Detailed Description
At present, in a mobile communication system adopting a single carrier technology, a transmitting end often adopts a method of adding a cyclic sequence number to transmission information of a shared channel to assist a receiving end in performing power control. With the adoption of the Multi-carrier technology, Access schemes such as Multi-carrier High Speed Downlink Packet Access (MC-HSDPA) and Multi-carrier High Speed uplink Packet Access (MC-HSUPA) are introduced into a mobile communication system. The existing cyclic numbering mode aiming at the shared channel under the single carrier cannot well achieve the purpose of assisting the receiving end to carry out power control, so in the embodiment of the invention, aiming at the multi-carrier system, a new cyclic numbering method aiming at the shared channel used by the sending end is provided, and is used for assisting the receiving end to complete the power control.
The shared channel can be E-AGCH or HS-SCCH, or other shared channels, the common feature of the shared channel is that the UE-ID is implicitly contained in the cyclic check code (CRC) check information, so that the receiving end can only count the block loss probability (BLER) in a cyclic numbering mode to the shared channel, thereby achieving the purpose of power control. The sending end can be a base station or a terminal, correspondingly, the receiving end can be a terminal or a base station, and in order to make the understanding of the numbering modes of the sending end and the receiving end consistent, the two parties can use high-level signaling, physical signaling or protocol standards to agree in advance on the circular numbering mode of the shared channel.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the numbering of the shared channels carried on multiple carriers by the sending end is to perform power control indication on the receiving end, and referring to fig. 1, the detailed flow of the power control indication on the receiving end is realized by the sending end based on the numbering of the shared channels carried on multiple carriers as follows:
step 100: the transmitting end determines a plurality of carriers to be used for transmitting data.
Step 110: and the sending end carries out cyclic numbering on the shared channels carried by the carriers respectively by taking TTI as a unit.
Step 120: the sending end transmits the serial number of each shared channel to the receiving end by using the plurality of carriers, and instructs the receiving end to execute corresponding power control according to the continuity of the serial numbers of the shared channels.
In step 120, the transmitting end transmits data to the receiving end through each shared channel carried by a plurality of carriers, and since the number of each shared channel is carried in the channel transmission information transmitted by the transmitting end as a part of the channel format, the receiving end receives the number of each shared channel as well as the data transmitted by the transmitting end through each shared channel.
In the above embodiment, the sending end, when performing step 110, includes, but is not limited to, the following two manners a and B:
the method A is characterized in that TTI is taken as a unit, and independent cyclic numbering is respectively carried out on a shared channel borne by each carrier; that is, within a plurality of carriers, the shared channels carried by the carriers are circularly numbered independently for every TTI.
When the implementation mode A is realized, the following three implementation modes, namely a1, a2 and a3, are further divided:
a1, in the same carrier, using the same number for multiple shared channels in the same TTI.
For example, referring to fig. 2, in TTIt +1 of carrier i, the shared channel of control carrier i +1, the shared channel of control carrier i +2, and the shared channel of control carrier i +3 are all numbered 1.
The numbering of the other carriers is the same as that of the carrier i, and is not described herein again.
The maximum value of the number of each shared channel is L (L is a predetermined natural number), and the number is filled in the channel transmission information (e.g., format) of the shared channel.
a2, in the same carrier, a plurality of shared channels in the same TTI are numbered differently.
For example, referring to fig. 3, in TTIt +1 of carrier i, the shared channel number of control carrier i +1 is 1, the shared channel number of control carrier i +2 is 2, and the shared channel number of control carrier i +3 is 3.
The numbering of the other carriers is the same as that of the carrier i, and the description thereof is omitted here.
On the other hand, when the numbering is performed by the method a2, for a plurality of shared channels carried by the same carrier in the same TTI, the cyclic numbering is performed in the order of the channelization codes used by the shared channels from low to high, or the cyclic numbering is performed in the order of the frequencies of the carriers controlled by the shared channels from low to high.
a3, in the same carrier, the shared channels which control the same carrier but in different TTIs are circularly numbered.
For example, referring to fig. 4, the shared channel of the control carrier i is respectively numbered 0, 1, and 2 in TTI t, TTI t +1, and TTI t +2, and the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 is respectively numbered 0 and 1 in TTI t +1 and TTI t +2, and the numbers are independent from each other and do not interfere with each other; and because the shared channel controlling a certain carrier is allowed to appear only once in one TTI, no numbering conflict occurs.
Mode B, taking TTI as a unit, and carrying out joint cycle numbering on shared channels respectively borne by a plurality of carriers; that is, the shared channels carried by the carriers are cyclically numbered uniformly every TTI.
When the implementation mode B is realized, the following three implementation modes B1, B2 and B3 are further divided:
b1, among a plurality of carriers, a plurality of shared channels in the same TTI are assigned with the same number. For example, referring to fig. 5, in TTI t +1 of carrier i, the common channel of control carrier i and the common channel of control carrier i +1 are both numbered 1, and in TTI t +1 of carrier i +1, the common channel of control carrier i +2 is also numbered 1. When numbering the shared channels, it is not distinguished which carrier the shared channels specifically control.
The numbering of the other carriers is the same as that of the carrier i, and is not described herein again.
The maximum value of the number of each shared channel is L (L is a predetermined natural number), and the number is filled in the channel transmission information (e.g., format) of the shared channel.
b2, among a plurality of carriers, adopting different numbers for a plurality of shared channels in the same TTI;
for example, referring to fig. 6, in TTI t +1 of carrier i, the shared channel number of control carrier i is 1, the shared channel number of control carrier i +1 is 2, and in TTI t +1 of carrier i +1, the shared channel number of control carrier i +2 is 3. When numbering the shared channels, it is not distinguished which carrier the shared channels specifically control.
On the other hand, when the numbering is performed by the method b2, for a plurality of shared channels carried by a plurality of carrier frequencies in the same TTI, the cyclic numbering is performed in the order of the channelization codes used by the shared channels from low to high, or the cyclic numbering is performed in the order of the frequencies of the carriers controlled by the shared channels from low to high.
b3, among a plurality of carriers, the shared channels which control the same carrier but different TTIs are circularly numbered.
For example, referring to fig. 7, the shared channel number of the control carrier i is 0 in TTI t of the carrier i, the shared channel number of the control carrier i is 1 in TTI t +1 of the carrier i +1, and the shared channel number of the control carrier i is 2 in TTI t +2 of the carrier i; similarly, the shared channel number of the carrier i +1 is controlled to be 0 in the TTI t +1 of the carrier i, and the shared channel number of the carrier i +1 is controlled to be 1 in the TTI t +2 of the carrier i + 1. The numbering modes are independent and do not interfere with each other; and because the shared channel for controlling a certain carrier is only allowed to appear once in one TTI, no numbering conflict occurs
Based on the above embodiments, referring to fig. 8, in the embodiment of the present invention, a detailed flow of performing power control by the receiving end according to the instruction of the transmitting end is as follows:
step 800: the receiving end receives the number of each shared channel sent by the sending end in steps 100-120.
In practical applications, when receiving data transmitted by each shared channel from a transmitting end, a receiving end first needs to perform cyclic check code (CRC) check on the data, and when the data is confirmed to be correct, reads out the number of the shared channel to perform continuity judgment.
Step 810: and the receiving end counts the block loss probability of the multiple carriers by taking the TTI as a unit according to the continuity of the serial numbers of the shared channels borne by the multiple carriers.
Step 820: and the receiving end resets the target signal-to-noise ratios of the multiple carriers based on the statistical block loss probability of the multiple carriers.
In the above embodiment, when step 810 is executed, the following X, Y, Z implementation manners are included but not limited to:
and in the mode X, if the sending end respectively carries out independent cyclic numbering on the shared channels respectively borne by the plurality of carriers by taking TTI as a unit, the receiving end respectively carries out block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers independently.
In implementation X, the following three implementations X1, X2, and X3 are further divided:
x1, if the sending end is in the same carrier, the same number is adopted for the multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end respectively judges whether the number of the numbers meeting the continuity in the numbers of the shared channels received by the current TTI reaches a set threshold value (such as 1), if so, the channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the channel is determined to be lost, and the block loss probability of the multiple carriers is respectively counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end respectively carries out the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to respectively reset corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the respective block loss probabilities of the plurality of carriers.
For example: the shared channel carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH, and the sending end adopts a1 mode for numbering, then, after receiving the data sent by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after the check is passed, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 0, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 1, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t are kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are not continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in TTI t + 1;
then, on the carrier i, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 1 is not received, and the HS-SCCH channels with the HCSNs of 0 and 2 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, and the number of lost blocks is 1, and the block loss probability of the carrier i is calculated through continuous statistics for a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of the BLER and the signal-to-noise ratio (SIR) under different channel environments can be obtained, and the required signal-to-noise ratio of the HS-SCCH channel under different channel environments when the BLER is 0.01 is provided in Table 1. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, the channel environment is proved to be deteriorated at this time, the original target signal-to-noise ratio cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target signal-to-noise ratio of the carrier i needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, so that the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channel is completed. Where the correspondence between BLER and SIR depends on the specific algorithm implementation, table 1 is only given as an example.
TABLE 1
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
x2, if the sending end is in the same carrier, adopting different numbers for multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end respectively judges whether the numbers of all the shared channels received in the current TTI all meet the continuity for the multiple carriers, if so, the receiving end determines that the shared channels are not lost, otherwise, the receiving end determines that the shared channels are lost, and respectively counts the block loss probability of the multiple carriers based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end respectively carries out the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to respectively reset corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the respective block loss probabilities of the plurality of carriers.
For example: the shared channel carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH, and the sending end adopts a2 mode for numbering, then, after receiving the data sent by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after the check is passed, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 3, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI are continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 3, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 4, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is not continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in the TTI t + 1;
then, on the carrier i, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 2 is not received, and the HS-SCCH channels with the HCSNs of 0, 1, 3, and 4 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 4, and the number of lost blocks is 1, and the block loss probability of the carrier i is calculated through continuous statistics for a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained, and the required signal-to-noise ratio of the HS-SCCH channel under different channel environments when BLER is 0.01 is provided in Table 1. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, the channel environment is proved to be deteriorated at this time, the original target signal-to-noise ratio cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, the target signal-to-noise ratio of the carrier i needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, and therefore the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channel is completed.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
x3, if the sending end is in the same carrier, the sending end carries out cycle numbering aiming at the shared channel which is in different TTI and controls the same carrier, the receiving end respectively judges whether the number of the shared channel which is received in the current TTI and controls a certain carrier meets the continuity aiming at the plurality of carriers, if so, the receiving end determines that the shared channel is not lost, otherwise, the receiving end determines that the shared channel is lost, and the block loss probability of the plurality of carriers is respectively counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end respectively carries out the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to respectively reset corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the respective block loss probabilities of the plurality of carriers.
For example: the carrier i carries the shared channel HS-SCCH1 for controlling the carrier i, the shared channel HS-SCCH2 for controlling the carrier i +1, and the sending end numbering in a3 mode, then after receiving the data sent by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, after passing the check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 1, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTit are kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 3, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is not continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in the TTI t + 1;
then, for the shared channel of the control carrier i, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 1 is not received, and the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 0 and 2 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, and the number of lost blocks is 1; controlling the shared channel of the carrier i +1, receiving no HS-SCCH channel with the number of 2 and receiving HS-SCCH channels with the numbers of 1 and 3; the total number of lost blocks is 1+ 1-2, and the total number of received blocks is 2+ 2-4. And calculating the block loss probability of the carrier frequency i through continuous statistics of a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained, and the required signal-to-noise ratio of the HS-SCCH channel under different channel environments when BLER is 0.01 is provided in Table 1. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, the channel environment is proved to be deteriorated at this time, the original target signal-to-noise ratio cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, the target signal-to-noise ratio of the carrier i needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, and therefore the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channel is completed.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
And in the mode Y, if the sending end respectively carries out independent cyclic numbering on the shared channels respectively borne by the plurality of carriers by taking TTI as a unit, the receiving end uniformly carries out block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers.
In implementation Y, the following three implementations Y1, Y2 and Y3 are divided again:
y1, if the sending end is in the same carrier, the same number is used for the multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end respectively judges whether the number of the serial numbers meeting the continuity in the serial numbers of the shared channels received by the current TTI reaches the set threshold value or not according to the multiple carriers, if so, the channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the channel is determined to be lost, and the block loss probability of the multiple carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 carried on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, and the sending end numbers in a1 mode, so that after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 0, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 1, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 1, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i in TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i +1 in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are not continuous, determining that the carrier i loses the HS-SCCH in TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 3, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is not continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the carrier i +1 loses the HS-SCCH in the TTI t + 1;
then, on the carrier i, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 1 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 0 and 2 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, on the carrier i +1, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 1 and 3 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, at this time, on the carrier i and the carrier i +1, the number of correctly received blocks in total is 2+2 ═ 4, and the number of lost blocks is 1+1 ═ 2. And calculating to obtain the total block loss probability through continuous statistics of a period of time. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
y2, if the sending end is in the same carrier, adopting different numbers for multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end respectively judges whether the numbers of all the shared channels received in the current TTI all meet the continuity for the multiple carriers, if so, the shared channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the shared channel is determined to be lost, and the block loss probability of the multiple carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 carried on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, and the sending end numbers in a2 mode, so that after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 1, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 3, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t are kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i in the TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs are all continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i +1 in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 3, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 4, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is not continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t, determining that the carrier i loses the HS-SCCH in TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 3, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs in the TTI t are not continuous, determining that the carrier i +1 loses the HS-SCCH in the TTI t + 1;
then, on the carrier i, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 0, 1, 3, and 4 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 4, the number of lost blocks is 1, on the carrier i +1, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 1 and 3 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, at this time, on the carrier i and the carrier i +1, the number of correctly received blocks in total is 4+2 ═ 6, and the number of lost blocks is 1+1 ═ 2. And calculating to obtain the block loss probability through continuous statistics of a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
y3, if the sending end carries out cycle numbering on the shared channels which are in different TTIs and control the same carrier in the same carrier, the receiving end respectively judges whether the number of the shared channel which is received in the current TTI and controls a certain carrier meets the continuity or not, if yes, the shared channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the shared channel is determined to be lost, and the block loss probability of the carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 carried on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, and the sending end performs numbering in a3 mode, so that after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end performs CRC (cyclic redundancy check) check first, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 1, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 1, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t are kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i in the TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs are all continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost by the carrier i +1 in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 3, and the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are not continuous, determining that the carrier i loses the HS-SCCH in TTI t + 1; if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 3, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs in the TTI t are not continuous, determining that the carrier i +1 loses the HS-SCCH in the TTI t + 1;
then, on the carrier i, the shared channel of the carrier i is controlled, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 1 is not received, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 0 and 2 is received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, the shared channel of the carrier i +2 is controlled, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channel with the HCSN of 1 and 3 is received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, at this time, the number of correctly received blocks on the carrier i is 2+2 ═ 4, and the number of lost blocks is 1+1 ═ 2. The HS-SCCH channel numbered 2 is not received on the carrier i +1, the HS-SCCH channels numbered 1 and 3 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, and the number of lost blocks is 1, at this time, the number of correctly received blocks on the carrier i and the carrier i +1 is 4+2 ═ 6, and the number of lost blocks is 2+1 ═ 3. And calculating to obtain the block loss probability through continuous statistics of a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
And in the mode Z, if the sending end carries out joint cycle numbering on the shared channels respectively borne by the carriers by taking TTI as a unit, the receiving end carries out block loss probability statistics on the carriers in a unified way.
In implementing Z, there are three implementations of Z1, Z2, and Z3 as follows:
z1, if the sending end is in the same carrier, the same number is used for the multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end judges whether the number of the serial numbers meeting the continuity in the serial numbers of the shared channels received by the current TTI reaches the set threshold value or not, if yes, the channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the channel is determined to be lost, and the probability of the lost blocks of the multiple carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 carried on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, and the sending end numbers in a b1 mode, so that after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 0, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 0, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 1 and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 1, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH is continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost in TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 2, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t are not continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in the TTI t + 1;
then, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 1 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 0 and 2 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, and the number of lost blocks is 1, and the block loss probability is calculated through continuous statistics for a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
z2, if the sending end is in the same carrier, adopting different numbers for multiple shared channels in the same TTI, the receiving end judges whether the numbers of all the shared channels received in the current TTI all meet the continuity for the multiple carriers, if so, the receiving end determines that the shared channels are not lost, otherwise, the receiving end determines that the shared channels are lost, and the block loss probability of the multiple carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i carried on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 carried on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, and the sending end numbers in a b2 mode, so that after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end firstly performs CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and assuming that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 2, then:
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 3, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 4, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 5, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs in the TTI t are all kept continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is not lost in the TTI t + 1;
if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 5, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 6, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 7, and the HCSNs of the HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t are not continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in the TTI t + 1;
then, HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs 3, 4 are not received, HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs 0, 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 are received, i.e., the number of correctly received blocks is 6, and the number of lost blocks is 2. And calculating to obtain the block loss probability through continuous statistics of a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
z3, if the sending end is in the same carrier, the sending end carries out cycle numbering for the shared channel which is in different TTI and controls the same carrier, the receiving end judges whether the number of the shared channel which is received in the current TTI and controls a certain carrier meets the continuity or not, if yes, the shared channel is determined not to be lost, otherwise, the shared channel is determined to be lost, and the block loss probability of the carriers is uniformly counted based on the judgment result.
After the receiving end uniformly performs the block loss probability statistics on the plurality of carriers, the receiving end also needs to uniformly reset the corresponding target signal-to-noise ratios on the plurality of carriers according to the obtained block loss probability.
For example: the shared channel of the control carrier i borne on the carrier i is HS-SCCH1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH2, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1 borne on the carrier i +1 is HS-SCCH3, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2 is HS-SCCH4, and the sending end carries out numbering in a b3 mode, then, after receiving data transmitted by the sending end, the receiving end firstly carries out CRC check, reads the HCSN of each HS-SCCH after passing the check, and supposing that the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t is 0, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 1, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH4 is 2, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 1, then:
and if the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in the TTI t +2 is 1, and the HCSN keeps continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, determining that the shared channel HS-SCCH of the control carrier i is not lost in the TTI t + 1. And the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH4 is 3, and the HCSN keeps continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, so that the HS-SCCH channel of the control carrier i +2 is determined not to be lost in the TTI t + 1. And the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 2, and the HCSN is continuous with the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in the TTI t, so that the HS-SCCH channel of the control carrier i +1 is determined not to be lost in the TTI t + 1.
If the HCSN of the HS-SCCH1 received by the receiving end in TTI t +2 is 2, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH2 is 3, the HCSNs of the two HS-SCCHs and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are not continuous, the HCSN of the HS-SCCH3 is 3, and the HCSN of the HS-SCCH in TTI t are not continuous, determining that the HS-SCCH is lost in TTI t + 1;
then, the shared channel of the control carrier i does not receive the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 1, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 0 and 2 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +2, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 1 and 3 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, the shared channel of the control carrier i +1, the HS-SCCH channel with HCSN of 2 is not received, the HS-SCCH channels with HCSNs of 1 and 3 are received, that is, the number of correctly received blocks is 2, the number of lost blocks is 1, at this time, the number of correctly received blocks on the carrier i and the carrier i +1 is 2+2+ 6, and the number of lost blocks is 1+1+ 1+ 3. And calculating to obtain the block loss probability through continuous statistics of a period of time. Through simulation, a corresponding relation curve of BLER and SIR under different channel environments can be obtained. Supposing that the calculated BLER is 0.015, based on Table 1, it is proved that the channel environment is deteriorated at this time, the original target SNR cannot meet the requirement that the BLER is 0.01, and the target SNR of the HS-SCCH channels of all carriers needs to be reset to-8.61 dB from-9.40 dB, thereby completing the outer loop power control of the HS-SCCH channels.
The above embodiments are also applicable to an E-AGCH channel in a multi-carrier system, where the E-AGCH and an E-PUCH scheduled by the E-AGCH share a carrier under a normal condition, for example, all shared channels of a scheduled carrier i are carried on a carrier frequency i, and for this condition, the above embodiments are also applicable, and are not described herein again.
