Embodiment
The LTE system determines to support following two class frame structures:
First kind frame structure is applicable to FDD and TDD system, and its structure as shown in Figure 1.
The frame length 10ms of described first kind frame is made up of 20 time slots, and each slot length is 0.5ms, and from 0 to 19, two continuous time slot of mark is defined as a subframe, and subframe i is made up of time slot 2i and time slot 2i+1, wherein, i=0,1 ..., 9.
Concerning the FDD system, every 10ms is in the time, because up-downgoing separates on frequency domain, the provisional capital has 10 subframes to use up and down.
And for the TDD system, every 10ms is in the time, and up-downgoing also all has 10 subframes to use, and wherein subframe 0 and subframe 5 always are assigned as downlink transfer.
Fig. 2 shows the schematic diagram of the second class frame structure.
The frame length of the second class frame also is 10ms, and every frame at first is split into the field of 2 5ms, and each field is made up of 7 business time-slots (being labeled as 0~6) and 3 special time slots (descending pilot frequency time slot, protection interval and uplink pilot time slot).Every subframe definition is a business time-slot, and wherein subframe 0 and descending pilot frequency time slot always are used for downlink transfer, and uplink pilot time slot and subframe 1 always are used for uplink.
For the data block to error of transmission is fed back re-transmission fast, and by the data block merging, make full use of the information that misdata is carried, the LTE system has adopted HARQ (Hybrid AutomaticRepeat Request mixes automatic repeat requests) technology.
Accurately and efficiently feed back designation data piece how in time, whether wrong information (being ACK or NACK signal) is the important step of setting up the HARQ process.
Uplink ACK/NACK signaling is as a uplink control signaling part, and transmission means has two kinds, a kind ofly be, when UE (User Equipment, subscriber equipment) has the uplink business data transmission, ACK/NACK signaling and business datum multiplexing transmission; Another kind is that when UE did not have uplink business data, the ACK/NACK signaling was transmitted in the frequency band that the frequency band both sides of bandwidth of operation are reserved, and adopted the frequency hopping mode to improve transmission performance.
This paper discusses at second kind of situation.
For second kind of ACK/NACK transmission means, the scheme that the LTE system determines is: the ACK/NACK of 1 bit (corresponding to the single codeword feelings) is mapped as BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying, biphase phase shift keying) symbol, the ACK/NACK of 2 bits (corresponding 2 code words) is mapped as QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, quarternary phase-shift keying (QPSK)) symbol, each modulation symbol spreads to CAZAC (permanent envelope zero autocorrelation sequence), adopts the method transmission of relevant modulation.
For first kind frame structure shown in Figure 1, each PRB (Physical Resources Blocks, Physical Resource Block) can support that at most 18UE is multiplexing; For the second class frame structure shown in Figure 2, also adopt the every PRB of hopping structure to support that at most 12UE is multiplexing.
Because the ACK/NACK signaling generally only is 1 bit or 2 bits, can increase information redundance greatly if additionally increase the UE identifying information, reduce efficiency of transmission, therefore, in the LTE-FDD system, determine to adopt the mode of implicit indication, set up the mapping relations of the control channel sequence number that ACK/NACK signaling and corresponding scheduling control signaling of downlink take, made eNB (evolved base station) can judge the UE and the data block of ACK correspondence.Referring to Fig. 3, indicate the method schematic diagram of ack channel based on implicit mode for existing LTE-FDD system, wherein, by setting up the mapping relations of ACK/NACK signaling channel and corresponding scheduling control signaling of downlink channel in advance, make eNB can judge the UE and the data block of ACK signaling correspondence.
In the FDD system, because the up-downgoing of FDD system is symmetrical, so ascending-descending subframes can be set up relation one to one at an easy rate.But for the TDD system, because the unsymmetric structure of its up-downgoing can't be set up the one-to-one relationship of up-downgoing as the FDD system.Referring to Fig. 4, when descending sub frame is less than or equal sub-frame of uplink, can determine transferring ACK/NACK and service subframe mapping relations by stipulated form.Referring to Fig. 5, when descending subframe is less than sub-frame of uplink, mean that an ascending time slot need send the ack/nack signal of a plurality of descending time slot data blocks.For example, the up-downgoing ratio of first kind frame structure is that 1/9, the second class frame structure up-downgoing ratio is 1/6, and then each sub-frame of uplink need transmit the ack/nack signal of 9 or 6 descending sub frame data block correspondences.And, for a subscriber equipment, once transmit 9 or 6 ack/nack signals at most possibly, in order to ensure the single-carrier property of uplink, a plurality of ACK/NACK signalings must be unified to arrange.
Prior art does not provide concrete technical scheme at the ack/nack signal transmission that how to meet single-carrier property in this case.
In fact, those skilled in the art may expect adopting following scheme to solve: set a plurality of ACK/NACK zone in the UL subframe, the corresponding descending sub frame in each zone, adopt the method for FDD system then, still, owing to must carry out resource distribution according to maximum UE quantity, resource occupation is many like this, and the situation that a plurality of UE send ACK/NACK simultaneously in the practical application seldom, therefore, causes the very big wasting of resources.In addition, when a UE when a plurality of descending sub frames all have transmission of data blocks, a plurality of ACK/NACK are mapped to a plurality of zones, can destroy up single-carrier property.
In order to solve the problem that prior art exists, the invention provides a kind of improved technical scheme, its basic thought is: network side judges whether certain subscriber equipment downlink service data in default associated period is repeatedly dispatched, if, when described default associated period finishes, be identified for the physical resource of loading ACK/NACK, and send indication information, indication subscriber equipment feeding back ACK/NACK on described physical resource.Guaranteed single-carrier property.
At first can set up under the different time-gap ratio situation, determine the corresponding relation of uplink ACK/NACK subframe and downlink business subframe, suppose that it is 3ms that subscriber equipment is handled the time of delay of a data block, ignores signal transmission delay.
The mapping relations of the second class frame structure such as table 1 and shown in Figure 6.

Wherein "
*" N-1 field in the presentation graphs 6, "
*" N-2 field in the presentation graphs 6, "-" represents that this subframe is a descending sub frame, " O " represents that this subframe does not have corresponding UL (up) ACK.
For the UL ACK/NACK that only shines upon a DL (Downlink, down link) time slot (being called single ACK/NACK situation), obviously can directly adopt the method for LTE FDD, set up corresponding relation with the control channel sequence number.When sub-frame of uplink during less than descending sub frame, can only arrange a sub-frame of uplink need transmit a plurality of ACK signalings, for the up-downgoing ratio is three kinds of situations of 3: 4/, 2: 5 and 1: 6, a certain sub-frame of uplink need send the ACK/NACK signaling of 2,4,6 descending time slot data block correspondences, and these three kinds of situations are referred to as " many ACK/NACK situation ".
Under many ACK situation, for the bonding carrier characteristics, if a subscriber equipment has a plurality of ACK or NACK to send, must unified mapping.And if employing is as the method for the implicit mapping of FDD system employing, in order to guarantee to tackle various situations, requirement eNB can discern the ACK/NACK of different user devices, need be used to send the channel resource of ACK/NACK to each user equipment allocation independently, fully.For example, many ACK situation for LTE-TDD (FS2), the quantity of supposing the maximum support of descending sub frame descending scheduling subscriber equipment is M, the channel resource that then needs to reserve is respectively 2M, 4M and 6M, if and take not according to maximum resource and to arrange channel, because each subscriber equipment is not also known the situation of other subscriber equipmenies, so may produce conflict between the different subscriber equipmenies.And in practical communication, can not all be scheduled by all subscriber equipmenies at each descending time slot, if arrange channel so take according to maximum resource, the utilance that then means channel is extremely low, especially for mini system bandwidth (for example 1.25MHz or 2.5MHz) or in the quantity of current scheduling user equipment seldom the time, the wasting of resources is very serious.
So for many ACK/NACK situation, the present invention adopts the method indication subscriber equipment of direct indication to carry out the ACK/NACK transmission, avoids the appearance of above-mentioned situation.For example, in the DL of eNB dispatch, increase the channel that specific bit is indicated its ACK feedback.In order to make those skilled in the art better understand technical solution of the present invention, be described in detail below in conjunction with drawings and Examples.

Below by a concrete example the technical program is further detailed:
Please refer to Fig. 8, with the uplink and downlink timeslot ratio of the second class frame be 1: 6 be example, the uplink ACK/NACK that is labeled as down2 descending time slot correspondence among the figure sends at the ascending time slot that is being labeled as up2, all the other are similar.Suppose that network side judges certain subscriber equipment and in an associated period (be made as down2 form 6 descending time slots) 3 scheduling are arranged, respectively constantly, dispatch, 3 ACK indication informations are arranged respectively for then corresponding these three times at t1, t2 and t3.Wherein, ACK indication information 1 comprises the ACK/NACK channel Mapping of this time slot packet (being made as packet 1) to be arranged, network side is after carrying out the scheduling second time to this subscriber equipment, utilize ACK indication information 2 to upgrade described ACK indication information 1, described ACK indication information comprises the packet (being made as packet 2) of this time slot simultaneously and the ACK/NACK channel Mapping of packet 1 correspondence is arranged; Same, network side is after dispatching for the third time this subscriber equipment, utilize ACK indication information 3 to upgrade ACK indication information 2, described ACK indication information 3 comprises the ACK/NACK channel Mapping of packet (being made as packet 3), packet 1 and packet 2 correspondences of this time slot to be arranged.
When described associated period finished, network side sent to subscriber equipment with described ACK indication information 3, and subscriber equipment receives behind this ACK indication information 3 can be according to specified ACK/NACK channel feedback ACK/NACK wherein.
As can be seen, the embodiment of the invention can guarantee up single-carrier property according to the unified ack channel of arranging of the scheduling situation of the subscriber equipment in the associated period.
Need to prove that the mode that network side sends the ACK indication information can be: in the DL dispatch, increase the channel that specific bit is indicated its ACK feedback.In addition, also can send by the mode of BCH broadcasting.
Fig. 9 shows the flow chart of determining the target physical resource among the step S104 of the foregoing description.
Network side can be in advance carry out different resource groupings according to the number of loading ACK signal, and corresponding certain subscriber equipment of each group resource for example for the second class frame, can be set at 6 ack signals of a resource bearing or still less.If a certain subscriber equipment need feed back a plurality of ACK simultaneously, for the bonding carrier characteristics, all ack signals of this subscriber equipment need utilize a physical resource to send.
This flow process specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step S201: the ack channel number of determining needs according to the number of times of dispatching user facility.
Step S202: the ack channel resource group of determining this user's correspondence according to user device parameters.
Described user device parameters comprises and is used to indicate this subscriber equipment to belong to the information of which ack channel resource group.Ack channel resource group is called for short the ACK group.
Step S203: judge in this ACK group whether have enough idle channels, if enter step S204; Otherwise, enter step S205.
Step S204: be this user equipment allocation ack channel, finish.
Step S205: search for other ACK groups, judge whether to exist enough idle channels, if enter step S206; Otherwise, enter step 207.
Step S206: the ack channel resource that channel allocation ack channel resource, and release for this reason originally took, finish.
Step S207: definite no ack channel can be used, and this packet is not scheduled, and finishes.
Network side is according to the updating network parameters as a result of above-mentioned flow process, and sends corresponding information to scheduler, and described network parameter comprises all user device parameters.Scheduler is attached to ACK on the DL dispatch and sends to subscriber equipment.
