Background technology
For long-term evolution multi-carrier system, for supporting than LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) the wideer system bandwidth of system, adopted carrier aggregation technology among the LTE Rel-10 (version 10), be about to a plurality of continuous or discrete carrier aggregation and carry out work together, the peak rate of raising system is shown in Figure 1A.
LTE Rel-10 system can support 5 carrier waves to carry out polymerization at most, a UE (terminal) need be at the ACK (ACKnowledgement of corresponding a plurality of descending carriers of same sub-frame of uplink internal feedback and descending sub frame, correctly reply instruction)/NACK (Negative ACKnowledgement, wrong responses instruction) feedback information.Determined PUCCH (Physical Uplink Control Channel in the LTE-A system, Physical Uplink Control Channel) format 1b and 3 the multiplexing transmission schemes on PUCCH as feedback information, wherein the maximum transmitted bit number of PUCCH format 1b transmission plan is 4 bits, and the maximum transmitted bit number of PUCCH format 3 transmission plans is 20 bits.In addition, feedback information can also be gone up transmission at PUSCH (Physical Uplink Shared Channel, physical uplink link sharing channel).The UCI of PUCCH and PUSCH (Uplink Control Information, ascending control information) transmission all can only send on up main carrier, and promptly the last feedback of main carrier is at the feedback information of a plurality of descending carriers.
Under the Rel-10 state of carrier aggregation, determined that the ACK/NACK codebook size that UE need feed back determines to the downlink member carrier number of this UE configuration and the transmission block number of each member carrier according to the base station.With FDD (Frequency division duplex, Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)) is example, as has disposed 2 member carrier polymerizations, and each member carrier is transmission 2 code words at most, and then the ACK/NACK codebook size is 4 bits.For TDD (Time division duplex, time division duplex), owing to there be the situation of sub-frame of uplink less than descending sub frame, UE need be an example with TDD uplink-downlink configuration 2, shown in Figure 1B at the ACK/NACK of a sub-frame of uplink internal feedback at a plurality of descending sub frame PDSCH, UE need be in sub-frame of uplink 7 feedbacks at descending sub frame 9,0,1,3 ACK/NACK, simultaneously need be in sub-frame of uplink 2 feedbacks at descending sub frame 4,5,6,8 ACK/NACK.If UE has been configured 2 downlink member carrier polymerizations, and the transmission mode that disposes on each carrier wave allows 2 TB of maximum transmitted, and then the ACK/NACK codebook size that need feed back on the subframe on the up main carrier 2 or 7 of UE is 16bits.
Determined among the LTE Rel-10 that under state of carrier aggregation the descending PDSCH of each member carrier (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, physical down link sharing channel) transmission mode is a separate configurations.In some configuration, UE can not transmit PDSCH in some subframe, but owing to the size of feedback information in the present design is not considered subframe type, will not need also taking into account at ripple of feedback information, thereby increased the bit number of up feedback, reduced feedback performance.
In sum, determine that at present the different mode of feedback information bits might increase the bit number of up feedback, reduce feedback performance.

Enumerating several examples below is elaborated to the solution of the present invention.
With Fig. 4 is example, TDD UE polymerization 2 descending carriers, the transmission mode on each member carrier is pattern 8, and the subframe 3,4,8 and 9 in 2 carrier waves all is configured to the MBSFN subframe.
Still need respectively feed back the ACK/NACK information of 16bits in subframe 2 or 7 according to present mode UE, and this is a redundant information at the feedback information of subframe 3,4,8 and 9 wherein, there is not physical meaning, therefore actual each feedback has been transmitted the 8bits garbage more, can cause the ACK/NACK feedback performance to descend remote-effects downlink transfer performance like this.
In the ACK/NACK information (being subframe 5 and 6) of the non-MBSFN subframe on corresponding each CC of feedback only on the subframe 2 of up main carrier, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 8 bits according to the scheme of the embodiment of the invention; In the ACK/NACK information (being subframe 0 and 1) of only feeding back the non-MBSFN subframe on corresponding each CC on the subframe 7 of up main carrier, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 8 bits.
