Embodiment
The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the solution of the present invention, RS has inherited the essential characteristic of nontransparent relaying, that is, RS is relay data business and all control messages (preamble, FCH and MAP message) simultaneously.But compare with nontransparent relaying, the RS in the solution of the present invention can be operated in the frequency segmentation identical with its BS.By various dividing methods (time-division/frequency division/code minute), overcome interference problem.Frame structure shown in Fig. 6 shows the principle of the solution of the present invention.
In the solution of the present invention, for the communication that is similar to nontransparent relaying between BS and RS, DL (down link) and UL (up link) relay area have also been defined.By R-FCH and R-MAP, controlling this communicates by letter.Significantly, these relay area do not have interference problem between BS and RS.
For the communication between the communication between BS and MS and RS and MS, DL and UL access area have also been defined respectively.For fear of interference, DL/UL bursty data and the DL/UL bursty data in RS frame in BS frame should take different OFDMA time frequency unit group, as shown in Figure 6.Range channel is code minute competitive channel, and BS and RS can share identical OFDMA time frequency unit group.
The FCH of the FCH of BS and MAP and RS and MAP also should be assigned with different time frequency unit group.For this purpose, the solution of the present invention is incorporated into preamble and FCH by new function.
First, the FCH of BS and the FCH of RS can provide MAP positional information.In IEEE 802.16e and IEEE802.16j, the MAP of BS and the MAP of RS always have fixed position in frame.BS and RS do not need to MS indication MAP position.Thus, in FCH, there is not MAP positional information.But in the solution of the present invention, MAP position is also revocable.In order to allow MS find out this MAP, FCH should indicate MAP position, that is, and and the first time frequency unit of MAP.
Secondly, preamble can be impliedly to MS indication FCH position.As MAP, in IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16j, FCH has default location.It always takies front four time frequency unit of each segmentation.But in the solution of the present invention, the FCH of BS is assigned to front 6 time frequency unit, and the FCH of RS must be assigned to follow-up time frequency unit.In order to allow MS find out the FCH of RS, the solution of the present invention provides the special relationship between the FCH position that two methods set up preamble and RS.The first method is for RS defines new preamble, and the cross correlation due between BS preamble and RS preamble, has solved the interference problem between preamble.The second method is for RS, to divide the preamble carrier wave of independent separate, and the difference due to BS and RS preamble carrier wave subcarrier, has solved preamble interference.By new index relative, except segmentation and IDcell (community ID), MS can also know frame source (BS or RS) and IDrelay (relay station ID).Here, IDrelay is used for the FCH of RS to carry out index.For example, BS supports three RS, and it can carry out index by IDrelay 0,1,2.IDrelay is in such a way corresponding to FCH position:
--IDrelay0 is corresponding to RS FCH position 0, and it is followed after BS FCH;
IDrelay1 is corresponding to RS FCH position 1, and it is followed after RS FCH 0;
--IDrelay0 is corresponding to RS FCH position 2, and it is followed after RS FCH 1.
The solution of the present invention has expanded the function of preamble so that it is distinguished BS and RS, and can carry out index to RSFCH.
By above technical scheme, RS can be operated in identical segmentation with BS.This RS is very suitable for cannot obtaining for RS those positions of independent frequency segmentation.
In IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16j, the first symbol of BS frame and RS frame is preamble.The basic function of preamble is that PHY (physical layer) is synchronous.All preamble subcarriers are divided into three sub-carrier set.Utilize following equation to define preamble subcarriers set:
PreambleCarrierSet
n=n+3k.
PreambleCarrierSet wherein
nall subcarriers of distributing to specific preamble have been specified;
N is that index is 0 ... the number of 2 preamble subcarriers set;
K is operation index, for example, for 2K-FFT, be 0 to 567, for 1024-FFT, is 0 to 283.
Preamble is used promotes BPSK modulation, by specific pseudo noise (PN) code, those subcarriers of preamble subcarriers set is modulated.These preamble subcarriers set are in such a way corresponding to three segmentations:
--preamble subcarriers set 0 is used in segmentation 0;
--preamble subcarriers set 1 is used in segmentation 1;
--preamble subcarriers set 2 is used in segmentation 2.
Note, for preamble subcarriers set be different for the frequency allocation plan of segmentation.Segmentation and its preamble subcarriers set have different subcarrier set.
Except synchronizing function, preamble is also impliedly determined segmentation and IDcell.IDcell is by the foundation of the subcarrier permutation as in each subchannel.A segmentation has a plurality of IDcell and selects.When MS utilizes preamble synchronous, this MS by by preamble and segmentation and IDcell between index relative know frequency segmentation and subcarrier permutation pattern.According to its segmentation, this MS can find FCH position, because FCH always takies front four time frequency unit in the DL part of this segmentation, as shown in Figure 7.Therefore, this MS can find out the FCH at default location place.
In this scheme, for fear of interference, RS FCH will take the position different from BS FCH, that is, RS FCH will be assigned with BS FCH time frequency unit afterwards, as shown in Figure 8.Here, suppose that BS supports maximum 3 RS.This RS can be indicated by IDrelay.RS FCH and BS FCH have identical length, that is, and and 6 time frequency unit.Once MS has known IDrelay, this MS can find out FCH position.Relation between IDrelay and FCH position is as follows:
--IDrelay0 is corresponding to FCH position 1;
--IDrelay1 is corresponding to FCH position 2;
--IDrelay2 is corresponding to FCH position 3.
When MS utilizes preamble synchronous, except knowing segmentation and IDcell, this MS also knows frame source (BS or RS) and IDrelay.For this purpose, this scheme has been set up particular kind of relationship between preamble and RS.
Meanwhile, in this scheme, RS preamble also takies this first OFDMA symbol, and shares identical preamble subcarriers set with BS.Therefore, in this scheme, should consider the interference problem between BS and RS.
Exist two kinds of methods to set up RS index by preamble:
Method 1:BS preamble and RS preamble all take all subcarriers of preamble subcarriers set.Cross correlation by pseudo noise (PN) code overcomes the interference between BS preamble and RS preamble or between two RS.This scheme is not specified the generating algorithm of PN sequence, can use existing generating algorithm or other algorithms in IEEE 802.16e.Table 1 has provided the example of the index relative of preamble and segmentation, IDcell, BS/RS indication and IDrelay, has wherein supposed:
--preamble PN length is 284 bits, corresponding to 1024FFT pattern;
--each segmentation has 8 IDcell;
--each BS can support maximum three RS.
In table 1, for any segmentation and IDcell couple, there are 4 preambles.These 4 preambles are that cross-correlation is to avoid the interference when they are present in same cells.By table 1, once MS receives preamble, this MS by this table 1 of inspection to determine that it is BS or RS frame.If RS frame, its IDrelay of the further index of MS.According to this IDrelay, MS will find out FCH position further to operate.
The example of the index relative of table 1 the first method (1024-FFT pattern)
Method 2: the preamble subcarriers set of segmentation is divided into a plurality of groups, for example 4 groups.Group for BS and other 3 groups for RS.Significantly, because BS takies different preamble subcarriers set with its relay station, the second method can solve preamble interference problem preferably.Can utilize following equation to define preamble subcarriers set:
PreambleCarrierSet
n,m=n+3m+12k.
PreambleCarrierSet wherein
nall subcarriers of distributing to specific preamble have been specified;
N is that index is 0 ... the number of 2 preamble subcarriers set;
M is that index is 0 ... the number of 3 preamble code character;
K is operation index, for example, for 2K-FFT, be 0 to 141, for 1024-FFT, is 0 to 71.
In the method, all preamble subcarriers will be divided into 12 groups:
--preamble subcarriers set 0, group 0: the BS with fragment number 0;
--preamble subcarriers set 0, group 1: the RS 1 (IDrelay=0) with fragment number 0;
--preamble subcarriers set 0, group 2: the RS 2 (IDrelay=1) with fragment number 0;
--preamble subcarriers set 0, group 3: the RS 3 (IDrelay=2) with fragment number 0;
--preamble subcarriers set 1, group 0: the BS with fragment number 1;
--preamble subcarriers set 1, group 1: the RS 1 (IDrelay=0) with fragment number 1;
--preamble subcarriers set 1, group 2: the RS 2 (IDrelay=1) with fragment number 1;
--preamble subcarriers set 1, group 3: the RS 3 (IDrelay=2) with fragment number 1;
--preamble subcarriers set 2, group 0: the BS with fragment number 2;
--preamble subcarriers set 2, group 1: the RS 1 (IDrelay=0) with fragment number 2;
--preamble subcarriers set 2, group 2: the RS 2 (IDrelay=1) with fragment number 2;
--preamble subcarriers set 2, group 3: the RS 3 (IDrelay=2) with fragment number 2.
In the second method, it is shorter that preamble length becomes, and 1/4 of the preamble length in IEEE 802.16e, for example, for 2K-FFT, be 142 subcarriers or be 71 subcarriers for 1024-FFT.This scheme is not specified the generating algorithm of preamble, can use generating algorithm or other algorithms in IEEE 802.16e.Table 2 has provided the example of the index relative of preamble and segmentation, IDcell, BS/RS indication and IDrelay.The condition of supposing is identical with method 1.By this relation, once MS has found preamble, this MS will know which subcarrier set is this preamble carrier wave set belong to, and further identify segmentation, IDcell, BS/RS indication and IDrelay (for FCH position).Second party method has defined the new preamble structure therefor for hop relay network.
The example of the index relative of table 2 the second method (1024-FFT pattern)
FCH is that frame is controlled header, is used for subchannels bitmap that transmission used and the MAP transmission mode of current segmentation.In IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16j, FCH takies front 4 time frequency unit of the DL part of segmentation.These time frequency unit comprise by QPSK take encoding rate as 1/2 and repeated encoding modulate as 4.Each FCH comprises the DL frame prefix of 24 bits, and the DL frame prefix of this 24 bit will be replicated to form 48 bit blocks.The DL frame prefix of this 24 bit comprises:
-the subchannels bitmap used: 6 bits (0: groups of subchannels 0; 1: groups of subchannels 1 ...)
-repeated encoding indication: 2 bits (0: repeated encoding not on DL-MAP; 1: repeated encoding is 2; 2: repeated encoding is 4; 3: repeated encoding is 6)
-coding indication: 3 bits (0: the CC coding using on DL-MAP; 1:BTC; 2:CTC; 3:ZT CC; 4:LDPC; 5-7: retain)
-DL-MAP length: 8 bits
-retain: 5 bits
MAP in frame has defined the use for the time interval of the MS bursty data of downlink subframe and uplink sub-frames.In IEEE 802.16e and IEEE 802.16j, the MAP of each segmentation always this time frequency unit after FCH starts to be mapped to the time frequency unit group of this segmentation according to the preferential order of frequency.Like this, existing FCH does not indicate the positional information of MAP position.But in this scheme, BS and RS are operated in identical segmentation.For fear of interference, the MAP of BS and the MAP of RS should be assigned to different time frequency unit group.Like this, except above information, FCH should comprise the positional information of DL-MAP.The positional information of DL-MAP is represented to have 12 bit long by DL-MAP_Start, pointed out the initial time frequency unit of MAP.Therefore, the DL frame prefix in this scheme is 36 bits, and the total length of FCH is 72 bits.FCH in this scheme will take 6 time frequency unit.
All MAP in this scheme will be mapped to FCH time frequency unit afterwards.It should take one group of continuous time frequency unit, and this continuous time frequency unit is from the time frequency unit after last FCH.
For access area, in this scheme, BS and RS are by the public resource of its MS of combined dispatching, that is, DL/UL bursty data and the DL/UL bursty data in RS frame in BS frame should take different OFDMA time frequency unit.This MS bursty data will define in corresponding MAP.For the relay area in this scheme, there is no difference with the relay area of nontransparent relaying.
