Background technology
In the LTE system, the application of HARQ (request of hybrid automatic repeat quest mixed automatic retransfer) technology has improved the reliability of communication.Its ACK/NACK (confirmation/non-confirmation) information by feedback determines whether retransmitting old data.For descending HARQ, ACK/NACK is in up PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel Physical Uplink Shared Channel) or PUCCH (PhysicalUplink Control Channel Physical Uplink Control Channel) feedback.
For TDD (Time Division Duplexing time division duplex) system, system frame structure as shown in Figure 1, ascending-descending subframes asymmetric determined that a sub-frame of uplink may need to feed back the ACK/NACK situation of several descending sub frames, and concrete sub-frame configuration sees Fig. 2.For example, when a UE is configured to TDD ascending-descending subframes configuration 1, at sub-frame of uplink n=2, need UE demodulation result ACK information or the nack message of feedback two of fronts descending sub frame n-7 and n-6, feedback relationship is referring to accompanying drawing 3.For the Bunding feedback model, the way of stipulating in agreement is the 2bitACK/NACK that two descending sub frames produce to be carried out the result that logical AND obtains 1bit then feed back at sub-frame of uplink n=2.If double fluid obtains the result of 2bit, the method for logical AND is seen accompanying drawing 4.
This 1bit or 2bit informational needs that UE produces feed back to the base station, determine whether to need to retransmit old data by the base station.There is no PUSCH when scheduling when up, these informational needs send to the base station by PUCCH, send on PUCCH form 1a or 1b.For Bunding bundled feedback pattern, about the calculating of the PUCCH logical resource index that sends ACK/NACK information, regulation like this in agreement at present:
Wherein, Np is the total number of CCE of p symbol in PDCCH, and Np+1 is the total number of CCE of p+1 symbol in PDCCH; M is the index of the k value of minimum; The index value that descending sub frame corresponding to described minimum k value takies the initial control channel particle CCE of PDCCH is n
CCEN
PUCCH (1)Be the PUCCH logical resource that SR (Scheduling Request dispatch request information) and semi-static ACK/NACK are kept in the base station, obtained by the configuration of the RRC (Radio Resource Control radio resource control) of base station layer; M is maximum numbers that this sub-frame of uplink needs feeding back downlink subframe ACK/NACK; In addition, up-downgoing proportioning is passed through broadcast announcement UE by the base station.
Fig. 5 obtains the mapping graph (M=3) of PUCCH logical resource index take TDD up-downgoing proportioning 3 as example according to above-mentioned formula.n
PUCCH (1)Determined that PUCCH takies the size of physical resource (RB Resourceblock), n
PUCCH (1)Be worth greatlyr, it is more that PUCCH takies RB.
Therefore the target of system makes n exactly
PUCCH (1)Be worth as much as possible littlely, and determine n
PUCCH (1)The size key is the obtaining value method of m, and in agreement, the value of regulation m is the m value that makes km (km ∈ K) minimum, and UE detects PDCCH at descending sub frame n-km, wherein, gathers the definition of K and sees Fig. 6.In the up-
downgoing proportioning 3 of Fig. 6, the set K of sub-frame of
uplink 2 is { k
0=7, k
1=6, k
2=11}, UE all detects PDCCH at these three descending sub frames, finds minimum km=6 in set K, obtains the index m=1 of this km.In Fig. 5
Represent n-7 subframe logical resource (m=0),
Represent n-6 subframe logical resource (m=1),

Obviously, the n that obtains according to the computational methods of present agreement
PUCCH (1)Not optimum method, because also there is less m value, no matter be to find out, can make n during m=0 from figure or from formula
PUCCH (1)Less.
In like manner, all there be the problem same with proportioning 3 for other up-downgoing proportioning patterns of TDD in Fig. 6, can obtain the similar resource mapping figure with Fig. 5, can see the m value choosing method according to the existing protocol regulation, what obtain is not minimum m value, the n that therefore obtains
PUCCH (1)Neither be inevitable minimum.Therefore applicant's intention provides a kind of method to make n
PUCCH (1)Less, thus it is less to make PUCCH take RB.
In addition, what RI (indication of Rank Indication order) reflected is the order of spatial channel matrix, UE feeds back to the base station with RI/PMI (the Precoding Matrix Indicator pre-coding matrix index) value of measuring, a best downlink precoding matrix just can be selected according to it in the base station, can effectively eliminate the correlation of channel, guarantee MIMO (the Multiple-Input Multiple-Out-put multiple-input and multiple-output) stability of system in each environment.
RI can feed back on PUSCH or PUCCH, and when there is no the PUSCH scheduling, RI sends on PUCCH.
In present realization, when RI and ACK/NACK exist simultaneously, send with PUCCH form 2a or 2b after combined coding.At first, RI information is carried out (20, A) coding obtains 20bit information, carries out QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying quarternary phase-shift keying (QPSK) signal) modulation after scrambling and obtains 10 symbols; The 1/2bit of ACK/NACK carries out separately BPSK (Binary Phase ShiftKeying two-phase PSK) or the QPSK modulation obtains 1 symbol, at last 11 sign map is sent to PUCCH is upper.
Obviously, some waste resource of above-mentioned implementation method.When RI and ACK/NACK exist simultaneously, send and to optimize again with PUCCH form 2a/2b, because RI only has 1bit or 2bit information.
