Background technology
(Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest HARQ) is a kind of packet retransmission mechanism of setting up in physical layer for the reliable transmission that ensures packet in the communication to mix automatic repeat requests.For example in the 3G standard that comprises WCDMA, TS-SCDMA and among HSUPA, the HSDPA, and the Long Term Evolution in the formulation standard (Long Term Evolution LTE) in the works, has adopted the HARQ technology.
The basic principle of HARQ is: the re-transmission of packet is carried out between transmitting terminal and receiving terminal, and one is the base station in transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, and another is a terminal.Feedback message comprises correctly replys (ACK) and wrong responses (NACK).The packet that the receiving terminal receiving end/sending end is sent, if correct the reception, then feedback is correctly replied (ACK) message to transmitting terminal, show that current data packet correctly sends reception, and then transmitting terminal carries out the transmission of next packet; Do not receive if receiving terminal is correct, then feedback error is replied (NACK) message to transmitting terminal, and transmitting terminal can retransmit receiving terminal according to this message does not have the correct packet that receives.
Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) in the system, the process of feeding back ACK/NACK can be as shown in Figure 1:
S110: Physical Resource Block (the Physical Resource Block that the base station can take by descending PDCCH channel indication uplink transmission data, PRB) demodulation reference mark of information and uplink (Demodulation Reference Symbol, information such as DMRS).
The PRB information that can take, in fact comprise the minimum PRB numbering that the data of follow-up uplink can take in all PRB, mean recipient's (here as terminal) in follow-up uplink transmission data process, transmit the data that need transmission from the place of this PRB numbering beginning.DMRS is similar to the Midamble sign indicating number in the TD-SCDMA system, is used for follow-up processing such as uplink channel estimation.The general corresponding basic DMRS sign indicating number in base station, and the DMRS that terminal adopts generally obtains after cyclic shift based on this basic DMRS sign indicating number.The DMRS information of the last indication of PDCCH, i.e. the circular shift information of the DMRS sign indicating number of indicating terminal subsequent transmission upstream data process employing.
The PRB information and the DMRS information of indication are generally indicated by DCI form 0, and promptly the base station PRB information of indicating uplink transmission data to take by the DCI form 0 among the PDCCH (is designated as I
PRB_RA Lowest_index) and DMRS information (be designated as n
DMRS) etc.
S120: terminal adopts Physical Uplink Shared Channel (Physical Uplink Sharing Channel, PUSCH) PRB as indicated and DMRS transmission data.
After the information such as PRB that terminal is indicated on the descending PDCCH in receiving aforementioned S110 and DMRS, the resource that begins from the minimum PRB that indicates on PUSCH is come transmit ascending data, and adopts the DMRS of indication.The front is mentioned DMRS and is used for uplink channel estimation, promptly after subsequent base stations receives the data that terminal transmits by PUSCH, utilizes DMRS to do channel estimating, and then the upstream data that could utilize the further demodulation of channel estimation results to send.
S130: after the base station receives the up data of sending, give terminal by PHICH channel feedback ACK/NACK.
The base station utilizes the feedback mechanism among the HARQ after receiving the data of transmitting on the PUSCH, if correctly receive data, then feeding back ACK information if can't correctly receive data, is then fed back nack message.The ACK/NACK information of feedback after processing such as modulation, spread spectrum and scrambling, is mapped to the transmitted over resources of PHICH channel.

For each TB, all need to feed back an ACK/NACK.That is to say that each code word all needs the feedback of an ACK/NACK.
As previously mentioned, multithread refers to the data flow of physical layer, and for example the data flow that can be a plurality of spatial reuses with a data flow point merges at the stream of receiving terminal to all spatial reuses, forms a partial data stream.
For the situation of single codeword, the up transmission that can have a plurality of data flow, then receiving terminal merges a plurality of data flow, and feeds back an ACK/NACK information.
For the situation of many code words, the wherein up transmission that can have a plurality of data flow of each code word, receiving terminal merges a plurality of data flow, and to ACK/NACK information of each code word feedback.

Below introduce in the LTE-A system another transmission method embodiment of ACK/NACK under many code words situation, Fig. 5 shows the flow chart of this embodiment, comprising:
S510: the ACK/NACK of many code words is merged.
Among the aforementioned embodiment shown in Figure 4, for each code word, all according to embodiment feeding back ACK/NACK shown in Figure 3.
And in the present embodiment, be at first the ACK/NACK of many code words to be merged.ACK/NACK represents by binary word in transfer of data.For example ACK can be expressed as 0, and NACK can be designated 1.Different feedbacks can be operated by the logical AND of binary word and merged.Below be example with the simplest two code words, various situations are made an explanation:
A: for one of them code word, the content of feedback is NACK, be expressed as 0, and for another code word, the content of feedback also is NACK, also is expressed as 0, and then to carry out after the logical AND operation also be 0 to the ACK/NACK of two code words;
B: for one of them code word, the content of feedback is NACK, be expressed as 0, and for another code word, the content of feedback is ACK, is expressed as 1, and then to carry out after the logical AND operation also be 0 to the ACK/NACK of two code words;
C: for one of them code word, the content of feedback is ACK, be expressed as 1, and for another code word, the content of feedback also is ACK, also is expressed as 1, and then to carry out after the logical AND operation also be 1 to the ACK/NACK of two code words.
For the many code words more than two code words, the mode and the previous example that merge are similar, for example for three code words, are that the ACK/NACK with three feedbacks carries out the logical AND operation.
Value after this merges still can be with 0 expression NACK, with 0 expression ACK.Under this situation, merge 1 of back expression ACK, its implication is that all code words all correctly receive at receiving terminal, and actual conditions also to be each code word all correctly received.And the expression NACK 0, its implication is that all code words all do not have correct the reception at receiving terminal, although may being the part code word, actual conditions correctly do not received at receiving terminal, and other code word has still correctly been received, also may be that all code words are not all correctly received really, but after logical AND operation merging, will represent without exception that all code words are not all correctly received.
Like this, by the merging of above-mentioned logical AND, can be to a plurality of bits of the expression ACK/NACK of a plurality of code words feedback be merged into a bit, thus saved resource.
S520: it is right to utilize the cyclic shift indication of a predefined DMRS among the DMRS of a predefined code word or arbitrary all streams of code word to calculate the resource indication that is used for transferring ACK/NACK on the PHICH channel.
For the situation of many code words multithread, all corresponding DMRS of each stream of each code word.And each DMRS all to be basic DMRS obtain after unique a kind of cyclic shift, i.e. corresponding n of each DMRS
DMRS
Therefore, can select a predefined code word in many code words, this predefined code word can be by base station and terminal agreement.In the DMRS of all streams of code word of this selection, select a predefined DMRS, the cyclic shift indication n that a DMRS of this appointment is corresponding
DMRSLike this, utilize this n
DMRSEven many code words multithread transmission still obtains the last resource of PHICH and is used for transferring ACK/NACK feedback.
Concrete, can followingly calculate:
Wherein, n
PHICH GroupThe numbering of the group that adopts among the expression PHICH, n
PHICH SeqRepresent the orthogonal sequence that adopts in the group, (n
PHICH Group, n
PHICH Seq) to be the resource indication that is used for transferring ACK/NACK on the PHICH channel right;
n
DMRSA predefined DMRS among the DMRS of corresponding all streams of predetermined codeword;
N
PHICH GroupIt is the number of the group of the PHICH in the current subframe;
N
SF PHICHThe size of the spreading factor when being the PHICH modulation;
I
PRB_RA Lowest_indexThe numbering of minimum PRB in the indication of expression resource;
Like this, obtain unique resource indication of multithread situation in many code words to (n by formula (4)
PHICH Group, n
PHICH Seq).
S530: the ACK/NACK of the described merging of feedback on the described resource of PHICH is indicated indicated resource.
Still be illustrated in logical AND merging mode.For aforementioned merging back be the situation of ACK, represents that all code words are all correctly received, and actual conditions also to be each code word all correctly received, so after the ACK after will merging fed back to terminal, terminal did not need the TB of arbitrary code word is retransmitted.
And for the aforementioned situation of merging into NACK, although may being the part code word, actual conditions correctly do not received at receiving terminal, and other code word has still correctly been received, also may be that all code words are not all correctly received really, and after merging feedback here, represent without exception that all code words are not all correctly received.Like this, terminal can retransmit the TB of all code words after receiving the NACK feedback that merges expression.
Here embodiment illustrated in fig. 5 with respect to aforementioned embodiment shown in Figure 4, can only feed back an ACK/NACK indication for the situation of many code words multithread, transmit required resource thereby reduced.
By above-mentioned three embodiment as seen, the invention provides the right method of resource of determining to be identified under single codeword multithread and the many code words multithread situation transferring ACK/NACK, thereby determined the resource on the PHICH of transferring ACK/NACK, and then realized feeding back ACK/NACK.
