The method and apparatus of control channel resource mapping
Technical field
The present invention relates to the communications field, in particular to a kind of method and apparatus of control channel resource mapping.
Background technology
LTE (Long-Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution)/LTE-Advanced system and IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications, international mobile communication) system all is with OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency DivisionMultiplexing, OFDM) technology is the basis, in ofdm system, it is the data mode of time-frequency bidimensional, for UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) end power saving, control channel adopts TDM (Time Division Multiplex usually, time division multiplexing) mode, that is, control channel and Traffic Channel are separated in time, for example, 14 OFDM symbols are arranged in a subframe, and front 3 OFDM symbols are as control channel, and rear 11 OFDM symbols are as Traffic Channel.
In existing system, often allow the user of access more, at first describe as an example of the control channel of present LTE system example.In the LTE system, descending control signaling mainly comprises following content:
1) CCFI (Control Channel Format Indicator, the indication of control channel form);
2) DL Grant (Down Link Grant, descending scheduling mandate);
3) UL Grant (Up Link Grant, uplink scheduling authorization);
4) HI:HARQ indication (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request Indication, mixed automatic retransfer request indication);
Can find out that the design of control channel is to be made of different parts, each part has its specific function.For convenience of description, the below's several terms of definition and agreement:
1) CCFI namely indicates several OFDM symbols to be used for control channel, and is independent with CCE (ControlChannels Elements, control channel unit); HI is also independent with CCE;
2) be called CCE at the continuous L of a frequency domain subcarrier, CCE can comprise DL Grant and UL Grant;
3) all CCE are the QPSK modulation;
4) each control channel is by a CCE or CCE constitutes;
5) each UE can monitor a series of candidate control channels;
6) number of candidate control channel is the maximum times of blind Detecting;
7) number of candidate control channel is greater than the number of CCE;
8) transmitting-receiving two-end has been stipulated several combinations, for example only has 1,2,4,8 CCE to combine as the candidate control channel;
9) the corresponding different coding speed of 1,2,4,8 combination difference;
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram according to the transmitter architecture of correlation technique, as shown in Figure 1, hold at Node-B (enode), each UE (UE1 to UEn) control signal is carried out respectively chnnel coding, then carry out the QPSK modulation, carry out CCE to RE (ResourseElement, subcarrier) forms E-CCFI, then carry out the subcarrier mapping, space diversity, carry out IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform, inverse-Fourier transform) adds CP, parallel/serial DAC, and launch, suppose that this moment, control channel was made of 16 CCE, receiving terminal carries out FFT (Fast Fourier Transform, Fourier transform) after, UE begins to carry out blind Detecting (namely respectively to CCE1 from being combined as 1 CCE, CCE2, ..., CCE16 carries out blind Detecting), if UE_ID does not monitor successfully, then carry out blind Detecting (namely respectively to [CCE1CCE2] from being combined as 2 CCE, [CCE3CCE4], ..., [CCE15CCE16]), the like.If all do not listen to the UE_ID that is complementary with oneself in whole blind detection process, illustrating does not have one's own control signal to assign this moment, and then UE switches to sleep pattern; If listen to the UE_ID that is complementary with oneself, afterwards according to the corresponding business information of control signal demodulation.Because travel through all CCE combined situation, can find out for the blind Detecting number of times of some UE too much.
In LTE/LTE-Advanced and IMT-Advanced system, support QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM modulation system, and much all be identical in the modulation system of a plurality of UE of synchronization, if launch this information in the control signal of each UE, so just increased the expense of control signal.But can be placed on E-CCFI (Enhanced-Control Channel Format Indicator to what have an identical modulation system, strengthen the indication of control channel form) inner, content in the E-CCFI comprises the maximum sequence number of the CCE of professional modulation system and correspondence, transmitting terminal only is mapped in the UE that each has the identical services modulation system in the corresponding CCE serial number range deserved CCE, can reduce the blind Detecting time like this; And the CCE of the identical more UE of modulation system this moment is placed on front or centre or back, can further reduces so the blind Detecting time of most of UE.E-CCFI namely reduces the control signal expense, and can reduce to a certain extent number of times, reduction UE end handling process and the power loss of UE end blind Detecting.
Fig. 2 is that as shown in Figure 2, the control information form of expanding among the E-CCFI is made of two parts according to the schematic diagram of the E-CCFI composition of correlation technique, the professional maximum sequence number of CCE and the indication of professional modulation system of adopting respectively different modulation systems, wherein,
CCFI: the number that is used to indicate the shared OFDM symbol of control channel;
N1: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the lower/upper row M1 modulation system;
M1: lower/upper enforcement is with the modulation system of the highest Traffic Channel of frequency;
N2: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the lower/upper row M2 modulation system;
M2: lower/upper enforcement is with the modulation system of time high Traffic Channel of frequency;
N3: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the 3rd kind of modulation system of lower/upper row;
N4: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the up/down row m1 modulation system;
M1: up/down is exercised the modulation system with the highest Traffic Channel of frequency;
N5: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the up/down row m2 modulation system;
M2: up/down is exercised the modulation system with time high Traffic Channel of frequency;
N6: the maximum sequence number of CCE under the 3rd kind of modulation system of up/down row.
In realizing process of the present invention, the inventor finds that there are the following problems at least in the prior art: at present, content for control signal, the method of salary distribution, the research that reduces the control signal expense is a focus, but, do not consider effective control channel resource mapping, prior art has its limitation, for example, CCFI is used to indicate several OFDM symbols (<=3 OFDM symbols) and is used for control information, so the resource mapping for CCFI can be placed in the 1st the OFDM symbol, resource mapping can't obtain to reach the frequency diversity of optimum, and, do not carry out discussing and research for the control information resource mapping of expanding among the E-CCFI.
