The method of work of enhanced long-term evolution terminal and system
Technical field
The present invention relates to moving communicating field, particularly relate to the method for work and system that strengthen LTE-A terminal in Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution-Advanced is called for short LTE-A) system.
Background technology
Along with the development of mobile industry, and user is to the continuous growth of mobile data services demand, the requirement of people to the speed of mobile communication and service quality (Qos) is more and more higher, so at 3G (Third Generation) Moblie (3rd Generation, be called for short 3G) also there is no extensive commercialization before, person skilled has just started the research-and-development activity to next generation mobile communication system, wherein more typically third generation partner program (3rd Generation Partnership Project, be called for short 3GPP) Long Term Evolution (the Long Term Evolution that starts, be called for short LTE) project, the available maximum spectrum bandwidth of LTE system is 20MHz (megahertz).Along with the further evolution of network, lte-a system, as the evolution system of LTE system, can provide the spectral bandwidth up to 100MHz, supports more flexible higher-quality communication, will possess good backwards compatibility simultaneously to LTE system.In lte-a system, have multiple component carrier (CC, Component Carrier), LTE-A terminal may be simultaneously operated on one or more component carrier, and a LTE terminal can only be operated on the component carrier of some backward compatibility.
In standard discussion in early stage of lte-a system, discuss and can support the asymmetrical situation of up-downgoing component carrier number.Generally speaking, in the configuration of system, descending component carrier number is greater than uplink component carrier number.In the asymmetrical situation of up-downgoing component carrier number, after subscriber equipment sends random access channel preamble sequence in uplink component carrier, which strengthen base station not know to send random access channel responses on descending component carrier of uplink component carrier pairing therewith, descending component carrier indefinite (or being called ambiguity) problem is also existed for wireless heterogeneous networks (Radio Resource Control is called for short RRC) the connection establishment message (message 4) in subsequent process.
In standard [TS 36.101 840] version, add and LTE terminal received and sends the restriction of frequency interval of data.The reception of LTE terminal in each frequency band and the centre frequency interval sending data need meet the requirement shown in following table:

In the asymmetrical situation of up-downgoing component carrier number, all descending component carriers all can not be configured to backward compatibility, for the uplink component carrier that LTE terminal is accessible, the descending component carrier centre frequency of its correspondence also just determines, like this, in community during specific asymmetric up-downgoing component carrier number, because LTE terminal cannot work on the transmitting-receiving frequency at non-default interval, so be generally that the descending component carrier of non-default spaced relationship is configured to non-backward compatible carrier waves with uplink component carrier, and be configured to backward compatibility carrier wave by meeting the upper carrier wave showing to limit with uplink component carrier, so, modal situation is, the descending component carrier of the backward compatibility corresponding with a uplink component carrier only has one, the descending component carrier of non-backward compatible corresponding thereto has one or more.On this basis, under the scene that there is non-backward compatible component carrier, how LTE-A terminal works is the problem that needs are determined.
About the working method of LTE-A terminal, need backward compatibility component carrier to coordinate when the proposal of some producers (as Nortel (R1-090762), LG (R1-090779)) relates to requirement connected state LTE-A terminal works and work together.This mode limits the degree of freedom of LTE-A terminal works, and the connected state LTE-A terminal on non-backward compatible component carrier must work together with other backward compatibility component carrier coordinates, and is subject to the restriction of other backward compatibility component carrier.
Qualcomm mentions the resident carrier wave of non-backward compatible and non-backward compatible non-resident carrier concept in relevant criterion (with reference to " Qualcomm Europe; R1-090860; Notion ofanchor carrier in LTE-A; WG1_RL1 meeting 56 "), the former supports the LTE-A terminal of Idle state and connected state, support synchronous/broadcast/paging function, the LTE-A terminal of the latter's only Supporting connectivity state, UE can not reside on such carrier wave, back-up system information updating function, is furnished with new synchronizing signal to keep synchronous.For the resident carrier wave of non-backward compatible, when Idle state LTE-A terminal also can resident time, during the specific asymmetric carrier aggregation in community in initial access process descending component carrier unstructured problem still need solve, the Change impact introduced thus has to be assessed; For non-backward compatible non-resident carrier, LTE-A terminal still needs the cooperation of backward compatibility component carrier to work together when connected state, be subject to the restriction of other backward compatibility component carrier.

Embodiment
Method of the present invention is applicable to the lte-a system that there is non-backward compatible component carrier.Such as, when the descending component carrier number of lte-a system is greater than uplink component carrier number, because band configurations transmitting-receiving frequencies different in LTE has different fixed intervals (normative reference TS 36.101 840), when system descending component carrier number is greater than uplink component carrier number, also just there is the situation of non-backward compatible component carrier.
In embodiment, non-backward compatible carrier waves refers to, does not support the carrier wave of LTE terminal in lte-a system.The connected state of LTE-A terminal refers to that LTE-A terminal establishes RRC and connects; The Idle state of LTE-A terminal refers to that LTE-A terminal is not set up RRC and connected.
The work system of LTE-A terminal comprises LTE-A terminal and strengthens base station,
LTE-A terminal, for when being in connected state, need not work alone in non-backward compatible carrier waves by means of the Informational support of backward compatibility carrier wave; Also for when being in Idle state, only reside on the descending component carrier of backward compatibility;
Strengthen base station, described non-backward compatible carrier waves provides the system configuration parameter that described LTE-A terminal works alone in this non-backward compatible carrier waves; Also for carrying out Idle state park operation with LTE-A terminal on the descending component carrier of backward compatibility, after the uplink component carrier corresponding with the descending component carrier of backward compatibility receives random access preamble message, after this, on com-patible downmix component carrier, send accidental access response; And and set up between LTE-A terminal in RRC connection procedure, after this, on com-patible downmix component carrier, send wireless heterogeneous networks connection establishment message.
As shown in Figure 1, the method for work of enhanced long-term evolution terminal comprises:
(1) be in connected state LTE-A terminal to be operated in independently in non-backward compatible carrier waves, do not need the Informational support by means of backward compatibility carrier wave.
Strengthen base station and the connected state LTE-A relevant configuration information that terminal can work alone in this non-backward compatible carrier waves is provided in this non-backward compatible carrier waves, as synchronous/system information/paging etc., connected state LTE-A terminal can be operated in non-backward compatible carrier waves (namely connected state LTE-A terminal can not need cooperation by other backward compatibility carrier wave and Informational support, just can work in this non-backward compatible carrier waves) independently.
In embodiment, the non-backward compatible carrier waves that connected state LTE-A terminal works alone refers to one or more descending non-backward compatible carrier waves.
Be in connected state LTE-A terminal to be operated in independently in non-backward compatible carrier waves, do not need the Informational support by means of backward compatibility carrier wave, then need not monitor other component carrier, be conducive to saving power for terminal.
(2) the LTE-A terminal being in Idle state only resides on backward compatibility carrier wave;
" resident " that be in the LTE-A terminal of Idle state in of the present invention relates to all operations of LTE-A terminal at Idle state, such as, receive broadcast, beep-page message etc.
And LTE-A terminal is resident on backward compatibility carrier wave when community selection or cell reselection, and does not carry out resident in non-backward compatible carrier waves; It is resident to backward compatibility carrier wave when LTE-A terminal forwards Idle state to from connected state.
The LTE-A terminal that system configuration or protocol conventions are in Idle state only resides in after on backward compatibility carrier wave, LTE-A terminal in the random access procedure, its accessible uplink component carrier only corresponds to the descending component carrier of a backward compatibility, the RACH that enhancing base station receives the transmission of LTE-A terminal at a certain up-link carrier is leading, just can know the descending component carrier that terminal initial is resident, so strengthen base station to send the leading response of RACH on com-patible downmix component carrier after this, and in follow-up wireless heterogeneous networks connection procedure, strengthen base station and also after this, on com-patible downmix component carrier, send wireless heterogeneous networks connection establishment message (message 4).Like this, to initial access descending carrier unstructured problem, strengthen base station and need not send accidental access response on all descending component carrier corresponding with uplink component carrier, save system descending resource; And, not needing special selection strategy to select a descending component carrier for sending accidental access response from multiple descending component carrier, simplifying the operation strengthening base station.
The inventive method is further illustrated below with specific embodiment.
As shown in Figure 2,5 descending component carriers are had in this embodiment LTE-A community, 3 uplink component carrier, as shown in Figure 2, wherein backward compatibility component carrier to being descending component carrier 2 and uplink component carrier 1, descending component carrier 3 and uplink component carrier 2, descending component carrier 5 and uplink component carrier 3 respectively.Non-backward compatible component carrier is to being descending component carrier 1 and descending component carrier 1, descending component carrier 4 and uplink component carrier 2 respectively.Wherein, the center carrier frequencies of configurating downlink component carrier 1 and descending component carrier 4 is not on 100KHz, base station issues connected state terminal at descending component carrier 1 and component carrier 4 and to work alone must configure on such component carrier, as synchronous/system information/paging etc.
To LTE-A terminal, Cell searching is searched for by the frequency of 100KHz integral multiple, if initial downlink is synchronized on descending component carrier 2, and then receive broadcast, its pairing uplink component carrier 1 is known by broadcast, LTE-A terminal sends RACH targeting sequencing in uplink component carrier 1, after eNodeB receives RACH targeting sequencing, know that the resident descending component carrier of LTE-A is descending component carrier 2, and send RACH response at descending component carrier 2, LTE-A terminal sends message 3 in uplink component carrier 1 after receiving RACH response, eNodeB and then send message 4 at descending component carrier 2.
The LTE-A terminal of connected state can work alone a descending component carrier in office.
When LTE-A terminal forwards Idle state to from connected state, eNodeB is configured to descending backward compatibility carrier wave, as on component carrier 2, and this terminal and then reside in descending component carrier 2.
