Embodiment
For making purpose of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearer, below with reference to the accompanying drawing embodiment that develops simultaneously, the present invention is described in more detail.
This tdd systems of the present invention improves the method and the device of descending pilot frequency (DwPTS) time interval resource utilance, for improving the frequency resource utilance of DwPTS, the information that elder generation's setting need send in DwPTS time slot idle frequency band, re-use DwPTS time slot idle frequency band and send the information of described setting to user terminal, user terminal receives the information of described setting at DwPTS time slot idle frequency band.
Wherein, the information that setting need send in DwPTS time slot idle frequency band, two kinds of implementations are arranged: a kind of is to configure the information that need send in base station and user terminal in the descending pilot frequency time slot idle frequency band in advance, in this case, before using DwPTS time slot idle frequency band to send the information of setting, just do not needed informing user terminal.Another kind is the information that need be sent in the descending pilot frequency time slot idle frequency band well by base station sets earlier; Be sent in the descending pilot frequency time slot idle frequency band to user terminal by the base station again and send notification of information; At last, user terminal is informed in transmission information in the descending pilot frequency time slot idle frequency band according to notice.
The present invention has expanded the purposes of DwPTS, can send any information of setting at the idle frequency band of DwPTS time slot, below lift three kinds of practical applications earlier embodiment the method for raising DwPTS time interval resource utilance is elaborated.
First preferred embodiment
In the present embodiment, setting need send adjacent sub-district mixed carrier broadcasting/packet service (MBMS) indication information in DwPTS time slot idle frequency band.Referring to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the method first preferred embodiment process chart of DwPTS time interval resource utilance of the present invention, and this flow process may further comprise the steps:
Step 401, when the DwPTS bandwidth had residue, the idle frequency band that evolution base station (eNB) is set in the DwPTS time slot sent neighbor cell MBMS indication information.
In this neighbor cell MBMS indication information, comprise not only whether adjacent sub-district exists the MBMS business, and exist at neighbor cell under the situation of MBMS business, also comprise the purposes information of each subframe of adjacent sub-district.These information support the eNB of MBMS business can directly obtain by prior art when operation.
In the concrete neighbor cell MBMS indication information, can comprise the information of a plurality of sub-districts, as 2 or 3, if demanding words, and the DwPTS remaining bandwidth is enough, can comprise more sub-district structure of time slot.A kind of broadcast message structure can for: sub-district ID number: the sub-district structure of time slot
For example, if its ID of neighbor cell is 1111, its structure of time slot utilizes bit information to indicate, and is 0000011, i.e. subframe 6 and subframe 7 MBMS transmission business.So, eNB adds the MBMS indication information structure of this sub-district and is in DwPTS: 11110000011.
Equally, if there are a plurality of cell informations, all use identical structure to indicate and get final product.
Step 402, eNB has added the MBMS indication information by implicit or broadcast mode informing user terminal (UE) in DwPTS.
For eNB, can be undertaken by multiple modes such as implicit notice and broadcasting for information among the DwPTS.
If adopt implicit mode to notify, promptly all preserved setting in advance when having the idle frequency band resource among the DwPTS, with regard to the MBMS transmission indication information at eNB and UE.System bandwidth UE can obtain in broadcast channel, and be used to carry out the bandwidth fixed of primary synchronization channel (P-SCH) among the DwPTS, so as long as when system bandwidth during greater than the bandwidth of synchronizing channel, just can imply indication and give UE, transmitted neighbor cell subframe purposes information among the DwPTS this moment, and UE just can receive accordingly to it.
If adopt the broadcast mode notice, in broadcast channel, broadcast exactly, notice UE: current eNB has transmitted neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information in DwPTS.
Step 403, UE knows that according to notice eNB has transmitted neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information in DwPTS.
If adopt implicit mode to indicate, when UE can be known system bandwidth in broadcast channel, know that promptly the DwPTS time slot has remaining bandwidth, know that then eNB has transmitted neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information in DwPTS.
If adopt the broadcast mode notice, then UE receives broadcast channel, knows that therefrom eNB has transmitted neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information in DwPTS.
Step 404 when UE need measure neighbor cell, receives and detects DwPTS residue frequency band, obtains neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information.
In this step, not only can obtain adjacent sub-district and whether have the MBMS business, and exist in adjacent sub-district under the situation of MBMS business, can also obtain each subframe purposes information of adjacent sub-district.
Because the neighbor cell subframe whether information of MBMS transmission business belongs to the control signaling information, need very high demodulation correctness, that is to say that this information does not allow to make mistakes.Therefore, its code rate can be very low, and modulation system can adopt binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation.So,, can adopt the modulation system and the code rate of system default for the neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information that transmits among the DwPTS.Present a lot of control signalings also are to have adopted the mode of this system configured in advance.
Certainly, this code rate and modulation system also still can change, but this just can only be notified to UE by broadcast channel broadcasts.
So if implicit notice, the indication information of DwPTS adopts get over the modulation system and the code rate of agreement earlier, UE has transmitted neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information in determining DwPTS, just can directly detect; If by broadcast announcement, the indication information of DwPTS can adopt the modulation system and the code rate of prior agreement, also can be by its concrete modulation system and code rate of notice UE in the broadcast channel.
Step 405 when UE measures neighbor cell, according to the purposes information of each subframe of adjacent sub-district in the described indication information, is measured neighbor cell.
In switching, the congested control procedure of load, all need neighbor cell is measured.UE carries out the various measurements of neighbor cell after the purposes that has obtained each subframe of neighbor cell, just can use all frequency pilot signs in all subframes of neighbor cell.
This is that UE need use the frequency pilot sign in the corresponding subframe to measure according to the concrete purposes of known subframe owing in each subframe, all comprised a frequency pilot sign that is used to measure.That is to say if UE does not know the concrete purposes of neighbor cell subframe, just can not measure with the frequency pilot sign in this subframe.Because, this moment, UE was known the concrete purposes of each subframe in the neighbor cell, so can select the pilot tone in the subframe of each purposes correspondence to carry out the various measurements of neighbor cell, obtain neighbor cell measurements accurately and timely, for processes such as sub-district switching provide foundation accurately.
If UE does not obtain neighbor cell mixed carrier MBMS indication information from DwPTS residue frequency band, then UE can according to the neighbor cell subframe purposes indication of broadcasting in the broadcast message, measure according to prior art.This moment, the indication information of the neighbor cell that UE can obtain had two kinds, a kind of be neighbor cell with each subframe of this sub-district whether aspect the MBMS transmission purposes identical, under same case, UE has also just known the purposes of each subframe of neighbor cell, therefore also can utilize whole frequency pilot signs of whole subframes of neighbor cell to measure; Another kind of information is, there is not the MBMS business in neighbor cell, and at this moment, the purposes of each subframe of UE neighbor cell is fixed, and therefore also can use whole frequency pilot signs of neighbor cell to measure.
Need to prove that after the purposes of each subframe of having determined neighbor cell, UE carries out measuring process and the prior art measuring process is identical, the time location difference of the frequency pilot sign that difference only is to use is for measuring process, without any difference.
Second preferred embodiment
In the present embodiment, setting need send correct/incorrect replying (ACK/NACK) information of ordering in DwPTS time slot idle frequency band.Referring to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the method second preferred embodiment process chart of DwPTS time interval resource utilance of the present invention, and this flow process may further comprise the steps:
Step 501, when the DwPTS bandwidth had residue, the idle frequency band that eNB is set in the DwPTS time slot sent ACK/NACK information.
Step 502, the eNB configuration sends the idle frequency band of the employed DwPTS time slot of ACK/NACK information.Promptly specify in the DwPTS time slot and send the employed residue frequency band of ACK/NACK information.
Because it is limited being used to transmit the dedicated frequency band resource of P-SCH in DwPTS, therefore, will there be a large amount of residue band resources to be available for transmitting descending ack/nack signal when system bandwidth greatly the time.Which residue band resource transmits descending ack/nack signal among the concrete employing DwPTS, and mode has multiple.
A kind of mode can be: the residue band resource of descending ack/nack signal is transmitted in pre-configured fixing being used to.Another kind of mode is: according to the band resource selection strategy of configuration, dynamically select to be used to transmit the residue band resource of descending ack/nack signal.
Step 503, eNB is by system message, and described configuration information is notified to all UE in the sub-district: in DwPTS, send ACK/NACK information, send the employed residue frequency band of ACK/NACK information, and the control information that sends ACK/NACK information.
In this step, eNB is broadcast to all UE in the sub-district by dynamic broadcast control channel (D-BCCH) with configuration information.Also can notify each UE respectively with described configuration information by the scheduling controlling channel.
If be pre-configured in fixing band resource in the DwPTS residue frequency band, then directly comprise employed band information in the configuration information; If the employing dynamical fashion, what then comprise in the configuration information is the selection strategy that is used for selecting DwPTS residue band resource.
In the present embodiment, the control information of described transmission ACK/NACK information can comprise: the mode, the transmission sign indicating number sequence that descending ack/nack signal adopted and the corresponding relation of descending ack/nack signal and uplink scheduling control channel that transmit descending ack/nack signal.
Wherein, the mode of transmitting descending ack/nack signal comprises coherent manner and incoherent mode.Transmit sign indicating number sequence that descending ack/nack signal adopts and can be ZC (Zadoff-Chu) sequence or other auto-correlation, the good sequence of cross-correlation performance.
Step 504, UE receives the configuration information notice that eNB sends, know eNB will be in DwPTS transferring ACK/nack message, the employed frequency band of this ACK/NACK information and send the control information of ACK/NACK information.
If pre-configured fixing band resource then directly obtains employed band information from configuration information; If the employing dynamical fashion then according to the selection strategy of configuration information intermediate frequency band resources, is selected employed band information, for example select the frequency band adjacent with P-SCH.
Step 505, UE normally sends up control data or business datum, and waits for the ACK/NACK information that receives at the DwPTS of appointment residue frequency band.
Step 506, UE receives DwPTS, therefrom obtains ACK/NACK information.
In this step, UE obtains ACK/NACK information according to the control information of described transmission ACK/NACK information.If adopt coherent manner to transmit descending ack/nack signal, promptly in transmission signals, comprise frequency pilot sign, then UE can estimate channel according to frequency pilot sign, and then detects descending ack/nack signal.If adopt incoherent mode to transmit descending ack/nack signal, promptly do not comprise frequency pilot sign in Chuan Shu the signal, then UE can directly carry out the incoherent signal detection, detects descending ack/nack signal.
In the present embodiment, transmit descending ack/nack signal, not only can improve the frequency resource utilance of DwPTS, also increased the purposes of DwPTS at the surplus resources of DwPTS, and to the message transmission rate of conventional time slot also without any influence.In addition, can also be used transmit the method for descending ack/nack signal and the method for the descending ack/nack signal of existing transmission at DwPTS, thereby reach the better implement effect.

Referring to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is method the 3rd preferred embodiment process chart of DwPTS time interval resource utilance of the present invention, and this flow process may further comprise the steps:
Step 601, when the DwPTS bandwidth had residue, the idle frequency band that eNB is set in the DwPTS time slot sent uplink power control information.
Step 602, the eNB configuration sends the idle frequency band of the employed DwPTS time slot of uplink power control information.Promptly specify in the DwPTS time slot and send the employed residue frequency band of uplink power control information.
Because it is limited being used to transmit the dedicated frequency band resource of P-SCH in DwPTS, therefore, will there be a large amount of residue band resources to be available for transmitting uplink power control information when system bandwidth greatly the time.Which residue band resource transmits uplink power control information among the concrete DwPTS of employing, and mode has multiple.
A kind of mode can be: the residue band resource of uplink power control information is transmitted in pre-configured fixing being used to.Another kind of mode is: according to the band resource selection strategy of configuration, dynamically select to be used to transmit the residue band resource of uplink power control information.
