Embodiment
In LTE-A, can reach higher transmission rate in order to make UE, UE needs the enterprising data transfer of a plurality of even whole member carriers in the sub-district simultaneously, if according to present mechanism, UE need be on all member carriers monitoring control channel.If UE is monitoring control channel on all carrier waves always, can waste more energy undoubtedly.
In order to make much of the embodiment of the invention, at first introduce discontinuous reception (Discontinuous Reception, DRX) technology.
In order to solve the power consumption problem, GSM has adopted the DRX mode of operation, under this mode of operation, and terminal periodic property control channel is monitored, thereby reach the purpose of economize on electricity.
The principle of DRX is as shown in Figure 2.Wherein the time period of On duration (monitoring the duration) expression UE monitoring control channel, open the radio-frequency channel therebetween, and continuous monitoring control channel; Remove outside the On duration At All Other Times, UE is in Sleep (dormancy) state, and its radio frequency link will be closed, and monitoring control channel no longer is to reach purpose of power saving.(Cycle) periodically appears in On Duration, and the concrete cycle is realized by the eNB configuration.For the concrete DRX of realization operates, LTE has designed multiple timer, and the automatic repeat requests of combination mixing (Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request, HARQ) process has provided the operating process under the DRX state, and the concrete introduction of relevant timer is following.
1. On Duration Timer (continue monitor timer): continuous severally can carry Physical Downlink Control Channel (Physical Downlink Control Channel, subframe PDCCH) from what the DRX cycle starting point began to count.UE need monitor PDCCH during this period, to check the resource allocation that whether has to this UE.If the terminal receives the up-downgoing scheduling during On Duration; To start other timer and carry out follow-up scheduling process; If but the terminal does not receive the up-downgoing scheduling during On Duration; Will get into the sleep state, up to next DRX cycle, On Duration Timer could receive transfer of data when starting again.
If UE receives the up-downgoing scheduling during On Duration, also possibly start following timer, indication UE further monitors PDCCH.
2. DRX Inactivity Timer (the non-Active Timer of DRX): start when receiving the PDCCH of scheduling new data, UE monitors PDCCH always between the starting period; End condition is this timer expiry or the medium access control of receiving forced termination (Media Access Control, MAC) layer signaling.
3. HARQ RTT Timer (HARQ Round Trip Timer): only to downlink transfer; Start when receiving the PDCCH of dispatching downlink data; Regular length passes the time interval for short weight, only if covered by other timer during this period, otherwise need not monitor PDCCH.
4. DRX Retransmission Timer (DRX retransmission timer): only to downlink transfer, after HRAQ RTT Timer is overtime, if preceding once transmission still decode successfully, then startup, UE monitors PDCCH always between the starting period; End condition is this timer expiry or receives the retransfer scheduling of expectation.
5. DRX Short cycle Timer (DRX short cycle timer):, allow configuration two kinds of DRX cycle:long cycle (long period) and short cycle (short period) for the characteristics that cooperate data service to arrive better.The on duration timer in two kinds of cycles is identical, but the sleep time is different.In short cycle, the sleep time is shorter relatively, UE can be quickly monitoring control channel once more.Long cycle must dispose, and is the initial condition of DRX process; Short cycle is optional.Short DRX cycle Timer is provided with and adopts the short cycle duration.After short cycle time is overtime, UE will use long cycle.
Fig. 3 has provided the course of work and the correlation of above-mentioned timer.At on duration t1 therebetween constantly, eNB has dispatched the initial transmission to process 1, so UE opens Inactivity Timer and corresponding RTT Timer1.Because the decoding of the initial transmission of Process 1 is unsuccessful, after RTT Timer was overtime, UE had opened Retransmission Timer1.
In the t2 moment, eNB has dispatched the initial transmission to Process 2, and Inactivity Timer is restarted, and opens the RTT Timer2 to Process 2 simultaneously.
In the t3 moment before Retransmission timer1 is overtime, UE has received the re-transmission to Process 1, then stop Retransmission Timer1, and open RTT Timer1.
After RTT Timer2 was overtime, the success because the initial transmission of Process 2 is not decoded was so UE opens Retransmission Timer2.In the t4 moment before Retransmission Timer2 is overtime, eNB has dispatched the re-transmission of Process 2, so UE stops Retransmission Timer2, opens RTT Timer2.
In the t5 moment before Retransmission Timer1 is overtime, eNB has continued to dispatch the re-transmission of Process 1, so Retransmission Timer1 is terminated, starts RTT Timer1 simultaneously.Before RTT Timer2 was overtime, UE was to the success of the data decode among the Process 2, so to the eNB feeding back ACK, after RTT Timer2 is overtime, also do not restart Retransmission Timer2 simultaneously.Equally, before RTT Timer1 was overtime, UE was to the success of the data decode among the Process 1, so to the eNB feeding back ACK, after RTT Timer1 is overtime, also do not restart Retransmission Timer1.
Can find out in On duration Timer, Retransmission Timer and Inactivity Timer, have any one timer to move through said process, UE is with monitoring control channel.The time of UE monitoring control channel is called Active Time again.Because the effect of a plurality of timers, the time of monitoring PDCCH possibly be extended behind On duration, even overlaps with next On duration process.
In addition; There is DRX MAC CE (MAC control element in the DRX mechanism; The medium access control unit) mechanism, its effect are after U E receives DRX MAC CE, will return to the state that adopts short DRX cycle (if configuration) or long DRX cycle immediately.Its effect be when eNB when not having follow-up data to dispatch, order UE stops on duration timer and Inactivity timer at once, if having RTT timer then monitor, otherwise entering sleep state, with further raising electricity saving performance.
For single-carrier system, LTE system for example because a sub-district has only a carrier wave, is in UE monitoring control channel a kind of maybe process as shown in Figure 4 of DRX state.
In Fig. 4:
T1:UE gets into next on duration, the beginning monitoring control channel;
T2:UE receives the control signaling of new transfer on duration, open Inactivity Timer and RTT Timer;
T3:Inactivity Timer is overtime; UE gets into long cycle (supposing not dispose short cycle);
T4:RTT Timer is overtime, because not success of initial transmission, so corresponding Retransmission Timer opens;
T5: during Retransmission Timer, received the scheduling of corresponding re-transmission, and opened RTT Timer; Retransmission Timer is terminated.
T6:RTT Timer is overtime, decodes successfully because retransmit, so do not continue to start Retransmission Timer;
T7:UE gets on duration, continues discontinuously monitoring control channels.
In the multicarrier system that adopts CA, for example in the LTE-A system, how to adopt the DRX technology, still there is not clear and definite scheme.If but based on a principle: on the member carrier (CC) of compatible LTE UE, the DRX process of LTE needs still to support that therefore a kind of possible scheme is the independently DRX process of on all CC, carrying out separately, referring to shown in Figure 5.
In the process of Fig. 5, CC1 and CC2 have disposed the DRX process, and independent separately.The transfer of data of on CC3, carrying out does not influence the DRX process of CC1 and CC2.The shortcoming that this scheme exists is, even transfer of data only occurs in wherein on the part CC, UE must be on all CC monitoring control channel, do not utilize the electricity saving performance of UE.
Therefore, in LTE-A, based on the traffic packets arrival rule same with the LTE system; Can design following DRX mechanism: during on duration; UE only monitors the control signaling on a CC, when transmission took place, UE monitored the control signaling at once on a plurality of CC.This mechanism can enlarge transmission bandwidth when the packet Batch Arrival starts all the other timers of DRX, the data of arrival are transmitted faster, and when not having data arrives, UE only need monitor a CC, compares with Fig. 5 and can improve electricity saving performance.
Referring to Fig. 6, the method flow diagram for monitoring control channel in the multicarrier system of the present invention comprises:
S601: the base station issues the DRX configuration signal to the terminal; Indicating terminal is during starting on duration timer; Monitoring control channel on the allocation carriers that has disposed said on duration timer only; During starting Inactivity Timer, Retransmission Timer or Short cycle Timer, monitoring control channel on part or all of carrier wave;
S602: the terminal receives the DRX configuration signal, and according to the indication monitoring control channel of DRX configuration signal.
Wherein, said allocation carriers is meant to start the corresponding carrier wave of on duration timer.
Describe in detail in the face of preferred process of the present invention embodiment down.
Participate in Fig. 7, be method embodiment one sketch map.
Generally, embodiment one is when on duration timer starts, monitoring control channel on allocation carriers; When Inactivity timer started, UE is monitoring control channel on all CC; During other Timer, UE is monitoring control channel on the corresponding CC of present timing device only.
Among Fig. 7, only therefore configuration on duration timer on CC3 is called allocation carriers with CC3, UE during on duration, monitoring control channel on CC3 only.
T1: get into a new on duration;
T2:UE receives the control signaling of initial transmission 1 on CC3, then on all CC, start inactivity Timer, and open corresponding RTT Timer;
T3:UE receives the control signaling of initial transmission 2 on CC2, and opens corresponding RTT Timer; Inactivity Timer on all CC will restart;
T4:Inactivity timer is overtime; On CC3, start DRX short cycle Timer (short cycle has been disposed in supposition);
The last RTT Timer of t5:CC3 is overtime, because initial transmission 1 success, so can not start corresponding Retransmission Timer;
T6:UE gets into next on duration Timer on CC3;
The last RTT Timer of t7:CC2 is overtime, because also not success of transmission 2, so will start the Retransmission Timer of correspondence.Between the starting period, UE receives the re-transmission of initial transmission 2 at this Timer, and corresponding RTT Timer is opened, and stops Retransmission timer simultaneously;
The last RTT Timer of t8:CC2 is overtime, because retransmit the success of having decoded, so do not restart Retransmission Timer;
The last short DRX cycle Timer of t9:CC3 is overtime; UE gets into next on duration (adopting long cycle) on CC3.
Sum up embodiment one, monitoring control channel is as shown in table 1 during each timer of startup DRX.
Table 1
On?duration?timer Monitoring control channel (CC3) on allocation carriers only
Inactivity?timer Monitoring control channel on all CC (CC1, CC2, CC3)
Retransmission?timer Monitoring control channel (CC2) on the CC of correspondence only
Short?cycle?timer Only to the allocation carriers that continues the monitoring phase effectively (CC3)
Wherein, only effective to allocation carriers CC3 during short cycle timer, this is because generally only the allocation carriers that has disposed on duration timer is started short cycle timer.
In embodiment one, it is necessary identical with the CC of initial transmission to suppose that HARQ retransmits, but in the discussion of LTE-A at present, whether HARQ retransmits and can occur on the carrier wave different with initial transmission, does not also confirm.In embodiment two, suppose that the HARQ re-transmission possibly occur on any one CC, so corresponding DRX process is as shown in Figure 8.
In Fig. 8, On duration timer only disposes on CC3, and UE only monitors the control signaling on CC3 during on duration.
T1: get into a new on duration;
T2:UE receives the control signaling of initial transmission 1 on CC3, then on all CC, start inactivity Timer, and open corresponding RTT Timer;
T3:UE receives the control signaling of initial transmission 2 on CC2, and opens corresponding RTT Timer; Inactivity Timer on all CC will restart;
T4:Inactivity timer is overtime; On CC3, start short DRX cycle Timer (adopting short cycle);
The last RTT Timer of t5:CC3 is overtime, because transmit 1 success, so can not start corresponding Retransmission Timer;
T6:UE gets into next on duration Timer on CC3;
The last RTT Timer of t7:CC2 is overtime, because also not success of transmission 2, so will on all CC, start Retransmission Timer.Between the starting period, UE receives the scheduling of re-transmission on CC3 at this Timer, with starting corresponding RTT Timer, stops at all CC simultaneously and goes up corresponding Retransmission timer;
The last RTT Timer of t8:CC3 is overtime, because retransmit success, so do not restart Retransmission Timer;
The last DRX short cycle Timer of t9:CC3 is overtime; UE gets into next on duration (adopting long cycle) on CC3.
Sum up embodiment two, monitoring control channel is as shown in table 2 during each timer of startup DRX.
Table 2
On?duration?Timer Only disposing monitoring control channel (CC3) on the CC
Inactivity?Timer Monitoring control channel on all CC (CC1, CC2, CC3)
Retransmission?Timer Monitoring control channel on all CC (CC1, CC2, CC3)
Short?cycle?Timer Only to the configuration CC that continues the monitoring phase effectively (CC3)
It is thus clear that the difference of table 2 and table 1 is that mainly the 4th hurdle is for the processing that starts during the Retransmission Timer.
Participate in Fig. 9, be method embodiment three sketch mapes.
In Fig. 9, only therefore configuration on duration timer on CC2 is called allocation carriers with CC2.Initial condition, UE during on duration, monitoring control channel on CC2 only.
T1: on CC2, get into a new on duration;
T2:UE receives the control signaling of initial transmission 1 on CC2, then on all CC, start inactivity Timer, and open corresponding RTT Timer;
T3:Inactivity timer is overtime; Start DRX short cycle Timer (short cycle has been disposed in supposition); Operation on duration timer during DRX short cycle Timer, UE will be on all CC monitoring control channel;
The last RTT Timer of t4:CC2 is overtime, because initial transmission 1 do not decode successfully, so will start corresponding Retransmission Timer; During Retransmission Timer, received corresponding re-transmission, Retransmission timer will be terminated, and open corresponding RTT timer;
The last RTT Timer of t5:CC2 is overtime, owing to decode successfully, will can not start the Retransmission Timer of correspondence;
T6:short DRX cycle Timer is overtime, and UE gets into next on duration (adopt long cycle, and only on CC2, monitor) on CC2.
Sum up embodiment three, monitoring control channel is as shown in table 3 during each timer of startup DRX.
Table 3
Figure GDA0000142036020000121
It is thus clear that, in embodiment three, in the on duration timer of short cycle Timer run duration, UE will be on all CC monitoring control channel.
Three embodiment except above-mentioned introduction also can consider following application scenarios and execution mode.
In the DRX of LTE process, the scheduling that UE has received new transfer again in (such as between the Retransmission Timer starting period) during the Active will start Inactivity Timer once more.This process equally also is possible in LTE-A.
At this moment, following possible solution can be arranged:
● regulation Inactivity/Retransmission Timer starts on all CC in standard;
● through the CC that means of signaling is monitored when starting Inactivity/Retransmission Timer/Short cycle timer by eNB flexible configuration UE, the monitoring signaling method that possibly adopt comprises:
Figure GDA0000142036020000122
physical layer signaling: increase a kind of new DCI (Dedicated control information) form;
MAC layer signaling: increase a kind of new MAC CE (Control element: form control unit);
Figure GDA0000142036020000124
RRC signaling: in the RRC of LTE DRX signaling, increase the CC indication information.
Pass through signaling method; The CC that need specify UE to monitor in signaling, such as the principle that can adopt bitmap, each CC is corresponding with a bit; Deserved bit is changed to 1 expression UE need monitors corresponding CC, corresponding bit is changed to 0 expression UE need not monitor corresponding CC.
In LTE-A, can adopt the DRX MAC CE mechanism of similar LTE too.A kind of relatively reasonable plan is: after UE receives the packet that comprises DRX MAC CE; Stop On duration Timer and Inactivity Timer; And will on configuration CC, get into the state of short DRX cycle (if configuration) or long DRX cycle, and stop to monitor the control channel on other all CC.
Corresponding with said method, the present invention also provides a kind of device of controlling monitoring control channel in the multicarrier system.Particularly, this device can be meant base station equipment itself, also can be meant to be positioned at the inner functional entity of base station equipment, can pass through software, hardware or software and hardware combining and realize.
