Background technology
For long-term evolution multi-carrier system, for supporting than LTE (Long Term Evolution, Long Term Evolution) the wider system bandwidth of system, adopted carrier aggregation technology in 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 as shown in Figure 1A.
LTE Rel-10 system can support at most 5 carrier waves to carry out polymerization, a UE (terminal) need to be at the ACK (ACKnowledgement of the 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) format1b and the 3 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 format3 transmission plan is 20 bits.In addition, feedback information can also be in the upper transmission of 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 namely the last feedback of main carrier is for 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 to 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.Be example with FDD (Frequency division duplex, Frequency Division Duplexing (FDD)), as configured 2 member carrier polymerizations, each member carrier is transmission 2 code words at most, and the ACK/NACK codebook size is 4 bits.For TDD (Time division duplex, time division duplex), due to the situation that exists sub-frame of uplink less than descending sub frame, UE need to be at the ACK/NACK of a sub-frame of uplink internal feedback for a plurality of descending sub frame PDSCH, take TDD uplink-downlink configuration 2 as example, as shown in Figure 1B, UE need to be in sub-frame of uplink 7 feedbacks for descending sub frame 9,0,1,3 ACK/NACK, simultaneously need to be in sub-frame of uplink 2 feedbacks for descending sub frame 4,5,6,8 ACK/NACK.If UE has been configured 2 downlink member carrier polymerizations, and the transmission mode that configures on each carrier wave allows 2 TB of maximum transmitted, and the ACK/NACK codebook size that need to feed back on the subframe 2 or 7 on up main carrier of UE is 16bits.
Determined in LTE Rel-10 under state of carrier aggregation, the descending PDSCH of each member carrier (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, physical down link sharing channel) transmission mode is separate configurations.In some configuration, UE can not transmit PDSCH in some subframe, but because the size of feedback information in 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 uplink feedback, reduced feedback performance.
In sum, determine that at present the different mode of feedback information bits might increase the bit number of uplink feedback, reduce feedback performance.

The below enumerates several examples the solution of the present invention is elaborated.
Take Fig. 4 as 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 to respectively feed back in subframe 2 or 7 the ACK/NACK information of 16bits according to present mode UE, and this is wherein redundant information for subframe 3,4,8 and 9 feedback information, there is no physical meaning, therefore actual each feedback has been transmitted the 8bits garbage more, can cause like this ACK/NACK feedback performance to descend, remote-effects downlink transfer performance.
Scheme according to the embodiment of the present invention is only being fed back the ACK/NACK information (being subframe 5 and 6) of the non-MBSFN subframe on corresponding each CC on the subframe 2 of up main carrier, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 8 bits; Only feeding back the ACK/NACK information (being subframe 0 and 1) of the non-MBSFN subframe on corresponding each CC on the subframe 7 of up main carrier, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 8 bits.
As can be seen from the above: under same scene, the solution of the present invention has been saved 8bits, thereby the bit number of uplink feedback has improved feedback performance and PDSCH transmission performance.
Take Fig. 5 as example, UE is configured to transmission mode 8 on CC1, is configured to transmission mode 9 on CC2, should get rid of feedback bits corresponding to MBSFN subframe on CC1 when calculating ACK/NACK feedback codebook size.Namely feedback on the subframe 2 of up main carrier for CC1 on subframe 5 and 6 and CC2 on subframe 4,5,6 and 8 ACK/NACK information, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 12 bits; Feedback on the subframe 7 of up main carrier for CC1 on subframe 0 and 1 and CC2 on subframe 9,0,1 and 3 ACK/NACK information, corresponding ACK/NACK codebook size is 12 bits.
Take Fig. 6 as example, suppose not have the ACK/NACK between the code word of space to merge.
FDD UE polymerization 4 DL CC, and the subframe 1,2 on each DL CC, 6 and 7 is configured to the MBSFN subframe, UE is configured to transmission mode 8 on DL CC1 and DL CC2, be configured to transmission mode 9 on DL CC3 and DL CC4.
When calculating ACK/NACK feedback codebook size, get rid of feedback bits corresponding to each MBSFN subframe on DL CC1 and DL CC2.Namely the sub-frame of uplink 5 and 6 at up main carrier feeds back corresponding to the descending sub frame 1 of descending carrier and 2 ACK/NACK information, and only comprise the corresponding feedback bits of DL CC3 and DL CC4 this moment, and namely feeding back codebook size is 4bits; In sub-frame of uplink 0 and the 1 ACK/NACK information of feeding back corresponding to descending carrier descending sub frame 6 and 7 of main carrier, only comprise the corresponding feedback bits of DL CC3 and DL CC4 this moment, and namely feeding back codebook size is 4bits.
