Embodiment
Using the term description preferred embodiment that 3GPP adopted will be easily, yet the present invention should not be regarded as being limited to according to the application in the network of 3GPP standard operation.
To the preferred embodiments of the present invention be described having to receive in the context of ofdma communication network of UE that bandwidth is 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz now.Suppose that the maximum reception bandwidth that lowest capability UE supports in the network is 5MHz.This is rational hypothesis, because current WCDMA UE has the reception bandwidth of 5MHz, and is desirably in following UE and will supports this standard at least.Given should hypothesis, be to be further appreciated that it is 10MHz or above situation that the argumentation here is limited to bandwidth of cell, because for the lower bandwidth of cell of for example 5MHz (or following), all UE will be seen as the receiving ability with the cell transmission bandwidth of equaling by network.In a preferred embodiment, be used for down link and send the parameter of processing as shown in form 1.
Figure A200780002466D00101
The parameter that is used for the down link delivery plan in the form 1-preferred embodiment
Yet should be appreciated that to the invention is not restricted to above-mentioned specific example bandwidth and UE ability, but can be generally applicable to have the network of scalable transmission bandwidth and the network of the UE of different reception bandwidth.
Fig. 1 has described the diagram according to the base station transmitter 100 of embodiment of the invention operation.In the present embodiment, base station 100 sends to two UE 102 and 104.UE 102 has the reception bandwidth of 5MHz, and UE 104 has the reception bandwidth of 20MHz.
In order to send to two UE so that identical transmission time interval (TTI) is next, base station 100 needs the multiplexed signal that will send.In a preferred embodiment, before being converted to time-domain signal, whole frequency multiplexed signal use single IFFT piece 110 in frequency domain, to realize multiplexed.
The multiplexing scheme that uses among this embodiment is simple relatively, send bandwidth and be divided into two subcarriers 106 and 108, the data that wherein are used for UE1 102 on the piece of 301 continuous subcarriers that with DC1 is the center by multiplexed, and the data that are used for UE2 104 on the piece of remaining 900 subcarriers by multiplexed.Should be noted that wide 1201 subcarriers of the signal that is used for UE2 and be the center with DC2.
Shall also be noted that and to use different multiplexing schemes that for example allocation of subcarriers makes their by the scheme of staggered (as long as carry the subcarrier of the data that are used for particular UE be comprised in the maximum that is less than or equal to UE receive in the passband of bandwidth) between UE.
Under the situation that other UE sends, available transmission bandwidth can further be cut apart between UE in base station 100, is comprised in the maximum that is not more than UE and receives in the passband of bandwidth as long as distribute to the subcarrier of particular UE.
In case it is multiplexed to have carried out the frequency domain of UE data, contrary fast fourier transform (IFFT) 110 just is applied to the whole frequency band of transmitter to generate time-domain signal.In the illustrated embodiment, applied IFFT is 2048 IFFT, yet the available bandwidth that depends on transmitter can use other IFFT size (referring to top form 1).As mentioned above, cross over the whole set of subcarrier and only carry out an IFFT, rather than on each camp band, carry out independent IFFT.Owing to only need its size only to depend on the IFFT piece of transmitter bandwidth for each transmitter antenna, so this has simplified the design of base station transceiver.
As typical for the OFDMA system, next add Cyclic Prefix to time-domain signal 112 in the manner known to persons skilled in the art.Then, before being sent by antenna for base station 116, this signal stands further processing 114.Signal transmitted is received by one of UE 102 and 104 then.
Before the processing of discussing by UE 102 and 104 received signals, discuss the operation of UE tout court, and especially they can how to change between idle condition and active state be useful.
As is known to persons skilled in the art, UE will be in idle condition in most of times, and wherein its is carried out considerably less or do not carry out and sends and/or receive.In this state, UE keeps being tuned as special frequency band usually, and it is called camp band here.Idle state representation is a state 200 among Fig. 2.Sometimes UE moves to active state 206 with needs, for example to call out or to send or to receive other data.Active state is divided into MAC dormancy (MAC-Dormant) or MAC activity (MAC-Active) state, and is illustrated on Fig. 2 by the reference numerals states among Fig. 2 202 and 204.Use MAC active state 204 when quite enlivening when data send and/or receive, and send and/or reception activity use MAC resting state 202 when temporarily stopping when data.
When UE was in idle condition, it was necessary reading the broadcast channel (BCH) and the paging channel (PCH) that are used for band of position renewal and out of Memory for it termly.In addition, when UE was connected to network first, necessary for UE was to receive synchronizing channel and broadcast channel to obtain initial time and Frequency Synchronization and information of searching sector from network.In order to promote these processes, in single frequency band (being called " common band " here), provide in these channels each according to embodiment of the invention network operating.In a preferred embodiment, the centrally aligned of the transmission frequency band of common band and transmitter.
In order to allow each UE that is connected to network can receive all signals that send on the common band, common band has the bandwidth that the maximum that is less than or equal to the minimum ability UE that operates in the network receives bandwidth.State in the use among the embodiment of hypothesis, this means that synchronizing channel, BCH, PCH and SCH are restricted to the frequency band of single 5MHz.
The receiver that must unnecessarily change reception (or being stationed) frequency band and ought retune them in case of necessity for fear of UE is to receive synchronizing channel, BCH, PCH and SCH, and the preferred embodiments of the present invention require all UE in the idle condition to quarter on the frequency band that comprises common band.For do not allow too many UE in common band, operate (except consume seldom or not the UE in the idle condition of consume system resources), when requiring UE or UE request to move to active state, network can require UE to move to different frequency bands, turns back to idle condition up to it.
For the distribution of camp band in the network with scalable transmitter and receiver bandwidth is described better, Fig. 3,4 and 5 show respectively 20MHz bandwidth cell, 15MHz bandwidth cell and 10MHz bandwidth cell be used to have 5MHz, exemplary band allocation that 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz receive the UE of bandwidth ability may.
Fig. 3 illustrate the 20MHz bandwidth cell be used to have 5MHz, exemplary band allocation scheme that 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz receive the UE of bandwidth.Bandwidth of cell is by frequency axis 300 expressions, and it is by illustrating frequency range from f -600To f + 600The subcarrier (rather than passing through Hz) of 1201 subcarriers arrange in turn.Use the system parameters of showing in the form 1, this can find out that being equal to 20MHz sends bandwidth.With f 0It for the piece 302 at center the common band of the synchronizing channel (SYNCH), BCH, PCH and the SCH that wherein send the sub-district.
Frequency band 304 to 330 expression is used for the example collection of the allocated bandwidth of the UE that operates in this 20MHz sub-district.Because current area has the transmission bandwidth of 20MHz, so only there is a kind of possibility frequency acceptance band of 20MHz, promptly frequency band 304.Because the bandwidth match of sub-district and frequency band 304, so it is with f 0Be the center.
In this embodiment, defined three possible 15MHz frequency acceptance bands, promptly frequency band 306,308 and 310, and they are respectively with frequency f 0, f -150And f 150Be the center.Because all these frequency bands 306,308 and 310 comprise common band 302, one of can quarter in these frequency bands so be in the 15MHz UE of idle condition or active state.
Also there is the 10MHz frequency band of three definition, is respectively with frequency f 0, f -300And f 300Frequency band 312,314 and 316 for the center.Therefore frequency band 312 is unique 10MHz frequency bands that comprise common band 302, and is that unique 10MHz UE of being in idle condition or active state of allowing is stationed thereon 10MHz frequency band.The 10MHz UE that only is in the active state can quarter on one of non-central 10MHz frequency band 314 or 316.
There is the 5MHz frequency band of seven definition, is respectively with frequency f 0, f -300, f + 300, f -450, f - 150, f + 150And f + 450Frequency band 318,320,322,324,326,328 and 330 for the center.With frequency f 0For the frequency band 318 at center is unique 5MHz frequency band that comprises common band 302, and therefore be that unique 5MHz UE of being in idle condition or active state of allowing is stationed thereon 5MHz frequency band.The 5MHz UE that only is in the active state can quarter on one of non-central 5MHz frequency band 320 to 330.If any one in the non-central 5MHz frequency band 320 to 330 will be used as the camp band that is in the UE in the idle condition, then UE will need to retune its receiver sometimes and be used for reception to common band that the band of position is upgraded and the broadcast channel (BCH) of out of Memory, and this does not expect.Also must reconfigure network to carry out paging (sending with other signal) in the common band outside, this does not expect yet.
Fig. 4 illustrate the 15MHz bandwidth cell be used to have 5MHz, exemplary band allocation scheme that 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz receive the UE of bandwidth.Bandwidth of cell is by frequency axis 400 expressions, and it is by illustrating frequency range from f -450To f + 450The subcarrier (rather than passing through Hz) of 901 subcarriers arrange in turn.Use the system parameters of showing in the form 1, this can find out that being equal to 15MHz sends bandwidth.With the same among Fig. 3, with f 0It for the piece 302 at center the common band of the synchronizing channel, BCH, PCH and the SCH that wherein send the sub-district.
Frequency band 402 to 416 expression is used for the example collection of the allocated bandwidth of the UE that operates in this 15MHz sub-district.Because current area has the transmission bandwidth of 15MHz, receive the frequency acceptance band that the UE of bandwidth has the whole transmission bandwidth of coverage cell so have two kinds of 20MHz and 15MHz, and by with f 0Frequency band 402 and 402 expressions for the center.
Have the 10MHz frequency acceptance band of three definition, promptly frequency band 406,408 and 410, and they are respectively with frequency f 0, f -150And f 150Be the center.Because all these frequency bands 406,408 and 410 comprise common band 302, the 10MHz UE that is in idle condition or the active state can quarter on one of these frequency bands.
Also there is the 5MHz frequency band of three definition, is respectively with frequency f 0, f -300And f 300Frequency band 412,414 and 416 for the center.Therefore frequency band 412 is unique 5MHz frequency bands that comprise common band 302, and is that unique 5MHz UE of being in idle condition or active state of allowing is stationed thereon 5MHz frequency band.The 5MHz UE that only is in the active state can quarter on one of non-central 5MHz frequency band 414 or 416.
Fig. 5 illustrate the 10MHz bandwidth cell be used to have 5MHz, exemplary band allocation scheme that 10MHz, 15MHz and 20MHz receive the UE of bandwidth.Bandwidth of cell is by frequency axis 500 expressions, and it is by illustrating frequency range from f -300To f + 300The subcarrier (rather than passing through Hz) of 601 subcarriers arrange in turn.Use the system parameters of showing in the form 1, this can find out that being equal to 10MHz sends bandwidth.With the same in Fig. 3 and 4, with f 0It for the piece 302 at center the common band of the synchronizing channel, BCH, PCH and the SCH that wherein send the sub-district.
Frequency band 502 to 512 expression is used for the example collection of the allocated bandwidth of the UE that operates in this sub-district.Because current area has the transmission bandwidth of 10MHz, receive the frequency acceptance band that the UE of bandwidth has the whole transmission bandwidth of coverage cell so have 20MHz, 15MHz and 10MHz, and by with f 0Frequency band 502 to 506 expressions for the center.
Have the 5MHz frequency acceptance band of three definition, promptly frequency band 508,510 and 512, and they are respectively with frequency f 0, f -150And f 150Be the center.Therefore frequency band 508 is unique 5MHz frequency bands that comprise common band 302, and is that unique 5MHz UE of being in idle condition or active state of allowing is stationed thereon 5MHz frequency band.The 5MHz UE that only is in the active state can quarter on one of non-central 5MHz frequency band 510 or 512.
Use Fig. 3 as example, when the UE initiation will move to the request of active state (for example: upgrade its position, make a call or paging is responded), it uses the RACH (RACH) in the up link, and will receive response by the shared channel in down link (SCH) in common band.Need change to from the free time under the situation of active state at UE, system will instruct UE be tuned to non-central frequency band, if for example UE be 5MHz UE be tuned to frequency band 320,322,324,326,328 or 330, if perhaps UE have that 10MHz receives bandwidth be tuned to frequency band 314 or 316.This is in order to reduce the load on the common band 302.Under this state, UE will monitor shared control channel (SCCH) to receive shared data channel (SDCH) in this non-central frequency band.In a preferred embodiment, when not having connectedness, UE will move (maybe should move) the not busy state that makes the return trip empty, and wherein they will quarter on the center frequency-band that comprises common band.
Return Fig. 1 now, will describe the process that two UE 102 and 104 receive the signal of BTS 100 transmissions.In order to receive signal transmitted, UE 102 and 104 each its carrier frequency is tuned as suitable centre frequency, promptly be used for UE 1102 DC 1And be used for UE 2104 DC 2Because UE 1102 reception bandwidth constraints is only by UE 1102 use RF piece 118.1 to receive the 5MHz part that whole 20MHz sends bandwidth.On the contrary, because UE 2104 have 20MHz receives bandwidth, so (using RF piece 118.2) receives all transmission bandwidth, comprises the part that is intended to only send to UE1 in the signal transmitted (promptly on block of sub-carriers 106 multiplexed signal).
Next, received signal in UE 102 and 104, stands further RF and handles and analog-to-digital conversion respectively in piece 120.1 and 120.2.As appreciable, in a preferred embodiment, be 7.68MHz and 30.72MHz in the sample frequency of the digital sample of output place of piece 120.1 and 120.2 from form 1.In UE 102 and 104, in piece 122.1 and 122.2, remove Cyclic Prefix then.
Two UE carry out FFT (respectively in UE 102 and 104 124.1 and 124.2) then so that time-domain signal is converted to frequency-region signal.Because the initial radio tuning step of carrying out, thus by the reception bandwidth of UE, rather than send the position of expectation subcarrier in the frequency band by the sub-district, stipulate the size of performed FFT.As appreciable from form 1, UE 1With the FFT that always is to use at 512, because it has the reception bandwidth of 5MHz and attempts to extract the subcarrier of 301 expectations.In order to simplify UE, the size of performed FFT does not rely on other UE and whether has data multiplexed on the RF signal.Therefore, UE 2To always use 2048 FFT, receive bandwidth because it has 20MHz.Can use signaling data or other method to tell UE then 2Abandon the data on the subcarrier that sends in (or not decoding) frequency chunks 106.
The present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to reception described herein, public and camp band, because being defined in of these above-mentioned frequency bands is arbitrarily in a way.More () the frequency bands or still less of definable.For example in the 20MHz bandwidth cell, definable has f -150And f + 150Between the 15MHz frequency band of any centre frequency, similarly, definable has f -300And f + 300Between Anywhere the 10MHz frequency band of centre frequency.And, can be in any some place definition common band along the bandwidth of sub-district.Though think that this diagram frequency band described herein has minimized band overlapping and thereby minimized signaling and there is advantage in design complexity with regard to them.They also provide enough flexibilities, make system manage resource allocation to the UE of a large amount of different abilities of using same cell transmission bandwidth simultaneously effectively.And, send and the definition of frequency acceptance band, and the advantage of the mapping of physical channel (for example SCCH, SDCH and pilot channel) is that any UE will only see a kind of mapping quarter on which frequency band regardless of it.This expects, because this will reduce the complexity of UE implementation significantly.
Will be understood that the present invention open and definition should expand to according to text or accompanying drawing is mentioned or significantly all of two or more independent features are replaced combination in this specification.All these various combinations constitute each replacement aspect of the present invention.
