In order to realize carrying out the periodic feedback scheduling of resource in the LTE-A system, the embodiment of the invention provides a kind of periodically method of feedback information of transmitting, in this method, the base station will send to terminal for the information of the periodic feedback resource of terminal distribution, terminal sends periodic feedback information to the base station according to the information of the periodic feedback resource that receives on this periodic feedback resource.
Referring to Fig. 2, the transmission that the embodiment of the invention provides is the method for feedback information periodically, specifically may further comprise the steps:
Step 10: the base station is a terminal distribution periodic feedback resource, and the information of this periodic feedback resource is sent to terminal by Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling and Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH);
Step 11: terminal sends periodic feedback information to the base station according to the information of the periodic feedback resource that receives on this periodic feedback resource.
In the step 10, the information of the periodic feedback resource that the base station sends comprises the long-term information of periodic feedback resource and the schedule information of periodic feedback resource.The long-term information of periodic feedback resource comprises feedback content type, feedback time cycle etc.; The schedule information of periodic feedback resource comprises Physical Resource Block (PRB) number, PRB position, modulation coding mode physical resource information such as (MCS) and other physical layer map informations.Wherein, the feedback content type can be explicit feedback type, implicit feedback type, SRS type etc.The periodic feedback information of explicit feedback type correspondence comprises any information of not carrying out any transmission or receiving processing.The periodic feedback information of implicit feedback type correspondence comprises CQI, PMI, RI information etc.The periodic feedback information of SRS type correspondence comprises Sounding Reference Signal etc.Certainly, the long-term information of periodic feedback resource is not limited to above-mentioned feedback content type, feedback time cycle, can also comprise any information that has nothing to do with channel.
In force, the base station is carried at the long-term information of periodic feedback resource in the RRC signaling and sends to terminal; Then, the schedule information with the periodic feedback resource sends to terminal in the moment of the scheduling feedback transmission first time by PDCCH.
When the information of the periodic feedback resource that sends in the base station comprises feedback content type, feedback time cycle and physical resource information, can dispatch in the following way:
At first, the base station is carried at feedback content type and feedback time cycle in Radio Resource control (RRC) signaling, and this RRC signaling is sent to terminal; The base station is carried at physical resource information in the descending control messages (DCI), and the moment of feedback transmission sends to terminal by Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) with this DCI for the first time in scheduling;
Then, terminal receives RRC signaling and DCI, from RRC signaling and DCI, read feedback content type, feedback time cycle and physical resource information, from this first time feedback transmission moment correspondence first feedback constantly, adopt this feedback time cycle and utilize the periodic feedback information of the represented physical resource of this physical resource information to this feedback content type correspondence of base station periodic feedback.For example, the moment of feedback transmission is t0 for the first time, and the feedback content type that terminal reads is an implicit type, and the feedback time cycle is T1, and physical resource information comprises 4<PRB<8 and I
MCS=29, then terminal from the t1 of t0 interval of delta t constantly, every integral multiple time of T1, utilize 4~No. 8 PRB to CQI, PMI and the RI information of many sub-districts that the base station feedback one-shot measurement obtains, and adopt the MCS of No. 29 correspondences that feedback message is carried out modulating-coding.
In the step 11, terminal can send periodic feedback information to the base station by physical uplink shared control channel (PUSCH).
For the terminal periodic feedback is stopped, the base station can also discharge periodic feedback indication information and be carried in the RRC signaling, and this RRC signaling is sent to terminal after sending schedule information; Terminal discharges indication information according to the periodic feedback of carrying in this RRC signaling, stops to send periodic feedback information to the base station, and property deenergized period feedback resources.
In order to make terminal carry out periodic feedback according to up-to-date resource information all the time, after the base station sends the information of a periodic feedback resource by RRC signaling and PDCCH, the information of the periodic feedback resource that reconfigures is sent to terminal by new RRC signaling and PDCCH, terminal sends periodic feedback information to the base station according to the information of the periodic feedback resource that reconfigures on the periodic feedback resource that this reconfigures.For example, the base station is carried at the long-term information of the periodic feedback resource that reconfigures in the new RRC signaling and sends to terminal, and the moment of feedback transmission sends to terminal by PDCCH for the first time in new scheduling with the schedule information of the periodic feedback resource that reconfigures; After terminal receives new RRC signaling and PDCCH, the first feedback of moment correspondence of feedback transmission begins, adopts feedback time cycle of comprising the long-term information that reconfigures constantly, and utilizes the represented physical resource of physical resource information that comprises in the schedule information that reconfigures to send periodic feedback information to the base station from new first time, and the RRC signaling and the inefficacy of the DCI on the PDCCH that receive of base station before.
Preferable, because PDCCH is used to dispatch shared resource, comprise physical down shared control channel (PDSCH) resource and PUSCH resource.The physical resource of conventional PDCCH appointment is generally used for the transmission of high level data and signaling, needs medium access control (MAC) layer to participate in, and mixed automatic repeat request (HARQ) process is arranged.Periodic feedback transmission of Information on PUSCH and the transfer of data difference on the conventional PUSCH are: what transmit during periodic feedback is physical layer signaling, need not notify the MAC layer, does not need the high level data organizational process; And there is not a HARQ process.Therefore, need to distinguish and to be used to dispatch the periodic feedback on the PUSCH and to be used to dispatch signaling on the PDCCH of routine data.The differentiating method that is used for signaling property dispatching cycle feedback, that transmit on PDCCH has following several:
First kind: use special RNTI sign to distinguish.That is, the base station is carried at the schedule information of periodic feedback resource among the DCI; Utilize pre-assigned, as to be exclusively used in dispatch terminal periodic feedback information this DCI of special Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) scrambling then, and the DCI after the scrambling is sent to terminal by PDCCH; After terminal detects the DCI that utilizes described special RNTI scrambling at PDCCH, the first feedback time of schedule information and the physical resource information of read cycle feedback resources from this DCI signaling.
In the manner, define a special RNTI, should be called comp-RNTI by special RNTI, be used to discern the DCI that is used for the dispatch terminal periodic feedback.
A comp-RNTI is distributed for each UE in the base station, and UE determines that this DCI is the dispatching command at the periodic feedback of this UE after detecting the DCI of the comp-RNTI scrambling that is utilized as this UE distribution at PDCCH.
After introducing comp-RNTI, eNB need distribute two RNTI at least for each UE, promptly conventional C-RNTI and comp-RNTI.
Second kind, utilize the message of PDCCH carrying to distinguish.That is, format content configuration is carried out with DCI in the base station, then the schedule information of periodic feedback resource is carried among the DCI after the configuration, and this DCI is sent to terminal by PDCCH; After terminal detects the DCI with described format content at PDCCH, the schedule information of read cycle feedback resources from this DCI signaling.
Concrete, can there be the mode that DCI carries out the format content configuration base station: add the differential threshold information that is used to distinguish the DCI (this DCI) that carries first feedback time and physical resource information and other DCI in DCI; Perhaps, the value of setting field among the DCI is set to be used to distinguish the numerical value of this DCI and other DCI.This setting field comprises: the MCS field among the DCI, PRB field etc.Be analyzed as follows:
PDCCH is used for physical layer resources scheduling, carrying be DCI.For different transmitting and scheduling types, different DCI forms is arranged.In order to identify the dispatching command that is used for the dispatch terminal periodic feedback, can utilize some territories in the DCI form.
In LTE, what ascending resource scheduling adopted is DCI form 0, and content relevant with the periodic feedback scheduling of resource in its essential information comprises: and PRB distribution, MCS, redundancy versions (redundancy version, RV), CQI asks (CQI request).
Wherein, MSC and RV territory be 5bit altogether, the MCS shown in the corresponding following table, RV and TBS information.TBS index be used to specify the transmission block size of determining size (Transport block size, TBS) so that get the transmission data to high level.RV0 can self-demarking code, and RV is not equal to 0 and is used for retransfer scheduling or other special purposes, when being used for retransfer scheduling RV be not equal to 0 generally can not self-demarking code.
In the LTE system, CQI request is used to specify needs to carry out the CQI transmission in this scheduling resource, if I
MCS=29, CQI request is made as 1, and PRB distributes the N of appointment
PRB≤ 4, represent to have only the CQI feedback in this PUSCH transmission.
Expand to the CoMP feedback of LTE-A, CQI request territory can change feedback request (feedbackrequest) territory into.
To sum up, the method that is used for the DCI of dispatch terminal periodic feedback of the format content identification by configuration DCI has following several:
Example one: add differential threshold information in DCI, this differential threshold information is used to distinguish described DCI and other DCI;
Example two: with field I
MCSValue be set to predetermined value and distinguish, I for example
MCS=30;
Example three: with field I
MCSBe set to predetermined value with the value of PRB and distinguish, for example I
MCS=29 and during 4<PRB, corresponding D CI is the DCI that is used for the dispatch terminal periodic feedback.
