sub-slots.An example like this is shown in Figure 13.This example comprises the sub-slots identical with Figure 12, sub band structure, and comprises same 3 subband users 202,204,206.In addition, use identical diversity tree 208 to define and the recognin channel.In the case, 3 different diversity channels have been illustrated.The subcarrier that is used for first diversity channel illustrates 220, and the subcarrier that is used for second diversity channel illustrates 222, and the subcarrier that is used for the 3rd diversity channel illustrates 224.In the case, as can be seen, the content of first diversity channel 220 crossed over sub-slots 182,184 the two; The content of second diversity channel 222 only is positioned at first sub-slots 182, and the content of the 3rd diversity channel 224 only is positioned at second sub-slots 184.Therefore, given diversity channel can be assigned in 2 sub-slots one or another, perhaps, distributes to this 2 sub-slots simultaneously.Be how to realize the example of diversity channel assignment signalling below with the sub-slots content of notifying this realization:
Situation for bitmap
To each sub-slots
{ bitmap
For each position 1
{ user ID }
Situation for area I D
To each sub-slots
{ number of users
For number of users
{ user ID
Area I D }
For the specific diversity channel shown in Figure 13, can use following signaling to discern diversity channel fully:
For the diversity user
For sub-slots 0
User ID=4, area I D=0100
User ID=5, area I D=0110
For sub-slots 1
User ID=4, area I D=0100
User ID=6, area I D=1001
Note, in the example of Figure 12 and 13, adopt each all to comprise two sub-slots and subcarrier frequency hoppings that the OFDM symbol is right at each subchannel.For example, as can be seen, the subchannel of being discerned by area I D 0100 (subchannel that diversity channel 222 uses) is offset two subcarriers the 2nd OFDM symbol centering of sub-slots 182.Obviously, the subcarrier frequency hopping can be applied to maybe can shall not be applied in the given realization.In addition, how the example of Figure 12 and 13 being expanded to any time slot definition, the definition of norator time slot, the subcarrier of any amount and the subband of any amount is obviously equally.
Above-mentioned example is the example of subband formula channelizing.In another is realized, by considering that distributing all remaining subcarriers of back to create the diversity channel tree in sub-band channel utilizes diversity channelization, this just so-called remaining space formula channelizing.
In first example, this diversity channelization can be that carry out on the basis with the sub-slots, and also is that carry out on the basis with the sub-slots to the distribution of travelling carriage.Provide a such example referring now to Figure 14, define wherein that a kind of each subband comprises 6 subcarriers by 230,232 and 8 structure of time slot that subband 234～248 is formed of 2 sub-slots, and 3 subband users indicate at 250,252,254 places.During first sub-slots 230, the available subcarrier of the diversity channelization that is useful on is all in the combination of 356 places, and then, these subcarriers just can be used for creating all trees of sub-channelizing as the aforementioned.Then, can utilize as bitmap in the previous example and area I D definition diversity channel.Shown in example in, during first sub-slots, exist 36 to can be used for the subcarriers that the diversity channel tree is created, and during second sub-slots 232, the subcarrier that can be used for diversity channelization is indicated, and has 30 such subcarriers as can be seen at 258 places.
In another was realized, the remaining subcarrier of all in each sub-slots all made up as the situation of the example among Figure 14, then made up these two groups of subcarriers and tabulated to create single sub-carrier, and utilize the tabulation of being made up to carry out the diversity sub-channelizing.With reference to Figure 15, Figure 15 shows such example, wherein is combined to create single tabulation 258 from the subcarrier 256 of first sub-slots 230 with from the subcarrier 258 of second sub-slots 232, and tabulation 258 is used to create diversity sub-channelizing tree structure then.In the case, the distribution to travelling carriage will serve as that carry out on the basis with each time slot.In another example of diversity channel definition, be positioned at a time slot and at first listed at all residue subcarriers of given subband.These tabulations based on subband are combined into a total tabulation that is used for whole time slot then, and utilize the list creating diversity sub-channelizing tree of this combination.Then, serve as that the distribution to travelling carriage is carried out on the basis with each time slot.Provided a such example among Figure 16, wherein identical sub-slots and sub band structure and subband user distribute same situation as the example among Figure 15 to illustrate.Available subcarrier in second sub-slots 232 is organized by the subband of 260 places indication.These subbands are used to the Assembly Listing 262 that diversity sub-channelizing tree generates with the subband combination of first sub-slots 230 of tissue similarly thereafter to generate then.
The time slot diversity channel tree of introducing has above defined as follows and has made any one sub-band channel distribution can not influence time slot diversity channel tree structure and can be used for assigned resources.Provided other example of time slot diversity channel tree below.Purpose for the following embodiments of the invention that provide, this time slot diversity channel tree is used the diversity subchannel of L the subcarrier that comprises quantification, and each time slot comprises M the OFDM symbol (perhaps M group is determined size, and is for example paired, OFDM symbol) of quantification.This structure of time slot can provide by the following method:
For given OFDM symbol, available subcarrier is divided into the L group.According to the subcarrier N that can be used for the diversity subchannel TotSum, subchannel N ChQuantity will be N Ch=N Tot/ (L), because each subchannel has L subcarrier.For each OFDM symbol (or glossary of symbols) (m=1,2 ..., M), get a subcarrier by each group from L group and define N ChIndividual subchannel.In a particular instance shown in Figure 17, M=10, L=24.Thus, a subchannel is to create by getting a subcarrier each group in OFDM symbol (or glossary of symbols) m.A diversity channel comprises 24 subcarriers.The quantity N of subcarrier depends on available bandwidth.For these specific quantities N=3,6,12,25,39,53, bandwidth is respectively 1.25MHz, 2.5MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz.Shown in example in, the position that is included in the subcarrier in each group in the given subchannel all is identical.Therefore, for first subchannel 272 of anticipating shown in Figure 17, it comprises first subcarrier of 24 each groups in the group.
Carry out sub-channelizing and go up the subclass of the corresponding subchannel that defines with each that defines that one group of basis subchannel makes this organize that basic subchannel is included in a plurality of OFDM symbols (or OFDM glossary of symbols).Equal a plurality of groups of quantity of the subchannel that will define by available subcarrier being divided into quantity, and randomly from each group, get a subcarrier and can define subchannel as the example of Figure 17 in same position.Yet, can use other to define the method for subchannel.Ding Yi subchannel (on a plurality of OFDM symbols or OFDM glossary of symbols) for example utilizes the sub-channelizing tree so can be combined into as the diversity channel in the previous examples thus.
Figure 18 shows and uses the example of organizing the diversity sub-channelizing of basic subchannel as this that defines among Figure 17.With reference to the general hybrid diversity tree method of describing of figure 9B, still also can use the more general any method that subchannel combinations is become diversity channel before using.Shown in example in, paired " adjacent " subchannel in Figure 18 in first combination layer combination (being called layer 5～80).Note, according to the definition of this base set of subcarrier, the adjacent sub-carrier in this subband that may or may not can cause in first combination layer, defining.The input of sub-channelizing is similar to reference to as described in Figure 17.Particularly, take out the available subcarrier of the diversity sub-channelizing that is useful on all symbols in this time slot (or each group code), and according to creating the individual channel tree structure in these subcarriers.In the example of being illustrated, single time slot by 10 symbols to forming, and right for first, second and the tenth symbol, have to come one group of right available subcarrier of each symbol of comfortable 288,290,292 places indication respectively.Basic diversity subchannel is indicated at 294 places and is comprised from a right subcarrier of each symbol.Yet, make up so that there is the mode combining diversity subchannel of paired continuous subcarrier at the following one deck at 286 places.All the other diversity trees are to utilize other layer in the indication of 294,296,298,300 places to make up as previously mentioned.
With reference now to Figure 19～23,, and will provide one group of example that sub-band channel defines.Recall utilize sub-band channel be given subband user assignment in given time slot in frequency and one of adjacency group of resource all on the time.Suppose that Resource Block has N subcarrier on the individual OFDM symbol of M (M 〉=1), by on M OFDM mark space of J group, giving the subband user with these resource allocations for their assignment K * N subcarriers (in other words, K Resource Block, K 〉=1), in this J 〉=1.The least unit of subband assignment is single Resource Block.Figure 19 shows time domain and moves from left to right along axle 302, and the structure of time slot that frequency domain from top to bottom moves along frequency domain axle 304.This structure of time slot comprises that 5 OFDM symbols are to (that is, M=2) and 8 subbands.Each last possible subband is existed in the corresponding resource blocks 306 of indicating in the T/F plane for each group code.For example, Resource Block 308 is made up of same first subband of the subcarrier on first pair of OFDM symbol.How for the subband of any amount in total frequency band and how to be that (or set of M 〉=1 an OFDM symbol) prepared this decomposition is tangible for the OFDM symbol of any amount in the time slot.Usually the time domain tree structure of indicating at 310 places takes into account and defines any one group of continuous OFDM symbol effectively to (or set of M 〉=1 an OFDM symbol).Ground floor on this tree has and is equal to the right resolution of each OFDM symbol.In the example of being illustrated, 5 nodes will be arranged, in this tree though this is not to separate with the node of Resource Block to illustrate.Following one deck in this tree comprises node 312,314,316,318, and a pair of continuous OFDM symbol of the unique identification of each node is right.For example, it is right that node 312 will be discerned the first and second OFDM symbols, and the 3rd layer in this tree has node 320,322,324.3 continuous OFDM symbols of all unique identification of each such node are right.For example, node 320 will be discerned 3 continuous combinations that the OFDM symbol is right.In the 4th layer, it is right that node 326 and 328 is all discerned 4 continuous OFDM symbols.For example, node 326 and 4 OFDM symbols are to being associated.At last,, have individual node 330 at the layer 5 of this tree, its will with all 5 OFDM symbols of this time slot to being associated.Therefore, by each node in this tree of unique identification (having 5+4+3+2+1=15 node), can any continuous right set of OFDM symbol of unique identification.As the situation in the definition of aforesaid diversity, time domain tree 310 can have relevant bitmap or realm identifier to quote the interior specific node of this tree.
Similar table structure of definition is to realize in abutting connection with unique the quoting of any one permission combination of subband in frequency domain.In some implementations, maximum two adjacent sub-bands can be combined into a sub-band channel.In other is realized, allow any a plurality of combination.In the example of being illustrated, a complete tree (not shown) will have 8 nodes at ground floor, at the second layer 7 nodes or the like be arranged, altogether 36 nodes.For example utilize bitmap or area I D can discern these nodes once more.
In a particular instance, can utilize 4 arbitrary nodes of discerning in the time domain tree 310, and can utilize 6 arbitrary nodes of discerning in the frequency domain.
Defined time domain tree 310 and frequency domain and set, can be by setting node of discerning and the incompatible definition of discerning according to the frequency domain tree of groups of nodes sub-band channel arbitrarily according to time domain.Be the example purpose, illustrated the part of frequency domain tree.For example, specific sub-band channel of 150 places in Figure 19 indication, it comprises the subband of 3 adjacency in to the duration at two continuous OFDM symbols.This subband can be by coming unique identification for the time domain tree node identifier of node 314 with for the combination of the frequency domain tree node identifier of node 360.This embodiment allows the optional position of sub band resources in whole resource space to be assigned.
In another embodiment, all sub-band channel resources all are to (generally speaking, first symbol of M symbol or first group) beginning assignment from this first symbol.This allows to realize that a simpler time domain is set and its expense is littler.Yet, still have the shortcoming of underaction.Figure 20 shows a such example, wherein usually only comprises the node of the combination that continuous OFDM symbol that representative begins from the time slot starting point is right in the time domain tree of 370 places indication.Node 372 representative 2 OFDM symbols are right, and next node 374 representative 3 OFDM symbols are right, and next node 376 representative 4 OFDM symbols are right, and top node 378 represents all 5 OFDM symbols right.This tree does not allow reference example right as the third and fourth continuous OFDM symbol.Yet as can be seen, owing in this tree 5 nodes (supposing to have comprised first node 371) are only arranged, it can only utilize 3 and represent.This frequency domain tree structure can be identical with the described structure of reference Figure 19.
Notice that given realization may limit the quantity of the continuous subband that can be combined into sub-band channel, for example, may be to have only maximum 2 subbands to be combined into a given sub-band channel.In the case, the frequency domain tree will only have 2 layers, each subband of the unique identification of ground floor, and the unique identification of the second layer is any a pair of in abutting connection with subband.In the case, for the example that has 8 sub-tape base plinth among Figure 19,15 nodes altogether in the frequency domain will have 7 nodes in following one deck of this tree, and can utilize 4 to come these nodes of unique identification.
With reference to Figure 21, Figure 21 shows for so a kind of realization, i.e. how the realization of Figure 19 carries out sub-band channel identification, but has only maximum two sub-these access units of tape base to be combined in sub-band channel.This can be seen that, in time domain tree 310, still have 15 nodes, and these nodes can by the position in the bitmap (be called 1,2 ... 15) identification, 4 node ID shown in perhaps utilizing are discerned.Similarly, in the common frequency domain tree in the indication of 380 places, this tree only comprises above-mentioned two-layer and have 15 nodes altogether, each node can or pass through in the bitmap the position (1,2 ... 15), perhaps 4 node identifiers are discerned.Therefore, always have in 8 sub-band channel that example allowed that are used for discerning Figure 21 any one.In addition, the node name agreement of using in frequency domain or time domain need not be identical.For example, can use the bitmap scheme in time domain and use node ID in frequency domain, vice versa.It will also be appreciated that and to use any one suitable node naming convention.A specific subchannel illustrates at 382 places, and it is made up of two last continuous subbands two OFDM symbols.For by 10,001,011 8 bit identifiers of forming, this node identifier may be the combination of time domain node identifier (1000) and frequency domain node identifier (1011).
In another embodiment of the present invention, be not each node of mark in time domain and frequency domain respectively, but the frequency domain node and the time domain node each arrange the uniquely tagged area I D that has respectively separately.For the example of Figure 21, for 225 nodes altogether that provide unique identifier separately, domain node and 15 frequency domain nodes when having 15.Therefore, still can use 8 each of coming in these 255 nodes of unique identification.Figure 22 shows a such example, and it is identical with tree structure among Figure 21, but each node is a uniquely tagged.In Figure 22, have only which node relevant to be labeled, because the time domain tree is extended from these nodes with first subband.Yet, will be presented the situation of uniquely tagged for each node, be the corresponding time domain tree that each subband makes up all meanings as shown.Owing to there are 255 nodes, 8 bit identifiers shown in can using come these nodes of unique identification.
In another example of definition of the channel of sub-band channel and name, adopt a kind of two step schemes.In a first step, use bitmap to discern the Resource Block that can be used for the sub-band channel definition.For example, 4 OFDM symbols in the structure of time slot formed by 8 subbands, total resources will be made up of 32 Resource Block, therefore can use 32 two-dimensional bitmap to come to discern it for each Resource Block and whether can be used for sub-band channel and use.The 400 places indication in Figure 23 A of resource space for 4 * 8, an example of this two-dimensional bitmap.Below be a example for the two-dimensional bitmap 400 of the particular instance of Figure 23 A:
[1?0?0?0?0?0?1?1
1?0?0?0?1?0?1?1
1?0?1?0?0?0?0?0
0?0?1?0?0?1?1?0]
Figure 23 B shows another example of the subband assignment of using this scheme.In the case, indicate at 408 places in this two-dimensional bitmap.
Next procedure is to use the systematic naming method method to name can to utilize each sub-band channel of using the combination of Resource Block being discerned or Resource Block to create at sub-band channel by bitmap.Use the purpose of " systematic naming method method " can as one man be applied to network for location to provide identical result nothing but this method.In the specific example that Figure 23 A is illustrated, carry out a kind of two step schemes for unified name.At first, in frequency domain, utilize each subband that has provided title to carry out name, and have one group under the situation of subband, utilize these continuous subbands to make up the frequency domain tree.In the example of being illustrated, the first name step indicate at 402 places, as can be seen, an OFDM symbol to during, in bitmap, have discerned 3 subbands and can be used for sub-band channel use, and they are identified as 1,2,3 respectively.In addition, be adjacency owing to be labeled as 2 and 3 subband, a tree is set up thus, and this will cause being labeled as another node of 4.During next OFDM symbol, have 4 subbands to can be used for sub-band channel and use, and they are marked as 5,6,7 and 8, and the combination that is labeled as 7 and 8 subband has been marked as 9.During the 3rd OFDM symbol, only have 2 subbands to use, and they are labeled as 10 and 11 owing to sub-band channel.The 4th OFDM symbol to during, have 3 subbands to can be used for sub-band channel and use, and they are marked as 12,13 and 14 be adjacency owing to be labeled as 13 and 14 subband, exist to be labeled as another node of 15.Next, as in the indication of 404 places, set up tree structure in the suitable place in time domain.This also systematically finishes.In the example of being illustrated, this begins to carry out from the top at frequency domain.Therefore, because node 1,5 and 10 is continuous for given subband in time, any arrangement 1,2 or 3 of these Resource Block is effective sub-band channel definition.Therefore, it is right that node 16 and 17 is used to be identified as right continuous symbol, and node 18 is used to discern wherein all combinations of 3.In addition, node 19 is added into the combination that is used for instructs node 12 and 13; Node 20 is added into the combination that is used for instructs node 2 and 7; And node 21 is added into the combination that is used for instructs node 3 and 8; At last, node 22 is added into the combination that is used for instructs node 4 and 6.Node 22 will be referred to comprise the module of four resources of node 2,3,7 and 8.
After having finished such naming convention, always have 22 nodes and can use 22 bitmap or can use 5 node ID to come any these arrangements of distributes resource blocks so that use with given sub-band channel.Node ID and bitmap can be used for notifying uniquely the sub-band channel structure together with original two dimensional bitmap 400.
For the example of Figure 23 B, do not exist in abutting connection with subband, therefore in frequency domain, there is not tree structure.
Be an example that can be used for carrying out the signaling of channel allocation below in conjunction with bitmap.
Quantity allotted=00010
U1 (first user's user identifier), node ID=01110, physical parameter
U2 (second user's user identifier), node ID=10110, physical parameter
A kind of specific naming convention has been described with reference to figure 23A and 23B.Generally speaking, at first notified will be used for sub-band channelization Resource Block (for example, utilizing bitmap) afterwards, can use any systematic naming method to arrange to discern each arrangement on the continuous sub-slots in abutting connection with subband.
The assigned resources of Miao Shuing is given in the method for sub-band channel and diversity channel in the above, has supposed the sub-band channel resource by at first assignment, and diversity channel is given in the remaining then assignment that is used to.In another embodiment, can not produce the system schema of this difference to sub-band channel and diversity channel definition use.On the contrary, whole frequency band can be used for sub-band channel use and diversity channel use simultaneously.Yet, when having conflict, give a channel type or another channel type priority.In one embodiment, when given subcarrier be assigned be used for sub-band channel or diversity channel the two the time, the content of diversity channel is breakdown or omit, and subcarrier is used to the sub-band channel content.The recipient of this diversity channel can utilize signaling information to understand which subcarrier quilt puncture of taking a message of their diversity channel, will know that thus which subcarrier is left in the basket.
In first embodiment, use sub-band channel definition scheme the sub carrier group of last adjacency to be defined sub-band channel to allow to utilize one or more OFDM symbols or symbol according to any one example that provides above.After this, the diversity subchannel utilizes all subcarriers in this frequency band.So specific diversity user is assigned with one or more these diversity subchannels.Under the overlapping situation of the diversity channel and the sub-band channel of being distributed, the diversity channel content is left in the basket to support the sub-band channel content.
With reference now to Figure 24, describing a particular instance, wherein is that an exemplary time slot of preparing in 4 * 4 Resource Block spaces shows sub-this access unit of tape base structure of time slot at 410 places, and each Resource Block multiply by 2 OFDM symbols by 8 subcarriers to be formed.Therefore, each node in the tree 410 is represented 8 subcarriers on two OFDM symbols.Tree structure shown in this allows any a pair of continuous basic access unit to be combined in the sub-band channel.In certain embodiments, a plurality of combinations of 8 subcarriers of position adjacency also can be combined to generate this sub-band channel, as the situation in the previous examples.Therefore, can be used to define sub-band channel from any piece of tree 410 node, as long as they are being rectangle in shape.Show complete or collected works prevailingly for 32 subcarriers of the right subcarrier of last OFDM symbol of tree in 410 at 412 places.These 32 subcarriers are used to define the basic access unit of diversity channel definition, i.e. diversity channel.In the example of being illustrated, these 32 subcarriers by with 4 be one group of arrangement, and per the 4th subcarrier is assigned to same diversity subchannel.The diversity sub-channelizing is generally indicated at 414 places by tree.Lowermost layer diversity subchannel is indicated at 417 places.For wherein one group in 4 one group subcarrier of 412 places indication, one of them of these subchannels 415 is illustrated to comprise first subcarrier.Similarly, for 16 diversity subchannels altogether, be respectively first, second and the 3rd OFDM symbol to defining 4 diversity subchannels.As can be seen, each diversity subchannel comprises 8 subcarriers, this with this example in sub-band channel in identical.So diversity sub-channelizing tree 414 diversity channels that just can be used to define as the combination of diversity subchannel.For example, this tree in node 419 will form by a combination of 4 diversity subchannels, all these first symbol to during the realization.
With reference now to Figure 25,, Figure 25 shows an example of the subchannel that how can discern the associating definition.In the particular instance of being illustrated, each node that basic access unit time slot tree 410 neutralizations that are used for sub-band channel are used for the basic access unit time slot tree 414 of diversity sub-channelizing can use to indicate this user identifier will use this channel explicitly with user identifier, and this channel is sub-band channel or diversity channel.In another possible realization, transmit the bitmap that comprises corresponding position at each subchannel, wherein each is " 1 " with occupied position.Outside this, can transmit the user identifier relevant and will take this channel to discern which user with each " 1 ".In particular instance illustrated in Figure 25, in subband tree, 40 nodes are arranged and 31 nodes are arranged in diversity tree 414 and thereby can to use 71 bitmaps to discern which subchannel occupied.
With reference now to Figure 26,, Figure 16 shows the particular instance that sub-channelizing uses, and has 7 sub-band channel 416 occupied at this in subband tree 410, and has 7 diversity channels 418 occupied in diversity tree 414.
For the example of Figure 24 to 26, suppose that each single node can be used for defining sub-band channel or diversity channel in subband tree or the diversity tree.In some implementations, some node that only activates in this tree is favourable.For example, will need the situation of the combination of at least two basic access unit, comprise that the coxopodite point in the subband basic access unit is useful for wherein minimum subband because these nodes never at them from using on one's body.Can more effectively discern specific channel architecture by the node number that reduces in the tree.For example, if use bitmap, then can transmit less bitmap and discern the interior efficient channel of this " effectively " channel set and where be positioned at.Generally speaking, this method is which that will notify this tree partly is effectively, then to this effective node XM name, and utilizes the node of name thus to carry out channel allocation.This partial tree activate scheme can with the use that combines of sub-band channel tree and/or diversity sub-channelizing tree or the two.
In first example, in order to activate partial tree, by notifying the interior effective top layer of this tree and notifying all layers that effective bottom will be set in this tree to come along activation or activation.Such example is shown in Figure 27, indicates at 420 places usually.5 layers of tree 422 have been shown among Figure 27, have wished in these 5 layers of trees, only to activate third and fourth layer node.In other words, the channel that comprises 5 subchannels of individual layer is under an embargo, and is under an embargo corresponding to the channel of the second layer (8 subchannels) or ground floor (all subchannels).This can realize for bottom for the 4th layer of top layer by notifying the 3rd layer, this will indicate this effectively tree be usually in the tree of 424 places indication.Can utilize aforesaid any one example to carry out the node name at this point to name each node in this effective tree.In the particular instance of being illustrated, effectively in the tree 12 nodes are only being arranged, therefore one 12 bitmap can be used or 4 area I D can be used to discern each node.
In another example, this scheme is defined top layer and bottom by further refining with a plurality of sections of allowing in this tree, and each tree is by a corresponding top node definition.An example like this is also shown in Figure 27, indicates at 430 places usually.At this, show identical 5 layers of tree 422, and have two sections, first section 432 has top node 431, and the top layer in this tree that will be activated under this top node is the 3rd layer, is the 4th layer with the bottom that is activated.Similarly, for having second section 434 of top node 435, the top layer that activate is the second layer, is the 3rd layer and want the bottom of bottom.Resultant effective tree is indicated at 436 places.Any suitable nomenclature scheme can be used to name the node of identification thus once more.In the particular instance of being illustrated, always have 9 nodes, therefore can use 9 bitmaps or 4 realm identifiers.Be to be used in reference to an example that is shown with the signaling mechanism of imitating tree structure below.
The hop count amount
For certain
The Tcp node
The top layer of tree
The bottom of tree
For the example among Figure 27 1:
Hop count amount=1
Top layer=3, bottom=4
For the example among Figure 27 2:
Hop count amount=2:
For section 1 (top node ID=00001, top layer=3, bottom=4)
For section 2 (top node ID=00010, top layer=2, bottom=3)
According to one embodiment of present invention, Figure 28 has proposed to use another part tree activation mechanism of binding tree method.Utilizing this method, is not the bottom to top node, top layer and the tree of the tree of each section notice in a plurality of sections, but to each section notice top node and the bottom of notifying each top node.Therefore, all nodes that quilt under each top node recognizes relevant top layer have downwards effectively been comprised in the tree at this.In the example of Figure 28,5 layers of tree are indicated at 440 places, and will have 2 top nodes 441 to be comprised in this effectively in the tree, and the 4th layer of top layer position.Therefore, the effective tree that is produced is the tree of the general indication at 442 places.Utilize effective tree of so setting up, can utilize any one group of suitable method, for example previously described a certain method is carried out the node name.
According to one embodiment of present invention, Figure 29 has proposed to use the another kind of partial tree activation mechanism of node Activiation method.Utilize this method, at first, effective all nodes in the overall tree of identification.This can realize by for example utilizing bitmap.In case the node of lesser amt is identified thus, name remaining effective node with regard to utilizing suitable naming method.Figure 29 shows a such example, wherein shows 5 layers of tree that comprise 31 nodes at 444 places.A subclass of these nodes is selected as effectively, and these nodes are included among Figure 29 with 7 nodes shown in the black matrix.Can transmit 31 bitmaps is effective to indicate 7 nodes.Then, such as effective time slot tree in the indication of 446 places, can name each effective node.In the example of being illustrated, owing to there are 7 effective nodes, can use 3 to come each node of unique identification, perhaps can use 7 bitmaps to indicate which node to be used in this effective time slot tree.In the case, as can be seen, there is a unbalanced resource allocation, because the node in this effective time slot tree has the resource of the varying number of distributing to them.
Can be lentamente or dynamically upgrade and form this effectively node of tree, in certain embodiments, can upgrade whole tree.In other embodiments, in this tree only which part of having changed be updated so that reduce expense.Figure 30 has illustrated two specific examples.In first example, use top node to define to need in this tree the part revised (or section).Preferably, this top node is considered to use whole tree, promptly before with tree-pruning being effective tree.In the example 1 of Figure 30, effectively set 450 and need be corrected so that become effective tree 452.Therefore, to the whole tree identifier of node 451 identifications, then provide new lastest imformation for this node.In this example, its bottom by this node is formed, and definition refers again to whole tree at layer.Only notify this individual node 451 and lastest imformation thereof than notifying whole effective tree more effective again.
In the example 2 of Figure 30, notify top node again, the node that uses bitmap which indicates face toward then will be after correction effectively.Therefore, after having discerned node 455, refer again to this whole tree, can use bitmap to indicate which node will be effectively in the effective tree 456 after renewal.In the example of being illustrated, it is made up of 3 nodes 457.
With reference now to Figure 31,, Figure 31 will provide two particular instances of assignment signalling.For bit map method, transmit a bitmap and be assigned with, and notify corresponding user ID at each node to indicate which node in this effective tree.Be for a this bitmap of the effective tree 460 among Figure 31 and an example of user ID signaling below:
Bitmap:
100011111000
User ID: U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U6
In another example, be not to use bitmap, but each node ID is distributed to each user ID.An example has been shown among Figure 31, and wherein the quantity assignment of node ID is 2.An example of operable signaling is as follows:
Quantity allotted=0010 (2)
User ID U1 distributes to node ID=0000,
User ID U2 distributes to node ID=0100
In all other examples described here,, also can transmit physical layer parameter explicitly with assignment signalling if do not know recipient's priority.
With reference to Figure 32,3 other signaling examples have been described by way of example.In first example, to indicate at 464 places usually, which effective node 7 bitmaps can be used for indicating be assigned with, then for the user ID of each transmission in this bitmap.For the example of being illustrated, can use following signaling:
Bitmap 1110110
User ID: U1, U2, U3, U4, U5
For second example of general indication, can use node to distribute at 466 places.Can following use signaling:
Quantity allotted=010 (2)
User ID U1 distributes to node 000;
User ID U2 distributes to node 001.
In Figure 32, show the 3rd example in 468 place's generality.In this example, use all 7 effective nodes, therefore must transmit a bitmap and be assigned with to indicate which effective node.On the contrary, only need to give each effective node notice user identifier.
Static partition
Based on subband and diversity user's difference and their business load, this subregion can keep a period of time and can upgrade by signaling at a slow speed.Any above-mentioned method all can be used for static partition.
Dynamic partition
In certain embodiments, for each time slot, dynamically generate subregion between subband and the diversity channel based on dispatching algorithm.Subregion can dynamically be broadcasted by two-dimensional bitmap.Any above-mentioned method may be used to dynamic partition.
Having described wherein at first assignment sub-band channel utilizes the residual resource piece to generate the example of diversity channel then.In some embodiment that implement this assignment order, define a threshold value, be used to limit the amount of the total transfer resource that can distribute to the subband user.Its reason is, if the subband CU too much frequency spectrum, be used to define the diversity channel that has for other frequency diversity of acceptor level of given application definition but then may not can be left enough frequency spectrums.In some implementations, in case reach this threshold value, just do not allow to dispatch other sub-band channel.In other is realized, in case reach this threshold value, just do not allow to dispatch diversity channel, and make remaining bandwidth can be used for the sub-band channel use.
The example that the complete or collected works that wherein utilize the OFDM subcarrier define diversity channel and wherein take the sub-band channel assignment from the subcarrier of given diversity subchannel away has been described.The threshold value setting is to guarantee having enough resources to be used for the transmission of diversity channel like can application class.In certain embodiments, defined threshold value about the quantity of sub-band channel bandwidth occupancy.
The closed portion resource
According to one embodiment of present invention, provide a kind of mechanism of closing that is used to support the part resource of bandwidth.The part resource (POPR) of closing bandwidth can be used in some situation, so that cover by allowing dynamically to close the subcarrier control presence of intercell interference on the local time slot and strengthening the sub-district.The position of POPR and size can be that sub-district (base station) is specific in this time slot, and can dynamically close and open.
Can use various examples to realize allowing dynamically to enable the signaling of POPR control.For the situation that the POPR bandwidth is slowly upgraded, can use bitmap to discern will pent resource.For example, one dimension (each corresponding subband, wherein first is used for first subband) or two-dimensional bitmap (each corresponding Resource Block).
With reference now to Figure 33,, an one dimension bitmap can be used to notify by 500 general POPR situations of indicating, and wherein as can be seen, subband 0 and subband 6 will be by Temporarily Closeds.The one dimension bitmap can be used for indication and close these subbands.Be an example of this bitmap below:
Example 1-one dimension bitmap (frequency domain)
[0 111110 1], first corresponding to first subband
In second example, use a two-dimensional bitmap.This makes can close subband during the specified time interval in a structure of time slot.An example like this is usually in the indication of 502 places of Figure 33, and one of them independently is used to each Resource Block in the position.In the case, can use 32 bitmaps.As selection, can at first use the additional information of one dimension bitmap that is used for frequency domain to indicate affected subband how to be affected together with these subbands of indication.Be the example of a frequency domain bitmap that is used for the example 502 of Figure 33 below:
Frequency domain
[1 011111 0]-＞ subband 1 and 7 is influenced
Utilizing one dimension frequency domain bitmap to discern after subband 1 and 7 is affected, can be the one dimension bitmap that each affected frequency domain subband generates time domain.Be its example below, it indicates the OFDM symbol in second subband that (generally speaking, OFDM symbol or one group of M 〉=1 symbol) 2 is closed, and the OFDM symbol 3 in the 7th subband is closed:

When arriving the time of definition diversity channel, for example, utilize previous described diversity subchannelization technique, necessary is, and transmitter and receiver all understands that the subcarrier that is taken by POPR is not useable for diversity channel makes up.In the case, the diversity channel that reduces of size can be used for transmitting the data that quantity reduces; As selection, can transmit the data of equal number, expectation can be in receiver the redundancy in the equilibrium criterion with the carrier wave of compensating missing.
In the other method that the POPR position is provided, this can distribute to the sky user by the sub band resources that will close simply and realize, for example in this mode, and MAC ID=0, these channels will can not be used.So just provide a kind of of resource very simply to dynamically update to closing.
Scheduling
According to various embodiments of the present invention, proposed to support the scheduling scheme of subband and/or diversity user's OFDM air interface below.
When the schedule forward link resource, there is in 3 situation to consider;
All users are the subband users;
All users are the diversity users;
Be mixed with subband user and diversity user.
In certain embodiments, given travelling carriage can want to report that it still is that diversity channel distributes that subband CIR or full range band CIR indicate its preference sub-band channel by indicating it.In some implementations, each travelling carriage wants any system just to give it what.Yet in other was realized, although travelling carriage has indicated it whether to want to report subband CIR full range band CIR, scheduler program had determined which user of indication preference subband report in fact to report subband CIR.For example, scheduler program can be indicated travelling carriage it would rather be based on reporting one or more subband CIR and be unwilling to report full range band CIR that such as type of service, buffer sizes, geometry or diversity user vice versa with the factor of subband user's ratio.Generally speaking, dispatching each user still is that diversity channel can be carried out according to the information that the user receives for sub-band channel.
Preceding two kinds of situations (that is, all users are that subband user or all users are the diversity user) are easy to handle, because the user that next user that will dispatch dispatches before can not disturbing.Yet the third situation promptly is mixed with subband and diversity user, and is more complicated.Group is taken a message when being scheduled, and it can be taken subcarrier away from a plurality of diversity channels.If dispatched the diversity user before the subband user, then in same time slot, the lazy weight that is retained in the subcarrier in the diversity channel is to transmit with the data transfer rate that distributes.
Above three kinds of situations can utilize scheduling scheme described below to handle.According to embodiments of the invention, the scheme that is proposed is according to above-mentioned channelization scheme.Yet sensu lato notion is not limited thereto, but can be applied to other channelization scheme, for example comprises, if diversity channel is taken subcarrier away the perhaps situation of the employed subcarrier mutual exclusion of sub-band channel and diversity channel from sub-band channel.
With reference to Figure 40, provide following scheduling scheme according to one embodiment of present invention:
4C-1) create two-dimentional priority matrix, wherein a N bIndividual row are represented the priority of each user to single frequency band, and last row representative is to the priority of whole frequency band.If travelling carriage does not have the CIR of report about each single frequency band, then each subband priority of user is set to 0.For being the travelling carriage that some or all subbands are reported CIR, if do not report full range band CIR, then the diversity priority is set to 0.If not only reported full range band CIR but also reported subband CIR, and if subband CIR be mapped to identical data transfer rate with full range band CIR, then the subband priority is set to 0, in the case, may be no advantage for allocated subbands.Be example, wherein a P of this matrix below I, jBe the priority of i user at j frequency band, and P iBe the priority of i user for whole frequency band.Can use any suitable priority scheme.
P 1,1 P 1,2 · · · P 1 , N b P 1 P 2 , 1 P 2 , 2 · · · P 2 , N b P 2 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · P n , 1 P n , 2 · · · P n , N b P n
4C-2) create an available band tabulation, it comprises the two basic subchannel and each unit size on each transmitting antenna of diversity and sub-band channel.An example of this channel list is as follows, wherein D iBe the diversity channel unit, and S iBe sub-band channel unit (identical) with the Resource Block of definition before.By provide row to use identical method for each antenna to the antenna of any amount (one or more).
Channel Elements Available subcarrier on the antenna 1 Available subcarrier on the antenna 2
D 1 B D，1 (1) B D，1 (2)
D 2 B D，2 (1) B D，2 (2)
… … …
D d B D，d (1) B D，d (2)
S 1 B S，1 (1) B S，1 (2)
… … …
S s B S，s (1) B S，s (2)
4C-3) from two-dimentional priority matrix, select to have the user of highest priority.
Is 4C-4) user the subband user?
If the user is subband user (yes path, step 40-4), then at step 40-5, if on selected subband, there is available sub-band channel (yes path, step 40-8), if and the influence of the diversity channel of previous scheduling is lower than threshold value (yes path, step 40-9) (for example, the quantity of the subcarrier that can take away from diversity channel, and still allow diversity channel to be rescheduled) with the data transfer rate of the equivalence that before had been assigned with, or preferably do not have an influence, then will divide and match the influence of all diversity channels and be lower than the sub-band channel of threshold value at step 40-11.In certain embodiments, distribute subchannel with minimum influence.If the influence to the diversity user is not less than threshold value (no path, step 40-9),, then can select not dispatch this subband user if then the diversity channel of previous scheduling can't be reallocated (no path, step 40-10).Therefore, user's priority can be set to 0 and return step 40-3 at step 40-14, otherwise continues.If affected diversity channel can be reallocated (yes path, step 40-10), then this subband user is scheduled, and the diversity user is reallocated at step 40-12.
After scheduling, the sub-band channel of being distributed is removed from available channel list, and upgraded the size of (available with scheduling) diversity channel at step 40-13.
If the user is diversity user (no path, step 40-4), then distribute diversity channel to give the user at step 40-6.
If have the available channel that will distribute and have more user to dispatch, then return step 40-3.
Described a kind of very concrete dispatching method with reference to Figure 40, this is a kind of very concrete combination of the adoptable feature of scheduler program.Generally speaking, the subclass of these features can occur in given realization.
For example, in certain embodiments, provide a kind of dispatching method that each receiver is dispatched to sub-band channel or diversity channel according to the information that receives from receiver that relates to.Select subband or subband CQI information or to subband still be the preference of diversity channel be three examples of this information.
In certain embodiments, this method is related to each receiver definition priority, and attempts each receiver of scheduling with priority order.
According to one embodiment of present invention, under the situation of MIMO transmission, utilize and for example press antenna rate controlled (PARC) or space-time emission diversity (STTD), scheduling process is identical.Yet, use PARC and some users use the mixed scenario of STTD for PARC or for some users, will safeguard available channel list and priority matrix for each transmitting antenna.Although top shown example is at the MIMO situation, these scheduling schemes that reach following statement above all can be applicable to an arrangement of antennas.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, not that the diversity user for previous scheduling redistributes resource after having dispatched the subband user, but scheduler program can calculate the required stock number of the diversity user of each scheduling, distributes actual diversity channel after selected and subband user is assigned with sub-band channel the user.
After having determined of the influence of allocated subbands channel, can consider the quantity of the subcarrier that in diversity channel, keeps and the distance between the subcarrier simultaneously to diversity channel.Allocation of subbands should make the minimum number of the subcarrier that takes out from diversity channel, and the distance between the remaining subcarrier should maximize.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, provide multi-slot/permanent resource allocative decision in the following manner.Under the situation with the latency sensitive services of constant grouping arrival rate, as VoIP, scheduler program can be allocated a plurality of time slots of being separated with the interval of the arrival rate that equals to divide into groups in advance.The benefit of distributing a plurality of time slots is that it has reduced signaling consumption.Because the voip user is dispatched in advance, only utilizes said method to dispatch non-voip user.
Multi-slot distributes can be from first OFDM sign-on of this time slot.Do not take a symbol fully if multi-slot distributes, the residue subcarrier in this symbol belongs to same channel format (diversity or subband) so.In a scheduling example, the quantity that is used for multi-slot channel transmitted unit is notified by the base station.In other words, notice is the quantity of Channel Elements but not user, data transfer rate and channel.This just allows other user to understand has what to be allocated in advance, makes them know that current distribution begins wherefrom, and can avoid the signaling relevant with discerning user, data transfer rate and channel, because it is identical with original allocation.Impermanent channel allocation can be from first Channel Elements of residue Channel Elements.
When the user was dispatched a plurality of time slot in advance, data transfer rate and stock number can remain unchanged.In order to follow the tracks of each user's channel, can use power management to replace rate controlled.If given user's channels to improve then can be given the subcarrier that distributes this user with less power assignment, and more power is distributed to the user with poor channel conditions.In case distributed the multi-slot form,, then can carry out the subsequent subband assignment if it does not puncture any one subcarrier from the multi-slot channel that is distributed.
In certain embodiments, when detecting the quiet time slot from the user in the time slot of determined number is being given in the base station, this permanent allocation is removed up to detecting a non-quiet time slot in the base station.
Generally speaking, in certain embodiments, scheduling be implemented in case on a plurality of time slots some resources of assignment for good and all and other resource of assignment non-permanently.In certain embodiments, the resource of permanent assignment be positioned at each time slot begin locate and transmit indication how many resources are arranged by the signaling information of permanent assignment, wherein impermanently occur in assignment after permanent assignment.
The VoIP business is to benefit from the particular instance of permanent assignment in conjunction with the type of service of synchronous HARQ.
Provide in one embodiment of the present of invention of synchronous HARQ at permanent assignment capacity, only have two MCS (modulation and encoding scheme) layer to be used to the VoIP business for VoIP.MCS distributes when calling out beginning, and only just changes when transmitter (as the base station) detects marked change among the average report CQI of receiver (travelling carriage).
Because MCS is constant to a plurality of transmission when the CQI of travelling carriage changes, and can use power management to improve the use of resource.For this purpose, travelling carriage is reported CQI to the base station; This CQI report can take place in any form.That instantiation comprises is multistage, difference, unit lifting/lowering, two position lifting/lowering/no changes.
Power is based on that the CQI of travelling carriage report regulates.Do not need additional signaling from the signaling of the travelling carriage of going to the station to meet somebody.Mapping between the CQI of power adjustments amount and report is used to select this power adjustments; This mapping all is known for base station and travelling carriage.
In certain embodiments, if travelling carriage report CQI is mapped to the MCS higher than existing MCS, then power is reduced for the specified amount of difference between two MCS ranks.If travelling carriage report CQI is mapped to the MCS lower than existing MCS, then do not carry out power adjustments.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, permanent and impermanent transmission all can be used asynchronous HARQ, and wherein all retransmission packet all are assigned with a priority that is higher than retransmission packet.In the case, can dispatch re-transmission once receiving NAK.The grouping that retransmits can be assigned with modulation identical with initial transmission and encoding scheme, yet the channel that is distributed can be different.
For the context that is provided for embodiments of the invention to be used for communication system, Figure 35 shows base station controller (BSC) 610, it controls the radio communication in a plurality of sub-districts 612, these sub-districts provide service by relevant base station 614.Usually, each base station 614 utilizes communicating by letter of OFDM promotion and travelling carriage and/or wireless terminal 616, and travelling carriage and/or wireless terminal are positioned at the sub-district 612 relevant with relevant base station 614.Travelling carriage 616 is with respect to the mobile remarkable fluctuation that causes channel condition of base station 614.As shown in the figure, base station 614 can comprise the space diversity of a plurality of antennas to be provided for communicating by letter with travelling carriage 616.
Before the 26S Proteasome Structure and Function details of further investigation preferred embodiment, the high-level overview of travelling carriage 616 and base station 614 is provided, the present invention can realize based on these aspects.With reference to Figure 36, wherein illustrated base station 614.Base station 614 generally includes control system 620, baseband processor 622, radiating circuit 624, receiving circuit 626, a plurality of antenna 628 and network interface 630.The radiofrequency signal (illustrating among Figure 35) of beared information is provided from the one or more distance transmitters that provided by travelling carriage 616 receiving circuit 626.Low noise amplifier and filter (not shown) can be provided, and they are collaborative to be used to amplify and the broad-band interference removed from signal is used for processing.The signal that down-conversion and digitizer (not shown) will filter then, receive down-converts to intermediate frequency or baseband frequency signal, and this signal is digitized as one or more digital streams then.
Received signal after the baseband processor 622 processing digitlizations is with information conveyed or the data bit in received signal of extracting.This processing typically comprises demodulation, decoding and error-correction operation.Therefore, baseband processor 622 normally realizes in one or more digital signal processors (DSP) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (ASIC), and the information that is received is crossed over wireless networks via network interface 630 then and transmitted or be transferred to another travelling carriage 616 by 614 servers in base station.
In emission one side, baseband processor 622 receives digitalized data from network interface 630 under the control of control system 620, and this digitalized data can be represented speech, data or control information, and these data of encoding are used for transmission.Data behind the coding are output to radiating circuit 624, are had the carrier signal modulation of the tranmitting frequency of expectation in these data.The carrier signal that the power amplifier (not shown) will amplify after the modulation is the level that is suitable for transmitting, and the carrier signal after will modulating is sent to antenna 628 by the network (not shown) that mates.Describe modulation below in detail and handle details.
With reference to Figure 37, Figure 37 has illustrated according to the travelling carriage 616 of one embodiment of the invention configuration.Similar with base station 614, travelling carriage 616 will comprise control system 632, baseband processor 634, radiating circuit 636, receiving circuit 638, one or more antenna 640 and user interface circuit 642.Receiving circuit 638 receives the radiofrequency signal of beared information from one or more base stations 614.Low noise amplifier and filter (not shown) can be provided, and they are collaborative to be used to amplify and the broad-band interference removed from signal is used for processing.The signal that down-conversion and digitizer (not shown) will filter then, receive down-converts to intermediate frequency or baseband frequency signal, and this signal is digitized as one or more digital streams then.
Received signal after the baseband processor 634 processing digitlizations is with information conveyed or the data bit in received signal of extracting.This processing typically comprises demodulation, decoding and error-correction operation.Baseband processor 634 normally realizes in one or more digital signal processors (DSP) or application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (ASIC).
In order to transmit, baseband processor 634 receives digitized data from control system 632, and digitalized data can be represented speech, data or control information, and these data of encoding are used for transmission.Data behind the coding are output to radiating circuit 636, are used for modulating the carrier signal that is in the tranmitting frequency with expectation at the modulated device of these data.The carrier signal that the power amplifier (not shown) will amplify after the modulation is the level that is suitable for transmitting, and the carrier signal after will modulating is sent to antenna 640 by the network (not shown) that mates.Obtainable various modulation of those skilled in the art and treatment technology are used to the signal transmission between travelling carriage and the base station.
In OFDM modulation, that transmission band is divided into is a plurality of, the carrier wave of quadrature.Each carrier wave is modulated according to the numerical data that will transmit.Because OFDM is divided into a plurality of carrier waves with transmission band, the bandwidth of each carrier wave reduces and the modulating time of each carrier wave increases.Because a plurality of carrier waves are parallel transmissions, the speed when being lower than when the single carrier wave of use at the transmission rate of numerical data or symbol on any particular carrier wave.
OFDM debugging is at the characteristic of will information transmitted using invert fast fourier transformation (IFFT).For demodulation, then use fast Fourier transform (FFT) to recover information transmitted at the signal that receives.In fact, IFFT and the FFT that is provided by Digital Signal Processing realized inverse discrete Fourier transformer inverse-discrete (IDFT) and discrete Fourier transform (DFT) (DFT) respectively.Therefore, the feature of OFDM modulation is the carrier wave that generates quadrature for a plurality of frequency bands in the transmission channel.Signal after the modulation is the digital signal that has relatively low transmission rate and can stop in their frequency bands separately.Directly do not modulate independent carrier wave according to digital signal.On the contrary, all carrier waves are handled simultaneously modulated by IFFT.
When operation, OFDM is optimized for base station 614 to down link and/or ul transmissions between the travelling carriage 616.Each base station 614 is equipped with the individual transmitting antenna 628 in " r " (〉=1), and each travelling carriage 616 is equipped with the individual reception antenna 640 in " m " (〉=1).It should be noted that and utilize suitable duplexer or the corresponding antenna of transducer can be used for receiving and transmission, and mark for clarity and like this only.
With reference to Figure 38, a logic OFDM transmission architecture will be described.At first, base station controller 610 will transmit to send each travelling carriage 616 to data to the base station 614.Base station 614 can use the channel quality indicator (CQI) relevant with this travelling carriage to come data dispatching to be used for transmission, and the data of dispatching in order to transmit are selected suitable coding and modulation.614 places determine the information that CQI may be directly provides from travelling carriage 616 or based on travelling carriage 616 in the base station.Under any situation, the CQI of each travelling carriage 616 is that channel magnitude (or response) is crossed over the function of the degree of OFDM frequency band variation.
The data 644 of scheduling, it is a bit stream, may reduce the mode of the peak-average power ratio rate relevant with these data by scramble to utilize data scramble logic 646.For the data of scramble are determined a Cyclic Redundancy Check and are utilized CRC to add data after logic 648 appends to scramble.Then, utilize channel encoder logic 650 to carry out chnnel coding so that add redundant effectively to data to promote recovery and error correction at travelling carriage 616 places.May carry out chnnel coding based on CQI to specific travelling carriage 616 once more.In some implementations, channel encoder logic 650 uses known spy to broadcast coding techniques.Data behind the coding are then handled with the compensation data expansion relevant with coding by rate-matched logic 652.
Position interleaver logic 654 systematically the position in the data behind the record coding so that the loss of continuous data position minimize.According to the baseband modulation that mapping logic 656 is selected, the result data position systematically is mapped as corresponding symbol.In certain embodiments, use quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) or Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK).The degree of modulation can be selected based on the CQI of this specific travelling carriage.Utilize symbol interleaver logic 658, symbol can systematically be write down the vulnerability to jamming of the periodic data that is caused by frequency selective fading being lost with the signal of further support transmission.
In this, hyte has been mapped as the symbol of the position in expression amplitude and the phase constellation.When expecting space diversity, then by space-time block code (STC) encoder logic 660 process symbol pieces, STC encoder logic 660 more can be anti-interference with a kind of signal of feasible transmission and be easier to revise symbol in the mode of travelling carriage 616 decodings.STC encoder logic 660 will be handled incoming symbol and " n " output corresponding to the quantity of the transmitting antenna 628 of base station 614 will be provided.Above-mentioned control system 20 and/or baseband processor 622 about Figure 36 will provide mapping control signal to control STC coding.In this, suppose for the symbolic representation data that will transmit of " n " output and can be moved platform 616 and recover.
For given example, suppose that base station 614 has two antennas 28 (n=2) and STC encoder logic 660 that two output symbol streams are provided.Therefore, each symbols streams of being exported by STC encoder logic 660 is addressed to corresponding IFFT processor 662, illustrates separately respectively for the purpose of easy to understand.What person of skill in the art will appreciate that is, can use one or more processors combine so that this Digital Signal Processing to be provided separately or with other processing described here, preferably IFFT processor 662 based on each symbol manipulation so that inverse Fourier transform to be provided.The output of IFFT processor 662 provides the symbol in the time domain.Every group of time-domain symbol (every " frame ") by 662 outputs of IFFT processor is associated with the prefix of inserting logic 664 insertions by prefix.Each consequential signal is up-converted to intermediate frequency and is converted to analog signal via corresponding digital up-conversion (DUC) and number-Mo (D/A) change-over circuit 666 in numeric field.Result's (simulation) signal is then modulated simultaneously, is amplified and transmitted via RF circuit 668 and antenna 628 in the RF frequency of expectation.Can also transmit the known pilot signal of predetermined travelling carriage 616.These signals for example can be scattered among the subcarrier.To use pilot signal to be used for channel estimating the travelling carriage 616 that goes through below.Note, provide user content how can be mapped to many examples of OFDM subcarrier above.In the particular instance of Figure 38, different subbands and diversity channel suitably are mapped to the input of IFFT function.A channelizer (not shown) utilizes above-mentioned arbitrary scheme that sign map is arrived the OFDM subcarrier.
With reference now to Figure 39,, illustrated among the figure to receive the signal that is transmitted by travelling carriage 616.The signal one that transmits arrives each antenna 640 of travelling carriage 616, and corresponding signal is just by RF circuit 670 demodulation of correspondence and amplification.For the sake of simplicity with clear for the purpose of, only describe in detail and illustrated one of them of two RX path.Mould-number (A/D) converter and lower frequency changer circuit 672 are that digital signal and down-conversion are used for digital processing with analog signal conversion.Signal after result's the digital processing can be used to control the Amplifier Gain in the RF circuit 670 based on the signal level that receives by automatic gain control circuit (AGC) 674.
At first, the signal after the digital processing is provided for synchronous logic 676, and synchronous logic 676 comprises thick synchronous logic 678, and the thick some OFDM symbols of synchronous logic 678 buffer memorys also calculate two automatic correlations between the continuous OFDM symbol.Peaked time index as a result corresponding to this correlated results has been determined a thin sync search window, and this window is used to determine accurate frame synchronization original position based on head by thin synchronous logic 680.The output of thin synchronous logic 680 has promoted the frame collection that frame alignment logic 684 is carried out.It is important that suitable frame is aimed at provides an accurate transformation from the time domain to the frequency domain so that FFT subsequently handles.Thin synchronized algorithm is based on the correlation between the pilot signal of the reception of carrying out according to the local replica of head and known pilot data.In case taking place, frame aims at collection, then use the prefix of prefix removal logic 686 removal OFDM symbols and result's sampling to be sent to frequency offset correction logic 688, the system frequency excursion that 688 compensation of frequency offset correction logic are caused by the unmatched local oscillator in the transmitter and receiver.Preferably, synchronous logic 676 comprises frequency shift (FS) and clock estimation logic 682, and frequency shift (FS) and clock estimation logic 682 offer correcting logic 688 suitably to handle the OFDM symbol based on head with this influence on the signal that helps to estimate to transmit and with these estimations.
In this, the OFDM symbol in the time domain is ready to utilize FFT processing logic 690 to be transformed into frequency domain.The result is a frequency domain symbol, and frequency domain symbol is transmitted to processing logic 692.Processing logic 692 utilizes scattered pilots extract out the pilot signal of scattering of logic 694 of extracting, and utilizes channel estimating logic 696 to determine channel estimating based on the pilot signal of being extracted, and utilizes channel reconstruction logic 698 that the channel response of all subcarriers is provided.In order to determine the channel response of each subcarrier, pilot signal is a plurality of frequency pilot signs that run through the scattering among data symbol of OFDM subcarrier with pattern known in time and frequency basically.Continue Figure 39, processing logic with the frequency pilot sign that received with in the subcarrier of determining at the compare channel response of the subcarrier that is transmitted with definite wherein frequency pilot sign of desired frequency pilot sign of the moment of determining.This result is interpolated to estimate that great majority (if not whole words) do not provide the channel response of the residue subcarrier of frequency pilot sign for it.The actual channel with interpolation is corresponding to be used to estimate whole channel response, and it comprises the channel response of great majority (if not the whole words) subcarrier in the OFDM channel.
Be provided for STC decoder 700 according to channel response for frequency domain symbol and the channel reconstruction information that each RX path draws, STC decoder 700 provides the symbol of STC decoding to recover to transmit on the path of two receptions.When handling corresponding frequency domain symbol, channel reconstruction information provides enough equalization information to eliminate the influence of transmission channel for STC decoder 700.
Utilize symbol deinterleaver logic 702, restored symbol is put back in order, and deinterleaver logic 702 is corresponding to the symbol interleaver logic 658 of transmitter.The symbol that deinterleaves is gone mapping logic 704 to go to be mapped as corresponding bit-stream by demodulation or utilization then.Then utilize position deinterleaver logic 706 to deinterleave these, position deinterleaver logic 706 is corresponding to the position interleaver logic 654 of transmitter architecture.Position after deinterleaving then by speed go matching logic 708 handle and submit to channel decoder logic 710 with the data of recovering initial scramble and CRC effect and.Therefore, CRC logic 712 remove the CRC effects and, the data of verification scramble in a usual manner, and data are offered descrambling logic 714 be used to utilize known base station descrambling code descrambling to recover the initial data 716 that transmit.
Can determine a CQI concurrently with restore data 716 or 614 create the enough information of CQI and mail to base station 614 in the base station.As previously noted, CQI can be the function that carrier wave-interference ratio (CR) and channel response are crossed over the degree of each sub-carrier variations in the OFDM frequency band.Embodiment hereto, the channel gain that is used to each subcarrier in the OFDM frequency band of the information that transmits are compared to each other mutually to determine that channel gain crosses over the degree that the OFDM frequency band changes.Although there are many technology to can be used for measuring the degree of variation, wherein a kind of technology is used to calculate the standard deviation of the channel gain of each subcarrier that runs through the OFDM frequency band that is used to transmit data.
