Embodiment
In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
Method provided by the invention mainly comprises: when NodeB receives at the scheduling resource information of UE or release non-scheduling resource notice, start default calibration timer and carry out timing; If the timing duration of this calibration timer reaches default time threshold, this NodeB does not receive upstream data or the signaling that this UE sends as yet, and do not send authorization message to this UE, then NodeB is this UE allocation schedule resource, and sends the SS order by the descending scheduling resource of HSDPA or HSUPA to this UE.
Wherein, the descending scheduling resource of HSDPA can be HS-SCCH, and the descending scheduling resource of HSUPA can be E-AGCH.
Default time threshold can be less than or equal to the uplink synchronous retention time of system.
In the method, if the timing duration of this calibration timer does not reach default time threshold as yet, NodeB receives upstream data or the signaling that this UE sends, and then restarts default calibration timer and carries out timing; If the timing duration of this calibration timer does not reach default time threshold as yet, NodeB sends authorization message to this UE, then stop the timing of this calibration timer, and when the resource continuous time of distributing for this UE finishes, restart default calibration timer and carry out timing, wherein, the resource continuous temporal information of distributing for this UE is carried in the authorization message.
In addition, before this method, RNC is UE configuration schedules resource or non-scheduling resource according to the service condition of UE, if for UE has disposed scheduling resource, then can send this scheduling resource information or discharge the non-scheduling resource notice to NodeB, carries out said method this moment; If for UE has disposed non-scheduling resource, then this RNC can send non-scheduling resource information to NodeB, at this moment, after NodeB receives non-scheduling resource information, can adopt the non-scheduled transmission of HSUPA to keep uplink synchronous.
Understand for convenience, this method is described below in conjunction with specific embodiment.The method flow diagram that Fig. 3 provides for the embodiment of the invention, as shown in Figure 3, this method can may further comprise the steps:
Step 301:NodeB judges whether that to UE has disposed non-scheduling resource if then execution in step 307, if not, then execution in step 302.
In this step,, then be defined as UE and disposed non-scheduling resource if NodeB receives the non-scheduling resource information at this UE that RNC sends; If receive that RNC sends at the scheduling resource information of this UE but do not receive non-scheduling resource information, the notice at the release non-scheduling resource of this UE that receives perhaps that RNC sends then determines to be UE distribution non-scheduling resource.
When step 302:NodeB receives at the scheduling resource information of UE or release non-scheduling resource notice, start default calibration timer and carry out timing.
In this step, can increase new functional entity, promptly calibrate timer for NodeB.If when NodeB receives at the scheduling resource information of this UE or release non-scheduling resource notice, should calibrate timer and be set to enable (Enable) state, and start the calibration timer and carry out timing.
Whether step 303:NodeB receives upstream data or the signaling that UE sends in the time threshold of calibration timer, perhaps send authorization message to UE.If not, execution in step 304 then; If, judge that then whether what receive is upstream data or the signaling that UE sends in time threshold, if what receive is upstream data or the signaling that UE sends, then execution in step 305, otherwise, execution in step 306.
Calibration Preset Time thresholding regularly can specifically be provided with according to the requirement of uplink synchronous retention time, the uplink synchronous retention time that this time threshold is less than or equal to system is set, thereby avoid NodeB after the scheduling resource information or release non-scheduling resource notice that receive at this UE, can not be UE allocation schedule resource for a long time.
The timing of this calibration timer can be adopted the mode of counting, and the timing of the accurate timer of each TTI high-ranking officers adds 1.Can add 1, the judgement in carry out this step when promptly each TTI finishes at every turn.
In this step, it can be UE in the ACK that sends on the HS-SICH or NACK or the dispatch request that sends on E-RUCCH or E-PUCH etc. that NodeB receives upstream data that UE sends or signaling.
Step 304: the calibration timer reaches when presetting thresholding, and NodeB is this UE allocation schedule resource immediately, and this UE is carried out same step calibration, and sends the SS order by HS-SCCH or E-AGCH to this UE.When treating that NodeB receives upstream data that UE sends or signaling, execution in step 305.
In this step, if reaching default thresholding, the calibration timer do not receive upstream data or the signaling that this UE sends yet, do not send authorization message to this UE yet, show that NodeB is not this UE allocation schedule resource as yet, in order to keep the uplink synchronous stability of UE, NodeB is this UE allocation schedule resource immediately.Can adopt this UE to be set to the mode of the limit priority of resource allocation, make NodeB can be this UE allocation schedule resource immediately.
In addition, normally channel circumstance is abominable or do not have business datum to be passed for the reason of this UE allocation schedule resource owing to not have for a long time, and therefore, NodeB can be minimal code channel resource and the MIN power resource that this UE distribution is preset.The scheduling resource that utilizes this distribution is to calibrating the launch time of UE, and calibration information is carried in the SS order sends to this UE.
When sending the SS order to UE, can send to this UE by the descending scheduling resource of HSDPA or HSUPA, promptly the SS order can be sent, also the SS order can be sent by the E-AGCH that uses in the HSUPA data transmission procedure by the HS-SCCH that uses in the HSDPA transfer of data.
Step 305: restart the calibration timer and carry out timing, go to execution in step 303.
NodeB receives upstream data that UE sends or signaling and shows that this NodeB for this UE has distributed scheduling resource, therefore, can restart the calibration timer, carries out next time that NodeB is the control of the time of this UE allocation schedule resource, prevents the step-out of UE.
When step 306:NodeB sends authorization message to this UE, stop the timing of this calibration timer, after waiting to receive the upstream data or signaling of this UE transmission, execution in step 305.
In this step, NodeB sends authorization message to this UE and shows that this NodeB has distributed scheduling resource for this UE, therefore, can be when this UE sends authorization message at NodeB, stop this calibration timer timing, be that this scheduling resource distribution at this UE is finished, need do not carry out the control of this scheduling of resource time; When treating to finish for resource continuous time that this UE distributes, restart the calibration timer, beginning is the control of the time of this UE allocation schedule resource next time, prevents the step-out of UE.
When NodeB sends authorization message to this UE, use E-AGCH to send, referring to Fig. 2, therefore, NodeB can wait for Δ T+T after sending authorization message to UE
RDIDuration after restart the calibration timer.Wherein, Δ T is the time interval between the E-PUCH transmission for the first time after D-AGCH and this D-AGCH, and value is between 4 to 15 time slots usually; T
RDIBe the duration for the scheduling resource in this UE branch of authorization message indication.
Step 307:NodeB receive that RNC sends at the non-scheduling resource information of this UE the time, adopt non-scheduled transmission to keep uplink synchronous, and close the calibration timer.
Close the calibration timer, be about to calibrate timer and be set to close (Disable) state, this calibration timer stops timing.
In this step, distributed non-scheduling resource if RNC is UE, then this RNC sends non-scheduling resource information to NodeB and UE, and UE can utilize distributed time slot and code channel to send upstream data on E-PUCH according to this non-scheduling resource information.Data on this non-scheduling resource E-PUCH send complete discontinuous transmission (DTX) pattern that adopts, if promptly UE has uplink business data to need to send, then send this uplink business data, if there is not uplink business data to need to send, then, then can send some specific informations in order to keep synchronously.
The process of the non-scheduled transmission maintenance of employing uplink synchronous can be as shown in Figure 4 in this step, and UE sends upstream data to NodeB on non-scheduling resource E-PUCH; NodeB carries out generating the SS order with step calibration to this UE according to the upstream data that receives on E-PUCH, and is carrying this SS order of transmission on the non-scheduling resource E-HICH of ACK or NACK; When UE receives this SS order on E-HICH, according to the SS order, adjust the launch time of self, thereby keep uplink synchronous according to synchronous adjustment step-length.Because adopting the mode of non-scheduled transmission to keep uplink synchronous is prior art, does not repeat them here.
In above-mentioned flow process, if NodeB receives the dispatch request that UE sends in default time threshold, this dispatch request indication UE has uplink business data to need to send, then in order to guarantee to be as early as possible this UE allocation schedule resource, reduce the number of times of calibration timer expiry, NodeB can start the scheduling timer and carry out timing when receiving the dispatch request of UE transmission, and according to the timing duration t that dispatches timer
